THE FAME OF ADAMS SPECIAL" WATCHES
The Action OF These Watches in Actual Has Made Them
Famous Time Keepers

Some more proof of the pudding
is the increased demand for the
Adams Special Watches. Every new
lot we get in are sold quicker. and
owing to the long time required in
getting these movements made up
and the great amount of time neces-
sary in their adjustment we find it
difficult to keep them on hand
These watches must go through
the most rigid tests from way below
zero in temperature to way above
the heat that it is possible for a hui
man being to stand. Then they must
prove by actual test to keep time in
all positions. So much for the
mechanism.
Now, as to the makeup of the ex-
quisite cases, we can place this move
ment in your own case or in one of
our solid gold or gold filled cases
either open or hunting.

Former Dawson Young Lady and a

Former Dawson Young Lady and a
Eufaula Young Man Marry.
A marriage of much interest to
the Dawson friends of Miss Nettie
Freeman, the bride. who for a num-
Der of years was a resident of this
city, occurred in Georgetown Thurs
day under somewhat romantic cir
cumstances. The following account
of the event is taken from the Eufau-
la Times and News:
GAS a very pleasant surprise to
their many friends Miss Nettie Free
man and Mr.. Claude Gilbert, whose
engagement was announced some
weeks ago, drove over to visit their
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Gay, at
Georgetown Thursday afternoon, &C
companied by her brother, Mr.. Ed
ward Freeman, and Miss Tommie
Searcy, and were quietly married at
the Gay home by Judge j. E. Dozier,
deciding on this plan for the cere-
mony rather than an elaborate we'd
ding, as was first planned. They re-
turned later in the evening, and after
tea at the Bluff City Inn, the brides
home, they left on the eight o'clock
train for a few days stay at Edison,
Ca, where Mr.. Gilbert will be en-
gagged looking after some electrical
construction. On their return they
will be at home in the beautifully
appointed apartments the brides
parents have fitted up for them eat
the Bluff City Inn. They are the re-
cipients of many handsome wedding
gifts, and the sincere good wishes
and congratulations of many friends.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward B. Freeman,
a strikingly beautiful young girl
gifted with graces that adorn Gull
tured womanhOod, and will glorif5
the life of the young man to whom
she has given her heart and life.
Mr. Gilbert is the oldest son of DR..
and Mrs. ]. 7. Gilbert, and young
man of superior integrity and per-
sonal worth. He we'll deserves the
lovely girl he has won for his wife,
and the union is most suspicious.
Both are social favorites, and their
friends are wishing for them that
'"Each succeeding day
May increase of pleasure bring,
Their life the month of May,
Or one eternal Spring.

This ruling was made necessary by
new United States law, which
changes the old conditions whereby

Agent S. P. Davis states there
has been good deal of kicking
about the rule, especially when a
man sends some one else for his

turns without it. The seekers tell
some wonderful tales of how the
man whose name is on the package
is sick, or not able to come for it.

Davis is thinking of starting in as a
physician, for he has worked some
marvellous cures. He will hear of a

SICK man appears sometimes within

When visitors approach the show
grounds the size of the city Of
tents fills them with amazement.
The menagerie has been increas-

is the largest in the world. It is
a labyrinth of stages, rings and

filling the arena from ground to
dome. There are 375 performers.
Over 300 of them are Europeans.
There are at least so sensational
acts on the long program.
There is an Introductory spec
