our COTTON MARKET.

Cotton is opening very fast in the fields,
and in few days all the roads leading
to Dawson will be lined with wagons
heading for the best cotton market in
Southwest Georgia.
Dawson gained this reputation by pay
ing the very best prices, and she is going
to hold it again this season by doing the
same thing,
Several buyers are already on the
streets, and several more are coming.
They are liberal with the farmer, and if
they keep up the reputation that
market has enjoyed for the past several
years. thelstreets of Dawson will soon be
working alive with cotton wagons.
They will not only come from Terrell
county farms, but from several adjOin-
ing counties, and our merchants will
drive heavy trade.

The Children,s Friend.

Rev. ]. I. Oxford, of Atlanta, says:
"My baby was sick from its birth, and
we expected it would die. At the age OF
nine months we began to give it Germe-
tuer. The effects were magical. 1t be-
gan to improve at once and is now fat
and growing every day.
j. j. Scruggs, of Sidon, Miss, says
"Our little girl, nine months old, was in
a very low state from summer complaint,
and Germetuer made her fat as a pig"
Into thousands of homes it has carried
blessings of the same kind. 1t is the
great king of all remedies for the little
ones, and just as good for their parents.

That is Fairly Overlooking With Bargains
Messrs. Attell & Solomon, two enter
prising gentlemen from Americas, have
moved to Dawson and opened an entirely
new stock of dry goods and clothing
in the building on The west side of
Main street formerly occupied by c.
n. Bethune.
These gentlemen say they will have a
$3.50, 900 stock, and every article will be a
bargain. Mr. Solomon has been III New
York for more than month doing moth
ing but buying bargains Tor the Dawson
store, which means that the people Of
Dawson and Terrell county can buy all
kinds of dry goods aud clothing this fall
at prices in keeping with the little
amount they will get for their cotton.
Every single item in the immense stock
is new, stylish and durable, and the trad
ing public will do themselves an injus-
tice if they buy before seeing Attell &
Solomon's goods and getting their prices.
These gentlemen are in Dawson to do
business, and feel that if good goods and
low prices are inducements they will do
their share.
They are now ready to see you, and
cordially invite you to call around and
get the benefit of some of their big

CONGRESSIONAL.

The result Of the primaries last We'd
nesdav makes certain the nomination OF
Hon. Ben. E. Russell, and he will sue
coed himself as the representative OF the
second district in congress.
The NEWS earnestly and fearless
ly advocated the candidacy of Judge j..
Fl. Query. We recognized in him man
of superior ability, and one who posses
sed the qualifications to represent the
district at Washington with distinction
to himself and honor to his constituents.
He would have ranked among the fore
most of that body, and would have been
a credit to the state and the people who
sent him there.
But the party has spoken in favor OF
the present incumbent, and there is now
nothing to but to fall into line and give
him loyal support.
The News would urge all of those
who were opposed to Mr.. Russell to re-
member their duty as democrats and
render cheerful support to the nominee
of the party.
The second district must roll up a
good democratic majority in Novem-
b er.

A Great Deal of Damage in Very Few

A good many persons noticed an I'M

Yesterday, about half past 1 O'Clock,
from which flashed rapid tongues OF
lightning, their reports and rum0llngs
coming in almost unbroken succession
That cloud burst, just above Leesburg'
and for about and hour there ragged IN
that little village one of the tiercest
storms of wind and rain that has visited
this part of the Estate in long time.
From parties who came in yesterday

occurred in and around Leesburg. A
negro :child was killed by piece OF fly
ing timber, and its body blown distance
of fully fifty yards. A negro laborer
Lad leg broken, and several other per-
sons were more or less seriously injured.
One of the churches belonging to the
colored people-a large frame structure
was unable to withstand the fury OF
the wind, and was blown to the ground.
An immense quantity OF rain fell dur
ing the storm, and it is probable that we
will hear of further damage.

THE time ,once was when the party
leaders in congress were looked to as the
controlling power, but it seems that the
party at Washington has lost the conf
dence of the country. Men have forgot
ten that their first duty was to relieve
the people and restore confidence, and
selfish motives seem to rise higher than
patriotic devotion to the interest of The
people. II the party is successful in the
fall campaign it will be because its prin-
ciples are stronger than the power of the
