Maj. Pitner and his son, of Cohutta,

made the Citizen a pleasant call.
They were wearing the blue ribbon.
The Major says his district will give
Prohibition a flattering majority, not
withstanding the “antis” assertions to
the contrary.
An Evident Fact.
It is clearly evident that the advan
tage of any town or community lies in
multiplying domestic industries. Ev
ery new industry that can be maintain
ed, which supplies a want felt by the
people, is a clear gain in every way,
as employing workmen, keeping prof
its at home, using materials produced
here, paying wages that are spent
here, and tending to make us industri
ally independent. A diversification of
industries is the vital spark of any
town, and it should be the prime ob
ject of every enterprising community
to encourage their growth and estab
lishment.
How Now Shall we Tell the Snake’s Age?
The supposition that the number of
rattles on the end of the snake s tail
indicates the number of the reptile s
years, has been exploded by the recent
killing of two rattlesnakes in an adjoin
ing county, one of which, a monstious
fellow nearly five feet in length, boast
ed of only three rattles, while the oth
er snake, not quite three feet long, was
the possessor of twelve or thirteen.
Will some one versed in erpetology
o-ive a reason for the discrepancy in
the number of rattles, considering the
great difference in the sizes of the rep
tiles?
Marriages for September.
With the approach of the Autumn
comes an increase in the number of
marriages in the county, and the busi
ness of issuing linense is quite remu
nerative. So far the current month
the Ordinary’s record shows that the
following individuals have been grant

We learn from our efficient County
School Commissioner that the public
schools of the CpfiPty, which are about
closing, have been in a most prosperous
condition over the entire county—the
teachers better qualified than in past
years, the grades of the schools raise
find the attendance much arger. The
Commissioner is a hard worker and
leaves no stone unturned to benefit and
build up the schools under his super
vision. _

A New Route for the A. & C.
A correspondent of the Chattanooga
Times is in favor of the Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad taking a totally
different route from the one now under
preliminary survey—<T route that will
leave our section “out in the cold.”
He suggests that the road be built from
Gainesville straight up through Geor
gia to Murphy, in North Carolina, and
thence down the Hiwassee river to
Cleveland, Tenn., where it would con
nect with the East Tennessee railroad,
entering Chattanooga by that line.
This of course would save some 38
miles of track-laying, but the new road
would virtually become a division of
the E. T. system, and Augusta, the city
principally interested in the construc
tion of the road, would loose her inde
pendent air-line to the West, as well
as the trade of the richest section of
North Georgia, while an absolutely
new source of commerce would be lost
to Chattanooga. The route now being
surveyed has been long under.consider
ation, and it is conceded to be the
most practicable one in every respect
superior in all things to the "zigzag
route proposed by the Times’ corres
pondent.
The A. & C. Progresses.
The Augusta Chronicle of Sept. 9th
contained the following: The Execu
tive Committee of the Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad met yesterday af
ternoon. The officers of the road are
highly pleased with the outlook, and
feel satisfied that the road will be com
pleted to Gainesville within the next
nine months. A camp is to be imme
diately located at Gainesville and two
hundred hands started to work; one al
so at Danielsville with two hundred
hands, and one in Madison county with
two hundred hands, and two hundred
hands are to be added to the force at
this end of the road. “The outlook for
the great Western connection,” remark
ed a gentleman closely identified with
the project, “grows brighter and bright
er daily.”
Give the Girls a Chance.
The bill introduced by Representa
tive Russell in the Legislature, looking
to the establishment of a training
school for Georgia girls, is a commend
able one, and should have the support
of our law-makers. The number of
young ladies who are “sueing in the
busy walks of life for a livelihood” is
increasing every year in Georgia. That
their careful training in cooking, dress
making, wood carving, brass-beating,
painting, telegraphy, short-handwrit
ing, etc., should devolve on the State is
no more than just. Therefore, we com
mend Mr. Russell’s bill, as it gives the
girls a chance to secure a useful and
practical education.
“A Power of Okra.”
An unsophisticated denizen from
that quiet and peaceful county of Fan
nin, where the blessings and conven
iences of more advanced civilization
are unknown, was taking in the sights
of the city the other day, and while
standing upon a busy thorough fear
gazing with verdant admiration at the
wonders of the North Georgia metrop
olis, his attention was attracted by a
huge bunch of bananas pendant before
a fruit-stall. After examining the
fruit with puzzled curiosity, he turned
to an aquaintance, and with the utmost
simplicity, exclaimed: “Wall, by jings,
that’s a power of okra on that stalk!”
Found Dead in a Barn.
A negro man, aged about 35 years,
was found dead in a barn in the north
ern portion of the city Tuesday morn
ing last. He was recognized as a ne
gro named Bitting who has been wan
dering about the city for the past few
weeks in wretched health and partly
deranged from long suffering, and who
has been kept up by charitable dona
tions. He probably died quite sud
denly in the barn where he had, it is
presumed, sought shelter for the night.
A coroner’s inquest was held over the
remains, and the jury returned a ver
dict of death from natural causes.
A Small Fire.
The residence of Mr. Huff caught
fire early one morning a day or so ago
from a defective flue in the kitchen.
The flames were beginning to crackle
right merrily among the rafters and
shingles before discovered, but with
the assistance of some workmen, who
were fortunately passing the house at
the time, the fire was extinguished be
fore any serious damage resulted.
A Jewel of Great Tripe,
A Dalton lady is the owner of a
breast-pin which curiosity collectors
would no doubt give a good round sum
to possess. The pin is of great anti
quity, is oval-shaped and made of the
purest old yellow gold, and within a
circle of diamonds of the brightest lus
tre is a lock of Gen. George Washing
ton’s hair. It is said a most tempting
sum was once offered for this pin.
Murray County, as^Usual, Gets in tlie First
Bale.
The first bale of the new cotton
crop was brought in from Murray coun
ty last Friday and sold to J. H. Ken
ner, warehouseman, for 9 cents. The
cotton waa raised by B. Fairish, near
Woodlawn, and was classed as low
middling. Murray is always ahead of
Whitfield when it comes to the “first
new bale.”
Considerable now improvements are
going on in the city in the way of
erecting new buildings and enlarging
and improving old residences. The
growth of Dalton is not spasmodic, but
it is slow and solid. The population
to-day is all of eight hundred greater
than it was at the last national census,
which was something over 2,500 at that
time, 1880.
Mr. John P. Love, a competent ex
pert, has with great care made esti
mates of the amounts of money mvest-
ed in improvements in Dalton in 3 years
before and 3 years since Prohibition
went into effect, with the following
gratifving result: Iq 3 years after Pro
hibition, $188,610; in 3 years before
Prohibition, $24,700; difference in fa
vor of Prohibition, $163,910.
The great success of many agents
employed by B. F. Johnson A Cq., of

