HAS AIR OF A LARGE CITY"
WHAT THE MACON TELEGRAPH
SAYS OF DAWSON.
The Trip of the Advertising Car of
That Paper and the State Fair
Through This Section.


Through This Section.
Mr.. w. E. Pendleton, who was
one of the automobile party that left
Macon some weeks ago on tour of
Georgia for the purpose of advertis-
ing the State Fair, which will open
in that city on Wednesday of next
week, the 9th, sent the Macon Tel
egraph the following interesting ac-
count of the trip trip through this
section:
I'VE reached the well-known juno
ton at Smithville, famous for chick
en- pie, in little or no time, and
there we left plenty of signs of the
fair. They all say they are coming,
and all their friends also. Having
thoroughly satisfied this place in the
way of show bills we turned our
wheel towards the county site of Lee
county.
Land of the Pine.
In this county we first struck the
typical southern pine belt. We were
indeed in ''the land of the long leaf
pine, the cypress, the holly and vine. "
Flat level country and pine trees as
far as the eye could reach. Lees
burg, however, was soon reached,
and 1t did not take our lively bill
poster long to stick up the place with
membranes of the fair.
Soon we We're heeling it to AL
bany, and after a thrilling run over
one of the macadamized roads of
Dougherty we landed in a hotel for
dinner. We did not stay long, but
Immediately pushed on our way to
Dawson, as we intended to come back
to Albany from that place. We took
this route to Dawson because we
were told that the roads were much
better.
DawsOn's Fine Cotton Market.
The fine little city of Dawson has
much hte air of a large city, as there
is always lots of life on the streets
there. The inhabitants are also
proud of the fact that theirs is one
of the best cotton markets south of
Macon. One of the reasons of this
is the fact that Terrell county pro-
duces more cotton to the number of
acres than any other county in the
state
We had already sent out some
advertisements to bill poster there
so our work did not detain us long,
and we said goodbye and whirled
it back to Albany.
Farmer Saves Elbow Exercise.
Nothing out of the ordinary hap
pened today, but We were very much
pleased as we'll as inspired at the
tween Albany and Dawson. Our
steamer needed some water and we
/ stopped at we'll pump which stood
very prominently on one side of the
road. We pumped and pumped and
only small stream of water came
into our bucket. Accordingly we in.
vestigated, and found that the pumr
had two outlets, one of which was q

the stockyard. In this most UNIQUE

WESTON HAS MOVED
INTO NEW STORE
Now Occupies One Of Finest
Store Buildings in County.
Moved this Week.
MUCH CREDIT DUE CONTRACTOR
Building is Of Cement, which will
be the Logical Building Ma
terial Of the Future.

Faye Weston moved across the street
into his new block this week and now
occupies one of the finest stores in Van
Buren county. The building is located
on the south side of Main street, has
frontage of 30 feet, depth of go feet with
an annex in the rear, and is two stories
in height, with basement under the
entire building. The store room is large
and commodious, has high walls and
front of large plate glass windows. The
ceiling is of steel, painted white, as are
also the side walls. The fixtures are
new and conveniently arrsnged. In
fact, everything about the building is
bright, clean and inviting, and is ad-
mred by all who enter the store.
Contractor G. g. Young, who was the
architect and builder, is to be congratu-
lated on the results of his efforts. Con-
siderIng the many delays on account of
having to wait for material, the building
has been completed in a remarkably
short space of time. The walls are
built entirely of cement blocks of Mr..
Young's manufacture, and 1T is the first
store building to be erected out OF ce-
ment in Paw Paw. People have been
somewhat skeptical in regard to the
stability of cement blocks, and have
hesitated about using them for building
purposes. But Mr.. Young has demon
strated that cement work has come to
stay, and that in the future it will with
out doubt be used exclusively in the
erection of large buildings.
The second floor of the block has been
finished for office rooms. There are two
suites nicely arranged and well finished.
The front rooms will be occupied by DR..
ii. l.. Charles and those in the rear by
ex- Prosecuting Attorney r Nj. Chase as
law offices. The above gentlemen when
located will have as fine Office rooms as
there are anywhere in the county.
The entire building is heated by
steam. II. j. Dunbar had the contract
for the heating, plumbing and roofing
and Mr. Weston states that the work
was completed to his entire satisfac-
ton.
BY faithful, conscientious labor Mr..
Weston has built up fine business in
Paw Paw and may well feel proud of his
elegant new quarters.

TAKES ISSUE WITH MROUNHAM INTERESTING DRESS" AFFAIR
w. @. Wildey Replies to Report Of
Southern Mich. Fruit
Association.

My attention has been called to an
article in your last issue, stating that
.ll72 the average of the concord sold by
the Lawton association was the highest
average price received by any associa-
ton.
While the Paw Paw fruit growers did
not have the advantage of the early con-
cords that grow on the light soil around
Lawton, still their selling price averaged
.ll93 or gain of 002. Lawton dsduct-
ed 10 per cent for handling or .0ll72 per
basket leaving .005S6 as gain. 005
charged by the Paw Paw fruit growers
union or a difference of .000S6 Add
this to the difference in selling price
and We have .00l in favor of the Paw
Paw fruit growers union. Estimating
the Oil cars handled by the Lawton
association at 5000 baskets IN each car
or 2,733,000 and multiplying by the diff
erence in price at which the Paw Paw
fruit growers sold theirs, would amount
to S273300 or in other words had the
Lawton sold their grapes for as much
per basket as the fruit growers union
the growers in the Lawton association
would have received S273300 more for
:heir crop. While this is not large a
mount it is worth looking after.
For the season of 1907 the difference
is even greater of the Paw Paw Fruit
growers union. ] want this opportun-
ity to ask the growers to lay in at least
one half of the baskets they are likely
to use this season, during the next two
or three months 1t is unfair TO ask
the manufacturers to carry all the stock
needed for a seasons crop in fact they
cannot for none of them have the stor-
age room. By laying in part of your
next seasons baskets, you would great
ly relieve the situation.
