The third and final of a series of
sermons on the "Sin Streams Of DaW-
SON" delivered fifteen years ago by
the Rev. O. B. Chester at the DaW-
son Methodist church, dealt with the
sanctity OF the marriage vows and
contained a strong arraignment OF the
social evil. Among the statements
made by the minister were:
There is no word in our language
more tender than home Ask some
men for definition of all tear and
they will say: 1T is drop OF saline
fluid secreted by the lachrymal gland
and is diffused between the eye and
the eyelid That is exact and scientific,
but the definition is too narrow. So,
some peoples definition of home IS
too narrow. The word is 50 closely
united in the sacred association OF love
that it cannot be broken save
by that which contains the essence
of he'll
Marriage is the foundation OF the
the home and the family" The preach
er declared it was a sin to be divorced,
and called attention to the fact that
Jesus based his teachings upon the
idea of the family and home, OF which
marriage in turn is the foundation.
The sermons were well attended
and highly complimented by those
who heard them. Favorable comment
was made in newspapers of neighbor
ing towns.

A campaign to clean up Dawson
was launched by the Civic Improve
ment club to effect general overhaul
ing that will put our little city in
shape that we can welcome strangers
without having to hang our heads in
shame over the dirty streets and 9th
err unsightly things that have no place
in an up-to date and progressive COM
munity.
The club proposes to give every
man, woman and child a part in this
work. and to extend through The
News cordial request, and to have
faith enough to believe that every cit
izen will give his hearty cooperation
in this splendid undertaking"
The club deplored the lack Of parks
and announced the intention Of i'm
proving the land around the fire de-
partment building by planting shrub
berry and flowers and grass.

years ago were J. B. Kendrick, real

A statement, made by State Ento-
mologist +. l.. Worsham, that the boil
weevil would be in Georgia within
four years, in spite of all that could be
done, was published in this issue OF

The belief that there was oil under
the soil OF south Georgia was reCelV-
ing much prominence fifteen years
ago. The report made then was that
oil had been found near Folkston, in
Charlton county. A prospector, who
had worked in northern fields, was
so we'll pleased with prospects that
he leased 5000 acres of land and or
dered drilling apparatus for immediate
delivery.

Busy and Happy.

Idle danes their hands are wiring
ing, all the dragging hours are
bores; but my aunt is always sing
ing, as she goes about her chores.
Other aunts are vainly asking, How
shall we put in the time? While we
loaf, on cushions basking, every mo-
ment is a crime" Weary are the
aunts pursuing idle things, and trifles
light; there is nothing worth the do
ing, only boredom is in sight. Here
a maid or footman scuttles, saving
them all stress and Strain; here a
stately butler buttles, or a chuffer
drives their vain. Not an obstacle
surmounting, not an effort do they
know; all their labor is but counting
laggard moments as they go. And
they are not singing gayly as they
lounge in gilded state; life grows
sadder, duller daily, nothing can its
gloom abate. But my aunt is always
busy, making doodads out of -four /;
it would make an idler dizzy just to
watch her for an hour. She is chas-
ing to the garret, dust and cobWebs
to pursue; she is slicing up carrot
and an onion for a stew. Dusting
pictures, chairs and tables, she is
making quite stir; she is shaking
out her sables, which are made of
rabbits fur. She is cleaning nook
and Granny, chasing dust where'er
it turks, and she's singing Gentle
Annie" every minute as she works.
To improve the daily ration she
makes pickles by the quart; and her
only lamentation is because the days
are short.
