The fire spread to the buildings or
Pavonia avenue between Henderson anc
Provost streets, partly cutting thirty
dwellings,, which were occupied by two
and three families each. All of the in
mates escaped with their lives. but the
majority of them were scantily clad
and presented a pitiable spectacle
huddllng together in the storm in
search of refuge.
Many of the stricken families were
taken to the barracks of the Salvation
Army. near by, while others were
housed in the homes of neighbors.
Shivering in the cold and frantic
with fear, women and children flee
blindly from the fire through the snow
swept streets. Some of the men stopped
long enough to throw furniture anc
clothing to the street. Abandoned pile.
of furniture, often broken and snow.
covered, and indiscriminately jumble6
together with clothing and kitcher
utensils, added to the desolation of the
scene.
Driven from the neighborhood of the
fire by the sharp cold and falling snow
the thinly dressed refugees, many OF
them hysterical with fright, found
refuge in temporary shelters through
the fathers of St. Mary's Roman Cath
Ollie Church and members of the Sal
walton Army.
Fathers Ter Woert, Sheridan and
Martin, of st. Mary's, made heroic ef-
forts to calm the panic-stricken men
and women and directed them to places
of shelter A hundred families found
refuge in the Salvation Army barracks
at Fourteenth and Erie streets Food
was provided, too. by Monsignor John
A. Sheppard, rector of st. Michael's r.
c. Church.
At fire headquarters it was said to-
day a plant of the express company
had been destroyed by fire on the same
site twenty years ago. A month ago a
fire started near the same part Cf the
building where today's disaster origi-
mated, but the blaze was discovered in
time to prevent it spreading.
The fire started shortly after >
o'clock this morning in the engine
room of the building. 1t is believed
the burning of manure in a pit for that
purpose caused the blaze.
Watchmnn Turns in Alarm.
The night watchman, Fred Anckney,
was seen to enter the offices and turn
in the alarm, but it is not known
whether he was able to retrace his
steps through the dense smoke. Michael
Olwell, an employee. telephoned TO
BARLEY Herman, assistant superln-
tendent of the company, and, after
notifying him of the fire, was over
come by smoke. He was rescued later
by firemen.
A general alarm brought every avail
able fire-fghting apparatus in the city
to the scene. The hay and feed stored

Newark Wakes Up
Buried Deep in
Snow.

The first snow storm of the season
crippled the trolley and train service
everywhere.
The Public Service has its hands full
taking care of derailments on many of
its lines. The steam railroad officials
admit that despite the fact that their
sweeper gangs have been working since
midnight the local as well as The West
ern trains are "a few minutes behind
schedule time" Even the new short
line has been affected. A bulletin was
received at Park place from the Jersey
City office stating that because of
sticky switches" trains may be a few
minutes late"
The traffic on this line was excep-
ttonally heavy this morning owing to
the fact that many persons were of
the belief that the trains run under
ground all the way to New York.
The Pennsylvania officials say that
Western trains are from fifteen to
twenty minutes late, local trains from
two to three minutes" All section
men on the four railroads leading into
Newark have been pressed into serv-
ice, but as yet have not been able to
clear the tracks sufficiently to permit
of a clear road. There were no trains
on the Montclair branch of the Lacka-
wanna, and commuters We're forced to
go back to their homes or press stages
and hacks into service to bring them
to Newark, and from there to New
York.
The derailment of cars, the stalling
of heavy auto trucks and the breaking
of wires were responsible for many de-
lays in the Essex and Hudson division
of the Public Service lines. The de-
railment that caused the most trouble

APRIL 1861-APRIL 1911

Times change, and men often
change with them, but principles
never"
1t is always pleasant to let the
mind turn back reflectively to the
scenes and customs of long ago and
contrast them with the life Of the
present. A peculiar glamour lies
upon the past, and it's rich and mel
low light is heightened by contrast
with the glare and glitter of the
present; the contrast is a marked
one in almost every particular
even a half century only will suffice
TO make the comparison striking.
When Fort Sumter fell on the 18th
of April, 1861, just fifty years ago,
the news spread quickly all over the
country and caused the widest ex-
citement. Now peace has grown up
ON us with imperceptible silence and
sweetness, and has possessed US like
a chasm of mythical mystery.
Would it not be well for uB to
pause and think? Lest we forget,
lest we forget" it is well to hear
the glorious story of the past told
us once in a while 10 think of the
years so long ago; of the boy march
ing away from the sheltering roof of
home to the tentless and rainy biV-
-ouac, unflinching under the dreadful
clouds Of war, sacrificing the years
of stalwart prime to the stern yet
noble voice of duty. The years Of
strife rolled on, and the blue-eyed
boy became the bronZed man, dan
gers comrade, victory's dashing hero
again and again.
Our sad-eyed mothers who girded
on the sword of their husbands have
told the magnificent story-the story
of those brave men in the ranks,
many of whom were buried in the
long trenches on the battlefelds;
many who died on cots marked only
by numbers in the hospitals, and
some who slept where no white stone
sentinels their rest. IN Virginia,
in Ohio, in Mississippi are kinsmen
of ours, and we are bound to them
by the cords Of love and death The
Dawson Volunteers left Dawson on
the 7th day of May, 1861, with 107I
men, and returned home on the 18th
day Of May, 1865, with % men and
officers. I know today of only one
in DawsOn-Mr. ]. w. Wooten. who
when quite a lad went as a recruit
in April, 1864.
In the sixties the mission Of wo-
man was to inspire; now the mission
of woman is to commemorate, and in

