1t Is NOT CHAMBERS.
SAYS THE STATE VETERINARY
SURGEON,

WHO CAME HERE FROM ATLANTA To Ex-
ANIME THE DISEASED STOCK.
The CHAMBERS excitement has subsidized,
and our country friends can drive their
stock into the city without the least fear.
The fact is, there has not been sin
gle case of CHAMBERS among the stock of
the city, nor any contagious or infectious
disease.
In response to telegram from Mayor
W. b. Cheatham the State Commissioner
OF Agriculture, Hon. r. T. Nesbitt, sent
DIR. j. NJ Gray, the state veterinary sur
geon, here from Atlanta last Friday to
examine the stock that was supposed to
have the CHAMBERS.
Dr. Gray unhesi tatingly said that the
disease was not CHAMBERS, and further
more said that it was neither contagious
nor infectious,
Saturday mayor Cheatham had printed
and distributed the following circular,
containing the certificate of the veterina-
ry surgeon and a statement from himself:
The statement made by different par
ties that CHAMBERS existed among our
horses and mules is untrue. We have
had the matter thoroughly investigated
by competent Veterinary Surgeon sent
here by State Commissioner Agriculture.
Hon. r. T. Nesbit, and below find his
certificate.
W. b. CHEATHAM, Mayor, Dawson, Ga.
Dawson, Ga, march, IA, 1891. This is
to certify that have, as representative
OF the Agricultural Department of the
State of Georgia, examined the stock
quarantined in the city of Dawson, on
suspicion of having the CHAMBERS, and
other horses and mules thought to have
the disease, and state most POSITIVELY, after
careful exination, that find no CHAMBERS
in any of them, nor even a symptom of
the disease. | further state that | have
been rigid in my examination, and have
gone into the stables here and find not
even contag Gus, infections Orepidem-
lc disease amony the stock of this city.
DIR. j. M. GRAY, V. S., Atlanta, Ga.
The above certificate settles the qu0s-
ton and relieves all fear.
There have been no new cases of the
disease, and the horses that were afffict-
ed are getting we'll
Out of the dozen or more mules and

DAWSON MUST DOHER FULLDUTY
All Must Work For a Cotton Factory

Dawson must have that cotton factory
She must do her full duty.
A cotton factory would be a great
thing, indeed, for the city.
1t would increase business, quicker
trade.
1t would create a demand for vacant
lots on which to build houses.
1t would fill the boarding houses and
hotels.
1t would throw thousands of dollars
into the tills of the merchants.
1t wo"ld advertise the city and draw
people here from other towns and other
states, who are seeking new homes, new
investments, and new industries.
Immigrants and visitors can but be
impressed with the Importance of a city
that has several manufacturing enter
prises.
The investment company should CO.
operate in the establishment of such an
enterprise.
The board of trade should cooperate
in establishing such an enterprise.
The merchants should cooperate in
establishing such an enterprise.
The citizens of Dawson generally
should unite in establishing such an en-
terprise.
Every industrial interest, every manu-
featuring enterprise, every business es-
tablishment should unite in establishing
such an enterprise.
All classes of business men, and all
people should give such help as they
can towards securing such an industry
for Dawson.
Now let the people of Dawson get to
work.
And all shall be for the benefit of
Dawson.

BUYING LOTS OF GUANO.

THE FARMERS SWEAR OFF IN THE FALL,
BUT BUY MORE IN THE SPRING.
The old saying, "the farmers swear off
in the fall, but buy more in the spring"
is about to be verified in Georgia.
A large quantity of guano has been
sold in the Dawson market this season.
Yesterday 100000 fertilizer tags were
sent out from the agricultural depart
ment, making the total amount of tags
sent out up to date, 2,750,000, showing
that 275,0OO tons of guano have been in
spected.

during the twelve month, showing that
2SS, 1l2 tons of guano We're inspected.

Gas.

Our friend Lester, who presides over
the destinies of the Shellman depart
ment of the Cuthbert Enterprise, has
become unduly excited, and has been
publishing some cock-and-bull stories
about the CHAMBERS in Dawson. His lat
est is "that upwards of a dozen mules
and horses have been condemned in the
various livery stables of Dawson" The
facts are, there has been no CHAMBERS
here, there is none here now, and that
not single mule or horse has been con-
demned.
The veterinary surgeon who came here
Columbus returned and reported to the
ColuT bus Enquirer that he chad four
or five horses belonging to parties in
Dawson killed." The facts in this in
stance are that not single horse or
mule has been killed in Dawson. and
that all the horses that he said was af-
fected with the CHAMBERS are getting
well.
The truth is, and the assertion is made
on authority of the state veterinary sur
geon from Atlanta, there is not nor has
been single case of CHAMBERS in Dawson.

No Electric Lights

1t seems that Dawson will not have
electric lights under the present contract
with Mr., c. G.. Barefoot.
Mayor Cheatham has received a letter
from Mr.. BarfoOt saying that on account
OF the money pressure he has been una
bic to make arrangements for the pur-
chase of the necessary machinery, and
that the prospects now are that he will
be compelled to surrender his contract to
the council, so that another contract
may be made with other parties foI
lights
The city council is determined that
the city shall have electric lights, how
ever, and will at once begin negotiating
with other parties looking to that end.

ment in that neighborhood for few

was soon restored. 1t is not known who

The recent continued rains have come
near causing the farmers to become nery-
GUS and discouraged. Farm work of all
kinds is fully month behind, and it
will be almost impossible now to give
the lands the thorough preparation
which goes so far toward an abundant
yield. In addition to this, their en-
ployed laborers are drawing their paw
without doing any work and the price
OF cotton keeps sneaking down as if
ashamed of such meanness. But the
sunshine and sweet breath of spring will
soon be here, and they can plant their
land in corn, potatoes, peas and water
melons, and, when harvest time comes.
they can wax fat and kick higher than
sorrel mule.
