Judge Sheffied on the Bench.
Solicitor-General J. A. Laing, who
received notice the latter part of last
week that Judge Sheftield would be
on hand Monday morning and open
Clay court, left for Ft. Gaines Sun
day afternoon.
When Solicitor Laing left Dawson
he did not know whether it was Judge
Sheffield’s purpose to merely organ
ize the court and adjourn until a vis
iting judge could be secured to pre
side, or if it was his intention to un
dertake the work of the session.
Mr. Laing made every possible ef
fort to get a judge to hold Clay court,
but none of the judges of the other
circuits would consent to come.

DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1906.
‘ e e
FRIGHT CAUSED BY SWOLLEN
CREEK WAS FATAL TO LADY.
Was En Route from Parrott to Plains
to Visit Relatives and Succumbed
to Attack of Heart Trouble.
Mrs. David Slappey of Florida
died suddenly in the northern part of
Terrell county a few days ago of
heart trouble.
Mrs. Slappey had been on a visit to
her daughter, Mrs. McCann, of near
Parrott, and, in company with a
grandsons started by private convey
ance to Plains to join her husband,
who was visiting relatives there. Upon
reaching Kinchafoonee creek, at Hall’s
bridge, it was found that the stream
was considerably swollen by reason
of the recent heavy rains, and the
boy left his grandmother to see if the
creek could be crossed in safety.
When he returned he found that Mrs.
Slappey had lapsed into an uncon
scious state. She was hastily moved
to a nearby house and a physician
summoned, but she died in a short
time without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Slappey was subject to heart
trouble, and it is believed that the
attack which caused her death was
brought on by the excitement and fear
experienced at the creek.
The deceased was about 70 years
of age. Her remains were interred in
the cemetery at Parrott.
Mrs. Slappey, with her husband,
formerly resided in Terrell, and had
many friends in the county who will
regret to learn of her tragic death.
IN MEMORY OF MRS. HOLDER.
Rev. M. B. L. Binion Pays Tribute to a
Recently Deceased Neighbor. |
Mrs. Mamie Holder, wife of Bryon
Holder and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Hannah, departed this life at
home, in Terrell county, on August 18,
1906. She was born on February 2,
1882, and on February 1, 1903, was
married to Mr. Holder byithe writer.
In eariy life she united with the Meth
odist church. After her marriage she
lived in our immediate community, so
that we all knew her well, and she was
appreciated and loved by all. We
can but sorrow [for her, but not as
those that have no hope. We believe
that she is with Jesus, which is far
better. May the bereaved relatives
realize the sufficiency of divine grace.
May God spare the little motherless
‘babe, and fit her for usefulness here
and happiness hereafter.

I NEW DRUG FIRM.
Messrs. Horsley Buy Farrar Stock and
Will Run an Up-to-Date Store.
' Messrs. J. A. Horsley and son, Mr,
Jesse Horsley, have bought from Dr.
W. B. Cheatham the C. E. Farrar
stock of drugs, and will conduct an
up-to-date drug store under the name
of the Horsley Drug Co.
Mr. Jesse Horsley, who will have
the active management of the business,
has been with the Albany Drug Co.
for a number of years, and is an ex
perienced and competent drug man.
Enterprising and progressive, he will
conduct an up-to-date pharmacy inev

DISPENSARY MANAGERS.
Annual Election Wi!l Occur on First
l Tuesday in October.
' On the first Tuesday in next month
‘the board of dispensary commission
ers will elect managers of the several
dispensaries in the county for the en
‘suing year.
+ The present managers.are J. C.
Dozier at Dawson, H. E. Williamson
at Bronwood, J. T. Thornton at Par
rott and Wm. Mount at Sasser. These
are all capable men and have filled
‘their positions very satisfactorily, and
I so far as is known now will not have
any opposition for re-election.
An interesting question, however,
’that the board of commissioners will
very probably have to decide is
\wbether they will employ the mana
‘gers for a full year, or elect them
‘subject to the result of an election on
‘the dispensary, if one is held. ¢ i
There is not much doubt that the dis
‘pensary will be voted on in the next
few months, and it is possible that the
‘election will be held as early as De
cember. |

wide reputation for good |
cooking because ‘“they |

have the wit to keep |
fresh olive oil in the ‘
home and know how to I
use it.”” And so the!
American housewife
could easily attain a sim- |
ilar reputation for much ]
skill in many home com- |
forts did she but appreci- |
ate the many excellencies |
that lie in good refined |
cotton seed oil. ‘
