issuing executions against county
and city tax defaulters.
If there is anything below
the clouds that will make an angel
ED around the eyes, it is seeing
a bachelor trying to thread a nee
die.
Our several county reporters
understand dishing up the news
in very interesting style. They
know just what newspaper needs
newsbits.
Dawson is one of the most
f1onrishing towns in this section
of the State. She is amply able
to take care Of herself under all
circumstances.
The ubiquitous guauo accent
IS now smiling and bowing to the
honest farmer. He wants to sell
his sinking stuff, aud wants to
sell it bad.
+ The man who owns two hun
dred acres of land in Terrell
county ought to feel Independent;
and, if pr perly managed, ought
to make him rich in ten years.
Dawson has not been overrun
With good shows this winter. In
fact, we have had very little in the
amusement line. A good troupe
in Harris Hall wouid draw now.
Get your lowest prices from
jew or Gentle and come right on
to our store. We will Sell y u f,r
less-don't care what the prices
are. MELTON Bros.
For mules Dawson is rapid
ly becoming tie Atlanta of South
west Georgia. The trade here,
or rather the amount Of stock, has
been unusually large.
Let our farmers remember
that nothing is lost by thorough
preparation of the soil before
planting. Thorough and deep
preparation is half of the battle.
Farmers are busy arranging
and preparing for anorher crop.
The last cotton crop was not very
remunerative, but there will
doubtless be as much Of the staple
planted as ever.
Farm hands can be hired
more readily this year for wages
than for a long time before. The
pangs of hunger no doubt, have
much to do with this state of af-
fairs.
"A gentleman from Dawson is
speaking OF buying the two-pound
calibre cannon at Andrews, mount
ing it and manning it, with de
tachmentof artillerymen. -Eufau-
la Bulletin.
-"Beans regarded as food" is
the headline in an exchange.
That is the way beans should be
regarded. Anyone who would re-
gard beans as a beverage would
be away off.
The people Of Shellman are 60
ing to send q committee to meet
the Northern excursionists who
are coming to Georgia about Feb
ruary 1st, and invite them to visit
their place.
The recent cold weather was
very severe on stock and fowls.
Mr.. McNeal, living few miles
from the city, had five grown
chickens to freeze to death last
Sunday night.
Til ere are several men ia
Dawson and Terrell county who
pay for from two to four copies
OF the JOURNAL every year. They
send them to friends in other sec
tions and States.
Druggists and others who
sell morphine and other poison
GUS drugs should bear in mind
that the law requiring the use of
scarlet wrappers went into effect
on January lst, 1886.
1t is no uncommon thing to
sea jug after jug Of liquor ship
ped to Cutbbert. Notwithstand
ing that it is not sold in Cuthbert,
there are evidently some persons
living there that will have it.
As an educational centre
Dawson claims prestige over any
town in Southwest Georgia. The
number of children being sent
here from other points to be edu-
Gated is proof of all we claim.
1t will not be long before we
will have TO cast around to select
man to represent us in the next
legislature. The nomination will
take place soma time during the
summer. AS yet, we have heard
of no aspirants.
We understand that guano
and supply merchants will be
more rigid this year as to whom
they will sell than ever before.
