DAWSON Is GROWING.
~ HOMES OF ARCHITECTURAL
BEAUTY GOING UP
..,u Cottages Rapidly Giving Away
to Imposing Structures. A
substantial Growth.

uoodsome home speaks more Tor the
.nsnaritv of a city, perhaps, than any
one thing.
Ten years ago there was hardly a
darn home in Dawson, but now
,-;donces of latter-day pattern
asnoment nearly every street of this
oitv of 5000 population, and nearly
.,,orv dav sees the erection of new
home begun.
r is not a boom that Dawson is en-
loving but a solid growth that
denotes prosperous and substantial
people.
Where a few years ago were found
only cottages of PLAIN and common
buiId are now to be seen modern and
imnosing residences with all the latter
daT conyeniences and appearances.
In the past few months many homes
that would ornament large city have
bppn built, and others have been re-
touched and mOdernized.
Notwithstanding this past rapid
growth, this year promises to be one
Of more marked adVancemement iu
the building of new homes than
was ever before known in the his
tory of the city. Besides the
many handsome residences which
have recently gone up are number
which are now being built and which
will be built within the next few
weeks.
On Lee street Mr.. G. M. Roberts has
pretty and cOzy home nearing com
pletion, and Mr.. w. S. Dozier another
on Crawford street. Mr.. C. E. Far
rar is building pretty and conven-
iently arranged home on Fourth ave.
nue., and in few days Mr.. r. w.
Jennings will begin another on Craw-
ford stree. Next week Judge
John B. Perry will begin the
erection of one of the handsom-
est and cOstliest homes in southwest
Georgia on StoneWall street, and in a
few weeks MIR. A. j Carver will begin
another of the same kind on Lee street
Mr. W. f. LoWrey is having the ma
teral placed or the ground for an ele-
giant home on Fourth avenue, and Mr..
j. D Laing will soon begin the erect
ion Of 2 modern home on the corner of
Fourth avenue and Orange street.
These buildings will all be handsome
structures, and will add much to
Dawson's reputation as city of pros
porous people and elegant homes.
Dawson grows!

South American P,ckpockets.

Practice makes perfect even in
wrong-doing and in the use of what
seem to be very awkward means. A
writer in the Boston Transcript says:
The Gauchos, or dweliers, on the ex-
tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both
hands and feet. Many Of them have
acquired, through long practice, such
skill in using their toes instead OF
fingers that they can fling the lasso
and even pick pockets with them.
Some time ago Frenchman, who was
fishing in one of the rivers Of Buenos
Ayres. was warned to be on his guard
against the light fingered natives. He
forthwith kept vigilant watch upon
his companions. but, nevertheless, one
day when his attention was closely
riveted on his float, willy Gaucho
drew near and delicately inserting his
foot, extracted the Frenchman's hooks
and other valuable from his pocket.
