THE NEW COURTHOUSE,
As Viewed from the Standpoint Of
the Opposition.

| SPNsS @iANs AOUOs
DEAR News:
Will you give us
a little space in your valuable and
newsy paper tor short letter?
We will not kick, even if you
criticise it, provided you will let
us come again.
We hear much of late about a
new court house for Dawson. Who
wants itH Who would it benefit
outside of the cityY Would the
building OF a fine S35, 900 court
house in that place enhance the
velue Of lands or produce, five, ten
or fifteen miles from the cityH We
think not.
The best citizens of our county
would have to pay the bulk OF the
cost OF said court house many OF
whom have no use for a court house
Of any sort. All the lawyers and
and the county officers, who reside
in Dawson, as tar as we have been
able to ascertain, together with
limited number of the citizens of
your city, are in favor OF Lew.
costly courthouse.
What's the matter with the
court house we have? Some of the
gentlemen who want a costly one
say ITS old, too small for the
increase OF our population, or that
it helps the looks OF your growing
city," Let's look the matter over.
1t it is old it is paid for. 1t is
large enough tor those who hav,
business in its sAcred(O precincts.
In it's helping the looks OF the
city is no benefit to we citizens in
the country. We believe fully in
progress in the rig hit direction. We
believe in Improvements where al
the citizens, aud especially the tax
payers are benefited.
There might be other improve.
ments of far more importance than
a fine, costly court house, among |
which are good roads from the |
limits OF the city in all directions. |
Our roads ere generally in a
miserable condition, especially in
wet weather, and it any OF them
ever had mile post on them hey |
are either eHaced or entirely gone. |
Good roads would not only BEN
eft we country people, but the |
citizens Of beautiful Dawson as
well. Then, Mr.. Editor, another
improvement we would respectful,
ly call the attention of all our cite
zens To is electric lights for our
county site.
Go to the Central's der OF, or to the
Columbus Southern depot foot
on adark night and you'll be in the
biggest kind of luck if you don't
tai in ditch, stumble Into ho e
or over a stump, step of a caue ay
or ruE against the fence. Our
people from the country have 10
leave the town before night, or
stay over till morning as there is
too much risk of getting out of the
place after night fall on account OF
the poor lights in the suburbs
More light citizens, more light.
In conclusion, we'll state that
we are opposed to issuing bonds
for a costly court house, bat in
favor of issuing bonds for goo I
roads for the county site. IT we
eau legally issue bonds for court
house, we can with equal propriety
issue bonds for roads, and electric
lights, and they will not cost as
much as a fine coult house. There
are other Improvements of greater
Importance to our people which we
will mention In our next.
Very Respectfully,
ADA ADAIR.
P. S.-Lets advocate such ms
provements as will benefit all tax
payers, ladies as we'll as men,in our
curious county of Terrell.

When DR.. Watson returned after send

the house empty and the door locked, the
shutters drawn and everything deserted
The reader will ask how he knew that ev-

locked and he could not get in, but we
must remember that he was in the hypno-

other people might consider difficult Many
a time as boy he had hypnotized IL water

luscious fruit.

taken his whole household, and with light
baggage had fled to the depot He followed
rapidly, and fortunately caught up with
the carriage containing the party, for they
were 'bridged," and had been for nearly
an hour He tried to hypnotic Mr.. Craw-
ford, but the old man had shrewdly had
himself vaccinated, and so he was safe
There was nothing for the doctor to dc
but to follow the procession. for Crawford
had evidently heard that his daughter was
in California, and had resolved to go tc
her.

