LOVELY OCCASION AT
FAIRGROUNDS MONDAY.

Monday evening was brilliant oc-
casion at the Fairgrounds, when 2
number of citizens gathered to dt
honor to the men and women OF the
town who have so ardently sponsor
ed the playground project from the
beginning. Mrs Frank Sheffield pre-
sided. and the ease and grace with
which she executed her authority was
notable. Mrs. j. W. Harris, } r.. sang
several selections in her inlmlta Ole
manner, and virtually brought
down the house" by her amusing Sc
lection, Sahara" Another which
was applauded to the rafters was
'Love is Love.
After talks had been made con
cerning the aim of the Fairgrounds,
Mrs. Harris sang in very sweet ahG
tender manner that sweet sacred
song, "The Sweet Story of Old" An
appreciative silence followed this
lovely story.
The reception rooms where the
chairs were placed for the. guests
were prettily decorated with roses
and sweet peas. Two punch bowls
were embedded in a profusion Of red
and white roses combined with ferns,
and over these Mrs. Cobb Miner and
Mrs. J. Ralston Cargill presided with
grace. Punch refreshed the guests,
and delicious sandwiches were enjoy
ed. The table on which the sand
wiches were arranged held a basket
filled with sweet peas in all their
pastel loveliness.
The musical program was under
the direction of Mrs. Joe johnson
and Miss Mamie Bragg.
The men were amazed at the Won
derful accomplishment of the women
in so short time, and were lavish
in the encomiums of praise for their
remarkable ability to get things GO
ing. The ladies, not to be outdone,
gave freely of their thanks to the
men for their able and timely assls--
tance, and the thought impressed
upon all by the splendid talk made by
Mrs. Frank Sheffield was cooperation
by all in this project to bring It to
a happy conclusion for the klddles
of Americus.
The evening closed with hearty
handshakes all around, and the feel
ing was apparent that it had been d
real get-together occasion.

WHERE ESKIMO IS SUPERIOR
Home Life Declared by Stefansson to Be Practically ldeaI-Hospitable
 in the Extreme.

Vilhialmur StefanSSOn, in writing of his 13 months stay among the Es- kimos. tells of their great kindness to a guest who could not pay for his keep, says Harper's, a stranger whose purpose among them they did not know, thus:
 'In an Eskimo home I have never heard an unpleasant word between man and his wife, never seen child punished nor an old person treated in cOnSderately The household affairs are carried on in an orderly way ana the good behavior of the children is remarked by practically every traveller.
 Tn many things we are the superl- ors of the Eskimo and in few we are his interiors. The moral value Of some of his superiority is small. lie can make better garments against cold than our tailors and furriers; he can thrive in barren wastes where New Englander would starve. "Rut of some of his superiority the moral value is great. He has deVel- oped individual quality further than we he is less selfish, more helpful to his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler to his child, more reticent about the faults of his neighbor than any but the rarest and best of our race.
 "When I tried to express thanks for their kindness in my fragmentary Es- kimo, they were more surprised than pleased.
 "Do, then, in the white mans land some starve and shiver while others eat much and are warmly clad!
 ITO that question I said 'No,' al though I knew I was lying. l was afraid the competitive system coulc not be explained to them satisfactor fly; neither was l. being the poor est among them, very anxious to tr! justifying it."

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1920-08-31

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DIR.
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from
roots and barks a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping US healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.
