Judge Yeomans Makes
Many Friends in Early
His Able Charge to Grand Jury Caus-
es Much Favorable Comment.

Judge NJ. ]. Yeomans, who presid-
ed at the October term of superior
court OF Early county at Blakely, at
tracted much favorable comment for
the very able manner in which he
charged the grand jury in his initial
appearance, and an unusually large

elected much favorable comment from
those present
The Early County News, in its cur

about Judge Yeomans: Our people
have been more than pleased to have
Judge M. ]. Yeomans with them this

duties are new to him, he is making
a mighty fine start, and we predict
that his career as Judge in the Patau-
la circuit is going to be one of which
our people will be just as proud as
they were of his immediate predeces-
sor and the long list of able jurists
that have passed to their reward"

DAWSON HI DEFEATS
DOERUN TEAM 81 TO O.
OUTCLASS OPPONENTS IN ALL
STAGES. BALKELY WILL
PLAY HERE NEXT.

The Dawson Hi football team pried
open the home season Friday with a
clean cut victory over the eleven from
Doerun by the score of 81 to 0. The
game was never i'll doubt from the
minute the whistle blew Turner max
ing a beautiful sixty yard run for a
touchdown on the third play. Thorn
ton failed to kick goal, and the visi-
tors then received the kickoff
The second touchdown followed a
little later. On a series of line smashes
the ball was carried to Doerun's thir-
ty-yard line. A beautifully timed and
we'll executed forward pass from Gurr
to Hayes netted six points more.
Again the extra point was missed.
In the second quarter, in which the
superior driving power of the Daw-
son squad was clearly demonstrated,
Gurr carried the ball over for the
third touchdown. The half ended
The Doerun boys evidently took
advantage of the rest between halves,
for they came back with vengeance.
Several substantial gains were made,
but they were finally forced to sur
render the ball on Dawson's thirty
yard line After two line plunges Tur-
ner got away for fifty yard run and
the fourth touchdown. Hamilton then
kicked goal.
Doerun then received the kickoff
and started on a march down the
field only to lose the ball on a tumble
After some brilliant end runs and line
smashes Hamilton got loose for TWEEN
ty yards around right end for the final
touch down. He then kicked goal, but
as one of Dawson's men was off side
the extra point was not counted. The
game ended with the local team in
possession of the ball IL the shadow
of Doerun's goal
A survey of the game shows many
stars for the Dawson team Gurr hit
the line like a young tornado, and
Thornton, Turner and Hamilton all
m d G flashy runs for good gains
The entire line deserves special credit
for the excellent manner III which they
piled up line bucks and threw would
be end runs for losses. To pick indi-
vidual stars would be impossible, for
they all performed like veterans and
many spectators could hardly believe
that this was the same squad that had
faced Albany the week before
1t must be said to the credit of the
Doerun eleven that they put up a
game fight, but were poweress to
penetrate the superior line of the 10
cal team. They made substantial gains
around the TANKS of the locals, but
the Dawson team would tighten up
and force them to punt.
Next Friday the home team will
journey to Americas to engage the
A. and NJ school in combat. This
team is reported to be big and heavy,
and it remains to be seen whether the
Dawson forwards can stop the drive
of the A. and NJ. back-held The fol-
lowing Friday, October 10Th, the
Blakely high school team will play
here. This team is also very strong,
and will furnish the local eleven no
little trouble

dressed the congregation on "The
Baptist Worlds Alliance at Stock
holm" Mr.. Newton is a man of large
experience, keen observation, brilliant
mind and great power of description,
all of which contributed to most in
spring address. 1t was more of ser
mon than an address. 1t had been
a long time since anything was more
greatly enjoyed at the local church
than was Mr.. Newton
Another enjoyable feature of the
Sunday evening services was the tact
that Mr.. Jesse Chambliss led the con-
gregationah singing. Mr.. Chambliss
has a splendid soprano voice, and was
a great help in leading the congre-
CATION in the praise service. He has
consented to lead in the services for
several consecutive Sundays.

Baptist church in that special chill
dren's day program will be rendered
