NEXT TO THE COLDEST
JUNE DAY ON RECORD
Dawson peovle shivered Friday
night and Saturday morning, and
wondered if winter had returned. It
was the coldest morning in June on
record with the exception of June
12, 1913, when the mercury dropped
to 46. Saturday morning the mini
mum was 49 degrees. According to
weather officials there is a high bar
ometer which is bringing the South
an abundance of cool air from the
North.
Never Neglect a Cold.
A chill after bathing, cooling off
suddenly after exercise and drafts,
give the cold germs a foot-hold that
may lead to something worse. Safe
ty requires.early treatment. Keep
Dr. King’s New Discovery on hand.
This pleasant balsam remedy allays
inflammation, soothes the cough and
repairs the tissues. Better be safe
than sorry. Break up the cold with
Dr. King's New Discovery before it

;U. D. C-PLAN FOR
}EVIDENCE THEIR PATRIOTISM
~ BY INVESTING IN A LIBER
TY BOND.
1 s
~ The newly elected president of the
iMary Brantley Chapter, U. D. C.,
‘Mrs. T. B. Raines, is already actively
iengaged in planning for aggressive
‘work for the summer months to in
crease interest in the different causes
and add to chapter funds.
Monthly payments will begin at
once on a liberty bond payable to
the chapter, twelve dollars of the
amount being already in hand. The
members are enthusiastically res
ponding to this patriotic call. The
following is the liberty bond com
mittee: Mesdames F. M. McNulty,
chairman, B. M. Davidson, J. D.
Tweedy, W. S. Dozier, C. M. Courie,
J. M. Rauch, T. B. Raines,
Through the generosity of Mr.
Grier, half the proceeds of the pic
ture show on June 27th will be do
nated to the chapter. |
Plans are on: foot for “barbecue |
and swimming party later in the
summer.
The chapter asks that all who will
contribute junk, such as old automo- |
bile tires, newspapers, etc., please |
notify the president. The members
of the chapter are especially urged
to help in this way.
War relief work will be taken upl
at once, and every daughter is ex
pected to have a part in this. The
progress of the work of the chapter
will be reported from time to time.
Watch the columns of The News.
Committees are being formed for
the different lines of work and will
be notified as soon as possible.
A very important meeting of the'
executive board will be held Friday
morning. Mrs. Raines will entertain
the members at luncheon after the
business session. .
Highest Prices in Great Many Years.
Possibility it May Command Still
Higher Figures Is Prediction.
Friday the local buyers were of
fering 24% cents for good middling,
while to-day on a rise following a
weakening in the market, it will bring
above 24% cents a pound, which is
above expectations of many people.
It is now believed by some that the
price will go still higher, and there
is a possibility that the next crop
‘may command a still better price.
'There is an enormous demand for
‘cloth with which to clothe the sol
diers, not only of the United States,
'but of the other countries that are
;fighting against Germany. As cotton
advances so will the prices of almost
'everything else, as food supplies are
of much greater importance than
cotton.
MRS. BUNN ENTERTAINS
FOR ATTRACTIVE VISITORS
All the Guests Report a Unique and
Interesting Afternoon.
One of the merriest parties of the
season was that given on Tuesday
afternoon by Mrs. T. Edward Bunn
in honor of her attractive guests,
Misses Charlotte and Lucile Malone,
of Atlanta.
There were many unique features
that kept the guests in high glee. A
group of pretty young girls in mid
dies assembled for an afternoon of
college sports, basket ball, high jump,
30-yard dash and a whistling contest,
furnishing lively entertainment.
Score cards in patriotic colors were
used. In the hall where punch was
served, college pennants and sun
flowers were used, the same bright
decorative scheme being carried out
in the parlor.
American flags gave a patriotic
setting to the dining room, pennants
anc sunflowers giving an added glow
of bright color. The very effective
central decoration of the table was
a large vase of sunflowers surround
ed by twenty-four marshmallows,
which were presented as souvenirs to
the guests. The paper doilies were
stamped with American eagles, hold
ing streamers of red, white and
blue. A veritable school girl feast
was enjoyed. Mrs. R. G. Kennedy
and Miss Lucy Horsley assisted the
hostess in entertaining.
Those present were the Misses Ma
lone, and Misses Zuleita Clay, Ollie
Wilson, Ruth Flynn, Viola Stanford,
Mary Logan, Minnie and Esther
Hind, Minnie Hatcher, Elizabeth
Kennedy, Marie Hatcher, Lucy Hors
ley, Euzela Roberts, Frances Peddy,
Lora Horsley, Della McCrea, Mrs.

