For Garden Plants.

An occasional pail or two of sudsy water from the washtub or dishpan helps garden plants wonderfully. It must be pretty well cooled before pouring it on. In fact, there is one writer who declares that if American farmers and gardeners knew how to make an intelligent use of waste ma terial, they could save thousands of dollars year in commercial fertilizer and reap much greater profits from their crops. Of course, in small gar den the use of table waste is out of the question, though beet and carrot tops and the outside leaves of the let tuce heads could be buried in the soil without any trouble. Coffee grounds and tea leaves are good fertilizers for roses especially. Soot, too, and wood ashes are very fine.

GARDEN NEEDS MUCH WATER
Humble Tomato Can May Be Pressed Into Service If Hose
 Cannot Be Used.

Water is a great help in the garden, sometimes doubling the crop. If hose cannot be used, it will save much work to sink tomato can into the ground close beside some of the plants, few holes having been made in the bot toms of the cans. None of the water poured into these cans will be wasted. Without water, cultivation must be continuous, for it locks up the mois- ture already in the soil
 Of course the garden maker will want some berries, both strawberries and raspberries. Let him plant Ches- apeake, William Belt and Abingdon and he will have strawberries to cover the usual season. By using the new variety Superb he can also have straw berries in the fall Perhaps the new raspberry called St Regis is the best for the home garden. It will begin to fruit as early as any kind and there will be berries until the frost nips the blossoms This is an excellent berry, too, red and having fine flavor The dewberry is better than the blackberry for the garden. as it does not try to occupy all the surrounding country The fruit is practically the same, and the Austin is a first-class variety But if one must have the old-time black berry, let him choose the Wachusett, which is practically thornless.
 The best trees for the very small garden are those grown in dwarf form They may never grow any higher than ones head and yet the fruit is quite as large as that produced by standard trees and very fine. Most of the com mon fruit trees are now sold in dwarf forms; they are very easy to care for and occupy but little room. In many gardens they are trained on walls or the sides of buildings, where they are entirely out of the way.

CAUGHT ON THE CURB.

The Encouragement OF the rural
routes in Terrell county may save our
poverty-stricken government a few
dollars yearly, but it is not an i'm
provement of the service. The very
reverse is the case, and the rural
patrons are not at all pleased with
the change, and are keep wondering
when and where they will get their
mail.
The merchants had avery busy
day Saturday. There was a large
crowd in town, and cutie had the
experience of again beng in posses
sion of a few five and ten dollar bills,

than twelve months, and he and eY-
erybody else was subsequently in a
happy mood.

was observed as a holiday by the

WHAT HAS BECOME OF
DAWSON'S p. o. BUILDING
1t Seems to Have Been Put Into 1

THE GUNS ARE BEING OILED UP.
Dawson SpOrtsmen Are AnXiOusly
Awaiting the Open Season.

AS the fall season approaches the
sportsmen of Dawson are winding up
their fishing tackle and safely stor-
ing away their fishing poles, and are
getting ready for the fall shooting
season, and reports are too the effect
that game is going to be plentiful.
Just now they can snoot nothing
but squirrels, but the bird season is
approaching, and we learn that quail
will be plentiful.
Quail, commonly known as part
ridges, doves, wild turkey gobblers
and plovers may be killed from No
yembe 20 to March l.
WOodcOck, summer or wood duck,
December l to January l.
Deer, October 1 to December /.
Cat squirrels, August 1 to Jan. l.
Migratory ducks, September l to

The Georgia law gives it's sports
men the right to kill migratory
ducks from September l to April 10,
but the federal law says that the
open season shall only be from No
vember 20 to February 16.
However, as the federal game laws
conflict with the Georgia laws the
enforcement of Uncle Sans rules is
hardly expected.

GONE TO BUY CATTLE
THREE DAWSONIANS TO RAISE
CATTLE ON EXTENSIVE SCALE.
They VIII Purchase One Hundred
Head of Thoroughbred Stock for
Breeding Purposes.

They Win Purchase One Hundred
Head of Thoroughbred Stock for
Breeding Purposes.
Messrs. j. d. Weaver, w. j. Math-
is and T. b. Raines left Dawson last
night for points in West Virginia, In
diana and Ohio on a cattle hunting
tour.
While away they propose to buy
at least one hundred head of short
horn cattle with which to stock their
farms for the purpose of raising fine
breed cattle for sale and for beef
cattle.
Both Messrs. Mathis and Weaver
have each recently completed one
hundred-ton silos to carry feed for the
cattle during the winter, and each has
also recently built dipping watts for
the purpose of Kidding the cattle Of
ticks and other insects which affect
them. In other words, they are pre-
pairing to go into the business of rails
ing cattle in a modern and most APP
proved style, which is an indication
that they propose to make success
of their venture.
Cattle raising, hog raising, stock
raising and diversified farming with
business men in charge of the farms
mean a new era of prosperity to
Georgia and the South, and we are
glad to see such men as Messrs. Math-
is, Weaver and Raines take the lead
on this line in Terrell county. 1t will
mean success to the enterprise and
that others will follow their example.
All cotton means bankruptcy and
failure, while diversified farming
combined with cattle and stock rails
ing means independence and happi-
ness for the farmer, inasmuch that
it will decrease his cotton acreage
and increase the price of the staple
he should raise, and give him an all
the year round market for what he
produces.
The county commissioners should
encourage in some manner the build
ing of dipping watts in every militia
district, even if the board should
have to make an appropriation to
help build them for public use.

TWO MORE FIFTY
MILE RURAL ROUTES
Were Started Last Wednesday With
Carriers McCarty and Gammage
Temporarily Serving.

Two new fifty-mile routes were put
on from the Dawson postoffice on
Wednesday, September LIST. These
routes are known as d and e, and
they supersede route No. 4 from Daw-
son and routes Nos. l, and from
Bronwood, which were discontinued
with the beginning of the new fifty
mile routes. This change discOntin-
ues every rural route from Bron-
wood and reduces the number of
routes from the Dawson office from
eight to seven. Carrier Willie P Nc
Carly, who served route No. 4, has
and is serving route &. Carrier Geo.
NJ. Gammage, who carried route No.
l from Bronwood, has been appoint
ed to temporarily serve route e. Car
riers Frank EVerette, Fred Stewart
and Fred Lassiter are temporarily
serving routes "A, B and C, which
were established August End. Regu-
lar appointments for the five fifty
mile routes will be made as soon as
an eligible list is created from the
civil service examination held at the
court house on August 28th, which
will require about 60 days from the
date of the examination.
Carriers John C. Tedder and Joe
lR. Heidi are serving the new num-
bered routes one and two as perma-
nent carriers, and are not required
to take a new examination.
