Shall We Go Forward?

A notice is now being published
in the JOURNAL that bill will bt
introduced in the legislature tt
give the townof Dawson authori
| ty to issue bonds for certain i'm.
provements. The act will provide
that the question of s'bonds'' Oh
no "bonds" shall be submitted tc
the legal voters of the town and
that it shall require majority OF
the legal voters to authorize the
issuance of the bonds.
Improvements are imperatively
needed in Dawson which can
not-nor never will-be met with
ready cash. For instance, we
need more effectual system Of
drainage. AS much as this is
needed does any one suppose, as
easy as it is of procurement, and
comparatively cheap as it is, That
the town will ever lay aside
enough money to accomplish this?
The same line of argument ap-
plies to our water supply. Our
supply Of water is inadequate and
impure. The town IS sadly in
need Of an artesian well. If the
people wait for protection against
confagration and diseases, and to
have their homes supplied with
pure water, until the town lays a
sufficiency of money aside to do
this, they will never have their
wishes realized. Enough money
will never accumulate in the city's
vaults to give US the much needed
improvements.
The present is the time for
Dawson to fix her prosperity and
continued progress on q frmer
foundation than ever. Let her
meet and grasp the emergency
which now presents itself, let its
action be manly, not vacillating
and timorous. IF the latter course
is pursued we will be drifting
along ten years from now without
improvement. Let the voters of
the town discuss and weigh care
fully the question and then decide
whether the course of the town
shall be forward or backward.

FIRE MONDAY NIGHT.
Browns Wagon Mandatory Burned

About ! o'clock last Monday
night the fire bell pealed forth its
notes of alarm. 1t was soon dis
covered that the wagon manufacto-
ry and repository Of Mr.. S. v.
Brown was in flames. When dis
covered the fire was beyond con-
troll, and the few who first arrived
on the scene went to work to save
as much as possible of Mr.. Browns
things. Soon o large number Of
citizens had responded to the
alarm, and all went to work with a
Will to prevent the fire from COM
municating with adjoining bnild-
ings, and it was only by hard work
that they were kept from burning.
All of our citizens, and especially
several white and colored men,
among them Mr.. J. G.. Wright, of
Webster, deserve great praise for
their heroic work. The fire is be-
lieved by some to have been of in
cendiary origin, while others be-
lieve that it was fired by mice with
matches.
Mr.. Brown lost several wagons
and a large lot of wagon material,
which he had just received. The
property was valued at $4,000 and
was insured for $4, ,250.
Mr.. Brown is undecided wheth-
er or not he will rebuild
Leroy Brown lost his military
uniform, gun and all of his cloth
ing; Mr.. I. A.. Ruggles his tools, a
fine set of furniture and a large lot
OF lumber, including some very fine
mahogany; Mr.. Livingston his
paints, easles and brushes; Mr.. T.
d. Russell chest Of fine tools.
These gentlemen had no insurance.
Their combined loss is probably
$3.50.

Last Saturday we accepted an
invitation from Mr.. M. S. Keith
10 attend meeting of the Cypress
Pond Agricultural Society at the
academy, about four miles from
the city. Seated behind Mr..
Keith's black nag, with Mr.. Keith
holding the ribbons" we soon
arrived at our destination, and
found several "tillers of the soil'
assembled. The members of this
society meet regularly once
month to discuss farm topics.
Much good accrues from this in
terchanging Of ideas. The club
is composed of intelligent and
impressive farmers, who are do
ipg much towards revolutionizing
farming in this section. Fruit
culture was discussed Saturday
by'the members, much to the ben
eft of all present. On the End of
July the members and their fam
lies will gather at the club house
and participate in the pleasures
of a basket dinner, but vail have
no big barbecue, as has been re-
ported. An oration will be deliy-
cred during the day, but we are
unable to say by who,as Capt. Rob-
erts, who has this part of the pro-
gramme in charge, refuses to tell.
He doubtless intends to surprise
the people that day by bringing
forth celebrated and renowned
orator. The members will invite
few of their friends to be on
hand that day with well-filled bas-
kets. A pleasant time is anticipa-
ted.

Know,saxa !. 4 source Of wealth

There does exist another and mex
haustible source of wealth and progress,
viz, new knowledge obtainable by
means of scientific research. 10 Is upon
such knowledge, gained by experiments
made to examine natural forces and SUBJ
stances, that we must sooner or later
depend as a fundamental source of ma
tional prosperity. AS fast as this knowl-
edge Is evolved by discoveries, it Is APP
piled In more Immediately practical
forms by numerous inventors, and then
manufacturers and men of business use
those practical realities in the produc-
ton ofwealth. This has been the order
of events In the past and will be in the
future; this was the way in which we
got wealth out of coal. Persons of mar.
row views on the subject will consider
the above proposition vague and UNI
practical; But this order of things Is O
great fact and unavoidable. We are the
servants of Nature, and have no choice
in the matter; we might as we'll hope to
live without food az expect to advance
in civilization without the aid of new
knowledge. From "a Scientific VieaU of
