Charmed by Snake

L. H. Steinkuhler, Of the western
part OF the county said he'd often
heard OF snakes charming birds and
like most OF us was a doubter. But
he's a doubter no more. He recent
ly stepped under a shade tree and.
his attention was attracted to a
little bird above him by its piteous
noise. Hell ooked up. and saw the
bird on q limb with it's feathers
sticking out as II nearly scared to
death and near it on the limb'a
large snake with its mouth wide
open and as he watched the bird
gradually worked it's way towards
the snakes mouth. He said he
could not bear to see the bird fall
a victim to the snake so threw a
stick at the snake and scared it
away.

A Boy Bound to Succeed

Under the headline OF show it
Is done In Free America the story
OF Abraham Potekel, fourteen year
old, who a few years ago was TAX
en- the police headquarters at
Cleveland, Ohio, from the Union
Station, where a policeman had
found him, is told by a writer in
the Cleveland Press. The boy had
been tagged through from New
York, immigrant style, but the adj
dress was wrong, and when the
error was discovered at Cleveland,
the boy was homeless.
He begged not to be deported,
because his parents had 'sold their
COW to buy his transportation" A
kind family gave him shelter, and
he began next day to sell papers
for a living. He wens to night
school learned to speak English in
six weeks, and in a year had sent
three hundred dollars to his par
ents in Hungary.
He has now become the proprie-
tor OF a small postcard and sta
tionary shop. He sent to Europe
for his sister, who he says will soon
speak English well enough to take
care OF the shop so that he a go
to school.
His heart is set on becoming the
owner Of the large building OF
which his little shop occupies an
inconspicuous corner, and persons
who know the boy have no doubt
as to his accomplishing his pur-
pose.

LOOK FOR THE R
Ringing Brothers Coming
With Bigger Show Than
Even.

1t is a pleasure to announce the
fact that Ringing Bro h rs Wo:lds
Greatest Show is soo1 to cxh..it
in Marshall, the date being Satu :
day, July II. And Il com IS this
year with fresh laurels won at Ma !

Of f~lattering comments We re mad,
by the press. The perfo. names
here will be given exicsly as seen
there.
1t would seem that after tax n.
first place among all the circuses
that ever existed the Ringing Bros
would be content with that great
distinction. But such is not tn
case. Not content to leave wei.
enough alone, they have contrived
TO still further enlarge and better
their wonderful organization, tn
today it stands as a sort o: a would
eight wonders.
Not one, but at least twelve, sem
sational numbers head this seasocs
unprecedented progra m. Thee
are horses that drink from glasses
and waltz on their hind legs. There
are elephants that talk among
themselves over the telephone.
There are three brothers who, to-
gether, can lift four tons and a
half. There is the double-somer-
saulting automobile and Roblidel-
10 the Mexican wire wizard.
There is not another show in the
world that could duplicate any one
OF the mentioned acts, nor any one
OF fifty other acts that might be
mentioned but for the lack of space
The vast horde OF performers is a
wonderful thing to contemplate,
and not in the history Of the cir
u business has such another ar
ray OF talent been assembled under
n management.
II is a question ii the show can
ever grow any larger as its pres
ent size is a profound problem to
the railroads. The wits OF the Of
ficials andt he alertness Of the
-ainmen are taxed to the limit in
handling the five long and heavy
trains with the promptness that is
necessary. This season one train
is required to haul the parade
equipment alone. On this section

are circuses in America claiming to.

MR.. BROWN VISITS DAWSON
GOVERNOR-ELECT WAS GIVEN A
CORDIAL RECEPTION DUR
ING A BRIEF VISIT.

