CHRISTMAS FESTIVILIES.
THE DAWSONIANS ARE MERRY THIS
YULETIDE SEASON.
Santa Claus Distributes Presents at a
Christmas Tree. A Number of
Social Gatherings.
"T'was the night before Christmas,
and all through the Methodist ehurch
could be seen bright eyes and expectant
faces gazing with delight at the beauti
ful holly tree with branches loaded down
with Christmas gifts. After some songs
and recitations the proceedings were
snddenly interrupted by a telegram
from Santa Claus announcing his ap
proach, A jingle jangle and with a
blast from his horn he was in the church,
and right royally did he respond to the
smiles and laughter which greeted him.
There were presents for everybody and
everybody for - presents. The pastor and
his _wife, Dr. and Mrs. Scruggs,
received many handsome gifts, as
did all the officers of the Metho
dist Sunday school. And the
children! how the bountiful tree
yielded up its dolis, tea sets, balls, horns
and other toys for their gratification. I.
was a happy time, and will be long re
membered.
Christmas night a large number of
the young ladies of Dawson, and visitors
from other cities, gathered at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank McNulty and
spent some happy hours. Conversation,
jest, laughter, promenading, music and a
wee bit of dancing soon brought the
time to say ‘“good night” A large
stand of delicious fraitin the hallway
was a shrine at which many worshipped
during the evening.
Wednesday night the home of Dr. and
Mrs. J. G. Dew was aglow with light,
and within gayety reigned suvreme,.
The young folks were enjoying a party
given them by Mrs. Dean, and sorry they
were for the hour of withdrawing to ar
rive, so joyously lad sped the time.
Thursday night Miss Ola Stevens gave
a masquerade party, and there was lots
of fun for all in attendance. There were
shrieks of laughter at the ridiculous
costumes and words of admiration for
the bewitching ounes. It was a motley
array, and many were the surprises when
the masks were removed and recogui
tions took place. Some of the young
men were attired in feminine custume,
and report an extra large time when they
were being escorted by other youug men.
Christmas day the Presbyterians sent
a m.st acceptable package to their Suu
day school superintendent, Professor E.
E. Britton, as a coken of their regard..
His little children were also handsomely
remembered by the Sunday schoo!.
One evening during the holidays Miss
Mary Wal', one of the charming young
misses of ihe city, entertained quite a
large party of young people at ber pa
rents’ home on Lee street.
The young people of the city and their
visiting friends had a merry time at
Judge Griggs’ residence lastnight. The
attraction was a phantom party, and the
ghosts disported themseives merrily.
‘The party was in honor of Misses Towns,
‘Long and Jones, who are visiting Murs.

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to sersonal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of fihysical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
idis(i)elling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name; Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, fx{ou will not
accept any substitute if offered.

DEMORALIZING THE BLACKS.
Ihe African Emigration Fever Has Struck
South Georgia.
It seems that the African immigration
or colonization agents are abroad in the
land and at work among the negroes in
the adjoining counties, but they have
not yet scruck Terrell. Their plan is to
organize societies, get the people to pay
in theitr money aud promise them trans
portatiov for themselves and families to
Africa.
In Stewart county, and in some of the
counties below here, it is said that sev
eral societies have been organized. It
is also reported that every tenant on one
planter’s farm in Stewart county has
joined the African Club, with the avow
ed purpose of leaving whenever their
leader says ‘‘go.”” They are turn
ing every thing they have into money and
saying their mopey for this scheme.

peculiarly successfuil remedy for this
disease, which it cures by purifying the
blood.