“If You Break Up a Hen’s Nest You'll Hatch Out No Chicks.”
The squares being the weevil’s nest, pick up all the punctured squares once
each week until July 15th, off of the stalks and on the ground and destroy them.
You'll certainly HATCH no weevils. PATTERSON’S BOLL WEEVIL DESTROYER
will do this. It’s a great LABOR SAVER. One man using it can do the work of
ten men by the hand-picking process. It eliminates that awful BACKACHE and the
possibility of dew poison on your hands. It will pay for itself the first half day.
The Government Experts all agree that to pick up the punctured squares will
increase the output of seed cotton 25 to 50 per cent. The Govemmenfi"arm Bul
letin No. 382, says: “One man who picked up the fallen squares in Louisiana gath
ered 25 per cent more seed cotton than his neighbor who did not pick them up.”
W. S. Childs, a County Agent for Stewart County, in the Americus Times-
Recorder, Nov. 15, 1916, says: “One of my Demonstrators, Mr. Eugene Thompson,
picked up the squares oft of five acres. He kept the weevil in check encugh to
gather nearly five bales, and upon the rest of his plantation he got only four bales
per plow, where he jormerly got eight to ten bales.” (He could have picked up
the squares off of 25 acres, using Patterson’s Destrover with the same labor.)

S. M. COCKE & COMPANY, Dawson, Ga.
H. E. DEKLE, PROMINENT
QUITMAN MAN, BURIED HERE
Died Suddenly. Had Been in Bad
Health For Several Years. Surviv
ed by Wife and Three Children.
The remains of Mr. H. 1.. aie,
of Brooks county, were brought to
Dawson and interred in Cedar Hill
cemetery on Saturday afternoon,
Rev. T. M. Callaway officiating. The
deceased, who had been in bad health
for several years, dropped dead sud
denly Friday morning. He had been
to Quitman early that morning for
a short while, but returned home,
about three miles away, and went
out into a field, where he cut one
or two licks with an axe and fell. He
was dead when reached by some ne
groes, who were only a few yards
away.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, who, before her marriage,
was Miss Essie Turner, of Dawson,
and three, children, E. E. Dekle, of
Valdosta, Ernest and Estelle Dekle,
of Quitman, and one brother, John
Dekle, of Thomasville.
He was a native of Thomas coun
ty, and his father was John Dekle,
the first moderator of the Mercer
Baptist association, which was or
ganized over fifty years ago in Thom
as county.
Mr. Dekle was 62 years of age,
and had long been a constant member
of the Baptist church. :
M. F. CRONIN READING
CLERK IN THE HOUSE
Won the Place Over Large Number
of Other Applicants.
The clipping below from the Wash
ington Times, of June the 12th, will
be of much interest to Dawson peo
ple, Mr. Cronin, being the son-in
law of Judge M. C. Edwards:
“Mr. Michael F. Cronin, of lowa,
has stepped gracefuliy and unosten
tatiously into the job of reading
clerk of the house of representatives.
Twenty candidates for the place had
been tried out since April 2, when the
session convened, with only one read
er. Some of the candidates for the
job gave Mr. Cronin a fairly close
contest; others were eliminated by
the time they had read the enact
ing clause of a pending bill.
“Yesterday the patronage commit
tee, backed up by advice from both
sides of the chamber, gave the place
to Mike Cronin and he went on
the job as a regular to-day.
“Mike Cronin has a strong, pleas
ing voice—with not too much brogue
—a winning smile, an agreeable man
ner and a capacity for thinking quick
ly. All these attributes should be
found in a reading clerk, for the leg
islative machinery becomes clogged
if the reading clerk is deficient from
the neck up and muffs amendments
and slows down on roll calls.”
