JOHN W. FOX DIES
DEATH OF WELL KNOWN CITJ
; IZEN SADDENS COMMUNITY.
SICK ONLY A FEW DAYS. l
l Following an illness of only a few|
days Mr. John W. Fox, one of Dawy
son’s highly esteemed citizens, passed
away at his home Sunday morning at|
110:30 o'clock. In seemingly robust|
' health when taken to his bed a week
before with gastritis no concern was
‘felt over his recovery until Saturday
night, when complications set in and|
he graduaily grew worse until the end|
come, 3 I
‘ Mr. Fox was 69 years old at the
'time of his death. Born and reared in
| Richmond. Ky., he first came to Daw
lson in 1879, accompanying Mr. Alex
'McClintock. mule dealer who made
iseason trips here to sell at the local
’markut. Returning to Kentucky at the|
lclose of the market he continued to,‘
come to Dawson each season for a
lnumber of years thereafter, and en
gaged in the mule business with the
late Andrew J. Carver, which partner
ship continued until the death of Mr.
Carver in 1914, On November 24,
1896, he was married to Miss Elveree
Phelps, of Richmond, and moved tol
Dawson as his home in 1900, After the |
death of Mr. Carver he continued the
bysiness under his own name.
Of genial disposition he was well
known and liked thfoughout this sec-
Itiun and many friends will suffer his
loss. While vet a young man he unit
lcd with the Christian church and up
ito the time of his death was an ardent
Lcllx:rcllgocr and consistent member of
lthzu faith. |
| Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. J.|
l\\', Fox; three sons, Carver and How
lard. of Dawson, and Phelps Fox, of]

The beautiful floral offerings and

'CIRCUS DAY DREW LARGE
i CROWDS OF DUSKY CITIZENS
EEstimated There Were Fully 7,000
l People on Dawson Streets.
Circus Day! “It came and went”
Monday with its proverbial “peanuts,
| popcorn and crackerjack;” and smells
appetizing and not so appetizing. Lee
Brothers’ “world famed” shows “was
the drawing card, and while not the
largest or the best ‘it did not fail to
bring the crowds, especially those of
darkest hue, who thronged the streets
from early morn ’till late at night.
Fortunately, most of the cotton 1s out
of the fields, otherwise the farnfers of
'ithe tounty . would be behind several
'thousand bales. Work for them was
“laid by” Monday.
The kiddies were up with the dawn
and at the railway yards to watch the
unloading. Business was good with
most merchants, the grocery stores
doing a large “sardine and cheese” re
gardless of the numerous fish cook
eries around the circus grounds.
A good time was had by all.

'Won One-Sided Game Played Friday
i By a Score of 26 to 0.
{ The Dawson high school football
itc;xm continued its victorious mdrch
{ Friday, when it defeated Camilla 26
[to 0. The game was played at Daw
{mn. Four touchdowns were scored by
.thc varsity in the first quarter, and
{the scrubs joined in the fun in the
|second quarter, holding the . visitors
{scoreless.
On account of automobile trouble,
which delayed the arrival of the Ca
milla team the game did not start un-‘
[til 4:30 o’clock. Dawson won the toss'
|and elected to receive at the north
lend of the field. On the third play
| Bridges swept around the end. for 35
|yards and a touchdown. Thereafter
the game was a rout as long as the
{first team stayed in the field.
| John Hollingsworth, making his
|debut as field general and fullback,
gshowcd up well, His run from the'
{middle of the field for a touchdown
izmd the ease with which he handled
[the team assures Dawson of a-worthy!
zsucccssor to Bridges, who will grad
uate this year. Jim McClung broke
’intn the game by hitting the line for
|a gain of 25 yards, and his work was
’nolhing short of spectacular. Every
{man on the team played excellent ball,
[the whole eleven acting as a unit.
l The scrubs, appearing for the first
’time this season in a game, went in
‘for nearly three-quarters of play. Al
| though inexperienced they held the
| Camilla lads ccoreless, and kept the
{ball most of the time.
| Due to the weather only a few fans
iwcre present to see the game, which
was the last until October 23rd. Fri

