The Dawson journal. (Dawson, Ga.) 1878-18??, 1884-06-19
Mr.. C. N. Harris. one of Ter

y
couple Of nice watermelons. Thes,
we're the first of the season il
Terrell. Charley is not only
good farmer but, also, a goot
friend.
This is the season Of the veal
that business changes take place
Old DR.. Cheatham has recently solt
his drug store to Messrs. Dan anc
viii Crouch, a couple of live
progressive young men. We learn
that there will be several changes
made among the clerks about town
also.
Mr.. W. N. Thornton brought to the
journal office on last Monday some
OF the finest peaches we ever saw
grown in this country. Sach
peaches would readily sell in the
northern markets at 10 cts apiece.
The high sheriff will accept our
thanks.
A walking match among the
boys Is being agitated and it would
not surprise us il ere long the com
petltofs put themselves in training.
We think such a thing just at this
time would be quite literally pat
ronized. Wake up bows and eat
up something to relieve the mo-
notony Of these dull times.
We have been requested to state
that the announcement made in
last weeks journal that the picnic
at Cypress Pond school house
would be a public affair was an
error. 1t is intended only for the
members of the agricultural club
and such friends as they may chose
to invite.
The approaching warm sum-
mer days will, no doubt, thin out
our population q good deal. The
departure Of the college students
as we'll as the faculty, besides a
number Of citizens on the hunt for
pleasure and recreation will make
a big difference in the general APP
pearance of our streets.
DR.. Kendrick says the building
of a railroad from Columbus to
Albany via Dawson has been the
"dream of his life," and he be-
lieves if the people will all pull to-
gether the way is clear. The Doc
tor is thoroughly enthused upon
the question Of the new railroad
and he can see no reason why it
should not be built.
Travellers to Albany will find
the Barnes House most delight
full stopping place, and, also, we
want to direct parties visiting
Albany to the convenient Livery
Stables that are situated near to
this excellent hotel. All of these
establishments are presided over
by that genial fellow, Eugene
Barnes, and once having put your
self in his care you will be salts
fed. Give him a trial. He will
take care Of YOU and your stock
too.
We are in receipt of a beautiful
array Of samples of writing paper
and pencil tablets made at the
Chronicle Binding and Box Facto-
ry, of Augusta, Ga. They make
in their box factory shoe, shelf,
millinery, candy, drug, and a vari-
ETY. of other boxes, and will dupli-
cate Northern prices. Their pen
Gil tablets are the cheapest in the
market without doubt. Send to
them for samples and prices. We
think we can safely promise our
orders for tablets.
Prof. Allen is again at home and
will be with us until the LIST of
September. The closing exercises
of his school in Albany came off
on last Thursday. The News and
Advertiser says: prof. Allen is
an honest, conscientious teacher,
aud has done good work during
the past year. Those who were
present say the examination was
thorough and most satisfactory in
every respect. The scholars ex-
hibited a familiarity with their
studies which comes only from
thorough drilling. Prof. Allen
had every reason to be proud of
his pupils"
