COURT HELD ON
INSTALLMENT PLAN
WITH LITTLE TO DO 1T HAS
BEEN SITTING A DAY AND
THEN TAKING RECESS.

The spring term of the superior
court, which convened on Monday
morning of last week, has been in
session only two days since then. 1t
will take another start tomorrow
Wednesday, morning.
On the first day of the session the
civil docket was disposed of and
Judge Worrill ordered a recess until
Wednesday morning. At that time
criminal business was taken up, and
by night matters were in such shape
that another recess was taken, this
time until Wednesday morning of
this week, when the trial of Grim
NAL cases will be resumed. Several
cases were disposed of last Wednes-
day, the only one of any Importance
being the acquittal of Mr.. Joe N.
McLendon, who was under indict-
ment for killing a negro on his farm
in 1916.
The grand jury has had very little
business. Thursday it took a recess
until Monday morning, when it re-
slmed its session and concluded it's
business early in the afternoon.
Judge Worrill came over from Cuth-
bert and received the general pre-
sentiments and discharged the jury
for the term.
The presentments reported the
books of the various officers in good
shape, and several of the roads of
the county in bad shape 1t was rec
commended that leaks in the court
house roof be stopped, that more
cots for prisoners be put in the jail,

The children of the sixth grade.
have way of showing their patriot
ism by their works, and on several
occasions have won high commenda-
ton for "going over the top" in fine
style. Their teacher, Miss nellie
Fielder, has been the inspiration of
much of their activity, and always
they are sure of the hearty co-opera-
ton of Mrs. W. F. Sherman and Miss
Nellie Laing in whatever patriotic
work they undertake.
Just now these children are very
much interested in the support of
French orphan, having adopted An
dree Dragove, whose address is II
Rue de Athenes, Valence, France.
They have pledged themselves to sup
port the child for two years, which
means that the nickels and dimes
which have been spent for self-indul-
gence will gladly be turned into this
relief work, which will mean so much
to the little life across the sea.

WILL BE FREQUENTLY USED BY
THE GOVERNMENTS AlRMEN
IN FLIGHTS ACROSS COUN-
TRY. AN IDEAL LOCATION.

A landing site for government
aviators from Souther field at Amer
ions is to be established at Dawson.
T. will be located on the Elladale es-
tate On tract of land about fifty
acres in extent fronting on Pecan
street, all of it within the city limits.
The location is said to be an ideal
one. requiring but few improve
ments. which have already been I'M
dertaken, and it is believed it will be
one of the most frequently used of
the sites to be employed by the avia-
tors.
It was upon this field that the three
ayiators who visited Dawson last
week landed Captain Furrow, who
was one of these, made a careful in
spection of the field at that time, in
company with officials of the Daw-
son Chamber of Commerce, and af-
ter his return to Americas notified
them that the location was desired as
a permanent landing site. He stated
that all that would be required to
make the field thoroughly suitable
would be the filling in of two bitches,
small amount of grading in the
center of the field and the removal
of an electric light line on the west
ern edge running along Pecan street.
Negotiations which had been tent
atively undertaken with Mr.. J. R.
Mercer, manager of the Elladale es-
tate, for the lease of this property
have been concluded, Mr.. Mercer
having consented to the use of the
field for this purpose at no little f.
nancial sacrifice. The authorities at
Souther field were notified that the
suggested improvements would be
made at once.
1t is expected that landings will be
made there beginning almost imme-
diately, but it will be several weeks
perhaps before the field is used to
the full extent contemplated. At that
time from three to ten aeroplanes
will visit three to six days a week.

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS
RENDERED VALUABLE HELP

Were Active in Securing Subscrip-

The Junior Red Cross was very
active in the work to raise Terrell
county's quota in the drive of the
past week, and by their untiring eff
forts added to the fund $15O-the
leaders of the street teams with their
helpers collecting more than 500,
the remainder being contributed
through the second, third, sixth and
seventh grades of the public schools.
Stonewall street has the honor of the
largest street contribution, Charles
Wall leader, but College street, with
Lucy May Brim as leader, followed
very close. The next issue of The
News will tell of some of the things
this band of young people have done
and are doing in Red Cross work.

.DRINi& HOT WATER
uF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMIPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
Is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
viouS days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is abb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali-
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
, through the very ducts which are In
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with
teaspoOnful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, SWeetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
pleXion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that lust as soap and hot water
cloanscs, purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm.
portart than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do

LANDING SITE FOR AVIATORS
BEEN SECURED AT DAWSON
NEGRO SOLDIER WAS
CLUBBED BY A POLICEMAN
He Had Forged a Bank Check, and
Resisted Arrest.

A negro soldier, William More
head, who is at home on furlough,
was severely dubbed by Policeman
Norton Saturday afternoon.
The negro had forged the name of
Mr.. j. E. Wilkes to check on the
City National Bank for $6.75 and
cashed it at the Dawson Trading
Co.'s, and when Policeman Norton
took him to the city Jail he resisted
beink locked up and attempted to
take the officers pistol. He was
knocked down four times before he
entered the cell.
Morehead was later transferred to
the county jail, and will be tried in
the superior court this week. The
probability is that he will now wear
different kind of uniform and de-
vote his time to improving public
highways.