Effects of Prohibition.
The criminal docket of Whitfield
Superior Court shows that since Prohi
bition went into effect the criminal
business has decreased two thirds, or
from thirty-three to eleven indictments
per term. See Col. Green’s letter^ on
our first page showing the saving to
the county in court and jail expenses.
Prohibition was carried by an elec
tion in Feb. 1884, but did not go into
operation till July. Anticipating a re
duction of court and jail expenses, as
the result of Prohibition, the Commis
sioners of Roads and Revenues in 1884
reduced the county tax levy to 25cts
on $100. In doing so they overlooked
the fact that Prohibition, which had
just been voted, bnt had not yet gone
intef effect, could not act instantaneous
ly, like lightning, but required time to
produce its results. They were warned
at the time by Judge Freeman that
the reduction would bring the county
in debt, and it did to the amount of
$1,800. Had they waited till Prohibi
tion had time to do its perfect work,
they could have safely reduced the tax
levy below 25c. on $100. But by acting
prematurely they brought on the coun
ty a debt to be paid off. Then a storm
washed away many bridges; the court
house and jail had to be repaired; a
poor honse had to be built; a change
in the road laws reduced that burden
from 15 to 4 days work on the roads
and substituted a less onerous money
tax to keep up the roads.
Eighteen of the 45 cents levied for
1887 are for these extraordinary expen
ses. Bnt for the large saving in court
and jail fees, caused by Prohibition, a
much higher tax would have been ne
cessary. Hereafter if Prohibition con
tinues, the large savings in court and
jail fees can be applied to reduce taxa
tion, or to public improvements neces
sary, if Whitfield county is to keep step
with other portions of the New South
in the march of progress.
Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, it has pleased God, in his
inscrutable wisdom, to remove from
our midst Sister Shumate, one of our
beloved sisters in the church and an
esteemed member of our W omen’s Mis
sionary Society.
Resolved, 1st. That, as a church
and Missionary Society, we bow . sub
missively to the will of our merciful
Father, knowing he doeth all things
well.
Resolved, 2d. That our church and
Missionary Society will miss her pres
ence and influence, but her removal,
we hope, will only be an incentive to
intensify our efforts to meet her in a
fairer, better clime, in which, we be
lieve, she is basking in the smiles of
our Heavenly Father.
Resolved, 3d. That we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved
husband and children, and may God, in
his infinite compassion, pour the balm
of consolation into their hearts, and
sanctify her death, not only to their
good, but to the good of the church
and society, of which she was a con
stant member. May husband, chil
dren, church and Missionary Society
meet her in that beautiful home in the
beyond, prepared for those who love
and revere God here below.
Resolved, 4th. That these resolu
tions be recorded in our minute book,
a copy sent to the bereaved family, and
one to each of the city papers for pub
lication.

