Monday night to join a party of
excursionists from Albany to
Florida Tuesday.
AS we cannot possibly keep a
correct account of the many visi-
tors to Dawson, we would be
pleased for those who havefriends
stopping with them to notify us.
"A prospectus is out for a
church paper to be printed and is
sued from Eft. Gaines and styled
the Baptist Headlight, a newspa-
per for the benefit of the Baptists
and Christians of South Georgia.
It is the enterprise of Rev. j. IT.
Corley.
"A stroll in the country will show
much Improvements going on at
the various farms throughout the
county. From appearances eve
who has worked at all will
make a good crop.
Several Dawsonites attended
the annual Union Meeting at Mae
edonia last Sunday. 1t is need
less to say that they had an enjoy
able time, for the good people in
every section of old Terrell never
fail to entertain their visitors.
Last Tuesday morning Mr.Bob
Hammond brought to our Office a
twig about six inches long that
contained nine nice, mellow apples.
He also brought an open boil of
cotton. Mr.. Hammond has our
thanks for the apples,
M. G, Minis & Co. have rear
ranged their bar and grocery
store and now have one of the
most attractive and conveniently
arranged houses in the city. Fresh
groceries and the best wines, beer,
liquors, etc, can always be found
there.
An eight-year old boy Of AL
bany, after few moments spent
in deep study, turned to his moth
err and asked: ma, don't you
think we'd better send God word
that we don't want any more chill
dren?"-Ex.
An unmarried man in this
city is taking much interest in a
certain young lady's photographs.
He frequently visits the ar
fist and interrogates him as to the
time of their completion. Suspi-
cious, isn't it?
The popular Miss Willie Do
zier, who has been visiting rela-
tives in Dawson, is now at Bron-
wood on visit. Our society cir
cles are always gladdened when
she visits Dawson, for a heartfelt
welcome is ever hers.
An exchange facetiously re-
marks: Tongues have they, but
they speak not-shoes." They
may not speak, but actions speak
louder than words. We have seen
a shoe in action that was faily
overhowing with eloquence.
Jim Grier attended picnic
at Benevolence last Saturday. Jim
endeavored to create the impress
sion that his object was to get a
good large slice of barbecue, but
if facts were told fair one with
bright eyes and happy smiles WAS
the magnet that drew him thither.
A Randolph county CORES
pondent tells why some of the
young men Of that county will Wis
it Terrell soon: Miss Bridges,
from Terrell county, has been Wis
iting Mrs. Bartie Saunders,at this
point. We wouldn't be surprised
if some of our young men are not
found visiting Terrell soon.
1t is claimed that one can tell
when it is noon by looking at a
cats eye. This may be so, but the
man who would hunt around after
a cat to tel him when dinner time
has arrived would be considered
non compos mentis and no good.
Marshal Hatcher is still on
the lookout for the party that
burglarized his house last week,
but, as. yet, he has no clue. Mr..
Hatcher, however, is lucky in
hunting down criminals, and we
hope and believe he will succeed
in bringing the right party to the
front
A promising sign Of the times
now is that our farmers have re-
versed things. Instead of bring
ing their wagons to market emp
ty and carrying them out loaded,
they bring them loaded and carry
them out empty. Terrell is the
best county in the State and has
a most progressive set Of farm
ers.
Judging from the appearance
of stock driven into town by our
country friends, there never was
nor never will be need Of the es-
adjustment of a society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals
in this county. Terrell undoubt-
ly has the finest and best-cared
for stock Of anv county in the
