THE MAYOR AND HIS FOXES
Story Printed in The News Has At
tracted State-Wide Attention. At
lanta Paper Wants His Picture.
The story of Mayor A. J. Hill's
foxes printed in last week’s News,
telling how this popular gentleman
had got together from various
sources a collection of young foxes
and turned them loose for future
sport, and was paying for chickens
devoured by them, has attracted
state-wide attention. The story has
been reproduced in many of the
newspapers. One of the daily pa
pers of Atlanta wired the mayor for
a full statue photograph of himself
and his age, and the Griffin News, one
of the prominent papers of middle
Georgia, says:
“From Dawson, down in Terrell
county, the home of Jim Griggs,
as well as Rainey, and the ex
home of Tobe Stevens and his son-in
law Mark Janes—comes a fresh tale
of that land of typical Georgia sports,
“There is no man in the state who
enjoys the excitement of a fox race
more than Mayor A. J. Hill of Daw
son, and there is no one to whom
the music of the baying pack is
sweeter. Some weeks ago he secured
several young foxes and turned them
loose to grow up and furnish him
futuressport, and now whenever any
chickens are killed in that commu
nity by a wild “varmint” a bill is
forthwith presented to him for the
missing fowls. So many of these
bills have come in that Mayor Hill
no longer enjoys the sight of fried
chicken on his table, and is anxious
for his fox hunting to begin.”
The mayor received a new fox a
few days ago to add to his collec
tion, but it escaped and the next day
a colored citizen was in town to in
form him that it had gotten among
his chickens and he was going to set
a; steel trap for it. Mr. Hill, hy
promising to go out and catch the
escape, satisfied the darkey, and that
night the yelp of his dogs afforded
delight to his soul as reynard raced
for his life.

CAPTAIN FULTON HURT.
Was Unconscious an Hour as Result
of an Accident.
Capt. Bob Fulton happened to
quite a serious accident Friday, and
though he was considerably bruised
up by his experience and has since
been confined to his home it will be
gratifying to his friends to know that
he is now getting along nicely.
While removing a shelter from
over an old well it fell on him, ren
dering him unconscious for an hour.
The small bone of his right leg was
broke just above the ankle, and a
nail snagging him in the temple
caused another painful hurt.
The captain’s friends, of whom
there are many, hope to see him out
again soon.

Will Make Dawson His Home.
Mr. B. G. Beavers, proprietor of
Beavers’ stables, has returned from
Kentucky after an absence of some
time, and actively taken charge of
his business here. His son, Mr. B.
H. Beavers, of Spokane, Wash., will
arrive this week and be associated
with him. Dawson is glad to have
these gentlemen as permanent resi
dents. They advertise elsewhere
that they have en route 25 good,
standard Kentucky horses and some
mules, and will be glad for all who
are interested to call at their stables
and see them.
A Wedding Announcement.
A wedding announcement of much
interest to their many friends is
ithat of Miss Jewel Durham and Mr.
W. L. Battle of Columbus. The wed
‘ding will be a lovely home affair at
‘the home of the bride on the fourth

of Dawson's most charming young

The Heart Throbs of Your Watch.
Just as the physician feels your
pulse to know if everything is all
right, whether the heart action is
too fast or too slow, so does the ex
pert watchmaker know whether the
heart action of your watch is correct
by the sound. The minutest irregu
larity is detected by the watchmaker
with knowledge and experience,
The man without this knowledge
and experience, whether he be a
physician, watchmaker or some other
trade or profession, is incapacitated
for the work he undertakes. The
least irregularity of the working
parts of your watch makes a differ
ence. If you don’t think much of
your watch or care whether it keeps
time it matters little where you have
it doctored. It will not cost any
more to begin with, and probably
less, to have it fixed right, at Adams’
Jewelry Store. The after effect will
be more satisfactory and less ex
pensive.
Try Adams’ Jewelry Store and see
if you will have any reason to re
gret.

THE GREATEST OF CHARITY.
Orphans’ Day in the Sunday Schools.%
Why You Should Give One Day ‘
in the Year to This Work.
The Sunday schools of Dawson
have received notice that Sunday,
October 4th., has been appointed as
Orphans’ Day, and one day of the
previous week as ‘“work day,” for the
benefit of these homes. The response
of the people of Dawson to the call
for help in this great cause will no
doubt, as usual, be liberal.
What would become of the 3,000
destitute children annually helped by
the Georgia orphan homes? Take
for instance: A poor child might
have come to your door in November
and said, ‘“Mama died last night,
and papa is nearly dead; please come
down there.” You went to the old
dilapidated house and found the
father dying, no food, the children
sleeping on the bare floor without a
foot of covering, one keeping up the
fire while the others tried to sleep.
The children were so dull and ill-fed
and dirty and neglected and lifeless
would you be willing to take them or
one of them to your own home?
Without these orphans’ homes you
might have had to take them or let
them starve.
Do not these and other arguments
show that every friend of God and
man ought to give the earnings of
one day in the year, the annual
Work Day for the orphans, to some of
the orphans’ home of Georgia? This
is asked by the following orphans’
homes: The Presbyterian Orphan
age for Georgia at Clinton, S. C.,
will observe Saturday, Sept. 26th.,
as work day. The Methodist homes
for north and south Georgia at De
catur and Macon, the Baptist at
Hapeville, the Christian at Baldwin,
the Hebrew at Atlanta, the Georgia
Industrial at Macon, the Episcopal
at St. Simons’ island and the Home
of the Friendless at Atlanta must
have your earnings of Saturday, Oc
tober 3rd.
