DAWsON'S SOCIAL ADVANTAGES

The social conditions of Dawson
are ideal, there being furnished re-
creation for every age and station of
life. For those inclined toward soci-
ETY., there are hostesses whose hospi-
tally is excelled by none, and the
numerous receptions, teas, dances,
card and rock parties and other
forms of entertainment fill every
want Many are the homes gracious
~ opened to guests, and each occa-
sion is one long to be remembered.
For the more serious-minded, the
churches furnish every recreation,
where diversion and bearing one an
others burdens go hand in hand,
There are the missionary societies
of both churches, each with it's young
peoples and juvenile auxiliaries,
each member contributing his mite
toward the great good that is being
done. The regular Sunday services,
where gospel truths are expounded
by ministers second to none in their
calling, the mid-week prayer meet
ings, the ladies' cottage prayer meet
ings, the Sunday schools, ETC., all
have their place in the hearts and
minds of the people.
Then the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, non-denominational
with a widespread interest, reaching
as it does to every nook and Granny
of the globe. Wherever foot .trods
there the influence of the white rib
bon is felt, and none stand more
ready to reach out a helping hand
to an erring boy or girl, man or wo-
man than these loyal women of the
white bow.
For those of literary turn of mind,
we have the Woman's Club, the nu-
cleus of the Library Association, re-
sponsible for our splendid Carnegie
library. Monthly meetings are held,
at the Log Cabin club house, erected
through the efforts of these untiring
women, and programs arranged that
are both interesting and instructive.
The ladies of the Library Association
were charter members of the club,

are off to those women-foremos in
all that is good for the town. We
have cleaner streets on their account,
the work of the civic committee, and
during the past summer the club OBJ
tanned the services of the demonstra-
ton agent and our, women learned
the art of conserving foodstuffs to a
degree never practiced before.
The Red Cross work that is being
carried on was prompted largely by
this band of women, who have had a
trained worker to teach the class in
various branches of the work, and
only recently, when the examinations
were given, number of our girls
and women made an average of 100
per cent on their papers. Practical
knowledge is the slogan, and the knit
ting club, the trench candle makers,
bandage makers, ETC., are only some
of the results of this campaign. Our
patriotic organizations stand fore
most in all that is good, and the work
that is being carried on by both chap
tiers of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy and the Daughters of the Rev

The Daughters of the Confederacy
have been untiring in their efforts to
brighten the declining years of the
veterans, and although the crosses
of honor are being seen less and less
on our streets, as the veterans of the
sixties have gone to their last sleep,
those remaining are never forgotten,
