growth and advancement of this.
the Empire State of the South.
In no town within its borders
haSEhe march OF progress beeA
more marked than in the thriving
and enterprising county seat OF
Terrell county-Dawson.
In answer to the increasing de-
sire for information regarding this
growing city, the News is pleased
to give. in full, facts and figures
that will show what has been done
there in very short space of time.
Dawson Il the centre of the finest
agricultural section of the State.
It is on the Southwestern railroad,
ninety>seven miles below Macon,
and 10 the junction Of the above
road and the Columbus Southern,
a new road running from Colum-
bus to Albany.
In years past when the whole of
Southwest Georgia was considered
a death hole of malaria and the
growth of that section was retarded
by It's unhealthiness, the town of
Dawson was always regarded as
healthy point.
Time, with its changes, has
largely benefited alike this sec>
ton and this town. Marshes and
swamps have been drained, tins
bered lands have been cleared and
now the places are few indeed that
do not rank as high as any in
Georgia as regards health.
Terrell, the county of which
Dawson is the capital, is recog-
nized as among the leading agri-
cultural counties of Georgia, and
her vast resources are matters of
amazement to all who have studied
them. The confidence that is felt
in the future of the town, and lis
rapid growth in the past twelve
months are only the outcome OF q
realization and appreciation of the
county'snatural advantages.

aroused and, unlike those of far off
Pennsylvania, they know something
about how prohibition really works

ent for two days, both mornings and

ing thereupon asked those who fav-
Ored prohibition to rise-and with

those who favored high license were
called upon, but two lonely men got
up. It was the first battle and q

item in your last issue concerning a

would say. first, that I would be very
much obliged to the person having

any proof that my dog or any other
dog had anything to do with said
colt beng hurt, as far as I can learn
no one saw my dog run the colt,
neither did any one see the colt run
into any fence. The fact of the mat
ter was that some time during the
night seven or eight head of horses
belonging to Simson Hodge had
broke out of his pasture which was
fenced with wire fence and when
found the next morning the colt was
found to De in a dying condition, evi-

No paper can be kept up without
steady home patronage, and everyone
IS interested, or should be, in keeping
up a home paper. If a railroad or
factory is wanted, the papers are ez-
pected to work for it. IF public
meeting is wanted for any purpose,
the newspaper is called upon for a
free notice. If any of the societies
have "a supper or reception of any
kind, the newspaper is expected to
give the necessary notice. The news
