little Mary Morgan, the drunkard' 3
child.
The play is concluded with a beauti'
full allegorical tableaux of Little Mary

TABLES WITHOUT TURKEYS.
The National Bird Will Grace But
Few Thanksgiving Dinners.

On the eve of Thanksgiving day
housewives and patriotic Americans In
Dawson are faced with turkey famine
that is really serious. 1t is not an I'M
usual thing .for turkeys to be scarce
and high-priced, but this year they
can scarcely be had at all.
There will be fewer national Thanks
giving birds on the tables on this great
American festival tomorrow than at
anv time within the last decade.
There are several good reasons for
she shortage in the turkey crop. In
1903 extreme high prices prevailed,
which induced many farmers not only
20 sell their Young birds, but in many
eases to sacrifice the old hens and COB
lers for the coin of the realm, leaving
but few turkeys with which TO raise
another crop.

Ministers Are on the Eve of

Presiding Elder Smith will leave for
McRea to attend the annual session of
the South Georgia Conference and re-
ceive assignments for another year.
Both of these ministers are very pop
ular in Dawson, and have hosts of
friend here irrespective of denomina-
ton who would be glad of their return.
The other Terrell county ministers
are Rev. J. G. Parker of the BrOnwood
circuit, Rev. G.. w. Thomas of the
Parrott circuit, and Rev. L. w. Colson
of Sbellman and Graves. They, too,
have done faithful years work, and
will carry with them to conference
most excellent reports from churches
whose members hope they will be re-
turned to them. These ministers arc
all universally esteemed in their
respective communities, and failure
to send them back would cause much
