DAWS0V'S COTTON MARKET.
The Prices for The Great stnnla Rnnn,inn

The Frees for the Great Staple Booming.
The cotton market here has
opened up very briskIy, and buy
] ers are keen for all cotton as soon
as 1t is put on the board. Daw,
son presents larger number of
buyers this season than ever be-
fore, and as they are exporters
and consigu their cotton direct to
Liverpool, they are giving better
prices than ever before.
The prices paid ter the past sev>
eral days have been good, ranging
from l09 to II cents, which great,
~ pleases the farmers marketing
here. Dawson is one OF the best
interior markets in the state, and
it is going to remain so through
this season, and the farmers tor
many miles around are going to
consult their interests by market
lng ,heir cotton here.
There is every reason to jus 'fy
US in saying to the farmers within
a radius of fifty miles, that it will
pay them to bring their cotton to
Dawson. The very low rates
charged for handling it in this city
is an iuducement, and they will
get about as much for it as they
could at the seap9rts.
This is no blow, but the words
Of soberness and truth
Bring your cotton to Dawson,
get good price for itand 90 home

4 STREET CAR LINE.
1t Has Been Suggested BY Some of Or
Most EhterpTsing Men, ard we May
Get H.

The question of a street ear line
for our growing little city has been
suggested BY several Of our citizens,
aud we beiieye a stock company
will be organized to build the
road with very little trouble.
Dawson's business streets, it will
be remembered, are on side of the
town, while vast number of her
residences are quite a mile east.
Her growing Importance will soon
necessitate the building ola street
railroad for the accommodation of
her business men.
We think a line could be very
profitably operated, run1iaS trom
the depot to Lee street, down Lee
to East Boundary, from thence to
College and back to Main. This
would cost very little to build, not
over So, 900 at the outside. Cans
not orr citizens take the whole OF
this stock and do something that
would be OF great convenience and
speak we'll for the city?

MEMORIAL SERVICES
At tie Methodist Church Sgnday

- 49, "SN'SN'SN Ns'Sf VI CSHtGys
Probably one of the most solemn
services ever held in the Metho.
dist church in this place was on last
Sunday. 1t was q day set aside by
the church to pay suitable tribute
to one of their oldest and most be.
loved members. DIR. G. A. Cheats
ham. who died on August 9Th, the
particulars of which sad death our
readers Rre familiar.
The services were conducted by
Rev. j. w. Weston. During the
service number members arose
and expressed their sorrow at los
ing so useful a member of the
church and such an upright citizen.
His pew was draped in mourning.
The following are the resolutions
read and adopted by the church:
Our whole community is in
mourning. Death has come into
our midst and taken away from
Us the familiar form of the honor
ed man Of God, DR.. Clement A.
Cheatham.
So long was he identified with
every interest of Dawson so long
did he enter professionally the
homes ofour people; so tenderly
and lovingly did he successfully
practice his profession among us,
and SO devoted was his religious
lite, that there is scarcely one
among us who is not personally
bereaved.
/ his death the Methodist
church Of Dawson, of which he
was so long a member, and SO long
leading official member, is espe
cially bereayed, he being at the
time Of his death the Secretary of
the Board OF Stewards and trls.
tee Of the church. His devotion
to God and to Church could not
be doubted by any one.
His christian lie was of no UNI
certain character. He went in
and out among us adjoining the
doctrines OF Christ, and with a
pure and geutle life, cheerful
omission to God ard His vi
in all things, and a yearning de-
sire and determined effort for the
prosperity OF Zion.
Wherefore, the committee offer
the following resolutions which
theyrecommend iol adoption by the
church: Whearse, it has pleased
Almighty God to remove our dear
brother, DR.. {. A. Chatham,
from our midst, therefore belt
Resolred l st, That in his death
this whole community has been de-
prived Of a useful citizen and most
eminent and successful physician,
his family Of tender, loving,
W ,tchtul and devoted husband and
father, and the church of God
upon. earth Of one OF its most con-
secrated and exemplary members,
Reso'ced 2nl, Tat while we
lament his death we bow ia sub
r.i.ssion to the Divine win, know
ing that The ways Of the Lord are
right, and that we will endeavoi
by the help of God to emulate his
example, following him as he fol-
lowed Christ.
Reso,,'sd Bird, That pqge in
our church register be inscribed to
his memory that a copy Of these
resolutions be furnished to the
beleavid family, AMI that the city
newspapers be requested to publish
these proceedings.
