In Time.

Is failing health making you un-

ache and stabbing, rheumatic twinges?
Then look to your kidneys. The kid
neys are the blood-flters. Once they
weaken, the whole system is upset.
You have dizzy spells, headaches and
urinary irregularities. You feel all
worn-out. Use Doan's Pills-a slim
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. Thous-
ands recommend Doan's. Here is Daw-

COUNTY FAIR NEXT
FALL IS ASSURED
LEGION POST IS SPONSORING
MOVEMENT, AND FEELS
MUCH ENCOURAGED.

That county fair will be held at
Dawson next fall is practically assur-
ed. according to those who are behind
the movement.
Recently the local Legion post con.
ceived the idea of an exhibition OF
Terrell county products and resources
next October, and a committee,
consisting of Carl Melton, 5. + Ken
yon, E. E. Cooke, d. F. Darlington
and Clyde Newman, was appointed to
ascertain what support the pubic
would give the project. Although the
committee has not finished their IN
vestigation and formulated their re-
port The News has been informed by
Mr. Karl Thompson, commander OF
the post that there is no doubt OF thee
fair being held The business men OF
the city have received the proposition
with favor, and many OF them have
already pledged their support and as
sistance.
1t will be necessary to raise approx
imately $4,000 to pay premiums and
defray other expenses. and this amount
will have to be guaranteed by the bus
mess firms, banks and professional
men OF the city unless it can be rails
ed by the sale OF concessions to amuse-
ment enterprises.
No details have yet been worked
out, but besides agricultural, live
stock and domestic science displays 1t
is proposed to devote one day to the
schools OF the county and also have a
governors day" on which the chief
executive of the state would be present
and make an address, There would also
be amusements of various kinds to
entertain the crowds.
A good fair would be worth a great
deal to Terrell county and Dawson in
many ways, and the movement de-
serves and should be given the earn
est support of every citizen.
AS soon as the plans for the fair
materialize and definite action is taken
The News will give full particulars and
all details.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Mr.. ]. c. Dukes, county schooi SUI
perintendent, returned Saturday from
Wilcox county, where he spent the

ing to Mr.. Dukes have been consoi-
idated into districts, and SIX OF tne

ern Two other buildings have recent
" been remodeled
The districts have voted bonds to

auto trucks which are used tor trans
porting the children are also owned
by the districts. The new buildings
range in value from $1,000 to SoOOUO,
and are modern in every respect.
Each consolidated district leWeS a
district tax to maintain It's school
This is in addition to the county wide
tax OF FIVE mills, which IS levied by
the county board OF education. In those
districts where new buildings have
been erected and where remodeling
has been done an additional levy OF
five mills is made to retire the bonds
Rochelle and Abbeville were for
merly independent systems. Recently
these towns have come into the coun-
ty system, and there seems to be a
feeling that the change was wise one.

1900 TO 1000 VOTERS
REGISTER BY AFFIDAVIT

The practice of securing registra-

third and last registration for gen.
eral election has become so popular
with both parties that the Middlesex
county Board of Elections was ac-
tually swamped wnen 1t started TO
tabulate the 1,500 or 1000 affidaYits
before it this morning. These late
arrivals" are supposed TO represent
the registrations of only those who,
because of illness or their being OUT
of the city, were unable to register
on the regular registration days.
This years number of affidavit
registrations is far greater than ever
before and indicates the work being
done by both parties to get out suffi-
cient votes TO win this falls election.
The county board has received
requests for SOC or more absentee
ballots. The application by the La

names, was fatty refused by the
