iTS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
el
WILL BE CELEBRATED BY CHIC
ASAWHATCHEE CHURCH.
A Reunion of the People Who Have
worshiped at This Religious
pandmark. Event Will Be
Interesting One.
Friday, September 25th., will be
ity years since the Chickasaw
hatchee Primitive Baptist church, one
mile east of Dawson, was constituted,
.nd preparations are being made
ror appropriately celebrating the im
portant event. Elder W. T. Everett,
who has served the church for many
vears during his ministry, is its pres
ent beloved pastor.
1t is proposed to have a reunion
of all now living who have wor
shiped there, and the following pro
sramme has been arranged for the
interesting occasion: Preaching by
Ilder R. H. Jennings from 10:30 to
11:30 a. m.; conference and report
of committee on records of the
¢hurch heard; intermission for din
ner. After dinner there will be a
<ong and prayer service, followed
with short talks by members and vis
iting brethren, after which Mr. Miles
Blackshear will give a short lesson
in the old “Sacred Harp” to remind
one of the soul-stirring melody in the
songs of long ago. Benediction.
Everybody is invited to attend and
carry well-filled baskets, and enjoy
the day with these good people.
Chickasawhatchee Primitive Bap
tist church is one of the religious
landmarks of this section, and in
pioneer days when this country was
sparsely settled people came there
from miles around to worship. Its
membership has always been com
posed of many of our best and most
substantial citizens, and the influence
it has exerted for good can scarcely
be estimated.
That a large crowd will be pres
ent to take part in and enjoy this his
toric event on the 25th. there is no
doubt.
NO MORE NEAR BEER.
Dawson Sellers of the Suds Have
Discontinued Business.
Although dealers had until October
Ist., under the new city ordinance
prohibiting its sale, to dispense near
beer Saturday saw the end of the
business in Dawson, and since then
there has been nothing doing at the
counters where the cold and foamy
suds were once dispensed to the
jaded and thirsty wayfarer.
Some of the dealers thought at
one time that they would attack the
action of the council in the courts,
but later decided that they did not
care to pay the state $2OO for the
Irivilege of selling beer from now
until January Ist.
Recently there has been a good
deal of drinking in vawson. Many
tases of drunkenness have been re-

COUNTY MAY BUY A FARM.
Wants Home for Paupers and Place
to Raise Supplies for Convicts.
The county commissioners are con
sidering the purchase of a farm for
a home for the paupers and to raise
supplies for the chaingang and the
road mules. The members of the
board spent a recent day inspecting
a number of places they have in
view, and no doubt will determine
at the October meeting just what
they will do in the matter. If they
buy a farm one of from one hundred
to two hundred acres will be what
they will get.
Until a few years ago the county
owned a farm on which it kept pau
pers, but sold it and has since given
these beneficiaries of public bounty
a small amount of money or bought
rations for them, each month.
Nearly 900 Bales of Cotton Were Re
ceived Here Saturday, and People
Came by the Thousands.
The busy fall season is on in full
blast, and the prospects for a good
business in Dawson are very encour
aging.
Saturday a week ago more than a
thousand bales of cotton were
brought in from the surrounding
farms, and last Saturday was another
big day, the receipts reaching 893
bales.
Thousands of peeple were here
from a half dozen counties, and in
the stores and on the streets could
be seen the old-time appearance of a
busy Fall, and the merchants were
feeling good over the splendid busi
ness.
The merchants of Dawson have
all bought splendid stocks, and in
every store the shopper will find
complete lines attractively arranged
and at prices that will bring a great
deal of trade here this season.
COTTON RECEIPTS 9,327 BALES.
Very Little Change Has Occurred in
the Price.
Dawson's warehouse receipts by
wagon Tuesday at noon were 9,327
bales. y
There has been very little change
in the market the past week. At the
time of going to press the quotations
were: Fully good middling 87%,
good middling 834, fully middling
853%.
DEATH FROM ACCIDENT.
Highly Esteemed Lady Dies as Result
of Breaking Hip.
Mrs. Hortense Bryant died at the
home of her son, Mr. J. W. Bryant,
in Bronwood on Monday night -of
last week as the result of an acci
dent sustained that morning. While
getting up one of her feet became
entangled in the bed clothes, result
ing in her falling violently to the
floor and one of her hips being
fractured.
Mrs. Bryant was the mother of
Messrs, J. W. and C. N. Bryant of
Bronwood, and Mrs. 1.. A. Houser
of Perry, and was once a resident
of Dawson. She had long been a
consistent member of the Baptist
church, and was esteemed and ad
mired by a large circle of friends
and acquaintances for her many es
timable traits of character. The in
terment occurred in the New ceme
tery at Bronwood.
The Geiger Music Club Entertained.
The Geiger Music Club delight
fully entertained Friday evening at
Miss Chap Saville's studio on Church
street complimentary to twe of its
members, Misses Annie Mae Chris
tie and Estelle Melton, who will leave
this week for college. The evening
was informally spent in making
fudge, and in merry conversation.
Cream and cake were served at the
close of the evening. Misses Christie
and Melton are very attractive mem
bers of the younger social set, and
have many friends who will regret
giving them up for the winter.
When Trifles Become Troubles.
If any person suspects that their
kidneys are deranged they should

