THIS AND That.

The mule trade in Dawson continuous
good, and the class of stock now brought
here is much better than the average.
For this the traders who are supplying
the demand are entitled to credit. But.
after all, the necessity which compels
our farmers to replenish their stock so
often is fearful drain upon the finances
OF the country. Every year thousands
upon thousands of hard earned dollars
are sent to the west to pay for mules and
horses which could be raised just as well
at home.

LaGrippe is still with us. It hangs ON
toits suffering victims with placid and ex-
asperating renacity, occasionally VARYING
the treatment by shamefully deluding the
patient with the belief that he has recOy-
cred, and then suddenly tumbling him
into bed with a raging fever, binding
headache and ademOralized temper. Grin
and religion don't work well together in
some instances.
We are informed that the acreage in
small grain is much smaller in tbis sec
ton this season than usual. This is dis
oouraging, but the evil effects of such
unwise farming may yet be avoided to
considerable extent by sowing large areas
OF spring oats. If perchance the cotton
crop this year should prove failure,
the farmers will lose much of the adj
vantage they gained in tho last two years
by hard labor and rigid economy,
There are at least two enterprises
which Dawson must inaugurate during
the present year, We must have cot
ton factory to spin some of the big cot
ton crop that will be made in the county
this year, and we must get the extension
of the Columbus Southern railroad from
this point These enterprises are entire
ly feasible, and are essential To the prop-
ress and prosperity of the city and coun-
ty.
To the present time we have had but
little winter weather. Hyacinths and
violets in abundance, and even roses
have blossomed and hourshed in the
open air. Such winters may be unnatur-
al and productive of sickness, but thew
are delightfully."- agreeable. Wiseacres
predict, however, that the cold weather
is yet to come, and that Winter will per-
form some exasperating antics in the lap
of Spring.

paths intersect, and are from two TO three miles

assured of food, and the roads improved.
Sometimes these forest villages were planted

that the tribe was more than usually powerful;
that it was well established: that the chief

than half a mile.
The huts in every pigmy camp were Of n

more than three feet high and were placed at

other, which frOnted the bush, for escape.
