CITY NATIONAL BANK
!
OPENS ITS DOORN.
NEW INSTITUTION BEGAN BUSINESS
ON MONDAY MORNING.
Flattering Prospects for Dawson’s Latest
Enterprise, Which Will Mect With
Commendation and Support
of the Public.
Dawson’s new bank, the City
National, opened its doors Monday
morning for the transaction of busi
ness, with a paid in capital of $65,-
000.
In poiut of appearance the new
institution is one of the most attrac
tive in the state, reminding one of
some of the big banking houses in
larger cities. The vestibuled en
trance ends in a solid plate glass
front, the doors of which lead into
the interior of the bank, where un
usually attractive fixtures greet the
eye. The vaults and safes are of
the latest and most approved style, ,
insuring safety and satisfaction to
the bank’s patrons. i
A nev departure in Dawson is
the installation by the City National
of a system of safety deposit boxes.
"These may be rented at a nominal
price, and in them may then Dbe
placed papers or any other valu
ables which the renter of the box
may wish to render per fectly secure
against theft, fire or other casual
ty.
Mr. John Mercer Bell is presi
dent of the City National, which is
in itself a guarantee that the affairs
of this latest candidate for public
favor will be conducted with energy,
faithfulness, enterprise and conser
vatism. Mr. Bell is also president
of the First State Bank, and the re
putation he has made in that capac- |
ity is an earnest of the work he In
tends to perform as head of the af
fairs of the new bank.
Mr. W. H. Davis 1s vice presi
dent of the City National, He is
senior partner of the firm of the
Davis-Davidson Company, and one
of Dawson’s leading and most suc
cessful business men and financiers.
He is too well known and his repu-.
tation too well established in Daw
#on and throughout Terrell county
for it to be necessary to speak fur
ther in detail.
Mr. Kenneth S, Worthy is cash.
ier. Mr. Worthy has been for sey
eral years the book-keeper for Me-
Lain Bros. and Co., and is one of
the most prominent and capable
young business men of Dawson.
The following parties hold the
stock of the City National:
J. R. Meroer, J. M. Bell, H. A,
Wilkinson, A. J. Hill, N. L,
Stapleton, Mrs. J. L. S¢apleton, 1.

Paine’s Celery
CURES RHEUMATISM.
Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inflammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine’s
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. It is the only
medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. Faine’s Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine’s
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo., was permanently cured by
Paine’s Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:—
“I am 64 years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis 27 years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, I have served in the
Engineers’ Department as Inspector. Last
winter I contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. I tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until I struek Paine’s Celery Compound,
which has made a permanent cure in my case.
1 have recommended it to many, and they
have used it with the same result.”

" The establishment of the City
National Bank 1s but another indis
putable evidence of Dawson’s
growth and progress. There were
already two banks, both with large
capital, but it was evident that the
field was large enough for another
one, and to this demand is due the
City National.
That it will be in every way a
sucocess there is no reasonable doubt.
The News greets Dawson’s new
enterprise and joins with the entire
city and county in wishing 1t pros
perity and a long life,
MARRIAGES IN 1902.
Record of Nuptials Last Year
Slightly Behind That
ot 1901,
The‘year just closed was not alto
gether as good a oune for marriages as
was 1901. The figures, however, show
but a slight difference.
Although it is quite usual to hear
that prosperity is everywhere, and
though prosperity is said to be one of
Hymen'’s most yaluable assistants, the
number of marriages celebrated in
Terrell county in 1902 shows a falling
off from the record of 1901. However,
the accumulated deficiency, as the
weather man said, is only 7.
In 1901 there were 296 marriage li
censes issued, and in the past year
289. Of tnese 235 in 1901 and 245 1n 1902
were granted to negroes, while the
white marriages were only 61 in 1901
and 44 in 1902.
It will be noticed that during the
two years the number of white people
who had married has decreased, while
she negro marriages have increased.
LAND TRANSFERS.

Mr. Baldwin nine acres of land in front

THE PARROTT HIGH SCHOOL.
Opened Monday With an En
rollment of 109.
The Parrott High School opened
Muaday morning with an enrollment
of 109 pupils. The teachers are very
much gratified over this increase 1n
the attendance, and seem even more
enthusiastic 1n their work than last
year. ;
Parrott is healthfully located in the
center of a large school territory,
and we do not hesitate to predict that
Parrott will soon have a school that
will reflect honor on the town and sur
rounding community if the interest in
achool matters improve in the spring
as it did Inthe fall term.
. No Run for Six Weeks.
It has been about six weeks since
Dawson's efficient fire department has
answered an alarm, and the laddies
are becoming rather inclined to be
restless under this ipactivity. No
town in the state has a better depart
ment than Dawson, and when the next
oceasion arises it will demonstrate, as
heretofore, its worth to the city,
which has caused it to be so much ap
preciated in municipal affairs.

SPECIFIC TAXES NOW DUE.
Tax Collector Gets a Letter of
Instruction.
Tax Collector H. O. Thornton has
received from Controller General
Wright a letter of instruction as to
the collection of specific taxes due the
state on January 1 by persons engaged
in businesses on which these taxes are
levied. X
The controller general calls atten
tion to the fact that the specific taxes
must be paid on or before January 1 of
the year during which business is to
be done, or at the time of commencing
business. Inthis respect the payment
of specilic taxes differs widely from
that of advalorem taxes.
The registration of those engaged in
businesses on which specific taxes are
imposed by the state is now in prog
ress in the office of the ordinary of
the county. Now the taxes must be
paid, the law making it 8 misdemeanor
to engage in specially taxed businesses
without this preliminary to their
transaction.
AT THE_BAPTIST CHURCH.
New Pastor Will Occupy the Pul
pit Next Sunday.

services at the Methodist church was
consequently large, and good congre
gations heard the pastor, Rey. O F.
Cook, Sunday morning and night.
Mr. Loug reached Dawson with his
family Monday, and will occupy the
Baptist pulpit next Sunday.
SPECIFIC TAXES FOR 1903.
No Changes of Importance Will
Be Recommended.
The finance committee appointed at
the last regular meeting of the city
council to report a specific tax ordi
nance for adoption by the council will
render its report at the meeting to
night (Tuesday).
‘ There will be no changes of anv
importance recommended, and the
schedule of licenses for 1903 will re
main practically the same.
