" Mr. H. B Grimshaw, superintend

')(The Central railroad is very plain

Jothing to improve its miserable pas
oy accommodations in Dawson.
R i T. S. Moi
The letter is from Mr. T. S. Moise,
seneral manager of the road, and he
®lainly says the Central ‘‘cannot
spend any money on a depot ‘z‘zt Daw
son at this time,’’ and ,thab the fa
cilities seem adequate.””
The letter from Mr. Moise does not
end the movemeny for better passenger
(ation accomwodations 1n Dawson
v any means. The people of Dawson
wlll not allow the matter to rest where
it is, and if the Central _ra.llroad per
sists in its refusal to afford the pub
lic relief the case now.pe.ndlng _before
the railroad commission will be
sushed to a conclusion.
Dawson is in earnest about better
passenger station facilities, and is
going to have them if possible.
ENLARGED TONSILS REMOVED.
Specialist in Dawson Gave a little
Girl Relief Monday Morning.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Roberts of Edi
son, Ga., came to Dawson Sunday,
and on Monday morning c'am'ied their
little dauchter, Janie Lioris Bobarts,
io the office of the specialist in Daw
con and had her tonsils, or the dis
eased portion of each, x'emov.ed.
Although Loris 1s only six years
old she was in full accord in having
the trouble that caused her to breathe
0 hard at night removed, and she
sat up good and strong in the sur
seon’s chair in the presence of Mrs.
J. . Joiner of Sasser and let the
work be done without a murmur.
Tonsiis enlarged, or diseased, are
a menace to future health, producing
throat diseases, and the stopping of
ear tubes, preventing hearing, and
causing deafness. Removing the di
seased portion of them at oncecauses
elief in breathing, cures throat
troubles, and stops loss of hearing.
The specialist feels that Loris is
eutitled to praise and comfort in her
breathing hereafter, which he says
she will surely get.
And he adds she will have far bet
ter health hereafter.

DEATH OF DR. GRAVES.
e
Prominet Citizen Passes Away After
Several Weeks Illness.
Dr. I. D. Graves, after an illness of
five weeks with cancer of the stomach,
died at his thome at Graves Station
Thursday night at 8 o’clock.
Dr. Graves was 61 years of age at
the time of his death, and had been a
resident of Terrell county 34 vears,
coming here from Newton county in
1872. During all this time he was
identified with the best interests of the
people among whom he lived. He
was a strict member of the Methodist
church and a man of deep piety. All
religious and moral movements had
his earnest support, and by his death
the county has iost one of its best and
most useful’ citizens.
He resided in his native county, New
ton, until he entered Emory college at
Oxford, which he left to join the con
federate army, in which he served
three years and surrendered with Lee
at Appomattox. After the surrender
he completed his course at Emory col
lege, attended the Georgia Medical
College at Augusta, and spent some
time at the University of New York.
Finding that the landed interests of
his family required his attention he
never regularly practiced his profes
sion. With the exception of seven
years—irom 1892 to 1899, when he was
in Newton county looking after the af
fairs of a deceased brother—
his entire life after completing
his education was spent in Terrell
county.
Dr. Graves was never married, and
is survived only by one sister, Miss
Cora Graves, who lived with him.
The remains left Graves Friday
night on the «entral train for New
ton county, where they were interred.
ASK THAT BOND ELECTION BE
DEFFERED FOR THE PRESENT
Say Existing Contracts Should Be
Completed Before Another Big
Debt Is Incurred. Many
Signatures Obtained.
Monlay there was putin circulation
for signatures a petition to the city
council asking that body to rescind its
action calling an election on bonds
for a sewerage system. Mr. W. H.
Davis, who had it in charge, says
nearly every one to whom it was
presented readily signed it.
The petitioners declare that they
wonld like to have sewers, but would
also ‘‘like to know that the city is.able
to bear the increased burden before it
is thrust upon us.’”’ They further say:
“‘Let us not issue more bonds until
the contract with the city for water
works has been completed, the extent
of the outlay it will require is known,
and we are able to take a complete
inventory of assets and see just where
we stand.”’
The petition will be presented to the
council at their meeting tonight (Tues
day ).
The News understands that about
150 signatures had been secured up to
Tuesday at noon, and the petition was
still being circulated. ‘
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Chairman Oxtord llssues a Call for
Next Saturday.
Chairman J. H. Oxford has issued
the following call for a meeting of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Terrell county:
“*A meeting of the Democratie E.\‘:-
ecutive Committee of 'l‘em'ell_count_v is
hereby called for next Saturday,
March 10, in the court house at Daw
son, at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose
of arranging for a primary and trans
acting such other business as may be
of importance to the party. Every

The Dawson News. Wednesday, March 7, 1906.
CITIZENS WILL VOTE ON SEWER
QUESTION APRIL 11.
The Proposed Bond Issue Is for Thirty
Thousand Dollars. All Voters Must
Register. Books Now Open.
Official notice of an election to de
termine whether the city shall issue
bonds for a sewerage system is print
ed elsewhere in The News.
The election iscalled for April 11th,
and the amount of bonds it is propos
ed to sell is $30,000, in denominations
of 81,000 each, the first bond maturing
November 1, 1907, and the last one
November 1, 1936.
To vote in this election it will be
necessary to register, and the books
are now open for that purpose. It
will take two-thirds of the registered
voters to carry the bonds, and of
course the number required cannot be
known until the books close ten days
before the election.
The result of the election at this
time is in considerable doubt. There
are ardent champions of a system of
sewers for the city, and on the other
hand there are quite a number of bus
}iness men who would ordinarily be
favorable to sewers, but who do not
think it advisable to increase the city’s
bonded indebtedness so soon after the
r&ent big issue for the purpose
of buying and enlarging the water
works system.
The indications are that it wili be
the most interesting bond election
Dawson has ever had.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
Professor Patterson Died While Sit
ting at His Fireside.
The manv friends of Professor G.
C. Patterson were shocked when they
learned of his sudden death Tuesday
morning while sitting by the fire at
his home in Doverel. He had been in
bad health for some time, suffering
with heart trouble, but was feeling
much better than usual Tuesday, and
was at the store of Lee & Thornton
chatting with friends less than an
hour before he died. Mrs. Patterson, |
who left Professor Patterson sitting
in front of the fire drinking a glass of
milk, had stepped into another room.
She heard the glass fall to the fioor,
and quickly returning found her hus
band lying with his head on the hearth
and life extinct. ;
Professor Patterson was 41 years of
age, and a member of the Presbyte
rian church. He was principal of the
Doverel high school, and was a man
who had many fine traits of character
and ‘enjoyed the respect and confi
dence of all who knew him.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church in Dawson Thurs
day aftermoon, conducted by Rev. J.
W. Quarterman, after which the Ma
ic lodge took charge of the remains
and interred them in Cedar Hill ceme
tery with the honors of that order.
The deceased is survived by a wife,
who has the sympathy of many
friends. o
