DAWSON GAs.BAe EMITTIHe..... -?


Pickwick, Miss, Jan. End, 1911
Mr.. Editor:-Having pulled through
the holidays without having been
able to pick up much, / come to the
front as notorious as of old, and find
the Dawson gas-bag as full OF gas as
usual.
| am sitting to night in little
low hut by the Railroad, indicating
and romancing, but understand me
not dancing.
Christmas passed off very quietly
with nothing unpleasant transpiring
to nar the day in any way. And |
can trrthfully assert it would seem:
Peace on Earth, and good will to-
ward men. "
l can tell you Pickwick has picked
up in the past two months.
The Enterprise Lumber Co., who
own mill plant here. have built a
dummy line two miles distant, the
same has been equipped with Loco
motive, and cars to furnish logs for
the mill. The Company owns lot
of fine Long Leaf Yellow Pine tim
ber and in order to reach their tim
Der the road has been built. Mr.. ].
w. Green (Old Cyclone,) is manager
and is as full of energy, hustle and
hustle as ever. Mr.. Green keeps up
with every detail of his business, land
most assuredly should reap some re-
ward for the arduous duties imposed
upon him each day. Your humble
correspondent extends Mr.. Green
his best wishes and may his every
effort be crowned with deserved sue
cess.
The Pickwick Sports Messrs. Chas.
". Green, Robt G. Smith and Lee
Green, if l can hear, seems to be
holding their own with the fair sex,
for I can hear them during the wee
hours OF night singing: I'VE won't
go home until morning." and 1.-THE
Girl l left behind me. Now, Mr..
Editor when l hear the strains Of
those sports melodious voices float
ing on the midnight air, o, l do
sigh, and pine and Old Notorious
Dawson wishes he was a boy again,
but alas! he has to decline, and can
be found at that hour reclining and
not a seasonable hour for dining.
Mr.. Nathan Stay, member of the
Band of Pickwick Sports, left on
Thursday last to spend the holidays
with his parents at McLain.
Mrs. j. W. Green and her inter
esting little son Aubrey, left the
past week to spend the holiday sea-
son with her parents Mr.. and Mrs.
H. M. Weldy of McLain. Mr.. Wei
DIV is one of McLains most progress
sive merchants.
l wohder if Jim Hlllman has been
able to get him pair of socks yet,
if the weather has been as cold in
Old Greene as it has been in Marion
County, he shore did need them. l
have felt for him this cold weather,
but | have not been able as yet to
pick up pair to send him.
By the way Mr.. Editor l thought
it agin the law for fellow to use a
mans name without asking him, or
saying something about it; don't
know much law, l know more about
my mather-in-law, bnt l seed in the
Greene County Herald tother day
where a fellow said one of Dawson S
phrases. guess Dawson has right
to use phrases. and if he wants to
also make faces. can say one thing
| never did set on pile of straw and
make faces at my mother-in -law!"
l wonder if Brother Dan Breland
gobbled any turkey on Christmas
he has a good capacity for turkey
Judging from side view of him.
Well Mr.. Editor guess, and hope
you were fortunate enough to stick
your tooth in a juicy gobbler, hope
you got one alright, don't thing you
had nerve enough to raise one off
your neighbors roost.
To use one of Dawsons phrases, if
tother fellow will allow it, and he
is through with it, l herewith pre-
sent my compliments, and double
breasted regards to the Herald and
its able Editor and wish them a pros
porous New Year, and may the year
1911 be banner one for them and
may they be found at the highest
pinnacle of newspaper fame so deserv.
eddy won.
Yours truly.
CORDES DAWSON.