with US. We and our children and
our children's children snail hold
them in honor forever. The story
will live on. 1t is embalmed in song,
in history; it is cast in bronze, sculp-
tured in marble, enshrined in the
hearts of the people of our glorious
southland; it lives in the memory
of the world And we plead that all
mothers instill into the tender hearts
of the young boy and girl love and
reverence for the soldiers of the
south-the sacred dead and those
who are still with us. We will low
ingly place the rosemary of remem-
brance above the hallowed dust, and
the Southern Cross of Honor, the
iron cross, we will give to our vet
Grams as a memorial of their valor
and chivalry.
The ladies have under advisement
a suitable programme for the OBJ
servance of Memorial Day, April
26th. The services of Col Robert
NJ. Howard of Columbus have been
secured as orator of the day His
record as a confederate soldier
speaks for itself.
The Memorial Association and the
Daughters of the Confederacy, with
the cooperation of the veterans,
propose to make it a memorable
day in the history Of Dawson.

NO HUSBAND WANTED THERE
YOUNG LADY OF ROUTE 3 BOX 80
SAYS IT'S ALL A MISTAKE.

Writes The News a Letter in Which
She Asks That Quick COrrec-
ton Be Made.
In the last issue of The News was
reprinted from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton an article which stated that "a
charming, stylish, sweet, affectionate
and good christian girl devoted to
her church and to know whom is
to love her, wanted husband who
is refined, sober, good looking, of
good standing and possessing some
wealth. and asking that all cOmmu-
ncations from interested parties be
addressed to Miss Dixie B., Newton,
Ca, Route 8, Box So"
But it is all mistake, and hand
some and wealthy young bachelors
who were interested by this apparent
opportunity to get nice, sweet
young wife are doomed to disappOint
ment.
Not only has the young lady who
lives on route at box 80 not adver-
tised for a husband, but she has not
authorized any one who has adver-
tised for one of the lords of crea-
box 80, and in order that it may be
widely known requests The News to
print the following letter, which we
gladly give space:
The Young Lady's Correction.
Newton, Ca, March 81, 1911.-
Dawson News. Dear Editor: I write
to inform you that no one at box 80,
route 3, is advertising for a husband,
so I ask you to correct the mistake
at once in print. Thele is not but
one young lady at box 80 on route 3,
and l want the public to understand
that she is not advertising. l am the
girl that gets mail at box 80, and l
know l am not advertising. l can't
account for the ad, and you will
please give my personal letter place
on your papers pages. There is no
one at box 80 advertising. l don't
know where the mistake came from,
and l don't know anything about it;
only | know that route number and
box number are not correct, for that
is my box number, and | am sure
| did not give any one leave 10 have
my box number in their communica-
ton, and the public will please note
that no one at route 3, box 80, New
ton, Ga, is advertising. I can't see
how such a mistake was made.
Trusting that this will be put be-
fore the public at once. I am very
respectfully,

FATHER OF LAKELAND LADY
KILLED BY TRAIN

Mrs. J. q. French has lust re.
ceived the sad intelligence Of tn.
death OF her father. Mr.. Matthew At.
kinson. which was caused by tha,
gentleman being run over by q train
at his home In Red Key, Indiana, q
few days ago.
Squire Atkinson, as he was known
was walking along the railroad track
and being partially deaf he did not
note the approach of a swiftly mov-
ing train which ran over him be-
fcre 1t was possible for the engineer
to stop. His body was literally
ground In pieces and was scattered
for some distance along the track.
Deceased was IS years old. and it
was owing to his advanced age that
his hearing was impaired to such an
extent that he could not hear the ap-
PrOach of the train.
Mrs. French has the sympathy of
the community in her bereavement.
