We were mistaken last week in


convene the next time on the fiftl
Sunday III June. We should have
said Saturday before the 4th Sun
day in June. Sardis is the place
of meeting.
Early Superior court was adj
journed last Saturday ON account
Of the sickness of his Honor, Jno
T. Clarke. Solicito- General Guer-
ry arrived home on Mouday,where
he will remain the balance of the
week. He will attend court in
Miller county next week.
For the benefit Of the many anx-
ious friends who daily enquire if
we are going to the Exposition,
we publicly say yes-in the sweet
bye and bye, when delinquents
all pay up. We have been in the
habit of answering this question
about two dozen times day. Give
US a rest.
Owen Nelson Institute is in a
tiourishing condition and every
thing moves along smoothly.
Those interested are more than
fortunate in procuring the SER
vices of Prof. Quillian. He is a
gentleman and a scholar, a COM
petent and efficient teacher, and
stands pre-eminent III the estima-
ton Of his patrons.
Fred Clark is not going to the
Exposition. He says he will util-
ize the money that would be spent
on the trip by buying chairs and
bedsteads. This seems as though
he intends taking unto himself a
rib in the near future. Who ever
gets Fred Clark will get about as
clever boy as ever wore specta-
cles.
We desire to return thanks to
the Chas. A. Vogeler Co., of Bal
timore, ,proprietors of the Red Star
Cough Cure, one of the best cough
medicines manufactured for a
nice little corkscrew Editors
never have any use for corkscrews,
but we're going to keep ours for
the use of friends. Bring your bot
ties to our Office and cpen them.
One cannot look Ground now
without feeling the sigor of ma
ture, which is doing ats. work in a
hurry. Green grass is spreading
its picnic carpet over the bleak
barrens, hope radiates in every
sunbeam, the tinselled forest is
moved gracefully by a balmy
breeze ndfrqgrance floats upon
the wings of the aarolling birds.
There were eight persons receiv.
ed into the Methodist church last
Sunday afternoon. Their names
are: Master Pet Hoyl, Misses
Trudie and Gertie Christie, Lollie
Ironmonger, Blanch Roberts, Sal.
lie Will Pickett, Laura Tyner and
Florence Robinson. The meeting
will continue until to night and, per.
haps, longer.
t The Lumpkinitcs a-6n'tso,l any

rates while there is demand fol

however, and Lum Dkin will still

village; and then it, citizens will
curse and snort an. say that the

Last Monday afternoon the
military boys had a drill around
the city in their rev uniforms.
The uniforms are as sspretty as any
we ever saw and the members pre-
sent a hadsome aPH Hearance. Cap

and no town has dssandso.ner :
better drilled milhiTy company
than Dawson.
There is no lones any doubt
but that our artesisa water has
virtues. A citizelf of Webster
county drank frecls of it all day
last Monday, and by Tuesday
morning he had gs5s ed one pound
in flesh. He weighed just before
retiring Monday NIGHT and just
after getting up Tuesday morning.
The same scales w$se used both
times.
Dave Laing has an egg. It is
a real Turkey egg, too. 1t was
brought from the Exposition and
presented to Davcs99y charming
young lady. Dave7s in love with
the sad egg, also with the said
young lady. He u real proud of
| it, and it adorns watch chain.

will be, we can't oggsactly tell.
