HAD BETTER EXAMINE YOUR $lO
BILLS AND SEE HOW MANY OF
THEM ARE COUNTERFEIT.
Counterfeit money is in circulation
in Dawson, and our citizens might do
well to examine their pocket change
and see how many of their $lO bills
are bad.
A few days ago Cashier R. I,
Saville of the Dawson National Bank
sent a torn $lO bill to the treasury
department ot Washington to be re
deemed, and he has received notice
that it is counterfeit money.
~And Uncle Sam, so particular is
he that his nephews shall have and
use nothing but the very best of
money, has retained possession of the
spurious ‘‘ten-spot,” thus reducing
the circulating medium in this sec
tion that much.
- The bad bill that fell into Cashier
Saville’s hands is a counterfeit of a
)bill issued by the Highland National
ll;ank of Newburgh, N. Y., and bears
\charter date of 1843,

egates will be entertained in the

S 0 as to have a representative at the

President Helps Orpnans.
Hundreds of orphans have been

Electric Bitters in this institution for
nine years. It has proved a most ex
cellent medicine for stomach, liver
and kidney troubles. We regard it
as one of the best family medicines
on earth.” It invigorates the vital
organs, purifies the blood, aids diges
tion, creates appetite. To strengthen
and build up thin, pale, weak chil

equal. Best for female complaints.

A STACK'OF_REPAIR WORK
ABOUT CAUGHT UP.
When the holiday rush was over
we found that we were snowed un

from the simplest job of jewelry re
pairs to the most complicated watch
work. We and our customers are
both thankful to know that we are
practically caught up again and con
now handle new work brought in
with dispatch. -
Our ever increasing amount of re
pair work gives us cause for pride
in the confidence of our many patrons
who have learned that a repair job
left at Adams’ Jewelry Store with
instructions to put in order is sure
to give satisfaction.

While Mr. W. E. Riordan was
coming to Dawson from Herod a few
afternoons ago in his big automobile
the car and a cur dog had a violent

and a dray had to be sent out from
the city to bring the remains of the
automobile in. Three of the wheels
of the machine were torn to pieces

ADAMS’ OPTICAL DEPART
MENT AGAIN IN ORDER.
During the holiday season when
it was almost impossible to make a
test of the eye on account of the
numerous disturbances in course of

space to handle the sales department
in a more convenient and expedient
manner, our optical instrument and
machines were moved out of their
proper place. They have been re
placed and our optical stock filled in
preparatory for our regnlar work in
this very important department.
Those who have been waiting for
the rush and confusion to get over
with are now invited to call and have

HAD A CONFERENCE ABOUT THE
NEAR BEER. NO AGREE
MENT WAS REACHED.
The committee appointed at the
recent meeting of citizens held to
protest against the licensing of the
sale of near beer in Dawson have had
a conference with the mayor and
council, and presented the resolu
tions that were adopted.
The conference adjourned without
satisfactory results or definite under
standing being reached. The com
mittee requested that the near beer
license ordinance be repealed, and let
any who desire to engage in the
sale of the suds do so under the
state law and without the sanction
of the city. If the council would
not do this the committee urged
that they then add the following
clause to the near heer ordinance:
“Nothing contained in this ordinance
shall authorize anyone to sell any
drink or beverage in the city of Daw
son containing any alcohol.”
The council took mno action on
either of the propositions, deciding
to postpone the whole matter until
the regular meeting of that body on
the first Tuesday in February.
The conference then broke up,
leaving the matter just as it was
|before.
NO MILITARY NOW.
Adjutant General Says He Will Sce
About It Later.
The News last week stated that
about sixty young men had met and
taken initiatory steps toward reor
ganizing the Dawson Guards under
the new state militia act.
But a halt, at least temporarily,
has been called in the movement.
The committee appointed to take
the matter up with the state military
department has received a letter
from Adjutant-General Scott stating
that he will consider the application
for enlistment after the close of the
inspection of the present state troops
in May. This committee was com
posed of Major H. A. Wilkinson,
Capt. D. C. Peddy and Lieut. J. E.
Morris.
There will be no military company
in Dawson until in the summer, if
then, wmless the adjutant-general
changes his mind.

W. R. Lipscomb of Washington, N.
C. “He took all kinds of remedies
and treatment from several doctors,
but found no help till he used Dr.
King’s New Discovery and was whol
ly cured by six bottles. He is a well
man today.” It’s quick to relieve
and the surest cure for weak or sore
lungs, hemorrhages, coughs and
colds, bronchitis, la grippe, asthma
and all bronchial affections. 50c¢ and

will be interested to know that he
has been appointed assistant man
ager of the New Orleans office of the

plicants after a competitive examina
tion, and is quite a compliment to
Mr. Parks.

Packing Meat in Ice.

ers in the county who have killed
hogs and packed the meat in ice to
cure it. There has not been a favor
able spell of cold weather this winter
in which to kill the porkers, and the
expense of keeping the hogs has been
heavy on the farmers.
