Assault With Intent TO Kill.

Last Saturday negro woman
reported to officer Hatcher that
Mat Whaley, also of ebony hue,
had cursed her. Mr.. Hatcher went
down the street to arrest Mat and
found him whipping another ne
gro woman. The arrest was made
and while on the way to the guard
house the negro drew his knife
and would have cut Mr.. Hatcher
had he not drawn his pistol and
leveled it at the prisoner. The
unruly negro was then taken to
the guard house where he remain
ed until Tuesday morning, when
he was taken to the county Jail in
default of a $500 bond for assault
with intent to kill.

An Appeal.

A letter from Mrs. Nancy Pot.
ter, widow Of the late Rev. John
M. Potter, informs me that she ia
in great distress and need of help.
She has been trying to support
herself with the needle since her
husbands death, but recently she
received fall, which is likely to
leave her a cripple for life. She
says: Il am without a dime, and
l want you to ask the people of
the Methodist churches, where
Mr. Potter labored so long and
faithfully, to remember me in my
sore affection, and send me lit
tie help" This is worthy and
a needy case, and any money sent
me for that purpose will be re-
mitted to sister Potter.

EDITOR DAWSON JOURNAL:
[ hurriedly write you a few lines
to let you know that we are still
alive though we are having a
great deal of sickness in this com
munity. Little Annie Collier
died last Wednesday. She was a
sweet little girl. Oh how her par
ents loved her; but God saw prop
er to take her away from the
troubles Of this world and give
her a home with the angels.
The protracted meeting, which
lasted about week at the Meth
odist church, closed last Thurs
day with good results. There
were several added to the church
and the membership of the church
realized spiritual blessing. The
sunlight of Gods love is beaming
upon the pathway of many a trav-
eler to the better land.
Miss Matte Howell, who lives
near Amerlcus, and who has been
spending several weeks with ben
aunt, Mrs. j. NJ. Avera, left Sun
day for her home. Miss Matte
won the feelings and affections OF
some of the young men in this
community, think.

Singing at Sardis.

1t was the editors pleasure on
last Sunday to attend the all day
singing at Sardis. Mr.. VIM. Jen-
nings had just closed his singing
school Friday before and on Sat
urday and Sunday the people met
there to indulge in a regular old
fashioned singing. The music
was excellent and would have
done credit to people of q large
city where they have every posi-
BILE advantage for cultivating the
talent. About twelve o'clock din
ner was spread upon the ground
and the large congregation of peo-
pie partook of tho good things
that were provided in great album
dance. Without going into de-
tails, we will say that the dinner
was true exponent of Terrell
county hospitality. No greater
praise can be extended to the men
hofurnished and ladies who pre-.
pared the great variety of substan.
tials and delicacies. We return
thanks for the courtesies extended
us While there.

Browns Shops.

The rebuilding of Mr.. s. V.
Browns carriage and wagon re-
posltory is now going rapidly on
and will, in few days, be COM
pleted. The building will be
larger than before and Mr.. Browr7
will have increased fscilities for
turning out work. He proposes
then to manufacture and sell his
well-known Brown" wagon cheap
er than before-in fact, he intends
to meet all competition and sell
as low as anyone. He solicits the
trade of his old customers and
will guarantee satisfaction. Look
out for the announcement of his
readiness for business at an early
date.

A Word to Our Farmers.

We wish to say. to our farmer
friends that the cotton season has
not yet fairly opened. When it
does, our market Will not lag be-
hind, but will come boldly to the
front and offer superior induce
ments to the planters, as usual. We
will have buyers here that will
keep their figures up to the very
highest notch, Besides our local
men, there will be buyers here
from Columbus, Savannah, Eufau-
la and other cities, which is suffi-
cient guarantee that the farmer
will be served right. Besides this,
our merchants sell goods as cheap
as they can be boughtin any interi-
or town in Georgia. The highest
price for cotton and the lowest
price for goods ere the notices of
our buyers and merchants. Bring
your cotton along to Dawson, get
high price for it and get your
goods cheaper than can be bcu ght
elsewhere.

Mad Dogs.

Last Friday morning Jim Jen-
nings, col, reported to officer
Crouch that his dog had gone mad
and had bitten his hog and five
other dogs at another negroes. The
officer got his gun, went to Jim's
house and began war on the canine
race. AS he neared Jim's gate, the
dog started toward him, but was
stopped by a load of shot. Mr..
Crouch then went to the other ne
gro's house and killed the five dogs
which had been bitten. The hog
was placed in a pen, but has yet
showed no signs of hydrophobia.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Crouch kill
ed another mad dog near the Meth
odist church, making seven in four
days.
