IMPRESSIVE WERE SERVIOESI
Baptists Give Praise on Eve of Miss
Tweedy's Departure for a Mis
sionary Training School.
One of the most impressive relig-l
ious services ever held in Dawson‘
was that at the Baptist church last |
Sunday night, on the eve of Miss§
Maggie Tweedy's departure for the
Bible Training School at Louisville,
Ky. It was a service of praise and
thanksgiving that God had chosen
one out of that church to go into
the foreign field.
After the service was opened with
song and prayer several appropriate
talks were made. Dr. w. C. Pas
chal’s remarks on ‘“Life and what
we make it” was an earnest plea to
young people to make their lives
noble and worthy of God's goodness,
Professor J. C. Taylor, as the repre
sentative of the Baraca class, and
Mrs. J. A. Ivey, who represented the
Woman's Missionary Society, made
impressive talks. Miss Minnie
Bridges, as the representative of the
Young Woman's Missionary Society
‘and the Philathea class, expressed
‘words of love and advice, and pre
sented Miss Tweedy with a lovely
little gold watch as a gift from the
class. Rev. N, B. O’Kelley made a
_short talk full of love and praise to
God that the church had been so
wonderfully blessed, and Miss Pearl
Melton, in a soft, sweet ‘voice, sang
very impressively “Nearer My God
to Thee,”
At the close of the service Miss
’Tweedy spoke in earnest and tender
words of her love for the church and
the members who had been such a
help to her in her christian life.
Miss Tweedy is a thoroughly con
secrated young christian, and it is
with all love and confidence that ‘he
church bids her God speed in her
work.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chapman,
who came home from Atlanta last
week after an operation nad been
performed on their two-year-old
child and a toy whistle it had swal

isponse to a telegram that the child

the effect that the condition of the
little fellow was then much better.

be entirely successful, and that they
will soon have their child at home
with them again.

How to Get Streag.
P. J. Daly of 1247 W. Congress
street, Chicago, tells of a way to be
come strong. He says: ‘“My moth
er, who is old and was very feeble,
is deriving so much benefit from
Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my
duty to tell those who need a tonic
and strengthening medicine about it.
In my mother’s case a marked gain
in flesh has resulted, insomnia has
been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger.” Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomach, liver and
kidney complaints. Sold under guar

Will Vote Again in One More Week.
Only Contests Are for Governor
and Pension Commissioner.
The state election is just one week
off. It will occur on next Wednes
day, October T7th.
The tickets have been printed, and
Ordinary W. B. Cheatham has all of
the election papers ready to forward
to the different precincts. The reg
istrars, Messrs. H. A. Petty, J. A.
Horsley and G. 8. Crowell, are now
purging the registration of illegal
voters and will furnish lists to the
managers at each precinct.
All voters living in a district
where the precinct is in an incorpor
ated town must vote there. In dis
tricts where the precinct is not in an
incorporated town the voters can
come to Dawson to cast their ballots.
There are contests only for gov
ernor, pension commissioner and the
amendment to the constitution dis
franchising the negroes.
This year, although he voted in
the primary and agreed to abide the
result, Yancey Carter is a candidate
for governor against the nominee,
Joseph M. Brown. It is not believed
that Mr. Carter will carry a single
county. A great many people are of
the opinion that he will not carry a
militia district. His vote in Terrell
county is expected to be very small.
As is always the case there will
be a good deal of scratching, and no
candidate will escape the pencil
mark. \ 2

Two Mules and a Wagon Which Dis
appeared from Shellman.
Mr. Jobn Watts’ mules and wag
on, which disappeared from town
Sunday night, were found Tuesday
near the Sim Roberts place in Ter
rell county. A negro on the Watts
farm drove the team to Shellman
Sunddy night to meet the night train.
While waiting it began raining and
he drove the team under the shed at
the oil mill. This was the last seen
of the mules and wagon until found
’l‘uesq'ay. One of the mules was un
hitched fronr the wagon when found.
It is not reasonable that the mules
should go alone the opposite way
from home, so evidently somebody
took the opportunity to get a free
ride.-—Shellman Sun.
