HAS WITHDRAWN FROM AR
RANGEMENT WITH CENTRAL
FOR UNION STATION. .
AN efforts to induce the Seaboardi
Air Line railroad to continue the use
of the Central railroad passenger sta
tion failed, and the use of the Sea
board’s station by that road’s passen
ger trains was resumed Sunday. All
Seaboard trains now receive and un
load passengers at its own station.
Soon after the government took
over the operation of the railroads
the Central station was used as a un
jon passenger station by both roads,
and that arrangement proved to be
so convenient and satisfactory to the
traveling public that the decision of
the Seaboard to withdraw from that
arrangement has caused general re
gret and much dissatisfaction. The
officials of the Seaboard base their ac-,
tion on economy. They say it is much
cheaper for them to use their own
station than it is to operate their
trains over the Central’s tracks enter
iing and leaving that road’s station.
It is understood that the Chamber
of Commerce and business interests
of the city generally will urge the
erection by the Seaboard of a larger
and better equipped passenger station
than the present structure, and the
matter will be brought to the attention
of the officials of the road at an early
date. .
The building now used as a depot
is small, unsightly and poorly ar
ranged, and is anything but credita
ble both to the road and to Dawson.
Dawson is entitled to a modern,
more conveniently arranged and more
comfortable station than the affair
now used as such by the Seaboard.
MISS HATTIE BALDWIN MAR
RIES MR. STORY AT ADEL
Nuptials Occurred While She Was
Visiting Relatives There.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Baldwin were

admired by old and young alike than
Hattie Baldwin, not only for her at
tractive personality but as well for her
many lovable traits of character. Mr.
Story is a rising young lawyer of
Nashville.

SUNDAY. SERVICES 1
: |
AT DAWSON CHURCHES
THE LARGE CONGREGATIONSJ
HEARD FORCEFUL SERMONS. |
~ BEAUTIFUL DAY.
Sunday services at the Methodist
church were of special interest, a
marked increase in attendance being
noted in the Sunday school. Large
congregations were also present for
the preaching services. “The Power
of Prayer” was the theme of the ser
mon at the morning hour, Acts 16-13
being the text used. The pastor em
phasized the fact that the spiritual life
of the church must be quickened as
a necessary preparation for the ac
complishment of the great task to
'which God has called his people.
\Great revivals and sweeping reforms
have always been preceded by sea
sons of importunate prayer. Striking
instances were given of the influence
of prayer in shaping the world’s his
tory.
The service of thd evening ‘was
somewhat out of the usual order,
“Young People and Matrimony” or
“How to Get Married,” being the
topic under discussion. Underlying
the good advice to those contemplat
ing the important step was the stress
laid on the importance of he Chris
tian home as the one indispensible
factor in the life of the nation.
At the Baptist Church.
Last Sunday was another banner
day at the Baptist church in Daw
son. At the Sunday school there were
336. Mr. Stevens had hoped for 350
at this service but the little cool snap
caused quite a little slump in the se
nior Baraca class, and one or two
other classes, causing the number to
be just 14 below the goal. Mr. Stevens
said in the service Sunday that he con
fidently expects 350 next Sunday, or
more, if the weather is at all clement.
There was a full house at both the
morning and evening services and as
much interest and manifestation of the
spirit of God as one is accustomed to
secing at a revival at white heat. There
were five to join at the morning ser
vice and five again at the evening ser
vice. Each time there were two by
letter and three by experience. The
pastor announced at the service Sun
night night that there will in all prob
ability be baptism next Sunday night
and expressed the hope that there
‘will be baptisms®all along through the
remainder of the winter and the spring.
The subject for next Sunday morn
ing is: “A Sleeping Jonah.” The eve
ning suhject: *
The organist will have the same_fine
class of special music and the congre
gation is going to do better than it is
in the habit of doing, if possible. A"
special feature of the music of last
Sunday evening was a.quartette by the
Jennings quartette, which held the au
dience spell-bound as well as lifted the
hearts of all to God.
At the Presbyterian Church.
At the Presbyterian church, Rev.
G. A. Grille preached on the subject
of “The Promise Keeping God,” from
the text, first Kings, 8:56. “There
hath not failed one word of all that
He promised by his servant, Moses.”
From the text the thought ran to the
faithful promise keeping God as ex
hibited under tha law and under grace.
After the sermon the regular qliarter
ly communion service was held.
Episcopal Services Tonight.
Episcopal services will be held at
‘the Methodist church Tuesday eve
ning at 7:30 oclock by Rev. ]J. B.
Lawrence, of Americus. A cordial wel
come will be ‘given all who wish to
attend.

Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma’s Sage
Tea Recipe.
Common garden sage brewed into &
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients
a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
‘While gziay. faded hair is not sinful,
we all dedire to retain our youthful
appearance ande attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth’'s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen:'a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, .aking one
emall strand at a timie; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth’'s Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi
site, It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
