Bright Crop Prospects.

Reports from all parts of our
own county, and from all the
counties contiguous TO Dawson
show the crop outlook to be ulus.
ually bright
The rains Cor the past week have
rendered an enormous corn crop a
certainty and the farmer is happy
over the knowledge that his barns
will be full.
The prospects for a big cotton
crop are very favorable at this time.
In some sections too much rain has
fallen, AMI fears that the plants
may shed large part of their
fruit are entertained. While the
outlook is bright. the cotton crop
is now at that stage when either Il
wet or Very dry spell will do it Sc
rlous injury.

The ReHKnI.

The recent prOtracted meeting
which has been going on tor tn
last three weeks under the auspi-
ces of the Metho list church, closed
last night. Some forty persons
united with the church, and
much good has been done 10 the
caus OF religion. Without being
unduly sentimental, memory will
often gather around the "Old
Gospel Tent" with its hallowcd
influences of love and song, where
many m lde their first start in the
divine l,te, and recollection, too,
will be of the precious words that
tell from the lips OF the ministers
of the words that will niger
long in the sweetest memories OF
the past. Dawson is better to-day
from Tho meelint that was held.

EnterprIslng Warehousemen.

j. r. Mercer IL 90. are going
to make things lively for their
competitors in the warehouse busi>
ness this season, They have had
printed and sent cut large CIR
cular, giving four very good and
correct reasons why Dawson
is going to be che best cotton
market in Southwest Georgia. "
They are
1st. Her enterprising citizens
have erected the finest cotton CON-
press in this sectiol of the state.
2nd. The Southwestern and Col
umbus Southern railroads are com.
pe:irg lines, and have made great
reductions in freight rates.
Ord. We have direct railroad
connection with two OF the best
ports in the SOUTH Brunswick and
Savannnh-which enables buyers
here to ship cotton direct to the
foreign markets.
4th. The advantages that our
market is offering to planters this
season will double the cotton re-
eeipts of any previous year, and
will largely increase The number,
o. buyers, making competition
sharper.
They also give reasons as to
why their warehouse will be a good
place for farmers tn store their
cotton. OIe of their induce mentS
is to weight cotton free OF charge to
the planter. Their increase in re-
ceipts since beginning business in
1880 has been very near 5000
bales in one year.

Tint R0YeOtt Idea.

A representative of the News
interviewed a number OF represent
tatiVe business men of Dawson on
the proposed commercial boycott
OF the Nerth should the force bill
pass,
These ~en, who represent all
class IS of Dawsou's trade, were
practically unanimous in their op.
position to the boycott.
They considered it not only i'm.
practicable, nonsensical AMI pre-
posterous, hut thought that the
very dis ,ussion CT such thing was
prejudicial to the South's interests,
especially at this time.

A cool MATTER,
In Which Dawson Is Interested.

In Which Dawson Is Interested.
Although the supply is now
plentiful, the people of Dawson
have been subjected to a great deal
of inconvenience IF not actual
suffering in some cases for want
of ice this summer.
This was not the fault of the
dealers in Dawson. They
have done the best they could un-
. der the circumstances Cities that
have ice factories of their own
have not been able to get as much
as they wanted, and the supply is
still short.
The purpose of this writing is to
suggest and to urge the idea of
putting up an ice factory in Daw>
son. We believe it would pay.
Some of our business men who
have money to invest should in
vestigate the matter. We hope
they will do so in time for mkt
season.
We believe that considerable ice
could he sold from Dawson to oth-
er towns Why should not the
subject he looked into?

1T LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
But the COrOner'S jury says 1t Was
Caused By the Train.


Caused BY the Train.
Charlie Brown, colored man
from the country, was found dead
just below the Central depot Sat>
urday morning, near the railroad
track.
1t was first supposed that he had
been run over by the 4 o'clock
passenger train going west, bnt at
present it is very evident that there
was foul play, and that Brown
came to his death at the hands of
unknown parties, who put him
near the track to evade suspicion
and to cover their crime, making it
appear as if he was run over by
the train.
When the New s reporter reached
the scene, before the body was
moved, Brown was lying with his
head between the cr0ssties on the
outside of the track in a perfectly
straight position. He had one
severe cut in the back of the head
and two just above the fore head.
The wound in the back OF the head
was the one that produced death,
being deep enough to allow
the brains to run from the head.
His other two wounds we're slight.
His body was warm at Ell, ht
O'Clock. Parties living near by say
they hear,l him hollow, but this
must be mistake, as the wound
could but produce instant death.
He had bottle OF whisky, partly
empti, d, III his pocket.
Browns mother was white
woman and his father negro.
He was buried at the expense of
the county.