Joseph M. Brown, the next gov
ernor of Georgia, was a visitor to
Dawson for a short while Thursday,
remaining here two and a half hours
between trains.
Mr.. Brown arrived on the 1926
Seaboard train from Columbus, and
was met at the depot by two or three
hundred citizens of the town and
county and a brass band, and es-
corted to the Dawson Inn, where
public reception was held and many
people met the distinguished visitor.
An elegant dinner was served by
Host Hickey, covers being laid for
sixty. 1t was an informal though
very enjoyable affair, and around
the tables were gathered citizens ir-
respective of their alignment in the
campaign. The governor invoked
Divine blessing upon the repast and
the company.
At the conclusion of the dinner
Mr.. Brown made a brief talk that
captured all Who heard him. His
delivery was impressive, his remarks
were characterized by earnestness,
sincerity and sound judgment, and
he was roundly cheered, some of
those who most enthusiastically ap-
pauded his sentiments having OPP
posed him in the campaign.
After a ride around the city in
Mr. w. A. McLains automobile Mr.
Brown left on the 1920 Central train
to fill appointments at FIT. Gaines,
Georgetown and Cuthbert.
Could Not Return to Dawson.
Mr.. Brown had made an appoint
ment to return to Dawson and de-
liver a public address Monday morn
ing, but he stated Thursday that he
mad been compelled to change this
plan in order not to cause a break
IN a number of engagements that
mad been made in some of the
lower counties for him this week.
II he had returned to Dawson Sun
day, as he at one time contemplated
DONG, he could not have reached his
next appointment at Sylvester, and
ne was therefore compelled to can
Gel his engagement here for Monday.
He regretted very much the necessity
Tor doing this, and stated that he
VIII return at a later date and meet
and address the people of Terrell
county. Quite a number of citizens
who had not heard that the appoint
ment had been called in came to
Dawson Monday, and were greatly
disappointed to learn that the gov
ernor-elect was not here.
Mr.. Brown said he has engage
ments for every day until the 10th
OF May. He Will spend fifteen days
IN south Georgia before returning to
MS home in Marietta.

DEATH OF j. R. BELLFLOWER
ASKED A POST MORTEM STATE
MENT BE MADE FOR HIM.
\ Former Well-KnOwn Citizen of
Terrell Dies in Tiff County at
an Advanced Aage.


Joseph R. Bellfower was born in
Houston county, Ga, Feb. %, 1884,
and died at the home of his son,
Mr., c. NJ. Bellfiower, Jr, near Triton,
Ga, Feb. II, 1909, wanting only
eleven days of being IA years old
at the time of his death. He was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Bell
Hover. During his childhood his
parents moved to Terrell county,
Ga, where he grew into manhood.
He was married in early manhood
to Miss Sallie B. Hayes of Terrell
county, and raised a large family of
children, of whom nine survive him
seven sons and two daughters.
His wife preceded him to the grave
by several years.
His remains were inferred at New
! River church cemetery on February
18th, and was attended by quite a
large concourse of friends and rela-
tives. The funeral services were
conducted by DR.. Hammond of ENG
ma, assisted by Elder w. w. Webb
of Triton.
Mr.. Bellfiower had lived a long, in
dustrious and useful life. He had
lived out his full allotment of time
and had been very severely afflicted
for several years prior to his death
He was we'll and favorably known
throughout a large section of south
west Georgia, and numbered his
friends by the hundreds.
He was an honest, faithful man
a true husband and a loving, kind
father The writer of this sketch
had known him for nearly forty
years, and had never heard of a
charge of any sort being made
against him until a short time prior
to his death, when some of those
who should have sought to make
his declining days happy brought q
very serious charge against him
which his friends believe to be Who'll
ly untrue.
The writer spent a day with him
shortly before his death, and with
tears streaming down his care-worr
face he told me of the odiOus charge
and said: Il know | am standing in
the presence of God, on the very
brink of the grave and eternity; ant
with the facts before me, and know
ing that l must soon die, l tell yoJ
that this charge is untrue; | am in
nOcent of the charge"
In a letter before me, written {
few days before his death, he makes
the same statement, and asks me
to make this post-mortem Statement
for him.
Mr.. Bellfower never united will
the church during life, but was al
upright, God-fearing man, and otter
during his life, and especially during
the past ten years, he has told me
that he felt that he had not done hi!
full duty toward God, yet he fell
that God for Christ's sake had par
doned his sins, and that he had T.;
comfortable hope of heaven and (;
blessed immortality beyond the grea
river of death.
l hope he is now realizing tina
blessed state of happiness. Peace t.
his ashes. A FRIEND.
