THE CITY WILL SINK
ANOTHER DEEP WELL
WILL INCREASE CITY WATER
SUPPLY AND INSURE BET
TER FIRE PROTECTION.

Dawson will have another deep
well, which will increase the city's
water supply.
/ The city council, at its May meet
ing, decided to let the contract for the
sinking of an auxiliary we'll and the in
stallation of a new pump The water
and light committee was authorized
to let the contract to the lowest bid
der.
The old we'll has been considered,
for long time, inadequate should
there be immediate demand for a large
+ quantity of water. In the event OF
trouble with the pump or other ma
chinery now used in connection with
the citys water system grave dan
ger might arise With the new well
every possibility OF a lack OF sufi-
cient water will be eliminated The
latest electric pump will be installed,
which will nearly double the efficiency
| of the new we'll over the old one.
The mayor will notify the Insur-
ance Underwriters Association after
the we'll has been sunk of the addi-
tional water supply, and it is hoped
that insurance rates will be lowered.

meeting, and again urged payment OF
$50 for his dog, which was killed by
an official of the city in enforcing the
new dog ordinance. Mayor McLendon
stated that SIS would be paid for the
death OF the dog, which was refused.
1t is not known whether Mr. Young
will resort to the courts in an effort
to force collection OF the sum he is
| demanding.

The Country Store Date
Has Been Set for May %
A Lottery System Will Be Used by
Legion to Dispose of Goods

The American Legion are much
elated over the Country Store which
they will sponsor at an early date
This sale is made possible by man
ufacturers who desire that the people
of Dawson and viGinity become bet
ter acquainted with the quality OF
their respective products, and more
than 80 manufacturing firms already
have donated goods and many more
are expected to do SO. The number
OF articles to be sold is now approx
imately 5000.
The Legionnaires plan to run their
store on the lottery system. Every
article in the house will be numbered
and check with the corresponding
number sold for ten cents. The pur-
chaser will then get what he or she
has bought. Every article in the house
will be worth the amount OF the ticket,
and hall of them will range in price
from Is cents to $500. Iced teas coca
cola and orange crush will be served
free The purchaser cannot lose on
this proposition, for if his number
should call for only ten-cent article
he would be a drink ahead OF the
game. In fact, it will be paying
proposition for all. The veterans will
get the returns from the sales, the
purchaser will get more than his mon
ey's worth with drink thrown in,
and the manufacturers who donated
their products will get many new GUS
toners and valuable publicity.
The store will be located at Hill &
Hills warehouse on Thursday after
noon and night, May goth. Several
entertainment features are being
planned for the occasion.
Several of the manufacturers have
arranged to give demonstrations OF
their products during the sale.

DAWSON LOSES TO
THE CUTHBERT TEAM
IN A ONE-SIDED GAME THE
RANDOLPH LADS POUNDED
THE SPHERE FIERCELY.

The Dawson boys seemed off their
usual good form when they played
the Cuthbert bunch, the third time,
Thursday afternoon on the latter
teams diamond. Bell, who so COM
pletely had the number of the Ran
dolph boys on the occasion of their
game at Dawson, was batted cd the
field in a fraction of an inning. 1t GER
tainly did not look like the Bell of
old, the >southpaw who had pulled the
local team from many holes, who fac
ed the hardy looking batters. Bell
threw only four balls across the plat
ter, and was knocked for three hits
in that time. Turner relieved Bell and
pitched the remainder of the game,
giving up several hits himself,
1t was nearly case OF three up
and three down for the local boys. H.
Joiner, the Cuthbert moundsman, re-
tired p men during the course of the
game Only three hits were obtained
off Joiner The Cuthbert lads were
very free in the use OF the ash also.
They pounded the old apple in every
corner OF the lot. Nine runs were made
by them to none by the locals The
Dawson boys had no time to run;
they were too busy going to and from
the field Unless player stood third
on the batting list for the coming in
ming he would make no effort to come
out OF the field but simply sit down,
along with the Cuthbert felders, for
the short space of time necessary to
strike out three men.
The teams were about equal, each
having FIVE errors to their credit, The
Dawson team should really be classed
as the best team when it came to
handling the ball, for they made only
FIVE. errors while playing with the ball
constantly; it was almost impossible
for the Cuthbert bunch to make a
bad play since the pitcher and catch
er were the only ones to handle the
bali to any great extent
The Dawson boys have one more
whack at the Randolph aggregation,
and it is hoped that Bell will have the
stuff, as he did the day he retired so
many of the Cuthbert lads.