the old man, but without avail. He ther

She was dressed in an elaborate light silk
gown, totally inappropriate for travelling,
and over dainty little theatre bonnet was
pinned heavy dark veil that completely
covered her face
Beneath the veil was the tear stained
countenance of Lena Henshall, who had
been aroused by the tragic expression of
Edna Crawford's face into thinking there
was perhaps some one else as unhappy rs
herself
Two hours before, when Henry Henshall
left his young wife for the pursuit of his
fascinating ideal, Lena had wandered aim
lessly up and down her little parlor, a prey
to bitter meditations. Sick at heart from
brooding over her husbands neglect and
thoughts of lonely and loveless future.
she called Mrs. Smith and announced her
intention of passing the evening at the
theatre. At the sight of the girls tear
stained face Mrs. Smith wisely held her
tongue, but the cynical smile that played
about her thin lips caused young Mrs.
Henshall to feel for her trusted companion
a sudden hot dislike.
When Mrs. Smith left to make some
preparation for accompanying her, Lena
threw herself on the bed in paroxysm Of
bitter weeping. Her thoughts turned
longingly toward her father, to whom she
had always gone for advice and sympathy,
and with these thoughts came the sudden
determination to go to him without delay.

There comes Il crisis in the lives of most
people when sorrows crowd so thick and
fast that there is a dreary satisfaction
in the thought that things cannot be
much worse"
So felt Edna Crawford, sitting with
bowed head and shaken nerves, on the
train that is bearing her onward to the
bedside of her dying father. She bitterly
regrets ever having left him, and torGGres
herself with wild pictures of the sufferings
LIE may have endured at the INSCRIPTIONS
hands of Dr. Watson
For this man, so inextricably entangled
with the sorrow and disgrace that are con-
nected with her past life, she feels deep
and relentless loathing. 1t was through
his prosecutions she was forced to leave
her fathers side, and remembering this,
her young face wears an expression of such
intense hatred that it attracts the atten-
ton of the lady occupying the opposite
chair
This lady had quietly entered the car by
one door as Henry Henshall, powerless in
the grasp of Detective Burns. was elected
through the other.

he did valiantly.
Burns, although powerful man, knew
little of the science of boxing, so his
lighter antagonist pummeled him well
with three or four straight from the
shoulder before he get a chance to close
with him and overpower him.
Just then Opper, hot and indignant,
piled through the crowd pell NELL, shout
ing:
"Hold himl Hold the scoundrell Arrest
himl'
| During the excitement the train rolled
away and the girl was gone alone. with no
one of the three men, all so anxiously de-
sirous of aiding her, near her.
Burns was savage. To several policemen
who quickly gathered he displayed his
badge, and then, summoning cab and &C
companied by Opper, he took Henshall a
prisoner to police headquarters.
! There Opper told the chief that the paint
F! er was a scoundrel who had been pursuing
and annoying his star.
The charge was so ridiculous that Hen
shall laughed aloud.
Then, in bitter tones, he turned to Opper
and said: you fool, if you had only come
20 me like man would have cleared up
your unjust suspicious"
He then explained the case in FULL claim
ing only a chivalreus interest in the girl.
! He had no little trouble in proving the
truth Of his statement, but he finally did
with the assistance of Mrs. Smith.
Mutual explanations ensued, and he and
Burns shook hands and were friends, fight
ing for the same cause.
Il start for Chicago tonight" said Hen
shall, careless of everything

By the midnight train Burns and Hen
shall were speeding toward Chicago, deter

of their power.

He Jumped aboard and rushed hastily
through the cars.
At last his heart gave great jump and
then nearly stopped beating.
He saw her in forward car, her shapely
head resting in Il pathetic way on one little
gloved hand
Then indeed Henshall lost his reason, and
knew that the woman before him was the
woman he truly loved.
Forgetful alike of prudence and common
sense be walked rapidly toward him and
laid his hand on her shoulder.
1 Pardon me. Miss Neville. II you knew
how much want to talk to you. how
much have to say to you'll know you are
in dangerl''
The last word he whispered, as there
were others about.
The girl could not see his face distinctly.
She feared all strangers, so she arose and
said icily: please go away. do not know
you, SIR
She had no need to say any more.
Burns had been just little neglectful or
else HenshaIl never would have got Is near
her as he had. But the big detective de-
ternined to atone for his neglect.
He applied fist, boot and his magnificent
strength to the painters anatomy, and
rushed him through the car like whirl-
wind, and out on the platform.
Henshall was not IL coward.
Twice had he been baffied by this burly
fellow and now he determined to fight
him.
