in memory of Jennie Casseday, the |
Louisville, Kentucky, girl who before .
her death, was the national superin-l

Mrs. Roy Smith told the beautiful
story of her life, “the story of a
helpless cripple, but a cripple who
rose above the infirmities of the body
with a magnificent courage, creating
for herself a world of activities to
which heart and soul and mind were
given in unstinted service.” An ap
propriate scripture lesson was read
by Mrs. O. B. Chester from the sixth‘
chapter of Mathew, “See that yve do
not your alms before men to be seenl
of them, etc.” A poem, ““‘Go Workl

of the delightful features of the oc

hour in social pastime made all the
more enjoyable by the cool shaded
out of doors.

EUFAULA VS. TIFTON
“BABE” WILDER WILL PITCH
IN THE OPENING GAME FOR
THE ALABAMIANS.
Dawson baseball fans will be given’
a real treat this week, when the Eu
faula and Tifton teams, of the Dixie
league, will meet here at Baldwin
park in a series of regular games
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
28th. 29th and 30th. |
Both of these teams have made
good records in the first half of the
league, the Eufaula club finishing |
second, vet they necessarily had weak i
spots which have been strengthened |
with better players. A number of
‘the players are known to Dawson
people, who have seen them work on
both professional and semi-profes
sional teams through this section.
The predominating feature of the
entire series will be in the first game,
when “Babe” Wilder will pitch for
the Alabama team. He has the rec
tord of an even thousand, as he has
' won every game this season, besides
the fact that he is one of the best|
liked baseball twirlers who ever play
ed on a Dawson team.
These teams are coming to Daw
son through the efforts of several
fans who are influenced entirely by
their love of the national sport, and
the Fufaula manager will handle the
games as if they were at home.

A report from Arlington says that
J. W. Talley, a prominent druggist
of that place, was badly cut Saturday
morning by S. T. Nance, also a well
known citizen, who used his pocket
knife after Talley had struck him
in the face. Talley received a dan
gerous cut across the abdomen and
another which laid open the cheek.
While the wounds are of a serious na
ture it is not thought they will prove
fatal. The trouble began over a
business matter. Mr. Nance is a for

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 gome of
twelve thousand miles. Such tires become popular by combination with Kor-Ker.
Keep these facts well in mind—they are positive, :
We bave letters from the manufacturers (not agents) of many tires—that after
making thoro test in their laboratories they find nothing in Kor-Ker injurious to
their product. That's all we ask. Could an individual tire maker eonfine Kor-
Ker to the service of his own make the enthusiasm for its use would be unbounded,
but when all makes of tires are installed then the long mileage reputation is not
confined toone. Right here the maker figures that if a tire guaranteed for four
thousand miles .

When Kor-Kerized A

why then he will sell just one-half the tires--and not controlling the Kor-Ker
service he cannot confine the long mileage record to his tire alone to build hig
sales. This is the situation 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 himgelt—
he would build up a reputation for his tires for long mileage due to mai itenance
of proper inflation which Kor-Ker accomplishes. | B
