Lock and M l.. Higgins, who took
alnds there in 1909 find their rights
to their claims disputed by the
Blaine County Irrigation company,
which had the lands segregated for
their project after the settlers took
the land. 1t seems that the settlers
rested on their priority rights, and
the irrigation company contracted to
sell the same lands to other people
and to deliver water to them. 1t is
claimed also that the irrigation COM
pany sold water to the settlers who
were actually farming the land, and
none of the parties have received
much if any of their expected water
supply The residents are being
treated as trespassers on the lands,
and the suit now in progress is to
determine their right to remain.
Witnesses for the settlers in adj
dition to those named above were
A. D. Christensen and E. e. Gilmore.
The parties and witnesses on the
other side of the case were M. H.
Wood, president of the Blaine Coun-
ty Irrigation company, who acted as
attorney in the case, and Clarence

DAWSON AND TERRELL
COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The public school system of Daw-
son is the pride of this little city j.. of
wealth and culture. Its success is due
to the far-sighted wisdom of the
trustees in sparing neither effort or
price in furnishing adequate build
ings and an excellent faculty.
The old wooden buildings that had
stood for so many years were re
moved and a modern brick building
erected in 1904, this building was
soon outgrown and the city fathers
issued bonds for the erection of an
annex, which was completed in 1912.
Both of the buildings represent an
expenditure approximating $4,000,
including furnishings.
The rooms in both buildings are

The courses of primary, grammar
and high school studies have been
planned with a view to laying a sub
stantial foundation for useful knowl-
edge. Besides the regular literary
courses, the school is offering courses
in commercial branches, music and
oratory, conducted by teachers spe-
cially instructed along these lines.
The latest up-to-date addition is
that of domestic science, which is
being rapidly equipped.
In all, the school supports Is
teachers and the faculty is thorough
and efficient from every standpoint.
In addition to the four schools
within the corporate limits of Daw-

MISS JAMIE BUSH
Co-Principal of the Dawson Public
Schools. Prominent in All
Public Affairs.

For several years Dawson has been
singularly fortunate in having as CO.
principal of the high school Miss ia
ME Bush, of GAINESVILLE, Ga. A
prominent. educator who visits all the
high schools of the state assures us
that she is the best lady teacher in
the high schools of Georgia, and that
very few of the "lords of creation"
can compare with her as teacher.
She teaches Latin and mathematics,
and the college professors all over
the state have learned of Miss Bush
through the splendid Latin and math-
ematic records of her pupils who
finish here and continue their stud
les at higher institutions of learn
ING.
Miss Bush is not only an exception
ally fine teacher, but as a private
citizen she is an asset to any COM
munity. She enters into the relig-
ious and social life Of the town quite
as enthusiastically as she does the
educational, and her influence is felt
in every line of work that is for the
betterment of the town. She is local
superintendent of the Sunday school
department of the w. C. T. U. work,
and is an active and helpful worker
in the S. P. /. class of the Method
list Sunday school and in the library
association.
She is quite musical in her taste
and is called upon to sing on all &C.
casions. Her practical talent is ex-
ercised quite frequently in getting
up programs for the school, clubs,
parties, etc. She is a well-rounded,
whole-sOuled, happy-hearted, whole
some kind of woman that one likes
to think of as just PLAIN JANE.

Teacher of Music and Sight Singing
in the Grades in the Dawson
Public Schools.

If it be true that the exception
proves the rule, then the rule that
"the prophet is without honor in his
own country" must be true; for we
certainly have the exception in our
faithful and efficient music teacher,
Miss Chap Saville. She is a Dawson
product, and yet she could not be
held in higher esteem by Dawsonians
if she were foreign born and called
herself Mile. de la Saville.
Miss Saville is the first and only
music teacher to be connected with
the schools here. Soon after her
graduation from Brenau College she
began teaching music here, and her
class was a success from the begin
ming. She made it so interesting for
her pupils that soon she had more
than she could accommodate before
and after school. SO after making a
study of music in the public school
she persuaded the board here to al
low her to introduce sight singing in
the grades, and teach her pupils at
their vacant periods at the school
building. She has been faithful and
untiring in her efforts for the school,
and her work has been crowned with
success. With her own programs
and the help her music has been to
the other teachers in their programs
she has kept the school before the
public; and advertising means as
much in the school world as it does
in the business world, her work has
meant great deal to the school and
to the town in general, and we all
recognize and appreciate it for its
full value.
