} A COUNTY FAIR.
] A REVIVAL OF THE ASSOCIATION
i ITALKED ABOUT.
!One Citizen Says He Will Donate the
Land. The Benefits to the City
l Would Be Great.
' A number of gentlemen were talking
| over the success of theraces the other
day, and one of them expressed the idea
that a revival of the Terrell County Fair
Association would be a good thing for
‘Dawson. This was fheartily agreed to
’by those present, and a business talk fol
lowed.
It was told that one of our citizens
would donate the land, and another
would furnish a large part of the fenc
| ing needed to enclose the grounds.
.~ Would it not be an excellent thing for
[Dawson to act on this matter? Let a
' meeting of our citizens be held, and
lsteps be taken to erect buildings and
prepare grounds for a county fair in
| November. Three days given up to fun
?and pleasure would draw large crowds
‘here and benefit the city by the adver
‘tising that would given it and the large
‘amouut of money that would e spent.
Don’t let the project end in id'e talk,
but let some man come to the front and
eugineer the matter to success. It can
be done, and with profit to Dawson.
WILL WORK ON;SHARES,
Some Farmers Hiring Hands for So Many
Pounds of Cotton.
Captain Wm. Kaigler, who was at
‘home during the holidays, says the furm
ers up the country are hiring hands for
another year for 100 pounds of lint cot
ton for each month’s service in lieu of
standing wages. ‘
The plan has been adopted with suc-|
cess in a number of counties, and it
seems an equitable and fair way to both
the farmer and his hauds. If cotton is
10 cents the hand gets $lO a month, but
if it is 7 cents the hand gets $7 a month,
and so on. No farmer knows what 2ot
ton will bring a year after he hires his
hands, |
Many Fine Hogs.
A great many fine hogs have been
slaughtered the past week. Our farmers
are giving more attention each year to
the raising of hogs, and they ars becom
ing convinced that this can be success
fully and profitably done,

Election Today.
The election for county officers will

the democratic nominees, and a very
small vote will doubtzss be polied

THE BOTTOM FALLS;OUT OF THE
THERMOMETIER,
And Causes Much Suffering at the County
Jail. The Coldest Weather Ever
Known Here.
The first of last week began with
pleasant weather, and Christmas was as
mild as a day in May.
A blustering wind and rain storm on
Wednesday afternoon ushered in the
coldest weather this year, and over
coats and wraps were in demand. The
thermometer came iown to about 35 de
grees, and continued to fall on Thurs
day and {Friday until at times it rezis
tered ,Jless than 18 degrees above zero.
The water 1n the standpipes was frozen,
and in bedrooms with the fire in them
all - night the water was €rozen in the
pitchers and basius.
On Friday i was intensely cold, and
the wind blew so furiously that many
fences were tornjdown. The prisoners
in tie county jail suffered terribly.
When Sheriff Christie visited them he
found many crying because of cold. He
had them supplied wi h extra blankets,
and did a'l in his power to mitigate their
sufferings, Friday night he carried
them into the lower roows of the jail,
where there are fire places, and kept
them under guaid until morning, for
fear some of them might fre>ze to death.
There are fourteen people now in jail,
and this punishment is more than the
law contemplates. Before another win
ter it is boped that the new jail wiil be
buiit. Plans are already being examin
ed and arrangements perfected to begin
the work.
Early Saturday morning the thermom
eter fell o 7 degr-es above zero, and the
ladies were much grieced to find their
choice flowers, protecie.l though they
were by being in flower houses and »its,
cut down by the cold. In some yards,
where water pipes were left open, Satur
day revealed miniature frzen lakes to
the delight of the children.
THE RACES.
Speedy Running and a Delighted Crowd.
The race track was the center of at
traction Christmas afternoon.
Mr. B. M. Wilson wasj behind the
movement to have a number of races on
December 25th, and he pushed it to a
successful end.
The Baldwin-Rogers Comedy Co’s.
band was engaged to make music, and
at 2 o’cluck there were 400 people on the
grounds. No gambling was permitted,
ald the attendance of ladies was vary
large
Mr. J. W. Fox officiated as starter,
and the judges were Messrs, Sam Farkas
of Albany and J. Harbison of Kentucky.
The first was a maich race, best two in
in three half mile heats between Belle
Simmons, driven by A. L. Ryly, and
Sunrise, driven by L. Block gand 8. T.
‘Ryly. The first and second heats were
‘'won by Belle Simmons in 1.19} and
1.19%.
The next was a race between Little
Billy, driven by S. T. Ryly, and Lady
Black, driven by A. L. Ryly. The first
and third heats were wonyby Little Billy
in 1.263 and 1.27}, while Lady Black won
the second heat in 1.26%.
T'he third event was a running race
between JAlice iand Boy Ben. The dis
tance was } .nile, and wss won by Al
ice.
After the races Eagle Bell’s Boy, colt
by Brw Bell, dam by Eagle Bird, was
brought out and gave evidence of great
speed, doing an Bth in 184 seconds,
Belle FSimmons, the black mare that
made the fastest time during the races,
is a beautiful animal and a ro¥ally bred
oae, The two just named are owned by
Messrs. Wils n and Kenyon, and are go
inz to be heard from in other races.
. The gentlemen at *he head of the races
just held promise to have others at a fu
ture date. We have some speedy horses
in Terrell, and that is the way to have
more attention paid to horsefiesh,
The gate receipts were about fifty
dollars.
. In Oldeaz Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient action; but now
that it is generally known that Syrap of
Figs wiil permanently cure habitual con
stipation, well-inf rmed people will not
buy other laxatives, which act for a
time but finally injure the system.
