Dawson as a Winter Resort.

The location of Dawson is a most
desirable one. Situated on the spurs
OF the Blue Ridge mountains, it
has the advantages that result from
an elevation that enables il to take
IN a pure atmosphere, so desirable
to the health Of the body as well as
to the health Of the mind. he
rigors of severe winters we know
nothing Of, but we realize Just
enough cold to brace up both body
and mind, hy the excess of the life
giving oxygen which is always
found around US, and as to pneu~
monla, that scourge Of northern
climates. one rarely hears of sim
gle case occurring in our midst. In
the middle of our winters residences
are often left standing open from
top to bottom. without discom tort
to those within. The tall of frost is
always edough to kill out all
germs OF disease that may Turk
around us, just enough to place
land and atmosphere in condition
Of general good. So mild are our
winters that often four crops are
made upon the same land in one
season.
The germs OF disease cannot exist
in our midst, for all precautionary
measures are taken in our perfect
