THE SOCIAL REALM

Americas, the guest of Miss Clemen-
tine Marlin, Misses Annie Laura and
Alice Price Davis, of Atlanta, and
Miss Claudine Kimbrough, of Macon.
The verandas were very inviting with
their decorations of asters, zinias and
marrigolds. These bright blossoms
were massed in pleasing effect about
the punch bowl on a table in shad
ed corner of the porch. Rock and
upjinks furnished much amusement,
the players being comfortably seated
at small tables in the open for the
interesting games. Tea and sand
wiches were served, the hostess being
assisted by the ladies in the home.
Miss Bell, who has been an admired
visitor to Dawson for several days, is
a cousin of Miss Saville, and the
Misses Davis were residents of Daw-
son until few years ago. Miss Kim
brough is also well-known here, hav-
ing since childhood made occasional
visits to Mrs. W. G. Paschal and 9TH

Ladies of the City Busy With Needles
Turning Out Hospital Supplies.
Considerable time and effort have
been expended by the local Red Cross
chapter in fitting up a work room,
where material will be stored for
turning out garments for hospital
supplies. Mrs. l. P. Cooke, who had
in hand the matter of planning, was
fortunate in securing the old library
room upstairs in the city hall There
are many reasons why this is an
especially desirable place for the wo-
men to assemble for doing the sew
ing. 1t is cool and comfortable the
greater part of the day, and is pri-
vate enough to prevent the work be-
ing hindered. Machines had been
placed and every thing was in readi-
ness for the opening yesterday.
Certain days will be given over to
the different organizations, so as 70
avoid confusion, and have lust
enough helpers at time to be easily
handled, Any lady in the county who
wishes to aid in the work will please
report to Mrs. Cooke for assignment.

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

The tenth birthday anniversary of
little Elizabeth Riordan was very
happily celebrated on Tuesday after
noon at the home of her parents or
Lee street. The large and well-kept
lawn was a beautiful setting for the
assembling of the dainty little maid
ems in airy summer frocks. Punch
was the refreshing drink served from
an alcove of Towering plants under
the trees. Various games furnished
merriment and gave zest to the en-
ioyment of the delicious cream and
cake served. The little lady in whose
honor the pretty affair was planned
received many tokens of esteem from
her little playmates in the way of
useful and beautiful gifts. About
twenty-five little girls shared the
pleasures of the afternoon.

DAWSON HAS NEVER
KNOWN THE BURR POWELLS
Petition in Divorce Suit Makes Men
ton of Having Lived Here.

An article which originally APP
peared in the Atlanta Georgian and
was reproduced in a number of state
papers says that Burr w. Powell fl
ed a petition for divorce against his
wife, Alva L. Powell, because her
cruel treatment and nagging DISPOSE
ton had almost made him physi-
cal wreck, and further alleges that
when the petitioner moved to D.aw-
son to work the town was not large
enough to suit his wife's tastes and
she left him and went to her home
in Girard, Ala. He also charges Mrs.
Powell with having " a mania for JOY
rides"
The Powells are unknown here, and
if they ever lived in Dawson no one
has been found who is aware of it.

Treasurer w .. Harmon of East chi
cage is having his troubles. Not APP
parently through amy fault Of his own
but through az crror that has been
made i'm the controllers office in figur-
ing the tax duplicates.
Tho ordinance which provides for the
levy fof 1917 says specifically that the
levy shall be sos aud this figure has
been published and sent out in various
ways to corporations and individuals
Yet the tax duplicates have been fig
ured on tin cbasis Of S2.o6 instead OIL
s2os. Recently statements of the taxes
assessed against the corporations have
been sent out to the various offices OH
these companies. These statements
specified the amounts that were due as
shown by the duplicates figured on the
basis of S2.o6
Yet the corporations have had knowl
edge of the ordinance which provides
for levy of S205 1n consequences,
Treasurer Harmon is receiving on every
mail a return of these statements with
the request that the tax statement be
corrected Tho treasurer is up against
H. Unless he has a certificate of error
from the controller. he cannot accept
any less than the tax duplicate calls for.
on the other hand he knows that the
levy rs s205 intead Of s2,06. II looks
as iC it were up to tho controller to
issue about 10000 certificates of error
in order To Justify Mr.. Harmon in ac-
cepting amy less amount than is called
fer by the statements which he sent out.
The following is the levy as tented

suing an order to-day, to destroy
Washington or any other Of our coastal
cities from the air in q single night

"No attack can be driven home to-
day on the European battle fronts"
said the speaker, without the assist.
snce OF the air service. We have
neither air planes, dirigibles, anti-air
craft guns. nor any other means of pre-
venting the destruction Of our great
coast cities.
THE airplane will be the cheapest
antidote for the submarine. The price
of a battleship would give us 1000
planes with a speed OF 100 miles, able
TO shower 500 tons or more Of high
explosives on a hostile fleet.
