OUR DEAD

Beyond the sound of din and strife Beyond the battle roar of life
 They lie in calm and dreamIess rest Each with a flag upon his breast. Our soldiers! Facing shot and shell, In smoke and fire they fought and fell, Our soldiers armed with patriot pride Like noble patriots, nobIy died. Our ribboned garIands g1eam and glow On mounds late hidden meath the snow, And by their faithful presence here Bespeak the memories ever dear. Our soldiers, in the ranks of life On battle field field of life Our soldiers who in dying gave The crown of honor to the grave. Let martial music still proclaim Its tributes to each humble name While living hands their tributes bring And loving hearts their praises sing. Our soldiers, whosoeer they be, Lowly plumed with high degree, Shall ever hOnored be as now When crowned with rose and laurel bough.

Sunday Baseball To Be Played Is
 Current Rumor

That Sunday baseball will be play ed in this city in the near future was a strong but unofficial rumor, coming to The Farmer today from important sources.
 Through what channel the playing of the Sunday game will be author ized, The Farmers informants did not state. The impression was left however, that a means to permit the playing of professional ball on the Sabbath will be reached.
 It is said that local business men are bringing strong pressure to bear in favor of a liberal Sunday fearing that @ Puritanical enforcement of the Sabbath laws will hurt the city.

Mrs. w. j. Thompson, Who Died on
September 26th.

On Sept. 26th the angel of death
visited our home and took a dear
wife and devoted mother. She was
born and reared in Terrell county,
and before she married she was was
Miss Martha Hasty. Her parents
were among the best of this county.
She was SO years old. She married
in early womanhood William ].
Thompson of Stewart county, by
whom she is survived, as we'll as by
six Messrs. John and
George Thompson of Dawson, Mrs
g. P. Payne of Lee, Fla, Mrs. II. K.
Priest of Mitchell county, Mrs. E. B.
and Mrs. G. E. Priest of Terrell cnun-
ty. She is also survived by three
sister and two brothers. She was
true and loyal to her friends. She
loved her home and family ties rath-
er than the allurements of social life
In her devotion to her husband and
children she exhibited those tender
qualities of wifehood and mother
hood that will make her missed most
in the family circle, where her va
cant chair will ever be a sacred shrine
for her loved ones, and especially
her husband. She was laid to rest
in New Bethel cemetery. Her daugh-

ARE ENJOYING A FINE TRADE
MANY OUT-OF-TOWN SHOPPERS
BUYING IN DAWSON STORES.
Business Men in All Lines Are Hav-

This Season.

The merchants and business men
of Dawson are having the best early
fall trade they have ever had, consid-
ering the fact that the weather has
not been conducive to a large fall or
winter business.
The trade started early, and there
has been no let up in it, though the
recent cool snaps have put more gin
ger in the buyers and has made them
buy in larger quantities than they
would have done otherwise
The shoppers have come to Daw-
son from the adjoining towns in
greater numbers than ever before,
and everyone of them has gone back
home to tell Of the many inducements
and the splendid stocks which the
merchants here have to offer them
In every line Dawson is doing bet
ter this year than ever before. The
merchants have more goods and the
styles are better. They have bought
a class of goods that would suit any
of the larger cities, and which would
have dazed the shoppers of this city
few years ago.
The merchants here learned some
time ago that the buyers in Dawson
and in the country around want the
best goods they can get, and they are

HOLDING AND PRICING COTTON
SOME SUGGESTIONS OFFERED BY
REV. j. S. EUNDERBURKE.
Points Gut Plan Which, II Adopted,
Would Soon Make the Farmer
Master of g1he Situation.


Master of l6he Situation.
Editor Dawson News: Much has
been sale and written about financial
backing 10 enable,the farmer to price
and market his cotton. All this talk
about the farmer pricing and holding
his cotton for a given price without
financial backing is veriest nonsense,
and all the talk we have heard this
season about a German syndicate or
any other syndicate putting up S75,-
100000 for that purpose is veritable
gush and buncon3be.
There is enc way and only one way
Tor the farmer to get back Of him a
fund sufficient to enable him to fix
a price on his cotton and then place
1t upon the market as needed by the
manufacturer. and that way is to go
down into his own pocket and get it,.
Here is plan which appears to me
10 he practical Let every farmer set
aside one dollar on each bale of cot
ton grown by him as The cotton is
mar keted and deposit it in such bank
Inns cAo LlAG ICll LlSLD III JAiC N44
Ierent counties may designate and
Jake from the bank receipt for it.
Let them do this same thing for five
consecutive years. With an average
crop Of 100000 bales the farmers
would have back of them at the end
OF the fifth year $65, 100000, which
with interest at foUr and a half per
cent compounded annually would
amount to approximately SIS, OOO,-
UOO. With that amount of money
pack OF them they could fix price
not an unreasonable ONE, but good
pIlce-on their cotton and arrange
10 sell it direct to the manufacturer,
and put the gambler and speculator
OUT Of business 80 far as the cotton
Is concerned Let this money remain
IN the banks indefinitely Sccumulat-
ing four or four and a half per cent
interest. One cent saved on the pound
would mean an annual saving to the
farmer of $65, 100000; two cents
916O,OOO,O00. 1t is safe to say that
III decade after the plan became
operative the farmers would have
saved one and a half billion dollars.
III a decade they would have many

nlhg bread by the sweat OF the brow
ana Wall street upon her knees, and
doubt not that in three decades
IIney could buy out a good part of
wall street Then would this fair
southland bloom as the rose. Let
lne governors now at work upon this
cotton problem take up this simple
ana practical plan and institute at
once a general educational campaign,
Tor the people must be educated on
mis- as on other lines.
some one will object to this plan

Youths Companion Is for Everybody

o course if you are too young to
read or SO ,old you have forgotten
how you may not enjoy the Youth s
Companion. That is rather a sweep
ing statement, however, or hosts of
children love to have the stories and
jingles of the chHdren's page read to
them. There is many grandfather
and grandmother whose eyes are dim
who like nothing better than to sit
and listen to the Companion stories
and articles. And many blind per-
son, and even those who in addition
can neither speak nor hear have been
cheered by The Companion, it's con-
tents having been communicated to
them through the finger tips of their
friends. The reading Of the Youth S
Companion is a pretty sure cure for
all kinds of loneliness. Robinson

for 1912 and sample copies of the
