Small Expenses for Repairs.

The cost Of keeping a gas motor car in
repair although not yet fully demon
strated for a long period, is estimated at
not more than per cent annually of its
original cost, and with ordinary care such
a car should last as long as two or three
outilts OF horses. So far, therefore. as ex-
perience has yet demonstrated the me-
chanical efficiency Of the gas motor car

tice of law at Alapaha, Beman
county, in the fall of 1888, where he re-
NAMED until the winter of 1856 and
then removed to Dawson.
Judge Griggs was elected solicitor
general by the Legislature in 1892 and
later resigned that position to accept
the judgeship of the Pataula circuit.
He was appointed to that position in
the summer of 1898 by Gov. Northern
until the meeting of the next legisla-
ture and in the fall of that year was
elected without opposition by that
body to fill out the remainder of the
term. In 1894 Judge Griggs was re-
elected, again without opposition, for
a full term, but the first of last Janu-
airy resigned to enter the race for con-
gressional hOnors. While serving as
judge, he was one of the youngest men
on the bench in Georgia having each
time been elected before his thirty
third year and in each instance with
ouU OppoSitIon as no one cOulu De
found to oppose him, so great was
his popularity.
Judge Griggs is a member of the
Baptist church, and of the Masonic and
Knights of Pythias orders. In the
latter named order, he was the first
chancellor commander of Dawson
lodge number 81; has served in various
offices of that lodge, and was it's rep
resentatiye to the grand lodge at the
last meeting Of that body.

HON. A. ]. BALDWIN.

The chief executive of Dawson is one
of those liberal, whole-souled and hos
pitable gentlemen so often seen in the
South and one who bears the many
marked characteristics of the southern
people.
A. j. Baldwin was born in Randolph
county March 23rd, l847, but came to
this place then but a farming section
in 1850, and has since resided here. Mr..
b lldwin followed farming and also at
tended the country schools in his young.
er days. In 1866 he entered the com
m ercial life as clerk in his fathers store,
and in 1868 entered business for him
self, buying the stock of B ,ldwin, Har-
per q Co., and forming the now popular
establishment of A. j. Baldwin & Co.
Mr.. Baldwin has served as city clerk,
mayor and on the board of aldermen and
was elected the second time to the may
orally in 1891 and has continuously held
that Office since, being repeatedly re-
elected. He is one of the best posted
men about city matters and takes deer
interest In tie local government.

NJ. G. EDWARDS. Jr.

The city is represented by NJ. c. Ed
wards, Jr., young attorney of great
promise, who is the peer of any lawyer
of his experience in this circuit
Mr.. Edwards took high stand in the
law class of 1890 with which he
graduated at the University of &c rgia,
and since then has been developing an
enviable practice in all the courts of the
state.
Mr. Edwards has been urged to enter
the race for solicitor general of the Pa
taula circuit, and in case he decides to
do so, which is very probable, will prove
one of the strongest aspirants for the of.
fee 1t might here be stated he is most
thoroughly equipped for that position
by virtue of his experience as a criminal
lawyer. The city's interest is in good
hands.

HON. j. M. GRIGGS.

One Of the most prominent candi-
dates for the democratic nomination,
and the probable next congressman
from this, the second congressional dis
trict, is Hon. j. M. Griggs, one of Daw-
sons most prominent citizens and
practicing attorneys.
Judge Griggs, although comparative
ly young man, has rapidly risen in
his profession and has successfully and
very creditably filed the positions OF
solicitor general and judge of the Pa
taula circuit.
His early life was spent in hard work
upon a farm, and until his seventeenth
year had obtained but little education.
He attended the common schools at La
Grange, Ca, until his twelfth year,
and from then until his seventeenth
year his time was so occupied upon a
farm THAI his education was neglected.
After attainining that age, the Judge
attended school at Elberton, Ca, and
and one year later began teaching. He
then entered the University at Nash
vile, Tenn, graduating in 1881. Judge
Griggs once more engaged in teaching,
I'll me at Palatka, Fla, where he remain
ed until the spring of 1888. That year
he removed to Canton, Ca, where he
continued teaching, and commenced

McLAlN BROS & co.
A POPULAR DRY GOODS, CLOTH
ING AND FURNISHING
STORE.
ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE HOUSES
IN DAWSON.-A STOCK THAT IS
TRULY METROPOLITAN.

