It is somewhat difficult to state de-
initely the prospects of the various clubs
of the District of Columbia for 1911, but
il is fully expected that the coming sea-
son will be much more interesting from
golf standpoint than any preceding
l. 4qne Golf has shown a very marked ad-
tance here during the past five years
fnd as the standard of playing improves
the interest in the game increases.
III The Chevy Chase and Columbia Golf
Club officials are said to be heartily in
favor of having the annual event of the
Middle Atlantic Association brought here
next season, and also the event of the
L. S. G. a. woman's championship. 1t
was pointed out by Miss Alice B. Sanger.
OF the BannoCkburn, that there were only
thirty-cight starters in the women'S
championship held a Chevy Chase Club.
in October, 1905. This was the smallest
entry list at any time during the last
decade. One reason. no doubt that there
was not a larger attendance is simply
because the majority of the women golf
ers did not want the championship TO be
! held at Chevy Chase. yet another being
probably that the majority OF women
players are strongly in favor of having
the championship held where the great
est number of women can reach the
links with the least possible loss of time
and expense.
DR.. Har'oin was attending a little girl
who had been quite sick. He sat at her

John J. German, the right-hand man

The PhiIathea Bible Glass offers LoUing
Tribute to the Memory of Mrs Geise

Jan. 10, 1851-April 10, 1911.
When Mrs. Mollie A. Geise breathed
her last one of the best beloved wo-
men of Dawson passed into the great
beyond. Her life was modest and
unobtrusive, and the end came with
out struggle. Mrs. J. H. Witch
ard with gentle touch closed the tir-
ed eyes and all was peace.
Death sat in silent majesty upon the
form now freed from pain,
And the dear kind face so peaceful
seemed almost young again.
About forty years ago Mrs. Geise
and her husband, the late Geo. A.
Geise, began life together in their
cottage home on the corner of Sew
enth avenue and Orange street.
Years passed on, and the cottage
gave place to the large and comfort
able building which today stands
among the trees planted in the long
ago by the young hOme-makers. To
this couple one son and two daugh-
ters were born. While the children
were yet young the husband and
father was taken away by death.
The mother thus left alone realized
the sacred responsibilities of rearing
and educating her children. The re-
suit shows that she did her work no
bly and well. Mr.. T. c. Geise enjoys
the confidence of his fellow citizens,
and is one of Dawson's most capable
business men Surely no son ever
gave a mother more tender devotion.
Mrs. John Harrell, nee Miss Nellie
Geise, is an accomplished musician.
Miss Mollie Geise, by her talent and
culture, has won for herself an envi-
able place among the teachers OF
Georgia These children still live to
honor the memory of mother, God S
best earthly gift. "Her children
arise up and call her blessed" There
are five children-Foster, Car
olyn and Elizabeth Geise and Helen
and Mary Nell Harrell. Two sisters
of the deceased remain-Mrs. j. A.
Sears of Dawson and Mrs. S. Nj.
Thompson of Albany. No record of
the Geise family would be complete
without some mention of Fanny, the
faithful, devoted colored woman. In
early life Fanny was left an orphan,
and providentially fell into the
hands of Mrs. Geise, who trained her
in ways of righteousness. Fanny has
the confidence and respect of all who
know her, and is an honor to her
race. The influence of our deceased
friend is not limited to the members
of her household; many people in
Dawson who boarded in this home
can bear testimony to her kindness
of heart and nobility of character.

COURT RESERVED DECISION
HEARD EVIDENCE AND ARGU-
HENT IN TELEPHONE CASE.
Some Citizens Testify New Rates
Are Satisfactory, and Others As
sert They Are Not.

