A proposed amendment to the an

GO-TO-SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY
Was Featured by Fine Program and
Largely Increased Attendance.
Many New Members.

"Go-to-Sunday-School Day" in
Dawson was marked by a largely in
creased attendance of those already
enrolled, and a number of new mem
bers to swell the crowd. Supt. R. D.
Smith and his helpers had for some
days been right on the job of arous-
ing interest, and the fine program
arranged by DR.. J. H. Therrell, field
secretary of the South Georgia con-
ference, furnished entertainment and
information that made the occasion
of great pleasure and profit.
The facts presented in the official
program which he sent out to the
churches of the South Georgia con-
ference are most encouraging and
show remarkable progress in this
method of evangelism.
The funds secured on "Go-to-Sun-
day-School Day" are used for the
extension of the work. Dawson's ap-
portionment was 1924, which amount
was quickly raised by free will of
ferings.

Last week we had something to
say regarding the sale of thrift
stamps at Shellman, which at that
time aggregated about $4,000. That
seemed a very creditable' amount,
but since then the sales of these
stamps have more than doubled, pass
ing $4,000. This is a wonderfully
fine showing for a place the size of
Shellman and we are proud of the

CITY AND COUNTY
,r,u CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ppEPARING TO GET BUSY.
MEET NEXT THURSDAY.

According to reports made at
noa+ing held Thursday night by
,Or,roittees in charge of recruiting
additional support for the organiza-
ZION there is every indication that
4bo Dawson Chamber of Commerce,
launched a little over week ago, is
70 become a permanent and potent
force in the affairs of the town. Fol-
Lowing the first drive for members
and contributions many additional
subscriptions have been obtained and
sufficient fund has been realized
10 provide for at least years oper-
alton and maintenance along lines
originally mapped out.
In the absence Of President ]. D.
Weaver, who has been attending an
important conference in Washington,
n c.. the meeting was presided over
nv Vice President j. c. Hollings-
worth. Mr.. W. B. Parks, the secre-
tarv, submitted number of sugges-
tons, formulated by the state cham
her of commerce, for efficient work
along practical lines and also made
comprehensive report of what has
been accomplished during the first
weeks existence of the new trade
bodv. The main idea he stressed
was that it is the steady, consistent
and united work from day to day
that will count, and not any sporadic
efforts accompanied by little else
save talk.
A number of excellent suggestions
were made by a number of those in
attendance looking to the improve
ment of the town, among these being
what was stated as an urgent need
for paving the business streets of
Dawson. This matter will be discuss
ed further by the chamber of COM
merce later on. The necessity for a
greater publicity of the splendid re-
sources of Terrell county and Daw-
son was also pointed out and the sec
rotary announced that work with
this end in view had already been
undertaken and would be consistent
ly and industriously carried on.
Another meeting of the chamber
Of commerce will be held at the court
house Thursday evening at 1880
o'clock, and it is hoped at that time
to have present one or more expert
enced commercial organization work
ers from other cities to address the
meeting. 1t is urged that not only
every member of the Dawson cham
Der of commerce attend this meeting
but that all other citizens who have
not yet joined the organization but
who have the best interests of the
town at heart be present.
