BARS PERPENDICULAR DRINK

William Plumer Fowler, the new
chairman of the Boston licensing
board. says he does not intend to fig

wish to hound or harass liquor dealers
who live up to the terms of their
licenses. But let thos' who trans
gress bewarel He is unalterably OPP

who sits down 1T table and eats with
his liquor to the man who drinks at
a bar, because he feels that the per
pendicular drink" is tho most vicious
and destructive in the long run.

A letter has been received by
Mayor F. NJ. McNulty from the gen
tleman in charge Of the architectural

library phiIanthropies stating that
the contract to erect the $4,000 Ii
brary building Mr.. Carnegie will give
to the city of Dawson will be award
ed to the Shields-Geise Lumber Co., a
we'll known local firm of builders.
This is quite a compliment to the
Dawson firm, as bids for the erection
of the building were submitted by
contractors of Macon, Atlanta and
other large cities.
When work on the building will
be begun is not yet known, but it
will, presumably, be early in the new
year.
The library will be erected on a
lot given by the city for that purpose,
fronting Main street and adjoining
the city hall on the north.
1t will be a handsome structure,
and a decided acquisition to the pub

YOU REMEMBERED MOTHER?
What One Busy Man of the World
Has Written to His Mother.

Editor of The News: Recently
was privileged to read such a tender,
sweet message from a big, broad
shouldered busy man of the world
who never dreamed that other eyes
than those of his old mother would
see the love letter. This is what he
wrote: II hope that this Christmas
may be the happiest of your sweet
life, that your cup of joy may be fill
ed to overlooking, and that you may
realize that no mother has never
been loved more than your boy loves
you" Sentiment, yes. Too sacred
for public print at any other season
than this, when, somehow, heaven
and earth seem drawn closer togeth-
er. l am wondering if all the big
boys who have gone out from the old
home have any idea what letter
like that means to the mOther-heart
How merrily it sets the Christmas
bells to ringing. | am hoping that
every gray-haired mother in the land
may be the center of her children's
best thoughmts this yuletide. Sure
Iy, motherhood and childhood are the
lines that bind US to the eternal. On
this the birthday of the Christ let
each receive our loving thought
and tenderest ministrations. And

prayer of tiny Tim, God bless us ev-
