will not let us have the money at
reasonable rates of interest. For
that reason they decline to borrow

You will be advised of the date

SHOW PLEASED THE PEOPLE
Carnival Pulled Out Sunday Night
for Phenix City After a Weeks
Stand in Dawson.

The Great Cosmopolitan Carnival
Co., after weeks stand in Dawson,
left at midnight Sunday for Phenix
City, Ala, where they are showing
this week for the benefit of the pub
lie schools of that city.
Considering the time of year the
carnival was well patronized in Daw-
son, and the members of the COM
pany were pleased with their visit
here and our people were pleased
with them. These carnival people
are much above the usual class of
folks who travel with similar shows,
and conducted themselves in a polite
and genteel manner, giving no cause
for complaint or criticism.
All of their shows were clean and
some of them meritorious and in
structive.
Mayor Marlin and his council COM
mittee-Aldermen Davis, Hamilton.
McNulty and Lowrey-were active
and energetic in looking after the
lcity's interest in connection with the
carnival, and to them is largely due
the week of amusement and enter
tainment the people of Dawson and
surrounding country have enjoyed.

SUBS STIR SHELLMAN.
Dawson Lawyer Employed to Help
Get Rid of Them.


Shellman is in the throes of the
nigh beer question, and the council
of that town has employed Attorney
M. c. Edwards of Dawson to help
them try to stop the flow of the suds.
The Shellman Sun says on the SUBJ
ject.
The city council of Shellman has
retained Col. M c. Edwards of Daw-
son to show them a strictly legal
way to knock out the beer business
in town. Mr.. Edwards, so we under
stand, will prepare an ordinance for
the council to pass at its next meet
ing which will prohibit the sale of
beer containing above a certain per
cent. of alcohol. The course after
that, we suppose, will be for the
council to have samples of the beer
analysed from time to time, and if
ever the percentage of alcohol shows
more than the limit allowed then the
business to stand a fine or suspend. "

WHERE WAS THE DEACON?
The Last Bulletin Showed That He
Had Lost His Way.

Had Lost His Way.
From the Woman's Home Companion
Deacon Jones, the great man of a
little village of Massachusetts, whose
outward piety was of the vociferous
order, but whose charity toward his
fellow-men was not as Astounding as
it might have been, was dangerously
i'll, and his brother deacons, impress
ed with the custom of issuing bull
letins from the sick rooms of prom
inent individuals, decided to follow
the fashion, with the following re-
suits:
sc p. m.-DeacOn Jones is in a
serious condition"
- p. m.-DeacOn Jones has raj
lied slightly"
80 p. m.-Deacon Jones has suf-
fered a relapse"
81 p. m.-Deacon Jones has de-
parted for heaven"
Thus the bulletins read at mid
night; but early in the morning some
unregenerate mortal who did not
love the deacon evidently passed
that way, for the light of a new day
showed curious tOwnspeople the later
report:
Heaven, a. m.-Great conster-

Stiles has nothing of the debutant
about him-he is a singer who does
honor 10 the name of artist. He has
a very fine tenor voice OF warm and
sonorous quality.
From the first bars of the old
Faust il was evident that he knew
how to give dramatic expression to
his role. The lyrical passages We're
executed with great finesse. Tech
nique and taste went hand in hand.
In the middle register he reminds one
of the Cantilena of Caruso. Just as

based on good models OF the Italian

WONDERFUL NATURE

We have no just complaint against
Nature. She has built up within us
the sustaining energies, as she has
evolved an intelligence sufficient to
apprehend their existence and APP
plication. If we fail to utilize the
law, we criminate ourselves. Nature
indeed Is good, for all her tendencies
are toward harmonious growth and
mutual harmony. If i'll CONS to us,
1t is but the result of our own per-
verse use of what was convertible to
our good. Nature teaches us how
to carve our destiny; but too oft we
accuse her of compelling what we
ourselves have invited. Abused and
overtaxed eyes will affect and un-
balance your whole nervous system,
and kind Nature will gently inform
you by headache, dizziness, tired
feeling. Your sight may be good for
both near and far and yet there is a
defective muscular balance that ex-
lists within your eyes that If Properly
balanced with glasses fitted correctly,
would make Of you "a stronger and
brighter person. You would have
kind Nature working with you as you
comply with her laws. See DIR.

throughout the country, the apples
pears and prunes commanding the
highest prices in eastern markets.
The lands under the project have
practically all been filed upon but
many settlers will be compelled to
dispose Of their excess lands, as NO
water right will be issued for more
than 100 acres. 1t is no wonder that
these lands are being rapidly taken
up. for the marvellous crop yields
are becoming widely known. In
1904 a farmer who was brought up
In one Of the humid states In the
Mississippi valley, cleared $1,000
from q three-acre apple orchard, and
IN 1907, the same orchard gave him
net profit Of $3.50 per acre. One
neighbor was clearing from 800 to
5000 per acre on a prune orchard,
while another was growing as high
as IS bushels OF wheat per acre.
Last year number of his friends
from back home" moved to Idaho.
The development OF power incident
to the irrigation works will be Of
vast Importance to the industrial de-
velopment Of the state. The dam
on the Payette river, which will be
80 feet high, and well backed by
storage in the Payette lakes, will
give practically unlimited power,
while the Boise dam, opened today,
will probably furnish power for
municipal works, electric railways
and industries Of various kinds. TIL
completion OF the project 1t is be-
lieved will result In laying the foun-
dation for such an Industrial de-
vel0pment as probably has never
been paralleled In the country. 1t
means the expenditure in that To-
cality of millions OF dollars in few
years, the intensixe cultivation of
100000 acres Of fine land; 1t means
thousands Of new settlers, the doubt
ing OF the population OF the cities
and towns in that portion Of the
state, an increased price for all
agricultural products; better roads,
schools and churches.
But the significance Of the cele-
bration today is not purely local in
character. The completion Of unit
Of this great project only marks an
other milestone in the development
Of the West, and heralds tor the world
the beginning OF an era Of prosperity
that has come to stay and that will
be reflected in the increased pros
perity in all lines Of industry
throughout the whole country.
