That Eiocutjonjst.

Last Thursday and Friday even>
ings Prot. Mike Hindsman Norris,
of the United States of America,
appeared before small but extreme
ly enthusiastic audiences at the
opera house in the role of an elo-
cutionist. He came full of grace
and elOcution, and it was suspected
that he contained surplus elocu-
ton even in the upper part of his
high silk hat. This rowing mass of
elocution and humor also came
plumed in sky blue pants and a
piebald swallow tail yellow and
blue coat.
The first night the gross proceeds
at the door amounted to nearly
four dollars, and the second night
to nearly three dollars.
The Professor protested to be a
finished elocutionist and character
delineator. He certainly finished
his career in that line in Dawson.
His selections were intended to be
humorous, principally, but the
small audience failed to recognize
any principal of humor in his rem
ditions. In nothing did he appear
as an elocutionist-that is, he was
not recognized as such.
In sober truth he professed much
more than he was able to perform,
and the discriminating people of
Dawson who were so unfortunate as
to comprise his audience will not
endorse him as an elocutionist or
anything else but a crank.

Mesars. Lowren & Orr.

These enterprising merchants
have q large advertisement in to-
days News ard we would respect
fully call attention to it.
They propose to keep abreast of
the lew priced houses Of southwest
Ga, and will not be undersold by
any one. They purchased, some
time ago, the immense Laing stock
OF goods and have now perhaps,
one OF the largest and best assorted
ST cks of general merch indise,
groceries, &c, to be found any
where. See for yourselfwhat they
have to say and give them call.

The Southwestern Georgia Security
Company.

This company has received its
charter and will organize tie first
of next month. 1t will begin OPP
erations with capital stock of
$4,000, with shares at 800 each.
Judge II. S Bell is now canvass
ing for subscriptions to the capital
stock, and we learn that he is meet
ing with success. The company
will negotiate loans at eight per
cent. interest, which will be much
cheaper rate for money than can
now be had here. Besides the
benefits in the way of cheap mon-
ey, it is thought that the company
will be OF value TO the town and to
our general citizenship. 1t will
enable people to borrow for build
ing and improvement purpose,
who would otherwise not be able to
borrow or build. 1t will produce
work for our tradesmen and labor>
ing men, and will thus put and
keep money in circulation.

4 NEW COURTHOUSE eOa zzassLL
A Subject that Should Interest Eysry Cjti-
zen CT this cogfsy.

A Subject that Should Interest Every cih-
zen Of this County.
One of the most important sub
jects That should engage the atten~
ton of the people Of Terrell county,
and especially the next grand jury,
is the building of new court
house.
1t is becoming necessity, and
if the matter does hot receive the
careful consideration of our next
grand jury, that body will not DO
its duty.
There is no reason why a county
as prosperous, as wealthy and az
far advanced in intelligence as
Terrell should have for a figure
head such a structure as mars the
beauty of its county town, aid re-
fleets On its citizens.
We say reflects, for where care
lessness and utter unconcern for a
county's public buildings is dis,
played it cannot fail to be inter-
preted as a want of pride and en-
terprise in its people.
Terrell is to-day, perhaps, the
most prosperous county in the
state-her citizens, one and all, are
living well and making money, ana
it is high time they were awaking
from their !e5hargy.::
There has heretofore been con.
tinual cry OF "unable" and "wait
a WHILE" but now the time has
come for that to cease. If Terrell
county is not now able to begin the
erection OF a $4,000 court house
tomorrow morning, she never will
be. If there is a man in the com.
ty who objects to the building of a
court house for the reasons above
mentioned, he is simply not enter
prising enough to spend a few dol
lars TO promote the interests and
upbuilding Of his county, and is too
stingy to submit to a small increase
in taxation that he would never
feel and that would eventually
benefit him.
So long as we continue in the
cold fogy" style, just so long will
our position abroad be in conformi-
ty Herewith.
If we will wake up, meet the
! demands Of progress and display
that enterprise without which no
community can be successful, we
! will soon command the attention of
strangers, home>seekers, and capi>
talists, and rich and poor alike will
derive benefits.
Now, let's have a new court
house. If the county treasury
: cannot furnish the means. LET bonds
be issued and a slight increase in
taxes be made sufficient to meet
the bonds and do the work.
The most enterprising of our
citizens ale already ripe for it
they want 1t, they talk about it,
and if Terrell county hasn't new
court house by the first of next
January a large number of her
people will be sadly disappointed.
