DAWSON BIT THE DUST
The Fort Gaines Ball Team Won
Three Victories from the Ter
rell County Twirlers.
Dawson’s little neighbor, Fort
Gaines. has a ball team down there
with a keen appetite for victory, and
a good eye for the national sport.
How do these scores bear out the
statement ?
Fort Gaines 10-—-Dawson 2.
‘ Fort Gaines B—Dawson 2.
.~ Fort Gaines 9—Dawson 8.
The local team’s opponents were not
satisfied with anything but the entire
three games played on Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday on the Fort
Gaines diamond. In the first game
the scorer lost count of Dawson's
errors, and by the ninth inning Fort
Gaines’ runs were hard to keep up
with. Bishop pitched a good game
for Dawson, but his support went to
pieces. The game was caught for
Dawson by Roscoe Melton.
Thessecond game, 8 to 2, was almost
as big a vietory for the Clay county
crowd. Melton and Wright were
Dawson’s battery, and would have
done better work had they been given
any encouragement by the rest of the
team generally.
~ The third game of the series was
more interesting, and Fort Gaines
pulled a victory by only one run.
Bishop and Geise did good work in
the box and behind the bat for Daw
son.
Plans are nowon foot to arrange
a series of games with Fort Gaines in
Dawson within the next few days,
when it is expected that honors will be |
evened up. I

grocer ask for Supreme flour. Every
sack guaranteed.
DEATH OF MR. A. J. M'LENDON
Aged and Highly Respected Citizen
Joins the Innumerable Caravan.
In the death of Mr. Abraham J.
Me¢Lendon, which occurred at his
home eight miles east of Dawson Sat
urday morning, Terrell county lost
one of its oldest and most highly es
teemed citizens. The death summons
was unexpected, as the deceased, al
though he had been feeling badly for
several days, was able to be up and
attending to some of his duties.
Shortly before he breathed his last he
lay aecross his bed for a few minutes’
rest, which proved to be the eternal
sleep.
The interment took place at the
Macedonia burial ground Sun
day afternoon, Elder W. T. Everette
performing the last sad rites in the
presence of a large number of sorrow
ing relatives and friends.
At the time of his death Mr. McLen
don was 69 years old. He was a dea
con in the Macedonia Primitive Bap
tist church, and possessed a character
and personality that gave him the
respect and confidence of all who
knew him. He is survived by his
wife and six children, Messrs. John,
M. E. and Henry McLendon and Mrs.
Ed Coxwell of this county, and Mrs.
W. B. Coxwell gnd Mrs. J. M. Brim
of Lee county.
The News joins in the sincere ex
pressions of sympathy for the bereav
ed ones.
COTTON TAKES UPWARD TURN.
Several Bales Brought Upwards of
8 Cents This Week.
The bulls in the cotton market seem
to have taken a right about face and
the bears have been forced to get off
the prices, permanently it is hoped.
The market has shown a rising ten
dency for the past week that is very
encouraging.
The staple has been sold for 8; cents
in Dawson this week. There was no
market except the Liverpool quota
tions yesterday, as it was a national
holidayv.
Terrific Race With Death.
“Death was fast approaching,”
writes Ralph F. Fernandez of Tampa,
Fla., describing his fearful race with
death, ‘‘as a result of liver trouble
and heart disease, which had robbed
me of sleep and of all interest in life.
I had tried many different doctors and
several medicines, but got no benelit
until I began to use Electric Bitters.
So wonderful was their effect that in
three days 1 felt like a new man, and
today I am cured of all my troubles.”

Mass Meeting Did Nothing.
The mass meeting of the citizens of
Dawson called for Thursday after
noon adjourned without doing any
thing. Hon. J. W. F. Lowrey, in a
short statement, explained that the
meeting had been called with a view to
requesting the city authorities for
complete information concerning the
cost and extent of the proposed sewer
age system, but inasmuch as the coun
cil had already taken steps to do this
there was no need of any action on
the part ol the citizens who had as
sembled.
Many Received into the Church.
Twenty of those who applied for
membership into the Methodist church
during the recent series of revival
meetings were received into full fel
lowship Sunday morning. There was
no sermon, the hour of services being
taken up with the solemn ceremony of
taking in the candidates. There were
fourteen baptized and six received by
letter. Others, who could not be pres
ent Sunday, will be taken into the
churech later.
Important Notice.
All parties who are indebted to me
are urgently requested to settle with
in the next thirty days. All uncol
lected bills at that time will be placed
in the hands of an attorney. All
parties having work in my shop will
call for it at once, as I will close out
my business in Dawson.

away, and finally the entire: hand was
affected and became completely paral

COL. HAWKINS DIES SUDDENLY.
End Comes to a Useful and Widely
Known Citizen of Georgia.
From Saturday’'s Americus Times-Recorder.
The people of Americus will be
shocked this morning a% thelannounce
ment of the death of Col.
Samuel H. Hawkins. The end came
shortly before ten o’clock last night
at his residence on Hampton street,
and was probably the result of apo
plexy. Col. Hawkins had been in
feeble health for some time, and not
long since suffered an attack some
what similar to that which closed last
night his long and useful career.
During the week, however, he had
been upon the streets, and no one
dreamed that the end was so near.
Last night he was seized with pains in
his abdomen, and started to enter
another apartment, but fell and ex
pired ere he reached it. The entire
city and state will deplore the death of
this great man and pioneer citizen.
To the Ginners.
The members of the Terrell County
Ginners’ Association are requested to

tist church Sunday Rev. J. M. Long,
the pastor, was granted a two months’

on the return trip, reaching Boston
September 7.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR HYOMEI
Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now Than
at Any Other Season.
Now is the time to use Hyoinei,
when the early summer days make it
so easy to cure catarrhal troubles.
The Hyomei treatment, breathed for a
few minutes three or four times a day,
in May or June will do good twice as
quickly as it did in January, and near
ly everyone knows that if wused faith
fully then it completely rids the sys
tem of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of a neat
inhaler that can be carried in the
purse or vest pocket amd will last a
life-time, a medicine drovpper, and a
bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles of
Hyomei can be procured, if desired,
for fifty cents.
The Dawson Drug Co. gives their
personal guarantee with every Hyo
mei outfit they sell to refund the mon
ey if it does not give satisfaction.

Dear Sir: This story cuts two ways,
and teaches two sets of people.
Father Galvin, Westerly, R. 1., had

Good job: and this is how he went
at it:
Measured all carcfully-—seems to

Then got bids from the painters,
paint to be supplied by them and by
him.
Saved 370 by using Devoe.
One of those painters ought to have
got that money. Yours truly,
