The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-12-19

There are some women who seem
to be perennially youthful The
grown daughters are companions as
well as children, and the color in
the mothers cheeks, the brightness
in her eyes, the roundness of her
form, all speak of Astounding health.
What is her secret? She is at the
middle age of life when so many wo-
men are worn, wasted and faded
and yet time has only ripened her
charms. The secret of this matronly
health and beauty may be told in
the brief phrase, DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. The general health
of woman is so intimately related
to the local health of the delicate
womanly organs that where these
are diseased the whole body must
suffer. ''Favorite Prescription" dries
the facilitating drains, heals ulcera-
ton and inflammation, cures female
weakness and imparts to the deli
cate female organs natural vigor and
vitality. Women who have lost their
health and their beauty have been
made robust and rosy checked" by
the use of this marvellous medicine.

WORKED YEARS WITHOUT PAY
Cleaning City Hall Is Negroes Self
Appointed Task.

Though for twenty years he
cleaned up the basement of the city
hall in Louisville, KY, John Joiner,
colored, who lies dead at the City
Hospital, never received a cent of
pay from the municipality. Bent
double by rheumatism, he never fail
ed in his duties until a few weeks
ago, when his condition became such
as to entirely cripple him.
Where "Old John" came from. or
how he came to take up his self-ap-
pointed duties, none knew. The sto-
ry goes that he just drifted in one
night, and in return for his lodgings
began to clean cuspidors and sweep
things up. For twenty years he kept
it up. Officials literally tipped him,
/ and near by saloons gave him food

VAN RIPERIS AGAIN
AT HEAD OF TROOP
C ON mand of Americas Light
Infantry.
WILL RECEIVE 4Is COMMISSION
And Assume Command of tns compa a
nv at Once-Stood Excellent Exam
iuatlon Before 5oard-New Lie For
Company.

Captain c. f. Van Ripper returned
Yesterday from Albany, where he went
before the examining board of the
Fourth Georgia Regiment to stand ex-
animation for the captaincy of the
Americas Light Infantry, to which po-
sition he was recently elected.
And this election at the hands of his
old command, unanimous and enthus1-
astic, was as gratifying as the fiattering
record made yesterday before the exam
ming board.
Capt. Van Ripper was roundly COM
plimented upon the very high percen-
tage which he scored.
Already the examination papers have
been forwarded to the Adjutant General,
and Captain Van Ripper will receive his
commission as commander of the
Americas Light Infantry, Company l..
Fourth Georgia, as soon as can be
made out.
The fact that Capt. Van Ripper is
again to command the Light Infantry
is a subject of qualification to cluZons
of Americas generally, as well as to
members of the company.
A trained and experienced officer, he
will put the company upon the high
plane occupied when he resigned the
captaincy several years ago to COM
rnand a company in the regular army
during the Spanish war in
1898.
Capt. Van Ripper is a strict disciple
marian. In him the men will have the
utmost confidence, and the future sue
cess of the company is fully assured
under the present very favorable aus
pices. a subject of general qualification
to Americas.
The Light Infantry will at once be
brought up to its full strength, ranking
any other in the state.
