DAWSON, Ky.

Col. j. O. Cooper is at the Central
House.
Mrs. Judge Tyler and sisters,
Misses Fannie and Carrie Moore, are
at the Arcadia.
A. Y. Wimbcrly, editor OF the Ken
lucky Telephone, is doing up Daw-
son. lie says it is his first visit, but
will not be his last
Look out for the "Races" on the %
Of this month; we predict there will
not be standing room for the great
number Of visitors that will be here.
Dawson has many imvalids at this
time come to drink and he "lIcaled,'
full of faith that the celebrated water
will restore them. They will not be
disappointed.
Last night was a grand gala oc-
casion here. 1t was the opening OF
Geneva Park, by W. II. Sandu,ky.
\ few years ago this park was only
Il bleak hillside, to-day beautiful
shades, flowers, walks and fountains,
in fact everything to attract the eye,
is there, and last night was the grand
opening for the season. Speeches
were made by several visitors whose
names the writer failed to get, after
which was the balloon ascension.
Refreshments of all kinds were
served on the ground.
AT 10 o'clock the doors of the ball
room were opened and then COM
menced the Fantastic tip" All the
while Ford's celebrated silver cornet
band was sending forth its sweet mu-
sic. Everyone went away highly ell
tertaincd and speaking much for the
enterprise of the people Of Dawson.
Neither time nor money is spared to
make things pleasant for visitors.
To-day is the third anniversary OF
the discovery Of the great Dawson
chalybcatc water. Three years age
+ this was but an old waste field witt
f but three or four houses and thirty
people in the meighborhood. 1t was
not known then that one of the great.
est blessings to afflicted mankind was
hidden beneath the poor soil OF
: Tradewater station. The supreme
Ruler in His own wise dispensation,
revealed to us His goodness anC
while three years ago this was, you
may say, Il wilderness, to-day Tho
: name of Dawson is carried TO almost
every part of the United States. II
V this short time the little place Of thir
~ souls has grown almost to Il city
Of 1000 people. We see the invaliC
e with despair depicted on his counte'
c nance as he steps from the train; il
p 4 few minutes We see him at the life
Il giving well drawing, as it seems al
p most the drcgs from the glass. Hope
| bright hope is spreading over his face
/ Day by day we see the same wrecl
/ As he sips health from the flowing
/ fountain. At last the horrid, pale
:. face is painted With the hues o
, health and another soul is made hap
D py and restored to health. Is this
humbug! If it is, may The Lord pro
. vide us with many of the kind.
In conclusion, we would say, i
YOU are sick come TO Dawson ant
4 you will never repent ii. YOU ar
well, come to Dawson and you will
find amusements equal to any plac,
in the country. Our hotel accommo
dations are superb. We have one o
the best dramatic companies in tn
country that will remain here durin
the season and many other amust
ments that space will not permit II
to describe. Should you desire an
