II IS SOLID PROGRESS.

The News invites the attention of
the country to the won lerful prog
rHEs OF Dawson during the year Just
closed. Her industrial pro ,ress has
been great, and every enterprise was
inau surate | by Dawson brains, push
ed by Dawson energy, ana founded
upon the solid rock of Dawson cash.
This city has organized no booms
to unload fancy stocks on the unwa,
ry, but her own people have put
their hard earned dollars into every,
thing that is here, because they be,
lieved them to begood il vestments, and
prom2tiye of the prosperity the city
Dawson has the faith that would re
move mountains, if they stood in the
way Of her progress, and she proposes
to 90 along in the even tenor OF her
conservative way, put up her own
money, and build great city.

A GHOST DANCE.

News comes from Kansas City to the
effect that the negroes there have CONS
menced to indulge in the ghost dance
because Messiah in the person of one
of their own race has told them of a
vision he had, and that in the course
of short time they would control the
country and the white man would
have to seek other pastures. 1t is
claimed that the dance is fast and flu,
rious, and that all efforts to quiet
the negroes have thus far failed.
Somebody ought to go among them
with rations of roasted possum and
sweet potatoes, and the dance will be
abandoned instantly. No negro, no
matter how superstitious he may be,
is going to waste his time over a
ghost dance when roasted postum is
in sight,

A DAWSON ENTERPRISE

The Dawson Investment Company
will be ready for business by the first
OF February, and will be one ofthe
principal factors of Dawson's pros
perlty the present year.
1t has has required much labor and
time to arrange all preleminaries and
details of the company preparatory
to the commencement ofbusiness, and
this has has been given by Mr.. j.
K. Mercer, the enterprising secretary
and treasurer.
Mr.. Mercer is one of the moving
spirits In the city's great material
progress, and much of its prosperity
and rapid growth in the rast year is
due to his untiring energy and enter
prise.
The investment company means
mt CHI for Dawson.

NOW FOR 1891.

Dawson's growth for the past
twelve months just gone was substau-
tial and remarkable.
She enters the new year with in"
creased vigor and pluck, and has
laid out big amount of work to be
done in 1891.
If she keeps the prominence she
has gained IN the past twelve months,
the beginning of another year will
find near 5000 souls within her in
corporated limits, to say nothing of
numerous new industries, factories,
stores and hundreds of dwelling
houses.

SUPPORT THE TALK HIYH NONE Y.

They are talking about building
fine winter resort hotel in Dawson"
So spkoe citizen a few mornings
ago.
Such talk sounds nice, but we
would much prefer to see work com =
menced. We heard such talk here
ten years ago.
There we're good reasons then to
believe that such an enterprise would
be profitable.
There are better reasons now tor
entertaining such an opinion. We
certainly hope the talk will material
ize.
it is well-known fact chat thous-
ands of northern people come south
every winter to enjoy our mild and
healthful climate.
Il is no secret that these people
have spent millions of money in Flor,
ida, and in Southwestern Georgia -
Thomasvilie and other towns.
1t is further known that these
places have gained notoriety and prof,
it because of the suitable preparas
tions they made to accommodate their
winter visitors.
1t is fact known to our people.
and to few northeners who have
spent the winter here, that Dawson IS
second to no place in the south in
healthfulness, and other natural adj
vantages that are essential to a salts
factory winter resort. But we utter.
lY lack the accommodations that are
demanded by the people who patron
lie southern winter resorts. They
propose to pay for what they get, and
are determined to get what they want
in the way of material and social ac,
commodations. Ifthey can't he suit,
ed at one place, they will surely 60 to
another.
The erection of such hotel as is
spoken of, would place Dawson in the
line.Of promotion as a wiuter resort
for northeners.
Once rendered eligible, our towr
would surely go to the top of the lad.
der.
1t would afford us much pleasure
tn record as a verified fact that $50.
900 had been subscribed, and paid in
to build hotel IN Dawson.
There's plenty of talk here.
We need something more substan
tial.

INTELLIGENT FARkiRG.

The ..MilledgevIlle Recorder cites
the experience Of Mr.. Robert WASH
burn, of Oconee county, as a proof of
what can he done by intelligent and
industrious farming. Five years ago
Mr.. Washburn purchased 1S5 acres
of land in Ocouee county, which re-
quired from four to seven acres to
make bale of cotton. He ran two
plows and worked three hands, him>
self making one. But a thorough
business systemwas put in force. A re-
cord is kept otthe mode of cultivation,
crops, process aud itemized expense
of each field or patch. Every shows
or is reported, as also the drouths, and
the condition of the crops at every
stage. Ifan experiment is made with
any particular seed, manure or pro-
cess of cultivation, an exact account
is kept of cost and profit. Such man.
agement began to tell from the FIRST
year. His crops increased and hi
fields grew richer. But instead Of
branching out on larger scale and
investing in more land, Mr.. Wash
burn confined himself to his same lit
tie farm and placed ? certain part Of
his profits to enrichen his9 fields. NJ
built nice residence and modern
barn, besides making other improve
ments to add to his comfort and con-
venience Last year he had just foul
crops. With two mules, two hired
hands and his own labor in 1889 Mr
Washburn made forty-six bales o
cotton, every one weighing over 50(
pounds; he gathered 700 bushels o
of corn, eighty-fve bushels of wheat
harvested an immense crop OF oats
besides raising large quantities of tor
age corn, German milet, and in fact
everything grown in that section.
He also killed meat enough to supply
himself and hands, hogs of his own
raising When all the crops were
harvested and the produce sold it was
found that besides his own support
MIR. Washburn had cleared 81, 053
during the year with only two plows.

Accounts from Oklahoma of the
