The chapel exercises Wednesday
morning were conducted by Rev.
Reese Griffin, of the Methodist church.
His unique way of getting at his sub
ject, by dividing it into three parts,
was very unusual, and he held the at
tention of his audience unwaveringly.
On the past Friday afternoon, the
Girls’ Literary Society was pleasantly
surprised by a visit from the boys of
the “Forum.” After a short business
session the following program®enjoy
ed: Resolved, That the Blue Laws
rShould Be Passed. Evelyn Hill and
Dorothy Dozier were on the affirma
tive, while Katherine Davis and Emi
ly Wilkes presented the negative side
of the question. The judges, Louis
Petty, Jim Tweedy and Rogers Locke,
rendered their decision as a tie, as far
as actual points went; but, on ac
count of delivery, they finally decided
in favor of the affirmative. The second
number on the program was a quar
tette by Cathleen Simmons, Minnie
Hind, Virginia Hollingsworth and
Ella Beck Colley. The program was
concluded by a selection from “Wil
liam Green Hill,” by Eleanor Hatch
er. After the report of the censor the
society adjourned.
In Pelham Friday night the Pel
ham high school team wreaked ven
geance upon D. H. S. in basketball,
said revenge being doubly sweet ow
ing to the trouncing which our boys
administered to them just before the
holidays. There are several more
games yet to be played by the local
boys, and they are looking to the peo
ple of Dawson to spur them on to the
rounding out of a most successful
season. Your presence is a great help.
Come out to see the game against
Richland high next Friday night at the
high school gymnasium,

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
vear I suffered with rheumatic troub
le which undermined my health, so I
became helpless. My back hothered
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
feel 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.,
