The Dawson Chamber of Com
merce now has one hundred and
eighteen members, with the prospect
that others will soon be added to the

Zee many of the new members have
also contributed literally in subscrip-

put on a firm basis of organization
and its future success is apparently
fully assured.
The enthusiasm which has marked
all the meetings of the chamber was
in evidence at the meeting of Thurs
day night and a number of matters
looking to the betterment of the
town were discussed. DR.. L. Lamar

and reporting what kind of pavement
it would be best to favor in the event
