VISIT DAWSON IN INTEREST
OF CENTENARY MOVEMENT
Prominent Men Speak in Dawson at
Methodist Church.

Rev. G. w. Mathews. of Fl. Valley,
secretary OF the South
Georgia conference, and Mr.. ]. F..
Rawls a layman of Virginia, whose
home is at Newport News. were in
Dawson Wednesday in the interest OF
the Centenary movement Of the Meth
odist churches Both were invited by
the pastor, Rev. Reese Griffin, to
speak at the prayer meeting hour on
Wednesday evening. They gave illu
statistics relative to the
progress OF the great movement, the
success which has attended the efforts
made to collect subscriptions, etc.
Both OF the speakers were optimistic
as to the successful completion of the
great task and it was evident that
each OF them have the enthusiasm and
energy necessary to carry on to final
victory in spite Of the natural depres-
sion caused by the present financial
condition. 1t was unfortunate that the
weather kept many away
from this exceedingly helpful and in
spring service. In spite of the rain
and slush, however, thirty-five were
present and were greatly pleased with
the earnest messages.

To Plant Pecan Trees
For Shade Purposes
Georgia Towns Begin Movement That
Is Profitable and Practical.

LOUISVILLE, Ga.-Of late in
many towns and one city, Augusta,
there has been much discussion as to
the planting of pecan trees for shade
purposes. 1t is pointed out that they
make a good shade tree, quite as good
as any other kind when properly car
ed for. At the same time they are
quite a commercial asset because of the
fruit they bear.
Many of the towns have begun a
program to replace all shade trees as
they die or are destroyed with a good
paper shell or some other well known
variety of pecan trees. Louisville be-
gan this practice some years ago and
by putting out something like 20 or
rs trees in addition to those that had
died the town now has more than 100
fine thrifty and rapidly growing pecan
trees. This work has been done by
the city council, which hopes that the
city i'll years to come can gather
a goodly sum OF revenue from cou-
pie of hundred or more OF pecan trees.

How to Have Good
Rural Mail Service
Employees of Dawson Postoffice Call
Attention to Ten Commandments.


Attention to Ten Commandments"
Employees of the Dawson postoffice
have requested The News to say to
the public that if efficient service is
demanded of the rural letter carrier
it is important that patrons cooperate
with him and the postoffice depart
ment by observing the following:
|. Thou shalt not ask the carrier to
address a letter, or wait for you to
address one.
2. Thou shalt not place loose change
in box; buy your stamps in advance
and stamp your letters.
3. Thou shalt have the proper
change when you want money or
der.
4. Thou shalt have your letters
plainly addressed with your return adj
dress written in upper left hand cor
ner
5. Thou shalt have your correspond
ents direct your mail to your route
and box number.
8. Thou shalt have your packages
securely packed and properly address,
ed Parcels are not maiable without
sender's address, or addressed with a
pencil.
7. Thou shalt have your box prop
erly erected with your name and num-
Der printed on it.
8. Thou shalt not ask the carrier for
a ride, as it is violation of the postal
laws for a carrier to carry any one
except a postal employe.
9. Thou shalt not ask the carrier to
carry or bring anything without post
age.
TO- Remember how impatient you
get when the carrier is late. When you
delay the carrier you also delay many
of your fellow patrons along the route.

In Ohio, perfected q vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver
and bowels which he gave to his patients
for years.

stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
