fully stated that no city can boast Of a
healthier cline, winter or summer.
than Dawson or more hospitable and
better people.
RAILROADS.
A chief and essential element toward
the success and progress of a city are
its railroads and shipping facilities.
In these respects Dawson is particular
ly fortunate in possessing two rail
roads one branch of one of the largest
systems in Georgia. The two roads
entering the city are the southwestern
a branch Of the Central Railway Of
Georgia and the Columbus Southern.
The passenger and freight facilities of
these roads are excellent and the low
rate of freight offered by them has
been great incentive toward estab-
fishing jobbing trade in Dawson.
THE GROWTH OF DAWSON.
In the last fifteen years has been
steady, and its progress of a substan-
tial and permanent order. It's present
growth has been the result of the adj
yantages which nature has bestowed
so bountifully, coupled with the ener-
gy Of enthusiasm and determination.
No error is committed when Dawson
is ranked among the progressive cities
of the state, for its advantages are in
ferior to none, and its future POSSIBLE
lities are so beautifully foreshadowed.
Its citizens speak of the city as the site
of coming industrial enterprises, the
products Of which will find a ready
| market in all civilized countries. its in
situations of learning, churches, lovely
homes, etc.
AS place of residence it offers all
the advantages of health. climate,
laws, schools, churches, morality, So
clety, public convenience and of busi
ness. The citizens are law-abiding
and peaceful, and are willing and ready
to encourage in a substantial way any
worthy enterprise which is backed by
money and men of character and eX-
perience. AS place of trade Dawson
cOmmends itself most forcibIy to the
inhabitants of the surrounding cOun-
try. 1t offers a good market for cotton,
corn, fruits, and other staples. The
merchants sell their goods at prices
that defy competition, 1t pays the far
mer to dispose of his products and buy
goods in Dawson, because it is the best
market. 1t pays to settle in Dawson
because of its healthfulness, education
al facilities and other advantages.
Sitting like queen upon her throne,
commanding the commerce of the gar
den. spot OF Georgia, Dawson invites
capital, merchants and all who theo-
rlze on local husbandry to come, see
and compare its advantages with those
OF It's more pretentious sister .cities OF
the SOuth.s

To Hold Positions.

There are many persons to day out
of employment, and who feel that life
is not worth living. Yet if we merit
it we shall find work even in these
hard times, observes a writer in an
exchange. Seventy eight applied for
single position in Philadelphia, which
was given to a man reduced to poverty
man who received a salary of $Iso
per month in the "better days" He
said, 81 realize now the necessity of
making my employers feel that my
services are valuable TO them and
am trying tohold my position on merit
alone" This is point many lose
sight of and to which the attention
of the young people should be called.
There are too many that want some
thing for nothing. We have never
forgotten the advice an Institute Con-
ductor gave to the teacher several
years ago. He said: "Earn $I.Is
for every dollar you get and you'll
hold your position. When you begin
to feel that district cannot get along
without you, resign before you are
dismissed for this dismissal will surely
follow" Good advice to anyone.
This professor is president of one Of
the best Normal school in the north
west, position he had held eight
years on merit. 'Tis true many gain
positions through influence and In this
way hold them in spite of liabilities.
This is not the rule, however, and we
must strive to obtain position by
merit if we would hold it and rise to
better station. To barely do the
work assigned in barely passible
manner is not enough. We must do
our work in the best possible manner
with neatness and dispatch.

Nothing In IA Name.

