Rev. J. M. Long has just completed
the third year of his pastorate of the
Dawson Baptist Church, and the rec
ord the church has made during this
time is one of the best in its his
tory.
Mr.. Long began his work as pas
tor in Dawson January l, 1903. An
able preacher, an active worker and
an efficient manager, the growth and
progress of the church was apparent
from the first. Both the material and
spiritual welfare of the church have
aourished under his leadership.
The following amounts have, during
the past three years, been raised and
expended for the spread of the gospel
by the church, the Sunday school
and the Ladies' Aid and Missionary
Society: In 1903, 81, 1862; in 1904,
SOILS; in 1905, So, 10000 There is
thus shown a total of so, 037.S0 raised
by the church during this time and eX-
pended in advancing the kingdom OF
God.
A splendid parsonage was built in
1903 at a cost of 81, $1,000, and large
sum is represented IN the improve
ment and maintenance of the church
property the past three years.
The church maintains missionary
in the foreign field, Rev. and Mrs.
K. W. Cawthorn having been sent out
early in 1904. They are at work in
the Argentina Republic, South Ameri-
ca. In addition to their support the
church contributes literally in a d.
rect way to the maintenance of Miss
Jennie Edwards, missionary in Gu
ba, A large amount has been given
to the orphans.
Every branch of the local church
work is in highly prosperous condi-
ton. The Sunday school is exceed

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
A Prominent Dawson Couple Will
Wed in February.

i
Mrs. VIM. H. Locke announces the
engagement of her daughter, Judsor
Sylvester, to Charles Augustus Wall.
The marriage will occur in February.
The news of this approaching event
will be greeted with much interest by
large circle of friends. Miss Locke
was formerly an admired member of
Eufaula society, and has long been
well-known and greatly admired in
Dawson. Her removal to this city
evoked hearty delight on the part of
her many friends here, and she has
been a charming addition to Dawson s
social world. Mr.. Wall is one of the
leading young business men of Daw-
son, and occupies a position of social
prominence. The Eusaula Times, print
en- at Miss Locke's former home, says
of her popularity there:
miss Judson Locke, daughter of
Mrs. W. H. Locke, will be married
the latter part of February to Mr.
Charles Augustus Wall of Dawson,
Ga. The wishes of Miss Locke's many
friends is that the wedding will take

since she has made her home for the
past two years with her sister, Mrs.
E. B. Freeman, in the town where she
met her fate. 1t might truly be said
of Miss Locke that none knew her but
to love her, none would but praise her,
for there is a peculiar charm about
her, indeed virtue that few women
possess; meet her at morning, noon and
evening she has for you smile of
welcome and word of good cheer.
Eufaula can claim no woman more
universally loved than she.
"Mr. Wall, the fortunate winner of
this most attractive and so much low
ed young woman, is one of the most
prominent men in the social and bus
mess life in the town in which he lives,
gentleman by birth and education.
I'VE know OF no man to whom, if
we must release our claim upon her,
we could more willingly trust her,
knowing his desire and capability to
make her happy.
THE loss of her shall cause many
heartache, but her friends could not
be so selfish as to even wish to deny
him and her the happiness they will
surely find in each others love. We
wish for them in after years only sun
shine upon path of peace.
