damage being done. However, no

"A correspondent of The Liverpool
Mercury writes to that journal as fol-

cases of smallpox cannot be effect
lively cured in three days simply by
cream of tartar. This is the sure
and never failing remedy. One ounce
of cream of tartar dissolved in pint

cold at short intervals. 1t can be
taken any time, and is a preventive
as well as curative 1t is known to
have cured in a hundred thousand

vents tedious lingering. Sometimes
the very simplest remedies prove the
most efficacious.

CAUGHT ON THE CURB.

The mule market has picked UP
considerably since January list, and
the Kentucky mOcking birds are
being carried out to the farms in
large numbers. The stockholders re-
port sales considerably behind those
of last season, only II carloads hav-
ing been sold against % up to this
time a year ago. The price of mules
has advanced about SIS in the last
week or two.
The Carolina Development Co.,
who conducted the sale of the Wood
ley farm some time ago, forgot to
pay the gentleman who furnished
about $4,000 worth of meat for the
barbecue. They also left other I'M
paid bills.
The guano season is now open
ing. 1t is not believed the sales will
be as heavy as they were last year,
when, it is conservatively estimated,
the farmers of Terrell county used
$4,000 tons at a cost Of 100000.
Everybody should resolve to
give the public library a more earn
est and liberal support this year. The
ladies who have given Dawson this
institution deserve the support and
encouragement of every citizen.
Dawson has been asked to con-
tribute $25 to employ a lawyer to
take the matter of a "shoo fly train

way before the railroad commission.
That ought to be easy.

THINKS ROLAND HIS FATHER
COLUMBUS, OHIO, MAN ENQUIRIES
ABOUT DEAD BARBER.
Description Fitted Stranger Who Died
Here. Atlanta Woman Thought
He Might Be Her Husband.


Chief of Police Brown has received
number of letters from different
parts of the country making inquiry
about the strange barber who died
suddenly in Dawson three weeks ago
while on a spree and was known here
as j. l.. Boland.
Of all the inquiries only one clue
is given to the identity of the dead
man This was from Columbus,
Ohio, and the writer, who signed his
name as Bolein, stated that his faith
er was rowing barber, and gave a
description of him that was striking
ly similar to the dead man. The
man, who was known here as Boland,
said that his home was in Ohio, and
it is not improbable that he was the
missing father of the man who writes
from Columbus.
A woman writes from Atlanta that
her husband is missing, and thinking
that the man who died here might
have been her truant spouse asks
for information about him. The de-
scription she gave leaves no room
to doubt that the dead barber was
not the man which she would well
come home again.

Said to Have Had Missing.
Messrs. F. G. and Frank Thomp-
son went to Hatcher Station Sunday
to attend the funeral of the latter's
uncle, Luther H. Thomas, who was
found dead Saturday afternoon.
A coroner's jury held an inquest,
and returned verdict to the effect
that Mr.. Thomas, who was addicted
to the use of morphine, came to his
death by his own hand through an
overdose of morphine, two full bot
ties and partially empty one being
found in his room in little store
he had conducted for several years
Relatives of the dead man, however,
are not inclined to the view that he
suicided, but believe there is proba-
bility that he was a victim of foul |
play. Mr. Thomas is said to have !
had something over $500 on his per-
son on Thursday, and had prepared |
to come to Dawson on a visit that |
night. For some reason he failed to |
leave Hatcher Station and was last |
seen alive on Friday. When his per-
sonaI effects were searched immedi-
ately after the body was discovered
only $3.50, in silver, was found. No
note or other evidence that he in
tended to take his life was found.
The interment occurred at Morris
Station Sunday afternoon.
