NOAH JOHNSON And WIFE
KILLED IN CRISP COUNTY
Were Shot Dead by Latter's Brother
Without Apparent Cause. Re-
mains Brought Here.

Noah johnson and his wife, for
many years well-known negro resi-
dents of Terrell county, were both
instantly killed by the latter's broth
er near Cordele one day last week,
where they went from near Sasser
about two months ago to work with
their slayer.
None of the particulars of the
tragedy are known here, but it is re-
ported that the killing was without
cause. They were suddenly and I'M
expectedly shot down with Win
chester rife. There had been no dis
turbance of any kind. The slayer
made no attempt to escape, and is in
the Crisp county jail.
The. remains were brought here
Thursday and taken to the communi-
ty in which they had lived many
years for burial.
Noah Johnson was for many years
one of the prosperous colored citi-
zens of the county, owning and oper-
ating a large plantation.

A Terrell county soldier with the
368th infantry at Camp Meade, Md,
tells below what the purchase of lib
erty bonds means for the "boys" who
have gone from here to fight the bat
ties of their country. Read it, and
then buy another bond
Editor The Dawson News: I take
the liberty of addressing this letter
to you to show how a soldier from
your home feels about the third lib
crty loan.
If you have bought or will buy one
fifty-dollar bond | will receive l
trench knife, rifle grenades, IA
hand grenades.
One one hundred dollar bond will
clothe me or feed me for eight
months.
One one hundred dollar bond and
one fifty dollar bond will clothe and
equip me for overseas service.
Three one hundred dollar bonds
will clothe me and keep me in France
for a year.
Some subscriber to the liberty
loan may know that he has made the
above possible. Why not let it be
you? If you have purchased to your
greatest possible extent pass this on
to some one else. Everyone of US
needs some one behind, providing the
money and tools. Pm going across

For every ounce of food and drink

REV. J. B. LAWRENCE MAY

Rector of Calvary Receives Call to
City Church.

City Church.
The Dawson friends of Rev. j. B.
Lawrence will be interested to know
that he has under consideration a
call to a large church in another
Georgia city that will probably take
him away from Americas. The con
gregation of Calvary church in that
city, where he has for twelve years
been the beloved rector, are deeply
concerned over the possibility of the
removal of this popular minister and
there is widespread and sincere hope
that some influence may be brought
to bear to induce Rev. Mr.. Lawrence
foreman in the community where his
unselfish service has endeared him to
all denominations. General regret
would be felt in Dawson should this
man of God discontinue the good
work he has begun here by accepting
the call to another parish.
