Considerable Building Now
Being Done in Dawson,

been much buildmg in Dawson, both
in the erection of new dwellings and
improving old ones. On Seventh ave
nue the homes of Messrs. A, L. Me-

going changes that will add to their
appearance, Mr. Fred Lasseter is also

85-Year-Old Negro Leads
The Row Picking Cotton
His Record of Half a Day 106 Lbs.
No Unusual Feat for Him.
“I can work if I is old,” declared
Charlie Hampton, well known negro
on the farm of Mr. J. C. Wills, near
Parrott, who is now in his 85th year,
and with that he put on a cotton sack
and went to the field, where he picked
106 pounds of cotton by noon. It is
said furthermore that this is no un
usual feat for this industrious old man.
The younger negroes on the farm
were at first skeptical of the old ne
oro’s ability to take care of his row,
but he challenged them to keep up
with him and kept them hustling un
til the whistle blew for dinner.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Mr. Wills has already
gahered 33 bales from 55 acres, with
the fields still white, and the prospect
is good for a bale to the acre. Proper
preparation of the soil and hard work
have made possible this large yield
for Mr. Wills, and it is this method
which can be depended on to bring
general prosperity in the good old
countyv of Terrell.
Individual Class Houses®
| Dedicated by Baptists
Prayer for Boys and Girls Who Go
Away to School. Sunday’s Subjects.
On Sunday morning Dawson Bap
| tists . dedicated the individual class
'hpuscs on the lawn, along with a large
number of chairs and other equipment
which have been bought in the past
several months. The keynote of this
entire service was the need of a new
building and the determination to se
cure the same, God helping. The most
definite thing done was the most hear
tv vote that all would enter into agree
ment to pray every day for a new and
adequate church plant next year, and
continued praying that the new project
will take definite form in the spring.
The evening service was most beau
tiful, with splendid music, beautiful
display of college banners and pen
ants, the reading of the names of the
boys and girls who go away to school
’this fall and special prayer for these,
'all being special features of the ser
| vice. Pastor lowe preached on the
subject: #The Call of the Hour,” using
as his text Matthew 20:28.
Next Sunday Pastor Lowe will
preach on the following subjects:
Morning, “Effectual Prayer;” evening,
“The Afflicted Christ.” Everyone has
a cordial welcome.

WITH CITY RATE OF $2O DAW
SON PROPERTY OWNERS TO
PAY TAX OF $4O PER $l,OOO.
Taxes are high again this year and
owners of .property will have to “dig"”
deep to meet the demands of the tax
gatherers,
The commissioners have fixed the
rate for county purposes at $l5 on the
thousand, and the county school board
has called for a levy of $5 per thous
and on property outside the limits of
Dawson for educational purposes. In
addition there is the usual state tax
of $5 on the thousand, making a total
of $25 per thousand for the state and
county.
But that tells little more than half
the story as far as it relates to the
city property owner. In addition to the
state and county taxes he will have to
pay $2O per thousand city taxes, which
will make the sum of $4O on the thous
and, or 4 per cent, he will have to
contribute to the public exchequer for
being governed in this famous land
of freedom. In addition there lis the
federal income tax and special state
and municipal taxes galore, which will
greatly increase the tax burden.
Of the city tax $l3 per thousand
will be to pay the ordinary expenses
of the municipal government and $7
will be for the support of the public
schools. The city tax rate is the same
as it was last year, but there is an in
crease of $2 per thousand for schools.

Make This Year’s Cotton
Help Pay Your Debts---
Every well-managed business maintains
what is known as a reserve fund, into which
it puts a part of eagh year’'s profits for the
. purpose of paying off its loans as they come
due.
Many farmers, too, right here in Terrell
county, are laying aside money, a little at a
time, in order to repay the loans they have
secured during the past two years on their
lands or life insurance policies.
You can start a reserve fund by placing
a few dollars out of this year’s cotton income
in the Dawson National Bank’s certificates of
deposit. These certificates are issued in any
amount, for a term of either 6 or 12 months,
and draw interest at the rate of 4 per cent
from date of issue. They're as good as gold
—for they can be converted into cash at any
time at their full face vaiue.
