CALLS CENTRAL'S ATTENTION
TO SOME THINGS THAT ARE RE
OUIRED OF RAILROADS.

No Toilet Accommodations at tho D0-
not. and No Bulletins Tell when
Trains Are Delayed.
Mr.. w. II. Davis, president OF the
Dawson board OF trade, has written
a letter to Mr.. 7. S. Noise, general
superintendent of the Central rail
road, calling attention to the fail
ure of that road to do certain thirgs
in Dawson that are required of all
railroads in Georgia for the benefit
of their patrons.
There are no toilet accommodations
or any means provided for privacy at
the depot in Dawson, and neither is
the law observed that requires bulle-
tins to be posted when trains are be-
lated. These are matters that are
important to the public, and it will be
insisted that they no longer be disre-
garded.
Steps will also be taken at once to
emphasize DawsOn's earnestness In
the request for better and adequate
passenger station facilities, and it is
safe to say that this movement will
cause the railroad officials to at least
take notice that something is doing.

JUST BREATHE 1T.
HyOmei Cures Catarrh in a Natural
and Rational Way.

HyOmei Cures Catarrh in a Natural
and Rational Way.
M dangerous drugs or alcoholic
concoctions are taken into the system
when Hyomei is used in the treatment
of catarrh. Breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, the balsamic healing of HyOmei
penetrates to the most remote cells of
the nose, throat and lungs, killing all
catarrhal germs, healing the irritated
mucous membrane and effecting d
complete and permanent cure.
In a natural and rational way, by
indicating the air you breathe with
HyOmei, every breath will be healing
and antiseptic, like the air found on
the mountains where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing
balsams.
No medicine taken into the stomach
can possibly reach the remote cells of
the air passages, or give the immedi-
ate relief that follows the use of Hy-
omei. A few days treatment is u.s.
ually all that is necessary to show
how quickly this remedy will cure ca
tarrh.
So successful has Hyomei been in
the cure of catarrh among their custo-
mers that Dawson Drug Co. and
Peoples Drug Store sell it under a
positive guarantee that's it costs moth
ing unless it gives satisfaction. The
complete outfit sells for one dollar,
while extra bottles can be Obtained
for so cents.

Death" as recited by Miss Phoebe
LANG and the "Olive Branch" by
Miss Ray Chester were especially
we'll received.
Colonel M. c. Edwards delivered the
address, and was listened to with pro-
found attention and at times elected
evidences of warm approval. He paid
lofty tribute to the men and women
who fought for four long years the
bravest fight in history against ever
increasing odds. His remarks COM
bined in graceful tribute to the past,
belief in the present, and faith in the
ultimate destiny of the south.

the opera house the Dawson Guards led
the procession TO the cemetery, where
all confederate soldiers graves were
decorated with flowers by little girls.
The customary salute was then fired
