LARGE CANNING FACTORY
is PLANNED FOR DAWSON
Thought Sufficient Capital In Sight To Install Plant Farmers
Are Asked To Meet Here Thursday Morning.

The organization of a canning fac
tory in Dawson has apparently been
assured by the raising of several
thousand dollars in subscriptions to
the stockso of the proposed plant. 1t
IS stated by those in charge of the
movement that the additional sum
required to give the concern a capt.
tai of ten thousand dollars will, it is
confidently believed, be raised among
citizens of the county outside of
Dawson within the next few days.
While the whole amount required
to set up the factory could have
been speedily raised, from all indi-
cations, within the town alone it is
considered essential that the farm
ers of Terrell county should be in
terested in the enterprise to insure
sufficient raw products for steady
operation. With this end in view
meeting will be held at the court
house Thursday morning at II
o'clock, which all the farmers of the
county who are interested in estab-
fishing a ready market for their
fruits, vegetables, and particularly
sweet potatoes, are asked to attend.
The movement to put up can
ming factory in Dawson was launched

INCOME TAX MAN
IS NOW in DAWSON
SPECIAL AGENT ADAMS WILL
BE HERE UNTIL MARCH TO
ASSIST IN MAKING RETURNS.

Hon. George W. Adams, special
agent of the revenue department,
arrived in Dawson yesterday morn
ing, and will be here until March list
for the purpose of assisting those
who are subject to the income tax
in filling the tax blanks.
Under the law single man with
an income last year in excess of ST.
600 and a married man whose in
come exceeded $4,000 must file a
statement with the department. Mr.
Adams is here to explain the law and
he will inform the people as to ex-
emptions, etc. 1t will greatly facili-
tate the work of making returns if
parties call upon Mr.. Adams prepared
to give information as to their gross
income from all sources, the expense
of making the income, and interest
and taxes paid. He requests all to
have this information ready. He can
be found at the court house every
day during his stay here.
Have You Paid Anyone $500?
Everyone who has paid as much
as eight hundred dollars to anybody
within the past year must make a
report. There are many farm hands
in this section of the state who re-
ceived eight hundred dollars or more,
and are included in the showing that
must be made.
The people of Terrell county are
fortunate in having so clever and
capable a gentleman as Mr.. Adams
sent here. AS editor of the Eatonton
Messenger he was for many years
one of the ablest and most prominent
newspaper men of the state. For sew
eral years past he has been in the
government service.

at meeting of the Dawson Cham
Der Of Commerce last week. At that
time Mr. W. H. Bailey, a representa-
tive of a large canning supply COM
pany of Virginia, appeared by invi-
tation before the chamber and set
forth his company's proposition,
which was quite favorably received.
The secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce was directed to give Mr..
Bailey every assistance possible in
the organization of the enterprise,
and many members of the trade body
their financial support.
1t is proposed to erect a plant
which will have a capacity of fifteen
thousand cans per day, and it is hop
ed to have it installed and ready for
operation by May 1st.
During the busy season it should
employ from 125 to IT'S people. The
establishment of such an enterprise
in Dawson will, it is believed, fill
log felt need. 1t will not only prove
of benefit to the trade interests of
the city but primarily will be great
source of profit to the growers of
and fruit and do much to
still further the farm val
ues of Terrell county.

IS CARLOADS OF MULES
SOLD In DAWSON THIS SEASON
Dealers Have Had Best Trade in Ten
Years. Indicates Unusual Eff
forts in Agriculture.

Dawson is again maintaining her
record as one of the greatest stock
markets in Southwest Georgia.
Dealers here say they are having
the best business in ten years, and
have sold this season 35 carloads of
mules and horses. Several more will
be sold before the season closes.
There were in the 35 carloads ap-
proximately 900 animals and they
brought an average price of S275,
which means mule bill of S250,0O0.
Practically all of these mules have
been bought by farmers, which in
dictates unusual activity along agri-
cultural lines a2d plans for largely
increased crops this year.
The farmers, who were badly be-
hind on account of the continued
bad weather, are rapidly catching up
with their blowing, and will soon be
ready to begin planting.

FUN WILL RUN RIOT AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
Advance Sale of Seats to One of the
Best Shows Ever Here Has Been
Unusually Large.

With a laugh in every line and a
laugh quite worth while, such as will
echo in your memory as you go
home, with this requisite for a COM
edy that is destined to wear for a
long time "Twin Beds" comes to
the Palace tonight under the direc-
ton of A. S. Stern & Co.
"Twin Beds" ran for a solid year
in New York, six months in Austria
liza and has already reached its sec
ond year in London. Productions
are also shortly to be made in Paris,
Petrograd, Rome, Madrid, South
America and South Africa; thus will
"Twin Beds" literally put a girdle
of laughter around the earth. "Twip
Beds" is said to raise a veritable cy-
clone of laughter during the course
of its three rapid-fire acts.
Not in many moons have the walls
of the Palace re-echoed to more
spontaneous laughter as they will to-
night, for from the rise of the curtain
to its final fall the fun will not be
allowed to flag for one moment and
we assure the young lady of seven
teen that she can take her mama to
see Twin Beds" without the slight
est misgiving. The advance sale has
been unusually large and there will
undoubtedly be a full house.

JObsOn Brings
Bigger Crops
To Our Farms
Georgia Boys Big Idea Sets
Farmers In Many States
To Talking-Leading Men
And Firms Get Behind 1t
In This County.