There was a man whose name was
Fish, out Connecticut way, who had o

might have been somebody, for he
even became Congressman, but
when his friends began to talk of him
for United States Senator the ridicu'

Summer would say-of preserved fish
holding so high n position was a lit
tie too much. So he was dropped like

Little Melissa Hunt Wanted n Piano and
Her Brothers Prepared "A Surprise.
The strange case OF Melissa Hunt.
the fiftecn-year-old colored girl. at
Fishkill on the Hudson, who became
insane suddenly aroused widespread
interest in the vicinity.
Melissa was quite bright and viva.
cious before her strange illness. The
girl had an aptitude for music, and
was gratified few weeks ago. and
She took several lessons.
Melissa was such an apt pupil that
she accomplished as much in half n
dozen lessons as many girls in two or
three terms of instruction. She ex
pressed wish for piano and seemed
very anxious to own one. Her broth
ers discovered this idea and told her
that as they were poor folks she
would have TO get along without one
Melissa was very much disap
pointed, but bore up quite bravely
Her indulgent brothers decided then
that they would crafty her wish
The jiano was brought to the Hunt
residence from the music dealers
and set up in the parlor one afternoon
while Melissa was out calling on some
young friends. When the young girl
returned home there was n twinkle ir
Mrs. Hunts eyes, and she sent Melis
sa in the parlor on the preteXt of get
ting book for her.
The effect of the surprise upon the
sensitive nerves of the girl was seri
Gus, however, far different from what
had been anticipated by the family
As soon as Melissa caught sight of
the piano she shrieked, then tottered
toward the instrument but did not
reach it, as she shricked again and
fell in a dead faint upon the parlor
floor. The girls joy had apparently
dethroned her reason.
The other members of the family
who had followed Melissa in the ex
pectatlon Of enjoying her surprise
were alarmed and ran to her assist
ance. They picked her up and had
her upon lounge. BY this time the
girl was wildly hysterical. A physi
clan was called, nut failed to give
the little suffer much relief. She was
then afflicted with acute hysterical
mania.
For more than n week she did not
utter word and appeared to have
lost the power OF speech.

Can Never Shut Down.

There is truth in the following from
ali exchange: "There is one matter
in which the country newspapers labor
at disadvantage in times of money
stringencya as compared with the manu-
factures. The publisher never finds a
time when he can shut down his plant
and lay off his employees, except when
he reaches a point where he becomes

Lincoln's Self. TRIMMING.

The following account of Abraham
Lincoln's early struggle for mastery
of thought. told in his own language,
may be of use to many young people
1t gives the secret Of the power of his
simple style. In 1860 Mr.. Lincoln de.

wich, Conn. The Rev. John CULVER,
late of Andover Seminary, said that
he learned more of the art of public
speaking in listening to that speech
than he could have learned from a
whole course of lectures on rhetoric
He was so much interested in the
mastery address that he asked Mr.
Lincoln where he was educated. We
give the reply in Mr.. Lincolns own
words:
Well, as to education, the newspa-
pers are correct. / never went to
school more than six months in my
life. l can say this, that among my
earliest recollections / remember how,

A Ring Puzzle.

In this city recently the .possessor OF
A diamond ring requested friend to
take the ring to n reputable house and
borrow $40 upon it. The friend conf
plied and soon returned with the mon
ey. The ring was placed in the safe by
the man who furnished the cash, there
to remain until it should be redeemed.
Later on No 2, who pawned the ring
for No I, concluded that he would like
TO have so, and as the ring was val
uable one he returned to the man with
the safe and asked for the money, which
was readily furnished, the safe man
supposing the ring belonged to No. 2,
the man who pawned it. Nos. 1 and 3
now had $40 each, provided they had
not spent it, which is more than likely.
Later ON it happened that the safe man
went homo for the night, and his place
was taken by another. The second safe
man knew nothing about the transac'
tions of tho first safe man concerning
the diamond ring. When another man
mo. 81 presented himself and courteous
" stated that he had left a ring in the
charge Of the first safe man and desired
10 get it, the second safe man, being
convinced that the ring belonged to No.
8, handed out the glittering circle Of
gold without unnecessary delay. No 3,
Oh obtaining possession of the ring,
found that he also needed some money,
aud at once. He therefore lost no time
in putting up the ring at his uncle's
fnr AN equivalent in coin of the realm.
The result: The first safe man is out
