An Old Landmark in
Dawson Offered for Sale
Wooden Building on Main Street One
Of Oldest in City. |
Frank Bethune has a very interest
ing advertisement in this issue of The
News in which he states he would
sell the two-story wooden bulding on
main street known as “Bethune’s Cor-‘
ner” and occupied now by the Singer
Sewing Machine Co. and a barber
shop.
This is one of the landmarks of
Dawson. It is the only wooden build
ing in the business district of the city,
and is perhaps the oldest. In the early
days it was famous as a saloon, and
not in the memory of the oldest in
habitant was it occupied by any other
business until state-wide prohibition
became effective in Georgia. It was
occupied by the dispensary when Ter
rell county first adopted that method
of controlling the liquor traffic.
Mr. Bethune is not anxious to dis
pose of the property, but is willing to
let some one have it if it will mean
anything' fer the improvement and
progress of Dawson, |
MRS. HARPER SETS FRANK
L. STANTON POEM TO MUSIC
Was Feature of fiusical Program at
Trinity Church in Atlanta.
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution will be read with much
interest here at the home of Mrs. Har
per, a talented woman whose work
has attracted wide recognition:
“The singing of ‘Nearer to Thee,
an old poem by Frank L. Stanton
which has recently been set to music
by Mrs. M. H. Harper, of Dawson,
composer and writer whose works
have attracted widle recognition,
will be a feature of the music program
at Trinity Methodist church Sunday
morning. It will be sung as a soprano
solo by Mrs. Nellie Edwards, of Trin
ity choir.
“:Nearer to Thee’ was written by
Mr. Stanton while he was yet a boy.
Its beautiful lines lend themselves
readily to musical treatment, and Mrs.
Harper's song, it is stated, takes full
advantage of their sentiment and
rhythm. Mrs. Harper’s former works
were accorded recognition when she
was included a few years ago among
the writers honored by a tree in Au
thors’ Grove in Piedmont park.”

approach of cold weather but hecause
the home of their washerwoman was
entered by some would-be masher
and the shirts of both abstracted. The

Nothing else takes out sorencss, lame

Monday at Macon, and the people of
Dawson were much gratified when
news was received that Rev. W. L.
Wright had been returned as pastor of
the Dawson Methodist church, and
that Rev. E. M. Oven}ty would re
main as presiding elder! The appoint
ments for the Americus district are:
E. M. Overby, presiding elder;

the church in south Georgia gained

5,373 of this number by profession of
faith.

and nine new parsonages, with num
erous additions and repairns was re

tures were erected iree from debt—
without any heavy mortgage placed
}thereon——-which is considered another
indication of the more prosperous con
‘dition in which south Georgia is find
ing itself.
An invitation was accepted to hold
the conference in Americus next year.

‘many noble traits of character by a
large circle of friends and acquaint

large family of the late W. D. Wha

| Mishap While Hunting. s
~ Wilbur Timmermann, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Timmerman, who live
five miles east of Dawson, received an
unusual and painful wound while pre

Young Timmerman is a member of
the senior class of the Dawson high

can soon resume his studies.
