act authorizing the trustees of the
lunatic asylum to remand to the
authorities Of the differeut coun-
ties all patients whose condition
is such that there is no probabili-
ty of restoration to sanity, and
who are regarded as harmless and
inoffensive, and whose remission
to social life would reasonably in
volve no danger to the life of those
with whom theSmay be associa-

The Ohio Farmcrs.

DR.. Estabrook will soon be in
Atlanta with his excursion of
Ohio farmers and every section
of the State, almost every county,
is making an effort to turn the
party in its direction. These OK
cursionists are all men of means
who are seeking homes in a more
equable climate, and they will be
an addition to any community.
While the last party was here a
part came to Americas and went
out on the A, 2. & l.. r. r, with
which section they were highly
delighted, some Of them having
already located on the line of that
road. Terrell county has many
acres of land lying idle simply
because the labor is not here to
cultivate them. Why should we
not get a contingent OF these skill
ed farmers 20 come and look at
the magnificent farming lands Of
our county? The JOURNAL heart
lily favors such a movement, and
suggests meeting at the court
house tonight to appoint com
mittee to invite them. Let all our
citizens turn out. While it will
result directly in beneftting the
people of the county outside of
Dawson, it will indirectly help the
town, for whatever builds up the
county builds up Dawson. There
fore let all who are interested in
filling our county with substantial
mems sons Of the men who in for
ty years transformed Ohio from a
wilderness into a garden-go to
the court house tonight.
