RAINES ENL
GRAND JURY HIGHLY COMPLI
MENTS DAWSON ATTORNEY.
strongly Commends Him as a Suita
ple successor to Judge Sheflield,
Wwho Will Retire from the Bench.
\though a suceessor to Judge H.
(. Shetiield, who has signified his in
wntion of reffring frem the bench of
the Pataula eiveuit at the close of his
presert term, will not bp chosen until
nest vear the people are already
takine a lively interest in the matter.
As is well-known, Judge A. M.
Raines of the City Court of Dawson
announced sometime ago that he
would offer for the position, and the
news of his candidacy has been re
ceived with much favor. Many assur
ances of support have come to him
from every county of the circuit, and
there s no room to doubt that he will
run a strong and, as his friends be
lieve, a winning race. Judge Raines
will enter the race with the united
support of his home people, whose‘
opinion of him as a man and a lawyer
is fairly represented by the following
extract from the presentments that
were made by the grand jury of Ter
rell county on Monday:
“We learn with regret that his hon
or, Judge H. C. Sheftield, will retire
a4t the expiration of his present term.
He nas made an able, faithful and
conscientious judge, and while we
regret to lose his services” we are
pleased to know that Judge A. M.
Raines, the very able and efficient
judge of the City Court of Dawson, will
be a candidate to succeed him. We
recognize in Judge Raines a man of
wonderful common sense and good
Judgment, and one well fitted, both by
experience and training, for the re-s
sponsinle position of judge of the su
perior court of this eireuit. During
the last three years he has been judge
ofthe City Court of Dawson, and has
discharged the duties of this respon
sible position in an able, fearless and
conscientious manner, and to the per
fect satisfaction of all law abiding
people. Our only regret at his eleva
tion to the superior court bench would
be that we would lose his services as
Jjudge of the City Court of Dawson.
We commend him to the people of this
¢reult as an able, honest and fear
less Judge, well worthy to follow the
long line of distinguished men who
have presided over our courts.”’
L e tribute to Judge Sheftield by
| the grand jury in the above was also
Well deserved, and The News feels sure
tat it voices the sentiment of the peo-
Pie of the county, nearly all of whom
are nis sineere friends and admirers.

WALKED MANY MILES TO ATTEND COURT
A Number of Farmers Trudged to Dawson Monday Morning in
Order Not to Take Their Mules Out of Grassy Fields.
Rather than take their mules from
work in the fields a number of farmers
whose attendance on court was neces
sary walked to Dawson Monday morn
ing. Among this number was one cit
izen who arose before 4 o’clock to be
gin a pilgrimage of more than twelve
miles, arriving in Dawson at 8 o’clock
and answering ‘‘here’’ to the roll call
of jurors on time.
This is possibly without precedent
in the county’s history, and but shows
the terrible condition of the ¢rops in
this section. A great many of them
are literally taken by the grass, and
the cessation of work for even a short
while would result disastrously.
The importance, therefore, of keep
BRONWOOD SCHOOL: TO CLOSE.
An Interesting Program on Next Wed
nesday, May 31. Two Graduates.
Bronwood High School will close
Wednesday, May 31, with the gradu
ating exercises Wednesday morning
and a recital by the music class that
night. There will be two graduates,
Miss Kate Collins and Mr. Will
Gunnels, both of Bronwood. Miss
Collins, in her graduating paper, will
tell why Bronwood should have a
town library, and Mr. Gunnels will

ington and the lesson to be learned
therefrom. The address to the grad
uates will be delivered by Superinten
dent J.* R. Hankins of the Dawson
schools.
The music for the exercises will be
furnished by Miss Bessie Lou Sears
and her music class. At the recital
at night a slight admission charge
will be made to help pay for the piano.
The school has had a most success
ful session under Professor R. B.
Huffaker and his assistants. ’
Death of a Good Woman.
Mrs. Georgia Hay died May 12th,
1905. Her home was at Moultrie. She
was a good woman loved by many
friends, and was a member of the Bap
tist church. She had a sweet disposi
tion and a lovable character. The
deceased was 42 years of age, and
leaves a husband and six children, an
aged father,and two brothers to mourn
her death. Her father is a well known
citizen of Terrell county, Mr. James
MeCracken.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved s stilled,
A place is vacant in our home:
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has-recalled
The boon His love has given,
And though her body lies molding here
Her soul is safe in Heaven.

