THE PRODIGAL PRINCE.
A Strange Reason for Rise In
the Price of Peaches.

A Russian Prince who boosted of his extrav-
agance SO the story goes. squandered fortune
in Paris in one season. In a restaurant one day
the waiter charged him three francs apiece for
peaches.
Are peaches scarces' asked the nobleman.
NO, but princes are was the reply.
Those who waste their bodily strength as this
man wasted his cash, end in physical bankruptcy.
The signs Of it, which cannot be hidden, are in
digestion, nervousness and steady loss of flesh,
consequent upon the weakness of the stomach.
In such a drugs are utterly useless. They
are not food, and the patient needs fat
Paskola makes fat surely and swiftly. 1t is pre-
digested and the system takes it up at once. Mrs
Charles Book OF 2SI Twenty fourth street. Detroit
Mich, had indigestion and took Paskoa. She
writes:
by the time the first bottle consumed, l
had gained five pounds. The circles disappeared
from around my eyes, and my complexion show
ed a marked improvement. | have now taken
three bottles and have gained l416 pounds
Through advice of friends" says William T.
| Ross of Brdgeton, y. j., Il decided to try
| Paskola for my daughter who has been in poor
| health for several months past from loss of APP
| petite and general debility. She had wasted
away in flesh and at the time she began taking
| Paskola weighed 100 pounds. After two weeks
treatment she gained eight pounds. She is gain
ing in health and strength daily, with increasing
appetite for the most hearty food that was repug
nant TO her before taking Paskola. AS a flesh
forming food, think it far superior to cod liver
oil or other similar preparations and am more
than gratiied with the results"
Thin folks who want to be fat can get PaskolG

Mans Three Stages.

When little boy, Sheridan lie Fanu
wrote an essay on the life of man, which
ran as follows: "a mans life naturally
divides itself into three parasitic first,
when he is planning and contrivng all
kinds of villainy and rascality; that is the
period of youth and innocence. In the
second, he is found putting in practice all
the vilainy and rascality he has contrived !;
that is the flower of manhood and prime
of life. The third and last period is that
when he is making his soul and preparing

Notwith standing His Pardon He Is Stin
Doing Service.
The following from the Albany Herald
will be of interest in Dawson, as it was
from here chat Grass was sent to the
convict camps on the charge of stealing
a watch from Allen Bros:
1.-The fact that William Grass, young
negro who is better known in Albany as
''Bigmouthed Bill" had been pardoned
by the governor was announced in the
Herald two or three weeks ago. But it
seems that Bill has not yet been given
his liberty. His mother received let
ter from him day or two agoin which
he made no reference 20 his pardon.
Evidently he has not yet been advised
of his pardon, and is still doing time
at McCree's convict camp in Lowdpes
county. Hon. E. r. Jones has written
to the governor about it. "

CHARGED WITH ARSON.
DOMESTIC INFELICITY LEADS TO A
CONFEDERATION.

Nathan jackson and His Wife Did Not
live Peacefully and he B,sned Her
HOuse--He Is in Jail.
On last Wednesday night two-room
negro house, situated on the east end of
Lee street and owned by A. J, Baldwin
& Co., was burned
The house was occupied by the wife
of Nathan Jackson, negro laborer en-
ployed by Mrs. Harper. The house and
nearly all it's contents were consumed.
Domestic infelicity seems to have been
the cause of the fire, and Jackson is now
in Jail, under indictment by the grand
jury, charged with the crime.
1t appears that the negro and his wife
had not been living together for some
time. He gwent to see her that night,
and the meeting between them was. a
stormy one. Jackson was very angry
when he left, and few minutes after
wards the house was discovered to be on
fire. tbs claimed by some that he was
seen leaving the house after the blaze
was started.
He was arrested by the night police
men, and will be tried for arson.

1T GOES LOWE II.

Rate on First-class Freight From New
York Continues to Decline.
Last week THE NEWS announced that
the rate on first class freight from New
York to Dawson had dropped from $l.31
to 89,cents. 1t has since gone to 35 cents,
and it is thought that it will fall to rs
cents per hundred before the rate war is
over.
The railroads leading to the east with
out water connections are very much
inclined to cut to the quick, and one of
the prominent representatives Of one Of
these lines is reported to have said that
it was his faith that railroad rate wars
can only be stopped by going to the very
bottom at once without any dilly-dally-
ing and trifing dickering.
whenever railroad makes war on
another said he, 1.-THE other should not
content itself with simply meeting the
rate that the warrior road startst,
but should go at once far below it.
There is absolutely no money in it for
the railroads to haul freight from the
east at the present rates recently estab-
lished by the Clyde line. There is abso-
Lutte losss on every pound lof freight
hauled if the rate should be made much
lower. This being the result, why not
run it down in an aggressive way and let
the chips fall where they may? 1t
wouldn't be long before the war would
be over. Run it to the bottom and let it
60 back to the top, as it surely would in
few days.
GAS for myself, am in favor of stop
ping this rate disturbance in short order,
and the only way to do it is to run
freight down to nothing nearly and let
rates come back 10 the top as they will.
The roads that made war will then be
surely very sorry that they spoke"

Evans carried eleven counties and At

Evans got Lowndes, Randolph, Eoh-

Atkinson carried Hancock, Glynu,

duced to IA by Saturday night.
Most Of these Counties were on tho
''slate' for Atkinson and his friends
boastfully claimed them, bat the people
went to the polls and made noble fight
with glorious results.
In Coweta, Atkinson's home county,
it was made uncomfortab.y hot for him.
In Senoia, for instance, Atkinson got III
votes and Evans 95. InNewnan, Atkin-
sons, veryIhome, the General had large
vote. His vote in the whole county ran
up to $50 The vote is distressing to
the Atkinson boomers, and does not
show that unanimity for sCoweta's ia

The Steam Horse Will Soon BE Snorting
Through the Piney Woods From
Dawson to Bluffton.
The extension of the Columbus South
ern railroad from Dawson to Bluffton
becomes more of probability every day.
The people along the proposed extern
sion are becoming deeply interested in
the matter. Especially is this true of
the people in and around Button.
Elsewhere in THE News we publish
an article from the Bluffton News giving
an account of a large and enthusiastic
railroad meeting in that town the other
night. The people are thoroughly aroused
over the subject, and have put their
shoulders to the wheel and are going to
push until something is accomplished.
Mr., ", 7, Green,a prominent citizen
of Button, was in Dawson last Fridag
to confer with our citizens about the
new road. His enthusiasm was I'M
bounded, and he could think or talk
about nothing but railroad. Bluffton
couldn't have sent better or more per-
severing representative, and if the other
people of that town are taking the same
interest that he is they are sure to have
rail- Dad facilities.
While here Mr.. Greene saw number
of orr prominent citizens, and was as
sured that Dawson would cooperate
with the people along the proposed
route in securing the extension.
The route mostly favored here is from
DAVIS to Dickey, from Dickey to Bluff
ton and thence to Blakely. This route
would open up section rich With tim
Der and agricultural products, and would
be worth more to both the railroad and
the towns interested-e especially to Daw-
son.
The business men of Dawson will be
only too glad to aid in carrying out this
enterprise, and some of them will soon
visit Columbus in the interest of tie
project.
We learn thai the officials of the road
are anxious to get into the timbered
regions, and look with much favor upon
the movement.
