The Event Of
the Season
The Beach Dramatic Club to
Make a Big Hit on Saturday
Evening.-Everything is in
Readiness for the Grand
Opening of Opera House,
Season 1915.1916.

The Beach Dramatic club
has been busy this week pre-
pairing for the big presentation
of "Thelma' a society drama
in five acts, which will be Of
fered to the Beach theatre go
ers on Saturday evening.
The director, H. Edward
Dorval, states that he has a
star cast and is elated with the
fine showing that the men,
bers of the present company
are making. Never has there
been a play given on the local
stage that will compare with
the presentation of Thelma by
the local thespians. The seem
ic effects and stage settings
will be the best shown in this
city; every little bit of busi-
ness, whether electrical or
mechanical, will be put into
action as the play demands it.
The scenery, which is being
painted by the Dorval Scenic
Co., is creating wonderful
comment. The fancy front
specially drop is indeed a
piece of art and the business
boosters are boosting the
work. Mr.. Victor Olson, the
artist who has charge of the
scenic work, is a master of the
art and is without doubt one
of the best artists in the busi-
ness today. The manager of
the opera house was very for
tunate in securing such a
competent hrm to renovate
the opera house.. and this will
without doubt be a big boost
for the patronage Of the Beach
opera.
The personnel of the cast
taking part in the play Satur-
day is headed by Mrs. Jefer-
son, who needs no introduce
ton as a popular thespian, as
she has on many occasions de-
lighted the Beach playgoers
with her artistic work. MIR.
and Mrs. Blackburn, who
have already received many
fine criticisms, will again fav-
or the club with their cooper
alton. Messrs Canty and
Kastien will also appear to
great advantage in this pro-
duction. Miss Paulson, an
other popular directress of To-
cal presentations, will imper-
senate a difficult character
part. Miss DeMerse will per
sonify another important part
in the cast and will without
win her share of we'll merited
approval.
There is a great surprise in
store for those who will attend
this performance and the
Dramatic club hope to play to
q packed house, as this will be
the finest theatrical treat ev-
er offered on the local stage.
Reserve your seats early and
avoid disappointment.
A big dance will be given
following the production.

The suggestion made last
week by the Chronicle that the
farmers in Northern Golden
Valley start a movement to
promote a railroad for the
north country has already met!
a very ready response from
people who are interested in
that section.
Among the number of farm
ers who have expressed their
interest in a proposed line to
the northern section of Cold

one Of the prominent farmers
in the locality tributary to
,Skaar. In part he has said:
in behalf of most of the
farmers in this locality | wish
to say that you will find them
ready to help and boost this
proposition if it can be started
and headed by some one who
is interested and in earnest
enough to carry the thing to
a finish"
LII. Claggett of this city is
another interested business
man who has considerable
land in this section and who is
willing to help in the promo
ton of a new line. In COM
menting upon the proposition
he expresses the sentiment of
several real estate men who
own large tracts of land in the
northern Golden Valley:
"Yes, | am greatly interest
ed in a railroad through the
upper Golden Valley, as it
would mean at least ten dol
lars an acre increase in value
to every farmer and land own
er in that territory.
During the past month
have received letters from the
following large owners Of

Three-Run Lead.

AMERICUS, Aug. 12.-Dawson
showed her grit and wonderful fight
ing spirit when she came from be-
hind here this afternoon and beat
Montezuma by the score of six to
three.
The grounds were wet and slippery
and part of the game was played in a
drizzling rain, it being necessary at
one time to call time until the rain
subsidized.
Davis was opposed by Foster, and
because of the wet ball both had
trouble in controlling it. They had
magnificent support in spite of the
wet grounds, only one bobble being
recorded against each team.
In the first inning Wicker, the
first man up, singled. He went to
second on a sacrifice by Moore. Nc
Duff went out second to first, Wicker
going to third. Chancey was walked.

had the bases drunk and no one down
in the sixth.
In the second Williams, first up,
singled. Lowe famed. On the hit
and run Davis poled one over the
center field fence for a homer. The
game rocked along three to two in
favor of MonteZuma till the last of

The baseball season in Dawson for
the year 1915 has become history
the BOYS have all gone to their re-
spective homes, leaving behind them
a melancholy lonesomeness and in
.tsome" hearts an aching void. We
miss their smiling faces, their ring
ing laughter and the atmosphere OF
10Y and good feeling that they ex-
hailed. but the fans of Dawson, male
and female, old and young, still wear
a smile and are glad, for the same
bovs that have gone from us, by
their pluck and fight, won the state
amateur championship for Dawson
We have played fifty-seven games
this year. OF that number 81 were
won. seventeen lost and three tied.
That is a remarkable record, consid-
ering the teams that we have played.
We met Montezuma, Fitzgerald, Eu-
faula. Ala, Hawkinsville, Cochran,
Columbus and Americas, and they all
had exceptionally fast and hard-work-
ing teams. The first named town
during the last series of ten games,
had the pick of the champions of the
Sally League, viz, Columbus and Ma
con. with men such as Chancey, Red
ding. Basham, Tommy Thompson,
Foster and ICY" Williams. All of
these men have won fame in one
league or another, and still We meat
them in the ten game series by hard,
persistent fighting.
Such pitchers as Cy Williams Of
Atlanta, Redding of Columbus, Fos-
ter of Macon, Walden of Brunswick,
have failed to stop the onslaught OF
the local sluggers in their march to
victory.
Georgia, and especially South
a Georgia, has never before seen such
fast amateur ball. From the opin-
ions of two managers from the Sally
League. amateur ball was as fast as
the South Atlantic and even faster
than the Flag league. Because of
this fact we are indeed proud OF our
success, and we thank the boys VINO
have stuck to us in the thick of the
fight, who got the Dawson spirit
of loyalty and fair dealing, but an
eager and never-give-up spirit, that
won for them and Dawson the cham
pionship of the state.
The Secret of Our Base Ball Success.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1915-08-17
Locals Take First Five and the Ninth Games Made
Most Remarkable Record During the Season

