A Sick Editors Trouble.

Our editor this week is suffer
ing under a double attack. He
has measles and looks SO pretty
that he keeps a looking glass on
his bed by his side in order that
he may admire himself. This at
tack is slight and he is managing
1t successfully. He hopes to be
out soon. The other attack is
from Brother Russell, of the
cambridge Democrat, and gives
our young friend much more con-
cern than the measles. Brother
Russell congests the young editors
pride by calling him Colonel. Mr..
Rainey is used to being called by
pet names-he is often called a
dove and other such terms of en-
dearment. 1t was truly unkind
in our brilliant Democrat to let
down our young friends ambition
so severely. Hereafter, Mr.. Dem
ocrat, call him General, Captain,
Professor, Mister, but don't call
him Colonel. Then, ths Demo-
crat rather gets the best of him
on the Joe Brown question. Mr..
Russell gives as his reason for
the endorsement of Mr.. Brown, the
fact that in the last election for
senator the people of Georgia
unanimously instructed its repre-
sentatives to return Mr.. Brown to
the senate. He could afford to
fight Mr.. Brown, but not the
State of Georgia. 1t seems to us
that the point is well taken, but
Mr.. Rainey told us to say: Mr..
Russell, you are wrong; the peo-
pie of Georgia never did endorse
Mr.. Brown; the matter of his sem
atorial aspirations was not an is
sue in the campaign. Georgia
would like for Mr.. Brown, his
great mind, his fine railroad, his
rich coal mines, his large real es-
tate property, his liberal and WISE
ly directed gifts to education and
other things of like meanness to
be taken up and cast into the
midst of the sea. Perhaps, if the
faith of Georgia's millions was
like unto our young editors, Mr.
Lamar's and few others,it might
be done. Now, Mr.. Democrat,
please never call Mr.. Rainey Col
onel any more, and just consider
that the point at Issue between us
is settled, and Mr.. Rainey will
get well of both of his attacks.

Items from Dover.

To use a phrase familiar to
those who once stood in the lines
OF the battle and heard the rattle
of musketry and the roar of can
non, all is quiet along the lines of
Dover.
Col. F. NJ. Harper, who was no
ted for his wit and good humor, on
one occasion had been to Dover.
On his return to Dawson he met a
man who inquired of him what
sort of a place Dover was and
how he would know it when he
reached it. The Colonel said:
Dover is wide place in the road
with patch of bushes on each
side. Dover is not that way now.
Those patches of bushes have
been cleared away and nico gar
dens, cotton and corn patches and
waving grain occupy theirsplaces,
and mocking birds and other aeri-
al songsters, instead of discours-
ing their music in the groves, find
a place for song among the
branches of the cape jessamine
and other yard shrubery.
The crops are tolerably fair in
this section. Grain crops that
have been well fertilized are good,
otherwise generally poor.
Rev. A. NJ. Williams preached
to us Friday and Saturday nights
and Sunday. At eleven o'clock,
Sunday, he preached an interest
ing sermon to very attentive au-
dience w.
Dover, May 10Th, 1885.

Hat, or Soap, Which2

Saving at the spigot and vast
ing at the bung. One of our fine
looking young gentlemen recently
visited the great Exposition at
New Orleans. Ofcourse he provi-
ded himself with new clothes and a
new and late style hat 1t was
in the beginning Of the late dry
and dusty spell and as he had
many uses for his fine hat he con-
cluded to wrap it up neatly in pa
per and lay it gently on the rack
in the car on which he was travel
ing, and ride bear headed. When
he reached New Orleans and look
ed in the glass he imagined that a
small section OF the smoke stack
of the engine had broken loose
and lit on his head. A further
speculation on its condition sug-
gested the possibility of making a
good crop of peas in the rich bot
tom soil that formed not an allu-
vial, but aerial deposit on his head.
A sober minded companion, how
ever, suggested that the best use
for his head was ornamental and
that the polish of soap and water
would make it more attractive.
No notice appeared in the Times
Democrat of the shortness in the
water supply that followed the
registration of two Dawsonians at
one of the city boarding houses,
but our friend has since been
bothered with the mathematical
problem as to the relative value
of hats or soap. If you desire a
verification of the above mentioned
facts and information as to the
health of our young friend, con-
suit Prof. Quillian.

Dover, May 10Th, 1885.

