CREOSOTE COST The
CITY MUCH MONEY
FORCE OF HANDS AND GAS EN-.
CINE BUSY A WEEK GET
TING WELL IN SHAPE.

A force of hands and a gasoline
engine were kept busy all of last
week pumping water and cleaning
out the well which was creosoted by
some fellow who thought he was 60
ing to put the well out of commits
sion. Besides the creosote a piece of
steel two or three inches in diameter
and a battery cell were among
the articles gotten from the casing
in the well.
The act of the miscreant cost the
city nearly one hundred dollars, and
what satisfaction the perpetrator. of
the deed got out of his cowardly act
is a mystery to many.
The well has been thoroughly
cleaned out, and the water is now in
good condition, and no one is hurt
except the finances of the city, which
must be kept replenished by the tax
payers, and if the man who put the
creosote in the well even pays street
taxes the money spent comes indi-
rectly out of him.

new FALL GOODS
ARE ARRIVING DAILY
DAWSON MERCHANTS ARE EX-
PECTING BIGGEST TRADE
IN MANY YEARS.

The merchants of Dawson are
daily receiving their lines of fall and
winter goods, and are busily engaged
in opening them up to be in readi-
ness for the fall trade.
That the business men of Dawson
are expecting the best fall business
this year that they have had in sew
eral years is evidenced by the vol
umes of high-class goods they are re-
ceiving from the markets, and that
they will not be disappointed is al
most foregone conclusion, because
since the panic of 1914 caused by the
outbreak of the European war the
people have been staying close to the
shore, and buying as little outside of
the actual necessities of life as pos
sible, and some of them have even
been foregoing many of the necessi-
ties, and for this reason and on ac-
count of the high price of cotton and
the prospects of fair crop everyone
will feel that they can afford to buy
what necessities they need and some
of the Injuries.
The merchants and business men
are therefore, with the farmer, fac
ing the approaching fall season with
smile of confidence on their faces,
and a live, humming, prosperous fall
may reasonably be expected.

who took the recent examination
There were twenty white applicants
who took the examination and SO col

The superintendent finds manv
things to amuse him in the answers
to the several questions sent out by
the state superintendent. One thing
that impressed him was two papers of
the colored teachers that were iden-
teal in phraseology, spelling and
punctuation, in fact both of them
had the simple word "too" spelled
incorrectly in the same sentence and
showed such evidence of copying that
the superintendent did not grade
them at all. One of the colored APP

tanning the verb "bear" wrote "the
Bear is white" Another in writing
a sentence containing the word ode

SLEEPY NEGRO AND BLIND
MULE FALL IN ROSS CREEK
The Mule Was Badly Injured and the
Negro Was Walked Up.

A blind mule driven by a sleepy
negro fell in Ross creek, east of
Dawson, Friday while on their way
to the city. The negro could give
no intelligent idea just how the acct
dent happened, but it is presumed
that he was doing as the mule was
ambling its way to town, and when
the team struck the turnpike the
mule walked off into the creek in
stead of crossing the bridge. As a
result of the accident the wagon was
badly broken, the mule seriously in
jured and the negro was rudely
awakened from its slumbers.