'ing every hand and mule busy will be
readily seen, and it was this fact that
made the farmers choose to trudge
many miles rather ;than ride and let
their crops suffer.
The crops of the county are perhaps
in the worst condition on record. The
constant rains of a few weeks ago de
veloped a multitude of grass blades
and in some instances it has been al
most a hopeless task to rid the cotton
of them. Rather than attempt it
many farmers plowed up their cotton
and the grass along with it and re
planted. Rain to .any extent at this
juncture will mean the ruin of many
crops and incalculable damage to
others. r - |
PREPARING TO SHIP PEACHES.
Fruit Crop Will Be Good and Terrell
County Growers Will Profit.
The owners of peach -orchards in
Terrell county are making prepara
tions to begin exporting their products
to eastern and northern markets. An
other good fruit year is welcomed in
this section, and the peach men are al
ready looking forward to good profits
from their shipments.
Already some of the early fruit is
beginning to blush with the first tint
of ripening, and soon the queenly
Elberta will take on the tint of pink
and go forward to an admiring and
appreciative market. Many crates of
the delicious fruit will be shipped
from Dawson and other points in
Terrell county, and in return many
sheckles shipped back.

BOND ISSUE A;‘.Vl) CITY CHARTER
AMENDMENTS TO BE DISCUSSKD.
Will Be Held at the Court House om
‘Bhursday Afternoon. A Large |
Attendance Is Requested.
The foilowing call for a mass meet
ing of the citizens of Dawson on
Thursday afternoon was brought to
the News oftice for publication by a
number of prominent gentlemen:
“To the People of Dawson:
“You are earnestly requested
to meet at the court house on
Thursday afternoon, the 25th inst,
at 4 o’clock, to discuss the pro
posed bond issue, and amendments
to the city charter. These are
matters of grave importance to
Dawson, and free discussion and
exchange of opinions are much de
sired. Let there be a full attend
ance. “J. W. F. LOWREY,
‘“W. B. CHEATHAM,
“H. A. WILKINSON,

SF. M DAVIS,
‘‘R. L. MELTON,
‘W, C. PASCHAL,
“WM. KAIGLER,
A, P. HATCHER:'
The signers of this call are among
Dawson’s most prominent citizens and
business men, and the fact that their
names appear as sponsors for the
meeting is a guarantee that, as is
stated, the meeting will be one of im
portance and general public interest.
Just what amendmeuts to the city
charter will be proposed The News is
not in a position to say, but we under
stand that there will be more than one.
Fveryone knows what the proposed
bond issue is for, but there is a lack
of information as to what will be the
extent of the proposed sewerage sys
tem and its cost that has caused a
general desire among the people and
taxpayers to know something of the
details.
All of these matters are of public
concern, ~and of a character that
should insure a large attendance
Thursday afternoon.
ANNIE ABBOTT ASTONISHES.
Many Marvelled at \i’ond(‘rful Work
of Georgia Woman.
Many expressions of amazement
were incident to the appearance of
Annie Abbott, popularly styled the
“Little Georgia Wonder,”' at the
opera house in Dawson Monday night.
A fairly large audience witnessed the
exhibition of the strange power.
The feats performed certainly could
not be attributed to physical power,
for they were above and beyond it.
Miss Abbott is apparently the possess
or of a mysterious and mighty force,
an exact explanation of which has
never vet been successfully attempted.
Those who witnessed its expression
here marvelled greatly.
