SUNDAY Services.

Last Sunday morning was perfect
fall day in the beauty of its sunshine
and the exhiliarating feeling of the atmos-
phere. Everybody appeared to take ad-
vantage of the services at the various
churches. DR.. Patterson, at the Baptist
church, preached from the text, ''Bear ye
one another's burdens" and the Rev. o.
B. Chester, at the Methodist church, used
the text, Everyone must give an account
of himself to God" Both of these SER
mons made marked impression for
good upon the mirds and hearts of all
present. The night, under the flood of
a beautiful moonlight, was counter
part of the beauty of the sunshine be-
fore it, and at that time the various
churches were filled with throngs of
worshippers to close the first fall Sab
bath day in prayer and praise.

Board of Health.

The charter of the city of Dawson pro-
vides that the mayor and aldermen may
appoint BOARD of Health for said
city," Evidently this means something,
and if there ever was time in the his
tory of Dawson when it would be desir-
able TO have such board that time is
now. Not that there is sickness prevail
ing at present in our city, bat because
it is desirable to keep disease away from
our midst The unprecedented guam
tity of rain, during the past three months,
will have tendency to produce sickness
should the weather become dry in Sep
TENDER. Then, too, the cholera is spread
ing rapidly in Europe and physicians say
it is almost sure to be brought to the
United States. A city that is in a clean
ly condition would stand much better
chance to escape the ravsges of this
dreaded pestilence than one whose san
tary laws were not observed. Let us
have vigilanG and patriotic Board of
Health in our city? What say you, Mr..
Mayor and Messrs. Aldermen?

THAT THIRD PARTY CONVENTION.
The Baker County Spiritualist Offered Up
on the Third Party Altar.


on the Third Party Altar
1t is DR.. |. Fl. Hand, of Baker. for Con-
gress on the Third Party ticket.
The Third Party convention of the Sec
ond Congressional district met in Albany
Thursday, but instead of being real con-
vention it materialized IN asecret caucus
held in a room at the Central Hotel.
1t was given out by the leaders of the
party THAT the convention would be
held in the Dougherty county court
house, but it seems that when the crowd
got together for sort of preliminary
caucus in room at the Central Hotel
they decided to nominate their candidate
for Congress then and there and keep
away from the gaze of the eyes of the
public.
There were about thirty delegates
present, all the counties in the district
except Dougherty, which has no Third
Party, being accounted for
1t didn't take long for them to do what
they had to do. DR.. /. III. Pand, of Ba-
ker, was nominated for Congress without
much opposition, and resolutions were
passed unqualitiedly endorsing Weaver,
Watson and Peek.
A committee was appointed to arrange
for the establishment of a paper in the
district L. o. Jackson, ct Decatur, is
on this committee. They will, in all
probability purchase the Bainbridge
Globe, which has already exhibited some
Third party tendencies.
