With Others to Enter.
The Dawson Public Schools open

and bright prospects for a successful
school year. The enrolment is now
something over 300, with other pu-

COURT ADJOURNED FRIDAY.
Nearly 100 Criminal Cases Go Over
to the November Term.

Nearly 100 Criminal Cases Go Over
to the November Term.
The adjourned term of the supe-
rior court came to close last Fri
day afternoon after a busy session
of eight days of work, in which
large number of criminal cases
were disposed of, nearly all being
for misdemeanor offenses.
Only one sentence was imposed for
a penitentiary offense, and that was
in the case of the young man who
was given four years for perjury.
The grand jury, during the reg
ular May term and the adjourned
term, returned 1877 bills of indict-
ment, and 81 of these, besides a
number of cases that were already
on the docket, go over to the No
vember term for disposition.
1t will be seen, therefore, that
there will be plenty of business for
the next session of court, and it will
also doubtless be lengthy one.

THE LEGISLATURE FAILED
TO PASS THE FAKTR LAW


The Georgia State Optical Asso-
citation, backed up by the occulists
and public sentiment, made every eff
fort to have law. passed to prevent
the practice of fraud on the people
of Georgia by fakirs travelling under
the guise of opticians, occulists, eye
specialists or whatever prefix, intend
ed to fool the public into buying
cheap and improperly fitted glasses
We do not know why this was not
made law, for it would have saved
thousands of dollars now wasted and
many good eyes ruined.

20 SNAKES AT ONE KILLING
Two Monster Old Rattlers and Their
Offsprings Executed With Gun
Near the City Limits.

Near the City Limits.
This is not a snake story, but is
true narrative related by Mr.. Chas.
&c. Jones, superintendent of Mr.. J..
r. MERGERS farm, who saw the
snakes.
Last Wednesday, while near a
branch in Mr.. MERGERS farm on the
outskirts of the city, George Cham
bers, tenant, discovered a huge rat
tlesnake, which hoisted it's tail about
six inches in the air and made a bee
line for a log some distance away,
rafting it's buttons and other must
cal instruments at loud and terri
BILE rate as it put distance behind.
Chambers pursued the fleeing rep
tile at a safe distance, and was
astonished to see it met at the log
by another almost equal in size.
Both took refuge in the hollow of
the log, and the negro went for his
gun and axe.
He shot the old snakes, which lay
near the entrance, and split open the
log and was astonished to find a
large number of baby reptiles coiled
about them. These were killed, too,
and when counted numbered IS.
They were eighteen or twenty inches
in length. One of the old snakes
was five feet in length, and the 9TH
er about four and a half feet.
1t was the biggest snake killing
of the season, and the most snakes
Mr.. Jones had ever seen in one pile.
