It seems almost a crime for a man to
hide his light under a bushel. If he has
something new, that will benefit the huv
man race, he should make it known. Old
fogy physicians tread the beaten path of
their grandfathers, denounce advertised
remedies and never learn anything new.
Medical science knows no parallel to Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, com
portinded by a physician of skill and longz
experience, especially for the maladies
which afflict women. It effects a per

HOMER WILLIS'S CASE
WILL. BE CALLED AT THE ADJOURNED
TERM OF TERRELL SUPERIOR COURT
NEXT TUESDAY.—LAWYERS EM
PLOYED BY THE PROSECUTION.
The adjourned term of Terrell superi
rior court will convene next Tuesday
morning for the purpose of trying the
criminal business on the docket.
There are two murder cases to be
tried, the most important of these being
that against Homer Willis.
Some of the best legal talent in this
section has been engaged on both sides
of the case, and it promises to be one of
the hardest fought legal battles ever seen
here. ;
Hoyl & Parks have been employed by
the murdered boy’s father to assist So
licitor-“eneral Griggs in the prosecution.
Colone v Tesse Waters and Joe Laing are
em oued by the defense,
Yorns AWllis is passing the time very
cuicily in his cell, and sees no visitors
eatept his father and attorneys.
Mr. A. W, Willis, the boy’s father,
has published a card denying the report
that Homer was brought here to escape
punishment for a erime committed in
Texas. The card was accompanied by a
cerbificate signed by a number of Texas
citizens. Below is Mr. Willis’s card:
To tinx CITIZENS OF TERRELL COUN
TY: I am the father of Homer Willis,
who is now confined in your jail under
the charge of murder. T am a stranger
to you, but I know that every father
and mother will feel a kind sympathy
for my misfortune. It has been circulat
ed in this commanity that Homer was
brought from Texas to this state to
shield him from crime committed in
Texas. These charges are untrue. Ho
mer has never been guilty of any crime,
and to refute these reports and place
him before a strange community proper
ly, I beg you to read the following certifi
cate, signed by prominent officials and
citizens of my home county in Texas.
Pardon a stranger for taking this my
' only means of refuting these charges in
| a strange community. Respectfully,
i A. W. WiLLIs.
A MOUNTAIN WAIF
COMES HOME WITH DR. W. C. KENDRICK
FROM CHICKAMAUGA. 1
When the Dawson Guards returned
from the encampment at Chickamauga
Jast week a thirteen-year-old mountain
loy came home with Dr. W. C. Ken
drick.
His name is Bob Lee Henry. The day
the Guards reached the encampment the
boy happened to meet up with Dr. Ken
drick. and told him that he was going to
come home with him. The doctor good
humoredly said all right, and dismissed
the boy from his mind, never expcciing
to see him again. But the day the Guards
started home the boy was on hand, and
finding the doctor, told him he was ready
to come. He said that his father and
mother were both dead, that he had no
home and was badly treated by the peo
pie with whorm he had been living. The
boy's story touched the doctor’'s kindly
heart, and he put him on the train and
brought him to Dawson.
The doctor took the boy to his home
and turned him over to his children to
entertain. The little fellow was well
pleased for the first day, after
which he began longing for free
life in the mountains again. He
was seen at the depot on the second day
after his arrival here trying to get off in
an empty freight box. He said he didn’t
like this country and wanted to get back
among the hills and mountains. Dr.
Kendriexk bought him a ticket to Chicka
mauga, put him on the train and started
him on his way home.
A Dawson Poet.
The following poem was contributed
to the Atlanta Constitution by Mr. Clark
Wooten, formerly of Dawson. Mr. Woo
ten shows decided poetie talent, and the
Constitution has several time published
verses from his pen.,
VACATION.
The summons of the evening calls
Across her silences the bird,
And homeward e’er the cool dew falls,
Winds slowly back the joyous herd.
Il
Throngh grasses deep. And homes
are rife
With faint commotion; footsteps go
Like little bars of music; life
Is rising to its purest flow.

I catch the voices and the gleams,
And, half unconscious, linger lave
Amid the dust, and fashion dreams, ‘
And hear my angel murmur—*wait!

HE WAS REFUSED A PENSION,
AND NOW ADDRESSES A CARD TO THE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Mr. M. L. Saunders, of Webster coun
ty, was in the city iast Saturday, and
called at the News office and left the fol
lowing card for publication,
Mr. Saunders was wounded in the leg
auring the war, and his application for a
pension, which was sworn to by several
prominent Terrell count citizens, was
refused by the executive Jepartment.
Below is Mr. Saunder’s ecard:
DAwson, Ga., June 27th, 1891.—W.
H. Harrison, Executive Department, At
lanta, Ga.: You will please permit the
undersigned Confederate veteran, who
made application for a just pension, to
ask you,why such a stigma should be laid
upon the veracity of as patriotic veterans
and citizens as can be found in this state
by saying that applicant is *not entitled
to pension on this proof.” A number of
others, who are as honorable as those
who have already testified to the truth
fulness of my application, are ready to
give their testimony. Yet, such testi
‘mony does not entitle the applicant to a
pension. What kind of testimony do
you want? Something veiled with frinF—
ed and dingy petticoats, as this is like y
to be recognized as a petticoat govern
ment instead of original republicanism?
If so, my hope for monetary allowance |
because of a disabled }imb in the Confed
erate service is blighted. But for the
sake of my veteran friends’ untarnished
home honor 1 regret that I, afaithful
soldierwho is honest in claim, should
have had any confidence in any such
sophistic overtures to disabled confeder
ate soldiers by the state. I made a
proper and truthful application, testified
toby honorable men, but it proved in
vain,and now promises to tarnish the un
sullied veracity of my friends by you
writing back that “applicant is not enti
tled to any pension on this proof.” I
ask again, what kind of proof do you
want?
