sermons were preached at the Baptist
church to large congregations Sunday
morning and night by Rev. K. w.
Cawthon.
Mr.. Cawthon, who is one of the
brightest young Baptist minister OF
the state, has been pastor of the church
at Marshallville, but, cOnceiving the
idea that duty led him into foreign mis-
sionary fields, he has resigned his pas
torate and will go to the far Oft Argen-
tine republic TO prosecute his holy la
bors.
There is great local interest attach
ed to Mr.. Cawthon and his work be-
cause of the fact that he and his es-
Unable wife will be supported, while
thus engaged, entirely and solely oY
the Baptist church of Dawson, and one
of the purposes of Mr.. and Mrs. Cav
thons visit here is to become per-

who are so earnestly seconding them
in their work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cawthon will sail in
May for their new home IN distant

gin their duties as missionaries.
No church of any denomination In
Georgia, in comparison with the size
of the town, shows more generous lib
erality than the Baptist church OF
Dawson, and this last enterprise which
they will carry out to its conclusion Is
but another evidence of this fact.

A Mystery.

From Minas Prietas comes a good story that equals the darkey's pork barrel, through the bottom of which rats gnawed hole and carried off all the pork leaving the brine in the barrel.
 A small boy was sent to carry lunch to his older brother, work ing in one of the mills, which in- cluded a bucket of soup, with some meat balls in the liquid. The balls were tempting in appearance, and their aroma savory, giving the kid temptat on to which he yielded, and he ate one-'just one," as the small boy will sometimes do. Then in little time he ate another; and again another; until when the lunch reached the brother, the meatballs were not, and the buckets held nothing but soup.
 Where are the meatballs?" asked the brother.
 "Ohl dropped the bucket, was the reply, 'and everything spilled out. l gathered up the soup; but the meatballs rolled down the hill"
