THERE WAS FUN AFTER ALL
TWO YOUNG MEN PITTED AGAINST
EACH OTHER.

Dawson Has Another of Her Usually In
teresting Municipal Elections.
LowreS Wins.
There was political surprise in store
for the citizens of Dawson when they
reached their places of business early
Thursday morning.
An election for an alderman was to be
held that day, and the surprise consisted
of an oppc sltion candidate to MIR. j. 5.
Lowrey.
The election was to fill the vacancy
caused op the aldermanic board by the
resignation of Mr.. j. w. f. Lowrey. 1t
seemed as if no one wanted the position,
and it was not until week ago that Mr.
J. S. Lowrey consented to become can
ddate, thinking that there would be no
opposition.
After supper Wednesday night some of
Mr.. W. G. Kimbroughs friends induced
him to enter the race, and when 1T be-
came known next morning it caused a
sensation in local political circles.
Mr.. Kimbrough's announcement found
Mr.. Lowrey's friends without organza'
ton, and threw CONSERVATION into their
ranks. Both candidates soon organized
their forces, however, and then began
one of the most interesting and holly
contested of the many hard fought polit-
cal battles in Dawson.
Workers took the field for both candi-
dates, and the scene was busy one
around the polls all day.
When the polls were closed and the
votes counted the result was:
| Lowrey. .................. 1o3
| KinbrOugh. ............ 10
Lowrey's majority. .............. 46
Mr.. Lowrey is one of Dawson's promi-
nent young business men, and will make
a good alderman.
Mr.. Kimbrough is also a popular
young merchant, and his friends are sat
isfied that he would have made good
record on the city Legislative board had
he been elected. He made fine race
considering the fact that he became a
candidate only few hours before the
e lection.
In the main the election passed off
| pleasantly, and both sides are in good
| humOr.

THE JOINT DEBATE COUNTIES.
General Evans was the last Confeder-
ate general to surrender at Appomattox,
and he has his fighting qualities with
him still. Spalding county, the last to
act of the four where the joint debate S
were held, gave him 200 majority
Saturday. Spalding, too, was where Mr..
Atkinson performed the wagon boy act.
How Spalding could have lost sight of
the wagon boy it remains for the Griffin
News to explain. But thus 1t is never
theless, and Pulaski is the only county
in which joint debate was held that
went Cowetawards, CLARK, Floyd and
Spalding having ranged themselves un-
der the banner Of the old soldier. 1t
looks very much as il the committee had
done Mr.. Atkinson a great service when
il took Gen. Evans off him in the joint
debate. Three out of a possible four
is pretty good score.
TO ACT THIS WEEK.
So far as we have any record the follow
ing counties will elect delegates this
week: Banks and WilkerSon on Wednes-
day; kabun and Morgan on Friday;
Stewart on Saturday.

TEMPTING Meat Pies.

Miss Beecher a graduate of the Phila-
delphia Cooking school, is the inventor of
new and tempting way of serving in lit
tie meat pies left over beef and mutton
Chop the meat as for hash, and to every
half pint add half teaspoonful of onion
juice, a tablespoonful of butter, half tea
spoonful of salt and a dash of red pepper,
teaspoonfuls of milk and beaten eggs.
Heat this mixture over the fire, but do
not cook it, and have ready about pint
of boiled rice Ga oupful before cooking).
Butter individual earthen molds and line
them with the rice, fill In with the meat
mixture and cover the top with rice. Stand
1t in pan Of boiling water and bake quar-
ter of an hour Serve in the molds, placed
on plates, with sprig of parsley on each,
or turn on plates and serve with q brown
sauce. The pies make nice dinner or

Useful window Desks.

One of tho most convenient and alto
gether satisfactory contrivanccs quite In
the power of woman to manipulate is q
window desk.
Take a board about 10 inches wide and
saw 1t the length Of tho window sill Put
small iron hinges on II and screw 1t to
the SILL 80 that 1t can hang down against
the under wall when desirable.
Tack a narrSw strip of wood under the
board, near the front edge. Resting on
the floor and wedged under this cleat there
Is prop of planed wood, slender and neat
looking. You can put beading around
she board with small brads, and stain 1t
Ill cherry or some other color.
The sill holds pens, pencils and Ink
stands, and large blotter laid on the
board is most desirable writing pad.
This idea comes from an art student in
Paris who dotes on her window desk.
1t will be found useful in the nursery as
place for FASTING pictures, drawings,
etc, and when done with can be swung
down and out of the way.

Many of us are unhappily handicapped
from birth by Ill health. Then all that
we can do is to try to keep as we'll as
possible and to determine that the weak

upon the mind; when "one's back is
bad and ones legs are queer" then to
make an effort to forget this and to fill
the mind so full of cheerfulness that the
locker on will believe one beautiful Is the
greatest heroism. My dear girl, take care
of yourself. Try to keep well and cheer
full. Few people die from overwork.

In Touch with the Children.

The wisest mother keeps In touch with
her children, makes them think that chill
dren are to be talked with and reasoned
with in spite of the saying, "Children
should be seen and not heard" that has
brought more misery to the square inch in
q good many childish hearts than anybody
ever stopped to consider whether 1t would
or not.
If grown people are going to talk things
over before children, they ought to be very
careful that the young members of the
family arrive at a clear understanding Of
the conversation. AS sure as guns child
is going to talk on the same subject just
as soon as the chance offers, and one never
knows the harm that will be done.
Children are SO easily influenced and
led, and there are always those to lead
that 1t is wisdom for mothers to have the
tightest hold Of the reins and the fullest
sympathy and confidence in the young
peoples aims and ambitions, -Bu6dlo Ne,os.