That the day of small beginnings
ana ultimate greatness of accomplish
ment is not over IS certainly proven
10 be fact by lie case Of John B.
JODSon, who, in the opinion of Allan
Ia capitalists, practical farmers and
goVer"n-el., -, 5rlcultural experts, has
given to The South and to the coun-
try one c. the greatest inventions of
the decade-one which, in the prac-
ucal words of Loring Brown, lead
ing farmer and writer of Georgia, is
now sweeping over the South, and
Is going to give US a crop increase OF
at least fourth.
Mr.. JobsoR has invented a plow-
hats all. He hasn't wrought out
new rapid-fre man-killer or fashioned
a model sword; but he has, it is
thought, produced an idea that will
make available, without a penny of
extra cost, thousands of tons of nat
ural fertilizers that have lain dor
mant right under the feet of the
farmers of the country, but which have
been so completely locked up in the
SOIL that they have heretofore been
q. no I.t&t whatever.
l1C Jl~son Sys-eN of soil Guilt
walton and this remarkable pillow will,
1t is claimed, open up new possibili-
ues in soil tillage that have hereto
lore been impracticable and entirely
beyond the reach of the backbone of
TINS counUry-the "one-hoss farmer
With its simplicity and practical
adaptability to the one, two or three
horse stock: its easy adjustment to
clay, lOamy hard or shallow land;
Its peculiar handling Of the SOIL so
mat 1t can be worked several days
earlier than the ordinary plow in
wet land. and its wonderful digging
and turning power which gives 1t
more efficiency per horse-power-all
Of these combine to make it some
thing which has set the farmers of
mis- ard adjoining states to talking
aeep Flowing as they have never
talked it before.
That Mr.. Jobson's pillow comes high
Y recommended is readily seen in
The hearty Endorsements of such men
as F. ]. Merriam, editor of The South
ern Ruralist; w. A. Parker, vice presi-
dent and general manager of Beck &
Gregg, one of the biggest hardware
firms in the south; W. L. Hunnicutt,
editor of The Southern Cultivator;
Hon. Jas. D. Price, Commissioner OF
agriculture; DR.. j. r. Horn, of Lu-
verne, Ala; R. G. Carlisle, .. S. Agri-
culture expert; E. G. Willingham, Sr.,
OF Atlanta, and many others from all
SECTIONS of the country.
That this pillow and the Jobson
Common Sense Methods have strong
backing in this county can not be
denied when we consider the names
OF the progressive dealers who are
helping to introduce the plow and
secure for our people the crop In
crease that will necessarily follow.

AFTER TWO YEARS BROUGHT
BACK FROM ASYLUM FOR TRIAL
Prisoner Then Found to Be Crazy Is
Restored to Sanity.

sent w. N. Methvin for him.
The prisoner will be held until

position will be made of the case
against him. He was originally ar
rested for whipping his wife and out
of this grew two or three other cases,
one for assault with intent to MUIR

From Every Section of the County
Comes Word That They Are Busy.
In almost every community Of the
county the women are actively en-
gagged in Red Cross work, many find
ing it more convenient to make the
garments in their homes than to visit
the work room. There are others
who have not enlisted in this branch
Of service as yet. To these an urgent
appeal is made that they either
spend Wednesdays at the Red Cross
work room in the city hall or phone
the chairman for work. Six dozen
garments were given out last week
and it is hoped a still better record
will be made this week. You are re-
quested to bring scissors and thimble
to the work room.
The special work of the young wo-
mans sewing club is the making of
comfort pillows from ships gathered
at the cutting department. If you do
not find it convenient to join in these
activities you may help by paying
one dollar and thereby becoming a
member of the Red Cross. Half of
this will be used for local supplies,
the other goes to headquarters. Chill
dren pay only 25 cents for member
ship. Every man, woman and child
a member is the goal set for Terrell

ONE LESSON TAUGHT BY WAR
Seems Certain That Soldiers Will
5@ Spread knowledge Of the Value
@t WI. of Outdoor Living.

Most Of us are already planning
what we shall do when the boys
come home T. .s..s
They have been away SO long, on
such dangerous heroic mission, that
when they come back we will love
them more and treat them better than
ever before. We Will appreciate them
and take more time from our fool
ish hurryings for love and comrade'
ship. We will spend more time enjoy
ing the human companionship OF the
boys and each other.
But II we spend more time with
them we'll have to spend it out OF
doors-for they won't stay In the
house to play!
The men In the army and navy,
drawn from the cooped-up places OF
modern social and industrial life, have
suddenly been taught the uses and de-
lights of plain, everyday fresh air.
They like it so we'll that they won't
be content with any other kind. They
have learned what 1t is to sleep under
the stars--a Joy once reserved 70
tramps and poets. They have watched
the exubernnt glory and triumph OF
rosy sunrise and learned the solemn
beauty Of creeping twilights.
'Tn Flanders fields where peoples
grow" they have learned a new and
mighty language Of the common grass
and flowers, and thrill to the song OF
the lark that braves the battlefields
ms they never thrilled to solemn Or
gan tones.
A day in June or October Is more
to them than square on the calen
dar. 1t Is a God-given time of sun
and air, and work and play, and
friendship and service-a glorious
period of full use Of mind and soul
and body--for splendor Of living IN
