WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO BEL
TER CONDITIONS IN CITY
AND COUNTY.

The Wednesday Afternoon Club oil
Dawson. organized in 1905, beg to
submit the following report:
The work of this club for SIX
years has peen principally a STUDY
course, civics and maintenance OF the
library.
Last year the library work was
separated and a new club organized
for it's support, so the Wednesday
Afternoon Club added the depart
ments of conservation, home econom-
les and health.
The aim of the club for this year
was to launch our new heads OF work
successfully and still carry on our
study course and civics.
The members of the club invested
$500 in a reading course-"Bay
View on Our Country. We found
this course to be so sectional as to
be narrow and uninteresting.
The Conservation committee agl-
tated the movement for a play
ground. which is now being laid OFF,
and secured the pledge of society in
the public school for the protection
Of our birds.
One of the strongest papers read
before the club this year came from
this department in plea to conserve
the American boy or Dawson's need
Of a Y. NJ. c. A., which we hope to
realize some time in the future
through our city federation.
Under the auspices of this depart
ment Mr.. Bell of Washington, D. c..
delivered lecture to the club on as
ISOLATED charities. Immediately there
was an investigation of street beg
ging, which with the aid of the city
council we hope to systematic.
The Home Economics department
organized a cooking school class
proposed well balanced school lunch
es, pledged to support the boys and
girls poultry clubs; obtained through
the city council a day electric cur
rent; requested the Seaboard Air
Line and Central OF Georgia to put
On a good roads train, and asked Mr..
Nelson for a domestic science teach
er for this county, which request has
been granted. Through an invitation
from this department Miss Mary E.
CresweH lectured on the girls can
hing club.
This club made the pledge and or
gganized the Terrell County Girls
canning Club. Our enrolment was
oae Of the largest in the state. Their
work has been successful, and we
1ope to take some of the district ana
state prizes.

EARTHQUAKES SHOCKS.
The Disturbances Continue for One
Hour in Early Morning.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 7.--Severe
earthquake shocks, continuing al
most an hour, were recorded early
today on the seismograph at George
town University.
The disturbance continued inter-
mittently from 2:49 until 3:44
O'Clock, the most severe being noted
at 3:0S a. m. According to the uni
versity authorities the disturbance

A RECORD OF 20 YEARS BROKEN
Not a Single Divorce Suit Was Filed
for Approaching Term of Court.

for Approaching Term of Court.
Tuesday was the last day on which
suits could be filed for the approach
ing term of the superior court and
new record has been made by the
fact that not a single divorce case
made it's appearance on the docket.
Clerk Dozier says that this is the first
time since he has been in office,
period of twenty years, that some
several of them
have not found the matrimonial yoke
heavy and petitioned the court for
relief.
The amunt of litigation of all kinds
is remarkably small in the county at
this time. not more than a dozen
suits having been filed in the clerks
Office since the May term OF court
None of these, it is stated, are OF spe-
ciaI interest or importance.

TO IMPROVE SCHOOL GROUNDS.
CITY Council Votes to Lend Ladies
the Street Force.

Superintendent Mosley of the Daw-
son public schools appeared before
the city council Tuesday night as the
representative of the Ladies' Civic
Club, and requested
the aid of the city in cleaning up and
improving the school grounds.
A motion was adopted that the
street force be put under the ladies'
for this purpose for such length OF
time as they might desire.

MADE FORTUNE IN MUsKRATs.

Having paid for a fine farm near
Milton by the trapping of muskrats,
Mrs. James Jones has so fallen in
love with the work that she finds it
impossible to give it up. Thus far
this season she has broken all her
previous records for the number of
muskrats trapped.
Mrs. Jones is not only a trapper
of muskratS but is an expert rifle
shot and occasionally kills an otter,
a mink, an opossum or a raccoon. In
five years the efforts of the woman
have resulted in the purchase of a
nearby farm which she and her fam
lily now occupy.-Milton Letter to
the Philadelphia Press.

MACBETH AND sUMURUN.

81 perfectly adore Shakespeare's
plays" announced Miss Marvel, who
had been volubly discoursing on the
theaters to an entranced acquaint-
ance. "Now, Macbeth'-to my
mind, that s Shakespeare's greatest
masterpiece. I've seen it eight times.
It's perfectly wonderful. But I think
they make a mistake in the way they
present it. Now, the way I'd like
to see that play done would be to
have the most simple stage setting,
and then give it the way 'Sumurun'
is given-without words, you know.
1t would be fine. And l believe it
would take, too"

SALESMAN HAS GOOD THING
Though the Nature Of His Wares Was
Not at First Understood, He
Is Doing Well.

