VALIANT in PEACE
AS WELL AS IN WAR
TERRELL HERO WITH ONE ARM
FLOWED HIS CROPS AND
BECAME SUCCESSFUL.

In an interesting article in the
Southern Ruralist Major w. L. Gless-
ner, in writing of men who have over
come misfortune by pluck and per-
severance, makes this reference:
81 knew a man in Terrell county,
Ga, who came out of the civil war
with his left arm amputated Just be-
low the elbow. He had a small farm
and an old mule with which to begin
life anew. Taking a piece of board
he strapped it to his stump of an arm
and then to the handle of a pillow and
made crop. His pluck and energy
in time made him one of the most sue
cessful farmers in his section"
The News would be glad to have
more of the history of this worthy
citizen, and the public generally
would like to learn the name of the
hero who fought his battles so val
iantly in peace as we'll as in war.

STACKER WILL KNOW NO
PEACE is DRAFT WARNING
Local Board Notified That More In
structions Are Coming.

While no definite and detailed in
structions have been received by the
local draft board regarding the pun
ishment to be meted out to slackers
and deserters who failed to respond
to their country's call, still the i'm
preston prevails that such instruc-
tons soon will come and that they
will be of a nature which will au-
thorize and insist on dealing with a
firm and uncompromising hand with
such cases.
Additional detailed instructions to
the local draft board regarding some
phase of the draft work are coming,
according to notification received by
wire, and they think it probable that
this refers to the effort which is to
he made to run the slackers to earth.

DAWSON'S PROSPERITY
IS SHOWN BY BANKS
OFFICIALS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
RESULTS OF PAST YEAR,
DIVIDENDS DECLARED.

The healthy and prosperous condi-
ton of Dawson banks during the
past year is shown by the bank
clearings, which were 25 per cent
above those of 1917. This statement
emphasizes the solid prosperity on
which this section now rests. The Of
ficials of all of Dawson's banks are
enthusiastic over the results of the
past year as far as their banks were
concerned, and over their prospects
for 1919.
Without exception the banks not
only of Dawson but of Terrell coun-
ty handsomely increased their de-
posts the past year, and added many
new patrons to their institutions. A
striking feature of the business is
that in spite of the war securities into
which people put large amount of
their earnings the savings deposits
were greatly increased.
Annual Dividends Are Paid.
The banks have all paid their last
1918 dividends to stockholders.
The Dawson National Bank has
paid out $4,000 to its stockhold-
ers, which represents half of the 10
per cent returns for the entire year.
The years dividends amounted to
$4,000.
The stockholders of the City Ma
tional Bank received $4,000 as their
end of the year dividends. This bank
paid semi-annual dividend of 5
per cent, which is 2 per cent above
the dividend of the previous year,
and represents $4,000 paid to it's
stockholders.
The dividend of the Bank of Daw-
son for the year was per cent, which
amounted to $4,000 paid to its stock
holders as return on the money in
vested.

SHOWS WHAT CAN Be DONE
RAISING CATTLE IN TERRELL
Investment of $500 in Breeding Stock
Brings q Return of $1,7OO in
Year and a Half.

The recent sale of live stock and
farm equipment by Laing, Pickett &
Co., at the plantation they sold some
time ago to Mr.. Miller, of Pulaski
county, conclusively shows that this
section is adapted to the successful
raising of cattle.
Eighteen months ago this firm
bought and placed on their farm for
breeding purposes $500 worth of cat
tie and at the sale $4,000 worth
were disposed of, an increase of ST.
700 in a year and a half.
Farmers of Terrell county are de-
voting more attention to stock rails
ing than ever before, and there is
scarcely a farm on which thorough
bred cattle cannot be found.

ALBANY EDITOR ENJOYS
TERRELL COUNTY PRODUCT
Sings Praises of Butter From ElladaIe
Estate Dairy.

Estate Dairy.
The following editorial from the AL
bany Herald concerning the product
of a Dawson enterprise will be read
with interest:
'The Herald has recently received
samples of creamery butter from the
dairy farm of the Elladale Estate,
near Dawson. The butter came in at
tractive pound packages which were
IN all respects as neat as those in
which the great creameries of the
west pack their product for shipment
to all parts of the country Each
carton contained four quarter-pound
sections, each section being wrapped
in paper and the whole contained in a
compact container neatly printed
with the name, guarantee, ETC., of the
Elladale Estate. The butter itself
was of superior quality and flavor
quite capable of competing in the
average market with the best Elgin
ILL.,, product.
'This is another of Hon. J. R. Mer-
GERS experiments. He has installed
on the Elladale Estate a modern farm
creamery, and is turning out butter
for the market in as attractive form
as it is possible to pack it. Human
hands never touch the product, from
the time the milk is taken from the
cows till the butter cartons are I'M
wrapped by the consumer. Much of
the milk from the farm is sold to
regular customers. 1t is only the
surplus that the creamery utilizes, but
about $50 pounds of butter a week
is being turned out and marketed.
"There is market for an unlimited
supply of such butter in this Sec
ton. Albany alone would consume
the output of many farm creameries,
the number of which The Herald
hopes will grow rapidly from year to
year."
