following, which was enthusiasts
tically and unanimously adopted;
Whereas, our board of trade and
business people have for some time
recognized the very great need of bet
ter and more adequate depot facilities
here, on both the SeabOard and Cen
tral of Georgia railways, and, where
as, our board of trade has been urging
this matter upon the officials of both
these railroads, therefore be it
"ResOlved, by the citizens of Daw-
son, in mass meeting assembled, that
we most heartily endorse and commend
the action of the board of trade in its
effort to secure adequate and better
depot facilities for our city, and we
pledge this organization our loyal
support and active cooperation.
Resolved further, That in view of
the great inconvenience to the travel
ing public and the business interests
generally caused by the present de-
pots, which are wholly insufficient
and abOlutely require relief, we be-
lieve that for this reason, and on &C
count of the great amount of business
transacted here by the railroads, they
will recognize the business of our APP
peal, and will grant US relief by the
erection of the desired and much
needed depOts in Dawson.
"ResOlved further, That a copy Of
these resolutions be forwarded to the
.proper official Of each of said rail,
way companies"
Messrs. Lowrey, Davis, Yeo
mans and McLain were named as {
committee to cooperate with the
board of trade.
The matter will be taken up in {
most energetic manner, and it is
believed that with all the people o
Dawson behind the movement gooC
results will speedily follow.

A VERY SAD DEATH.
A Young Wife and Mother Is Claim
ed by the Death Messenger.

A Young Wife and Mother Is Claim
ed by the Death Messenger.
The announcement on Saturday
afternoon of the death of Mrs. Eli G.
Hill (nee Miss Flodie Melton) at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. B.
F. Melton, was received with genuine
sorrow throughout the city.
While suffering from other illness
Mrs. Hill contracted pneumonia, and
in spite of ali that skill and tender
care could do the icy hand of death
was soon laid upon her. She was a
consistent member of the Baptist
church, and her life was character
lied by a gentleness and kindness
that endeared her to large circle OF
friends and cquaintances. Death, al
ways sad, is especially so in this case,
where young wife and mother only
twenty-five years of age is taken from
a husband and two little babes. To
these, the Borrowing parents and other
relatives the coincidence of every one
is extended.
The interment occurred in Cedar
Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon after
tender and touching services at the
home, Rev. j. M. Long performing
the last rites.

MOON IN TOTAL ECLIPSE.
IL Entered the Shadow Shortly After
Thursday Midnight.


The total eclipse of the moon that
was scheduled to take place early
Thursday morning doubtless Occurr-
ed, though it is not known that any
one in Dawson kept awake to witness
it.
The eclipse was remarkable in many
respects. In this part of the world
the moon entered the shadow of the
earth at seven minutes after midnight,
and was totally eclipsed at 1908
O'Clock. For one hour and thirty
eight minutes our satellite was sailing
through a sea of semi-darkness. The
middle of the eclipse took place at l:57
q. M, central time, and the total
phase passed al 2:46, Two hours is
about the longest time the moon can
be totally ecIipsed by the shadow of
earth.

CAPITAL STOCK is 100000
The City National Bank Increases
Its Facilities for Business.
A Growing Institution.

In accordance with the notice which
had been published for four weeks the
stockholders of the City National
Bank met Friday morning and took
formal action increasing the CAPT.
tai stock of that institution from S75,
600 to 500, 900.
The City National Bank was organ
lied three years ago with a capital
stock of $4,000, and its growth and
success is fully shown by the fact that
since then it has been twice found
necessary to increase the banks CAPT
tai to meet the requirements of its rap
idly growing business. The bank
also has surplus and undivided prof
its amounting to s23, 200.
This institution has already taken
front rank among the strong and pro
gressive banking houses of southwest

that have dealt in them will have an
opportunity of borrowing.
Miss Mary Zuber, who went over to
Cuthbert Tuesday to attend the Zuber-
Weaver marriage, returned Sunday.
Owing to her prolonged stay we had
begun to fear that they had decided to
make double wedding of it.
We are pleased to state that DR..
McLenan of Louisville, Ala, who is a
young graduate of the Atlanta Medi-
cal College, has located here, and is
now at the command of the public.
Owing to the scarcity of young men
here we regret very much to see that
we have lost three from our band, as
it seems they have joined the "calico
corner crowd"
Messrs. Sid Helton and Labourn
Sears represented Dawson here Sun
day. Wonder where our other regu-
lar representative could have been?

Cha ausse Stands or Morality (!

Grants Pass, Ore., May Ia. 1906.
Editor Courier | would like to ask
a question in your columns of F. W.
Chausse. If he is such red-hot re-
former and red-eyed enforcer of the
law why does he not use his position
as a member Of the common council
to close up the houses of ill.fame that
he sees every time he comes up
town. l have a family of four child
ren and am compelled to live in that
vicinity, and if +. W. Chausse wants
my confidence in his integrity let him
make motion in the council to re-
move the marshal if he does not
close up the light district of this
city and also to close the saloons on
Sunday. This kind of reform would
beat license raising and knocking the
Booth family, all hollow. Let the
balance of power league take notice of
MIR. Chausse's efforts to enforce the
law. Very truly,
