Mineau will continue as editor and
Mr.. Bolden as business manager.

sire to help young race man, the

ent. He became the publisher of the

tablished September. 1921, as a
monthly and later as weekly. Mr..
Chestnut passed away after brief
Illness in the spring Of 1919. Since
that time the paper has had a varied
career. January 1. 1924. Mr.. Howell
acquired the Appeal. which was
founded in 1855. from the estate Of
the late John @. Adams. who had
been its editor and publisher for
thirty-six years up to the time Of his
death, resulting from being struck
by an automobile. and merged the
two papers into one enterprise un-
der the name Of the Bulletin-Appeal.
After the death Of Mr.. Adams, his
only son, John O.. Jr.. who had been
brought up In the newspaper busi-
ness by his father, and who IL prac-
tical all around printer ss well as one
Of the best "make-up" men in the
country. continued the publication Of
the Appeal until the merger was
effected.

Ger not be given to some one merely
for the purpose OF providing him with
salary from the city treasury, but
that the office be filled with one who
has at least some knowledge OF hy-
giene and medicine and is qualified in
a measure to discharge the duties OF
the position. The election to this office
was deferred until JAN 18th, when it is
expected that a representative OF the
state health department will be pres

DR.. Kenyon also discussed the
smallpox situation and stated that
nothing like an epidemic Of the dis
ease was prevalent. The total number
OF cases in the city was 10, some of
which among negroes, he said, were
OF much expense to the city. He de
clared that should the city have to
care for many more cases detention
camp should be established and all
patients dependent upon the city for
aid be sent there.

ALL OUT OF SORTS?
so WAS THIS DAWSON WO-
MAN, WHO TELLS HER
EXPERIENCE.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doans Pills-a stimu-
liant diuretic. This Dawson case is
one of many:
Mrs. Ia. S. Dozier, 4O2 Vine street,
says: Mornings l woke up with a
severe pain in my back. Many times
| got up with a terrible headache and
walked the floor about four o'clock in
the morning. My kidneys acted too
often and my feet bloated so badly
l couldn't wear my shoes. Doan's
Pills helped me right away and three
boxes cured me of the ailment."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Pills-the same that Mrs. Do
zier had. Foster Milburn Co., Mfrs,

HARVEY BRIDGES HAD BAD
SMASH-UP NEAR SHELLMAN
Ford Roadster Turned Over When 1t
Struck Another Ford Auto.

The Ford roadster belonging to Mr..
c. f. Bridges was badly damaged on
Wednesday night when it ran head-on
into a Ford driven by Mr.. Roy
Crittenden just out OF Shellman.
The accident occurred at late hour
when Harvey Bridges and Charlie
Brown were returning to Dawson
from Shellman and Mr.. Crittenden
and lady companion were re-
turning to Shellman after attending
a dance i'll Dawson. The cars were
going at fair rate OF speed in the
deep ruts OF the road and neither
was able to move to the side IN time
to avoid a collision The car driven
by Bridges turned over and the wind
shield was broken and considerable
damage done to the frame and front
OF the body. Young Bridges sustain
ed minor cuts about the legs. The
Shellman car sustained a broken ra-
dius rod and was otherwise smashed
about the front
The accident was unavoidable and
was directly due to the bad road and
not to carelessness of either driver

COOPERATIVE HOG
SALE NEXT THURSDAY
HOPE TO SHIP SEVERAL CAR
LOADS OF PORKERS. MANY
BUYERS WILL BE HERE.

Another cooperative hog sale will
be held in Dawson on Thursday OF
this week. The sale gives promise OF
being even more successful than that
conducted a few weeks ago, when a
large number of porkers were brought
to Dawson by the farmers of Terrell
county and disposed of at good prices.
Interest in the coming event is wide
spread among the hog rasers OF this
section.
The sale Thursday will be carried
on at the pens of the Seaboard Air
Line railway, and the weighing and
grading will be in charge OF Mr.. O..
d. Watson, OF Richland. Those who
will offer hogs for sale are requested
to bring them to the pens early in the
morning in order that there may be
no delay in loading. Owing to delay
in arrivals. it was necessary for those
in charge Of the last sale to work tar
into the night to get the hogs aboard
the cars. and it is hoped to eliminate
this hardship upon the managers at
the coming sale.
There is apparently tendency
among many of the farmers OF Terrell
county to devote more time to hog
raising than they have for the past
wear or two, and the cooperative
sales. such as is proposed and as was
recently held, will undoubtedly prove
a great stimulus to the meat raising
movement.

BALL GAME AND CARNIVAL
Sale City Will Furnish Opposition
For Fray Seniors Entertain.

The senior class, in conjunction
with the boys basket ball team OF d..
H. S., are planning to give the peo-
pie Of Dawson a treat Friday night in
the form of basket ball game follow
ed by carnival
The Sale City aggregation will pay
the Dawson bunch call, and il hard
practice means anything the game on
Friday night will be a hummer. More
pep and school spirit is being exhibit
ed on the opening days OF school than
at any time previous, and a royal well
come will greet the visitors at the
game Friday night.
After the fray a big carnival con
sisting of a number of booths and at
fractions, will be staged. The profits
from this carnival will go to the ath-
letic association of the school to help
fill the badly depleted treasury.
The school earnestly pleads for the
support of the public, believing that
should they meet with more cooper
alton from the public that they would
be able to give the public better
games in return.
The program Friday night promis-
es to be we'll worth the amount invest
ed by the visitor.

while the revolt OF the Egyptians
against the British also is credited in
part to the soviet ENJOYS of Russia.
With ali this trouble in Europe,
however, there is no losing sight OF
the fact that the United States itself
is in danger from the 'red" menace.
The government of Mexico recog-
nized the soviet government OF Rus
STA, as did France, and, as does France,
lis having trouble.
Estanislao Petzkoesky is the Rus
sian ambassador in Mexico. He was
in the country only few weeks when
he issued several bolshevistic state
ments to the people Certain organs
of the press took sides with him, and
as result form OF red" propagan-
da is being conveyed to the people.
Few Russians in Mexico.
There are only few hundred Rus
slams in Mexico, so the work OF Petz-
koesky there can be but slight, it is
said.
Because of just this situation there
is cause for alarm in the United
States.
The Russian ambassador in Mexico
will not hesitate to spread the seeds OF
bolshevism in the United States when
it lies within a stones throw OF his
reach, political observers declare.
In fact there are some who believe
that Petzkoesky already has begun
his propaganda work directed against
the United States government, Soviet
agents will be sent into the United
States from Mexico, and soviet propa-
ganda will be taken with them, it is
feared.
Base in America.
The soviets have established base
in America Gin Mexico and the Unit
ed States will be deluged with soviet
doctrines as the latest victim OF the
communist idea
Thus will the bolshevsts be torg-
ing the last link in the chain with
which they are trying to get the en-
tire world in their grasp, political stu
dents says.
In eastern and in western Europe
and in America the sovlets have es-
tablished outposts in their campaign
to overthrow good government and
substitute in its place reign OF rev
olution, poverty and anarchy, 1t IS de-
clared.
