SPORTING.
TWO BRUISERS.
The DishOnOrabie Title Retained by
Johnny Sullivan.
SAN FRANcIsCo. March 4.

SAN Francisco, March 1.
The Sullvan-Robinson fight came eff here
last night. Fifteen thousand people were as
sembled in the pavilion and it is estimated
that as many more were turned away. The
receipts from the sale of tickets was nearly
$40, 900. The arrangements, which were un-
der the management of Hugh Coyle, were
perfect. One hundred policemen were dis
tributed among the audience to preserve or
der. Sullivan made his appearance in the
ring at 8 80. He was in first class form and
was greeted enthusiastically. few min
utes later he was followed by Robinson,
whose condition was unfavorably commented
upon by the audience. Sullivan weighed
204 pounds, Robinson l70.
An announcement that the police had re-
fused to allow the use of three ounce gloves
was hissed. Eight ounce gloves were used.
Thomas Chandler was referee and Hiram b.
Cook time keeper for Robinson. and William
Muldoon for Sullivan. Robinson was
knocked down eight times in the first round,
going down at each blow from Sullivan with
out receiving any punishment The second
round was a repetition of the first except that
Robinson fell down fourteen times in rapid
succession. In the third round some man
puvres were shown bv Robinson, who how
ever did not succeed so well in avoiding pun
ishment, he getting several severe blows,
none of which appeared to take the starch
out of him.
In this round the claim of foul made
by Sullivans time keeper, he stating that
Robinson fell without being struck by Sulli-
van. The claim was not noticed by the ref
cree. In the fourth round, Robinson's trick
of falling without an exchange of blows was
altogether to evident for the referee to allow
it to pass The round was unfinished. The
match was given to Sullivan on the foul.
Robinson escaped with little punishm
though Sullivan planted left hand under cuts
on his face when he was in the act of falling.
Robinsops conduct was severely censured 10y
the spectators. Sullivan was loudly cheered.
match had been arranged between Pete
Mccoy and Young Dutch, but it was stopped
by the police on account of the gloves to he
used.
A sequel to the Sullivan Robinson fight
last night occurred this afternoon in the
Baldwin hotel. Several members of the Sui
livan combination, including Steve Taylor,
were sitting in the ba--room, when Robin
son and some friends entered After the in
terchange of salutations. Taylor made some
contemptuous remarks about Robinson. The
latter retorted, whereupon Taylor led of,
catching Robinson under the ear and knock
ing him down. They clinched, and rough
separated the men. 1t is stated that Robin
sons expulsion from the Olympic club has
been unanimously voted.

A q Il N r g.:
MonotOnaas kissing.

Some ladies are beginning to complain
of the kissing nuisance as now practiced
between members of their sex. 1t is
declared that the practice OF one wo.
man ssluting another with kiss when
ever she meets her after an absence is
becoming too common, and that the
csculatory welcome should be limited
to ladies who are very dear friends
and to gentlemen when properly author
issd. Many ladies'. who do not like to
DO rude, are compelled to kiss other
tsiies Of their acquaintance when they
meet them because it seems to be ex.
pected, and TO refuse to return the salu-
tation would be embarrassing.

The young mentally hope they
won't succeed in their endeavors.

Society young mon dream of
receiving watch pockets, neckties,

girls.
While they are expected to give
in return rings, jewelry cases,
toilet sets and brass-mounted

Annual Cotton Statement

Up to this writing there have
been shipped from Dawson, 7,64S
bales of cotton for this season
There are at depot ready for
shipment 2l0 bales. In the differ
ent warehouses, as we can best es-
innate, there are about $50 bales,
making the total number of bales
received this year 8,60S. This will
give Dawson about 10000 bales,
this season, an increase OF some
1000 bales over last year. Much
of this cotton has been brought
from the other counties,and so in
creased the annual receipts. 1t
argues well for Dawson. The
live cotton buyers here and the
liberal merchants can and will
control a good trade with our
neighbors Of adjoining counties.

The Hon. O. r. Stevens.

