One of the Largest Crowds That Ever Attended Memorial Day Exer
cises Gathered at the Court House Friday. Hon. Walter E.
Steed, Orator of the Day, Made a Splendid Address.
The people of Dawson met at the
.court house Friday afternoon to
pay reverent tribute to the dead he
roes in gray. One of the largest
.crowds present on such occasions in
_years filled the superior court room.
.Judge J. G. Parks presided as mas
ter of ceremonies, and beside him
sat Hon. Walter E. Steed of Butler,
orator of the day, Congressman J.
M. Griggs and Rev. O. F. Cook.
After two selections of vocal
music, rendered by a chorus of
voices, and a prayer by Rev. O. F.
Cook, PJudge Parks presented Con
gressman Griggs, saying that he
himself had been sclected to intro
duce the orator of the day, but the
distinguished gentleman who repre
sented the second congressional dis
trict was present, and it was with
great pleasure he gave away to
Judge Griggs, who would introduce
to the audience the orator of the
occasion, Hon. Walter E. Steed.
This Judge Griggs did in a short
speech which was greatly enjoyed
by those present.
Col. Steed’s speech was well re
ceived by the audience. Contrary

Neither of the gentlemen knows
whether he simply happened to
the misfortune of losing the money
between here and Dallas or whether
it was stolen. It was missed as
they left the cars at Dallas.

south’s cause ratler than an apolo
gy. The confederates, said the
speaker, fought for their rights be
cause of the inherent manhood with
in tbem, and with no thought ofl
future glory and pensions. Other
sections showed costly monuments
and triumphal arches to the memo
ry of proud victors, bat the people
of the south were the only people
on earth who had erected monu
ments and paid tribute to the mem
ory of heroes who died in a lost
cause. In his eloquent peroration
the speaker paid a high compliment
to the women of the sunny south
land.
After the ceremonies in the court
house the line of march was taken up ‘
to the cemetery, where the exercises
were concluded by the Dawson
Guards firing a salute over the
graves of the dead confederates and
the placing of flowers on the graves
by the ladies. The display of floral
offerings was one of the prettiest
ever seen in Dawson.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mr. H. T. Lynch Sustained Inju
ries in Albany Which Came
Near Proving Fatal.
Mr. Henry T. Lynch, who lives on
his farm near Chickasawhatchee, was
the wvictim of an accident in Albany
Tuesday afternoon which came very
near proving fatal.
With hundreds of others from Ter
retl eounty Mr. Lyneb was in Albany
Tuesday to witness the exercises at
tending governor’s day. Albany was‘
crowded with thousands of visitors and
the sidewalks in the city were packed
with humanity frem early morning till
night. The ccrmer of Broad and
Washington streets, where the acci
dent occurred, was, perhaps, more
crowded than any other place, and
Mr. Lynch proved the unfortunate
member of the crowd into which a
heavy window weight fell.
The third floor of the Welch build
ing, usually used for a lodge room by a
number of secret orders of the eity,
was corverted into temporary sleeping
quarters for some ot the soldiers who
spent the night before in the eity.
The Barnesville Blues were guartered
there, and several of this company
were sitting in the window from
which the weight fell.
The supposition is that some
thoughtless person laid the weight on
the window sill and some of the sol
diers moving about in the window un
knowingly pushed it over.
The heavy weight came down with
great force. striking Mr. Lynch a
'slanting blow on the left side of the
‘head, just back of the ear. He fell at
once to the sidewalk and was picked
‘up unconscious and carried up stairs
‘into a dental office. The wound was a
‘depressed fracture of the skull, and it
‘was necessary to remove a portion of
} the skull about as wide as a silver dol
lar and about twice as long. The
loperation was a very successful oae,
aod soon Mr. Lynch began to rally
and was removed to the home of his
brother in law, Mr. J. H. Coffey,
where he is at this time. The attend
ing physicians believe now that Mr.
lLvnch will recover, though it was at
\ first thought he could not live.
The accident is deeply deplored in
rDawson «and throughout the county.
‘The News heartily joins the host of
friends ofthe injured man in sypmathy
for his family, and in the hope that his
‘recovery will be speedy and certain.

CARRIEDR OFF DRUMMER’S GRIP.
Which Was Not Loaded With Wedding
Regalia.
A ludicrous situation resulted from
an accidental exchange of valises at the
Central depot here a day or two ago.
Two grips exactly alike were placed
uear together, one belonging to a
drummer and the other to a young man
bound for a fashionable wedding. In
the hurry of boarding trains an ex
change was made, of course. When
the wedding attendant went to array
himself in matrimonial regalia he was
astonished to find that his dress suit
had been transformed intv a red flan
'nel undershirt and a pair of blue sccks.
Upon the other hand the drummer had
to forego a change of raiment or else
solicit orders attired in a clawhammer
coat and otber wedding ‘‘trimmings,”’
the matter has since been adjusted.—
