“Don’t K
on now
Such a Cold”
Most of us have heard this ex
pression many times.
Did you ever notice that the
Don’'t kn.w how I got it cold
is a bad one to get over? That
before you are through with the
hoarseness, the cough, the “tight
feeling,” the general discomfort,
and the out of sorts sensations,
you are apt to have another such
cold, and so on until it hangs on
for weeks?
These colds mean that your sys
tem is out of gear. They usually
precede serious diseases like con
sumption, bronchitis. They are
dangerous.
We have found a remedy for all
sorts of colds, coughs, that is not
a so-called cough-cure. It does
nct stupefy with opium, nor fill
the system with vicious drugs.
It is Vinol. We are perfectly
willing to tell any inquirers at our
store what it is made of and how
we came to take hold of it.
It certainly does the work. Old
coughs go off like magic. It even
relieves people far gone in con
sumption. People right in town
have provedit. We sell it subject
to guarantee money back if it
doesn’t help you. Isn't it foolish
to put the matter off ?
BELL BROS,
Uruggists,
will be answered by the secretary of
the association, and a copy of ‘‘Geor
gia Illustrated” wilt be mailed the in
quirer. Every city, town or county
which has a membership in the asso
ciation will be furnished the list of all
inquirers and all given anequal show
ing. The book, ‘‘Georgia Illustrated”
will be limited to one hundred pages,
edited by the best talent in the state.
The names of eyery person writing to
the main office will be sent weekly to
subscribers, together with the ques
tions they ask, and every counoty and
city must use its own wethods of ad
vertising.
The sum of $lO,OOO is to be expended
in advertising Georgia, this amount to
be raised by Atlanta and by the coun
ties of the state. Atlanta merchants
gave $2,000 of this, and the Atlanta
city council $2,500, leaving the re
mainder to be contributed by the lead
ing counties of Georgia.
Atlanta, Macon, Valdosta, Albany,
Waycross, Dawson, and in fact all of
the leading cities of the state, sent
delegates,
Not a line of personal advertising
will be inserted in the book, and some
Georgia writers of national fame will
contribute to its pages.
Deposits in Dawson Amount to
More Than a Quarter of a
Million Dollars.
Terrell county people have money
locked up the vaults. The statements
of *he two national banks of the city,
published elsewhere in The News,
show deposits amounting to $262,611,
an inquiry at the other bank, the First
State, shows that the total amount of
money on depositin Dawson is $342,000.
This is an unusually large amount of
money to be on deposit at this season
of the year, and shows that the people
of Terrell county are really prosper=
ous. A considerable per cent of this
money, too, was deposited by the farm
ers of the county.

FAVORS HANNA'S BILL. |
Colonel Irwin an Enthusiastic
Advocate of Slave Pensions.
Colouel John R. Irwin of Dawson is
an enthusiastic advocate of the prop
osition to pension ex-slaves, and has
let his views be known through a com
‘munication which was published in
‘Thursday’s Atlanta Constitution. Fol
lowing 18 the colonel’s article: ‘
i “Editor Constitution: This proposi
‘tion to pension the old negro slaves is
‘beginning to interest some of the tax
payers through this section of Geor
gla. :
“Hundreds of them are drawing pen
sions now from the pockets of the
hard-pressed farmers throughout the
state and those who pav these pensions
and those of us who bury them and
furnish food and clothing, medicine
and pay doctore’ bills for the old aad
helpless among them, can’t see what
the objection to allowing vhe general
government to assume the enforced
burden.
““And I desire to ask you to give me
some good business reason why the
proposition to pension them is not
richt, proper and fit. As a matter of
right, many deserve it. If not, then
our officials in many counties of Geor
gia are doing wrong in giviog them
pensions from the county treasury.
“What of 1t as a business proposi
tion? These old people live among
us; whatever they receive must be
spent among us, and with the propos
ed pension law in force they would be
come a most prolific source of revenue
instead of a burdensome expense.
“A million dollars or more vearly
scattered through the state put in the
chaonels of business, as evidently
would be the result of the passage of
the law, gives to the Hanna bill a
charm that at least is inveresting.
“The bill, or at least this proposi
| tion to pension the old slaves,deserves
a little attention from those in the
southern states who are burdened
with their care, maintenance and sup
port. Yours truly,
«“JoHN R. IRWIN.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Lillie Brown Shot in the Head
by Jealous Lover.
Lillie Brown, a une¢ro woman who
lives in Mr. Fovy Watkins’ back vard,
in tkis city, came near losing her life
at the hands of a jealous iover Meonday
night.
The woman, who cooks for Mr. Wat
kins, was called from his kitchen by
Will Potter, her dusky lover, while the
family were eating supper. Potter
was standing in Mr+ Watkins’ back
yard and when the woman was near
him he raised his pistol and fired two
shots at her, one of them taking effect
in the left side of her face, striking
she cheek bone and ranged around
it, inflicting a painful though not
necessarily fatal wound.
Dr. Goneke, who was summoned to
dress the wound of the woman, suc
ceeded in locating the ball under a
bone, but as it could notv be secured
without removing the bone, let it re
main. Dr Goneke says it the ball had
taken effect ;an inch above or below
where it entered the wound would have
been fatal.
Potter skipped after the shoot.ingi
and had not been captured at the time
of going to press.
BEE HIVE AGAIN BUSY.

LN CONSUMPTTION: b
TO BEAUTIFY CEMETERY.
Worthy Movement Inaugurated
by Dawson Ladies,
The following card from a well
known Dawson lady speaks for itself,
and The News publishes it without
comment:
EDITOR DAWSON Nrws—Please
mention in your paper the fact that
the ladies of Dawson have a moyement
on foot to beautify the city cemetery.
At a meeting held at the Baptist
church last Wednesday they decided
to petition the council to aid them in
this movement. They realize the fact
that the street overseer does what he
can with the time at his command, but
Dawson is a growing citv and can no
longer do with the ways of a small
town. There is not a town in Georgia
of equal size and enterprise that boasts
of so aeglected a spot for a cemetery.
Outside of the sentiment attached to
this, the ladies are ashamed to carry.
vigsitors to Dawson’s cemetery, and
they mean to leave no stone unturned
to make their city of the dead as at
tractiye as possible.
- [ was asked to request you to print
an article something after the above
8o that the ladies who were not able
to attend the meeting last week will
know what we are planning to do. We
shall be under obligations to vou.
Respectfully, MRs. E. T. JORDAN.
