A CONVINCING
OBJECT LESSON
Dawson Firm Given Real Demon
stratiOn That 1t Pays to Adver-
tise in Dawson News.

A typographical error in The Daw-
son News advertising columns last
week, while regretted by this paper,
served as a convincing argument that
people read The News advertise
ments, and that it pays to advertise
in these columns.
In setting the price list in the ad
of Martin & Bridges last week the
printer made this firm offer twenty
five pounds of granulated sugar for
S1.0O, instead of fourteen pounds, as
written by the firm. The ink had
not dried on the paper before the
firm began getting telephone orders
and call orders for sugar; in fact,
they were fairly swamped with Or
ders. Orders came in from all sec
tions of Terrell county, and from
Dougherty, Randolph, Webster, Cal
houn and Lee counties. II Martin
e Bridges could have afforded to Hi
the orders at the price quoted their
stock of sugar would not have lasted
until night of publication day. AS II
was, they sold quantities OF sugar
at IA pounds for a dollars, which was
a cheap price for the quality or the
sugar offered, and if these up-to-date
ever had any doubt that
pays this doubt mas dis

New Departures Inaugurated by Him
Attract Attention.

The following from the current is
sue of the Wesleyan Christian Advo-
cate about the work that is being
done by DR.. T. D. Ellis, the presiding
elder of this district, will be perused
with interest by readers OF The

Last year he planned for the fifth
Sunday and Saturdays before meet
ing both agricultural and religious.
Much ado was made over these meet
ings, and the presiding elder had
some rather severe criticisms on ac-
count of this departure. We attend
ed one of the meetings and saw not
the slightest thing that could be with
any sort of fairness objected to.
This year DR.. Ellis has inaugural
ed a new departure. He is having
throughout thedistrict an Interchange
of his preachers, reaching every
church with the pastors who are DIS
cussing such topics as missions, edu-
cation, evangelism and llberality.
The meetings so far held from which
we have heard justify the wisdom
of the plan. In two weeks the entire
district will be covered by these meet
ings. VIE shall be greatly surprised
if out of these gatherings OF the peo-
pie and the discussions of the pas
tors there does not come immediate
and ultimate perceptible good. The
fact that the people are turning out
to these meetings is in itself hope
full indication 1t shows that the
people are wanting to hear about the
good things of the kingdom, and that
they are ready to respond to the
needs when these needs are properly
placed before thin

those who are not entitled to vote,
and prepare list of the qualified

large, which indicates that there is
considerable interest in the outcome
of the primary, the election promises
to be an unusually quiet one and the
prediction is freely made that the

suit of the election, and no one will
be in position to name the winner

THIRTY-THREE NEW MEMBERS
ADDED By BAPTISM AND
ELEVEN BY LETTER,

The evangelistical services at the
Baptist church which have been run
ming for two weeks were closed Sun
day night with a record-breaking at
tendance. The entire seating capaci-
ty of the church was utilized, and
chairs were stacked in the aisles. 1t
was decidedly the largest congrega-
ton ever assembled in the Baptist
church. All the services during the
entire two weeks were well attended
DR.. Weston Bruner, the evangelist
who did the preaching, has won the
friendship and admiration of every
one in Dawson who heard him
preach. His messages were simple,
clear and full of sympathy, but
showed deep research, as they were
trimming full of Biblical truth. Ev-
eryone who heard him was charmed
with him as a man and as a min

Mr.. NJ. J. Babbitt, the singer, or
ganized a splendid chorus with three
departments, the seniors, interme-
dates and juniors, and the singing
of this chorus, so well organized and
conducted, was one of the special
and attractive features of the meet
ings. Mr.. Babbitt made a most ia
vorable impression, both as direct
or and a soloist.
The membership of the church was
increased forty-four, the members re-
ceived by profession of faith rang
ing in age from about ten to seventy
years. There were thirty-three adj
ditions by baptism and eleven by let
ter.
The baptismal service will take
place Wednesday night, and if all of
the candidates are not baptised at
this time the remaining ones will be
baptized Sunday night.
