A School To Train Typesetters
Enjoy Big Earnings While Learning a Great Profession
The Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Association has established a
school for teaching typesetting on the linotype and intertype machines.
Apprentices in the printing trade and ambitious young men of women
should write for literature. The trade that helped develop Benjamin
Franklin into a master mind is worthy of careful consideration.
For advice apply to the editor of The News, and in the meantime

PAID GUARD THAT SUM FOR
PRIVILEGE OF GOING VISIT
ING, AND NEVER RETURNED.
Will Adams, a life-time convict
who was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for killing his wife and child in
this county three years ago, has been
missing from the Terrell county road
gang since Saturday, and W. C. Oli
ver, who was night guard at the\
camp, which is located several miles‘
south of Sasser, is wanted by the au
thorities on a warrant charging him
with being responsible for the escape.
When Warden R. W. Jennings left
the camp Saturday night all the pris
oners were securély iocked in i;heir‘
cages, and upon returning there Sun
day morning he was surprised to find
Adams missing. He began a rigid in
vestigation, with the result that Oli
ver, the guard, confessed that for
$2.00 paid him by Adams he let that
convict go calling Saturday night with
the understanding that he would re
turn before day. It was also discov
ered that this guard had been mak
ing a practice for some time of letting
convicts go visiting at night upon the
payment to him of small sums of
money, and they had always come
back prior to Adams’ departure.
Oliver was discharged, and Monday
County Commissioner J. C. Hollings
worth swore out a warrant for his ar
rest. Every effort will be made to
capture him, and if caught he will be
vigorously prosecuted. He came here
from Stewart county.
Cheering Words.
FOR MANY A DAWSON HOUSE
HOLD.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous uri
nary disorders is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suffered
will prove helpful to hundreds of
Dawson readers.
Mrs. L. E. Welch, 340 E. Eleventh
ave., Dawson. gave the following
statement May 2, 1911: “For about a
year I suffered with rheumatic troub
le which undermined my health, so I
became helpless. My back bothered
me a lot, too. Seeing Doan’s Kidney
Pills advertised for just such cases
as mine I began their use. Doan’s
soon strengthened my back, removed
the rheumatic trouble and made me
lfeel fine in every way.”
' On April 15, 1918, Mrs. Welch
said: “I cannot praise Doan’s Kidney
\Pills too highly for what they have
done for me. I know they are worthy
’of a trial by anyone having kidney
trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Welch had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

DAWSON TO HAVE
| KLAW AND ERLANGER
o
l EST SHOW OF SEASON.
The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dis
patch of November 7th gives the fol
lowing review of George Hobart’s
new musical comedy success, ‘‘Miss
Blue Eyes,” which will be at the Pal
ace theater in Dawson next Thurs
day, January 22nd:
“Miss Blue Eyes” sparkling and
bright, eletantly costumed and as
capricious as an April day twinkled
intg town last evening to open a two
days’ engagement at the Academy.
She brought with her a dozen other
pairs of eyes of assorted colors
adorning faces of attractiveness and
charm, their possessors in turn ele
gantly costumed. Their eyes, or their
owners, at any rate, sang and danced,
posed and paraded in a manner to
?uite win our approbation. So much
or the ‘“eyes.”
In speaking of the play itself, pure
ly musical comedy, we must speak
with restraint lest we he not believ
ed. If a cleverer comedy has visited
this town of ours in recent months
we have forgotten its name, If we
had only seen the court scene in the
last of the three acts we should have
gone away satisfied, as George Ho
bart has invested it with more humor
than we can describe in a short re
view. “The Butterfly on the Wheel"'
had a court room scene that thrilled; |
“Blue Eyes” has one that convulses.
Centis Jensen plays the title role
quite to our satisfaction. She is very
pretty, sings well and puts cleverness
into her “absinthe scene” on the road
house porch. Peter MacArthur and
Archie Folk play the law partners
capitally, the former with a quiet
style a bit like Richard Carle. Clyde
Long, as the chief of police, puts a
new twist in the character far and
away better than any rube constable
we have seen. Marie Kemp, as Sylvia,
fills the eye, wears stunning gowns
‘and pleased us.
The dancing contingent was 100
per cent. A-1 first grade. Lamb and
Goodrich staged a dance that em
braced everything except aviation,
¥and, even so, the little girl was off
'the ground about half the time. Mu
lsically, the play is well scored with
|catchy tunes, lustily sung. The melo
'dy of the “Honeysuckle Inn” is in
‘clined to linger in the memory and
is the favorite without a doubt. The
scenic investure of “Blue Eyes” is ar
fistic, the second act, showing the
“Inn”’ a striking fine set.
The chorus, large and attractive,
costumed exceptionally well and sing
ing vociferously, if not too well, was
always in the picture. Let us say that
| whatever they lacked in numbers
|they made up in other respects. They
%certainly looked innocent and harm
iless enough.
iMRS. BRIM ENTERTAINED
AT A SEWING PARTY
IDelightful Occasion Was in Honor of
Mrs. McMurria.
One of the most enjoyable social
affairs of the past week was the sew
ing party at which Mrs, J. A. Brim
entertained on Friday afternoon in
’compliment to her guest, Mrs. E. W.
‘McMurria.
~ The guest list included the young
matrons of the city and the teachers
‘of the Dawson public schools. Japoni
cas, from the hostess’ garden made
very bright and attractive the rooms
where needles were industriously
plied on dainty bits of fancy work
to the tune of merry conversation. A
salad course was served. }
