HAVE YOU CALLED AND PAID? Light and Water Bills Will Not Be Presented by a Collector. Have you called at the city hall and paid your January light bill? If not you are likely to be in the same predicament Moses was on an historic occasion—in the dark—after Friday night. As was printed in The News, the council passed a resolution at their last meeting directing that the cus tom of the superintendent of call ing on the patrons of this depart ment each month with bills be discontinued, and that parties in debted to the city for light and water must call at the superintendent’s office by the night of the sth of each month and settle their indebtedness, the penalty for failure to do so be ing discontinuance of the service. Superintendent Peddy has mailed 300 statements to citizens of the imounts they are due for the month of January, and is now daily sitting in his office—and will be until Fri day night, the sth—ready to receive your money and issue you a receipt. He has positive instructions from the council to cut out the lights of all delinquents after that date, and says that he will carry them out.

Heywood Turner, the well known young barrister and farmer, had a narrow escape Friday after noon from a fatal accident. While driving along the public road during the high wind which swept the country a tree fell across his buggy. Fortunately Mr. Turner saw the tree falling and, striking his horse, was jerked from under the main body of the tree, only a limb hitting him. He was, however, ren dered unconscious for three or four hours. 7The buggy was demolished. Some negroes in a wagon found Mr. Turner and carried him home. He is now able to be up, and is re ceiving the congratulations of his friends on his escape from an un timely end.

Talk isn’t cheap in Dawson; that is not for those who furnish the ap paratus whereby others are enabled to talk. Mr. J. H. Davis, the enterprising manager of the Dawson Telephone Co., spent several days in Atlanta last week negotiating for an entirely new outfit for the system, and when he returned to Dawson Thursday an order had been placed and a contract signed for new apparatus for the en tire plant, including a new central energy lamp board and new ’phones.

THE DAWSON NEWS. | el Mr. G. R. Cannon’s Children Gave Him a Surprise on His Fifty- Eighth Birthday. The truest and tenderest relation in life is that of parent to child, and there is nothing so beautiful as the love and thoughtful devotion of chil dren to parents. This was very del icately manifested Thursday, January 28th, when Mr. G. R. Cannon reached his fifty-eighth birthday. A bounti ful and delightful dinner had been prepared as a surprise by the daugh ters and daughter-in-law, Mesdames Julia Nasworthy, Chas. Curry and ‘Robert Cannon. The dinner, fit for an iEpicure, had been prearranged by these ladies, all of whom are splendid cooks, and carried to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cannon just at the dinner hour. The delicious repast was per fect in every detail. Nothing was forgotten by the loving hearts that planned and the wiiling hands that prepared this birthday dinner for father. The menu consisted of everything that goes to make up an old-time southern dinner. The fortunate guests were Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Chris tie, Mrs., Mary Baldwin, Miss Minnie Bridges, Miss Beulah Lee of Doverel, Miss Mills of Edison, Miss Varnadoe, Miss Janes, mr. Bernard Perry, Mr. Charlie Johnson, Mr. L. E. Cannon, Mr. and Mrs. Bob«€annon, with their little son, G. R. Cannon, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Curry, with their sons, James and William, Mrs. Frank Nasworthy, Joe, Louella and Flor-‘ ence Nasworthy. When dinner was announced the genial host, with his beaming face expressing the happiness which he could not put into words, led the way to the dining room. Such filial love so generously expressed was enough to fill a father’s heart with tender emotion. Covers were laid for twelve, and it was a congenial group ——just the dinner and the company to make ‘“‘a feast of plenty and a flow of soul.” Mr. Cannon received many fcon gratulations, and each one turned away with the earnest wish that the same l'oving hands may be permitted to prepare many more birthday din ners for the kind father in his on ward and upward journey through life.
