SOME OF DAWSON'S NEEDS.
And Several Things That She Docs Not Need


And Several Things That She Docs Not Need.
Among the few things needed in Daw
son are:
A cotton factory.
Seventy-fve new residences.
A 1O0room hotel.
Five hundred live men.
Extension of the Columbus Southern
railroad.
More manufacturing establishments.
More public spirit, more vim, push and
''get up and get
Men with large wallets and men with
large hearts.
Men who love to see the city grow and
prosper.
Men who will help along in some way
every good work.
Men wlo are willing to put their
shoulder to the wheel and lift.
Dawson does not need unburied dead
men,-cmonic grumblers. croallers, and
ice-burgs.
Men who have grumbled ever since
they were born.
Men who ought never to have ,been
born.
Men who meet every new conner and
tell them that Dawson is growing too
fast for it to be a solid growth.
Men who do not want to see Dawson
grow-wto are always telling how other
places grow and viii not move away.
Men who love themselves better than
all the world beside.
Dawson can do without men who will
pull down others to build up themselves.
Let all the live men take hold togeth-
or
Let everyone feel that the growth of
the city will benefit them, and Dawson
will continue to grow.
If you cannot give money, give good
will. 1t will cost nothing, and you will
rest better at night.
One who will not help a town grow
knows in his heart when he retires at
night that through his croaking another
new enterprise has gone down. Yet such
men live and move and eat their bacon.
The world also moves on, and soon thev
will be food for the worms. They will
do little good when they know it not.
Better do it now. Better help to build
up Dawson. Help to make it the pride
OF southwest Georgia, and the home of
thousands.

AN OLD CHESTNUT REVIVED.

AND THE FACTS IN THE CASE INCORRECT
LY KrATED.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of last
Saturday revived the old question of
glanders in Dawson, and devoted three
fourths of a column in fine print to some
glazing inaccuracies in an effort to nut in
better light the veterinary surgeon of
that city who came hele to examine the
sick horses.
The article in question is an interview
with Mr.. Jno. Fox, who had sold stock
in Dawson this winter and was on his
way to his Kentucky home when inter
viewed by the Enquirer-Sun.
In the interview Mr.. Fox is reported
as saying:
up to date five head of stock have
died in Dawson, four of which were OF
dered killed by the Columbus veterinary.
and the other pronounced by him dis
eased, and others win die" Mt.
Fox is also reported as saying that ''he
was asked by Mayor Cheathmn to inter
view the Columbus surgeon again, and
that he had just had talk with him
when seen by thereporter. The surgeon
stated to me that he would stake all that

become cloggcd. and the oil does not
pass through them freely. A clear

When washing windows, looking

monia in the water. This will save
labor. and clean them much more
effectively. giving rs well n much finer
polish. For general cleaning, am
monia in the water will remove dirt.
smoke. grease. etc, much better than
ANYTHING else.
Do not wash combs unless absolutely
necessary. Water will make the teeth
split and the comb rough. Small

obtained at little expense, and with
one of these the comb may he thuf-
