Sunday-SchOOl Fruit -

Our Methodist friends are try
ing to raise funds for increasing
the usefulness and efficiency of
their Sunday-school. The school
is needing books, maps, illustra-
ted lesson papers, etc, to make
the school more attractive and
useful. The plan adopted is for
the children to collect the amount
in small jugs made in imitation of
different. kinds of fruit. The
fruit has hole in it large enough
to admit nickels, dimes and quar-
ters. The children present the
jugs to their friends and solicit
contributions. The latter part of
this month there will be held a
fruit harvest, when the banks will
be opened and it will be found
which class has raised the most
money. The children are jealous,
and we hope will be very success
ful, as the entire community will
receive the benefit from the funds
raised.

ALL AROUND TOWN.

Last Monday morning Col. j. G. Parks
hailed the JOURNAL man and wanted to
know if he would object to helping devour
the inside of watermelon that had been
presented by some admiring client. A
melon at this season of the year was novel
to the reporter, who readily accepted Col.
Parks kind invitation and went with him
to his office. The melon was promptly
brought forth and opened, but proved not
to be of good quality. The lawyer and
editor then postponed the melon feast
until next season and solemnly adjourned.
The fourth quarterly conference
for the Methodist church here
was held last Friday, Rev. Geo.
G. N. Mcdonnell presiding. The
reports from the churches of Daw-
son, Dover and Graves were quite
encouraging; and a source of pride
to the pastor, Rev. AN. Williams,
who has labored so faithfully ever
since he has been stationed here.
Marshall & Cannon have remov-
ed their large stock of general
merchandise from Dover to this
city and are occupying the brick
store adjoining the post-office in
Farrar's block. They have in
stock a select lot of goods and
will let the public hear from them
through the columns of the JoUh-
NAL in a few days.
Mr.. Witt Tedder says that Dave
Christie was at home, In. bed and
asleep when he Mr.. Tedder) and
Herschel Christie caught the fox
that the latter brought to town
two weeks ago, mention of
which was made in the Journal.
We trust this is satisfactory to
all engaged in the fox hunt.
The cornet band was out sere-
nading last Monday evening and
reflected much credit on them
selves as pupils and Prof. Ware
as teacher. The band is making
rapid advancement, and in short
time Dawson can boast Of the best
band in Southeast Georgia.
Last Monday Mr.. Homer Hayes
brought to our Office the ears OF a
rabbit that measured 81 inches in
length each, making the two eley-
en- and a half inches long. The
rabbit was about four times the
size of the common hare.
The Dawsonites who attended

Sells Brothers Enormous Railroad
Shows United in one Great
Confederation.

THE LARGEST SHOW IN THE WORLD.
This splendid, popular and most
honorably conducted Menagerie,
Circus, Caravan and Museum, ru-
mors of whose coming have al
ready created much comment, is
at last positively announced to
give afternoon ana evening enter
tainments in Dawson on Tuesday,
November 18th. This stipend
Gus combination of leading Rail
road Shows is meeting this season
with patronage SO extraordinary
that the management have been
frequently compelled to give three
exhibitions day in order to ac-
commodate the immense crowds
in attendance. Excursions are
arrangedon the different railroads
from all points within a radius of
fifty miles FROM the place of exhi-
bition, and the instances are rare
when the trains do not come in
crowded to their capacity with
visitors. Their tents, although
the greatest both in nun ber and
magnitude of any show travelling,
are frequently found inadequate
to hold the people, and in order to
give the varied programme in de-
tail, and without emitting any Of
it's features, the management find
their many acres of canvas to be
an absolute necessity.
The pair of huge blood-sweat-
ing hippopotami owned by Messrs.
Sells are the only pair in the en-
tire world. and the only pair that
have ever been exhibited, or prob
ably ever will be. They are truly
the behemoths Ct holy writ, the
wonderful scriptural marvels de-
scribed in holy Job. The herds
Of girafes owned by Messrs, Sells
are also curiosities greater than
any owned by any other show.
The entire world of animals, in
fact, include wonders rare and
strange from all families of the
quadruped world. The all-star
list of 200 frst-class performers is
an unequaled galaxy of superior
merit, and leads anything which
we have ever seen or heard Of in
the known world-200 artists, and
every artist a star. In a word,
the circus and menag>rie are su-
perior to any other travelling or
tented exhibition Of which any
thing is known, and will, we are
confident, meet with surprising
success here.

resting and easily co%mprehended elucida-
tlons concerning the cultivation and manu-
facture of sugar that it will undoubtedly
have an interest for a much larger circle
than the Studentersamfundets Smaaskrifter
is generally calculated for. It deserves
especially to be read by agriculturists,
since the question of the production of
sugar, on account ofthe raw material being
obtained from the vegetable kingdom, has
an agricultural as we'll as q manufacturing
side. The author stamps the colonial pro-
ductl0n OF sugar as we'll on the agricultural
as On the manufac turing side as a wasteful
system (Rovdrift), while the production of
beet sugar, so far as the agricultural part
IS concerned, is so to speak a link in a we'll
carried out rotation and in the manufacture
ing part is an industry carried to a high
state OF development by all the chemical
and mechanical resources of the age. Re-
ftrring to the Colonial production, 100 lbs.
OF sugar cane when brought home from the
field contain about 10 pounds Of sugar,
bnt the extracting apparatus is so bad
that the final result is that only 5 lbs.
are obtained ready for shipment. The
Factory, however, obtains about 8 lbs.
of sugar for every 100 lbs. of cane. The
comparison stands thus, that while on a
soil like that of st. Croix one cannot
expect more than 500 cwts. in favourable
years and 300 in ordinary years, from
which is commonly obtained D per cent. of
sugar, therefore 1500-2500 lbs, of sugar
per Tonde of land, the beets yield as q
rule 800 cwts. per Tonde land and these
again . per cent. of sugar, therefore 2400
lbs. sugar per T0ndeland. Sugar, as mat
tiers now stand is about as cheap as wheat
flour, disregarding of course the artificial
price which sugar has in countries like
Denmark, where the price is considerably
increased by a high tax. In a country
situated III this respect as England sugar
ana wheat flour stand at about the same
figure. Hence it also follows that the con-
sumption OF sugar i'll England is much more
considerable than in Denmark, about sc
lbs. per head annually, while in Denmark
tits scarcely more than % lbs. per head.
In the last 10 years the consumption of
sugar in Europe has increased by about
200 millions Of pounds annually. While
IN Germany there areabout 700 900 T0nder
OF land i'll beet cultivation, the industry is
new i'll Denmark and only this year will
attain an extent of $4,000 Tdr. land but
this little area. will give the agriculturists
a clear profit upon beets of about l million
crowns, and when the industry in a few
years covers 5000 Tdr. land with beets
1t will be able to produce all the sugar
which Denmark consumes, and will cause
nearly 10 millions of kroner, which previous
ly went abroad, to remain here yearly to
the advantage of the country.

Falling Halt A Mile.

The greatest balloon feat ever
witnessed, writes u correspondent
in The Philadelphia Times, was in
September, 1853. Upward of Ii, ,OO0
people were at Lemon Hill and
along the banks Of the Schuylkill
to see NJ. GODDARD 60 up in balloon
along with his brother and drop
the latter out from among the
clouds in a parachute. 1t is said
that the feat had never been at.
tempted before in the history of
ballooning; it was a startling nov-
city, and people crowded to see it.
When the balloon sailed gracefully
upward NJ. GODDARD and two friends
were in the basket, while below it
NJ. Il. GODDARD, his brother, was
seated upon q small bar Of wood
