“WAY DOWN EAST” A
A TALE OF SIMPLE PEOPLE
WELL PRESENTED. FULL OF
LOVE, LAUGHTER, TEARS.
The public has shown on different
occasions their appreciation of worth
while pictures and never more con
vincingly than by their reception of
Griffith’s superb production, “Way
Down East,” a tale of simple people
told in a simple way, which many of
them had seen in the larger cities as
it made its first rounds.
In discussing the picture with Mrs.
Dan Flinn, one of the best known and
most charitably inclined women of
Dawson when it comes to real com
munity help, we asked the privilege
of quoting her views of the picture in
the following expressions:
“Admitting that there are some
sordid phases of the play, yet under
lying all is such a lesson of good over
cmoing evil that one who studies the
context is impressed with the fact that
the film is true to life in every feature.
What town has not its Marthas, to
whom a bit of scandal is relished “as
a sweet morsel under the tongue;”
its Jonathans, who interpret the scrip
tures literally, losing sight of the
Christ-like spirit; its Mrs. Jonathans,
who in a measure overcome the obsta
cles and smooth the way for earth’s
weary travelers; its Annas, who suffer
througheut life for one innocent mis
take; its Davids, with high and lofty
ideals and an over-mastering love that
recognizes no barriers; and its ever
present villain, the wolves in sheeps’
clothing, that stalk within our midst?
“What truer life could there be than
the woman bearing the stigma of
shame while the man goes scot free?
There are some highly dramatic situa
tions, perhaps the most striking being
Miss Gish’s acting in her denounce
ment of tige deacon who was satisfied
with a half truth and the climax when
she turns the righteous wrath of a
woman scorned upon the man respon
sible for her suffering.
“No one but Mr. Griffith could have
conceived the thrilling situation of the
river scene, the floating ice with its
human cargo and the miraculous es
cape from the rapids, nor the down
fall of the villain and the wedding
scenes that are the culmination of the
several romances depicted. Taken as
a whole, “‘Way Down East’ keeps up
unflagging interest throughout, a
wholesome play of life as it is—its
sorrows and pains, its loves and its
joys—a picture that contains a thrill
in every scene.”
Is better than ever. Keep it in your refrigerator and
be assured of the very best. For sale by all dealers.

Methodists Hear Fine
Sermons on Sunday
Superintendent Smith Made Repdrt
| Of Year’'s Work. Special Exercises.
The Sunday services at the Meth
odist church were featured by specia!
exercises incident to rally day, which
marked important changes and read
justments in the different departments
of the Sunday school. The superin
tendent, Mr. R. D. Smith, made a fine
report of the work of the past vear
Ishm\'ing the largest average attend
ance in the history of the school. The
secretary being out of town no finan
cial report could be included, but will
be given next Sunday. In the sermon
hv the pastor at 11 o’clock the great
mission of the church, blood bought
by the tragedy of Calvary, was em
'phasizod as the only force in the world
working under the leadership of Christ
for the redemption of mankind. The
pastor’s earnest message was based
on the second chapter of Revelations,
I]Slh verse: “He that overcometh shall
not be hurt by the second death.” The
communion service followed.
At the evening hour a special ser
mon to the officers and teachers of
the Sunday school from the text:
“Show thyself approved unto God a
workman that needeth not to be
ashamed,” etc., second Timothy, src-‘
ond chapter, fifteenth verse. Thc‘
speaker sought to impress the church
officials with the responsibilities of
‘their high calling and the importance
of living up to their church vows if
they would wield the right influence
over the voung lives entrusted to their
training. Mr. Griffin touched lightly
on the outstanding forms of worldly
amusements as hindrances to the
spiritual growht and out of harmony
with the purposes and plans of God
“to seek and to save that which was
lost.”
FARMER TELLS HOW TO
EXTERMINATE PESKY MITE
Uses a Salt Solution to Rid Fowls and
Nests of Vermin. :
Anything which has been given a
thorough trial and found to be bene
ficial is worth passing on to others.
As an exterminator of mites and oth
er vermin on poultry a practical farm
er gives The News the formula of a
salt solution, which he claims never
fails to sdo the work without injury
to fowls or eggs. Into five gallons
of water dissolve one gallon of salt
and sprinkle liberally about the fowl
house and in the nests of setting hens
infested with mites or fleas. This kills
the vermin and saves a lot of bother.

ply of money for choice farm

Young Dawsonian Enlists
As Soldier of the Sea
George T. Allen Joins Marines, and Is
Now in Training at Parris Island.
By passing the required physical
examination George T. Allen, of Daw
son, has been accepted Yor a three
years' enlistmient in the United States
marine corps, according to word re
ceived from Captain George Bower,
U. S. M. C,, recruiting officer at room
516 postoffice building, Atlanta.
Young. Allen, who is a son of Mrs.
Mary Jane Allen, of this city, recent
1y went to Atlanta in quest of infor
mation pertaining to the marines, and
when Captain Bower told the Dawson
youth about the many advantages of
an enlistment he was more than anx
ious to enter the ranks. A physical ex
amination, which is the downfall of
more than two-thirds of the Georgians
who apply ior enlistment, was neces
sary, but the young Dawsonian expe
rienced very little trouble with the
various tests and was returned to Cap
tain Bower with the official accept
ance of the medical examiner on his
enlistment papers.
Private Allen was then transferred
‘to the training camp at Parris Island,
S. C., where he will be instructed in
}thc many drills of the “soldiers of the
sea,” and will incidentally have an op
portunity to study as well as take an
active part in healthy out-door exer
cises. Allen will remain at the training
camp for the next twelve weeks, after
which he will be transferred to a com
pany of marines, whose destination
might be China, Cuba or some other
place.

Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
l‘)( asking at any drug store for
“Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,”
you will get a large bottle of this
famous old recipe, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge Or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Why Pay Obligations
Promptly?
To many people the payment of an
obligation is an incident by itself.
It is not so regarded, however, by
those with whom we have business deal
mngs. Promptness or delinquency in
meeting that payment will have a direct
bearing on future credit.
Start building up a fund to pay up
your debts as they come due! You can
do this by laying aside a few dollars at
a time in the Dawson National Bank’s
Certificates of Deposit, which are issued
{or six or twelve months with interest at
the rate of 4 per cent.