IRULG MEIROPOLlIANs
No line of business protrays the
growth, wealth and population of a
city to greater degree than its dry
goods and clothing emporiums.
A model establishment in this.line is
the dry goods and clothing house of
McLain Bros & Co. which since it's es-
adjustment in 1888 has ranked with
the leaders in this section.
There could be no better evidence of
the sterling worth of this house than its
rapid growth and popularity, for the
American people of today are not slow
in discriminating in favor of an estab-
lishment which has a name for fair deal
ing and honest goods.
The new stock is selected with care by
w. A. McLain who has recently return
ed from an extended trip to New York
where he has been enabled to make a
close inspection of the many new goods
recently put upon the market by eastern
houses.
The spring stock of McLain Bros &
c.. is the largest and one of the pretties t
ever offered by the firm, especially is
this so in the dry goods, fancy wooden
and dress goods, linen effects, persian
silks, laces. embroderies etc, lace cur
tains and quilts, the latter two articles
being purchased in case quantities,
The clothing and furnishing depart
ments of this popular house is stocked
With most complete line of the latest
styles in clothing, hats shoes etc. and is
unexcelled in the city.
McLain Bros & Co. make a speciality
of the famous Onyx brand of hose, a
most superior grade and one universally
used throughout the states.
The second floor of their building is
stocked with most complete line of
carpets, furniture, etc. and full line of
collins is also carried
The business done by this firm is a
'arge and prosperous one and the trade
extends not only throughout this county
but into portions of Randolph, Lee,
Webster and Canhoun counties.
McLain Bros & Co are among the
largest advertisers and weekly have many
rare bargains to offer the public through
the medium of THE News. So if you
are looking for bargains don't fail to read
their advertisements.
Mr.. Nolan, and the trade territory no y
covers parts of Florida, east Alabama
and southwest Georgia. 1t is certainly q
pleasure to record these facts and the
public will undoubtedly join THE News
in wishing the McLain Drug Company
God speed and success in the jobbine

A Review of the Different In
terests of the City.
CHIEF FACTORS OF PROGRESS
The Men Whose Push, Vim and Determine
ii n Make Dawson One of the Best
Business Points in Southwest
Georgia.

The "mile-stones of the past are
nearly all left behind. The march of
progress has been taken up and Daw-
sons arms of commerce now stretches
out and encompasses large territory
that once gave its business to other
cities of southwest Georgia.
The distinction which the city enjoys
from commercial and financial stand
point is due largely to the business
men of the city who haYe sought not
only to advance their own immediate
interests, but those of the city at large
as well.
The patriotism and necessary en-
deavor has brought it's reward and
Dawson is known today, all over Geor-
gia and many parts of Alabama, as one
of the best trading points and substan-
tial cities in this section of Georgia.
In the following columns is shown
representative list of the various inter
ests of the city. 1t is by no means
complete list, as it does not pretend to
give each and every individual doing
business in the city. The idea is simply
to have a representative from the lead
ers of the various branches of trade in
order that those who are strangers may
see the diversified interests of the
commercial city.

In the latter named year he was elected
by the people city clerk and last De-
cember was again honored by reelection

tits delightful task to the ever ur-

in letters of shining gold the success OF
new institutions which achieve glitter

struggling strife of business ups and
downs. Particularly is it a pleasing
task to chronicle the success of young
men. An example which may be here
cited as affording THE News apt illus

and the above named firm placed upon
the roster of the city's wide awake bust

possessed of great bu mess sagacity and
who have lent their h cans and time to-
ward building up such business as any
city might feel proud in laying claim to.
