Prof, A. J. Showalter Writes Another
Interesting Letter from Mt,
Dora, Florida.
Mt. Doha, Fla., April 3 — I
do not know that a second letter
from this place will he interesting
to the many readers of the old hut
ever fresh and vigorous North
Georgia Citizen, nevertheless I
will write of a few of the things
which interest me. X have now
three hours work each day, and
the balance of time is at my dis
posal for sailing on the beautiful
Lake Dora, fishing in the more
beautiful Lake Gertrude, and at
tending the various lectures, Chau
tauqua classes, etc. Among the
distinguished speakers and teach
ers here have been Rev. R. T.
Hall, D. D., Greenwich, Conn.,
Rev. Sylvester Weeks, D. D., Cin
cinnati, Ohio, Rev. B. G. North-
rope, D. D., Clinton, Conn., Mrs,
Martha E. L. Webb, State Presi
dent of W. C. T. IT., Miss Bur
nett, of Ohio, one of the three
national lecturers of the W. C. T.
TJ., and others of the prominent
Chautauqua workers from various
sections of the country.
My own work has grown from
the first and while “ comparisons
are odious,” it is a source of satis
faction to have the management,
composed wholly of northern peo
ple, assure me that they like the
work done in the chorus class this
year better than ever before, and
have already said they want me
back again in future years. As
the chorus, is made up almost
wholly of northern singers, coming
from New York, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and other
northern cities, and I was the first
southerner to be engaged to take
charge of the chorus work I did
not feel quite so sure of my foot
ing as 1 do before one of my nor
mal schools made up mainly of our
own people. But if these people
are not so impulsive as we are,
they are wonderfully in earnest
about doing things well and mak
ing the most of ail opportunity,
and so they took hold of the
chorus work with a will and we
soon forgot everything else in our
zeal to master the best things from
my Normal Chorus Book.
As a matter of interest to Dal
ton I may say that several families
from this section contemplate
spending the summer in our pleas
ant town, notable among them be
ing a New Yorker who has the
handsomest boat on Lake Dora in
which I have been having the
pleasure of a daily sail. Another
is a “ way down easter,” who came
here from Maine a dozen years ago
and who generally goes back to his
old home in the summer. This
year he thinks of bringing his
family to Dalton; at least that is
what he said after I told him of
our mountains, good water, pure
ail, good society and numerous
other desirable features as a sum
mer resort. Dalton ought to make
a united effort to get more of these
desirable people to spend at least
a few months each year within her
borders. No town has more at
tractions for good people than Dal
ton, and we should let this fact be
known far and wide. When we
have thus made our light to shine
as we should, we shall find that
others' will unite with us in sing
ing the praises of one of the most
delightful spots and of as noble a
people as are to he found any
where.
It has been quite cool here since
my arrival, but just now the sun
seems to be trying his power a lit
tle, and no doubt I shall be glad to
turn northward as soon as the ex-
| ercises of the Chautauqua close
Which will be next Wednesday
evening when we shall have the
usual grand closing concert.
With kindly remembrance of all
the Citizen readers, I am
Respectfully,
A. J. Showalter.
Chestnut Grove Farm.
Having been an occasional con
tributor to the Citizen under the
efficient management of Editor
Reynolds, I feel as though I am
standing on the threshold of an old
friend awaiting entrance as I pen
these few items in the hope that
what I write will not find a rest-
ing place in the editor’s waste
basket.
Uncle Billy Richardson’s women
folks spent Wednesday visiting in
the city.
Our farmers took advantage of
the few bright days the fore part
of last week to forward their prep
arations for spring crops
James Ketchem, of Atlanta, is
visiting his sister, Mrs. Perry.
That dear old “mother in Israel,”
Mrs. Quillian, paid an appreciated
visit to her daughter, Mrs. Brooker
last week.
There is a gang of young hood
lums who congregate at the old
cotton warehouse whose sole aim
in life seems to be to see who can
chew the most tabacco, swear the
most vicious oaths and make them
selves generally obnoxious to pas-
sersby. It would be well if Dal
ton mothers would see to it that
their boys associate with better
mannered componions than the
ones mentioned.
This old world holds some queer
people, and in the language of the
old lady, “ we are proper glad we
are not one of them.” One of the
strangest freaks to our way of
reasoning is the man who con
demns everything which tends to
benefit the public, unless the idea
originated in his brain, as if the
gray matter in his cranium ever
did furnish an idea of importance.
Mr. Frank Staey, one of our
progressive farmers, spent the day
last Thursday comparing notes
with neighbor Luke Calloway.
Our up-to-date road supervisor,
Charley Mitchell, deserves credit
for the scientific manner in which
he has repaired our almost im
passible road.
Mr. Pole Attison makes frequent
trips south of Dalton. Wonder
who could enlighten us as to what
the attraction is ?
We were impressed by an arti
cle in the W esleyan Christian Ad
vocate of March 24, wherein the
question of “How many con
sciences should a man be allowed
to have” was considered. Among
other things it said some people’s
honesty was due absolutely to ex
ternal forces, as it was not inher
ent in themselves. It seems easy
with some natures to construe a
dishonest transaction as being a
shrewd business venture, losing
sight of the fact that there is a
point where shrewdness stops and
dishonesty begins. Bess.
Palmistry Saves a Young Woman.
Marvelous things are claimed of
palmistry, not only by those who
practice it as a profession, but by
many who have seen the prophecies
of palmists come true in actual
life. Telling the past by the lines
of the hands is, however, almost a
new art- There is a man in town
who believes he can do it, at least
so far as marriages are concerned.
Still further, he claims that the
lines of the hand show whether a
marriage iu the past ended in di
vorce and which party it was that
obtained the divorce.
“ It is also possible,” he said the
other day, “ to find in the palms
the records of the number of one’s
marriages, a hint of the experiences
of courtship and whether married
life proved smooth or otherwise.
I saved one young woman from a
bigamist once. He was engaged
to her and they came together to
me. ‘You are married already,’ I
said after looking at his palm. He
only laughed,but the young woman
investigated and found it was true.
« On another' occasion I saw in
the hand of a hotel keeper the
record of two marriages-—one at
twenty-four and the other at fifty.
When I told him he was simply
amazed, «J was married once at
twenty-four,’ he ‘said, ‘and again
at forty-eight.’ y:
“ The hands are the records of
the body. It is amusing what is
written there,”—New York Her
ald.

E. W. Bond is Convalescent—Oscar Mc-
Oliee and Steve MiUer off for Texas.
Fashion, April 5.—Yes, we
are persuaded again that the much-
talked-of rainy, weather is over for
a while. Like Bill Arp we pre
fer “ looking on the bright side of
life ” even if it does rain a little
more than we think we need. If
there be any farmers or gardeners
in the country who think that a
great calamity has befallen them,
let all such try to console them
selves, with the sweet assurance
that “ there are others.”
We are glad to note that E. W.
Bond, one of Fashion’s most es
teemed citizens, who has been very
ill for some time, is now convales
