A UNIQUE CUSTOM.
Next Week Will Be VinOI Week With
the Dawson Drug Co.


Some years ago the Vinol fraterni-
ty of which the Dawson Drug Co.
are members, originated the idea of
having a national display week of
Vinol and companion products semi
annually.
This Vinol fraternity must be quite
an extensive organization, for return
ed travellers tell of the wonderful
window displays of Vinol which they
have noticed in their travels through
Canada, Cuba and as far away away
az South America.
The Dawson Drug Co. are now
preparing for Vinol week, which will
begin next Monday, Nov. 3rd. Their
attractive window arrangements and
store decorations will show the same
enthusiasm which they have for
years put behind this meritorious
Cod-Liver and Iron preparation.
Later in the season they intend to
give away a new Vinol Cook Book
to their customers. Every woman
interested in good cooking receipts
should call and get one.

BURGLARS BREAK IN STORE
SECOND VISIT MADE TO GRAVES
STATION BY ROBBERS.
This Time They Succeed in Getting
Into the Establishment of Dis
mike 4 Davidson.

Into the Establishment of Dis
nuke Il Davidson.
Burglars again visited the store of
Dismuke & Davidson at Graves Sta
ton Tuesday night, and this time
thew effected an entrance. They went
into the store by breaking the tran
som over the rear door.
The visit of the robbers was not
detected until Wednesday morning,
when Mr.. |. H. Kimble went to open
the store.
The robbers evidently wanted
nothing but money, as the only thing
missed from the stock of goods were
eight bottles of Chero-Cola, with
which they refreshed themselves.
The postoffice is located in the store
and several registered letters were
opened and the drawers showed evil
dence of having been searched.
There is no clue as to who the
burglars are, and the fact that this
burglary followed so closely upon
the one that was attempted on the
same store Friday night of last
week, for which two young white
boys who left a circus at Cuthbert
and were tramping their way back to
North Georgia are held in jail here,
causes many to believe that the pris-
oners did not commit the first crime.

At a meeting of the board of stew
ords of the Dawson Methodist church
tuesday night it was unanimously
voted to invite the South Georgia
conference to hold its 1914 session
in Dawson.
This action of the stewards will be
ratifed by the church Sunday, and
nawson's claims will be strongly
urged when the conference meets at
Macon on November Goth.
Dawson was Macon's strongest
rival when the latter place was chos-
IN a year ago, and there is every
reason to believe that the invitation
IN come to Dawson next year will
be accepted. Many voted for Macon
last year with the understanding that
an invitation from Dawson would be
favorably acted upon this year.
The people of the city generally
want the next conference held here.
