ton desired to any one interested in

RED CROSS CHAPTER
Is BEING ORGANIZED
LARGE MEMBERSHIP EXPECT
ED. SEVERAL DESIRE TO EN-
TER NURSES WORK.

The patriotic spirit can be no bet
ter exemplified than has been the
case here in Dawson,
First by the offering of many for
active service, and next by the or
ganizatiOn of local chapter of the
American Red Cross.
The work of this association is
known worldwide, and it is the duty
of every citizen to become a men,
Der. Your circumstances may not
permit you to engage in field work
few members can-but you can help;
your family and friends can help by
becoming active members of the So
ciety and by actively supporting
your local Red Cross chapter. No
field work is required of members.
Yet, many Dawson young ladies have
already stated that they are DESTROYS
of taking the entire training course
for the duties of nurse.
The Red Cross is not under the
auspices of any local organization. 1t
is national affair Every citizen of
Terrell county is urged to join. Daw-
son cannot afford to be left behind
in this great work, as our neighbor-
ing towns have organized with large
and enthusiastic chapters. Any one
interested in the work is requested
to communicate with Mrs. William
Gardner, JT.

BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT

sweet peas in pastel shades. The
groomsmen were in regulation
evening dress. The flower girls
were dainty little figures in chiffon
dresses, full effect, in rainbow colors
of green, pink and blue. They scat
tered rose petals for the bride from
baskets trimmed in tulle. The petite
little ring bearer was pretty picture
in a fluffy dress of yellow chiffon.
The grouping of the attendants about
the chancel made a picture of grace
and beauty that caused much admira-
ton.
The bride entered with her father,
Judge j. A. Laing, winsome figure
In her bridal robe. Her long tulle
veil fell from it's chaplet of orange
blossoms to the end of the court
train. She carried a shower boouet
of bride roses and valley lilies. The
groom with his best man, Mr.. Clar-
ence Raglan, entered from the an
mex and met the bride at the altar
The beautiful ring ceremony was
lmpressively performed by Rev. T.
B. Stanford.
'Love's Old Sweet Song" was
played softly during the ceremony
by Miss Patterson. In couples, to
the strains of Mendelsohns, the
wedding party marched out, under
the arches.
The brides gift to each of her
maids and matrons were silver hat
pin holders in a design unique and
beautiful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rainey left imme-
diately for the honeymoon through
Florida. On their return they will
be at home with Mr.. and Mrs. A. J.
Hill until they take possession of
their apartments.
The most cordial interest has CEN
tered in this wedding, as both young
people are prominent and popular
in the social life. The bride, the
youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs.
j. A. Laing, has charm of personal
ity that has made her a leading fig
use in the younger set. Mr.. Rainey
is the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L..
Rainey and is one of Dawson's most
enterprising young men. He is asso-
ciated with Dawson News newspaper
and job printing plant.
No two young people possess more
loyal and admiring friends, as was
clearly evidenced by the unusually
large number of elegant and hand
some presents given them.
Hearty good wishes we'll up in
every heart that the rainbow of hope
may shine as brightly in the future
as it cleaned on their wedding night.

GRAIN EXPORTING is
HALTED BY EMBARGO

Baltimore, July 19.-The export
grain trade of Baltimore has come to
standstill since the embargo procla-
nation went to effect Saturday and
this is said to be equally true at all
other large grain export centers of
the United States.
The railroads are holding back the
grain intended for export and have
placed an embargo in conformity
with the proclamation.
Baltimore grain dealers say the
urgent demand from the allies soon
will force action in getting the food
stuffs to them
The Baltimore chamber Of commerce
will meet shortly to formulate set
of rules governing the movement of
grain from the interior to the sea
board
1t also will seek to reach a positive
way by which exporters can 90 ahead
with their shipments without undue
