Terrific Race With Death.

''Death was fast approaching, "
writes Ralph F. Fernandez of Tampa,
Fla, describing his fearful race with
death, "as result of liver trouble
and heart disease, which had robbed
me of sleep and of all interest in life:
had tried many different doctors and
several medicines, but got no benefit
until [ began to use Electric Bitters.
SO wonderful was their effect that in
three days l felt like a new man, and
today [ am cured of all my troubles. "

while fishing about two months ago
sustained an injury the results of
which were remarkably unusual.
In removing a catfish from the hook

pierced by the fish's fin, and what at
first appeared to be a mere scratch de-
veloped into a serious wound.
The wound gave the negro no troub-
lie the first few days, and no attention

Letter to w. w. Black, Dawson, Ga

Dear Sir: This story cuts two ways,
and teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, r. l., had
his church and residence painted.
Good job; and this is how he went
at it:
Measured all carofully-seems to
have known Devoe.
Then got bids from the painters,
paint to be supplied by them and by
him.
Saved $40 by using Devoe.
One of those painters ought to have
got that money. Yours truly,

DAWSON BIT THE DUST
The Fort Gaines Ball Team Won
Three Victories from the Ter
reII County TWirIers.

Dawson's little neighbor, Fort
Gaines. has ball team down there
with keen appetite for victory, and
good eye for the national sport.
How do these scores bear out the
statement?
Fort Gaines 10-Dawson 2.
Fort Gaines 8-Dawson 2.
Fort Gaines 9-Dawson s.
The local teams opponents were not
satisfied with anything but the entire
three games played on Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday on the Fort
Gaines diamond. In the first game
the scorer lost count of DawsOn's
errors, and by the ninth inning Fort
Gaines runs were hard to keep up
with. Bishop pitched a good game
for Dawson, but his support went to
pieces. The game was caught for
Dawson by Roscoe Melton.
The'secOnd game, s to 2, was almost
crowd. Melton and Wright were
DawsOn's battery, and would have
done better work had they been given
any encouragement by the rest of the
team generally.
The third game of the series was
more interesting, and Fort Gaines
pulled a victory by only one run.
Bishop and Geise did good work in
the box and behind the bat for Daw-
son.
Plans are now on foot to arrange
a series of games with Fort Gaines in
Dawson within the next few days,
when it is expected that honors will be
evened up.
