After Tomorrow Tax Receipts Will
Be in Shape of Fl Fas.
Tax Collector McLendOn is look
ing for a rush on his Office in the
court house the next two days. To-
morrow, December 20, the county
tax books will close, and only two
days remain for the payment OF taxes
without cost, as after that date
cometh the bailiff with the fl ia, with
an abundance of which Mr.. McLen-
don has had The News Job Rooms
supply him.
The people of Terrell do not pay
any county tax, but the tax exacted
of them by the state this year IS
$2O,795.62. OF this about $18,5OO
has been paid, leaving $4,000
still due. This amount will be very
largely reduced by Thursday night
and the defaulters' list is not likely
to be any larger than it usually is.

DO YOUR SHOPPING NOW
ANNUAL ADVICE THAT EVERY
BODY ADMITS is GOOD.

But Which Nobody Ever Heeds. The
Value of Doing Your Christmas
Buying Before the Rush.
Every year at this season the mer-
chants and the newspapers give a lot
of sound advice to the shopping pub
lie on the necessity and value of all
who can doing their Christmas shop
ping as early as convenient During
the closing days before Christmas
the stores of the city are generally
crowded, the clerks as well as the
shopping public nearly broke down
with the rush of work, and it is
much harder to get mutually salts
factory results Much of this could
be avoided by practicing little fore
thought and early Christmas shop
ping.
Dawson merchants have stocked
their stores with the seasons goods.
You canget now the first pick of
these goods and better service than
if you wait for the rush at the last
moment
1t is much better to do your shop
ping, or as much of it as you can,
while this splendid weather lasts, for
it is but natural that we should have
many cold and rainy days during
December, when it will be necessary
to shop in all kinds of weather if
this duty is put off to the last mo-
ment. This is even truer for the
out-of-town buyer who must come
some distance to visit the city's
stores.
Another thing, try and do your
shopping as far as possible in the
morning hours, for there are great
number of people who cannot pos
sibly visit the stores at that time and
if you put off your shopping you
are making the work doubly hard
on all parties when this later rush
in the afternoon comes. A little bit
of Christmas shopping advice is as
follows
GA little patience with those who
wait on you in the stores will be
appreciated, and an occasional smile,
or few words of gentle thanks, will
make them work harder to please
you and will tighten many heart
that is made said by physical weari-
ness.
Don't be selfish; don't be cross;
don't be too impatient; and when
Christmas comes you will more COM
pletely enjoy the occasion and the
spirit that inspires the observance
of the happy birthday of the Prince
of peace and gentleness.

COTTON MEN DIDN'T COME.

to Fill Appointment Here.
Messrs. Harvie Jordan, M. l..
Johnson and E. d. Smith, who had
an appointment to speak in Dawson
on Wednesday in the interest of the
Southern Cotton Association, failed
to appear A few people came to
town with the expectation of hear
ing them and were disappointed, but
it is evident that had the speakers
come they would have been greeted
by very small audience.
Their failure to come was very
likely due to a telegram in response
to one received by Mr.. B. F. Melton

good meeting in Dawson. Mr.. Mel

interest was being taken by the peo-
pie, and that the audience would be

COTTON CASE AGAINST CENTRAL
The Plaintiffs Are Allowed to
Amend Their Declarations.

The Plaintiffs Are Allowed 10
Amend Their Declarations.
In the cases of Inman & Co.,
against the Central of Georgia Rail
way Company and Inman, Akers &
Inman against the same company,
in Muscogee superior court, Judge
Little has allowed the plaintiffs to
amend their declarations. Several
days ago he sustained the demurrers
entered by the railway, and had not
the amending of declarations been
allowed, the cases would probably
have gone out of court, had the SUI
preme court not reversed the lower
court. The attorney for the Central
Railway may go to the supreme court
and ask that tribunal to reverse the
superior court judge in allowing the
filing of amendments.
About $125,00O is involved in
these two suits, which grow out of
the burning of several thousand
bales of cotton in Columbus a year
ago.

PASTOR COOK GOT A PRESENT.
a Former Dawson Minister Was
Handsomely Remembered.

"A Former Dawson Minister Was
Handsomely Remembered.
Rev. o, F. Cook, who was pastor
OF the Dawson Methodist church for
four years before going to st. Luke
church in Columbus a year ago, was
the recipient of a handsome present
a few days ago on the eve of his
departure from Columbus for Macon
TO assume the duties of presiding
elder of that district. His many
friends here will read with interest
the following from the Columbus
Ledger:
In an interesting and most APP
propriate speech Mr.. T. Hicks Fort,
in the name of the st. Luke Epworth
League, presented an elegant chest
OF silver to Rev. o. F. Cook, the re-
firing pastor fist. Luke church, at
the regular weekly meeting of that
society held last night.
THE gift was presented by the
league as a token of its esteem and
high regard for their pastor, and it
was accepted in a few we'll chosen
and feeling words by Rev. Mr.. Cook.
REV Cook has been quite active
in work among the young people
during the year past. 1t was in APP
probation for his aid and cooper
alton in the work that the young
people desired to present him with
this elegant parting gift.
"The chest of silver is most hand
some and is quite a valuable gift ="
