CREAMERY HAS AROUSED
INTEREST AMONG FARMERS
Runaor of Two Such Enterprises Is
Given Little Credit.

The matter of establishing cream
cry in Dawson, which is already well
under way, has aroused considerable
interest in this section and has given
decided boost to the dairy business.
The promoter of this enterprise will
in a short while have something in
teresting to give to the public.
The rumor current that two cream
cries will be operated can hardly be
credited To concentrate on one 1t
would seem is the only hope OF making
a success of the undertaking. The i'm
portance OF this movement and the
possibilities of far reaching benefit to
the farmers of Terrell county has not
been fully realized. 1t will be posi-.
Bile for every farmer to have a herd OF
his own when there is we'll estab-
lished creamery where dairy products
can be prohtably marketed. There is
no doubt that it can be made a pay
ing industry.

Prevent Leasing of Postof1ce.
Seeing in the proposal of the gov
eminent to lease a building for term

the Dawson postoffice still longer de-
lay in the erection of the public build
ing at Dawson which was authorized
ten years ago, Secretary R. r. Marlin

Kiwanis Club, has in the name OF
those organizations, written strong
letter of protest and sent copies to
Senators w. J. Harris and Thos. Z.
Watson and Congressman Charles R.
Crisp, urging them to use their intiu-
ence to prevent long lease, and to
make every effort to have the depart
ment to again advertise for bids for
the erection of a postoffice building
on the, site that was bought for that
purpose some years ago. A petition OF
similar import, signed by practically
every business and professional man

Ito Washington.
A number of public buildings have

Citizen Writes About
Dawson S Postohce Needs
Saws Present Building Is Unsanitary
And Would Not Delay Building.

Editor Dawson News: | understand
that there has been circulated in the
CITY a petition to defeat the removal
Of our postoffice from its present
quarters. and that it asks our United
States senator's and member of con-
gress to use their influence to prevent
Hts removal. | would ask those sign
ling this petition if they read what they
were signing and if they have exam
lined the conditions, sanitary and 9TH
erwiSe, existing in the present quar-
tiers of our postofice. | feel that many
signed said petition without giving the
matter due thought as to comfort and
health OF the postofice employees as
ing to needs Of the postal service in
our city. If Tor any good reason such
removal should be opposed, why not
investigate the situation before jump
ing at conclusions and opposing it?
Why not the Chamber of Commerce
investigate the matter in a business
manner; appoint committee to look
INTO the conditions of the present
building, especially the sanitary condi-
tons, and make an unprecedented re-
port OF what they find, and also find
out il the present anticipated move
will delay the erection of govern
ment building in our city?
AS | understand the situation it is
not to delay our proposed building,
but 1t is to give our city more up
to date Office until we can get the
government building. Certainly the
people of Dawson are not opposed to
move that will benefit not only the
service but will give the town a more
respectable postofice and improve the
sanitary conditions surrounding the
poStottlce employees. l am sure the
postmaster or any OF the clerks will
De glad to give any one information

Posed government building and erect a

material and labor within the present
appropriation, | am sure the town will
