CELEBRATED HER
TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY
Miss Dorothy Dozier Entertained Six
teen Little Girl Friends.

Miss Dorothy Dozier celebrated
her twelfth natal anniversary Tues
day afternoon by entertaining six
teen little girls at her home. As spe-
cial honor guest Miss Frances Melton
of Citra, Fla, cousin of the little
hostess, was present, and number
of little girls of her age were invited.
On arriving they were served with
punch by Mrs. George Dozier and
Mrs. W. H. Locke, after which they
engaged in various games on the
porch. Later they were led to the
diningroom, which was very attract
i've in yellow. Many shasta daisies,
which are Miss Dorothy's birth flow
err, were used, and each guest was
given one as a souvenir. At each end
of the table, one for Miss Dorothy
and one for Miss Frances, was a
large cake embossed in yellow, while
vase of roses was used as central
decoration. Each guest cut the cake,
but as luck would have it no one cut
the dime or ring.
An ice course was served by Mes
danes Dozier, Locke and McNulty.
Miss Dorothy was the recipient OF
many pretty gifts. At late hour
the little folks departed, wishing the
hostess many happy returns of the
day.

DAWSON NATIONAL BANK
SHOWS INTERESTING FILM
GALL ABOARD THE MAGIC CAR.
PET" AT PALACE THEATRE.
ENTERTAINING TRIP.

The Dawson National Bank is
showing at the Palace Theatre this
week the American Bankers Associ-
alton film, "All Aboard the Magic
Carpet" which is being circulated
from town to town advertising the
advantages of travellers checks. This
is an interesting little romance. A
wealthy father travelling with his
daughter meets young man who
becomes very much interested in the
girl. Soon the old gentleman has oc-
casion to need funds and offers his
personal check, which is refused. The
young man, standing near and see
ing the old gentleman's embarrass-
ment, comes forward and offers the
loan of one of the A. B. A. checks,
which is readily accepted. This is
something new to the old gentleman,
and he must be told where to pro-
cure such checks. They tour on; the
young man follows them from place
to place throughout the West, and
then on to New York city.
Many beautiful scenes are shown,
everything of Importance in the West
and Broadway and Wall street, New
York. Finally when the party ar
rives at the Bankers Trust Co. in
New York to have refunded the
checks not used they meet the presi-
dent of the Trust Company, who
conducts them through every depart
ment of the bank This is the Sec
ond largest bank in the country.
This is an interesting film to those
who have never taken the trip. Go
out and see it.
