EXPECT TO SHIP TWO
CARLOADS CHICKENS
WIDE INTEREST IN THE APP
PREACHING COOPERATIVE
SALE AT DAWSON.

Interest is running high in the pro-
posed chicken sale, which will take
place in Dawson the latter part OF
April.
Messrs. H. A. Petty and R. D..
Smith, the promoters of this move
ment in Terrell county, are receiving
many inquiries in regard to the mat
ter, not only from those in this i'm
mediate section interested in the
chicken business but from many in
other counties who wish to get in on
this first sale, and it now appears that
two carloads of chickens instead OF
one will be shipped from this point
AS an evidence of the widespread in
terest in chicken raising in this COM
munity is a fact that two thousand
baby chicks, only one of many orders
have just been received by local chick
en- raisers, being in addition to the
ten thousand which were reported in
the last issue of The News.
The chicken business has received
great boost, and Terrell, already
famous as a cotton growing county,
will add to her laurels by leading in
the poultry business, which is destin-
ed to mean much in the bringing OF
general prosperity.

homes on its principal streets but that,
as a chain is no stronger than Its
weakest link, so the health conditions
of a community are no sounder than
its most unsanitary market and the
most poorly kept premises on its out
skirts. 1t knows that without the CO.
operation OF an enlightened public and
its chosen officials, a town cannot be
made safe for its children. No matter
how carefully the individual home may
be safeguarded unless the town is
made clean and kept clean the child
in the home of exquisite neatness,
guarded by the wisest motherhood,
must take its chances. with the little
human weed of the alley against the
infections and illness that may result
from unsanitary conditions.
This town has already enacted
among its laws those measures which,
enforced, make of it wholesome
dwelling place, well kept from curb
stone to alley, from its center to its
outskirts, pleasing to the eye and sat
isfying to ones sense of pride in his
home. 1t has likewise those more i'm
portant measures that can reduce to a
minimum the two enemies OF health
against which almost every communi-
ty has to wage unremittlng warfare
the fy and the mosquito. With the
strict enforcement of its laws regard
ing stables and the proper disinfecting
and disposal of garbage and waste
our town may amazingly abate the
disgusting menace of flies. If the same
rigid enforcement is applied to our
city drainage and the disposal OF
open wells while an unrelenting in
spection sees to it that no premises
harbor standing water in tubs or even
old tin cans the mosquito nuisance
and the ills traceable to these pests
NAV be eliminated. Absolute regard
for the city ordinances regarding the
care of meat and the screening OF
meat markets, groceries and bakeries
are OF the utmost Importance. Laxlty
in the enforcement OF these laws IS
ALWAYS a menace to the health of the
community.
1t is matter of congratulation that
Dawson is one of those Georgia cities
that employ the best available means
of maintaining high standard OF ex-
cellence in their water supply. She
can afford to be satisfied also with
nothing less than the utmost care in
regard to her food supplies.
The Dawson Woman's club is as
suredly one in purpose with those
who purpose to make of this a city
beautiful safeguarding to the limit OF
its ability the health OF its people and
conserving with every needful meas
ure the safety and soundness OF its
children.