A Word to the Sleepless.

DR.. J. f. Huxley of Maidstone Eng
land, thinks he has hit upon the natural
remedy for slceplessness. lis, in brief to
aurl under the clothes like kitten or put
the head under the wing like hen. He
says This insomnia seems to be now
universal affection. We live wrongly,
sit up late and overwork the brain, and
then go to bed in an excited condition. No
one seems to have hit upon the natural
remedy. l think l have. People take
choral and the like at their peril, and tho
fatal consequence not seldom ensucs. 1t
Is all wrong, for you cannot control the
dose required for the exact circumstances
But try natures plan instead. Lower the
supply of oxygen to the blood, produce u
little asphyxia, limit the quantity of air
to the lungs, and the heart and circulation
becoming quicker the brain loses its slim
ulant and sleep follows.
when you find yourself in for a sleep
less night, cover your head with the bed
clothes and breathe and rebreathe only tho
respired air Thus you may reduce the
stimulating oxygen and fall asleep. There
is no danger, When asleep, you are sure
to disturb the coverings and get as much
fresh air as you require, or, when once
drowsiness has been produced, it is easy
to go on sleeping though the air be fresh.
What do the cat and dog when they pre-.
pare to sleepS They turn around, general
ly three times, and lastly bury their noses
in some hollow in their hair, and Off they
go. They are in no danger, although it
might look as if they were from the close
ness with which they imbed their noses. "

The AZtecs' Calendar Stone.

Coho Smith of Azle, Tex, author of the
book, Mine Hundred Miles Through
Mexico" sends some curious particulars
concerning "Montezuma' watch, or Mex
lean calendar stone" He says that he
was shown two stones, much resembling
mill bur, the guides claiming for each
the distinction of being the famous calen-
dar stone. The first that was shown Mr.
Smith was in the rear of the museum and
is believed to have been used for sacrihcial
purposes. 1t is now lying prone on four
stone supports, is sculptured all around
the edge with figures representing Indian
warriors under march, each with head
dress similar to that worn by the Co.
manches and the Kiowas. The whole up
per surface is full of grooves, troughs, etc.
The real calendar stone Mr.. Smith believes
to be in the foundation of the cathedral
1t is laid off in divisions representing the
signs of the Aztec zodiac, which are sculp-
turrd in relief. The priest who accom-
panied Mr.. Smith said that the curiously
divided lines represented the annual move
ment of the sun in the great mystic circle
This stone which is set in the cathedral
foundation with the face out, is perfectly
circular and about Is feet in diameter

The Delight OF Mankind.

Titus, the Roman emperor, was entitled
"the delight of mankind" Titus benefi-
cence was unboundcd, and it SO happened
that during his brief reign there was the
most urgent need of its exercise. In the
first year occurred the great eruption of
Vesuvius, overwhelming Herculaneum
and Pompeii and running numerous other
towns and villages. The next year fire
broke out in Rome, which ragged three days,
causing great destruction, and In the
tracks of these calamities followed dread
full pestilence. Titus dealt out gifts with
lavish hand to the houseless and ruined
sufferers. He even despoled the palaces
Of their valuable ornaments to obtain
money for distribution and schemed and
planned to furnish occupation for them.
He was now the idol of his subjects, the
'love and delight of the human race, "
but, unfortunately for that part of the hui
man race over which he ruled, in the com
mencement of the third year of his reign
he became suddenly i'll and died at his
patrimonial villa in the Sabine country

English WOmen's Handwriting.

Tho Pail Mall Gazette declares that the
educated English woman writes n worse
hand than the average shopman. Says The
Gazette; There is evidently something in
the weaker grasp of woman that makes "a
fair handwriting more difficult to her than
to man. And modern fashion recently
fattered this inability as it has hattered
Others. In no other age and in no other
country has the handwriting of men and
women been conventionally allowed to
take dissinilar forms as it has been in
England. 1t is much like the separation
that took place in studios-the DEGREES of
opinion that an uneducated person who
would not do at all as n man would do
well enough as woman"

Childrens hair requires more attention
than an adults in the way of cleaning

child's head is on rainy day, for then
they have to stay in the house and can he

Is perfectly dry, so AS to be free from a
chance of taking cold. The best shampoo
is lathcr of warm soft water and pure

the scalp assists the drying and is a good
stimulant us we'll for the hair. After
washing, the hair should be allowed to
dry thoroughly before touching the comb
or brush to it.-BoSton Courier.

had been given the older ones talked for
awhile about what they would like to do
and be when they grew to manhood and
womanhood, Little Annie, after listen
ing intently to what was being said, felt
that her turn had come, and, looking up
into mammals face, said with an air of
having finally settled the matter in her
own mind, And | shall be duchess

why, my darling, said mamma, with
an amused look, how can you be a
duchess!"

Ruskin on woman,s sphere.

Women must be either housewives OF

Into decay Wherever true wife comes
home is always around her. The stars
may be overhead, the glowworm in the
nights cold grass may be the fire at her