IT COST THE STATE $1,600
’ ‘
DID READING OF A LONE BILL IN
LEGISLATURE SATURDAY.
A Dozen Assemblymen Were on Hand
to Hear It. Extra Session Reached
End of Third Week. Nothing Done.
ATLANTA, September 12.—The
reading of one bill for a second time
in the presence of about a dozen leg
islators is what the tax-payers of the
state got for the $1,600 session of
the legislature Saturday. The mem
bers of the senate and the majority
of those in the house earned their
$4 per by going home for the week
end. As they get paid for Sundays
each draws practically $8 for the
simple performance of one bill be
ing read.
A ten-minutes’ session of the house
of representatives constituted the
full quota of work on the convict
problem for this day, although the
special session has now been on foy
practically three weeks at a cost ¢f
more than $30,000, with the end _a
little less in sight than at the begin
ning.
The senate, which had a house
bill in hand ten days before the regu
lar session closed, which had another
convict bill in hand four days after
the special session began, which has
refused to give countenance to the
recommendations of its own confer
ence committee, spent the day in
blissful non-attendance. No session
of that dignified body was held, al
though the expense to the tax-payers
for the two days intervening between
sessions amounted to more than
$1,500.
The state treasurer has notified
the governor that some kindly dis
posed and patriotic bank must be in
duced to help the state along until
the people’s contributions begin com
ing in. However, the treasury is not
yet quite depleted, and will be able
to weather the special session for
another week or two.
Monday Was Wasted—Senate Met
and Adjourned.
ATLANTA, Sept. 14.—The legis
lature began anew on an entirely
new convict bill today. It was in
troduced in the senate and will be
taken up for discussion there to
morrow morning. The morning and
afternoon sessions of the two houses
| were Dbrief.
| Mr. Alexander tried to call up his
bill in the afternoon, but it was
|{tabled. Mr. Barrett of Stephens an
{nounced that he is ready to vote to
adjourn sine die, and if need be to
join in calling on the governor to
dissolve the assembly.
| Adjournment was taken till noon
|tomorrow. The senate merely met
{and adjourned.
| If you are in need of a trunk don’t
fail to see our line. Pickett Furni

WILL BE OPEN ALL DAY.
Always a Warm Welcome for Out of
Town Visitors at the Library.
The Dawson Library Association
has started out in the Fall work with
renewed vigor. At the September
meeting it was decided that, begin
ning with October Ist., the library
would be kept open from 9.30 a. m.
to 9 p. m., with the exception of an
hour or so at noon and tea time.
These extra hours will, of course,
call for an increase in the running
expenses, but the ladies feel sure that
there will be no trouble in meeting
their bills, as the funds have always
been forthcoming.
The primary object of the associa
tion was to keep an open room
where citizens of both town and
county would feel free to while away
many a profitable hour, and to carry
out this object they think best to
keep open doors all day.
The librarian extends a hearty
welcome to out of town visitors. She
is glad to see them at any time, and
wishes to impress the fact that there
is no charge; the reading room is
free.
A new and attractive feature will
be the children’s tables with little
kindergarten chairs just to fit the lit
tle folks. The table will be supplied
with all sorts of picture books, such
as Uncle Remus, Mother Goose and
other familiar friends.
Until October Ist. the librarian
requests that books be returned only
during library hours; that is, from
1 to 5 p. m. After October Ist. the
hours will be more convenient.
