The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1918-10-01
CAMPAIGN OPENED SATURDAY
WITH BLOWING OF WHISTLES
AND RINGING OF BELLS. WO-
MEN WILL HAVE BIG PARADE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

The blowing of whistles and the
ringing of bells in Dawson Saturday
morning announced the opening of
the fourth liberty loan campaign,
through which the government will
sell 100000 of 4 "A per cent.
bonds for the purpose of financing
the war.
Terrell county's quota of this
amount is $349,850, which is nearly
twice as much as the county's quota
in the third loan.
Mr. R. L. Saville, chairman of the
campaign, has committees organized
in each district. He entertained the
chairmen of the district committees
at dinner Wednesday night, when
plans were made for pushing the
drive to a successful finish.
While no effort toward oversub-
scriptiOn will be made this county,
which was among the first cover the
top" in the third loan campaign, may
achieve distinction through large
per capita subscription, and the cam
paign committee is working toward
this goal.
What we shall try to do" said
Mr.. Saville, "is to see that every one
subscribes. This will mean an equita-
BILE division of the loan in Terrell
county, and no one will be required
to do more than his share" There
should easily be 1900 to 1900 per-
sons who buy bonds.
Every man, woman and child in
the county will have to invest at
least $3.50 in the loan if the quota
is met. This is figured out by taking
the last official census of the county,
$4,000 in round numbers.
Since every personalities and all
is included. it will be seen that the
amount each grown-up must sub
scribe will be far above $3.50. In
fact, every Terrell cOuntian must dig,
and dig deep.
Big Parade Wednesday.
A stirring feature of the loan cam
paign will be a parade to be staged
Wednesday afternoon by the women
Of the county. Mrs. T. B. Raines,
general chairman, and Mrs. J. A.
Shields, chairman for Dawson, will as
sjst Mrs. c. A. Wall, who is directly
In charge Of the parade, being chair
man Of that committee. These ladies
are hoping for the enthusiastic CO.
ooeration Of the entire county, as it
Is only in the outpouring of the cit
liens to get in line for this demon
stration that the success so much de-
sired can be achieved. The thought
Of a half hearted affair for such a
county as Terrell cannot be tolerated
Tor moment, as too much is at stake
Tor the matter to be treated lightly.
The committees ask that this pa
TIade, which will really take up very
little time, be put ahead of every
other engagement The people will
assemble at the Methodist church
promptly at 4 o'clock, and will march
IN the following order:
|. Boy Scouts.
Z. Schools of county.
). Mothers, fathers, wives, sisters
and sweethearts of men in service.
these will carry service flags.
4. County committee liberty loan.
D. Men, women and children of the
county, each carrying United
States flag.
Remember the parade is to start
at the Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock (no auto
mobiles or other vehicles will be al
lowed in line-everybody is expect
ca TO walk) and go from the church
10 Main street to the court house,
where the assembly will join in sing
ing America" If you don't know
Lhe words learn them right off, and
