Fierce Blizzarq Swept This Section,
the Thermometer Falling Sixteen
Degrees Below Freezing Point.
The sudden transition Friday night
from genial Spring to blizzardy Win
ter was rather enjoyed here, the only
objection being the high and disa
greeable winds which prevailed
through Saturday anq Sunday.
But the blizzard is just what every
body claimed to want. It not only
killed all vegetation that should have
been killed two months ago, but it
insures the safety of the peach crop
by keeping back the buds, and gave
the farmers ga long desired opportu
nity to kill ang save their pork,
Considerable damage has been
done, however, to the oat crop and
the early gardens. It is generally be
lieved that a considerable per cent.
of the oat crop has been killed, and
practically all of the early vege
tables.
At nine o’clock Sunday morning
the thermometer registered only six
teen degrees above zero, which is
just sixteen degrees below freezing
temperature. It was the coldest
weather this section has experienced
since the severe and long to be re
membered blizzard of 1899, the ther
mometer at that time falling within
eight degrees of Zero.
TINSLEY WANTS A PARDON.
Prison Board Wil Act on His Peti
tion This Month.
A petition has been filed with the
prison board asking a pardon for
Will Tinsley, a young white man who
was convicted at a session of the su
perior court in January, 1908, of as
sault with intent to murder and sen
tenced to three years in the peni
tentiary.
The News understands that Judge
Worrill, who presided at the trial,
Solicitor-General Laing and all_ of
the jurors have signed the applica
tion for pardon, and there is little
doubt but that it will be granted._
Young Tinsley is said tO. be in
very bad health.
Soldier Balks Death Plot.
It seemed to J. A. Stone, a civil
war veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that a
plot existed between a desperate
lung trouble and the grave to cause
his death. “I contracted a stub
born cold,” he writes, “that devel
oped a cough that stuck to me, in
spite of all remedies, for years. My
weight ran down to 130 pounds.
Then I began to use Dr. King’'s New
Discovery, which restored my health
completely. I now weith 178
pounds.” For severe colds, obstinate
coughs, hemorrhages, asthma and to
prevent pneumonia it'’s unrivaled.

Six Persons Were Shot.
A number of Dawson and Terrell
county sportsmen went over to Lee
county Monday to attend the big an
nual dove shoot there. They report
a very enjoyable trip, though birds
were not as plentiful as on former
occasions. A hundred and twenty
five guns were in the field, and a
half a dozen or so men were shot.
though none were seriously hurt.
Taken to the Columbus Jail.
Blundy West, the small negro boy
who was arrested some days ago on
the charge of taking a letter from
the special delivery messenger of the
postoffice, is now in the Muscogee
county jail in Columbus awaiting
trial in the United States court. A
United States deputy marshal came
for the youthful prisoner Friday, and
took him away.
Washington Once Gave Up
to three doctors; was kept in bed
for five weeks. Blood poison from a
spider’s bite caused large, deep
sores to cover his leg. The doctors
failed, then “'Bucklen’s Arnica Salve
completely cured me,” writes John
Washington of Bosqueville, Tex.
For eczema, boils, burns and piles it's
supreme. 25c¢ at Dawson Drug Co’s.
Wants a Pardon for Knight.
Judge J. G. Parks has gone to
Atlanta to present the application of
Harmon Knight for a pardon to the
prison commission. Knight Kkilled
another negro in a difficulty arising
over a baseball game at Doverel, and
was sentenced to the penitentiary
for three years. He has served two
years of the time.
| A Big Porker.
Hundreds of meat hogs were
killed by the farmers of the county
Saturday and Monday. The largest
one we have heard of was Elder W.
T. Everett's ‘little, pig,”” which bal
anced the scales at 466 pounds. Mr.
J. M. PFletcher killed one that
weighed just a few pounds less.
Capt. Alexander Stricken.
Capt. J. M. Alexander was strick
en with paralysis Monday. At the
time of going to press Tuesday af
ternoon his condition was reported to
be critical. Captain Alexander was
postmaster at Dawson for twelve
years, and is widely known through
out this section.
Mr. Glover Here.
Express Agent Davis is off on a
furlough of several days, and Mr. O.
D. Glover of Americus is in charge of
the office during his absence. Mr.
‘Glover was for a number of years
the express ageht in Dawson, and

During the holiday season when
it was almost impossible to make a
test of the eye on account of the

manner, our optical instrument and

proper place. They have been re
placed and our optical stock filled in
preparatory for our regular work in
this very important department.

A STACK OF REPAIR WORK
'ABOUT CAUGHT uUP
When the holiday rush was over
we found that we were snowed un
der with all manner of repair work,
from the simplest job of jewelry re
pairs to the most complicated watch
work. We and our customers are
both thankful to know that we are
practically caught up again and can
now handle new work brought in

Our ever increasing amount of re

Try Hermans Tailoring This Spring
Resolutions of the Mass Meeting on
the Subject of the Sale of Suds
Will Be Presented to Council.
The city fathers will meet in reg
ular and solemn conclave tonight
and consider various matters per
taining to the welfare of the town,
the most important of which, in the
opinion of some, is whether their
former action in licensing the sale
of near beer shall be permitted to
stand.
The resolutions adopted at a re
cent meeting of men, women and
children at the court house, demand
ing the repeal of the ordinance au
thorizing the sale of the cold and
foamy suds, will be formally present
ed for the cogitation of the solons,
and will no doubt be disposed of and
the matter definitely settled.
It is the general belief that the
council, which fixed the near beer
license at $lOO by a two-thirds vote,
will decline to recede from its form
er action and revoke the licenses
that have been issued.
There are two beeries in opera
tion in the city, and it is very likely
that they will wash the dust from
‘thirsty throats for the next twelve
‘months at least.

The letter accompanying the new

been made, as the spurious bill that
was held up was received from an
other bank.
