IN STYLE AND QUALITY.
GOOD TRADE
gaturday; in fact better than we ex
pected, and if it keeps improving
the chronic kicker wont have any
thing to kick on. We seeno reasonl
why trade should not get better
and better all the year. We are
doing our best to make it so. We
have the goods bought right and
we are going to sell right. Just a
look at our spring line, we think,
will convince any one that we have'
+he right things.
RAINY WEATHER
ghould not make any one feel blue
who wants to work. There are
nany rainy-day jobs on the farm
that are as important as fair weath
er jobs and you need not get your
foet wet if you will come to us for‘
ihe right sort of shoes. Clear off:
your hedge rows, cut plenty of‘
wood to last all the summer so yo,u‘
will not have to cut while the
weather is so hot and you are busy
with grass, shuck corn for milling
and feeding; that will help you save
time when you get busy plowing.
DO DITCHING
and cut the logs and get them out
of your way. You can do this kind
of work in bad weather if you have
good shoes. Come and get them
pefore you start and keep your feet
dry and warm and not let that cold
get started.
GLASS PULLERS. |
Our windows ars pulling people
into our store every day and they
are pulling shoes out of the win
dows. The prices seem to do the
ta lklng.

PICKETT WILL CHANGE MODE OF
SELECTING COMMISSIONERS.
Bill to Be Introduced in the Legisla
ture Will Provide for Election by [
People Instead of Grand Jury, |
A local measure of importance that
will be introduced by Homn. D. C.
Pickett when the legislature con
venes next summer will be a bill tak
ing from the grand jury the election
of county commissioners and placing
it in the hands of the people.
Mr. Pickett has not decided upon
the details of his bill, and is not pre
pared to say whether he will increase
or reduce the size of the board,
which is now composed of five mem
bers. He may provide for the elec
tior of a member from each district,
which would increase the number tol
nine, or he may reduce the board to
three. Another plan he is investigat
‘\ing is that of only one commissioner,
‘who would devote all of his time
‘to the business affairs of the county
‘The one commissioner plan has been
adopted by a number of counties.
But, as stated above, Mr. Pickett
flas not yet determined just what his
bill will provide except to elect the
commissioners by the people. He
will, as opportunity is affored, talk
with the citizens of the county, and
be guided in a large measure by their
wishes as to any other changes that
may be made. |

This rule is made that we may be
fair and keep the good will of all. In
many instances we would be unfair
to no one in setting a valuation on
another person’s article, but in some
instances there would be a difference
of opinion and the question wonid
arise whether one or the other were
honest.
Our credit standing places us in
position to buy for less than the

CITY GANG IS GROWING.

A city chaingang is something of
a novelty in Dawson, but one with
eight inmates is now at work on the
streets of the city, sentences putting
iron.anklets on them and shovels and
picks in their hands having been im
posed by Mayor McNulty since he
came into office a month ago. There

LOST NINE CORDS OF WOOD.
When Farmer Went to Haul It Could
Not Find Any.
Mr. W. F. Mcßee of near Herod
has recently lost nine cords of wood.
When, he doesn’t exactly know; how,
he has a pretty good idea.
Some time ago Mr. Mcßee had the
wood cut and stacked in the woods
to be hauled to market at a conven
ient time. When the work was com
pleted he thought no more of the
wood until a day or two ago, when
he went to haul it to a customer in
Dawson, and his surprise can be bet
ter imagined than told whenthe dis
covered that not a stick of it was
there. Some enterprising thief had’
hauled the wood all away, and in all
probability sold it.
The wood was worth $3.00 a cord.
MADE A NEW HEAT RECORD
——— \
First Time in 30 Years January Pass-
Without a Freeze, Accumulated
a Great Excess of Heat. |
January made a new heat record,
and for the first time in thirty years
that month has just passed without a
freeze.
It is said there have been only
three Januarys in 42 years when the
temperature didn’t go as low as 32
degrees.
On the other hand, the month just
closed was extremely warm, the tem
perature several days veaching as
high as 75 to 80 degrees. The maxi
mum for January since the weather
bureau was established nearly half
a century ago was 80 degrees. Only
three times during that long period
has the weather even for a day been
as warm. An excess of temperature
amounting to 290 degrees was ac
cumulated during the month,
NOW COST MORE TO MARRY
}Judge Cheatham Takes Advantage of
Cupid and Boosts Price of Mar
riage Licenses.
The cost of marriage, like other
necessities or luxuries of life—just
as you view it—has increased.
~ Saturday Ordinary W. B. Cheat
ham raised the price of marriage li
cneses from $1.50 to $2.00, the price
that is authorized by law and whica
has prevailed in many of the counti=s
of the state.
Judge Cheatham does not expect
Cupid to be any the less industrious
on account of the increased cost of
getting married, and will keep cn
hand just as big a supply of licenses
as ever. In fact, he says there has
not been the least cbjection on the
part of those who have needed a li
cense since Saturday, and that all
have seemed not on'y willing but ea
ge~ to pay the $2.00.

THE YOUNG MINISTER.
Play Will Be Presented by Local
Taleuit on February 14th,
“The Young Minister’’ will be pre
‘sented by the amateurs Friday, Feb.
14th. This play is copywrighted, and
those who attend will find that they
are not witnessing a production of
the printed play-book kind. It is a
new and beautiful heart drama tell
ing the story of a lovely and lovable
heroine; a modern play built on old
lines that has a gripping heart inter
est. The theme and type of charac
ters are the old familiar ones that
never die in popular favor, as they
appeal to a refined audience.
Mr. Wallace, whose clever work
has been witnessed here before, will
be seen in the title role, a part that
seems to fit him well. Mr. John Ed
Morris, as the minister’s designing
brother, does some ciever acting with
the ex-convict, who is played well by
Terrell Ragan. The comedy parts,
handled by Mr. Hawkins, Miss Chris
tie and Mr. and Mrs. Lavely, will be
accepted as good, wholesome fun.
The leading part of the persecuted
school ma’am, by Miss Berta Bald
‘win, taxes the resources and emo
tional genius of any star actress.
Dawson should be proud of her
Woman’s Clubk, and this entertain
ment should receive a liberal patron
age as a reward to these ladies,
whose untiring efforts are doing so
much for the general welfare.
