To the Catalogue House Customers.
Did it ever strike you how old the
old town would seem without gro
Gerry sores or dry goods stores or
hardware stores or shoe stores. If
every one did all of their trading ir
those lines with some eastern mail
order house? asks the Dubuque Tele-
graph Herald. And did it ever strike
you how real estate in the town
would decrease in value if those con-
ditions prevailed? You argue that
those conditions will never obtain.
that there will always be enough
people who will do their trading
with home merchants to keep at least
some of them going. The argumen.
is a weak one, for all of your neigh
bors have the same rights you have
and might profit CD by your exam
pie, do their trading out Of town, too.
Then again, if all of those mercantile
establishments should go out of
business who would pay the rentals
on the buildings and, more pertinent
still, who would bear the additional
burden of taxation? Think of il,
you individuals who are in the habit'
of sending out of town when you see
merchandise priced in catalogue for
less than you know the actual cost of
production to be for the standard ar
ticle. Gold dollars can't be sold for
less than one hundred cents, except
as bait to catch you on something
else.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
Next Friday is the Day for Wearing
of the Green.

A humorist once rose when the
matter of the July Fourth appropri-
alton was being discussed in a GER
tain city, and moved that the money
be spent instead on March II. He
thought that st. Patrick's day elicit
ed more real manifestations of en-
thusiasm.
Other heroes of the Christian reli-
gion are recalled by professionals
anthems, sermons, and rituals. St.
Patrick is remembered in that way
too. But in the popular mind he
stands chiefly for certain festive
spirit of good humor and warm
friendliness. He is recalled not so
much for the 365 churches he
founded and $4,000 converts baptiz-
ed with his own hands, as for the no.
ton of his genial personality handed
down from the dim vistas of old his
tory.
The traditional figure of Uncle
Sam is by common consent the COM
posite photograph of American tenn
permanent. Similarly St. Patrick is
regarded as kind of impersonation
and incarnation of the Irish race. 1t
is kindly figure. Many persons wear
the green March II who claim no
trace of Celtic blood. They merely
cherish a friendly feeling for a
strain of the American melting pot
that is notable for the warmth and
ardor of its temperament.
Many of the Irish people have
themselves little notion of the digni-
| ty of their own heritage. In early
history the race was noted for its
versatile gifts of poetry, art, music,
oratory and chivalry. Economic and
political misfortunes and oppression
reduced the "old sod" to poverty. The
descendants of kings and chieftains
and missionaries were exiled by fam
inc to come over here and build our
railroads.
The so called Gaelic revival is now
uncovering the treasures of antiqui-
| ty, and making the Irish people ia.
miliar with their own stock and its
achievements. In the land of their
adoption, the sons of st. Patrick are
showing racial traits of energy and
gift for politics and business. And
they still display those fervent quail
ties of mind and heart that charac-
terize their favorite saint.

In order to meet the growing de

improvements will be made in Macs

the capacity of his shop, he will ad
one CT the most up to date stearI
ovens on the market, also several
other sanitary and labor saving ma
chimes will be added. IN order TO have
this done by the most up-to-date me-
thods, Mr.. MacReynolds has engag-
ed Mr.. H. S. Robinson of Minneapolis
to take charge of the work, and 70

expects to bring his family soon to

THE PAPER SHORTAGE.

Newspapers, printing houses of all
kinds and others dealing in or using
paper in any considerable quantities
have recently been brought to a reali-
cation that the European war is af-
| fecting their business and in no small
way. The prices of paper have
steadily advanced in recent months
and many are still at loss to under
stand the cause, as it is claimed by
all American mills they are working
to their capacities.
The explanation made bv the man
| CfaGturers and others who under
stand the situation is that before the
war America secured a considera bic
part of its paper from Germany and
Germany secured from Russia the
timber from which to manufacture
the paper. With the outbreak of the
war, Germany's timber supply was
shut off, consequently no more pap
er could be had from there.
! American manufacturers secured
most of their wood from which to
manufacture pulp from Canada,
England is now taking all of Can
ada's supply so America is shut off
from its greatest source of timber
supply.
The available surplus of paper and
paper materials in European countries
having been exhausted, those coun-
tries have called on America to sup
ply them and now it is claimed by
the manufacturers that those de-
mands are several times the capacity
of the American mills.
The shortage of acids and other
materials used in the manufacture of
paper, things that originally came
from Germany is said to be another
thing responsible for the raise in pri-
ces.
| From all Of this it appears Amer
lean inventive genius must provide
other means of manufacture, or that
there must be curtailment in the
wasteful use of paper for which the
American people are noted.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS
BY JUDGE GEORGE
HIS ADDRESS AT GRADUATING
EXERCISES OF SCHOOL PLEAS
LARGE AUDIENCE.

