NEW DEFINITION OF G. o. D.
From Popular Magazine.

From Popular Magazine.
Mr.. Cohen was a bankrupt. He
had given the town of Lancaster,
Penn, a striking illustration of how
to run a retail business on grand
scale until the wholesale houses had
demanded payment of him for what
he had bought. He went to New
York and entered the office of the
firm which had been stung by his
bankrupt activities.
Throbbing with optimism he eX'
planned to Mr.. Oddenheim that he
intended to start a new business and
wanted to buy a long line of goods
Mr.. Oddenheim stuck his head out OF
the door and yelled out abruptly
Isaac, come down here. Mr.. Co
hen is here and wants to buy lot of
stuff. 1t is Mr. Cohen of Lancaster.
Mr.. Cohen, G. o. D."
At this Mr.. Cohen was greatly
angered.
FWhat do you mean?" he inquir-
ed, with heat. us not my credit
good for ninety days? What do you
mean by describing me as C. o.
DIP"
''Now, don't be alarmed, Mr.. Co
hem" said the junior member of the
firm. ''That &C. o. D. does not re-
fleet on your credit. When I called
out to Isaac said C. o. D. That
simply means Come Omediately
Down."

PARCELS POST ATTACKED.

BUSINESS IN DAWSON.

There has been some complaint of
business being dull in Dawson this
season, but The News is sure it is
due more to the universal habit of
complaining than to any real cause.
Although the cotton crop is short of
what it usually is, it is not as short
as it has been in some previous years,
and twenty thousand bales have al
ready been marketed here. The price
has not been less than ten cents this
season-it is now twelve-and the
crop will bring as much as that of
last year, which was the largest ever
grown. Besides, many of the farm
ers of Terrell county do not depend
entirely on the cotton crop. Much
grain is grown, and the revenue from
the corn and meat crops is no small
amount. And the potato crop, for
which there is always ready market,
is better this year than ever before.
While Dawson does not boast OF
many big department ores all class
es of goods are handled by the mer-
chants, who specialize on their indi-
vidual lines, and for many miles
people are coming here to sell their
produce and buy their goods.
The holiday business promises to
be the best in years. The merchants
have all bought extensively, and it is
safe to say their stores will be
crowded.
Dawson is all right. Quit grumb-
ling and boost awhile
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1912-12-03

By Christmas 22,5OO bales of wag-
on cotton, in all probability, will
have been hauled into Dawson and
sold here. Buyers will have paid
producers $1,25O,OOO for that cot
ton-and what the farmer got for
the seed is not taken into account.
A handsome sum, is it not? The
bulk of that money is spent here,
deposited in Dawson banks, and to
the credit of Dawson people be it
said that as whole they are thor
oughIy appreciative of the farm bust
ness the city enjoys, which is the
true basis of local prosperity

Hon. A. o. Bacon, in a telegram
to the New York Times, opposes pen
sioning the ex-presidents. He does
not think that they could properly
receive a pension from any private
person, nor does he favor general
law pensioning them. Senator Ba-
con adds, however, that special cir
cumstances may in particular in
stances justify pension to an ex-
president or his widow. Popular be-
lief is that Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs
Harrison are pensioned. This is an
error. However, Mrs. Garfield is re-
ceiving a pension.
