The Dawson journal., 1885-05-28

young men with nice clothes ON
can lie when they are inconvep-
lently located with reference to q
grand jury. The Judge can see
through things as thin as air.
Rev. S. s. Sweet, the genial rep
resentative of the advertising de.
partment of the Swift Specific
Company, paid our city a business
visit ON Saturday last. He is al.
ways welcome and always among
friends.
His Honor Judge John T
Clarke presides in our Superior
court this week with his usual
dignity and ability. For a clear,
analytical mind, we doubt if
Judge Clarke has an equal in
Southwest Georgia.
The stiffness of the early night
watches in Dawson is now broken
by the terrific blast of a dozen or
more brass horns all Tapping the
air at once. Perseverance, will
conquer, boys, and this you have,
without discount.
The Robinson Hotel is to be a.
reality. MIR. B. H. Brown, the
contractor, is tearing down the
old shops to make way for it.
That was wise act of the city
council releasing the enterprise
from tax for five years.
A jury appointed by the ordina-
ry has adjudged Mr.. 7. J. Ander-
son, living about six miles from
town who recently attempted to
commit suicide, a lunatic and re-
commended him as a fit subject for
the Asylum in Milledgville.
The late seasonable rains fell
at a most opportune time, and
now the crop prospect is as cheer
ing as we have known it for many
years. The farmers are all in
good humcr and wear smile of
cheerfulness that cannot be mis-
taken.
There will be an interesting
meeting of the Cypress Pond
Agricultural Society on the
first Saturday in June. Busi-
ness of Importance will be
before the body, and the at
tendance of every member is de-
sired.
Committees and the general
public do not always agree on the
awarding of prizes. A lady Of
this city thought one of the
Guards ought to have had the
medal at the prize drill the other
night. The committee had abOut
30 black marks against him.
A new hotel, new brass band,
a new fire engine, a new military
company and first rate prospect
for a new artesian well, creates
new life in our little city. Moth
ing like enterprise, gentlemen;
just let the ball keep rolling, and
be sure you don't stop it, city ia
theirs.
Rev. Geo. G.. N. MacDonell,
Presiding Elder of the Americus
District held the quarterly confer
ence for the Terrell Circuit at Sa-
lem on last Saturday and Sunday.
He also preached at Bronwood on
Friday and Sunday nights and
Monday morning. His congrega-
tions were pleased and helped.
Perhaps Mr.. VIM. Kaigler's re-
ticence with regard to the Com
mercial Convention may be ex-
planned by the fact of his sudden
recall from the Gate City. AS
soon as leak was discovered in
our new cistern, the Captains s
special pet, the boys telegraphed
him of the fact. 1t was not many
hours before the jealous council
man was on the scene of acci-
dent.
Sheriff Thornton received a
warrant from Sheriff Edwards, of
Dougherty county, on last Friday
to effect the arrest of one Mr.
Wheeler, charged with shooting a
Mr.. Bunch about ten days previ-
Gus in the aforesaid county. Mr..
Wheeler had been stopping in
Chickasawhatchee since the shoot
inc and, as he considered the act
iustifable, was making no effort
to avoid arrest. He was arrested
80 Co+urdoy morning by Bailiff
