pie Saturday and the merchants

hauled cut by the car load.
we do not propose to get on a

assertion that Dawson is more
thlckly dotted with new BUILDINGS
than any other town of her size in
this part of the State.
Dawson needs more houses, and
those who own lots should build
on them or sell them at reasonable
prices to those who will. Then
Dawson's steady progress would
take on a more rapid growth.

The Yong Mea Crow EIoquent.

Messrs. Davis & Locke have
some remarks in this issue on the
subject of spring clothing, which
they discuss with a fuencv and
perspicacity that is 'oniy equaled
by Col. Query when in one of his
barbecue moods. Davis & Locke
may not he quite so picturesque in
description MS the Colonel, but they
seem to get there with a unanmitv
that fairly takes the ribs out If
their competitors. They have a
magnificent stock of clothing and
can show something in the way Of
spring styles that will make the
average dudes mouth water.
Yielding to the demands of their
trade in this line, they have purs
chased an unusually large stock of
the finer grades of clothing, and
their rapid sales within the last few
days fully justify the wisdom of the
venture. Their dress suits are ele-
giant. Go and see them.

A DISMAL FAILURE.-A man in the

natural as life," and placed it in his
front yard to brighten of tramps.
"You onery-lookin' cuss," said the first
tramp that saw the deception, "I1l set
tie yer,n and picking up a stone he
hurled it at the cast-iron fraud and
struck it right between the eyes. The
missile glanced off, crashed through a
French plate window, and nearly frac-
tured the skull Of the head of the house.
The tramp escaped. The cast-iron dog
has been relegated to the stable, and
a flesh and blood animal, with a head as
big as q water-bucket, put on duty.
