Goods to Suit Any Customer Can Be;
Found in Dawson Stores. Reasons
Why You Should Buy From the
Home Merchants, |
pawson merchants are returning
from the eastern markets, where
they have spent several weeks se
lecting goods to meet the demands
of the public this fall and winter.
And because the home merchants
want your patronage they have
pought the best goods the markets
had to offer, and they are going to
make the prices as low as legitimate
pusiness will warrant.
The home merchants are ready to
give you the best service possible,
and are anxious to display _their
stocks, feeling a pardonable pride in
their successful efforts in bringing
pack merchandise that cannot fail
to please the most fastidious. A
careful inspection is all that is nec
essary to satisfy every buyer.
\ir. T. S. Martin, who has already
established a reputation for exclu
sive ready-to-wear merchandise, is
receiving a larger and better stock
than ever before displayed.
Mr. C. A. Wall, representing G.
W. Dozier & Co., has given his
close attention for sometime to se
lecting a stock that will make the
public sit up and take notice.

keeping up the standard of excél
lence maintained for years by thé
McLain Co.
The large business done the past|
year at Maloof’s has encouraged the
proprietor of this popular store to
increase his stock, and to add only
the best that could be found.in the
centers of trade, - .
D. Pearlman is back from the
markets ‘and proposes to be right in
the game of big business this fall,
and is well satisfied that he is ready
to meet the keenest competition.
But it must be remembered that
high class stores can only be main
tained when the merchants receive
home patronage. A dead towm is
often the result of highly colored
mail order catalogues, which en
courage the community to send their
money away from home,
Trading at home wields a remark
able influence over community life.
It works miracles in civic growth
and civic harmony. Its radiating in
fluences reach into every nook and
corner of community activity., It is
felt in the home, bringing sunshine
and joy. It is found in the schools.
It is seen in the community in a
thousand wondrous words spelling
“better streets’” and ‘‘better walks,”
“better-drives,” “better everything.”
Buying at home brings to the com
munity all the truly worth while
things of American life and keeps
bringing them.
~ Buying at home is the propelling
force of the community. It means
civie progress. It enables 12 communi
ty to keep abreast of the times, to
go forward—never backward. It
brings to a community the newest of
civie improvements community
playgrounds, community gardens,
community parks. Trading at home
selects the best-of the outside influ
ences and places them before the
community constantly,
At first glance all this may sound
unreal. The casual reader mayhap
cannot associate buying at home so
closely with community welfare. But
stop for a minute. Consider a few
concrete facts.
All community or civie activity is
absolutely dependent upon municipal
taxes and community donations.
From these two sources come all the
funds of municipal government and
civic improvement. People in Al
bany, Atlanta or Macon, nor big mail
order houses in Chiecago, Boston and
New York never contribute one dol
lar toward building roads, paving
streets, erecting sciools, laying out
parks, instituting public libraries in
Dawson. The money for all these
great monuments to civie pride and
the numerous other features of com
munity progress comes from home.
Now, who at home pays the great
est share into the community wel
fare fund? The answer summed up |
into two words is this—home mer
chants. Upon them falls the great
est burden of taxation. To them goes
the honor of giving to every home
movement—school library, woman’s
clubs and churches. The home mer- |
chant and the home merchant’s
money supports them all. He is a
home town booster first, last and
all the time.
Are you buying at home? Are
you giving your home merchant the!
support that he deserves? Are you
helping secure “better things” forl
your community, or are you throw
ing your money to the building of
a new viaduct in Chieago ot a scenic
drive along the Hudson? Think it
over,

THE DAWSON NEWS.
LOSSES REPORTED BY CENSUS
BUREAU WILL BE A GREAT
SURPRISE TO PUBLIC. !
The News has received from the
census bureau at Was.hington a re
port of the population of Terrell
county and the incorporated cities
and towns as shown by the enumer
.ation this year.
According to the report the coun
ty has a population of 19,601, a de
crease of 2,402 since the census of
1910. Only two of the nine militia
districts show gains. These are the
Bronwood and the Parrott districts,
which have increased in population
141 and 326 respectively. Losses
are reported in the other districts as
follows: Town district, including the’
city of Dawson, 1,738; Sasser dis
trict 564, Herod district 412,
Twelfth 289, Dover 806, New Elev
enth 68. No comparative figures
can be given for the Graves district,
which was established since the 1910
census and embraces the old Elev
enth district and a part of the Do
ver district. The following table
gives the population of the districts
as shown by the 1900, the 1910 and
the 1920 census:
Population by Districts. '
Years -~ o PN2O 1910 1900
Terrell county 19,601 22,003 19,023
Twelfth dist. - 2,433 2,722 2,495

