the CITIZENS MEET.
Ind Discuss the Question Of a Public
School System.

Ind Discuss the Question of PQbG
School System.
According to the announcement
made through the News, a mas
meeting was held at the court hous,
on last Friday evening to discuss
a public school system fer the city
A good number of citizens respond
ed to the call, and the meeting wa,
organized by calling Judge r. F.
Simmons to the chair.
Then opened lively and inter,
esting discussion.
Prof. j. w. T. Lowrey was the
first to take the floor, and in a
strong speech advocated the svs-
tenn for Dawson. He was follow.
ed by Sol. j. g. Parks in a
telling effort in behalf of the pros
posed movement. He called es
pecial attention to the successful
operation of the public school sys>
tenn at Americas and showed from
a printed report of the superinten-
dent of public schools of that
city that the cost of educating
a child there was less than SO a
year.
Col. Jim Query then, in his u.s.
ual concise and elegant style, made
a stirring speech in behalf of the
measure. He fully appreciated
the need, if not the necessity of
such schools for Dawson. During
the delivery of his speech Colonel
Query was frequently loudly aps
plauded, AT the close of This talk Col.
Query introduced a resolution
authorizing the Mayor to publish
notice that a bill would be INTRODUCES
ed in the legislature establishing
system of public graded schools
in Dawson.
This brought to their feet M,ssrs.
S. r. Christie and N, w. Dozier,
who were opposed to taking action
on the resolution at Friday nights
meeting. They advocated the call
ing Of another meeting before
the resolution was acted upon.
They wanted a larger meeting
and a fuller expression Of the peo-
pie.
The resolution was not acted
upon and another meeting was
called fer last night to definitely
determine the matter.
At the time of going to press
last night the meeting was in tull
blast, aud the News is unable to
give the result.
Those favoring a system of pub
lie schools seemed to have facts and
arguments on their side, and if the
movement. was defeated we feel
that mistake has been made.
The opponents of the movement
tear the increase in taxation. While
it is not denied that there will be
a small increase in taxes, still it
would hardly be perceptible.
1t is enormously thought by
some that taxes would be increased
as much as $500 per thousand,
but it was clearly demonstrated by
the speakers that the increase cam
not possibly go over SIS.
With the six months free tut
tiou furnished by the state, part
of the Peabody fund and the
whole the liquor license, there
would be but little left for the city
to pay.

4 CompInHlf.

A merchant hands in the follow
ing +:
People who go into dry goods
stores, whether they 90 there to
trade or not, should be careful how
they lean on the goods displayed
for sale. There are many bolts
of calico and other goods in this
town which have been damaged by
men leaning on them with their
dirty clothes. A great many peo-
pie are in the habit of lolling and
sitting on the counters, which
is a great source of annoyance to
the merchants and clerks. You
certainly can stand up long enough
to transact your business, and if
you cannot, the establishment will
gladly furnish you a chair, but for
goodness sake keep off the counters
and stacks of goods"

SEVEN THOUSAND JUGS.
Frank 8etbune Receives Three Car
Loads ofJgqs,

L0d0S oTJUgS,
Strangers in the city last FRS
day were surprised to see SO many
jugs being hauled through the
streets of the city.
They we're naturally under the
impression that they were the pro.
duct of one of Dawson's big mans
ufacturing enterprises.
While not made here, these jugs
were to be used by one of Dawson's
enterispring citizens. They were
sent here to be filed by Frank
Bethune, but for who is nobody's
business.
Mr.. Bethune will send some of
these jugs to Shellman, some to
Cuthbert, and some to other places.
He has been prevailed upon to use
a few of them here at home, but as
the supply of ''bug juice" is equal
to the demand here he will mostly
use bottles in this immediate Vi
entity.
In Cuthbert and Shellman it is
different. The supply is pot equal
to the demand, hence the jugs.
The jugs, it is calculated, will
hold five thousand gallons of whis>
key and fifty thousand DRINKS for
an ordinary man.
This tends to show that Daw sons
Importance as distributing point
is recognized throughout a large
section of Georgia especial y the
'dry" section.

DEATH or JN0. r. PACE.
One OF DGWson'S Most Promising Nung
Zen cIaimed By the Grim Renper.

One OF DaWsOn's Most Promising Hung
Ren Claimed BY the Grim Reaper.
On last Thursday afternoon the
angel OF death visited Dawson and
bore away into the spirit world the
soul of one of our most promising
and popular young men.
"John Pace is dead!"
Such were the words that
brought sorrow to every heart and
spread a gloom over the city.
Only a few days ago this young
man was at his place of business
in good health, with not the slight,
est suspicion that to-day he would
be cold and lifeless clay. But
suddenly he was stricken down,
and almost before his serious i |.
mes was known, his death was anc
nouaced.
Mr.. Pace was about twenty>
three years of age and a consistent
member of the Baptist church. To
dwell upon the character OF John
Pace would be unnecessary, Tor
those who knew him knew moths
ing but good of him.
At the time OF his death he was
assistant cashier of the First State
Bank, and by his own labor was
educating brother for the min
istry.
Friday morning the funeral
sery ices were conducted at the Bap.
It's church by Rev. B. W. Davis,
and from there his remains were
inferred in the city cemetery in the
presence of a large number of sors
rowing relatives and friends.