The Atlanta Constitution, of
last Friday, has the following
complimentary article about Hon.
O. 3. Stevens, our representative:
The Hon. o. B. Stevens, of Ter
rell, is one of the busiest men in
the house. His constant atten-
ton to business, added to his fine
ability and patriotism, give him a
position that is second to few
members. Old Terrell could not
do better than to keep Mr.. Stevens
just where he is, if he will con-
sent to stay there.

Military, Notes.

It is the duty of every one to
contribute towards the success OF
of the Military Fair.
The Captain of the Military
Company inform us that about
$500 worth of goods have been
contributed to the fair by mer-
chants, bothss lat home and abroad.
James Sons have a Military
Fair of their own, and they are
running it on a lively schedule.
The displays are simply grand.
Admission free.-It.
We were in error last week in
stating that the Military Fair
would open Monday night
last. We were misinformed. But
right here we rise to remark that
it will open Monday night next,
and everything indicates grand
success.
The company has been made a
present of ton of Ammoniated
Bone Super Phosphate, made by
W. b. Seal, of Baltimore, Md.
This fertilizer will be raffled dur
during the fair, and the farmers
should all attNnd and try for it.
Baldwin & Co., of Savannah,
Ga, have given the military COM
pany, through their agents, Do
zier & Melton Bros, a ton of their
celebrated Ammoniated Bone.
This should be remembered by
our planters when they begin
buying their fertilizers.

POL S O n

In the blood is apt to show itself in the
Spring, and nature should by all means be
assisted in throwing il off. Swift's Spe-
citic does this effectively. 1t is purely
vegetable, non-poisunous remedy, which
helps nature to force all the poison or taint
out through the pores Of the skin.
Mr.. Robert A. Essley, of Dickson, Ten,
writes, under date March 10, 1884: Il
had chills and fever, followed by rheuma-
tism, for three years, so that | was not
able to attend to my business; had tried
almost every kind of medicine, and found
no relief. A friend recommended Swift's
Specific. | tired one bottle and my health
began to improve. l continued until had
taken six bottles, and it has set me on my
feet, as sound ard well as ever. | recon-
mend it to all similarly afflicted
Letters from tYenty-three (23) Of the
leading retail druggists OF Atlanta say, un-
der date March "a 1884: "We sell more
of Swift's Specific than any other enc REM
edy, and three to ten times rs much as any
other blood medicine. We sell it to all
classes, and many of the best families us
it as a general health tonic.

1t is remarkable how Chris tina
Day, with its joyousness, its ten.
derness, its benevolence, asserts
itself above the sorrow and harsh
ness and selfishness of the world
1t is not simply that the festival
of Christ's nativity is everywhere
observed by people Of all classes
and conditions with increasing
marks of earnestness; for it would
be strange if the world paid no at
tention to such an anniversary.
To those who really do believe in
their hearts what most of us pro-
fess with our lips, of the stipend
Gus truth which this day commem-
crates it must be a day Of intense
and solemn gladness, and even to
the great number who have never
grasped the faith of Christ in
their hearts and lives, and who
have conceived of Him only as the
central figure in human history,
what day can compare in impor-
tance to that which marks his
birth? But there is more than this
in the widespread observance of
Christmas. Unbelief has Knocked
at it and Puritan narrowness has
frowned upon it, and yet the
whole Christian world combines to
make of this the one great uni
versal festival, in which all classes
and all ages unite
IN spontaneous expression of
gladness and one good will. Is it
not because the day does speak to
every one of US of Gods great gift
to man; of the glory that was Of
fered to God in the restoration of
a perfect manhood, and of the
peace that was brought among
men on earth through the reunion
of their nature to God? Is it not
because the song of the angels re-
sound in our hearts that we re-
joice upon this day?
No wonder the civilized world
unites in celebrating Christmas,
for it reminds us of the cruel
death, the triumph over the grave,
the cross with its widespread
arms, the anchor to which the dy-
ing man clings, as his little bark
sails out into the mysterious river
of eternity. This anniversary
celebrates a world enlightened,
civilized, humanized and exalted
by the teachings of the Master
Such day should stir the hearts
of men and crystalize the world
into one universal chorus of
Thanksgiving.
