most impesing court houses in the
!state and other public structures that
are creditable to the intelligence and
' progress of the people, the city's ed
' ucational building is sadly out of
harmony with its surroundines. The
erection of a brick school builg
ing, centrally located, is an undertak
‘ing which is necessary, and to which
the council, the board of city schoeol
commissioners and all others should
lend hearty support.
The present school house was built
by the South Georgia Methodist Con
ference with the aid of private sub
scriptions many years ago,and it has
long since passed the days of useful
ness as well as the time when it was
an ornament,
The issuing of bonds for a new build
ing, to judge from the sentiment of the
public, would meet with the heartiest
approval. It is certainly time for some
action to be taken in regard to the
matter.
Dawson needs a new school building,
and the progressiveness which has
characterized the town in the past
will certainly not fail to meet the de
mands of the present.
A CONVICT CAMP.
The County Commissioners Au
thorize the Establishment of
One in Terrell County.
At their recent session the county
commissioners adopted the following
resolution :
“Be itresolved by the Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues of Terrell coun
ty, That a misdemeanor convict camp
be and the same is hereby established
in this county, to be operated by C. C.
Lundy, for the working of misdemean
or convicts under the laws of this
state and the riles and regulations
made and prescribed by the prison
commission of Georgia.”
It is understood that Mr. Lundy will
use the convicts in farm work and cut
ting timber in the Third district.
He has the authority to hire con
victs from other counties.
. “SWEET VIOLETS.”
Mrs. F. E. Clark Gave a Reception at
Which That Flower Reigned Supreme.
A rcception to the lady teachers
and to a anumber of other young la
dies was tendered by Mrs. F. E. Clark
Saturday afternoon from 3 to so'clock.
As each guest entered the home she
detected the faint, sweet odor of
violets, and a glance in almost any di
rection explained the cause of the
fragrance which permeated eyery part
of the house, for violets reigned su
preme. A profusion of these flowers,
arranged with the most artistic taste,
made exquisite decorations.
The occasion might haye been prop
erly termed a violet party, for these
flowers were embodied, either by word
or in reality, in every feature of the
afternoon. A very interesting contest
occurred, in which the letters in the
word ‘“‘violet'’ were used by transposi
tion to spell sthe answers to fourteen
questions. The most successful con
testant was Miss Bennie Brimberry of
Albany, who received as a prize for
her well directed efforts a dainty bot
tle of violet perfume.
After this came a dainty luncheon.
Mrs. Clark’s efforts as hostess met
with much success, for all present pro
nounced the occasion an extremely de
ligh'tful one.
- A Warning,
To feel tired after exertion isone
thing: to feel tired before is another.
Don't say the latter is laziness—it
isn't; but it'sa sign that the system
lacks vitality, is running down. and

It's a warning, too—and sufferers
should begin taking Hood’s at once.

that the occasion, with Mrs. Geise as
hostess, was an exceedingly delightful
oune.
A rather unique contest, and one
that taxed the powers of observation
of the contestants, was the feature of
the afternoon. The guests, one at a
time, were led from the parlor into an
adjacent room, wher? a moments’
glimpse of a table, containing a va
riety of objects was obtained. Af
ter seeing these articles it was requir
ed of those present to write on a piece
of cardboard, proyided for the purpcse,
the names of as many as could be|
remembered. Mrs. Maggie Crouch‘
proved to be the closest observer and
the one possessing the most retentive
memory. She receiving a handsome
prize, which she very graciously ten
dered to Miss Tate, who was a guest of
the club. The second award was won
by Mrs. G. W. Dozier.
Very dainty refreshments were en
joyed by the guests before taking their
departure.

'CAT GAVE THE ALARM
' .
|John FultoniLoses His Home and
Household Effects by Fire.
No Insurance.
The home of Mr. John Fulton, one
‘ of Randolph county’s “well-known and
{ prominent farmers who lives {about
‘ three miles west of Dover, was totally
destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The
l loss was about $2,500, and there was no
insurance on either the house or its
contents.
The family had retired except Mr.
Fulton, when a cat ran into the room
’and jumped on the bed where Mrs,
Fulton was asleep and awoke her with
its mewing. Mr. Fulton went:out to
see what the trouble swas and] found
the diningroom and kitchen a mass of
flames and ready to fall in.
Through excitement he attempted
to extinguish the fire by himself, and
the whole family came near béeing cre
mated before learning their danger.
It is thought that the fire originated
in the stove room from ra pan of hot
ashes which were left there by the
cook.
None of the household} goods or
clothing of the members of the family
were saved.
HE IS WANTED IN STEWART,
Governor Did Not Honor Reguisition for
Abe Kline.
Gov. Candler was apout to honor a
requisition from the Governor of Flor
ida for Abe Kline, white, wanted for
swindling, when he remembered that
the Georgiaauthorities still had sev
eral scores against Kline, and after
that the governor of Alabama has the
first call.
Kline was coanvicted atgßome and at
Carrollton and paid his fines. He is
now in the hands of the~Stewart coun
ty authorities, where he will probably
be similarly dealt with and thenjAla
bama can have him. Kline’s specialty
was negotiating worthless checks and
drafts, which he did with considerable
success.
