VISITOR LOST IN DAWSON
Former Citizen Didn't Recognize the
Town After Absence of 12 Years.

The progress and growth of Daw-
son the past few years is astonishing
to former citizens who come back on
visit.
Colonel D. R. Sheppard, who NOV
ed from here to Doerun twelve years
ago, came back for the first time
last Thursday, and so great had been
the changes that he was actually lost.
In trying to find his way from the
depot to the business section of the
city he went half mile in the wrong
direction, and was considerably
"winded" when he found John Ken
nedy, the first familiar sight, and got
his bearings.
Colonel Sheppard was prominent
lawyer of Dawson, and his friends
here will be glad to know that time
and fortune have dealt gently with
him in the wiregrass.

by Recent Legislature.

Information about the changes il
the Georgia pension laws has beer

The restrictions which had beer
placed upon disabled pensioners who
have been drawing a pension less
than $50 were removed, allowing
them now to apply for the $50 pen,
sion provided for in the act of 1910
The law was also amended so as
to allow pension of 500 to be paid

totally blind.
The time limit for filing applica-
tions in the pension office annually

THE CITY BOND ELECTION
Though Time to Vote Is Near No
Interest Is Shown.

The election to determine whether
bonds to the amount of $12,50O shall
be issued or the people shall pay a
tax rate of SIS on the thousand in
stead of $12, as heretofore, is only
one week away, but the voters seem
to be interested very little in the
matter and it is seldom mentioned.
The election will occur just one
week from today, Sept. goth, and
as it will require two-thirds of the
324 registered voters to carry bonds
2OS ballots must be cast for them
if the SIS rate is escaped.
AS but few people are especially
fond of paying taxes it is safe to say
that the bond issue will be authoriz-
ed if there is anything like full
vote next Friday.

fldent, he let no wet day pass without
one of these excursions. Week after
week, month after month, and year
after year this scene was repeated in
the streets of London town. AS time
went on the people grew accustomed
to seeing the eccentric Jonas and his
umbrella, but it was fully thirty years
before any considerable number OF
them could bring themselves to follow
his example.
And now look at them Wherever
the Englishman Is found, there is the
umbrella, as surely as the tea pot and
the marmalade jar. Other nations, too,
were slow to adopt the article. and
for years the British tourist with his
Inevitable umbrella was an object of
ridicule. He carried it to all parts
of the earth, and today in lands
where there is seldom any rain it is
in continual use as a sunshade. Mex
leo. South America, the entire South
Pacific, Hindustan, and many another
country are dotted with white umbrei-
las carried by European and native
alike. No one ever saw the baboo of
India without an umbrella. for it is an
essential part OF mis- English educa-
ton.
The crude and clumsy umbrella that
Hanway carried, of course has given
place to the neat, close-roIIed affair
Of today, with silk covering and handle
Of beautiful and expensive wood: but
the latter probably does not shed the
rain any more surely than did the
former, and If Jonas had not been so
persistent we might still bo vritbo,,+

Gown of Moonlight Blue Satin Some
thing of Novelty in Sar-

A beautiful gown for a. recent occa-
sion was made in a shade of moon
light blue satin of the softest con-
sistency, known as peau de suede.
The gown opened over a petticoat of
the mousseline de sole, while one
side of the corsage was likewise of
the filmy fabric relieved with trim
mings OF dull gold.
Another gown for the same occa-
sion was in a supple and beautiful
gold tissue shot with f1ageolet green.
The front of the gown was draped
with a spoon-shaped panel of flower
patterned Brussels lace, yelled with
a shadOwy draRery of fiageoIet green
tulle illusion, while the tissue was
left uncovered at the back. The cor
sage itself was hidden under a soft
fchu drapery of Brussels lace, show
ing a little gathered tucker of pure
white chiffon, while over it was the
same soft shadow yelling of green
tulle illusion, the drapery entirely hid
ing the sleeves.

London.-Two hundred Years ago

Jones Hanway was born in PORTSMOUTH,,
England
In the encyclopedias he is classed as
a philanthropist and traveller, and he
was both Of these. Having been ap-
prenticed to a merchant in Lisbon, he
became interested in trade with the
east and journeyed through Persia, en-
during many hardships, after which
he spent five years in St. Petersburg
In the way of philanthropy he was &C
tive in the help OF foundlings, fallen
women, the poor and prisoners. But
the one thing he did that makes his
fame everlasting was to introduce the
use of the umbrella to England and
Europe generally.
The umbrella for centuries untold
bad been used in one form OF another
by the people of the far east, and Han
way in his travels became a warm ad
vocate of that shelter from the rain
ard the sun. After he had retired
from business to London he had made
for himself an umbrella not differing
materially from those of today One
rainy day, when those who were so
unfortunate as to be compelled to go
out in the streets, were hurrying mis-
erabIy along bedraggled and dripping,
out stepped Jonas Hanway, opened his
contraptioA, and strolled Ieisurely
along Fleet street, dry as a bone and
happy. At least he would have been
happy If his umbrella had warded of
Tidicule as 1t did rain. For his ap-
pearance created almost a riot. For
getting the downpour, men, women
and children first stared, then hooted
and at last gathered in a mob that fol-
lowed the bold merchant along the
street, laughing and jeeTing. Doors
were thrown open and windows were
flung up and it seemed as if the en-
tire population of that part of London
came out to make fun of Jonas and

nature. then as now, and this especial
innovation did not please him. For
centuries he had got wet when 1t
rained, and why should he now change
and keep dry? So Jonas retired to
his house somewhat discounted. But
he was persistent, so on the next
rainy day he reappeared with his UNI
brella. Once more the jeers and
laughter. Once more the trailing,
dripping crowd. This time Jonas ex-
tended his walk and staid out as long
