THE OLD COURT HOUSE.
WOrkmen BusiIy Engaged Tearing

WOrkmen Busily Engaged Tearing
Down Our First Temple of Justice.
WOrkmen are now busily engaged
in tearing down the old Terrell coun-
ty court house, which has been the
property of the city the past several
years. The material, which is per-
fectly sound, will be used in the erec-
ton of the new negro public school
building.
Thus is passing another of the old
land marks of Dawson. 1t was erect
ed about fifty years ago, when Daw-
son was nothing more than a ''wide
place in the road" Many are the
dramatic scenes that have occurred
within its walls, and sitting on the
little stand erected for the judge many
of the foremost jurists OF the state
have held the scales of justice with
even hand in the trial of some of the
most sensational cases in the history
of GeOrgia-cases that attracted the
attention of the whole country.
The old court house has served its
time, and must yield to the new things
of today.

PRETTY BABIES PARADE THE CiTY's STREETS
The Show Dmped Was Event of Unusual
Three Awarded and Each Received Present

The baby show Thursday afternoon
was one of the most interesting events
that has occurred in Dawson in some
time.
At four O'Clock the babies, with
nurses and sponsors, assembled on
the lawn behind the Methodist church,
where they were arranged for a pho
tograph; and beautiful spectacle it
was that confronted the admiring
crowd, The babies, in carts and car
riages, were arranged in a semi-cir-

Hyomei Cures Catarrh in a Natural
and Rational Way.

Hyomei Cures Catarrh in a Natural
and Rational Way.
No 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 a
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 or
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 us
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.

Lamar Yeomans, in carriages decorat-
ed in the national emblems and coIors,
and Lucius Lamar was a herald
among white roses.
The line of march was formed and
wended its way through the principal
streets of the city. On returning the
prizes were presented to the sponsors
who had been successful in raising the
largest amount of money for a baby
in each of the three classes. The sue
cessful ones were as follows: To the
baby under one year old, Virginia
HollingswOrth, Annie May Christie
sponsor; to the baby between one and
two years old, Lucius Lamar, Ruth
Cheatham sponsor; to the baby be-
tween two and three years, Martha
Bell, Lucille McLendon sponsor. The
prizes were gold pins for the baby and
sponsor. To each of the sponsors was
given a hat pin, and to each baby a
box of powder. Col. j. G. Parks
made the awards in his usual happy
manner.
The sum of one hundred and thirty
dollars was realized. Those who had
the affair in charge heartily thank the
eager little sponsors for their untir-
ing efforts, the mothers for giving
their babies, and all who so willingly
and generously contributed.

Such thing as weakling is hard

endurance of the Japanese soldiers
and sailors in the recent war has been
the marvel of all nations. Both men
and women are well, happy and

The reason for this, so careful in
Vestgators tell US, is that the Japa-
nese from childhood up know how to
keep we'll through care of the digestive
system. If they have trouble with in
digestion, heartburn, wind on the stom-
ach, loss of appetite, sleeplessness,
headaches, rheumatic pains, back
aches, or any of the other troubles
caused by a weak stomach, they treat
themselves with some of the principal
remedies that compose Mona, a
stomach remedy that has already a
large sale in Dawson at Dawson Drug
Co.'S. and Peoples Drug Store.
So uniformly successful has the
remedy been in curing all stomach
troubles where it is used in accord
ance with the simple directions given

cent package to refund the money if
Mona fails to benefit.

Seeking an Easy Job.

There are few easy places in the
world; when We do find them they
are at the end Of the road over which
one did some very hard travelling.
Even then we come upon them uneX-
pectedly. The way to the easy place
is not by seeking for it, but by labor
ing hard until the work is finished
and the day is done. After labor
comes rest-and we should not seek
it until labor is done. Yet the world
is full of folks seeking soft places.
In answer to boys letter, asking
him for help in securing an easy
place in which he might make his
mark, Henry Ward Beacher once
wrote this striking paragraph: "Iou
cannot be an editor; do not try the
law; do not think of the ministry
let alone all ships, shops and mer-
chandise; abhor politics; don't prac-
tice medicine; be not farmer nor a
mechanic, neither be soldier nor a:
sailor; don't work, don't study, don't
think! None of these are easy; my!
son, you have come into hard world
I know of only one easy place in this
world, and that is the gray" RE

There is a becoming big collar at the

in the fashionable three-quarter or
full length as may be liked. In this
instance the material IS pretty ba-

banding and little frills of white

How Brokers Work.

Let's see what a broker Is exactly.
He's the man whose services you
must seek if you wish to buy or sell
stocks. You can't do thing In Wall
Street without that broker. You
can't fill your own orders in Wall
Street any more than you can I'LL
your own teeth. The broker Is to
you as a speculator what dentist is
to you as a man with toothache.
Now, operations on the floor OF the
Stock Exchange are conducted by
four groups - first, by individual
spectators who trade on their own
account, and these are members OF
the Exchange; second, by brokers
who lend money for banks; third, by
commission houses which buy and
sell bonds and stocks for persons not
members of the Exchange, and
fourth, by specialists who are also
called floor brokers, and oftentimes
"dollar brokers" or 1.-TWO dollar bro
kers," and who execute orders for
commission houses. In turn commits
sion houses are Of two kinds-those
that conduct one home office, and
many branch Offices connected by
private wire, and those that conduct
q local and mail business.
To a broker in one of these classes
your order is given. In executing
your orders, and those of others, the
brokers' earnings may be any sum
from $10-more usually $100-to
thousands a day.-Leslie's Weekly.

II haven't cut off any cats tails,

came as helpless as 6. ship without a
rudder. When it tried to spring
upon an object it would alight far to
one side. The look of panied sur
prise on the cats features was pa

jump straight again, but it was a
long and painful experience for the
poor cat. The balance Of power and
