CITIZENS MEETING .
An Effort TO Secure Reduction IN Freiqhf
Rates.
first bale OF new cotton.

Rates.
AT meeting of our citizens,
held at the court house on last
Saturday, with N. w. D0zier
chairman and E. l.. Rainey Sec
rotary, tor the purpose OF securing
cheaper freight rates for Dawson,
the following resolution was passed
unanimously:
That a committee of three, con-
sistiug of A. j. Carver, @. b.
Stevens and B. II. Hood. be ap
pointed to confer with the Hon.
r. r. Commissioners OF Georgia,
also the Railway craftsmanship As
ISOLATION, with headquarters in
Atlanta, for the purpose OF asking
and securing, it possible, rate of
freight equal TO that enjoyed by
our sister cities of Americas, Al
bany. Columbus and EutauIa, &C.
cording to distance from markets
and ports.
We see no reason why Dawson
should not receive as low freight
rates as either of the places named
in the above resolution. The
freight rate from these places is
about 80 cents on cotton and 81 .09
on merchandise. From Dawson it
is Al cent on cotton and $1.3l on
merchandise. These rates are
simply extOrtionate, and we trust
that this committee will succeed
in securing much lower rate, and
We believe they will. The bust,
ness this season is going to demand
it. The freight on cotton alone
from this point this season will
be, at the present rate, in the
neighborhood OF 100000. This
alone should guarantee a much
cheaper rate.
The committee will leave to-day
for Atlanta to wait on the railroad
commissioners.

TERRELL's FIRST BALE.
Two Bales Received Last Week.
Prices Paid.


Dawson received her first bale
of cotton of the new crop on last
Friday. the first of August. 1t
was grown by Mr.. A. T. Wall, of
the third district, and was about
Sc zen days behind the first bale
received here last year.
1t weighed $40 pounds, was
stored at Melton Bros. q Thorn
tons warehouse, vas classed low
middling and was bought by Mel
ton Bros for 500 fifteen cents per
pound. 1t was shipped the next
day to Columbus.
The second bale was brought in
Saturday morning by Mr.. Green
Bowen, also of the third district.
1t was stored at j. r. Mercer u
Co.'S. warehouse, was classed as
low middling and was sold to Mr..
j. +. Mercer for sixteen cents a
pound.
A number of bales could have
been seat in several days before
had the farmers taken the trouble
to pick out the cotton as it opened.
Quantities of it are now open in
some OF the fields awaiting the
pickers and in a few days it will
begin rolling in freely.
A prominent cotton buyer tells
the News that it is his opinion
that the forthcoming season will be
the liveliest that Dawson has
known in many years. Quite a
number of the leading buyers of
Columbus, Macon and Brunswick
have announced their int ton o.!
being here, and competition be-
tween these and the local buyers
will be very spirited.
From which it will be seaA that
tho wise farmer will contiaue TO
bring his cotton here as of yore,
where the best prices are ,lways
paid.

The Cross Roads.

The citizens of this little hamlet
are enjoying season of unalloyed
happiness and prosperity unex
ceIled in its history. Crops are
fine and its prospects generally
are very bright. Messrs. Brim
Bros. and the Alliance are building
store houses, and the Alliance have
put up a public gin. We are
glad to note the prosperity of one
of Terrell's most thrifty sections.

as to its being accidental. Wis

been unable to get his claim rec.
ognized. However, assisted by
pension attorney at the capitol, he
has ban pegging away, and sue
cess has finally crowned their ef-

Hunter was dischar 5ed in 1867,
and the amount that he will receive
from the government will reach
very close to $4,000, which has
been piling up since the day of his
discharge.
The Albany News last Saturday

feeling good about something.

that the amount he was reported

terest which has accrued, the
amount Which be will receive will
be in the neighborhood OF $40, 900.
AS he took his departure he lett
word for the crew to draw on him
for any small amounts they might
need, aud the reflection of the
smile that stole over his grizzIed
