PRAISE OF PROFESSOR LAND
COrdele Paper Says His Resignation
There Was Received With
Regret and Surprise.

Prof. F. E. Land, the newly elected
superintendent of the Dawson Pub
lie Schools, arrived in Dawson last
Wednesday, and spent two or three
days here comforting with the board
of school commissioners and meeting
the people of the town.
Professor Land is a self-made man,
and has a number of years of sue
cessful experience as a teacher. He
is about 35 years of age, unmarried,
and has a pleasing address that IA
vorably impresses all who meet him.
A recent issue of the Cordele Sen
tinel contained the following in
reference to his resignation there,
and success and ability as an edu-
Gator
THE resignation of Prof. Land as
superintendent of the public school,
which was rendered the school board
this morning, was complete sur
prise. Mr.. Land was loath to leave
Cordele, but DawsOn's offer was so
be doing himself an injustice to re-
fuse it.
''Mr. Land has been the superin-
tendent of the school here for the
past five years; he has ever been a
faithful and conscientious worker, al
ways having at heart the welfare of
the pupils and the school; he has by
perseverance built up the O'Neal
school until it ranks among the first
in the state. The people of COrdele
will miss him very much; the chill
dren will especially miss him, as he
has made place for himself in every
little heart; even the boys who re-
garded him only as the whipper
were fond of him. 1t will indeed be
hard to fill his place, and while Cor
dele is very sorry to give him up she
cOngratulates Dawson on securing
his services"

A Sand Storm in Dawson.
The elements have been on a ram
page almost every day for the past
week, and in some sections consid-
cradle damage has been done.
At PARROT last Tuesday a box car
standing on a side-track of the rail-
road was unroofed, and the smoke
stack of the Farmers Union gin was
blown down.
The greatest damage that has been
reported, however, was several miles
east of Dawson Wednesday. While
the black clouds that rolled from the
north and the peals of thunder were
Dumping against the sky there was
shower of hail that trimmed the
blades from the corn, and made cot
Ton IN some places look like a picked
chicken. The crops on the farms of
Messrs. H. O. Thornton and Wyatt
BRIDGES suffered most. Many sheds
on the farms and large trees were
swept down by the wind. On the
farm Of Mr.. w K. Pace the gin
mousse was blown down, and the top
Oh the chimney of his residence was
snapped IN two, the falling brick
breaking a hole in the roof of the
house.
Saturday afternoon the severest
SAND storm ever seen in Dawson oc-
.uFred and cleared the streets of

precedented in this section, and
would have done credit to the sand
sIorms OF the western prairies. A

SIaSS window that cost $50. Mr..
