The Founder and Head of the Order
in the United States Is to BE in
Dawson in March Next.
While in Columbus in attendance
upon the W. o. w. log rolling" on
Thanksgiving day w. j. Lewis, con-
sui commander of the Dawson Camp
Woodmen of the World, secured the
promise of General j. c. Root, the
founder of the Woodmen of the
World, to officially visit the Wood
men of Terrell and surrounding
counties at Dawson when he makes
a tour of the larger towns of the
state next spring.
General Root will come to Dawson
some time during the month of
March, and the local Woodmen will
very likely give him a rousing recep-
ton. An effort will be made to Sc
|cure reduced rates on the railroads,
and all Woodmen in this section of
Georgia and east Alabama will be
invited to come to Dawson and par
ticipate in the reception of the Sow
ereign Commander, which will mean
that thousands of visiting Woodmen
will be here at that time.
The visit of the Sovereign Com
mander will be a distinct honor to
the Woodmen of Dawson and Terrell
county, as the distinguished visitor
will not officially visit more than a
dozen places in the state.
The Terrell county Woodmen will
| do everything in their power to show
the Sovereign Commander and other
visiting Woodmen what great town
and county we have.
