DAWS0N'S DISGRACE.
For Twenty-Eight Years Her School Build
ing Has Withstood the Elements.

TOT lWehly-LlgHt IedfS neF oChoo' ou'iu-
ing Has Withstood the Elements.
Nearly every visitor to the city crit
icises Dawson's school building.
For twenty-eight years it has lifted
it's steeple skyward, and now, besides
being barn-like and out of date, it has
begun to decay.
The building was erected in 1872 and
first opened it's doors under the princi-
palship of Professor Dodd. Some time
before it's erection the material of
which it was to be built and plans for
its construction were discussed at
length, and it was decided at first that
it should be built of brick. This de-
termination was not carried out, how
ever, and the material used was wood.
At that time the building was con-
sidered very handsome one and Daw-
son was regarded as having very fine
school house. AS time went on it was
marked by the erection of finer insti-
buttons of learning, built of brick and
stone, and the wooden one here lost its
prestige as handsome structure, un-
til, at the present day, it is regarded
as q makeshift.
Dawson's most pressing need is a
modern school building with all the
latest equipments,

WILKINSON CAPTAIN OF GUARDS.
He Received the Unanimous Vote Of the
Company thursday NIGHT.

Lieutenant H. A. Wilkinson, of the
Dawson Guards, was elected captain of
the company at a special meeting
Thursday night. His popularity
with the members of the company
was evidenced by the fact that he
had no opposition and received
the unanimous vote of the COM
pany. Lieutenant Wilkinson has had
the rank of first lieutenant for several
months and has made model second
officer. Since Captain L. c. Hoyl left
for Washington. D. c., the command
of the company has been in the hands
of Lieutenant Wilkinson, and he has
been practically captain of the company
since that time.
The election of Lieutenant Wilkin-
son to the position of captain leaves a
vacancy in the Office Of FIRST lieuten-
ant, and an election for this place will
soon be held. There are only two an
nounced candidates for the lieutenancy,

DEAR SIR "The Golden Dog"-its
the nickname they've given the dog on
the label that goes on the L. & NJ.
paint cans. House-owners say that he
is golden TO them, for he covers the
paint that lasts them longer and costs
them less than thin paints or white
lead. There is a reason for it. We
put our whole business energy into
making the best paint, the cheapest
paint, the only paint that stands the
addition of large quantities of lioseed
oil. We don't ask you to take our word
for it, but put an insurance guarantee
on every can. Please oblige us by OBJ
tanning our color card from the Nc

SHOT HIS SON.
MistOok Him for a "Varmint"
While Camping.

A few nights ago while a negro man
and his son were camping on Mocha
way creek the former heard a noise
during the night, and, thinking it was
a wild "varmint'' of some kind prowl-
ing around, picked up his gun and fired
in the direction from whence the noise
came. A yell that arose out of the still
ness of the night showed the old man
that it was not a beast that had dis
turbed his slumbers and that he had
not shot without effect.
