FOR DICKSON.

The year Just closed was one ol
the most prosperous, in many re-
spects, ever experienced by the
people OF Dickson. The merchants

ness, and most Of them have the
happy satisfaction OF having their
profit account show larger than any
previous years business.
The banking business, with OUT
local banks, has experienced
healthy growth during 1913.
The church and religious growth
Of Dickson for 1913 was very graft
Tying to all christian workers, as
the various churches last year EN-
ioyed having many members added
to the chuNh. and were blessed
with several marvellous spiritual
revivals.
During 1913 the material and
enterprising growth Of Dickson was
very satisfactory. Last summer .
new modern $4,000 public school
building was completed, and for
the first time, this fall, in the his.
tory OF our town, our children en-
ioyed every modern advantage Of
an up.to.date progressive public
high school
During the past year our city
authorities purchased Payne's
Spring, and completed work on
pipe line, so that the abundant
amount OF pure water from this
large spring could be conveyed in
to our reservoir by gravitation.
This great step forward in progress.
insures our town ample water for
many years TO come.
During 1913 a handsome and
commodious new hotel was erected
which would be credit and an
nonor 10 CITY many times larger
than Dickson.
Several OF our enterprising citi-
xens banded together and built one
Of ths most up-to-date and sanitary
canning factory Of the south.
"a long III need was realized in
1918 when several of our wide
awake business men installed
modern steam laundry in our town.
During 1913 the NJ. +. Church,
South, completed the concrete
foundation Tor large brick church
edifice. which they expect to com
plete this coming year.
Many beautiful residences were
bnilt in every section Of our thriv.
ing and prosperous little city.
