WILD ANIMAL SHOW
COMING TO DAWSON
LEE BROS. WILL GIVE UNIQUE
AND ORIGINAL PERFORM
ANCE ON OCTOBER 5TH.

Judging from the information at
hand, Lee Bros Wild Animal Show
must be the standard of excellence by
which all other amusement enterprises
should be measured When this show
exhibits in Dawson on Monday, Oc-
tober 5th, for> the first time, it is said
that the foundation for this assertion
of superiority and magnitude will be
apparent The Lee Bros shows have
grown to a triple-featured enterprise
that is more comprehensive than any
other tented institution 1t is the most
unique and original animal show ever
seen and has a special feature an East
Indian exhibition and Hindoo festi-
val that would rival the feast of Bel
shazzar and cast into oblivion the
Oriental grandeur and glories of the
famous Arabian Nights. In enlargng
for its zenith no effort or expense has
been spared to build an exhibition OF
such tremendous scope that failure in
reaching the coveted ranking position
in the amusement world would be i'm
possible. That success has attended
the effort is now. a matter of record
This exhibition of Lee Bros. is dis
tinctively different from any other
show. Individually, each from q
standpoint of extent or worthiness
they would compel the attention and
admiration, and in the manner they
are presented they make proposition
that is as gigantic as it is irresistible
Included in the performance is ev-
cry sort of trained animal that no 9TH
er show can boast about and many
startling events that no other shows
present.
There are two performances given
daily and a grand street parade will
be given at II O'Clock in the morning

WANT SCHEDULE SEABOARD
PASSENGER TRAINS CHANGED
Favored by Dawson and Albany and
Opposed by Richland.

Some time ago the Dawson klwanis
club took up with the officials of the
Seaboard Air Line railroad the ques-
ton Of restoring the old schedule be-
tween Columbus and Albany, when
the passenger train from the former
place arrived at Dawson at 1884 and
returned at ESQ. Albany also request
ed the change and the railroad COM
mission authorized that it be made.
but it was held UP on complaint OF
citizens of Richland
In reply to a recent letter from Mi.
r. R. Marlin, secretary of the Kiwanis
club, the superintendent of the Sea
board states that the officials OF the
road cannot do anything in the matter
and suggests that it again be taken up
with the railroad commission. Under
the present schedule the passenger
train from Columbus now arrives at
Dawson at 6 O'Clock in the evening and
from Albany at 1920 in the morning

DAWSON NEGRO GROWS
COTTON IN ILLINOIS
ZOE COLES PICTURE AND HIS
6-STALK CROP PRINTED IN
A SPRINGFIELD PAPER.

Toe Cole, hotel porter in Dawson
foy many years and remembered by
.,,anv here, went north some years
rgo He is now in Springfield, ILL.,,
md is showing the people there how
cotton is grown. Some months ago
he wrote to Mr.. H. A. Petty for a
lew cotton seed, and no more, was
+boupht of Joe until Friday, when
here came to Mr.. Petty a copy of
tbe Springfield Republican containing
. picture of the former Dawson negro
and his cotton plantation" of six
stlIks, with lengthy writeup from
vbich the following is taken:
IA bit of way down south is grow
mo unobtrusively in the railroad yard
nn 9 fine west side. Amid the smoke and
soot and CRIME pouring forth from
the Boston and Albany engines some
cotton plants are sending out their
beautiful blossoms, cream colored
blooms that turn pink in a day. Bolls
are forming on the six plants growing
st1rdily in large red tub. Joe II. Cole
works on the platform nearby, picking
',n rubbish and trying to keep things
sIicked up: They are his cotton plants
and he is right proud of them too.
@Why shouldn't he be? Here is
probably the only cotton plantation"
IN the vicinity. This is Coles third
croD of cotton. Raised in Alabama, he
has worked in the cotton fields great
deal in his life. Three years ago he
haDpened to think what a novelty it
would be to folks up here to see some
cotton growing. So he started to raise
some This year he sent for some spe-
c;allv. fine seed which came all the
wav from Dawson, Ga And his cot
ton plants have been curiosity and
wonder to a good many people. Who
would expect to see bit OF the sunny
south amid the black cinders OF a rail
road ward? But there it is.
III folks will confine their inquls-
t;veness to admiration and refrain from
nickine the bolls while they are ma
turing during the netx few weeks, and
# the frost holds off long enough
there will be some honestto-goodness
cotton hufing its way into the railroad
breezes across the river. However, IN
diyidual acquisitiveness at present
seems to threaten the extinction. OF all
the bolls. For Joe has other things to
do beside watching his crop and No
Trespassing signs would seem bit
out Of place in flower pot.
in his later life he worked for
many years as a porter in a hotel at
Dawson, Ga. He recalls serving Will
liam Jennings Bryan. He came to this
city about FIVE years ago, but he still
keeps his mind on the south. And
when his children have grown up he
thinks he will return to the land where
the wild flowers grow more rlotously
and where cotton is nothing OF a
novelty"

EDWARDS WRITES
ABOUT CITY COURT
TELLS WHY HE THINKS THAT
1T WILL BE A MISTAKE
TO VOTE 1T OUT.

