of fertilizer often adds over 1000
pounds to the crop. Now. tell an in
quiring farmer where the 1900 pounds
of organized matter in the crop came
from? The crop is mainly common
air and water; but did the air over a
corn-ield change into a fair crop of
that cereal? Why change into wheat,
clover, grass or cotton? What is that
remarkable energy that uplifts from
80 to 60 bushels of new wheat every
year from an acre of wheat soil? In

marshy land is Froftahly cultivated

A wonderful discovery has been
made along the line of the Colum>

Gap and Gobbler's Mill which may
lead to fine results. The country
is very billy, the hills being sharp
peaks of very unequal height and
forming a kind of chain for a cons

convicts are now cutting through
these hills.
One of the cuts is about one
hundred and fifty feet long and
thsrty>five feet deep Within the
past lew days an amount of soil
resembling rich phosphate
has been turned out. The
soil contains skeletons of very
curiously formed animals totally
unknown in these parts at the
present day. Oyster beds have
been discovered, and sharks teeth
and the teeth of various other ami
mails have been found in abun>
dance.
The most curious discovery Of
all was two live green bullfrogs
taken from an excavation in the
solid rock. How they got there
or how long they have been
there no one can give any idea.

This is what was written of Her
man Bohnefeld, of Macon, on Mon.

a sad and bitter life.
When he fell early Sunday morn
ing, and his life blood moistened
the floor of a gambling den, where
sin in all ito horror had held high
carnival, there was enacted a
tragedy that was a travesty upon
law, order and morality.
Ere his limbs had lost the warmth
of life the sun of a bright Sabbath
day rose over the eastern hills and
shots its rays over the land, and
soon the pcals OF sacred bells called
the populace to the house of God,
their tones teaching the scrlptural
injunction "peace on earth, good

Compress
Another cotton season is upon
us. and Dawson is yet without that
much talked of and long needed
compress.
If the people of Dawson want a
compress, they themselves must set
on foot the movement and work
it up to Il successful termination.
Other towns near by us have built
congresses, and the enterprises
have not only paid in cents and
dollars, but an impetus has been
given all other trades and employ,
ments.
Business makes towns, and en-
terprises make business, and the
size and Importance of town vary
in proportion to the kind and va>
liety OF profitable enterprises.
The Inauguration and successful
establishment of any enterprise
which will draw business to a town
is just so much to the building up
of the town and the additional
productiveness Of every other i'll
vestment.
A live man here, a wide>awake
man yonder, a cotton compress
here and a cotton factory wonder
would strengthen the arm and ex<
pand the muscles Dawson, and
would soon cause our little city to
take on the ways of a large city,
and new lite would be infused
into every nook and corner.
Dawson is altogether dependent
upon the sort OF men who push
themselves forward in forming
public opinion and giving impetus
to any movement.
A new lie is springing up in
many of the towns of Georgia, and
there is no reason why Dawson
should not march abreast with
those that arc making the quick>
est and longest strides. Those
places only succeed who themselves
work for their success. There is
room yet for more large towns
needed in Georgia to keep up with
the advance of the times, and every
town which leaps into life and
causes the surrounding country to
acknowledge its growing vitality
takes away one or more chance
from such places as Dawson.
Let our people crawl out OF
their holes and build compress.
Let all of the business men work
together and pull together Tor it,
and while all of US will be bene-
fitted, the ores who take the lead
will win the glory and reap their
Just reward.
