MUST HAVE BETTER ROADS.
The People of Whitfield County Clamor
for Them.
Waring, Ga., March 24.—We
think now is a good time to say a
word about our public roads, as
places in they are almost im
passable.
Some one has been writing
about the wonderful chert beds in
different places in the the county.
We want to say just here, that at
least half the roads in the county
if properly drained and rounded
up in the center would, with the
original dirt, make a road equal to
any chert road.
We think that the district com
missioners ought to look after this
a little closer, and point out to the
overseers just how and where to
drain their different roads. If this
was done we feel sure we would
have better roads in a few years.

NEW FIRM IN DALTON.
J. L. Fincher Succeeds W. .J. Townley in
the Grocery Fine. * >
Dalton’s business outlook has
changed again since our last issue.
W. J. Townley has sold his
stock of goods and fixtures to J.
L. Fincher.
J. L. Fincher recently moved to
Dalton from Tilton where he was
in the merchandise business for
several years.
Notwithstanding his short stay
in Dalton, Mr. Fincher has made
many friends who wish him suc
cess in his new venture.
Mr. Fincher’s experience in the
business world fits him for the re
tail trade of Dalton. He will han
dle fancy and staple groceries, con
fectioneries, fancy china and glass
ware, tinware and other goods the
people want.
Miss Mamie Fincher, his accom
plished daughter, will have charge
of the books and cash.
Jim Brooke will help to wait on
customers.
John Jones, colored, will de
liver the goods promptly as usual.
The people of Dalton and vicin
ity wanting first-class goods at a
reasonable price and prompt ser
vice will find that Finchers is the
place to get what they want.
Remember the place, J. L.
Fincher’s at Townley’s old stand,

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
The society of the Eighth Grade
met on Friday the 19th instant.
There were several good essays
read by the members, one of which
deserves special mention, “ The
Good Pupil,” written by Mary
Brown.
The final examination in physi
ology takes place this week after
which we will take up the study
of Lonfellow’s poem “Evangeline.”
We anticipate real pleasure in the
exchange. The following pupils
acquitted themselves creditably in
the February examinations, having
attained considerably above the
passing mark for promotion: Ross
Harris, George Harris, Ella Fer
guson, Clara Pierce, Glennie Head
rick and Carl McCamy.
One of our pupils is in corres -
pondence with a pupil belonging
to the Eighth Grade of Cambridge,
Massachusetts. This little North
ern friend wants to compare rules
and curriculum, and we will gladly
acquaint her with the regulations
of our school. Lucy Maddox,
* Sec’t’y.
McFellan High School.
Our school now contains about
fifty scholars who are progressing
rapidly under the care of our hand
some teachers, Prof. J. G. Mc
Clellan and Prof, B. F. Clary.
Mr. Johnson, the Methodist pas
tor, visited our school and made
us a very interesting and benefi
cial talk. We would be glad for
Mr. Johnson to come again.
The physics class has just fin
ished the study of electricity, and
Prof. McLellan has performed
many interesting experimenas, an
especially interesting one being
that of plating by electricity. We
will not forget these experiments
which are performed before our
eyes.
On Friday afternoons we have
debates and literary programs.
We have two societies in school
“The Washington” and “The Lee,”
There is a strong rivalry be
tween them. We have joint de
bates, and on Friday, the 12th, the
regular program was postponed
and we engaged in a joint spelling
match. Mr. Theo. Baker was
the only one who remained stand
ing, and as he was a member of
“The Lee,” another victory was
added to their number. Last Fri
day the program was carried out
and it was very interesting. The
debates were spoken and it is sur
prising to see with what grace and
skill the young men deliver their
arguments. We have not been
regular in visiting the Citizen
but we will be in the future.