Americus to get revenge on the Sum
ter boys for marring a ‘perfect record

Federated Clubs Met at

Log Cabin Club House

!Teachers of County Were Entertained
And Business Transacted. i
By Mrs. Mamie Hannah. |
Women’'s Federated Clubs of Ter
rell County on Saturday afternoon
met at the club house in Dawson and
‘entertained with Mrs. Gurr and the
lteachcrs of the county as honorees.
'Only one teacher of the genus homo
accepted the honor thrust upon him,
that of facing fifty women. He found
a secluded corner and looked as lone
some as a democrat at a republican
convention. Eventually, his nerve for
sook him and like the Arab, he silent
ly stole away to seek more congenial
environments. Quite a number of the
lady teachers were present, and the
array of new fall creations was won
derful, both in the " entertainers and
the entertained. A gorgeous dress pa
rade..
Though announced as a formal -af
fair it was as informal and sweet as
la kiddie party. The real spirit of the
collect was illustrated. With Miss Ber
tha Lee at the piano “America” was
sung by the audience standing. The
president, who has no peer in capacity,
occupied - the chair. Mrs. Hadley Sta
pleton, secretary, read the minutes of
the last meeting, which was at Herod.
[They were complimented and approv
ed. The treasurer, by proxy, reported
15104.90 in the treasury. Clinic plans
| were discussed. Mrs. Chappell gave a
splendid paper on fine arts; Miss Lee
spoke ‘on voeal music; Mrs, Dozier
lread a fine piece on public welfare, as
did Mrs. Hass on press and publicity.
Mrs. Jordan spoke to the magazine
list; Mrs. Stapleton spoke on applied
| education, urging them to remember
the~ dates, November 16-22 inclusive.
Mrs. Griggs spoke on legislation in ap
interesting manner, and she. and Mrs.
Jordan made it “full of pep” about
daily papers. “American homes” was
presented in a splendid manner by
Mrs. Jordan. A fine paper was given
by Mrs. Jim Dozier.
1 A bazaar is to be discussed by each
olub and decided upon. It will be in
December, in Dawson, for ail the
clubs.
Mrs. Jordan, vice president, made
many witty talks that were apprcciat-‘
ed, and her sense of humor added much |
to the pleasure of the occasion. Mrs.
D. C. Pickett, for the Dawson Wo
man’s club, presented Mrs. Gurr, the
retiring president, a lovely corsage
bouquet. She expressed her apprccia-‘
tion in a pleasing manner. |
After adjournment a social hour was
enjoyed. Punch was served upon ar-l
rival and departue of the guests. i

WHO WILL PRESIDE
OVER THE CITY COURT?
NO SUCCESSOR TO EDWARDS
HAS BEEN APPOINTED. SEV
ERAL NEW ANGLES.
) S ———
Who will preside over the City
Court next Monday, the time for the
next quarterly session to convene?
I That is the question many are ask
ing, but no one can answer.
. As previausly annbunced, Judge M.
C. Edwards tendered his resignation
to Governor Walker to take effect on
October Ist. His successor has not yet
ibeen named, and it is possible that the
|gnvcrnor will await- the result of the
election tomorrow, which will decide
;whc!hcr or not the court will be abol
ished, before making an appointment.
Another proposition has been in
jected into the cohtroversy over the
court by Representative J. D. Weaver,
'who wrote the governor urging that if
the election results in the abolishment
of the court on January lst next no
appointment of a judge be made for
the intervening three months and save
to th颮 county the salary t)mt would
be paid a judge. Mr. Weaver return
ed on Thursday from 4 trip to Atlan
ta, and informed The News that the
governor had said that he would let
the matter take fhat course. ~
Also, it may be that if the court is
voted out the governor will not accept
Judge Edwards’ resignation, in which
event he would continue in the posi
tion until January.
Colonel R. R. Marlin is the only
applicant for the judgeship .n the
event a successor to Judge Edwards
is appointed, and it is understood that
he has practically the unanimous en
‘dorsement of the bar.
FATE OF THE CITY COURT
TO BE DECIDED TOMORROW
Not Much Interest Manifested, and
Small Vote Is Expected. .
Tomoarrow (Wednesday) the voters
of the county will decide at the polls
whether or not the City Court will
be abolished. The election will be
held under a bill introduced by Rep
resentative J. D. Weaver and passed
at the recent session of the legislature,
and if the majority of those voTing
cast their ballots gainst the court it
will pass out of existence at midnight
on the 31st of next December.
The opposition to the court seems
to be principally among the farmers
of the county. Apparently there is
very littleyinterest on the part of the
people generally, and the vote tomor
row will probibly be small.
