SASSER HAD SMALIL BLAZE.
Two Seed Houses and Several Awn
ings to Stores Were Blown Down.
Sasser was visited by a small
storm Thursday afternoon, and at
one time much uneasiness was felt
and it was feared the fury of the
wind would result in great damage.
As it was, however, the storm
passed without doing anything very
serious. Two cotton seed houses bhe
longing to the Southern Cotton Oil
Company of Dawson were blown
down, and fell on a couple of Sea
board Air Line freight cars that were
standing on a sidetrack nearby. On
the business street of the town the
awnings to the stores of Messrs. W.
Jd. Bowen. J. H. Davis and G I.
Spann were torn from the buildings.
Some trees were uprooted, and many
fences were swept away.
Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indi
ana, writes: ‘“Last year I suffered
for three months with a summer cold
8o distressing that it interfered with
my business. I had many of the
symptoms of hay fever, and a doc
tor’s prescription did not reach my
case, and I took several medicines
which seemed only to aggravate it.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly
cured me. My wife has since used
Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same
success.”” Dawson Drug Co. and Peo
ple’s Drug Store.
Off to the Legislature.
Representative Jno. R. Mercer
left on Monday for Atlanta, and was
present vesterday when the extra
session of the legislature called by
Governor Smith convened for the
purpose of disposing of the convict
question. How long the session will
last no one knows; it may be one
week, or three weeks, or longer.
While the governor can state what
subjects may be considered at an
extra session he has no authority to
say when the legislators shall or
shall not adjourn.
Death of Mrs. Summerford.
Mrs. John Summerford died at the
home or her son-in-law, Mr. J. N.
Bolton, in Graves Monday morning,
and the interment was in the cem
etery at, Parrott. Mrs. Summerford
was a paralytic, and had been a suf
ferer for a number of years. She
grew worse some days ago, and her
death was,not unexpected.
Two Land Sales.
Mr. Robert Allen has sold his
farm of 100 acres near Bronwood
to Mr. George Stokes for $4,200, and
Prof. W. G. Mauk of Sasser has sold
the Ben Asbury place in the Third
district, containing S 0 acres, to Mr.
J: R. Bridges for $2,000.
Texas' blacksmith candidate for
governor polled 125,000 votes, and
spent $9. If he had not been so
tightwadish and had made it $l9 he
might have won.

LOCAL LAWS AND NEAR LAWS
j e e et

and One Failed in Committee.
There were an even half dozen

latter was the measure seeking to
abolish the city court.
The bill repealing the special act
that was passed in 1869 making the
roads of Terrell county only twenty
feet wide was passed, and the public
highways are now thirty feet, the
standard width; the bill to abolish
the water and light commission of
Dawson went through, and this de
partment of the city government will
20 out of existence on January Ist.
next, and a resolution to relieve
Terrell county of nearly $l,OOO whis
key tax that was due the state when
the dispensaries were closed was
passed.
Representative Mercer declined to
introduce the bill that was adver
tised by the city council to work the
county convicts on the streets of
Dawson, and the one of the city
board of education to make the may
or a member of that body.
