ut owing to the limited appropria

putting the Dawson building on
. market is regretted, and the work

INGENIOUS AFFAIR PLANNED
AND CONSTRUCTED BY A
DAWSON CITIZEN. j
FT— \
The miniature model city which at-|
tracted so much attention some weeks
ago in the window of Locke-Mathis
Motor Co. has been painted and many
changes made by Mr. *W. J. Good
bred and placed in the window of the
Rogers store, where it will remain all
this week. .
The model city in itself is a me
chanical marvel, and the' fact that it
was conceived in the brain of a Daw
son man and each detail constructed
by him makes it all the more interest
ing and noteworthy.
The miniature city contains a barn
with horses, cattle, chickens and a
flock of sheep scattered around the
building in natural appearance. A lit
tle swing suspended from the limb of
a spreading oak contains a child mov
ing back and forth, while just to the
right is a large two-story dwelling
house with real windows, chimneys,
etc. The house is doubtless the prin
cipal dwelling on a large farm, for
next to the house is a Dutch wind
mill turning rhythmically and lazily
in the summer breezes. Further to the
left the city takes on a more urban
appearance, with a moving picture
theater advertising the latest photo
plays. A water mill grinds merrily
away on the bank of a swiftly flow
ing stream which encircles the whole
city, making it a busy seaport, as
full rigged schooners busily ply the
moving waters. A. miniature railroad
adds the last modern touch as it
steams on the tiny track just above
the river.
The whole display is very ingenious
and atfractive, and should be seen by
every person who wvisits Dawson.
NEW MANAGER NAMED
FOR LOCAL M’CRORY STORE
Mr. W. R. Ground Has Been Trans
ferred to Tallahassee, Fla.
Mr. W. R. Ground, who has been

Crory chain since its opening several
years ago, has been transferred to the
management of tlre McCrory store at
Tallahassee, Florida.
Whether Mr. Ground will be placed
in permanent charge of the Tallahas
see store is not known, but it is hop
ed that it is only temporarily, as dur
ing the time he has been a citizen of
Dawson he has taken an active part
in every movement that would tend
to help Dawson and Terrell county.
During his absence the store will be
in charge of the assistant manager,
Miss Thelma Mclendon.

TERRELL COUNTIANS
RETURN FROM TEXAS
ONE MEMBER OF THE PARTY
BOUGHT TRACT OF LAND .
CONTAINING 14 ACRES.
The party of Terrell county men
who made an inspection tour of the
Le Feria tracts of land in southern
Texas returned Friday, all being very
much impressed with the fertility of
the soil in that region. One member
of the party bought several acres.
Those going from here were C. C.
Martin and Thomas and Harry Ox
ford. A special train carried people
from 18 states. The Al Barker Securi
ties Company, of New Orleans, ar
ranged the trip.
The train was met at Houston,
Texas, and 50 automobiles carried the
travelers on a sight-seeing tour of
that section." On reaching the La Fe
ria district the tourists were shown
the whole section, both the cultivat
ed and wild lands. The latter were
the ones that were offered for sale by
the realty company. On the first
morning over $225,000 worth of land
was sold in thirty minutes.
The Terrell countians who made
the trip state that all kinds of fruits
and vegetables are grown there, and
very little cotton. Mexican labor is
plentiful and cheap. Mr. Harry Ox
ford purchased 14 1-3 acres of the un
cultivated land, the reported price be
ing $4,600.
