BERRY TO MARRY
FREE OF CHARGE
JUSTICE OF PEACE MAKES Ex.
cELLENT OFFER TO MAIDENo
WHO POP THE QUESTION.

81 will marry all couples who come
to me during this present year, 1912
free of charge declared Justice OF
Peace W. J. Berry this afternoon
upon this provision, that the bride
has taken advantage of leap year and
has proposed to the groom
Girls, here is your chance. 1t is a
bargain that cannot be overlooked
under any consideration and has the
bargain counter offerings in the de,
partment stores beat all hollow. The
offer is open during this entire leap
year, but it behooves you to get in
early. There is no strings attached
to the proposition of Justice of Peace
Berry. All that is necessary is to pop
the question, using as an argument
that it will be the first economical
step of marital bliss. Then lead your
blushing masculine, treasure before
Justice Berry, make the simple state.

the erstwhile "parson" will do the
rest. He will take your word for it.

your groom in an embarrassing posi-

Justice Berry will ask no questions.

most ceremonious service.
Should the fair maiden be inclined
to entertain suffrage convictions and
desire to have the marriage ceremony
performed according to the rules
adopted by suffragism, Justice Berry
will leave out the word "obey," pro-
viding the captive groom is willing.
To any woman that obeys the dtrec-
ton of cupid this year and takes unto
herself husband the justice will pre-
sent a handsome wedding present.
Justice Berry declared today that
he believes in encouraging the fair
sex in the privileges granted them
through the grace Of leap year. He
realizes that many times bashfulness
prevents the man from claiming his
bride and since the year divisible by
four has been established to overcome
this bashfulness that the little god Of
love might attain his ends, it is no
more than right that the spirit of the
provision may be fulfilled and OBJ
served in the proper manner.
Justice Berry has made this excellent
offer through his admiration of that
suffrage quality, if it may be termed
as such, that prompts the woman to
perform that which finds the man fail

Aloysius of the Sisters of Charity died
at Mount Carmel. Since last March
Sister Mary St. Aloysius had been a
sufferer, bearing patiently and with
out murmur all her sufferings. Her

tion to all. For five years she had
taught at st. Raphael's parochial
school and was beloved by all the pu.
pills. Her life work was finished at
the beginning of the new year and
her death was a fitting close to a life
devoted to the service of the master.
The funeral was held from the
chapel of Mount Carmel, requiem mass
being solemnized by Father Clark, who
also officiated at the interment in the
convent cemetery. Sister Mary st.
Aloysius is survived by her parents,

TERRELL BOYS WILL COMPETE

To Contest for Prize of 800 for
Largest Yield ON Acre and $50 for
Best Ten Ears of Corn.
Three of Terrell county's youth
full corn growers will compete for
two premiums offered by the Geor-
gia State Fair, which will open at
Macon on next Tuesday, the 18th
inst. These prizes are 800 for the
largest yield of corn on one acre of
land, and $50 for the best ten ears
of corn.
The boys are George Smith, son of
G. F. Smith; Walter Bridges, son of
H. T. Bridges, and Finn Bridges,
son of j. W. Bridges. Their corn
was gathered and measured some
time ago, but the yields have not
been made public, and will not be
until announced at the fair. 1t is
known, though, that each raised
more than one hundred bushels, and
it is believed that at least one of
them has fine chance of capturing
the state prize for Terrell county.

get a fine $3.50 Percheron mare Of
fered by the Central railroad.
A number of other Terrell county
boys have also made fine records as
corn growers this year, but The News
is not informed as to whether they
will compete for any of the prizes
that have been offered.

COMMITMENT TRIAL WAS HELD
M DAWSON WEDNESDAY.

and Bound Them Over to City
Court Under $3.50 Each.

Justice J. L. Murray of the Sixth

ed the carcass of a hog that had died
and been hauled to the woods for
buzzard food and peddled it for fresh
meat.

act became known and was
not captured until a few days ago,
was held under a bond of $50. VIII

under a bond of 500, waived pre-
liminary trial Wednesday and his
bond was increased by Judge Murray

term of which will convene on the
third Monday in this month-one

Previous Engagement Will Prevent

subject of education.

day, perhaps during the November

With "The Rosary"
The opera season in Dawson will
open next Tuesday night with THE

Edward E. Rose and produced by the
well known theatrical managers, Ed

The play deals with conditions in
the American home today. To prove
this a typical American family is
shown A young wife, devoted
husband, their friends and all the
beautiful surroundings that wealth
can procure are presented. Discord
enters their home; no one knows
whence it came, but it grows into
suspicion and doubt; the household
is rent and happiness is gone. Then
rises the other power, higher spir-
itual note, which brings the discord-
ant souls of the family back to peace
and happiness.
The initial play of the season is
enc of unusual merit, and no doubt
large audience will be present

Dawson Journals of Forty Years Age
Brought to The News Office.


Brought to The News Office.
Mr.. J. T. Oxford has brought to
The News office six copies of the
Dawson Journal of forty years ago,
which. We're found among the papers
of his father-in-law, the late w. S.
Marshall. The dates of the papers
are Dec. IL, 1872, Aug. IA, 1873,
May %, 1874, Oct. IL, 1875, Nov. 2,
1876, and Feb. IL, 1880. The first
three papers were published under
the ownership of Weston & Combs,
and the last three by ]. D. HOyl
& Co.
The papers are in an excellent
state of preservation. Remarkably
few names of both business men and
citizens that appear in the columns
of these papers are familiar today.
Less than a dozen are now residents
of Dawson. Nearly all of them have
,oined the silent majority, while a
few are now residents of other
places.

SEED SHORT AND DAMAGED.
Situation Unsatisfactory to Oil Mills
and Seed Buyers.

Situation Unsatisfactory to Oil Mills
and Seed Buyers.
The cotton oil mills in Dawson and
the cotton seed buyers of the city
and section are facing a situation
which is by no means pleasing. There
is a general dissatisfaction among
them by reason of the shortage in
the cotton seed supply and the poor
quality caused by the incessant
rains. The price of sound seed is
advanced somewhat over the market
for this time last year, though in
some instances the seed have been
found in a half-decaying condition
and good for nothing but fertilizer.
The Dawson market at this time
is paying over 500 a ton, or $1.OO
per hundred. The seed from a
bale of cotton average in worth at
present prices between So and $40.
