TERRELL'S FALLEN
SOLDIERS HONROED
IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES HELD
IN DAWSON FRIDAY. MEMO
RIAL TREES PLANTED.

The veterans of the grey line and
the young soldier in khaki shared
honors in deeply impressive exercises
held at the court house Friday morn
ing under auspices of the Mary
Brantley chapter, U. D. c. The occa-
sion marked the birthday anniversary
of Robert E. Lee, who lived to i'm
mortalize the stainless record of the
Confederate heroes, and at the same
time to pay fitting tribute to the two
Terrell county soldiers who laid their
all on the altar Of their country.
The west porch of the building was
appropriately decorated with Confed-
crate colors blended tremendously
with the stars and stripes. Seated
with the speakers were the relatives
of John Willis Daniel, of Dawson,
who sleeps in Flanders Field, and j.
B. Davis, whose remains rest in the
cemetery at Sasser. Assembled on the
lawn and in automobiles were many
who had silently sympathized and
now came to give outward expression
to mingled feeling of sorrow and
pride over these heroic lives taken
Just in the bloom of youths rich
promise. .
Mr.. W. B. Parks was in charge OF
the program, introducing each speak,
err in well chosen words. America"
was the inspiring opening number.
After the invocation by Rev. I. ii.
Thomson Mrs. Frank Harold, state
president of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, brought greeting from
that organization which was an earn
est and stirring appeal for loyalty to
American ideals. Mrs. Harold had
her subject we'll in hand, and her
manner of presenting it was clear
and forceful. 1t seemed peculiarly
appropriate that Elder R. H. Jen-
nings, in whose church the young
men held membership, should be Sc
lected to pay tribute to their lives as
citizens and soldiers. The message
right from the heart of the speaker
rang true with words of tenderest
eulogy. Following this the choir rem
dered with deep feeling LET Us Pass
Over the River and Rest Under the
Shade of the Trees"
The planting of the two trees by
Mrs. Harold and the local presl'
dent. Mrs. L. Lamar, was most i'm,
pressive. AS an offering of love and
loyalty the Mary Brantley chapter
+. u D. c., placed upon the fresh sod
floral pieces of white japonicas and
red carnations. A reading, "Whc
plants a tree plants thought" was
fitting selection. Prayer by Rev
Mr.. Thomson closed the exercises.

DAWSON HI WINS
TWO and LOSES One
GIRLS TAKE GAME FROM SHELL
MAN. BOYS SPLIT EVEN WITH
PARROT AND ALBANY.

Friday the Dawson girls won their
second victory in basket ball. This
time Shellman was the defeated op-
ponent. The score was fourteen to
two. Lucille Jones and Lucy Mae
Brim did some splendid goal shooting
Dawson Beats PARROT Again.
Winning from PARROT has grown
to be almost a habit with the high
school basket ball team, last Wednes-
days game in Parrott being the
fourth time the Dawson high school
has turned the trick. 1t seems that
someone had offered the PARROT boys
a new basket ball should they win
from Dawson; naturally they put up
a hard fight. This fact, added to the
disadvantage of an outdoor court,
held US down to 10 points. PARROT
managed to get 6.
Fred Ball Wins for Albany.
In the annual basket ball game be-
tween Albany high school and Daw-
son high Friday night Albany came
out on top 26 to 16. The uncanny
ability of Fred Ball, star forward, in
shooting goals from any angle spell
ed defeat for D. H. S. If Balls work
Friday night is common occurrence
he is undoubtedly the best goal toss
err that has ever played on the new
court. Dawson's team played good
game, but failed to ring goals when
they were needed. We hope to re-
