The regular period is from the 3rd

DAWSON RtAL ESTATE.
Vt Commands High Degree of Conf
dene ,-Always in Demand.

denes-AiwGys in Demand.
We can safely say there has new
er been a time when Dawson rea
estate commanded so high degre,
of confidence among the most con
sentative capitalists a deed to an
acre of Dawson dirt is about al
easily negotiated at its assessed val
ne as government boud. The aV-
erage banker will lend within O
very small per cent of its value,
and the retired capitalist will take
it as permanent Investment, feel
ing sure of obtaining steady an.
nual revenue therefrom, and of see
ing it enhance in value each year
as long ev he holds it.
The question is frequently asked,
"A here are the people coming
from to occupy all the new houses
and to settle the new terri DRY Y"
Now, if the Doubling "homases"
will take the trouble to post them
selves they will find that people are
moving here every day, and more
want to come Fromithis view OF
the case it appears that we must in
evitablyenlarge our limits, and those
waiting to''iind something cheap"
in the immediate vicinity of the
bell tower, before providing them
selves with a home, will wake up
to the fact that very few elligibly
located lots can be bought within
a mile of that useful but not very
ornamental structure.
A very encouraging feature of
our city, just now, is the DISPOSE
ton of all classes of citizens to own
their homes. This, In a measure,
is a result of the evident and
steady advance, past, present and
prospective, in values. A clerk,
or book keeper, or mechanic, or
laborer, grows FESTIVE under the
constant drain of rents. If he is a
close calculator he discovers that,
with small sum in hand, he can
borrow the balance needed to pur-
chase home. For a few years,
instead of rents he pays interest,
es.insurance and imperceptibly,
even to himself, at the end Of FIVE
or ten years the home is paid for,
interest ceases, and the valde of his
place has increased fifty per cent,
and Dawson has gained a perman-
ent citizen, perhaps a well ted al
derman /; while his companion, who
was waiting for something cheap"
driited off to Birmingham, and
thence to Macon, and thence to
Brunwick, and finally back to
Dawson, and is still renter, who
will probably not be here long
enough to vote in a tbree>cornered
race tor mayor mex. December.
We have grown too large now
ever to seriously think of backslid>
ing. If we were a community of
mossbacks flcm Swamp Town, our
city would still grow. for the out>
side world has its eye upon us; and
should we drop a real good thing
some smarter man from another
city or state would soon pick it
up.
. The present year will bring us
the Columbus Southern, and the
next will bring the line from Quin-
cy to Dawson. Each new road
brings new industries, and capital
and population bring demand for
real estate. We haven't too much to
supply the demand, and values a
few squares from the bell tower will
stand a decided advance over pres
ent fipures.

AEA0KESTVRE WIN A CRIMINAL.
Sheriff ThofntOn's Exciting ExOsrieacs
While Making an Arrest


Criminals and tugitives must
rise early to down Tobias Thornton,
Terrells shrewd and plucky sheriff.
Quite a funny and clever arrest
was made by him few nights AGO,
1t seems that Henry Brannon,
an ebony>hued citizen living in the
Chickasawhatchee district, was
charged with carrying concealed
weapons, and had repeatedly elud>
ed the bailifls.
Determined to bag him, if pos
sible, Sheriff Thornton left the city
late one afternoon, and with him a
couple of bailiffs brave, bound for
the gentleman's stronghold. Reach.
ing the house, the bailiffs were sta
toned near by, while the Sheriff
went to the door, knocked and
was greeted with the sally, "who
you" He informed them, and
In return was told that Henry was
not in. But, during the conver>
sation. hearing noise as ifa trap
door had fallen, Sheriff Thornton
was inclined to doubt the veracity
OF the lady of house, and had one
of the bailiffs to step up and fire a
few blank cartridges under the
house.
This was a little more than the
wary Henry could stand, so he ven
tured out with a rapidity that
would have altogether prevented
his capture had he not run right
into the muzzle Of a gun.
The negro thought he was done
for and dropped on his knees and
begged for mercy.
He got mercy and Tobias got his
game.

a PAYMENT CALLED F0R.
By The cOiumbus Southern Track laying
Resus-sDfrector Hood Interviewed

L
Resus-.Dfrsctor Hood Interviewed
Major B. n. Hood attended 8
meeting of the directors OF the Co,
lumbus Southern railroad in Co
lumbus on last Saturday.
The directors have called for q
payment of 90 per cent. from the
subscribers, and the notice may be
seen in the advertising columns Of
to-day's NEWS.
When approached by The NEWS
man Major Hood was running over
with railroad talk, and was in the
highest of spirits over the outlook.
'Yes, sir" said he, "the Colum.
bus Southern is on a boom, and is
going to be finished right away.
Track laying has begun in earnest,
and over two miles OF rails have
been put down at the Columbus end
of the line. All Of the iron need>
ed for rails, bridges, etc., has been
bought and a shipment was expect.
ed to reach Columbus on Monday
morning. The rails that have been
laid were borrowed from the Cen.
trail. They have quit the fight
against our road and now seem
perfectly friendly.
1.-THE meeting in Columbus was
very satisfactory. and no one ques-
tions the early completion of the
whole line, The quicker all of our
people come to the same conclusion
and insugurate the enterprises
that are being held back, waiting
Tor the completion of the road, the
better will it be for themselves and
the CITY,"
"What increase do you think the
road will make in the value of prop
erty in the city, MajorH"
Increase? Why it will make
none as far as what ! have got is
concerned. l have always been so
fully satisfied that the road would
be built that long ago placed the
value on 10Y property accordingly.
Of course there are a few yet in
doubt who, when the road is finish>
ed, will expect at least rs per cent.
more than they would take at pres
ent, and l believe they will get it.
1t will makes tremendous difference
in the pulse of the real estate mar
ket.
San influx of immigration will
also begin. greater than ever
before. This will bring about
such a demand Tor real estate and
houses for rent as was never before
known In Dawson, and think some
of our moneyed men are acting very
wisely in making preparations for
this in time. You see the increase
in our population since work was
begun OH the road. Wait and see
the difference when tits completed.
Il am also prepared to say that
there is a probability of Dawson
securing another line, a road
from Dawson to Quincy, Fla, and
as there seems to be plenty of mon-
ey at the back of the project l am
inclined TO think ii will be built.
If it does, it will give us additional
Importance and will put US on an
equal footing with any town in
this section of the State. ] am
strong believer in Dawson's future.
We are booming, and no mistake"
If there is anybody in Dawson
who does not believe in the future
of our city, let him stand up. He
is SO small that if he does not stand
up he will not be noticed.
