DAWSON is NEARLY
READY FOR CHRISTMAS
YULETIDE SIGNS AND DECO
RATIONS HAVE BEEN OUT
SEVERAL DAYS.

That Christmas is coming may be
safely said at any time of the year
but the saying has taken on much
more meaning during the past few
days Not only is Christmas coming
but it is about here.
The annual cry of shop early" has
already been sounded. A walk along
the streets will show the most casual
observer that he has only few more
days Of grace. Red and green" col
ors that from time immemorial have
been associated with Christmas, are
seen in profusion.
In the shop windows hundreds of
articles are waiting to be bought
They challenge the eye with brilliant
colors and almost equally scintillating
combinations OF words For Him"
heads a larger army Votes for Wo-
men" ever did and For Her" is as
prominent as Ito make the world safe
for democracy" ever was during the
feverish days before and during the
late disagreement in Europe.
Bundles of varying size and shapes
are being Struggled into almost every
home in Dawson. Il wonder if he will
find it here" and surely she won't
look here" are the questions OF the
moment. The youngsters have devel-
oped unusual interest in exploring
parts of the house that are perfectly
familiar to them at other times of the
year
Going into the woods, there is
mournful whispering of pines, and a
sad rustic of holly leaves. They, per-
haps, if trees feel that way, are the
only ones that are looking forward to
the yuletide with feelings dread. In
listing those who are looking forward
with this sensation it is in order to
name father and the boy who has a
girl"
There is a pronounced boom in the
demand for stockings of larger sizes.
The small boy ruefully contemplates
his spindly shanks and for the only
time in the year, envies the fat boy
living across the street. Accordingly,
Fat" for the one time in the year,
feels his Importance.
Christmas, however, is not without
its drudgery. There are the "eats" to
be prepared. Sometimes there is a
cook, sometimes there is not. Any
way, mother is on the job and will
have to continue so until the last dose
of castor oil is given and the last tin
horn ceases to blow.
With all of its marked improve
ment in, conduct on the part of the
younger generation; the redoubled
sweetness of the girls and the start
ling increase in the number of Eyes
sirs" accorded parents by boys, Christ
mas works both ways All of the
victims" of the changes are equally
effected by the spirit of the time and
if it were just known, the change OF
front would make mo difference.

SECTION CREW HAD CLOSE
CALL SATURDAY MORNING
Central Train Demolishes Car Near
Brentwood. None Hurt

B. S. Moore, section foreman for
the Central of Georgia railway. and
four members of his crew had narrow
escapes from serious injury when the
motor track car in which they were
riding was struck by the west-bound
passenger train about 3 miles north
Of Dawson Saturday morning. A
sprained hip, sustained by one OF the
negro laborers, was the extent OF the
injuries suffered by the crew.
The car driven by the section crew
was demolished, according to railway
officials. The pilot OF the engine that
struck the car was damaged also The
train, railway officials said, was run
ming about an hour behind its sched-
ule. The approaching train was. seen
by one of the negro laborers in time
to give the crew an opportunity to
jump from the car.
A heavy Jog prevented the section
workers from seeing the approaching
train in time to get off the track.

BASKET BALL SEASON
WILL OPEN THIS WEEK
LOCAL TEAM PLAYS MAR
SHALLVILLE AND RICHLAND
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

Lovers of the great indoor sport
are to have a real treat this weekend
when the seasons program starts off
with bang and two red-blooded bat
ties are offered Thursday and Friday
nights The fast team from Marshall
vile stops here to take on the local
five, and then moves on south on a
trip of invasion and will be followed
by the speedy Richland quintette.
The Dawson lads say that they hate
to discourage a team by beating them
on the start of series Of games, but
that there is nothing else to do. 1t
will be remembered that Marshallville
got the decision over Dawson on two
occasions last year and the red and
green are out to wipe out the mem
DRY of those games.
Then on Friday night the Richland
crowd comes to try their luck, and
this, too, promises to be battle roy
al 1t is said that Richland had a good
team las year and have returned
most of the players this year, so the
Dawson team is taking on quite a
man-sized job in tackling these two
strong teams on consecutive nights
but hope runs high and the Terrell
county boys are expecting to have
two victories to their credit when the
smoke has cleared away.
The Dawson team this year should
be mighty good, having returned last
years team intact, but are at dis
advantage with the two first games,
in as much as neither of the visitors
played foot ball and so have had a
good start of two or three weeks prac
tice over the home boys.
These two games promise plenty
of action and thrills. They will start
promptly at 7:15 o'clock, and the us
ual admission of 20 and IS cents will
be charged.

Emory Glee Club Gives
Good Performance Here
Large Crowd Turns Out in Spite of
Rainy Weather.

Despite inclement weather a crowd
that practically filled the Palace thea
ter turned out last Tuesday night to
hear the famed Emory University
G1ee Club, which gave the third con-
cert of its annual fall tour. The
audience was liberal with its applause
and the club responded likewise with
encores.
In practically every respect the club
came up to expectations. The pro-
gram was we'll balanced and the club,
as All organization and as individual
entertainers, gave a satisfactory per-
Torrance
The burlesque for which the Emory
G1ee Club is noted found its way into
the program in the form of a mis-
Interpretation" of a quartette selec-
ton from Rigoletto. The author OF
the burlesque evidently subscribes
intellectually to the theory that the
Homoresque was inspired by the sight
of a drunk man walking. and that 0
Sole MILO came from a composer who
had been kept awake the night be-
fore by feline performance on the
back yard fence.
The orchestra, which opened the
performance with a selection by OF
fenbach. came in for considerable
praise. Soloists from this body, when
they appeared were well rewarded for
their efforts.
The program was rounded out with
jazz and comedy skit in which the
actors, with the exception of their
voices, appeared quite like women.
The club is due, perhaps, some adj
verse criticism on the ground that
it } has not varied its style in
some time. The numbers of the pro-
gram were, of course, not identical
with those of past performances but
the same general effect has been Gre
ated year after year
