GOOD DIVIDENDS DECLARED.
Dawson Institutions Pay Handsome
Profits to Stockholders and Merit
l General Confidence.
1 Dawson’s three banks and the Daw
son Compress and Storage Co. have
’recently declared dividends which well
‘evidence their excellent management
iand sound condition. :
- The First State Bank has authoriz
ed the payment of a semi-annual divi
dend of 8 per cent. The Dawson
National Bank declared a 4 per cent.
semi-annual dividend. The City
National Bank paid its stockholders
5 per cent. as semi-annual profits on
their holding. The Dawson Compress
and Storage Co. issued a semi-annual
dividend of 4 per cent.
These showings are comparable to
those of any institutions in the state.
Dawson’s banking houses and other
big business enterprises are safe,
sound and progressive.
BIG POSTAL RECEIPTS.
Year's Business in Postoffice Shows a
Decided Increase.
The report of Postmaster Alexander
for the fiscal year ending June 30th
shows the largest amount of business
ever transacted by the Dawson office,
the total receipts being only a few
hundred dollars short of the sum nec
essary. to place the postoffice in the
rank of second class. |
The aggregate receipts from July 1,
1904, to July 1, 1905, were $7,285.95.
This shows an increase of $1,254.48
over those of the previous year, when
the business of the office was repre
sented by the amount of $6,331.47.
Receipts to the extent of $B,OOO are
necessary to entitle the office to en
trance into the second class. It will
thus be seen that the Dawson office
lacked only $414.05 of this amount.
There is very little doubt that the next
year will bring about this promo-.
tion.
~ Left for New York and Chicago.
Mr. Herman, the efficient cutter for
H. Schloss, left this morning for New
York and Chicago to take a special
course in the art of cutting. He will
return in about three weeks, bringing
with him some skilled tailors, as it is
Mr. Schloss’ purpose to make his
tailoring department the strong feat
ure of his business and shall execute
the most up-to-date and artistic work
ever made in this city. Mr. Herman
will go out on the road as soon as he
returns, with the most complete line
of fine goods ever exhibited in this
section, the most of which will be im
ported fabrics on the latest weaves
and newest patterns.—Eufaula Times.
Will Pass Hog Pen Ordinance.
At the meeting of the city council on
Tuesday an ordinance was introduced
making it unlawful for any person to
keep hogs in inclosed pens less than
forty feet square. This will probably
become a law at the next meeting of
council, and in the meantime proprie
tors of unclean hog pens will be pun
ished under the general nusiance ordi
nance. The mayor is determined that
the hog pen must go.
Death of Mrs. C. B. Phillips. |
We regret to chronicle the death
of Mrs. C. B. Phillips, which occurred
at Cordrays Sunday, after an illness
of several days from typhoid fever.
The remains were brought to Ran
dolph for interment, and laid to rest
in the Demascus cemetery, near town,
Tuesday morning. We deeply sym
pathize with our good friend, Charlie,
in the death of his beloved -vife.—
Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise.
With the Churches Sunday.
There were no preaching services ut
the Methodist cburch Sunday, the
pastor, Rev. O. F. Cook, being away
on vacation. Rev.J. A. Ivey was to
have filled the pulpit Sunday evening,
but was unable to do so. Rev. M. B.
L. Binion preached at the Baptist
church Sunday morning in the ab
;sence of the pastor, Rev. J. M. Long,
but there were no evening services.
Fodder Ten Years Old.
Filmore Johnson, a negro living on
the old Stiles place, several miles
south of Dawson, brought to The
News office Saturday six bundles of
fodder, raised ten years ago. His
corn and fodder crop has always been
a primary consideration and he al
ways has plenty and some left over.
His ‘‘hog and hominy'’ system have
made him comparatively prosperous.

A pleasant surprise party may be

TEN CENT COTTON HAS COME TO STAY
No More Cry of Hard Times in the Farmers’ Country. The Rise in
Price of the Staple Brings Joy to Everybody. '
The high price of cotton is a God
send to the farmers of this section of
our glorious country, and when you
see the broad smile on the farmer’s
face you couldn’t feel blue if you
tried. The farmer is the mainspring
of this section; everyone looks to the
farmer; we are dependent. When the
farmer has money the merchant has
money, the laborer has money—we all
have money, and when we have money
we feel good.
When we all have money we natur
ally think of the necessities and lux
uries of life. and of the pleasure we
can afford others.
Much happier is the birthday, or
the wedding, or the wedding anniver-l
sary when the friends and loved ones
can afford to remember them in an
appropriate manner.
A watch, a ehain, a diamond ring,
a silver service, rich pieces in cut
glass, a handsome gold or silver
mounted detachable umbrella, lockets
and chains and other things too nu
merous to mention which may be ap
propriate to numerous occasions will
be found at all times at Adams’ Jew

BICYCLES TO GO IN STREETS?
Bicyclists Exercised Over Proposed
Ordinance Prohibiting Riding of
Wheels on Sidewalks. |
~ An ordinance making it unlawful
for bieyelists to ride on the sidewalks,
has been introduced by Alderman
Deubler, and it may be that it will be
come a law at the next regular ment
ing of the council in August, when
final action on the proposed measure
will be taken.
Local wheelmen are very much dis
‘turbed over such a prospect and a pe
tition is being circulated among them
‘requesting the council not to pass
‘such a law., They set forth therein
‘that the bicycle is not only a conven
ience but a necessity and allege that
the passage of the proposed ordinance
would not only seriously hamper a
large number of citizens in the dis
charge of their every day duties, but
would almost destroy the business of
bicyele sellers and repairers, as most
of the bicyelists would in consequence
give up riding.
The petition carries two hundred
names, among which are those of
rsome of Dawson’s most prominent
citizens. The outcome of the matter
will be waited for with great interest.
