\ Statement Relative to the COmpa-
ny, and the Assessment Notices
Now Being Sent Out.

In an interview with one of the
officials of the Southern Life In
surance Company. of Dawson, rela-
tive to the assessment notices they
are now sending out, we gathered
quite a bit of information. The no
tees now going out call for ten as
sessments, which at first glance
seems large, but when it is consid-
cred the Terrell county division went
seven months without death or as
sessment, that Randolph went thir-
teen months without a death or as
sessment, and other divisions in like
proportion, and that thirty-siX free
claims have been paid it is astound-
ing that with the exceedingly low
rate they have had in force they

ENTHUSIASTIC ENDORSEMENT
Terrell Countian Commends Judge
Who Held Husband Not Required
to Support Mother-in-Law.

The News does not print communi-
cations Of any kind unless they are
accompanied by the name of the
writer, but we, violate that long es-
tablished rule this week in order
to give publicity to a matter in which
an unknown correspondent is evil
IDENTIFY deeply concerned. The fol-
lowing letter, bearing the Dawson
postmark, came through the mail
to The News Saturday:
Editor of The News: Please in
sert the following in your paper:
New York Oct 1.-THE new
court of domestic relations here has
officially ruled that man is not
obliged to support his mother-in-
law. There is no legal ground for
the belief of many women that when
they marry a man they can saddle
their whole family on him. declar-
ed the presiding magistrate in the
case Of~Stockey VS.. Stockey. A man
is not obliged to support his moth
er-in-law. Furthermore, if a wife
leaves her husband and goes to live
with her mother, not caring to live
with her husband, the husband is
not required to support her
l would add that neither is there
any scriptural ground for a man S
mother-in-law to have a more cor
dial welcome and loving reception in
his own home than his own mother
and loved ones, and when woman
is cruel enough to think that the hus-
band should tolerate it she must not
be at all surprised if he prefers al
most any other place to spend his
leisure hours than with her. To
all such so-called wives I will say,
if you have a son your time is com
ing bye and bye when you can real
ize the fond pleasure of receiving
such treatment. You will surely
merit it. A. b. c.

Thousands Came to Dawson To See

the Elephant and Other Sights.
There were more people in Daw-
son Wednesday than you could shake
a stick at-more. and then some.
Our country brethren and sistern
were all on hand, and so were their
cousins, and their aunts. Big and
little, rich and poor, white and black,
the lame and the halt came and en-
joyed themselves seeing the sights
of Observation-Disclosures shows, the
most elaborate and best circus that
had visited Dawson in a number of
years.
The exhibition was we'll up to the
mark. All of our ancient and hon
orable animal friends, freaks and
monstrOsilies were therein the big
tent and the side shows. There were
the riders, there were the artists of
the aerial trapeze, male and female,
as usual; there were the trained
elephants, lions, tigers, bears, some
good ones, too the tight-rope per-
formers; the tumblers; the contor-
tionists; the jugglers, and the funny
clowns-all were there.
The circus was all show should
have been, and much more than it
might have been and still kept the
crowds in good humor.
The kids had bully time" the
youthful contingent got their mon
ey's worth, the grown-ups had no
kick coming, and the old folks
found it pleasant enough.
