Complimentary.

Last Monday evening, at the
lovely residence of Mr.. and Mrs,
j. H. Jossey, one of the most de-
light.ul entertainments of the sea-
season was given, complimentary
to Misses Beulah and Blanche
Roberts, of Dawson. The spacious
parlor and hall were filled with the
society folks of Smithville, gather
ed to do homage to the fair bene>
fciaries of the evening. Possessed
of most vivacious and attractive
manners, they have won hosts OF
friends and admirers in this city,
and their departure to-day will be
a source of much regret.
At about 10 o'clock refresh>
ments we're served. The collation.
spread was a most sumptuous one,
and the pleasure derived wa2 too
fully illustrated to need further
comment. Iu the CLEAN OF beau
full lights, the rich colOrs and
sparkling jewels of the fair ladies
were quite 2azzingly effective. 1t
was gathering of beauty, brilN
liancy and grace: the fair, sweet
side OF hie--of consequent ease, in
word, nepenthe and enjoyment.

Real estate is active in Dawson.
But there is a marked absence of
anything like excitement in the
market.
A city does not stand still. 1t
goes either bach ward or forward.
There is certainly no reason to be.
lieve that Dawson can retrograde.
Hence it must increase in impor-
lance. 'Che probable rapidity Of
growth can best be Judged by the
past. In ten years Dawson ha;
doubled its population, doubled its
transportation facilities, doubled it,
banking capital and doubled it'
general trade: and in each OF The
ten years the growth has beer
greater than during the preceding
year,
by the close ofthe next decade
it will have again doubled its popu
lation and trade,

The Political Field.

Hon. F. G. dubignon, late
Pre- sident of the Senate, who is a
close politician observer, after look.
ing over the political field in Geor-
gla, predicts the election OF North>
ern for Governor. He thinks Crisp,
Blount, Stewart, Turner and
Clements will be returned to Com
gress without opposition unless
the Alliance organization concludes
to put candidates in the field in all
of the districts. He believes that
Colley is slightly the favorite in the
Eighth district, though the issue
between him and Lawson is uncer-
tain. In the Ninth the situation is
so uncertain that no guess can be
made as to the result. Mr.. du-
BignOn predicts that the lease OF
the State road under under the act
will fail.

Terrell COunty's Roads.

Good roads are good investments.
1t is the boast of many of the
more pOpulous counties of Ken
lucky that their roads are best in
the country, and this boast is JUS
tifiable: for, thanks to the wisdom
and zeal of the late Rev. DR..
Breckenridge, there are no better
dirt highways to be found in any
agricultural districts. What is
more, the people whom he induced
to build them, found that money
spent in putting their highways in
good condition and in keeping
them up to the standard was pro-
ftably invested. 1t increased the
value OF their real estate, and it
made a decided saving in the cur
rent annual expenses Of all who
frequently use them.

about fifteen years old, named

ton will be sent to Judge Query

Growing All the Time.

The large growth of Dawson has
been exceedingly gratifying to its
citizens and rather surprising to
the croakers. One has only to 90
through the city and inspect its
streets to find what a general im-
prOvement is being made to our
architecture. The past ten years
have wrought a wonderful change.
Our business sections are full of
new structures. and many hand
some residences have beer erected
and occupied,
But it is not in the city alone
that. this Improvement is going on.
All around Dawson new structures
are being built, new industries are
being started. 1t has always been
a matter of surprise that our sur>
rounding territory has not been
more FULLY developed. In every
direction new enterprises are being
started, and the signs of new era
are manifest. 1t is not the prog
ress Of temporary bComs, but a
steady, increasing development,
substantial and permanent.
AL this is valuaple to Dawson
as q city. The prosperity of its
surrounding territory means more
prosperity for its interests.
