In 1857 the log building was aban-

DAWSON WOMEN
PLAY A PART

On the broad basis that the hearth
stone is the fundation wherein the
state is built, American women have
from the first years of colonial times
all along down through the history
of our wonderful country been the
companions of their fathers and aus
bands in the trials and hardships of
war, as well as in the piping times
of peace, doing her part as nobly as
man, for truly the home has been
the beacon light to guide America in
her upward and onward march to-
wards the highest ideals of Christian
citizenship. Woman has given the
trend to national life by implanting
the character of aspiration in the
home circle which afterwards mani
tested itself in active manhood out on
the worlds broad field of battle. This
is the supreme duty that she has per-
formed for society, and she knows
no better way to make the nation
noble and enduring. Quietly and pa

zens have greatly improved their
property, either by rebuilding or re-
modelling and this improvement is
constantly going on, greatly to the
advantage of the city's appearance.
Modern building, with well kept
flower gardens and lawns, are sure
to impress the stranger who comes
this way. But four walls do not, in
the highest and best sense, make a
home, the charming family and social
life of Dawson is the natural result,
in culture and refinement of inher-
tied and cultivated habits of thought
and action along the best lines. The
problems of her home and community
have kept Dawson women so busy
they have had little time or inclina-
ton to step beyond the bounds into
that realm where votes for women"
is the slogan. Let it bs understood,
however, that she is wide awake to
all the world movements that mean
the uplift of humanity. 1t is her
policy to go after the voter rather
than the vote, but militant methods
are not her weapons of warfare.
In many of the movements for the
public good the women in the homes
of Dawson have been ''the power be-
behind the throne" to carry them for
ward to successful fruition. The
twentieth century woman is not con-
tent that her own home shall be
kept pure and sweet, but she would
look beyond her pleasant environ
ment to her less fortunate sisters to
lend a hand if needs be to those hard
pressed by the battles of everyday
life. The many organizations with
which the home-makers of Dawson
are identified are proof conclusive

All will be convinced of the accu-
racy of the following data concerning
the Baptist church when we state
that it was furnished by Mrs. B. H.
Hood, to whom we are greatly in
debted for the courtesy.
Doubtless it would be interesting
to the congregation of the First Bap-
fist church of Dawson could they step
back fifty years and worship with the
little band of Baptists in the old
mother church then known as the
Friendship church. The old building
is now standing two and half miles
east of Dawson, near the Central rail-
road, and was used as barn by Will
liam Jennings. later by NJ. r. Jen-
nings.
The Friendship Baptist church met
in conference October 9Th, 1849, and
adopted the government of the Mis-
sionary Baptists. The first conference
ever held as missionary church was
the first Saturday in November, 1849.

tiently she has gone about her task
inspired by the one thought of serv-
ice for those she loves. This has
been and is today her mission and
her work to render sweet and strong
the human relations which constitute
family life What the world knows
of her is but a suggestion of the real
results of her achievements. Nothing
has so touched and bettered human
life as these homes of our land, the
best Notifications of liberty and en-
lightenment.
Consecrated to this cause, content
thus to live out her days, woman
yields a scepter of marvellous power
over the wide empire of human
hearts. A civilization based on any
lower standard of home life will not
long endure. What has been said OF
the woman of the nation implies, of
course, what may be said of the wom-
en- of Dawson.
One of the first questions of i'm
portance to one seeking new envi-
ronment is what kind of homes, what
kind Of society? and to this we say
with pardonable pride, Dawson is
abundantly able to give a sattsfac-
tory answer. No town of the state
presents better opportunities for
those seeking such investment. Our
people are thoroughly imbued with
the idea that whatever tends to i'm
prove the homes tends to make US all
better citizens, and the Improvements
are due to the industry and enterprise
of progressive men and women who
are untiring in their efforts to adj
vance the development of the city.

No greater monument to the intel
ligence, integrity and progressiveness
of Dawson is to be seen than the
large and handsome church buildings
attractiveiy located in we'll kept
lawns. shaded by beautiful trees.
Every community that is really wide
awake is awake to its own moral ad-
vancement, the broadening and deep
ening of the lives of it's people along
lines that make them better worth
the living. A careful retrospect of
the history of the Dawson churches
shows a steady march onward and
upward into the light of greater
civilization ever striving for the bet
terment of humanity. With the
church life of the community is close
ly woven all that is worth while in
the splendid material progress of this
highly favored section. Without the
wise forethought, judgment and
counsel of those whose names have
been, through all the years, closely
linked with the churches, there could
not have been wrought out the peace
full and orderly conditions to which
Dawson owes her magnificent growth.
On the farm now owned by Mr.. E.
A. Breedlove was organized the first
