COUNTY TEACHER’S INSTITUTE.
The Whitfield county Teacher’s
Institute will meet at the Public
School building in Dalton next
Saturday, April 24th, at 9 a. m.
An invitation is extended to all,
but it is especially hoped that the
teacher’s of Dalton’s city schools
and all others who may feel an in
terest in progressive education
will be present. The teachers of
the county, whose^names are giv
en elsewhere, are expected to be
out in full force. Let each and
all lend a helping hand in this
very important work.
THE POOR GEORGIA FARMER.
“ The largest purchase of cot

planter was made by Ford & Co.,
of Macon, the seller being Col. J.
M. Smith, of Oglethorpe county,
and the number of bales 2,600.
The price paid was seven cents
and will place the neat sum of
$70,000 in Col. Smith’s pocket.—

PAY POR THE TEACHERS.
County School Commissioner
Berry will he prepared to make
the first quarterly payment to the
teachers of Whitfield county
next Saturday. .
This announcement will be
pleasant reading to this deserving
profession and will help much to

at the meeting of the Teachers’
Institue.
The Citizen hopes to see the
time, and that at no distant day,
when the school law is so changed
that the teachers can be paid at
the end of each month. They
earn every cent they get and:
should be paid promptly.

God truly moves in mysterious
ways, his wonders to perform. So
did it seem to all when through
His divine purpose hie has seen fit
to call from our midst our sister,
Mattie Owens.
While none of us could give
God’s will for so doing, yet we
know He had an entirely justi
fiable one, when on Saturday after
noon, April 17 th, He sent His
death messenger to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Owens anc.
called for our sister. The news
of her death was a blow to al.
North Dalton, for she numbered
her friends by the hundred.
Mattie was a devoted Christian
girl and impressed all who knew
her with the realities of the re
ligion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In her death the family has lost a
devoted daughter and sister; ML
Rachel church, to which she be
longed, has lost one of her best
members, and the girls with whom
she labored have lost a true friend
and co-worker. While this is our
loss, it is heaven’s gain, and
through the same purifying blood
we can feel sure of again seeing
our sister. •
The funeral services were con
ducted from Mt. Rachel church at
3 o’clock p. m., Sunday afternoon,
Revs. E. B. Farrar and M. M
Walraven officiating. Before the
arrival of the corpse almost every
available seat was occupied, and
one look at that sad faced congre
gation was enough to prove that
our sister had a place in many
hearts. The interment took place
at West Hill cemetery and on that
lovely Easter day as we laid our
sister to rest, our eyes chanced to
fall upon a beautiful flower just
bursting forth from her sister’s
grave near by, and we were forci
bly reminded of the fact that ere
long this body that we are . how
laying away will come forth in a
glorious resurrected state.:—* * *
Humane Writes.
Editors Citizen:—While agi
tating the needs of Dalton, do not
overlook the need of a society for
the prevention of cruelty to ani
mals. The underfed, overworked,
sore and jaded horses and mules
which we so often see, are such
mute appeals to our humanity
as we cannot afford to disregard.
Such gross abuse of stock as has
come under the writer’s notice, and
doubtless under the notice of all
our citizens, should be corrected
by the strong arm of the law when
the owners refuse to be governed
by principles of humanity. It is
to be hoped that The Citizen,
ever forward in good works, will
not cease agitating the matter un
til Dalton has a well
and ably officered S. P. C. A.

in the way of a 44 Grocery Easter
Opening ” was held from 2 until
8 o’clock. Messrs Tom and John
Berry were assisted in receiving
and entertaining their friends by
their better halves. Substantiate
were followed by dainty dishes of
good things and a cup of coffee
that could not he forgotten. The
store was decorated very tastily
and everybody seemed to enjoy
the innovation.

' Dawnville, April 21, 1897.—
Mr. Thomas Renfro, one of our
oldest and most respected citizens
died Thursday morning, April 15,
at the home of his Sony Hender
son Renfro. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. M. M.
Walraven at Hamilton street
church, and his remains were in
terred in West Hill cemetery with
Masonic honors. A large con
course of friends and relatives fol
lowed his remains to their last
resting place. ■ . .
The Endeavor rally - last Sab
bath was a grand success. At 3
o’clock, the hour appointed for the
meeting, the house was well filled
with people and Rev. S. M. Ben
nett, who had been asked to act
as chairman for the evening, called
on Rev. J. M. Mecklin to lead the
opening prayer. Then he intro
duced Col. Walter Jones, of Dal
ton, who made the opening ad
dress which was very good. Then
Miss Onie Henry, principal of Su
mach Seminary, read a very able
paper on enthusiasm. Then Rev.
John M. Mecklin, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at Dal
ton, made one of the best little
talks on Love that it has ever
been our pleasure to listen to.
The vast audience was perfectly
delighted with his eloquence.
We believe the seed sown that
evening will bring forth an abun
dant harvest.

We very much regret to learn
that Messrs. Loveman & Sons con
template leaving Dalton for At

progressive merchants, and Dalton
can “ill afford tp lose such men.
We are glad that they are not. yet
ready to announce the time of
their leaving, and have some hope
that they may yet conclude that
Dalton is as good a place for men
of their well-established reputation
as any untried city, no matter how
large or progressive. Whether
they conclude to stay here or to
try their fortunes in Atlanta, The
Citizen wishes them the success
which they so richly deserve,
