The Ladies Improvement Club
have again taken up the matter of a
public park for Shellman, and now
have force of hands busily engaged
on plot of ground just north of the
depot, the land being leased ito them
some years ago by the railroad COM

Besides planting trees and flowers
they will erect a large pavilion and
band stand, and arrangements will
be made by which the Shellman Mil

This Issue of The News Carries Sew
eraI That Are of Interest.
There are several advertisements
OF automobiles in this issue of The
News that are of more than usual
interest, and should be especially
interesting to anyone who contem-
plates buying a machine.
The Lamar Automobile Co.. the
pioneer agency in Dawson and who
have conducted a garage for several
years, advertise that it is cheaper to
own an automobile than a horse and
proves it by Mr.. w. c. Thomas, who
states that his Maxwell runabout has
cost him but $50 in nine months.
The Woodley-HarVin Co., who
have succeeded Lowrey & Davidson
in the automobile business, adver-
tise the Whiting 20" for which
they have the agency. This is un-
doubtedly the trimmest and best
looking runabout that has been
shown in this section, and has an
enviable reputation as a first-class
machine in every respect.
Mr.. j. H. Fulford, who will move
from Dawson during the early sum-
mer, offers two Mitchell cars and a
Paige runabout for sale, and will
dispose of them at bargain prices.
