designated, were not in repute,
and were held very cheap. But q
radical change has taken place
since that time. Real estate has
advanced several hundred per
cent. in value, every foot Of the
soil has been taken up, and not
without reason, the peop'e assert
that theirs is the garden spot OF
of Georgia. Intensive farming is
becoming the rule, and the farm
ers appear contentel and have no
desire to emigrate.
ALL FULL.
There are no vacant stores or
dwellings in Dawson, and the
town is steadily advancing in pop
ulation and Importance One
drawback only exists. Owing to
the competition at that point, Al
bany enjoys through rates in the
shipment of cotton to New York
and elsewhere, which enables her
to offer better prices for the sta
pie than can be afforded here.
This has caused diversion Of
several hundred bales to that
market. The people seem resolv-
ed, however, to remedy this by
connecting themselves by rail
with the Central City Of South
Georgia and are moving for that
purpose. Verify, railroad com
plications are hidra-headed and
what builds up one community
pulls down another.
Natural outlets. speedy trans
portation and the laws Of trade
are bound to control the situation.
But it does seem hard that the
| pioneer enterprises winch devel-
oped the country and redeemed 1t
from the wilderness should be
crippled by short cuts AMI air
line routes. This result, however,
| is inevitable. Railroad commits
sions and all agencies are power
less to intervene, provided the
necessary capital can be raised to
build and complete the new en-
terprises.

RESERVATION MATTERs.-An absurd
rumor has been circulating of late that
the number of employees on the reser-
walton is to be reduced, and that several
positions heretofore occupied by differ
ent individuals were to be consolidated
into one. We are officially. advised
that there is no truth in the matter and
that no reduction is contemplated in
any department on this reservation.
The new agent, Hon. G. w. Norris; is
very highly spoken of by the Indians
who come here to trade, and under his
administration the old sectional feuds
which formerly kept us ON the alert,
have been eradicated by substituting
the good old democratic doctrine ol
equal and exact justice for all instead
of the favoritism for few which used
to keep things in such an uproar on the
reservation. The white. winged angel
of peace now roosts high where only q
few moons ago grim visaged war held
sway in the hearts of angry men, but
now peace reigns supreme and all il
quiet in this great and glorious Clear
water country.

Our CLIMATE.-Winter Is here, but we
have only the almanac to 60 by. 1t is
true we are in the middle of December,
but the weather is more like May than
midwinter. Nevertheless it is fact
that winter has come again. Swiftly fly
the years adown the corridors of time
Days, weeks, months and years are so
much alike that there is no noticeable
change in anything except our lives.
Time steals upon us imperceptibly.
We grow older with each passing mo-
ment. Youth is passed, old age is
reached; the roseate hues of life begin
to fade; we grow weak in the Joints,
eyesight dms, old age is upon us, and
death steps in and closes the scene
there is new mound in the cemetery,
and the old world jogs along as merrily
as though we had never existed. Now
if some d. f. wants to know what these
reflections have to do with the heading
of this article, we shall have to request
him to ask us something easy.

EDITOR PRESS There is rumor on
this side that some alteration may be
made in the Hog Law at the coming
session of the legislature. Now, would
it not be well for this matter to be ven-
tilated somewhat before anything is
done with it. The present law is farcial
and nuisance. Let us have Hogs" or

better in the neighboring counties, with
a great saving to the farmer in fence

this subject and thus aid the hog ridden
