cember q, 1902:

taken from US one of our most beloved

Her influence among US was always
for good. AS she lived, SO she died,
and was ready when the SUMMONS
came. Well can we say, "none knew
her but to love her, none named her
but to praise" We mourn with the
children in their sore bereavement, and

DAWSON HAS RECEIVED
NEARLY 10000 BALES.
DESPITE SHORT CROP YEAR COTTON
RECEIPTS ARE FLATTERING.
Only 1850 Bales Remain in Warehouses,
Comparatively High Prices Caus-
Ing the Depletion.

Only l,060 bales of cotton remain in
Dawson's four warehouses. The num-
her of bales held here has been rapidly
diminished on account of the preva-
lence of comparatively high prices.
1t won't be long at this rate before all
Of the stock on hand will be exhausted.
Dawson's cotton season has practi-
cally closed. The results make good
showing for the city, the total receipts
being a great deal in excess of the
amount predicted during the early
part of the fall.
Dawson's four warehouses have
stored 1858 bales of the staple,
while the round bale gin has turned
out LAP bales. Counting two of the
latter for one OF the former, as The
News has done in making its weekly
reports, there has been total Of 10, IA
bales handled in Dawson during the
season. All of this cotton was brought
to Dawson by farmers on wagons, and
does not include that shipped here.
The compress receipts at Dawson
have been smaller than heretofore this
season for the same reason that they
haye been reduced at the other presses
in the state. The Atlantic Compress
Co., which controls all the presses in
Georgia, with few exceptions, has dis
tributed the cotton more equitablY.
Shipments here from other points are
smaller than last year.

Coon after the war the Saddler fami-
j, moved away from Dawson, and this
the first sight since that time that
n, W. G. Saddler has had of the
,oru where he passed an eventful por-
,ion of his life. He is a native Ala
A,misn, and stopped over in DAVIS Oh
!, return trip from that state.
Mr. Saddler was pleasant caller at
rba News Office Saturday afternoon,
and talked interestingly for quite a
ubiIe concerning the very evident diff
t.,ences he was able to discern in the
n,wson of today and the one of forty
,osrs ago. When he left here tor his
new home Dawson was, comparatively
,Desking, nothing more than wide
Mace in the road, and when he saw
tbe present city's many and varied en-
terprises, her public. buildings, lines
+ h, brick storehouses, waterworks, and
electric light systems and beautiful
residences he felt something like the
same mental sensations which passed
through the mind of Rip Van Wrinkle
when the latter traditional gentleman
svOke from his long and uninterrupt-
ed slumber.
Mr.. Saddler was naturally much sur
prised, land pleasantly so, with the
great progress Dawson has made since
: he claimed him as a citizen, and ex-
pressed admiration for the different
sights which greeted him.
In fact, about the only things Mr..
Saddler saw for which he did not ex-
press any admiration at all were the
public school building and the opera
house, and he cannot be blamed for
HIS failure in this respect.
