DAWSON rs SEEN FROM THE CABS.
Tine News RGn Takes Trip and Views
the City From Moring Train--Ex-
DresSio1s of Pnssenoere Etc

Pressions of Passengers, Etc.
Having business in Bronwood
last week News reporter skirm>
ished around among his old clothes,
scared up his pass and boarded the
east bound passenger.
On our return we were forcibly
struck by the progressive appear
ance oftour city as seen fr,m the
moving ears, as well as by the ex-
pressions of passengers about boom
ing Dawson.
Just as the train crosses the ND
per culvert the city begins to loom
up in all its loveliness. In every
direction can be seen scores of neat
new residences just completed or
being erected, and hundreds upon
hundreds of others that have lost
their new appearar &c, but all noti-
eeabiy inhabited by thrifty and
progressive people.
Standing on the rear platform
of the car and watching these hous-
es as they fit by, reaching as they
do for over mile up and down
the road and as far as the eye can
reach on either side, ore begins to
realize that he is passing through a
very pOpulous suburb of very
progressive city.
Passing the buildings of the
Dawson Manufacturing Company
and the Dawson Oil Co., a stran-
ger is surprised at their vastness,
and expects city Of ten or fifteen
thousand people to burst in view,
and to roll into handsome depot
and be turned over to the mercies
of a bowling mob of porters. But
the train stops. he looks out, he
sees a dilapidated old building
which some one informs him is the
bona fde depot and he faints-a
victim Of uniustifiable cruelty for
which the central railroad is re-,
sponsible.
While seated in the cars the re-
porter heard such expressions as
these concerning Dawson:
"This is the coming town of
Southwest Georgia"
81 sell more goods to better mer>
chants here than any town in the
state"
GIVE been coming here for ten
years and this town has made more
progress in the last two years than
any town | know of.
"LoOk at The humber of new
buildings going up in this town."
"Look at that depot"
1t is an actual fact that these res
mar ks were made by passengers on
the train and made note of by us.
The last remark was made by a
prominent doctor of a neighboring
city.
From the depot (?) to the city
can be seen a perfect marvel of
building throughout the town.
Counting as far as we could see the
houses that have just been built or
in course of erection numbered
over half a hundred. In fact we
noticed an air of improvement
about almost everything we saw.
No one could fail to notice the
signs of progress on every hand.
The town presents a charming
appearance with her broad streets,
beautiful homes and splendid bust,
ness houses, and above al! her air
OF progress, refinement and culture
puts her in the first rank with the
rising towns of Georgia.