Tlie Proposed Confederate Home.
In view of the proposed home for
disabled Georgia soldiers, a Dalton
correspondent writes to the Atlanta
Constitution suggesting Dalton as a
most suitable location for such an in
stitution, and favors an appropriation
of $10,000 by the State for its main
tenance, and urges the importance
of bringing the movement to an early
conclusion. The correspondent says:
“Every patriotic citizen must rec
ognize the justice of our state doing
something for the many old confeder
ates who are now reaching a point of
destitution. When we recognize the
fact that poor men, of forty and fifty
years of age, composed a large part of
the confederate army, the number of
them who are without legs and arms,
and are still suffering from unhealed
wounds, and who have struggled for
twenty years, with many adverse cir
cumstances, for a poor existence—the
picture of these men sixty and seventy
years of age, and still uncared for—is
enough to move every heqrt which was
in the right place, during that unfor
tunate struggle.”
It has been reported by those op
posed to Prohibition that the amount
of taxable property has fallen off 30
per cent, this' year. J. W. Fincher,
tax collector, says that when he gets
all the property it will be $70,000 more
than last year, and $200,000 more than
last whiskey year, 1884. See J. W.
Fincher, tax collector, for these facts.

EX-GOV. A. H. STEPHENS’ COUSIN.
I am first cousin of the late Ex Govenor Al
exander H. Stephens, and have been postal
clerk on different railroads since 1885. For ten
years I have been a sufferer from a cancer on
my face, which grew worse until tlie d jscl;arge
of matter became profuse and very offensive,
I became thoroughly disgusted wit.L ’ 0 io 0 a
purifiers and pronounced them humbugs, as
I had tried many without relief.
Finally I was induced to use B. fl. which
was about the Isf of February, and continued
its use until the latter part of April. The of
fensive discharge decreased at once and the
hardness around the cancer disappeared. It
improved my general health and I rapidly
gained fiesii and strength. The discharge
gradually decreased and the cancer became
less and less in size until nothing regains ex
cept a scar to tell the tale of a or,ce dangerous
cancer. All who have seen me since I have
commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony
of my great Improvement, and the scar on my
face shows that it cured the cancer. I find
that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is
recommended and I cannot s^y too much in
praise of this wonderful medicine. 1 have
fried them all, but B. B. B. stands at the top as
a blood purifier.
The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.)
Banner-Watchman, being the vpli;ntai’y lan
guage of Mr. Jaxh©.Q A. Greer, which editor
Ggntf indorses:’
“Mr. Greer Is an honest, upright citizen of
Athens who had a bad cancer, and his numer
ous fiiends thought that he could Tiof five
very long, as the cancer wa$gradually sapping
the foundation of bis constitution, hut he now
looks well and hearty.”
2 AGAINST 18.
Several physicians haye pronounced my dis
ease blood poison, caused by paint or lead in
the paint, but they could not cure me. East
summer I used eighteen bottles of a largely
advertised blood medicine, which did me no
more good than so much water.
f'hgyc us;ed only two bottles of B. B. B. and
am proud to say that I have received greater
benefit from them than from the eighteen
and am now rapidly recovering. There fs no
question about the superiority GI over
all blood remedies. W.H. Woodv.

(Sickness in the Country.
Reports from the country indicate
that there is at this time more than the
usual amount of sickness prevailing.
Most of these troubles seem to arise
from an impure condition of the blood
caused by an excessive secretion of
bile. This causes fevers of a bilious
character, and we regret to say in some
places it has proved very fatal. We
therefore offer this gratuitous advice
to those not yet afflicted: Keep your
liver in a healthy condition, and your
blood rich and pure. Good blood
means good health, whilst bad blood
bad health. Hart’s Blood and Liver
Pills are entirely vegetable and are
just tho pills needed at this season of
!}he year.

Onr “Toltec” and ‘Oyster” brands of cigars
should bo nick-named “The Smoker’s De-
light;” try them; they have no equal in the
city. Among our mans- popular lines of
ZPEZRIFTTIMIIES
Are found Lundborg’s, Colgate’s, Gayles’ and
Solen Palmer’s. The latter has a world-wide
reputation, and needs no word of praise from
us. When you want something really fine,
ask for Palmer’s Odors. Solen Palmer makes
the finest Toilet Soaps in the world. We
keep them in stock These goods cost more
money than any similar line in the market,
but we sell them for the same money yon pay
for cheap goods. Use the best when yon have
to pay for them.
FFESGRIFTIOUS .
No department of the Drng business r«>.
quires as much oare and thorough knowledge
of Drugs, as Prescription Work. In view of
this fact, I have secured the services of
MR. H. W. SKINNER,
who has an experience of ten years, obtained
in two of the finest Prescription Drng Stores
in the state or Ohio. Parties having prescrip-.
tions filled by hjm may feel assured or getting;
just what the physician prescribes; his motto
is. “Acouyaey and no Substitutes.”
I am determined that Dalton shall have at
least ono First Class Drug Stove—one that
will be a credit to the town. Call and see us.
