BAPTIST YOUNG FOLKS
GATHER AT PLAINS
LARGE NUMBER ATTENDED
FROM DAWSON. REV. S. F.
LOWE MADE ADDRESS.

The Dawson Baptist church was
represented at the B. Y. P. u. conven-
ton at Plains by large number from
the junior union and several car loads
from the senior unior. A very fine
program was arranged, Mr.. Frank
Leavell, state B. Y. P. u. director, be-
ing one of the principal speakers. The
main feature of the meeting was the
thorough organization Of the young
people of the Friendship Association
to foster the work in the various
churches and especially to organize
unions in the churches which at pres
ent have no such organizations.
In noting the presence of Rev. S.
+. Lowe at the convention the Amer
icus Times-Recorder said:
"Rev S. F. Lowe, splendid speak
err, pastor Of the Dawson Baptist
church, gave a talk on Conservation,
which was one of the features Of the
meeting. In his remarks Mr.. Lowe
made it very clear that without con-
secration of body and mind to- the
work in hand very little could be &C
complished in any line of religious
work, and that this was essentially
true of Baptist Young Peoples I'm
ions, where all that is best is called
for in the youth who comprise the
membership Of the organization"

ES APPRECIATION OF COUR-
TESIES SHOWN HIM HERE.

Mr. F. H. Abbott, secretary of the
Georgia Association, who recently
spoke in Dawson, has written a letter
to Secretary Marlin, OF the Chamber
of Commerce, expressing his apprecia-
ton OF the courtesies shown him on
the occasion oA his recent visit here
to speak in the interest of the Greater
Georgia movement. He says:
This note is to express my very
keen and genuine appreciation of the
courtesies and hospitality shown me
when | recently visited your city by
the Kiwanis Club and the Chamber
of Commerce, which you represent as
secretary.
Il am not eXaggerating at all when
| tell you that in no town that | have
visited in Georgia have the people
whom | met made me feel more, COM
pletely at home than your people IN
Dawson did. 1t was really a day OF
genuine pleasure to me to be with
you.
incidentally, one of your former
citizens, Mr.. Gibson, who now lives IN
Waycross, showed me a copy OF The
Dawson News, and l noticed page
of optimism from your Kiwanis club.
| cannot refrain from rejecting upon
how little of real hard times we would
have in Georgia if in every county
there was expressed the same sort of
optimism that you folks in Dawson
are practicing. By the way, your news
paper itself is a splendid advertise
ment Of your splendid county and city.
In make up, in Typography and in
subject matter it is of the best.
Il wish you would extend my best
wishes to the members of your two
organizations whom you made it so
pleasant for me to meet"

DAWSON SCHOOL HON0RED
FATHER OF THE COUNTRY
An Unusually Good Program Given
On Washington's Birthday.

That something new and highly en-
Pertaining was introduced with almost
every number on the program that
marked the birthday anniversary OF
Washington at the public school audi
forum seems impossible, but abund-
ant proof was given by the enthusi-
asm of the unusually large audience.
Under the direction OF the teachers OF
the primary grades, Miss Bessie Pye,
Miss Dollie Highsmith, Miss Mary
Yeomans, and the teacher of music,
Miss Hutcheson, the pupils Of this
department reflected great credit on
the school in their manner of present
ing the excellent program, the best
ever given in the opinion OF a large
number OF those present
In perfect harmony with the exer-
cises was the stage setting, red hatch
cts being very prominently displayed
against a frieZe OF southern smilaX.
A veritable cherry tree full OF ripe
fruit grew n&ar a llte-size portrait OF
Washington, the national colors drap-
ing the picture. Notice of Washing
toms death and burial was read from
an old copy of the Ulster County
Gazette, a treasured possession OF
John Hamilton, a pupil of the school
This interesting copy, yellow with age
bears the date of January 4, 1900
While every feature Of the entertain
ment was made notable by the little
actors special mention should be made
of the stately "Minuet" and the grace
full flag drill, both almost faultlessly
executed.

the fish was normal. Just how it took
