COST OF PAINTING
TAKES A TUMBLE, TOO
COMING SPRING TO BE GOOD
TIME TO SPRUCE UP" rs
PER CENT DECLINE.

Undoubtedly the coming spring is
going to be the time to apply those
long needed coats of paint to the
house. and the renovating that has
been postponed since before the war
in many cases will be accomplished.
The opportunity comes with the re-
duction in the cost of paint. The de-
cline in mixed paint has been to the
extent of rs per cent even since De-
cember 20, according to a dealer.
Mixed paint was off 90 cents a gal
Ion last week and shows 81 decline
since December 20. White lead has
been reduced 1871 to IS cents pound.
Paint and every need of the painting
craft, it is ascertained, are now down
to a price that prevailed during the
first part of the war period,
The cost of sprucing up, it seems,
has been materially reduced, and Daw-
son should step forth in new colors
next spring.

CENTRAL RAILROAD
SUED FOR $25, 1000
MRS. GEORGIA NEWMAN ASKS
DAMAGES IN THAT SUM FOR
DEATH OF HUSBAND.

There was filed in the office OF the
clerk OF superior court Saturday a
damage suit against the Central OF
Georgia Railway company for $25,0OO,
Mrs. Georgia Newman asking that
sum for the death of her husband, J.
d. Newman, who was killed by the
early morning passenger train from
Macon at the Graves Station crossing
on October II, 1919 while en- route
to Dawson The suit was filed by M.
c. Edwards, of Dawson, and Reuben
and Lowry Arnold of Atlanta.
II is alleged that in approaching the
crossing where the accident occurred
there were various distractions to the
view, including cut a building,
trees, swamp and other objects. 1t
is also charged that the train was run
ming an hour late at a speed OF IS or
40 miles an hour and that the engineer
negligently failed to keep on the look
out ahead of the engine and tailed to
signal with bell or whistle as the train
approached the crossing.
= A $4,000 Suit Filed.
Another big damage suit has also
been filed against the Central railroad.
This suit is for $4,000, and is brought
by Mr. and Mrs. J. w. Goens, of Fit.
Gaines, for the death of their son,
John Clifford Goens, a young switch
man who was killed in the Central OF
Georgia yards at Americas on the
night of Oct. 9th last. The suit was
filed in the city court at Americas by
Attorney Ben M. Turnipseed, of Fl.
Gaines, and Sheppard and Ship, OF
Americas.
The circumstances surrounding the
exact manner of the death of Goens
were a mystery at the time of the ac-
cident, but the details apparently have
been cleared up, according to the pc
tition of the suit. This alleges that
while at work in the dark Goens
stumbled and fell over a large arch
brick of cement left by the track"
and also over a pile of cinders, falling
under the wheels of freight car and
being ground to death and horribly
mangled. 1t sets forth also that as he
worked at night he had no way of
becoming familiar with the obstruc-
tons along the track. He had been
in the employ of the road only day
or two when killed.
The petition sets out that he was
only p years of age, had an expect
ancy OF Al years, was earning $225
per month and therefore that his par
ents, his next of kin, are entitled to
recover $4,000 damages.

Many tin lizzies and other buzz