The question naturally arises IN
the mind of the loyal fan why were
we so successful this year-hoW did
we beat such a team as the bunch
from MonteZuma?
In the first place, the populace OF
Dawson had their hearts with the
team. and the team knew it. The
fans were loyal, they were kind and
courteous to the players on all occa-
sions. and they treated the base ball
players as gentlemen, not as 'bumS'
The members of the team were not
long in seeing this; they quickly felt
the air of kind, courteous and warm
hearted fellowship, and when they
went on the ball fields to represent
Dawson and their friends they gave
their best The writer had the prlVl-
lege of seeing every game played, OF
mixing with the players, OF being
with them in the thick of the battles,
and not once did they give up; in
stead they were in the game win, they
felt themselves Dawsonians, and they
fought for us. 1t is true that they
lost some games, but it was MT De
cause they were not giving their pest.
And they did this not because OF the
money alone, but because they nau
our interests at heart.
In the second place, we were well
organized. We had honest, loyal
and courteous gentlemen, at the same
time quick and keen business men,
at the head, and the writer, in be-
half of the fans, thanks Mr. A. j. Hill
AS president, Mr.. J. D. Weaver as
vice-president. Mr.. A. l.. McLendon
as secretary-treasurer and MeSsrs.
Carver, Cooke and Dozier as direct
ors for their untiring and untalllng
efforts in so ably directing the base
ball association. Possibly they made
some mistakes, but they made them
honestly and with the best interests
of the team at heart.
Last. but not least, the personnel
of our team was the best. They did
not do one thing to blacken or be-
smear the name of Dawson. And
they knew and played the game.
Mr.. Colby as manager, although he
did not play many games, proved
his worth by his keen observation,
his knowledge of baseball and the
fight that he instilled into the play
ers.
Our catching department was com
nlete with J. H. Harper and Ham
Reynolds. Harper. although young
ster. was as cool and deliberate as
an old head. He was in the game all
the time. and we have never before
seen the nerve displayed by him. 1t

hitter, but his pegging, his judgment

MAN MARRIES HIS Wife
DAWSON LADY FIGURES IN AN
UNUSUAL ROMANCE.
Couple Were Childhood Sweethearts
i'm Poland, Were Married in GeOr-
gia and Later Divorced.

in Poland, Were Married in Geor-
gia and Later Divorced.
Miss Freida Eisman, daughter of
Mr. j. Eisman, of this city, was unit
ed in marriage to DR.. Samuel
Stamper at Albany Sunday by Rabbi
Laundon.
This marriage was another chap
ter in a very unusual romance, in
which the same man has twice led
the same woman to the marriage al
tar.
The romance began in Poland
when the pair were children at
school. Mr.. Eisman moved to Amer
lea with his family, separating the
youthful lovers, and located in
Brooklyn. A few years afterwards
the family of the boy followed their
friends to the land Of the free and
the acquaintance was renewed, and
ripened into love and matrimony,
which event occurred in Macon after
Mr.. Eisman had moved his family to
Georgia. The young couple went to
Atlanta to make their home and lived
/ happily for awhile, when discord
arose between them and the young
wife sued for divorce, which was
granted, restoring her maiden name
and removing all disabilities, which
left her free to choose her way
through life. The court at the same
time granted the young husband
divorce, but refused to remove his
disa bilities, and he could not contract
new alliance. They remained sep
arate for a few years, when they
commenced exchanging letters, which
| led to the erstwhile husband seeking
and receiving forgiveness from his
former wife and gaining her consent
to remarry him. DR.. Stamper came
to Dawson Friday and sought the
counsel of Ordinary HOyl, who in
| formed him that under the law the
| former wife was free to marry whom
| she chose, but that as his disabilities
/ had not been removed he could mar
ry no one but her. DR.. Stamper in
! formed the ordinary that he desired
only to marry his wife and would do
so if he could secure the necessary
Authority. The marriage license was
promptly issued and the couple went
to Albany to again become legally
man and wife and to begin all over
their interrupted romance. DR..
Stamper i a student in the At
lanta Medical College, and will grad
uate as a physician in few months.
His wife will remain in Dawson with
her parents until her husband COM
pletes his studies, when she will again
join him and share his career.
Theirs was indeed a strange and
unusual romance, and adds strength
to the old adage that the course
of true love never did run smoath."
