nAWSON MERCHANTS PLAN
For A BIG FALL BUSINESS

keeping up the standard of excel
lence maintained for years by the
McLain Co.
The large business done the past
year at Maloof's has encouraged the
proprietor of this popular store to
increase his stock, and to add only
the best that could be found in the
centers of trade.
D. Pearlman is back from the
markets and proposes to be right in
the game of big business this fall,
and is well satisfied that he is ready
to meet the keenest competition.
But it must be remembered that
high class stores can only be main
tanned when the merchants receive
home patronage. A dead town is
often the result of highly colored
mail order catalogues, which en-
courage the community to send their
money away from home.
Trading at home wields remark
able influence over community life.
1t works miracles in civic growth
and civic harmony. It's radiating in
fluences reach into every nook and
corner of community activity. 1t is
felt in the home, bringing sunshine
and joy 1t is found in the schools.
1t is seen in the community in a
thousand wondrous words spelling
"better streets" and "better walks"
"better drives" "better everything"
Buying at home brings to the COM
munity all the truly worth while
things of American life and keeps
bringing them.
Buying at home is the propelling
force of the community. 1t means
civic progress. 1t enables communi-
ty to keep abreast Of the times, to
go forward-never backward. 1t
brings to community the newest of
civic improvements community
Fairgrounds, community gardens,
community parks. Trading at home
selects the best of the outside influ-
ences and places them before the
community constantly.
At first glance all this may sound
unreal. The casual reader mayhar
cannot associate buying at home so
closely with community welfare. But
stop for a minute. Consider few
concrete facts.
All community or civic activity is
absolutely dependent upon municipal
taxes and community donations
From these two sources come all the
funds of municipal government and
civic improvement. People in AL
bany. Atlanta or Macon, nor big mail
order houses in Chicago, Boston and
New York never contribute one dol
lar toward building roads, paving
streets, erecting schools, laying out

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poIsons and toxins from
system before putting more
food Into stomach.
Says Inslde-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This Is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, q
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which Is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pOuHu Oh HIneSIone pnoS-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who. are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach OF
constipation are assured of pro
nounced Improvement In both health
and appearance shortly.

parks, instituting public Libraries in
Dawson. The money for all these
great monuments to civic pride and
the numerous other features of com
munity progress comes from home.
Now, who at home pays the great
est share into the community well
fare fund? The answer summed up
into two words is this-home mer-
chants. Upon them falls the great
est burden of taxation. To them goes
the honor of giving to every home
movement-school library, woman's
clubs and churches. The home mer-
chant and the home merchants
money supports them all. He is a
home town booster first, last and
all the time.
Are you buying at home? Are
you giving your home merchant the
support that he deserves? Are you
helping secure "better things" for
your community, or are you throw
ing your money to the building of
new viaduct in Chicago or scenic
drive along the Hudson? Think it
over.

BUREAU WILL BE A GREAT
SURPRISE TO PUBLIC.

The News has received from the
census bureau at Washington a re-
port of the population of Terrell
county and the incorporated cities

According to the report the coun-

can be given for the Graves district,

BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS
A VERY HAPPY AFFAIR
Given Complimentary to Little Julia
Brown on Fifth Anniversary.


One of the prettiest parties the
past week was that given at the
home of Mrs. Mary Brown, in honor
of Julia. little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Mack Brown, celebrating her
fifth birthday. :,
The color scheme of pink and gold
was artistically carried out through
out the house. The punch bowl, en-
bedded in a mass of golden glow,
was presided over by Miss Allene
Brown.
After jolly games always enjoyed
by the little folks delicious golden
cream was served in crisp cones, af-
ter which all gathered around the
pretty pink covered table holding
the birthday cake of pink and gold
with its five tiny candles surround
ed by a wreath of yellow roses.
Then a happy surprise was the
serving of two large Jack Horner
pies. Each guest was told to draw
a ribbon from the slice in the pie.
The little girls drawing pink ribbons
found tiny dolls with pink crepe
dresses and the boys drawing gold
ribbons drew pomp caps.
Julia. in her dainty Swiss dress
with mink ribbons, made charming
hostess, and was made happy with
many pretty and useful gifts
Assisting in entertaining the
guests were Miss Belle Brown, Mrs.
Walter Hill, Mrs. Emmett Riordan
and Mrs. T. E. Bum.

REPORTS COTTON CROP
ALMOST A TOTAL FAILURE
Rain and Weevils Cut Crop to Two
Bales to Plow on Some Farms.


Mr.. C. C. Brim, prominent mer-
chant and farmer of Sasser, was in
the city day or two ago, and re-
ported that the cotton crop is almost
a total failure in his section of the
county, due to incessant. rains and
ravages of the boil weevil. He said
that although the prospects were
promising at one time many farm
ers cannot hope for more than five
bales to the pillow. Some, he said, will
not get more than two. -.
Cotton in every section of this and
adjoining counties has deteriorated
considerably the past three weeks,
and farmers generally agree that
the yield will be reduced from rs
to 80 per cent.

To say that the people of both
the county and Dawson are surpris-
ed and disappointed at the results
of the census as announced is stat
ing it mildly. While it is true that
many negroes have left the county
for industrial centers and the North
large number of white families
have moved here from North Geor-
gia-enough, it was believed, to off
set the exodus of the negro popu-
latiOn.
AS to the loss of population in
Dawson, it is the universal opinion
that more people are living in the
city than ever before. There are
more houses in Dawson than at any
time in its history, and SO far as
known there is not a vacant resi-
dence.
Some weeks ago the Chamber of
Commerce took up with Congress
man Crisp the matter of having a
recount of the people of Dawson,
but it seems that nothing came of it.
