U. D. C. TO BUY BOND
IT IS PROPOSED TO MAKE IT
PAYABLE TO SOME CAUSE OR
GANIZATION IS FOSTERING.
Below is a letter from Mrs. T. T.
Stevens, chairman of the liberty bond
committee of the U. D. C. for this
district to the Mary Brantley chap
ter of that organization:
“Atlanta, Ga., June 6, 1917.—Dear
Friends: Mrs. P. J. McGovern, of
the Sixth Federal Reserve District,
has appointed me chairman for the
United Daughters of the Confeder
acy of these six states, representing
Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Tennes
see and Mississippi, to promote the
sale of liberty bonds. It is the de
sire of the women of the South to!
show their patriotism by both buying
and selling the liberty bonds. The
purchase of the bonds has been made
S 0 easy it is my hope that the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy will sub
scribe in large numbers. The bonds
will be handled by your local banks.
All details are worked out by them.
You will keep a record of your work
and report to Mrs. McGovern. Please
communicate with your members at
once as June 15th is the last day, and
urge that the U. D. C. prove their
patriotism by doing their bit in this
crisis of our country. Yours to
serve,
“MRS. T. T. STEVENS, Chm’n.
“Sixth District of the U. D. C.”
The liberty bond draws 3% per
cent. interest paid semi-annually, in
June and December, and matures in
1947, but the government holds the
right to pay in 1932. These bonds
are always negotiable. A suggestion
has come that the Daughters of the
Confederacy start a fund to buy a
bond, making it payable to some fa
vorite cause the organization is fos
tering, thus making it a community
bond. Buy a bond, made payable to
a Terrell county confederate monu
ment or the Stone Mountain memo
rial, and thus help feed and clothe
the boys in the trenches.
What of it, Daughters and friends?
All who approve of this and wish to
contribute please notify Mrs. T. B.
Raines at once, for the time limit is
June 15th.
The Council Requires That Actual
Weight Be Given at Time of De
livery From the Wagon.
The city council has come to the
relief of consumers of ice, and has
undertaken to see that they get full
weight—if they haven’t heretofore.
An ordinance has been unanimous
ly adopted by that body as an emer
gency, which regulates the sale
and delivery of ice in the city limits
of Dawson.
The ordinance, which became ef
fective at once, requires' that cor
rect scales shall be placed on every
vehicle used in the delivery of ice,
and that the ice shall be weighed at
the time of delivery, and only the
actually amount delivered shall be
collected for. 1
Any violation of the ordinance will
subject the ice man to arrest and
a fine in the mayor’s court, which
may vary from one to one hundred
dollars, or from one to sixty days of
hard labor on the city’s thorough
fares.

Tire Manufacturers and Agencies
The tire that is Kor-Kerized travels more miles than any other tire under same
or similar conditions. We have many records as high as ten thousand and some of
twelve thousand miles. Such tires become popular by combination with Kor-Ker.
Keep thgse facts well in mind—they are positive. : % _
We have letters from the manufacturers (not agents) of many tires—that after
making thoro fest in their laboratories they find nothing in Kor-Ker injurious to
their product. That's all we ask. Could an individual tire maker confine Kor-Ker
to the Service of his own make, the enthusiasm for its use would be unbounded—but
when all makes of tires are ihstalled then the long mileage reputation is not confined
to one. Right here the maker figures that if a tire guaranteed for four thousand
miles delivers eight thousand miles servicewhen Kor-Kerized—why thenhe will
sell just one-half the tires—and not controlling the Kor-Ker service, he cannot con
fine the long mileage record to his tire alone to build his sales. This is the situ
ation with the tire maker and the little tire fellow as well. ‘
A wise tire agency would endorse Kor-Ker and urge its sale—sell it himxlf—-he
would build up a reputation for his tires for long mileage due to maintenance of
proper inflation which Kor-Kor accomplishes.

Heavy Downpour Saturday Night
Did Much Good to Suffering
Crops and Humanity.
Saturday night, beginning about
one o’clock, an unusually heavy rain
fell in Dawson and vicinity. The
rain was accompanied by a high wind
and fierce flashes of lightning and
heavy peals of thunder. The storm
had every appearancé of a serious
one, but it soon passed away with
out doing any damage.
The rain seems to have been gen
eral over the county except the sec
tion around Parrott.
The storm was believed to have
been the tag end of the tornado
which swept through the middle and
southwestern states, but it had spent
most, of its force before reaching
here.
The rain did a great amount of
good in this city and section. It had
been several weeks since a season
had fallen, and growing crops were
in need of moisture, roads needed
rain, the streets of Dawson needed
rain, gardens needed rain; in fact,
the atmosphere and everybody feel
better.
UNCLE SAM TRAINS |
WITH WOODEN GUNS!
Hooted at When First Predicted on
Screen in Dixon’s Play. '
The government in the past hasi
been more than conservative in buy-l
ing supplies for the army, and this |
is one reason why it was nécessary
to appropriate the vast sum of seven
million dollars, which bill has been
recently put through congress.
The troops of New York are now
drilling with wooden guns until they
can receive real ones. When Thomas
Dixon showed the volunteers drilling
in his wonderful spectacular play,
“The Fall of a Nation,” he was
laughed at for using wooden guns.
It is remarkable the accuracy with
which the “Fall of a Nation” pre
dicted tRe future. When this play
was running at the Liberty theatre
in New York at $2.00, many hooted
at the idea of this country being
drawn into this war, and the idea
of spies and foreign element plot
ting against our government, and
the part played by the pacifist was
laughed at; but time has proven Dix
on was right,
The “Fall of a Nation” is the big
attraction that will draw thousands
into Dawson from all over this sec
tion of Georgia on July the 4th.