An enterprising typewriter sales
man who is drummer" for a ma
chine that can be easily carried
about-his friends call it "a coffee
grinder" its's so compact-recently
hit upon a scheme for introducing
it into private houses, where sales
are hard to make. He shipped one
hundred of the little typewriters to
as many houses along Fifth avenue
and the high-class residence streets
adjoining. His first "come back"
was a letter from a Fifth avenue
woman, who advised him to ''be more
careful" as he had given the house.

erybody, from the mistress to the
kitchen maid, feared "the queer look

were about to immense the whole
thing in a laundry tub when a gro
GERS boy told them what it was.
However, she inclosed a check for
''the queer looking box" and the
salesman is now plainly marking all
his samples.-New York Tribune.

Nathalie's laugh rang merrily over

hung up the receiver; but his brows
drew together in perplexed frown
as he opened the handbag half an
hour later and looked over the con-
tents.

TEACH HORSE TO KNOW VOICE
Animal Likes the soclability Of II and
VIII Learn Many Words, Ae-
cordinp to Authorities.

Talk to your horse and teach him
TO obey your voice as we'll as the
reins, advises a writer in the Spirit
Of the West. This may prove valu-
able if, as sometimes happens, the
lines break or become unbuckled.
Besides, the horse likes the sociabil-
ity of it. He easily learns a dozen
OF more words, but be careful to use
them only for exactly what you mean.
For instance, "whoa" means to stop
at once and stand perfectly still ;
"get up to go straight ahead and at
once; 'back" to step backward ;
"easy" or STEADY to slow up.
These words the horse readily
learns and takes kindly to. walk
means to change at once to walk ;
and call right" spoken in calm,
reassuring tone, means "don't be
afraid, that won't hurt you," and it
is wonderful to see what a calming
effect it has. Speak firmly, but not
sharply to the horses, for they are
nervous creatures. Talking to your
horse will make him more intelligent
and more friendly.

History OF
A Handbag
BY Ella RondaH Peorce

I'll take this one" said Bruce
Bowie, lifting handbag from the
counter where a dozen or more were
laid out for inspection. "Can you put
It in a box for me7
Sure" smiled the obliging sales
woman, for young Bowie was good to
look upon and his voice rang pleasant
ly. He was looking abstractedly over
the top of her elaborate blonde Golf
fure, however; so she switched down
a white pasteboard box, dropped the
handbag within, and, swapping on the
cover, passed it up to the wrapper at
the end of the counter.
AS soon as he had received his
package, Bruce FASTENED away. uncon-
scious of the following glances of the
pretty and somewhat nettled young
saleswoman.
He's got a sweetheart and that's a
present for her." mentally commented
the girl behind the counter; and as
the broad shoulders and erect dark
head of her late customer disappeared
in the crowd, she became conscious Of
a high, agitated voice being directed
at her across her wares.
Miss, have you seen anything OF
my handbag? left it here few
moments ago.
The saleswoman swept a hurried
glance over the assortment of bags
before her; then her face crimsoned.
She made pretense of looking over
the goods, and her heart beat wildly
as she considered the possible conse-
quences of her own inattention.
Your bag-isn't here" she faltered.
II don't know anything about it..
Better make a complaint at the desk,
and leave your name"
Meanwhile, as the agitated sales
woman suspected, young Bowie was
carrying off the property. The first
intimation he had of the truth, was in
a telephone call from his married sis
ter, ten minutes after she had received
package delivered by a messenger
on the morning of her birthday.
Bruce, is this you? What does it
mean-that bag you sent me?"
What's the matter--don't you like
it? You wanted one of those Japan
ese things on a cord, Sc bought"
Bought? Why, Bruce, it isn't a
new bag at all. It's somebody's
don't you understand"
What" shouted Bruce. Then, "Na-
thalie, you must be mistaken l just

Forgot the Fringe.

His chief characteristics to the cas-
ual observer we're an assertively
pompous manner and an assertiveiy
bald head. For about an hour he had
monopolized the conversation around
the club fireplace by the recital OF the
struggle that had raised him from
poverty In youth to affiuence in ma
ture manhood
Eyes, gentlemen" he continued
proudly. II am a self-made man"
A wearied voice came from the re-
cesses OF an armchair; Il should
think, then. that you would have put
more hair on the top Of your head"
And the conversation wag al last
tnrnad.

For Women Who Care

recourse you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.
