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 Doan's Pills-a stimu-
liant diuretic. This Dawson case IS
one of many:
Mrs. L. 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
| 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,

History of Terrell County
Compiled and Furnished The Dawson News for Publication by the
Stone Castle Chapter Daughters of American Revolution

had formerly served the congregation
for fifteen consecutive years.
There were present at this sermon
children. grandchildren and great
grandchildren OF those pioneer mem
bers who were instrumental in organ
izing the church 10 years ago.
The church was organized by stur-
DIV men and women who drifted down
from Maryland to the Carolinas, and
then into this section. The church
stands for God-fearing men and wo-
men first OF all and for integrity in
civil affairs. and it follows that these
founders and their descendants have
meant much toward building up fine
citizenship in that part of the county.
Among the oldest of the living de-
scendants are Mrs Martin McLendon,
OF Sasser. and Mrs. F. NJ. Jennings,
OF Dawson.
Some OF the pioneer members, long
since dead were William King, Billy
and Dennis McLendon, and these with
others are buried in the burial ground
around the former location OF the
church.
The church was moved to its pres
emf site. lust outside OF Sasser, in
1873. Since then markers have been
put over the graves OF those who lie
buried in that cemetery, and we copy
below some OF the oldest deaths:

Going south from Dawson one
leaves the closely settled districts and
turns into the sandy trail leading past
swamps with their moss laden trees,
giving out tropical odors, and by and
by they come to the clearing where
still stands old New Hope" Metho-
dist church, a church whose history
antedates that OF Terrell county.
On a week day the visitor finds an
silence as the little wooden
structure stands a mute guardian over
the graves OF its congregations OF
years gone by. On three sides OF the
building sleep these citizens OF the
days that are past and ii it were not
that some newly made graves remind
us that lie is still struggling with
