Ladies Festival.

Elaborate preparations are being made
by the ladies of the Methodist church for
their fair and festival, which will be
open next Thursday and Friday night.
The ladies are exelting themselves to
make it one of the most attractive affairs
the kind ever given in Dawson. and thew
should have the unstinted encourage
ment of everybody.
1t is for good cause, and the money
you may spend in it could not be put to
better purpose. 1t is useless for the
NEWS to enlarge upon the Importance of
building the new churches contemplated
in Dawson. Our citizens are thoroughly
enlisted in the work, and with their ac-
customed liberality and union of deter
mination they are prepared to heartily
enter into every movement for its ac-
complishment. This spirit was well
demonstrated by the large audience of
all denominations which greeted Betsy
Hamilton few nights ago.
W. '"hiIoC dOIelhpI 10 enumefate or
describe the attractions of this festival.
1t will be filled with the various things
which only the artistic taste and fanciful
Imagination of fair woman can devise.
This is enough said
1t only remains for everybody to turn
out, see for themselves, enjoy the occa-
sion and feel that they have contributed
to good cause
Let nobody fail to be there
Go yourself
And influence your friends

HE Intensive SyStem.

From recent expressions from our
farmers in different sections of the coun-
ty we are satisfied that there will be
greater concentration in cultivating
Terrell farms next year than ever before,
The intensive system will be the plan,
and increased production and decreased
area viii be 5he special means of reduc-
ing the cost of farming. This method
will surely prove beneficial, and when
the entire needs of the farm are produced
on the farm, together with more money
from a smaller area, our farmers will be
Independent of all others, and masters
OF the labor question.

The city council of 1890 held its last
regular meeting Monday night. There
was but little business and the session
was short.
The clerk was instructed not to Ii
cense in the future any travelling auc-
tioneer or other person whose business
would conflict with the interests of our
home merchants.
This morning at 10 o'clock the finance
cial committee and city tax assessors
will meet parties who have complaints
to make about the assessment of their
property at city hall and final adjust

A Fortunate Discovery.

Major B. H. Hood was riding along
the road near Laing & Princes saw mill
Sunday afternoon, when he discovered
some plank burning within ten feet of
the large lumber pile. In few minutes
longer, it would have caught and but for
the Majors timely appearance the entire
mill would doubtless have been CON
sumed,

ROCKING A TRAIN.
Narrow Escape of asPaSsenger on the
Columbus Southern,

Columbus Southern.
As the passenger train on the Column
bus Southern was going through Mer-
cerville last Thursday night, Some van
dial threw a rock into it,
The train was moving at pretty live
ly rate of speed, and as the rock crashed
through the window it startled the pas
sengerS an createdsa lively sensation for
the moment
A gentleman sitting on the seat where
it entered had a narrow escape from Sc
rious- injury, the rock passing through
his whiskers and giving him lively
fright. As it happened no damage was
done but the SCATTERING of the window,
the train being pretty well filled with
passengers, who were preserved from
harm by that fortunate providence which
sometimes protects against such acts of
violence.
That an net of this kind should occur
in such a city rs Dawson is an inexcusa-
BILE shame, and we are surprised to know
that such a person lives here. However,
it is learned that several attempts of the
kind have been made near the same
place before, though without effect.
1t seems chat an attempt has also been
made to wreck the train out there by
some one. Early one morning last week,
as Mr.. Geo. V. Pace was going out to his
mill, he discovered cross-tie lying on
the track, which had evidently been
placed there with miscellaneous intent.
The News is forced,to believe it can
only be some recklessly inclined boy,
who is not aware of the real nature of
his crime.
In the meantime, the case will be care
fully watched, and if the guilty party can
be unprecedented he will be dealt with as
he deserves.
