BUILDINGS.

During last year Dawson built
more houses than any other
city in Southwest Georgia. 1t is
impossible to give a complete rec
ord of the various new buildings
that went up,as no buildingpermits
are required in the city. An in>
complete record shows that during
1889 about S25, 900 we've spent in
building dwellings and about
100000 in new business houses
and new enterprises, making a to-
tai Of S125,OOO.
THE PRESENT YEAR
Will show an amount spent for
buildings and Improvements great,
ly in excess of 1889. Among the
new building that will certainly be
erected this year are
A 100000 court house.
$4,000 Baptist church.
A $4,000 Methodist church.
| The Columbus Southern depot,
A new Central railroad depot.
Six new dwellings, for which
contracts have been let.
Eight handsome new stores, for
which contracts have been let.
Besides these, there are now in
course OF erection three busi-
ness houses. Several dwellings
have just been finished, and many
more will go up this summer Of
which there is now no record.
DawsOn's outlook is bright, and
is daily growing brighter.

WATERWORKs.

For some time the question Of
waterworks has been discussed with
much interest in the city. Every.
body wants waterworks, and before
many months shall have elapsed
Dawson will have frst-class wa
ter system. A letter has beeu re-
ceived here by Messrs. A J. Bald
win & Co., from a firm in Mis-
sisippi, stating that they would like
to put down system in the city.
This firm proposes to organize
company and take one-fourth of
the stock. The popular idea in
the city, however, seems to be for
the city to own the works and to
issue bonds to pay for their erec-
ton. The question will be sub
mitted to the people by the city
codncil soon.

What viii Be Done, Is Being Done
and Has Been DOne.- A Bright
Outlook.
Very few Dawsonites think their
town is standing still.
But it is growing even more
rapidly than the most sanguine
among them suppose.
The year just closed saw several
enterprises inaugurated in Dawson
that are greatly beneftting the city
and that stand as monuments Of
praise to the energy and pluck Of
our business men.
The year lust begun will be an
other fruitful one for rlucky and
thrifty Dawson, and its end will
show much greater achievements
than any preceding year.
Among the several enterprises
that are now claiming the attention
of our business men and outside
capitalists may be be mentioned
Gas works.
Waterworks.
A cotton compress.
The third railroad line.
GAS WORKS.
Gas in the city is rot at all inns
probable. Hart & Go. have re.
ceived letter from northern par
ties who want to put in gas works
here. The letter stated that a rep
resentative of these parties would
be in Dawson soon.

,yaeninr Trees of yyasLinyton.

In the forests of Washington and
British Columbia I have frequently
seen the trees dripping copiously during
clear, bright days, when no dew was
visible elsewhere. The dripping was SO
profuse that the ground underneath
the trees was almost saturated. The
phenomenon in this case was caused by
the remarkable condensi6g power of
the fir, and it occurred only when the
native humidity was near the dew
point. The dripping ceases after 10 or
II O'Clock in the morning but resumes
at or near sunset. In Hakluyt's ''Voy-
agesn there is an account Of Hawkins
second voyage to Africa and America,
written by "a gentleman who sailed with
Hawkins, in which we are told that in
the island of Ferro there is q weeping
tree which supplies all the men and
beasts of the island with drink, there
beirSno other available water supply.
Further, he states that in Guinea he
saw many weeping trees, but of a spe-
cies different from that at Ferro.-

4 Hermit in New York Hotel.

The census has brought out the fact
that a man can live in q New York
hotel for ten years and never speak to
any one or enter into any communities
ton with any one except as to the
commonplace affairs of eating and
drinking. This champion hermit lives
at the Grand Union hotel, and is
known as Bailey. That is all that is
known about him. There was state
ment printed that the census man had
skipped that hotel, and in writing TO
the supervisor to say that the story
was untrue, and that the enumeration,
with the assistance of the clerks, had
made every effort to secure the proper
information rs to all permanent resi-
dents in the house, the proprietor, Mr..
Garrison, added that there was one
man called Bailey who, to the best of
his knowledge, had not spoken a word
to living soul since he first came to
live at the hotel, ten years ago, and
from whom it had been impossible to
obtain any answers to the questions.
There has been a story told of another
similar hermit who used to live at
large down town hotel, but that one
did talk occasionally.-New York Sun.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The nude has noticeably diminished
in the Paris salon. 1t doesn't sell as it
used to sell, having declined in fashion
with the demi monde, and the leading
artists are now somewhat careful about
warning off by too startling displays the
steadily increasing number of young
women pupils of recognized respectable
ity.
Hypnotism has reached that point
that the French authorities think of
creating superior council of medical
jurisprudence at the ministry of justice,
to be composed of medical men and
magistrates, who will be required to
give opinions as to the responsibility OF
criminals in connection with the ques-
lions of suggestion and hypnotism and
of heredity.

Government weather.

There are occasional CLEANS of hu,
NOR even in the most serious articles
which newspapers ever publish. a re-
cent one on The Business Outlook"
contained the following paragraph:
Thanks to the Administrations want
of foresight the dry weather of the
past season hns become exceedingly
menacing to the agricultural interest"
The journal does not explain how the
government could have prevented a
drought in a portion Of the country,
or q wet season in another Perhaps it
thinks that the government ought to
have some influence with its own ba-
rometer.
This criticism brings to mind the not
unfamiliar criticism of q western farmer

Charming Away Disease.

A ludicrous custom is still followed
in Hndoo households of Bengal. The
last day of Falgoon, that fell on March
~, was observed in worsliping Ghantoo,
the god of itches and the diseases of
the skin which afflict the natives. Very
early on the morning of this day the
mistresses of the families, changing
their nocturnal attire, put a useless
black earthcn vessel outside the TIRES
hold of their back doors with hand
full of rice and masoor dial, four cowries
and piece of rag smeared with tune
ric. Wild flowers appearing in this
season-called Ghantoo fool-are of
cred in worship. The young boys of
the families stand in a semicircle be-
fore the mistresses with cudgels in their
hands.
When the conches are sounded by
the female worshipers, as the signal
of the poojah being over, the boys
break the vessel into atoms. The
mirthful children, in their anxiety to
strike the first blow, sometimes bruise
the fingers and hands of the matron.
The piece of rag is pressed over the
doors of the houses in zenana. In the
evening of the day the boys OF the
lower order of the villages sing the
songs of the occasion in chorus from
door to door for pie.-Bengal Letter.
