LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, MER
CHANTS AND CITIZENS FILL
ED EMPTY‘STOCKINGS.
For the third time a beautiful unity
of all the organi_zations in Dawson,
together with individual support and
that of almost every firm in the city,
carried out a plan of extending the
King's Business throughout Terrell
county in the celebration of Christ
mas. Plans were hastily made and
pcrl'cctcd, a meeting being called on
Tuesday afternoon at the office of R.
R. Marlin, who has a reputation for
starting so?rlething when it’s necessary
to be done. Each civic organization in
ihe city was réquested to Have a rep
resentative at the meeting, and a
number were present.
Mrs. Dan Flinn was appointed chair
man, and a list of all who needed help
was gotten up, each representative
cuggesting the names of those with
whose circtimstances they were famil
iar. Altogether there were 26 families,
including 81 children, and about ten
worthy negro families who participat
«d in the distribution of gifts. The re
cponse to the call for funds was al
most magical. A working committee,
consisting of Mrs. J. D. Tweedy, Mrs.
Will Bartlett and Mrs. Flinn, bought
the supplies and filled baskets accord
ing to the size of the family, or the
special need. Over $lOO was contril
uted in cash, and many groceries and
. considerable amount of dry goods,
which were used to good advantage.
Among the negroes who were given
2id was one 107 years of age and an-‘
other of more than 90. A spirit of
real appreciation was manifested by\
these “Uncles” and “Mammies” of longJ
ago who were compelled by age and
physical infirmities to “lay down de
shovel and de hoe” many years ago
and are now simply waiting to an
swer the summons to pass on. The
supplies given consisted of flour, lard,
<ugar, rice, coffee, nuts, oranges, ap
ples, raisins, candy, meat, soap and
washing powders, shoes, stockings,
caps, sweaters and other substantial
wearables and eatables. It was thé
purpose of the committee that no child
in the county should wake Christmas
morning and find an empty stocking.
Every basket and box was distributed
by Wednesday night and many hearts
were gladdened in consequence. If any
one was overlooked who needed help it
was due to the fact that the plans were
late in being formulated and a com
plete list might not have been made
through no one’s fault. Should any
one know of any real case of need that
was inadyertently overlooked the coin
mittee will be glad to respond, for
there are still some supplies left over
and some money intended to be used
to buy clothing to fit particular needs
after the Christmas rush.
The organizations that were active
in this work were the Kiwanians,
Mary Brantley chapter, {(U. D. C.;
Stone Castle chapter, D. A. R., which
supplied many needs from the Daisy
McNulty memorial fund; the Dorothy
Walton chapter, D. A. R.; the Ma
sons: the American Legion and Aux
iliary; the Woodmen of the World;
the Woman’s club; the missionary so
~ieties of the Methodist and Baptist
church, the Eastern Star, the Ku Klux
Klan, the Parent-Teacher Association,
churches, the Eastern Star, the Ku
Klux Klan, the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciaion, and a number of Sunday school
classes.
It has been proven during the sev
eral years this plan has been tried that
it is the most systematic, the most far
reaching and satisfactory way that
Christmas distribution can be made,
and it is hoped that by another year
the system may be improved, in as
much as plans may be made in ample
time before Christmas day in getting
a complete list of names.
It is intended to prepare a full state
ment of contributions arfd expendi
tures for The News next week, after
all outstanding debts have been paid.
The committee desires to thank one
and all for their support in rendering
this service to the “least of these.”

MR. D. J. DENNIS DIES
WAS WIDELY KNOWN AND
HIGHLY ESTEEMED IN TER
: RELL AND RANDOLPH.
Friends of Mr. D. J. Dennis was
shocked Christmas morning when
they learned of his death at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. C. M. Harris, at
Herod. He suffered a stroke of apo
plexy about 9 o’clock Thursday night,
and died early next morning.
Funeral services were held at the
home in Herod Saturday morning, be
ing conducted by Rev. H. L. Crum
bley, of Cuthbert, assisted by Rev. E.
M. Overby, of Dawson. The remains
were interred in Cedar Hill cemetery.
Mr. Dennis was born in Randolph
county, near Cuthbert, on January
27th, 1853, and was 72 years of age.
He lived in that county until 1398,
when he removed to Terrell county,
In 1871 he was united in marriage to
Miss Loveda Curry, who died in 1912.
He was a member of the Baptist
church from his early manhood.
The deceased was a man of genial
personality and {riendly disposition,
and was held in high esteem by a wide
circle of friends and acquaintances in
this and neighboring counties.
Besides his daughter, Mrs. Harris,
Mr, Dennis is survived by one broth
er, J. S. Dennis, of Randolph county,
and four sisters—Mrs. S. E. Cheney of
Atlanta, Mrs. C. A. Redding of Cuth

