In Parting With

T heir Straw ““Lids
Parting with the summer straw
skypieces by the average Dawso
nian is like cutting off the prover
bial leg, according to a ten minute
statistical observation.
In ten minutes Saturday morning
36 men going north and south pass
ed by the southwest corner of
Main and’ Lee streets, and of this
number 26 of them wore straws.
There were new ones, old ones,
hard ones, soft ones, clean ones
and dirty ones and freaks, but they
were - straw ‘“kelleys” nevertheless.
Out of the meager 10 felt hats
and caps perhaps half of the wear
ers were keeping company with
Dame Fashion by what is gener
ally known as the end of the sea
son, September Ist. But the great
er number of the wearers of the
heavier headgear were men and
boys who couldn’t be hired to wear
a straw hat in any kind of weather.
ALSO HAVE A BUICK SIX IN
WHICH FAMILY OVERFLOWS
WHEN THEY RIDE.
Reference has been made in The
News to unusually large families liv
ing in Terrell ocunty, but Russell
Roberts, colored, and his wife, Lula,
are entitled to the blue ribbon for be
ing the parents of the largest number
of children. Eighteen girls and two
boys have been born into the home
of this couple, who reside on the Til-
Jey farm in the Pleasant “Hill com
munity. The negro and his wife are
quiet, industrious and law-abiding, and
have the respect of all who know
them. They are both comparatively
young.
After the week’s hard work Russell
brings out his Buick six and packs in
as many of his family as possible and
the rest follow in buggies and on mule
back to help boost attendance at
church services and Sunday school.
Out of this large. family four have
been claimed by death. -, 43

ILOGAI. W. C. T. U. URGES
DECLARE MAYOR AND COUN
CIL HAVE SIDE-STEPPED
'RESPONSIBILITY.
. The September meeting of the Wo
iman's Christian Temperance Union,
Iwhich marked the beginning of the
fall activities, was one of the most in
teresting of the year. The president,
Mrs. R. E. Bell, promptly dispatched
the a%?umulation of business.
Each department has been active
during the summer, and reports of the
' varied lines of work were most en
couraging. Mrs. J. H. Lewis, superin
tendent of prison reform, spoke at
length of the work among the county
convicts and expressed appreciation of
the hearty co-operation of the minis
ters of the city and others in making
’e meetings held at the camp of far
reaching good. Mrs. George Gibson,
who has been recently enlisted in the
work, also bore testimony to the
pleasure the prisoners receive in lit
erature distributed and services held
from time to time. In an informal dis
cussion the members deplored the fact
that “the mayor and council of Daw
son have side-stepped by leaving local
matters to be passed on by the state
judiciary.” The W. C. T. U., the mem
bers say, “holds to the old democratic
idea of individual rights and municipal
rights as well as state rights, and feels
that if our city has not the power to
pass on her own affairs a change
should be made in the city laws.”
Following the very spirited business
session Mrs. L. L.amar presented in a
strong and interesting program a prof
itable study on' “Scientiic Temper
ance,” she being the superintendent of
that important department.
The matter of the approaching pri--
mary was briefly discussed, and the
womien who are registered were urged
to vote after carefully considering the
qualifications of each candidate before
the people.

$2,300. The sale was made through
