DAWSON COTTON OIL
co. SHUTS DOWN
Will Not Crush Any More Seed Until
After Christmas. Waiting Rise
in Price of the Product.

The Dawson Cotton Oil Company
have closed down their mill for the
present, and the management say
they will not crush any more seed
until after Christmas.
The reason given by the manage
ment for closing their mill is that
they are waiting for the price of the
cotton seed product to rise, claiming
that the price of the seed is too high
for the present price of the product
They are still buying seed, however,
in order to have a supply when the
mill again begins operations.
The prices offered for cotton seed
today by the mills is $40. Seed sold
last week as high as S45.

Y. M. C. A. MOVEMENT
BEEN POSTPONED
Tuesday Night 1t Was Decided That
on Account of Lack of Interest
Success Was Doubtful.

A meeting of the promoters of the
movement to organize a Young Men S
Christian Association in Dawson was
held in the council chamber Tuesday
night. The attendance at the meet
ing was slim, and it was decided by
those present that on account of the
lack of interest in the movement on
the part of the people the success
of the organization would be doubt
full, and it was agreed to abandon
plans for such an organization at
present. On account Of financial con-
ditions enough subscriptions could
not be secured to guarantee the per-
manency of the organization, and it
was thought best to postpone its or
ganization until its success could be
more definitely assured.

PIECES OF SLATE FELL
FROM COURT HOUSE STEEPLE
Dropped on Steps Facing Lee Street,
But No Damage Was Done.

A few days ago several pieces OF
slate fell from the court house stee-
pie, striking the steps facing Lee
street with TERRIFIC force, and were
shattered into numberless pieces.
Fortunately no one was standing
on the steps, and no damage was
done. If the slate had fallen on a
person he would have been instantly
killed, and the county would have
been liable for a heavy damage suit.
The county commissioners should
take immediate steps to prevent more
pieces falling.
