fee5led condition was unable to with
stand. He left Dawson two weeks
ago Monday for a trip to Atlanta,
and while there he suffered the attack
which resulted in his death. He be-
came i'll about a week after his arrival
in Atlanta and he was at once taken
to the sanitarium.
The remains accompanied by rela-
tives and friends were brought from
Atlanta Monday afternoon, and were
met at the train by a large number of
friends. The funeral occurred from the
First Baptist church at four O'Clock,
a solemn and impressive ceremony be-
ing conducted by Rev. j. A. Ivey, at
the conclusion of which the lid of the
coffin was removed and scores of grief
stricken friends pressed about the cas-
ket to look for the last time upon the
face of the man so we'll known and
loved. During the hours of the ser
vices all the business houses of the
city were closed and large cOncOurse
followed the body to its last resting
place in Cedar Hill cemetery.
There was no more beloved citizen
in Terrell county than Judge Roberts,
He was man of the highest integrity
and character and for many years had
been consistently and prominently
identified with the Baptist church. He
was native of Warren county and
removed from there in his young man
| hood to Calhoun county, where he
was subsequently, elected county clerk
and then to the legislature, in which
! body he ably served during the trying
| period OF the Civil war. He came to
Terrell county in 1867 and engaged in
the mercantile business in Dawson for
a number of years In 1888 he was
elected ordinary of Terrell county and
up to the time of his death held that
office continuously without opposition.
With the completion of this term b"

honorable position. He was 10 years
old.
The deceased is survived by six chill
dren, Messrs. j. B. Roberts, j. w.

Dawson, and DR.. G. A. Roberts OF

Adapts Its Teaching to the Particular

One feature of the curriculum at
Mercer University which should be eS-

fact that they may choose such courses
as are found to be most profitable
and attractive to their individual re-
Quirements and tastes. Study here is
almost wholly elective, giving only
one degree-the A. B. degree-in the
college of Art and Sciences. Scho-
lastic standards are high and teaching
thorough, but the prime object of all
discipline is to develop the highest
type of christian manhood. Our aim
is the building OF character, and our
traditions and environment contrib
ute greatly to this aim. Our equip
ment consists of twenty professors.

MORE RESIDENCES NEEDED.

Dawson needs more dwelling houses.
There is not q vacant house in the
city. A great many people would
move here if they could buy or rent
houses to live in. The capitalist
could make no better investment than
to put his money in new buildings in
Dawson. With our splendid public
school system. our waterworks and
electric lights and the great boom in
all land values in the county, there is
a great future for Dawson. We must
have more new residences. Who will
build them?

CLEAN UP.

During the past few days The News
has heard several complaints about
bad sanitary conditions in certain
portions of the city, and has been re-
quested to call the attention of the
CITY authorities to the matter, with the
view OF inaugurating general clean
ing up campaign. Whether there has
been any neglect on the part of the
city officials III this matter, we do not
know, but complaints have been made
and it might be we'll for the sanitary
committee of the council to make an
investigation and see what truth there
may be in the charges. The almost
inceSsant rains have caused the low
places to fill up, which in turn may
cause sickness, unless drained of
properly. 1t is always the part OF
wisdom to watch these matters
closely during the summer months
and possibly save sickness and
deaths.

WANT CHANGES IN
HOUR OF CLOSING MAIL

Goldfeld business men are arranging
to petition the postofice department
to change the hours for closing the
mail. Under the present arrangement
the outgoing mail closes at 9 O'Clock In
the evening when it does not actually
leave the city until early the following
morning. Heretofore, before the route
agent carried the mail to and from the
depot, the mail was taken from the of
fee at IL o'clock by an expressman.
The present plan, arranged by Post
master Collins to conform to the rules
of the department, closes the mails so
early in the evening that much of the
mail gotten put in the evening does not
leave Goldfeld until the morning OF
the second day after. Postmaster Col
Inns is unable to remedy the evil as ne
is bound by the regulations of the de-
partment. 1t will be necessary to Sc
cure a special order from the depart
ment before the change can be made.
A petition is to be circulated among
the brokers, business men and mer-
chants which will ask the postoffce de-
partment to make the hour for closing
the outgoing mail a couple of hours
later.