Some Citizens Testify New Rates
Are Satisfactory, and Others As
sert They Are Not.
The case of the Mayor and Coun-
ell of Dawson against the Dawson
Telephone Co., in which it is sought
to enjoin the company and prevent
the collection of increased rates of
so cents and $1OO a month for
phone service, was heard by Judge
Worrill in Cuthbert Friday.
A number of city officials, officers
and stockholders of the telephone
company and citizens went down to
Cuthbert City Attorney l.. G. Hoyl
and Attorney T. T. Miller of Column
bus represented the city, and At
torneys H. A. Wilkinson and NJ. c..
Edwards appeared for the telephone
company.
The trial consumed practically the
greater part of the day, and after
hearing the evidence and the argu-
ments on both sides Judge Worrill
announced that he would take the
case under consideration and render
his decision later.
Before the petition for injunction
was heard attorneys for the city ask
ed leave OF the court TO file an in
teryention signed by o. E. Lowe, B.
F. Melton, S. d. Bowman, ]. P. Per-
ny, L. G. Durham and j. G. Dean ask
ing as citizens of Dawson that they
be made parties to the suit. This
7la+itinn rnCictn1 hu tho
neys for the telephone company, but
was allowed by the court.
The public is already familiar
with the case in all it's details from
its beginning, and the only new mat
ter of interest that developed at the
trial Friday was the introduction
by the telephone company of a GER
tifCate signed by nearly 100 subscrib-
erS to phones to the effect that they
believed the new rates were just and
reasonable and had not asked the
council to take steps to enforce the
rates stipulated in the franchise, and
the introduction by the counsel for
the city of atfidaVits from about %
citizens that they were solicited by
the Dawson Telephone Co. when it
was first organized and intended to
install an independent system to take
stock in the company and subscribe
for phones with the understanding
and promise that not more than
$3.50 per month for residence
phones and $3.50 per month for bus
mess phones would be charged.
t will perhaps be some days yet
before Judge WOrrill makes known
his decision.

$4,000 FOR TERRELL FARM
c. l.. Emanuel of South Carolina
Buys LIS Acres in the Third
District. May Move Here.

Another real estate deal of inter
est was the sale last Thursday of
1,175 acres of land that belonged to
Lowrey Bros. to Mr.. C. L. Emanuel
of Borden, S. C.
The farm, which is known as the
"McLain place." is in the Third dis
trict, and the price paid was $4,000,
or about $25.75 an acre. The sale
was made by Mr. J. c. Duke, of the
w. H. Davis Realty Co. Possession
will not be given until next fall,
when Mr.. Emanuel will probably
move here and give his personal at
tention to the farm.
Terrell is the best agricultural
county in Southwest Georgia, and
the tide of immigration has begun
to flow in this direction.

A GOOD FISH STORY.
1t Is Some Different From the Usual
Run of Them, Though.


Thursday night several of the
Dawson disciples of Walton drove
out to Meltons mill to disport
themselves with the finny tribe and
ENJOY a good breakfast such as APP
Deals to fishermen.
Along about midnight the eyes of
three or four of them grew heavy
while watching and waiting for the
corks to bob, and they withdrew and
sought quiet place for repose.
While they slumbered their COM
panions cooked and ate all the fish
and Just before day quietly took
their departure for Dawson.
When the sleepers awoke in the
grey of the early morn and found
out what had happened and saw the
tantalizing presence of a pile of fish
scraps and bones what they thought
and said had best be imagined and
not printed.

There is only one solution to a life
that makes every day a days jour
ney toward the celestial city-it is
"a life hid with Christ in God" "She
hath done what she could, and being
dead yet Speaketh." The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. H. T.
Crumpton, assisted by DR.. ]. A. Ivey
and Rev. NJ. B. L. Binion. The last
two ministers have been lifelong
friends to the family. Mr.. Crumpton
read appropriate selections from
Gods word and made fitting re-
marks. DR.. Ivey, from a long ac-
quaintance and close friendship,
spoke words of comfort and condo
lence. Mr.. Binion in an earnest
prayer committed the bereaved ones
with their burden of sorrow to the
Great Burden-Bearer who knows the
needs of the human heart, and
knowing will give unto them beau
ty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourn
ing, the garment Of praise for heavi-
ness" The service of song was rem
dered by Miss Jessie Martin, Mrs. w.

and Messrs. w. P. Hornady and w.

ly tender and impressive, and was
never more appropriate than on this
occasion:

From which none ever wake to

The many beautiful flowers bore
silent yet eloquent testimony to the
high esteem in which our friend was
held by the people of Dawson. The
