APPEAL TO CLUBWOMEN.
President Of New York Federation Asks
Aid For Friendly Shelter Home.

President of New York Federation Asks
Aid For Friendly Shelter Home.
Brooklyn.-Mrs. NJ. c. Lawton, presi-
dent of the Empire State Federation
of Women's Clubs, has issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the members of the
various clubs. Mrs. LawtOn says:
"At our last meeting Of the Empire
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
held in Poughkeepsie in July, 1916, we
voted to take as our object the EN-
pire Friendly Shelter For Friendless
Girls. At this time. when our hearts
are brimming full and running over
with Joy. when the peal from joyous
bells are sounding and resounding the
world over, would remind you of the
unfortunate women among US who
have slipped and fallen by the way
side.
"In this institution, as in many 9TH
ers, a faithful few have been carrying
the burden in the heat Of the day,
often struggling against great odds.
But the management does not despair.
It feels that If it can only bridge the
cnasm which often lies between sue
cess and failure. that this potential
factor, the saving Of our girls, must
receive the consideration and support
it deserves.
"Other natiOnalities have the same
problem with which to deal, and they
are bending all their energies toward
its solution. The success Of races is
not dependent upon superficial gains
or advancement. but upon the moral
strength of its women. Now that you
are turning the last leaf Of the old
year 1915 and the first leaf Of the new
year add one page to your credit as
benefactresses to some charitable en-
terprise, and l know of none more de-
serving or more In need Of your SYM
pathy and support.
"In view Of the high cost of food,
fuel, etc., ! appeal to your pride as
clubwomen to remember this home
when you are supplying your wants.
Remember the beautiful words Of our
Saviour, 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive" Think Of the Joy We
can distribute, think Of the hearts we
may gladden., and. above all. the souls
we may save.
"Who knows but that there is a
Douglass, or Washington, or Lang
ston among the male offspring Of that
home? Who knows but that there is
Phyllis Wheatley, Frances Watkins,
Josephine Yates, SOjOurner Truth or
Harriet Tubman among the girls? 1t
does not necessarily follow that the
boy or girl properly environed makes
the most of life, for honor and fame
from no condition RISE Act well your
part. There's where the honor lies.'
1T is good to be born well, but 1t Is
better to do well after you are born.
I feel safe in believing tnat have but
to call your attention to the promise
we made at Poughkeepsie, n. Y, at our
meeting in July. 1916. and that no time
is better to test our race loyalty than
this Christmas time. Respectfully.
IN. C.. LAYTON,
president Of the Empire State FEEDER.
alton Of Women's Clubs.

Thirty third Street, New York City"

A DAWSON CITIZEN
WRITES HOT LETTER
SAYS VISITORS FINED FOR NOT
HAVING NEW AUTO TAGS
SHOULD BE REPAID.

Editor The News: The writer of
this little protest is, or tries to be, a
law abiding citizen, therefore hest
tates to complain when law is en-
! forced; but, Mr.. Editor, are there not
many instances in life when every
thinking individual realizes that GER
tain infractions of the state statutes
as well as the old school masters
rules should be "winked" at, passed
as if not seen? Are there not many
little things which mean too much
for Dawson to have our officers run
the risk of wounding the feelings Of
visitors, of strangers, and depicting
their purses to the emolument of the
officials of the town and county,
while, at the same time, causing these
strangers "within our gates" to go
away with very "bitter tastes" in
their mouths, and swearing vengeance
against Dawson? Did Dawson add
anything to it's good reputation when
four individuals, visitors from a
neighboring county, who were here
to trade with our merchants and bus
mess men, were hailed before court
and stripped of $1,000 each simply
because they, in another county, had
inadvertently overlooked the matter
of an auto tag for few days? No.
Not only that, but these same indi-
viduals will blame Dawson for what
they will feel was very close to a
"hold-up."
In the name of the thinking citi-
zens of the town | protest. Every
cent of these fines and costs should
be restored to these parties, and
they assured that Dawson wants to
see them again. Had they been
caught two or three months after the
time limit for the payment of the
auto license they would have had but
little excuse for protest, for every
man owning an automobile should
pay what the state demands of him,
just as should all of us pay our taxes
Let every county take care of its own
delinquents, then the negligent indi-
vidual will have no one to blame save
his own "kith and kim" When such
an one comes to Dawson for heavens
sake let's make him feel that he has
been in "wide open town" so far
as he is concerned, so long as he con-
duets himself with an eye to order
and decenty. Shake his hands on ev-
cry corner, and remain absolutely
blind to minor foibles. Yours for
Dawson, BILL JONES.

Mr.. WILLIAM GUNNELS
Webs MISS RAWLINS
MARRIAGE AN ELABORATE AT.
FAIR-COUPLE WILL RESIDE
IN BRONWOOD.

The marriage of Miss Mabel Claire
Rawlings of Sandersville, and Mr.
William Gunnels of Brentwood
occurred Wednesday. They arrived
in Bronwood on Saturday, where they
will make their home The Sanders
vile Georgian gives the following &C
count of the happy event:
"The home of Judge B. T. Raw
lings was the scene of one of the
loveliest weddings which has ever
taken place in Sandersville when
Miss Mabel Claire, his eldest daugh-
ter, and Mr.. Charles William Gun
nels of Brentwood, Ca, were married
Wednesday evening. More than a
hundred Easter lilies on their stately
stems, gave an elegance and dignity
to the already attractive interior of
the spacious rooms. In the parlor a
bank of ferns designated the place
where the Rev. w. K. Dennis stood
while performing the ceremony;
among the fronds of ferns were doz-
ems of white wax tapers in silver
candelabra. In front of the minister
was a prayer stool with white satin
cushions to either side Of this, form
ing an aisle, stood Marie Antoinette
baskets of Easter lilies. At 9 o'clock,
Miss Hattie Davis, violinist, accom-
panied by Miss Ruth Gaines, pianist,
rendered enchanting music, in the
music room at the end of the recep-
ton hall; the guests felt that charmed
expectancy as the sweet strains
glided into that familiar march of