[ adhere strictly to the eleventh
commandment. Owing to that
fact and some others not necessa-
ry to be mentioned, our Dover re-
port this week will be short. But
inasmuch as this commandment
was not written upon the tables of
stone that came down from Sinai s
burning summit, where the light
ming played and the thunders ut
tered their voices, probably you
would like to know what the elev-
enth commandment is. It is,
let every man attend to his own
business and let other peoples
business alone.
The crops, since the late rains
have fallen,are looking finely, and
our hearts are cheered and our
hopes run out and view with de-
light the sunbeams that play and
the dew drops that glisten upon
the landscape of future life.
Rev. Mr.. John Martin, Pastor
of the Baptist church, preached a
sermon upon the subject of faith.
His ideas were good and practical
ole, and his intelligent and atten-
tive audience, if they would treas
ure them up in their hearts might
profit by them.
The attendance upon our Sun
day-school last Sabbath was good.
The motto of our Sunday-school
is: Onward and upward. May
her banners waive triumphantly
until all i'll this community shall
join in the sweet music of her
songs, and travel on to Heaven
and to God. w.

Homicide.

Last Thursday night a Difficult
ty occurred on the place of Mr..
Jeff King, in the fourth district
of this county, between Jim Will
son and George Washington both
eolored,in which the former fatal
ly cut the latter in the left side,
from which he died on Saturday
morning. Mr.. King came to the
city and. notified the authorities,
and after consulting the Solicitor
General, Coroner Daniel was mott
fed and he at once summoned a
jury, and aided by DR.. VIC. Ken
drick, county physician, verdict
was returned in accordance with
the above facts. Jim Wilson left
the county Immediately after the
cutting.
.LATER! Since writing the above
jim Wilson has been heard from.
He made his way to Alabama,and
sent his father-in- law back for his
trunk and other effects. The au-
thorities soon heard of the arri-
val Of the old man. A telegram
was Immediately forwarded to Al
ALBANIA, and doubtless by this time
an arrest has been made.

The Prize Drill.

The Dawson Guards held their
drill for the Stevens prize medal
and the second prize, q beantfui
red plume in the new park on
Stonewall street opposite Judge
Perry's on last Friday night. The
night was beautiful, the park at
tractive, the company Of spectators
In good spirits and enthusiastic.
AT about half past eight the COM
pany marched from its armory in
to the park. The drill of the
whole company in the man.
ual Of arms showed a
decided improvement since its
last public parade. Capt. Laing
and his lieutenants deserve great
credit for their perseverance and
painstaking labor in perfecting
their charge in its tactics.
The drill for the prize then en-
sued. The commission officers
acted as the committee of award,
and the company was divided into
detachments of four-some six de-
tachments were carried through
the manual, their errors noted by
each of the committee. After a
short comparison of marks it was
found that there was a tie between
Messrs. r. A. Hogue. Tyre L.
Jennings and Frank Clark.
The drill through which these
three trained soldiers were then
put, was intensely interesting,and
by far the most attractive event
of the evening. 1t resulted in the
prize medal being awarded to Mr..
r. A. Hogue, and another tie be-
tween Messrs. Clark and Jennings.
The last tie was settled by lot,
which gave the plume to Mr..
Frank E. Clark.
Dawson has every reason to
feel proud of its military compa-
ny. 1t is a body of fine looking,
earnest, noble young men, who
are making commendable progress
in the art military.

Judge Clarke Sustained.

At last fall term of Clay Supe-
rior Court, Judge John I. Clarke
presiding, the case of Gum, VS..
the Central Railroad and Banking
Co. was, on demurrer, dismissed
by the Judgment of the court; the
court holding that said railroad
company was not liable for the
accident by the sinking of the
steamer Wyley, ON the ground
that said company had no right to
run a steamboat line. The Su-
preme Court of Georgia lately af-
firmed Chat Judgment. Some
cases, growing out of the same
accident were tried in Alabama
before Judge H. d. Clayton, who
ruled exactly contrary to the de
cision of Judge Clarke. A large
recovery was allowed against the
company. From our exchanges
we learn that the Supreme Cour
of Alabama has lately reversed
Judge Clayton, and held the sam,
doctrine as declared by Judg

Russia's Enormous War Burdens.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
At time when loose statements as
to the magnitude of the issues at stake
in an angic-Russian contest are so
general it may be useful to recall some
of the statistics the last was in which
Russia took part. From the crossing
ef,the Danube in June, 1877, until
February, 1875 the Russian loss in
killed and wounded was 89,304. The
cost of that little war In money was
equally frightful. The Official report
of the total expenses was 902,000,O00
ruoles, averaging 81, 100000 monthly.
The silver ruble Is equal to about
eighty cents, but the rubles current in
Russia then deprecated nearly one
third. During the war this paper cur
Tency swelled from I'll, 10000 to 1,
154, 600 rubles, and loan followed loan.
Still the lesson of peace does not seem
to have been learned. Under another
such burden killing taxes and virtual
BANKRUPTCY must follow peace what.
ever the issue of the struggle, and it
is not impossible that even if absolu-
tism be victorious in the field it may
meet its death blow at home. AT
least that is the view of King killer
Hartman. who, speaking in the name
Of the nihilists, is reported to have
said that during the war the terroristS
would be quiet, confident in the belief
that the sequel OF the war, whoever
conquers, will b. the ending of the
line of cZarS.
