The city council, which will meet
tonight, will pass a resolution in line
with the petition, and both will be
forwarded to the division superin-
tendent of the Southern Express Co.
The express company makes deliv-
cry at the homes in much smaller
towns than Dawson, and in towns
which do not give the company near
the volume of business that it re-
ceiyes here, and there is no reason
why this request of the people of
Dawson should not be granted.

Beer Gets Favorable Report.
The bill of Representative Melton
to prohibit the sale of near beer in
Terrell county was before the tenn
perance committee of the legislature
Monday afternoon for hearing, and
a telegram received in Dawson stated
that the committee recommended it's
passage.
1t is understood that there was a
spirited tiht before the committee,
the beer interests being represented
in opposition to the bill. The COM
mittee, however, by large majority
voted to report it favorably.
There is little doubt that the bill
will be finally passed, as it is seldom
that any local measure the represent
ative of a county is behind is defeat
ed.
The committee on Monday also
recommended by vote of 20 to 10
the bill to prohibit the sale of near
beer in Georgia.

Little Bob Strong, the infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J l.. Parrot of Daw-

Little Bob was just one year. five
months and eleven days old, but his
little body was beautifully shaped.
and the openings of his mind were
as delightful to his parents and
friends as the blossom of spring. His
smile had often filled their hearts
with joy, and seventeen months ac-
quaintance was long enough to unite
their affections closely to him. He
is now safe in the arms of Jesus, and
will be provided for above all that
we could ask or think. There he
shall not have want unsupplied or
wish ungratitied. The interment was

BRONWOOD BALL TEAM WINS.
Defeated the Crack Leslie Squad by
Overwhelming Score.

overwhelming score,
BRONWOOD, Ca, July 31st.-
1t was indeed a jovial crowd that
returned from Leslie Thursday even
ing with another baseball game to
their credit. The Leslie team has
had the pleasure of winning from a
number of other teams in this Sec
ton of the state and they felt they
could not rest until every foe was
vanquished. Consequently a day of
meeting was arranged. The two
teams, the strong Leslie bunch and
the one from BrOnwood, appeared, a
vast crowd assembled, and about 4
o'clock the battle commenced Gun
nels was receiving for Bronwood in
his usual style, with Williams on
the firing line. Heron and Johnson
were standing by the home club.
All went like the crowd expected for
a time; in fact, pretty nearly all the
time. They rejoiced to see their
much-wOrshipped athletes take the
lead by scoring two big runs in the
fifth inning. In the sixth though
they became a little serious, for the
enemy had tailed one. They thought
then that their boys had let Bron-
wood get chance, so they felt bet
ter until in the seventh and eighth
the same crowd had piled up seven
more runs, and all this time they had
tried to do likewise in vain. 1t was
sad for them to think of, but such
is life.

runs in the first inning. Later on