The graduating exercises of the
Dawson public schools occurred in
the auditorium Friday night, follow
ing the class day exercises Friday
morning.
At the class day exercises a well
arranged and appropriate program
was rendered. The efforts of the
young graduates showed that they
had excellent training, and reflected
credit upon the school as well as
themselves.
There were seven boys and one
girl in the graduating class, Edgar
Chambless, J. B. Petty, A. j. Baldwin,
Franklin Stapleton, Ernest King, Ho-
mer Patterson, Walter Mercer and
Virginia Farrar. These young people
constituted the second class that has
graduated since the Inauguration of
the eleventh grade. The addition of
this grade has made a great improve
ment in the standing of the school,
and when a boy or girl completes
the course now prescribed by the
school they are not only fitted to en-
ter any college without examination,
but if they do not choose college
career they are fitted for the duties
of life.
The exercises at night were opened
with an invocation by Rev. J. M. Out
er which was followed by an Anvil
Chorus by the boys of the high school
and an instrumental solo by Miss
GSlementine Marlin, after which Hon.
M. j. Yeomans in a few appropriate
and well chosen words introduced the
speaker of the evening, Hon. Walter

One of the most interesting social
events of the season was the enter

Thursday evening for their daughter,

The guests were entertained on
the porch, using six tables, at which
various games were played. The
walls were banked with Southern
smilax, bamboo and bird of paradise,
and the colonial columns entwined
with bamboo and pink ribbons, thus
carrying out the class of pink and
green. The reception hall was beau
tifully decorated with many vases of
white and pink carnations. An es-
pecially enjoyable feature was music
rendered by Miss Jessie Ferguson
and others. At a late hour dainty
refreshments, consisting of cake and
cream and carrying out the color mo-
tiff, were served. Twenty-six guests,
including the school faculty, were in
vited. Among the out-of-town guests

Was One of Dawson's Oldest and
Most Respected Citizens.
Mr.. w. P. Macarthur died suddenly
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. j.
D. Tweedy, Wednesday morning
from acute Indigestion.
While Nh. Macarthur had been
complaining for several days he was
not confined to his bed, and no par
ticular alarm was felt about his con-
dition.e He was active all day Tues
day, looking after some work in his
garden. Tuesday night, however, he
was taken suddenly i'll, and physi-
clan was summoned, but he survived
only few hours.
Mr.. Macarthur had reached the ripe
old age of 80 years, and there was
no better known or more highly re-
spected citizen of Dawson. He was
consistent member of the Baptist
church, and was recognized as a man
of the highest integrity. The funeral
services were conducted at Cedar
Hill cemetery Thursday afternoon by
Rev. M. B. L. Binion, after which the
remains were lowered to their final
resting place.
Mr.. Macarthur is survived by his
wife and three daughters, Mrs. j. D..
Tweedy of Dawson, Mrs. H. R. Nc
Lendon of Louisville, KY, and Mrs.
D. A. Fain of Doerun, and two sons,

choosing a commencement speaker
it had, as usual, secured the best.
This statement prepared the au-
dience for the treat that was in store
for them, but the address of the dis
tinguished visitor greatly exceeded
their expectations. Judge George
selected as his theme the fundament-
ais of education and the destiny of
the men of America. His address
was deep, thoughtful and resource
full, and out of the ordinary. He
dwelt literally upon the political is
sues confronting this country, with
out the hint of partisanship. In fact,
the speech was so full of vital ques-
tions, which he discussed in states
manlike manner, that had he chosen
to have done so and the occasion had
been propitious he could with a lit
tie establishment have made it tell
ing keynote speech in a political cam
paign, but he avoided all tendencies
toward the political and built his ad-
dress into one of the ablest educa-
tional efforts ever delivered in Daw-
son. In fact, the people of Dawson
were charmed with the distinguished
Dooly county jurist, and are enthusl-
astic in their praise of him.
After the address the exercises
closed with songs by the high school
girls and boys and the delivery of the
diplomas to the graduating class and
a medal to Master Ralph Hill for the
best average in history of any pupil
of the seventh grade. Judge Ed
wards performed this duty in his US
ual happy style.

have been scraped and leveled and
the entire grandstand has been torn
down and rebuilt with comfortable
seats that will accommodate at least
a thousand people, Besides this the
seating capacity for the colored peo-

cided that after June goth no player
is to-take part in a game unless he has
been employed and reported to the
respective club at least three days
before participation in his first game.
1t was further agreed that informa-
ton regarding salaries and such mat
tiers should be freely interchanged
between the managers at all times,
and that the services of no player
formerly in the circuit are to be en-
gagged until such player has secured
and can present his formal release
from his former employer.
Umpires are to be selected by the
managers for each series, and the
cost of umpiring is to be shared
equally by the two opposing teams.
In the matter of railway mileage
Dawson fares a little worse than the
other teams, this city travelling 948
miles, Cordele 1852, Fitzgerald S44
and Montezuma 835 miles. The cir
cult has been dubbed '"The Big -Four
Circuit" and newspapers have, al
ready adopted that name.

The directors of the Dawson team
have not made public the personnel
of the club, except the manager. They
state, however, that in the opening
game they will be able to put out a
team so evenly balanced that it will
be sure to give an account of itself
and maintain the reputation Dawson
has won among the lovers of the ma