THE
Hero Who Fills a Soldiers Grave
at Allatoona
IS A CONFEDERATE OFFICER.
An Interesting Explanation of a Mys
tery of the Late and Greatly
Deplored Unpleasantness.
* ■
Renewed interest has been
aroused in the “ Lone Soldier’s
Grave ” at Allatoona, by recent
publications in regard to the iden-
ity of the unknown hero, notably
among which was a letter from
Hiram P. Bush, of the 29th Ala
bama, published in the Atlanta
Journal, and which the Marietta
Journal misinterprets as identfy-
ing the lone grave as that of his
brother, Columbus Franklin Bush.
The Courant American has fur*
nished the following, which,
while it does not give any name,
identifies the grave as that of a
Confederate lieutenant, towit:
«The Lone Soldier’s grave at
Allatoona, Ga., situated at the
north end of Allatoona Pass close
to the west side of the track of the
W. & A. railroad contains a Con
federate lieutenant. He was aide
de camp on Gen. Joe Johnston’s
staff. He was killed on the 25th
of May 1864, late in the afternoon,
while carrying dispatches from
one wing of the ' Confederate
army to the other. At this time
the left wing of the Confederate
army was concentrated about New
Hope church, and the line of de
fense at Kennesaw was taking
shape. He was a very fine look
ing young man, about twenty-five
years of age, nicely dressed in the
uniform of a lieutenant, and was
alone so far as known. He acci
dently met some of the 1st divis
ion of the 20th corps of Gen. Wil
liams’ division, then in the ad
vance of that part of the union
army along the railroad. He
would not surrender but took the
chances of escape amid a shower
of bullets. He was buried where
he fell near the track where the
grave was easily and quickly dug
in the gravel. He gave evidence
of being a brave soldier. This
was long before the fall of Atlanta
and of course before the memora
ble battle of Allatoona, when the
Confederate forces under Gen.
French attempted the capture of
the union garrison under Gen.
Corse in October/’
Theodore M. Kellogg,
Kaukauna, Wis.
The author of the above is a
brother of Mr. D. D. Kellogg,late
a citizen of Marietta, and both are
well and favorably known in that
as well as this community, and it
cannot be’ doubted that he makes
his statement upon what he is pre
pared to offer as unimpeachable
testimony.—Courant-American.
Off For Florida.
Prof. A. J. Showalter, one of
the Citizen editors, left Tuesday
evening for Mount Dora, Fla.,
where he goes to conduct the mu
sic for the Eleventh Annual As
sembly of the South Florida Chau
tauqua, of which Rev. Russell T.
Hall, of Greenwich, Conn., is
president.
Heretofore Dr. H. R. Palmer,
of New York, Prof. C. C. Case, of
Cleveland, Ohio, and others of
the most distinguished musicians
of the North have conducted the
music for this successful Chau
tauqua, and it is quite an honor
to our townsman to be chosen to
succeed such eminent musicians as
these.
Prof. Showalter will be gone
eighteen days and the Citizen
will have several interesting let
ters from the “Land of Flowers’*
while he is away.
Corbett has called on Fitzsim
mons. The visit was not so much
a social as a business one, for Jim
was intent upon obtaining another

HOW WILL IT END?
Tlie Ex-Bookmen Held a Meeting Sunday
Night at the Hotel.
A call meeting of the ex-mem
bers of the young men’s Bookmen
Club was held in the parlors of the
Hotel Dalton on Sunday afternoon,
F. T. Reynolds, of Rome, Ga., in
the chair. It was
Resolved 1 st, To ask each one
present his opinion as to the action
of the members of the above named
society.
Mr. Reynolds: “ It was an act
upon their part without precedent.
It was not treating those who con
tributed altogether right.”
Mr. Shope: “ I have nothing
against any of the members, but I
think it a d n short way of do-
mg.
Mr. Peak: “We should have
known of this and shared in the
division.”
Mr. Sanders (addressing the ex
treasurer, Mr. Peak, with a ray of
hope still burning) : “ Have the
boys drawn their pro rata ? ”
Mr. Peak’s reply was: “The
most of them have done so.” "
It was unanimously carried by
those present to retain council, of
which the ex-members have a great
proficiency in number, and to at
once apply for an injunction
against the execution of the will
of those in possession.
The Committee.
IN FOE’S FIELD.
Georgia’s Commission Decide to Locate
Their Monument.
The Chickamauga Park Com
mission and the Georgia Park
commission are in session this af
ternoon at the Park hotel, at
Crawfish Springs. Gen. J. S.
Fullerton, chairman of the Park
commission, arrived in the city
last night and Gen. Boynton came
in at an early hour this morning.
They left for Chickamauga at 8
o’clock and were accompanied by
Capt. J. P. Smartt and Engineer
E. E. Betts. When they arrived
at the Park hotel they were joined
by Gen. Stewart, also of the Park
commission, and ex-Gov. Jas. S.
Boynton, Capt. W. S. Everett,
Hon. Gordon Lee, Capt. McIn
tosh Kell and Joseph E. Cum
mings,, of the Georgia commis
sion.
Gen. Stewart at once called the
meeting to order and the location
of the handsome Georgia monu
ment was discussed. This occu
pied all the morning hours and
the location has not been defi
nitely decided at a late hour this
afternoon. It is understood that
a majority of the members, after
viewing the field, are in favor of
erecting the marble shaft in the
Poe .field, facing the LaFayette
road, where so many noble sons of
Georgia fell in the second day’s
fight at Chickamauga. This will
doubtless be the location for the
monument.
After the location for the Geor
gia monument is selected, the-
commission will determine upon
the location of a number of mark
ers to be erected by the state of
Georgia in the park proper and a
number to be erected by the state
of Illinois along the crest road on
Missionary Ridge.
Gen. Boynton was seen upon
his arrival at the Southern hotel
this morning by a representative
of the News. He is well pleased
with the progress being made
with the work in the park, and
has many new ideas to advance
concerning the work of this year.
There is no concealing the disap
pointment of the commission be
cause of the fact that congress
cut the park appropriation almost
in two, and all of the work
mapped out for this year cannot
be carried out.
The members of the commis
sion will remain in the city proba
bly a week, and may meet the
Georgia commission again tomor
row morning if their business is
not concluded today. It is ex
pected that' on account of the in
clement weather all the party will
remain at the Park hotel tonight.
