BUILDERS BUSY IN DAWSON
The Song OF the Saw and Hammer Is
One Of the Unceasing Sounds
i'm the City.

Another evidence of Dawson s
steady growth is the building of
new homes in the city. During the
past few years many pretty homes,
a large number of them of expen-
siye design, have been erected. AMI
1t Is gratifying that this outward
snow Of confidence IN Dawson's flu
ture was not stopped during the re-
cent money panic. At this time the
song Of the saw and hammer may be
heard in many sections of the city.
Among those whom The News
knows to be building or preparing
to build are Mr.. b. b. Watkins on
Johnson street, Mr.. J. Z. Turner on
StoneWall street, Mr.. w. l.. Battle
and Mr.. Tom Clay on Church street.
Judge M. c. Edwards on COLLECT
street and Mr. K. S. Worthy on Lee
street. Mr.. B. NJ. Roberts and
DR.. J. G. Dean have made additions
to their homes, and besides several
new homes or improvements nave
been completed since the new year.
lis a fact that when loyal Daw-
sonians are showing visiting friends
over the city they may exclaim:
Don't Dawson grow!

THE NIGH STIRS CUTHBERT
A GAME OF TAG BETWEEN
SUBS DEALERS AND COUNCIL.
WHOLE BUNCH ARRESTED.

According to the Liberal-Enter-
prise the foaming suds known as
nigh beer are causing quite a COM
motion in that town, and the pro-
prietors of the berries and the city
fathers are having a regular monkey
and parrot time of it.
The fun began when Mr.. B. L..
Hunt sold his establishment to
Chandler & Co. two weeks ago, and
left Cuthbert. The license was not
transferable, but the council were
lenient and allowed the new prOprie-
tors to keep open under an agree
ment to give them sixty days to do
business in order that they might
reimburse themselves for the amount
they had paid out. So matters went
along until meeting of the Cuth-
bert council last Tuesday night, when
Mayor Mcpherson explained the sit
nation, and it was decided that Hunt
was down and out. Chandler & Co.,
through their attorney, then made
application for a license, accompany
ing it with $50, the amount Of the
license fixed the first of the year
for near beer saloons, but as the
license HAD since been changed to
$4,000 the application was turned
down.
Next morning Chandler & Co.
opened as usual, and things moved
along serenelY until Friday, when the
officers began making wholesale ar
rests. Every time a sale was made
an arrest would follow. w. E.
Lightfoot, one of the statesmen, when
notified decided it was best for him
to quit selling, and walked out.
Messrs. Chandler and Knighton were
arrested and the latter gave bond.
Chandler went to the lock up" but
remained only a short time before
he, too sought liberty. In retalia-
ton the mayor and council were ar
rested, and bonds required of them
before they were released.
Further developments are awaited
with interest.

bonds and was released. The Off
GERS found $3.50 in cash on Holland
when ne was arrested.

cursing in the presence of an officer,
and was bound over to the city court

ing drunk and SIG for being disor-
derby, and bound over to the city

his shackles, however, and didn't
take time to tell anybody goodbye.

crowd, was fined $26 for being drunk,
which he paid.

UNCLE" WILLIS LAY DEAD
ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS
OF THIS SECTION DIES AT
A RIPE OLD AGE.

The news of the death of Mr.. Will
! lis Lay, a pioneer of this section and
from early manhood a well-known
and highly esteemed citizen, was re-
ceived with surprise and general re-
greet in Dawson. A friend of the
deceased for many years has sent
The News the following concerning
his life and death:
Uncle" John Willis Lay was born
in Epson county, Georgia, March OF,
1926, and departed this life in Ter
rell county April Is, 1909, aged SO
years and IS days. He moved to
Randolph county in the latter part
of 1927, when Lumpkin was the
county site of Randolph county. He
settled at what is now known as the
Judge Kaufman place, between Cuth-
bert and Brooksville. For eight years
he lived with Uncle James Oliver,
the father of Mr. w. j. Oliver of
Shellman. He was a schoolmate of
mine at RehobOth academy in 1S4S.
In 1S49 ne did business for Hon.
E. w. Hodges on the Shellman plan
ltatiOn, and on April 18th of that
year a killing frost destroyed all
vegetation, and having used all the
cotton seed he had he procured plant
ing seed of Maj. Mason Tiller, who
then owned the old Judge Samuel
Williams place, near where Graves
Station now is. And just sixty years
from that day all that was mortal
.of "Uncle" Willis Lay was consigned
to the tomb in old RehobOth ceme-
terry. On March 8, 1850, "Uncle Will
lis married Miss Elizabeth Walker,
and resided in the Forks" of the
Notchaway until his death. Twelve
children were born to them, eleven
of whom lived to be grown, and six
.Of his sons, by his request, were his
pallbearers. He was a charter mem
Der of RehObOth church, when but
a bush arbOr it was the only shelter
Of the congregation, in the early
'40's, when Uncle" Tommie Muse
was young preacher and Rev. Reu-
ben E. Brown rode on horseback once
every month all the way from Hous-
ton county to preach under this same
bush arbOr
Rev. w. L. Culberson preached the
funeral from Job 14:9. His time
being quite limited he hurried
through. Uncle Willis" being a Ma
son he was buried by that fraternity,
when Capt H. A. Crittenden paid a
glowing tribute to his memory.
"Uncle Willis" had out lived all
his old associates, and was the old
est man in this section of the cOun-
try. To write his history would be
to write up southwestern Georgia
from 1928 down to the present time
He was here when the red men
roamed at large through canebrake
and forest. Yes, he was here when
the battles of Sheppard's plantation,
the Notchaway, Pine Island and 9TH
er Indian battles were fought He
was here when the first meeting
house and the academy of Rehoboth
were built, and when the first person
was buried in her cemetery. And,
too, he was here when the dreadful
tOcsin of cruel war was sounded, and
went with Col. James A. Wilson of
Dawson to the front.
Sleep sweetly, my time-honOred
friend, until the trump shall bid thee
arise from the tomb. Until then
may the sod rest lightly upon thy
grave. Your old friend,

Not Even the Churches Want II

From the Savannah News.
Where shall the genus homo who
is tittingly described by the term
"skinfiint" find a welcome? Even
the churches, which are supposed to
have great charity, are making the
pew warm for this class of indi-
vidual. A Chicago minister declared
last Sunday that the sooner the
church got rid of 'skinflints" the bet
ter the church would get along.
Drinking and lying were admissible,
but the 'tightwad" stood in the way
of progress, according to the preach