ison.
Jiggs, Maggie and Dinty
Coming to Palace Theatre
“Bringing Up Father in Gay New
York” Here Monday Night.
“Bringing Up Father in Gay New
York,” the latest George McManus
comedy sensation, based on the fa
mous cartoons of the same title, will
be the next attraction at the Palace
theare on next Monday, January 4th,
with the customary matinee, This ex
ceptionally diverting offering, which
seems to be as permanent an institu
tion as the white house in Washing
ton, D. C., is said to be better than
ever, which means that the admirers
and followers of the beloved charac
ters, Jiggs, Maggie, Dinty Moore, et
al,, are in for a fine old time. All the
favorites will appear in the flesh, of
course, and their antics, aided by a
bevy of old and new friends, are sure
to find receptive response. The enter
tainment will be divided into two acts
and six scenes with interspersed nov
elties, surprises, innovations and other
ingredients not to be found in other
contributions boasting of laugh»com-}
pelling qualities. Nat Leßoy is re
sponsible for the book, while the jin
gles and tunes have been supplied by
Seymour Furth, whose capabilities as
a composer require little introduction.
The Next Hog Sale Is
~ Announced for January 6
Is Urged That All Hogs Be Brought
In by 10 O’Clock.
The next co-operative hog sale will
be held in Dawson on Wednesday,
January 6th, at 10 o'clock, and it is
expected that three cars of hogs will
be sold at that time. County Agent
Gibson again calls attention to the
necessity of all hogs being on the
ground not later than 10 o'clock on
the morning of the sale, thig being
necessary on account of the train
schedule. :
The hog market at this time appears
to be holding its own fairly well, and
it is expected that the price received
will be in line with sales held in De
cember.
There will be a difference of one
cent between the different grades; for
example, fours will sell for three
cents less than ones, threes will sell
for two cents less, twos one cent be
low ones, and roughs two cents be
low ones.
AUTOMOBILES DRIVEN BY
DRUNKEN NEGROES COLLIDE
Only Damages Was a Badly Demol
ished Ford Car.
A Buick driven by a drunken negro
collided with-a Ford driven by anoth
er negro, who also had partaken too
freely of an intoxicating beverage,
on north Main street Christmas day
near the Central depot. Both drivers,
ialthough badly shaken up, were not
seriously injured. However, the Ford
was rendered little more than a pile
of junk, proving again that gasoline
and liquor will not mix successfully.

A CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to express our thanks and
deep appreciation for the many acts
‘of kindness shown during the illness
and death of our wife and mother, and
for the beautiful floral offerings.

THE DAWSON NEWS
)QUESTIONS' HAVE ARISEN
WHICH MAKE IT NECESSARY
TO ADVERTISE AGAIN.
—_—\
! County Attorney H. A, Wilkinson
{has informed The News, also Judge
L. C. Hoyl, cierk of the board of the
=county commissioners, that he will ad
lvise that body to rescind its action
‘culling an election for January 14th
ito vote on a proposed bond issue of
$300,000 for paving roads in Terrell
county.
Certain questions have arisen since
the election was called which make
that course advisable, One of these is
that the advertisement is for bonds to
the amount of $300,000 to be retired
in the sum' of $lO,OOO annually, and
the yearly payments stipulated therein
extend through 31 years and make
the aggregate amount of bondsg $31,-
000. It has also developed that the
bonds would sell better if they were re
tired in semi-annual instead of annual.
installments. Another question that
has been raised is that it is proposed
to issue bonds for paving roads that
'have Jot yet been designated by the
state highway commission as federal
land sate aid projects. It is contended
[that bonds cannot be issued to pave
projects that do not exist.
i Mr. Wilkinson’s opinion will be
before the commissioners at their Jan
uary meeting next Tuesday, when
steps will be taken to remedy the de
fects and an election called for a later
date.
. Itsis regrettéd that complications
‘have arisen, but it is better now than
later. The movement to pave the high
‘ways of the county has not been aban
‘doned, but is only temporarily halted.
Terrell county must and will pave|
her principal roads.

Looking ahead, you see things you’d like to
accomplish—goals you hope to reach. And
we at this bank see the opportunity of help

success only by helping others to do so.
Our well-being is inseparable from the well