In a few days the people Of Terrell
county will vote upon the city court
and determine whether or not it shall
continue. For several years | was the
Judge of that court. but have tender
ed my resignation to Governor Walk
er to take effect October 1st next |
am now free to express my views
without any interest in the court more
than any other citizen of this county.
Public institutions are established for
the public good, and not as money
making corporations; if the fact that
an institution costs money is sufficient
to destroy it we would Immediately
close our churches, suspend our
schools and abolish all courts.
The gettingOof gain is not the chief
object of existence. Civilization is
founded upon the reign of law; with
out law the weak and helpless are at
the mercy of the strong and cruel;
law is useless without the means to
enforce it; courts are the means.
If you will call the roll of the up
to-date, progressive counties of Geor-
gia you will find that with few eXcep-
tons each one has either a city court
or more than two terms of the supe-
rior court.
Examination of the record of the
City Court of Dawson will disclose
the fact that it has been conducted on
the most economical basis, the aver
age cost of a case to the county being
less than $500, which is small cost
even for a justice court.
If the people of Terrell had retain
ed their old wooden court house, their
little wooden school buildings and
their old fashioned wooden churches
these institutions would have function
ed in some manner. But who loves his
county so little as to wish to regain
money SO spent? Likewise the abol-
ishment Of the city court will be step
backward; it will retard progress and
Developments it will class Terrell with
the unprogressive counties, and will
be, in my opinion, great mistake.
Very truly M. G. EDWARDS.

marked the stork. But not all.
Well, l shall begin.
First of all there is Billy Blue
Heron. He is not as particular
about the place he lives as we storks
are. You may find him anywhere
near water, almost. He likes to eat
fish,-and l am afraid he is in dis
grace a lot of the time as he eats
the children of birds also. We are
not SO proud of Billy in our family,
so We aren't-although l heard one
time that he had received a medal
for eating more rats and mice and
snakes than any other bird around.
Billy isn't always blue-sometimes
he has green on him, and black. But
he has a big brother who is enor-
nous. He is as large as am and
wears a black crown. He is very
handsome"
"Is that all?" asked Nancy.
"My, MOI" said the stork, shifting
from one leg to the other. Il haven't
begun yet. Why, l haven't even
finished with the herons."

So the stork continued, 1--WE have
another queer cousin who is called
the purple heron. And what do you
think he does?"
WHAT" everybody said quickly.
"Fishes at night" said the stors
calmly, land sleeps all day. Must

has eyes like a Gator an owl. He's
beauty, too! As purple as an
Easter egg. But speaking of Easter
eggs. There is still another cousin
Of ours of whom we are very proud.
He is not only very big. but he has
all the colors of the rainbow. He is
called the Goliath Heron.
"And them" sighed the stork, 1--WE
have another, still another heron
cousin who causes US much sadness.
He is pure white heron and people
hunt him for his feathers-called
egrets.~ It's really his wife they are
after, as her feathers are so much
finer than his"

Bill. TITS shame, tool"
Suddenly the stork began to laugh.
"We have. funny COUSIN" said he.
HE thinks he can sing, but he
sounds more like bass drum. He's
called Boomer, the Bittern. YOU
should hear him. And oh, must
tell you about some more cousins

New York, May 7.-Ancient sport
fans may recall that some time back
in the early fifties there was staged
in London the Heenan-Sayres fight,
which attracted international atten-
ton.
There were no cables 20 the papers,
no airplanes to rush pictures, as In
the Dempsey Gibbons fights, no en-
terprising newspapers 10 issue extras
and to obtain the details, there was
nothing TO do but wait until the next
boat from London brought the Eng
fish papers.
But it so happened that there was
one enterprising youth with plenty
of forethought. He was a newsboy,
selling papers in front Of the Hotel
New York. His name was August
Brentano.
1t occurred to him that there
would be large demand for COM
plete results and he made advance
requests for a large order of London
papers.
When the boat arrived Brentano
was at the dock and "cornered the
market" Before the day was over
he was selling papers for 81 each
and cleaning up.
With this money was laid the
foundation for the firm of Brentano,
probably the largest bookselling con-
Germ in America and the incident was
recalled few days ago when Bren-
tanos took over new building in
New York with floor space of
10000 square feet to be used entire
ly for books, magazines and other
publications.
From the street stand, August
Brentano set himself up with book
stand in 1868 on the site of his prize
fight scoop"
He believed there was a large
American audience for European
newspapers and for a long time he
featured chiefly the foreign Ian
guage papers. later adding books and
magazines.
And he was right!
The most popular pastime of the