Sasser district 2,477 3,011 ____
Graves gipg. 1001 = ____
The above figures include the in
corporated towns in the districts.
Like the county the incorporated
towns, with the exception of Par-]
rott and. Bronwood, show loss of
population, Bronwood has a gain of
55 and Parrott 7. The losses are
Dawson 323, Sasser 39 and Herod
28. Following is the population of
these towns each ten-year period
since 1900:
Places 1920 1910 1900

Hered = -~ & 186 214 = -
Parrott == T. 002 367 360 26%
Sasgep--- = =AI 402 441 322
To say that the people of both
the county and Dawson are surpris
ed and disappointed at the results
of the census as announced is stat
ing it mildly. While it is true that
many negroes have left the county
for industrial centers and the North
a large number of white families
have moved here from North Geor
gia—enough, it was believed, to off
set the exodus of the negro popu
lation.
As to the loss of population in
Dawson, it is the universal opinion
that more people are living in the
¢ity than lever before. There are
more houses in Dawson than at any
time in its history, and so far as
known there is not-a vacant resi
dence.
Some weeks ago the Chamber of
Commerce took up with Congress
man Crisp the matter of having a
recount of the people of Dawson,
but it seems that nothing came of it.

A VERY HAPPY AFFAIR
Given Complimentary to Little Julia{
Brown on Fifth Anniversary. [
" One of the prettiest parties the
past week was that given at the/
home of Mrs. Mary Brown, in honor |
of Julia, little daughter of Mr. and |
Mrs. Mack Brown, celebrating her|
fifth birthday. |
The color scheme of pink and gold |
was artistically carried out through- |

bedded in a mass of golden glow,l
was presided over by Miss Allene
Brown. l
After jolly games always enjoyed |
by the little folks delicious golden |
cream was served in erisp cones, af—,
ter which all gathered around the
pretty pink covered table holding |
the birthday cake of pink and gold |
with its five tiny candles surround-!
ed by a wreath of yellow roses. ‘
Then a happy surprise was the |
serving of two large Jack Horner
lpies. Each guest was told to draw‘
'a ribbon from the slice in the pie. |
The little girls drawing pink ribbons !
found tiny dolls with pink crepe |
dresses and the boys drawing gold!
ribbons drew pomp caps. i
Julia, in her damty Swiss dress |
with pink ribbons, made a ¢harming
hostess, and was made happy with
many pretty and useful gifts. !
Assisting in entertaining the
guests were Miss Belle Brown, Mrs. !
Walter Hill, Mrs. Emmett Riordan |
and Mrs. T. E. Bunn. g |

REPORTS COTTON CROP
ALMOST A TOTAL FAILURE
Rain and Weevils Cut Crop to Two
Bales to Plow on Some Farms.
Mr. C. C. Brim, prominent mer
chant and farmer of Sasser, was in
the city a day or two ago, and re
ported that the cotton crop is almost
a total failure in his section of the
county, due to incessant rains and
ravages of the boll weevil. He said
that although the prospects were
promising at one time many farm
ers cannot hope for more than five
bales to the plow. Some, he said, will
not get more than two. v
Cotton in every section of this and
adjoining counties has deteriorated
considerably the past three weeks,
and farmers generally agree that
the yield will be reduced' from 25
to 30 per cent.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS |
OF HOT WATER |
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more '
food into stomach. I ]
Says Inside-bathing makes any- l
one look and feel clean, |
sweet and refreshed. |
n
Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important hecause
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-|
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste’
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates |
poisons, gases and toxins which are|
absorbed 'or sucked into the bloodl
stream, through the lymph ducts which |
should suck only nourishment to sus
tain the body. i
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, al
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening:
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach. |
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who.are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acld stomach or
) constipation are assured of pro
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.
