NE OF DAWSON'S MOST PROMI-
NENT CITIZENS PASSES AWAY.

Captain w. G. Dillon, one of the
best known citizens of Dawson, was
claimed by death about one o'clock
Sunday morning.
Captain Dillon had suffered with
chronic complaint for some time, but
it gave him no serious trouble until
few days ago, when he was compelled
TO take to his bed. From that time
until his death he grew rapidly
worse. Friday DR., Mataur, Of
Macon, was called into consultation
with local physicians, but the suffer-
er was beyond the aid ct human skill,
and nothing could be done to check
the fast flowing tide Of earthly exist
ence,
aptain Dillon was SO years of age
and leaves three sons and one daugh-
ter, all grown or nearly so and long
since bereft of the tender care of
loving mother, around whom the ten.
drills of his heart were closely en-.
twined.
The funeral services were held at
the late home of the deceased Sunday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, Rev. j.
B.Johnstone impressively performing
the last sad rites. From there
large concourse Of sorrowing friends
followed the remains to their last
resting place in the city cemetery.
Captain Dillon was a native of
Morgan county and in early life mov>
ed to Augusta. There he was COM
nected with the postofics for several
years, and afterwards served as
chief OF police of that city with dis
tinction and marked bravery, always
being faithful and conscientious in
the discharge of every duty, About
20 years ago he moved TO southwest
Georgia and in 1879 located in Daw4

social and kind disposition, and made
friends Of all who knew him. He
was a man of great information,
broad minded and liberal IN his
views, and took a deep interest in
political AID industrial affairs. His
charity was almost unbounded. His
purse was never closed to any poor
and deserving person, and there are
many who remember him gratefully
for his hberality to them IN need.
lie contributed literally to the
churches of the city, and never fails
ed to respond with his means when
help was needed. He was strong
and untiring advocate of the
education of the masses, and
Was one of the first to agitate
the public school system now in force
IN Dawson, During his life he educ
Gated a number of poor children
who, without the generosity of this
good benefactOr, would have been
cast upon the rude breakers of lite
to battle against the world in ignos
rance.
Death came to him peacefully, al
it well might have done, Tor the
record of his good deeds is embalmed
upon the hearts of many who remem.
Der him with deep gr ,titude ant
loving esteem.
Captain Dillon leaves an estate O
about $4,000. Colonel j. q, Parks

of our nation infancy, through the inter
necine struggle of its manhood, kept us a
great, free and prosperous nation, in which
labor was not only yrespected and employed
but was so compensated that want and
distress such as now weigh upon us were
unknown.
HEED POVERTY S LESSON.
"Let the lesson of poverty, too recent
and too plain to be gainsaid or denied, be
needed, and let there be no fear that a
system that so wonderfully protected labor,
developed business enterprises and secured
to the nation a contented and prosperous
people in the past, will do aught but bring
to us a return of like prosperity, the pre-
dictions of disaster of our opponents to the
contrary notwithstanding.
No man of his age was better known
throughout the United States than he.
4 member of congress for four years, he
commanded the admiration and respect of
all his associates in that body as a scholar
ly student and profound thinker? No
man had ever assailed his character or in
any way questioned his integrity or moral
worth. His character is fit example for
the young men of this country. He has
shown in all his public utterances that he
loves his country and his countrymen, and
that he sympathizes with them in their
distress He has also shown that he be-
lieved the financial system which makes
gold the standard of values was in great
degree the cause of the depression and
financial distress prevalent throughout the
land; that the condition now existing will
continue while the present monetary sys-
TEN lasts and that he would fain return to
the use of both gold and silver as they
were used prior to 1873, and he has pro-
posed such change of the financial sys-
TEN by the usual methods
CHARACTER OF Mr.. BRYAN.
Such was the character and such the
political opinions of the candidate known
to his countrymen, who, by their repre-
sentatives in convention, selected from
every state in the Union, put him in NOM
ination for the highest office within the
gift of the American people.
''This is a critical period in our national
history Our industrial and financial in
dependence of other nations, and peoples
is involved in this campaign, and we firmly
believe there will be no return of prosper
ity until we shall have changed our fnan-
cial system so as to restore the bimetallic
system established by our fathers of the
republic; ard, so believing, we urge all
friends of gold and silver as standard
money, and the opponents of single gold
standard, to give to Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Sewall their hearty support In advising
this course we do not consider it necessary
that they shall abandon or surrender their
political views on other questions.
Profoundly impressed with the impor-
tance of the issues of this campaign, for
ourselves and our associates, we respect
fully submit the foregoing to the candid
consideration Of the American people:
