Only Jail Cases Will Be Tried. Big
Damage Suit Settled.
The quarterly term of the city
court will convene next Monday, and
the session will in all probability be

only jail cases. No cases in which
the defendant is under bond will be
called. An adjourned term will, as
usual, be held in December and the
dockets cleared of all cases.
The settlement between the Cen
trail railroad and Mr.. J. M, Fletcher
will be made matter of record dur
ing the approaching term of the
court. Mr.. Fletcher, who was suing
the railroad for $4,000 for the
death of his son, Dewey, who was run
over by a passenger train last Octo-
Der, has been paid $4,000, and will
withdraw the suit.

DEATH OF MISS TABITHA LAIN
Friend Pays Tribute to the Memory
of Young Lady.

Miss Tabitha Lain, who departed
this life October 9Th, 1914, at her
home in the Twelfth district, had
been in bad health for eight months.
All that loving hands and kind ply
sician could do was done for her, but
the good Lord knew best. She was
kind to all her friends and neighbors
and was loved and highly esteemed
by all who knew her. 1t seems hard
for her to be taken away in the bloom
of life, but she was willing to go
at any time. She was laid to rest in
the new Beulah cemetery, Elder
Matthews conducting the last SER
vices in the presence of large gath
ering of loving friends and relatives.
The deceased was a daughter of
the late ]. D. Lain, and had just be-
come 81 years of age. At the time of
her death she wore a ring that was
given to her six years before by a
friend. She had never pulled it off in
compliance with a request that she
wear it as long as she lived, which
she did until the last breath left her.
The ring was then returned to the
one who gave it as a present on her
18th birthday.
She was warned of her death by a
dream that she was at Beulah church
in company with several of her young
friends and a young man, Mr.. c. c.
Turner. sang the song II Am Going
Home" and she never returned
there. We truly hope to meet her in
heaven. A FRIEND

TELLS HOW TO PLANT YOUR WHEAT
Mr.. j. r.. Mercer, Who Has Given
Wheat Growing Much Attention,
Writes on the Subject.

Editor Dawson News: Farmers
who desire to plant wheat should not
plant on rich land. Turn, subsoil,
harrow and plant on the highest, best
drained red or stiff land, without any
fertilizer, by Dec. LIST. In March top
dress with 200 pounds of guano, or
in April 100 pounds of top dressing
or IS pounds Of nitrate of soda.
About the same time it would be
well to harrow with a tooth or disc
harrow.
We have erred in planting rich
patches and manuring even these.
The above plan will insure profita-
BILE crop four years in five and pro-
vide healthful bread rather than
have to buy commercial -four made
from grain bulk heated, kiln
dried, bleached, dehearted, etc. Why
not as we progress hold to some of
the valuable primitive methods of
our fathers, especially along the line
of diversified farming? 1t would
tend to keep down the ever increas-
ing cost of living, which is bearing
down upon us with a vengeance.
Very respectfully, j. r. MERCER.

WHEN BILLY BUTTED IN
TWO LADIES OF THE CITY HAVE
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
They Took Refuge in Church to Es-
cape the Attentions of a Very
DemOnstratiVe PuPsuer,


When passing a home in the city
where Sir William Goat has his abode
and is generally much in evidence
two of the lady teachers in the Daw-
son public schools noticed what they
believed was disposition on his part
to presume on a too intimated ac-
quaintance, and took refuge in the
Methodist church to escape his atten-
tions.
But Billy was not to be shaken in
any such manner He took refuge
around the corner where he could not
be seen and when the ladies, think
ing the way was clear, ventured out
again he promptly renewed his dem
onstrations.
One of the ladies bravely conclud-
ed to take hold of the "horns of the
dilemma which she did, and led
Billy to a nearby residence, where he
was induced to forego further pur-
suit of the objects that had inspired
in him an active interest.

A CARD OF APPRECIATION.
Meeting of Primitive Association Was
a Great Success.

Great Success.
Editor Dawson News: We can but
feebly express our heartfelt gratitude
to the Giver of all good for His man
fold goodness bestowed upon us, as
we have been blessed exceeding
abundantly above all that we could
ask or think in the kindness and in

friends who assisted us in taking
care of our meeting. This was the
18th session of the Harmony Associa-
ton, and our correspondence has
been full with a goodly number Of

each day, with the best of order and
attention, and We do feel our minis

of the Lord with sweet messages of
love. Eight associations were repre-
sented. and we feel that we have
never had a more pleasant meeting.

STRANGE THINGS SOUTH
SOME CHICAGO VISITORS HAD
NEVER BEEN IN THIS SECTION.
One Was Disappointed When Invita-
ton to Visit a 'Ginnery'
Was Accepted.

Was Accepted.
The party of fourteen Chicagoans,
who came to Dawson Thursday in
charge of Mr.. w. A. Hamilton to visit
the pecan orchard of Lowrey Bros.
near here, left for the North Sun
day after spending three days in this
section.
1t was the first visit of several of
them to the South, and they found
many things here that was new to
them.
Some had never before seen cotton
and were ignorant of the manner in
which it was prepared for market,
and that fact was responsible for an
amusing incident when they were IN
vited to visit the "ginnery" on the
Lowrey farm. On arrival there the
hum of the gin saws doing their work
was the object of some interest, but
that something else was in the minds
of some of the visitors was made ap-
parent by the inquiry of one of the
ladies as to where the gin was. She
thought it was something to drink,
and was greatly surprised when in
formed what a "ginnery" is in the
South. That there was some disap-
pointment on the part of several was
apparent.
