A Po0uidr Firm.

That is what everybody says of
those enterprising and prosperous
young merchants, Davis q Dozier.
Comm encing business just a little
over two years ago, they have been
wonderfully successful and have
achieved a reputation that might
be enviad by any one.
They propose to continue on in
the interest of the people, keeping
prices at living figures and selling
good goods at the smallest living
profit. Read their advertisement
in this issue.

Outsiders viii Take OIe Third of the
Stock if Dawson win the Baiancs.
Why will not our people awake
on tie subject of a cotton com
! press?
We have talked and written on
this subject until it seems that
everybody must be as tired of it as
the writer.
Albany and Americas both have
them, and in consequence, these
markets are always better than the
Dawson market, and their receipts
10000 to Dawson's 10000 bales.
Before long the Columbus
Southern road will be running by
us, and while freight rates will
thereby be materially lessened, vet
Albany and Americas can continue
their inroads in our territory and
still buy the cotton that naturally
belongs to us. These are unpieas>
ant truths, but the situation de-
mands that they be told, and If our
merchants and business men do not
like i, let them arouse to the sitlss
talon and by enterprise and energy
change these facts, They eau do
it if they will, butt they sit supine-
ly by and depend upon a new rail-
rold to build up the town, without
inside aid and enterprise, Dawson
will be further behind her enter
prising neighbors ten years from
now than she is at present.
Our great and pressing need
now is a cotton compress, and we
must have it, no matter what tie
cost. We have been told that ar
outside company stands ready to
take one--third of lhe stock wheneve
er Dawson's citizens take the other
two,thirds. This fact of itself
shows the faith of the outside world
in our future, and surely our own
people will not be behind outsiders
in their confidence in the future of
Dawson
Let some of our progressive cit>
zens take hold of this with a vim
and we guarantee the compress will
come. Then instead of 10000
bales annually, our receipts will go
up to 20, 900 in one season.
We must have a compress.
