A FACT
THE NEW STANDPIPE.
1t Has Been Completed and the
Water Pressure Tested.

The steel standpipe of the Dawson
Waterworks Co. was completed last
week and the tank filed Saturday
morning. Under the supervision OF
Superintendent J. A. Horsley section

The water came from the nozzle with
great force and a stream was easily
thrown several feet higher than the
Baldwin block and the McLain Drug
Co.'S. ubuilding, both of which are
among the highest structures in Daw-
son. The water probably reached
height of seventy-fve feet or more.
The new standpipe is one hundred
and twenty-nine feet in height and the

TERRELL HAS HER SHARE.
No New Free Mail Delivery Routes
Will Be Established.

Congressman Griggs writes that the
postoffice department will not estab'
llsh free mail delivery route along
the road from Dawson to Cottondale
and .Worner, for which petition was
recently sent to Washington.
The action of the department is
based on the ground that Terrell coun-
ty already has its share of free deliv-
cry routes, and that there are other
counties in the second district which
have not yet been supplied with this
convenience. Terrell must wait until
free delivery is established in all of
the other counties of the district be-
fore she gets any new routes.
We have bargain day" six days in
each week. Try US and be convinced.
