The needed one per cent, on

The Spring Place road came up
for consideration. The criticism

The slaughter of the Spanish
troops by the dynamite gun was
terrible. The insurgents were
practically unscathed, the enemy
having scarcely a chance to fire on
them. Garcia decided not to hold
Bayamo, having need of the men
for a more important work.

After a short business meeting,
the history lesson, which com

AFTER APPOMATTOX.
It was April weather. Softly the ruffling air,
With subtle and vital touch, set blossoms ev
erywhere ;
Daisies dappled the grass: all the apple trees
Stood brave in bridal bloom for their lover
honeybees;
The matins of the fairies the chiming bluebell >
rang, -
Add the elf of the fronded fern uncurled, anc
the grass sprite upward sprang.
And through his coral clarion the trumpeter
woodbine
Throughout the land reveille blew to laggard
leaf and vine.
The Southland, waste and weary.
With all but honor lost, . '
Heard singing trumpets blare defeat "
From mountain top to coast.
“BewailI Bewail!” the trumpets san&
“Bewail a nation dead!
Ashes and dust your swelling hope!
Your quick come glory fled!
Fold up, fold up the starry cross.
The meteor of fight
A world hath watohed with bated breath
Through all its burning flight.
No more in shook of battle joined
Its light shall gleaming shine *
To lead to victory or death
A steady thin gray line.
Weep, Southland! Weep your ravaged fields,
Your homes all desolate,
Your fat lands, scarred by war’s red scathe—
Weep all your piteous fate!
But smile above your happy dead,
Your martyrs truly blest—
They fought and fell while hope was high—.
Asleep in your soft breast,
Nor dreams may come, nor heartbreak touch.
And to your latest age
Your constant heart shall keep their names
Writ on its dearest page.”
Through the April weather’s heartbreak.
The April weather’s peace,
Past mountains steep as black despair.
Through flowery vales of ease.
Mocked by the liquid sunshine,
The lilt of nesting birds,
The men in gray went straggling horns
With grief beyond all words.
Btlll in each heart there echoed
The beat of the last tattoo,
And still they thrilled to the last wild charge
The. Southland bugles blew.
Paroled! At large! It was all a dream
Whose marvel might not cease.
The good fight fought, the good fight lost,
How bear a vacant peace?

EYE STRAIN CAUSES.
HEADACHE, NEURALGIA, DIZZINESS,
DULL VISION, PAIN IN THE EYES,
NERVOUSNESS AND OFTEN
STOMACH TROUBLE, A VERY
LARGE PROPORTION CAN
RE CURED BY SPECIAL
LY GROUND LENSES.
Thousands are dying by inches
as the result of violent and per
sistent headaches, dizziness, neu
ralgia and many other distressing
symptoms, who can be permanent
ly cured, provided the cause be
discovered and removed. Many
of these unfortunates are treated
for almost every disease in the
catalogue of ills—they* are treated
for stomach, then for liver, and
still again for the nerves; but to
no purpose, as the real cause has
not been discovered. Scores of
these unfortunates have been re
lieved of their sufferings by the
skill of Dr. Conwell and his won
derful methods of diagnosing eye
strain.
The success of Dr. Conwell
proves that the eye is the source
of many nervous disturbances, and
that they are curable by properly-
fitted high-grade lenses.
He employs the latest and most
improved instruments known in
the scientific world in diagnosing
and correcting errors of refraction
causing eye strain. His skill is
attested by the great number of
patients he has cured, many of
whom had given up all hope of
perfect visio
Many persons have had their
eyes injured, nearly ruined, by al
lowing them to be guessed at by
dealers in spectacles, peddlers or
other parties who-are ignorant of
the delicate structure of a human
eye.
One
of the most injurious
things a person can do to his eyes
is to use cheap, defective glasses.
They distort the rays of light, dis
turb the angles of vision and in
jure or ruin the eye sight.
Crownstone Lens Co. furnishes
none hut the very highest grade
lenses obtainable. They are none
too good for so delieate an organ
as the eye.
It is a fact that hundreds' of
people suffer from eye strain who
are not aware that there is any
thing wrong with their eyes.
They may have fair vision for a
short time, but* after a few hours
steady work, especially at night,
their eyes become tired and pain
ful. Eye strain of this character
requires a thorough and perfect
examination by an A1 optician.
Dr. Conwell’s work in Dalton
has proven highly satisfactory, and
he is doing a regular “land office”
business at the office of their
agent, Lowry’s drug store. The
Crownstone glasses are found to
be'just as he recommends them.
Will remain in Dalton until May
20, 1897. Call at once.
A subscriber at Americus, Ga*,
in sending a dollar for the renewal
of her subscription,^ says: “I had
thought of discontinuing The
Citizen, but I like it so much
better under the new management,
and I congratulate you on its
present appearance, and wish you
all success.”

The city fathers met in council
chamber on Monday night and re
mained in session until nearly 11
o’clock, yet nothing of special in
terest beyond routine work was
accomplished.
A petition for the construction
of a bicycle roadway, twelve feet
wide, around the city park was
read and discussed. The matter
was referred to the park commit
tee for investigation, and it is
probable that it will be granted.
The street committee reported
that they had expended $127.93
in the improvements, and had also
had the city park cleaned up.
The report of the committee, C.
G. Spencer and B. C. Bivings,
who had charge of the work of
codifying the city ordinances, was
presented and the work was ac
cepted. The amount allowed for
the work of Messrs Spencer and
Bivings was $49.00.
The gas committee reported
th&t a post would be placed at the
corner of Glenn and Morris streets,
and the citizens of that locality
should have light.
A lengthy discussion of the dis
position of the garbage matter fol
lowed. Whether to buy another
mule and cart or let the contract
Rev.^out to private parties or not, was
the question. Final action on
this matter was deferred until the
next meeting.
W. F. Bender secured the con
tract for furnishing ahorse to haul
the hose reel to all fires and take
care of the hose after the fire was
out for $62.
Permission was asked to take
one the hose reels to the fireman’s
tournament which meets in Car
ters ville on June 9th. It was
granted.
A fund of $100 to help pay the
expenses of the Dalton fire lad
dies to the Cartersville tourna
ment was appropriated.
Mrs. M. A. Trivett asked for
an advancement of $35 to have
the hall occupied by the city coun
cil covered. The- request-was
granted.
The question of having the
vouchers for the public school
fund passed. upon by the city
council, jnst as all other accounts
'are done, was discussed. * The
matter was finally referred to the
finance committee.
The council then adjourned.

The society -work last Friday
afternoon was -very interesting.
The recitation by Miss Marvin
Trevitt in the Lee Society, and
the one by Miss Kate Freeman in

mention. The most interesting
part of the program was the de
bate : “ Resolved that more men
do right for the love of right than
for the fear of punishment.”
Throughout the whole year our
societies have been the most inter
esting feature of our school work,
and we have all derived great ben-
fit from them.
There will be a spelling match
between the two societies next
Friday afternoon. We feel sure

THE ALETHEA.
In a newspaper interview At
torney General McKenna is quot
ed as follows: “ I am always glad
to see newspaper men. I have
had a great deal of experience
with gentlemen of the press, and
I have never known one of them
to betray a confidence or to do an
unfair act to a public man. When
I was a member of congress some
years ago, it used to be my habit
to go down on Newspaper row and
spend half my evenings talking to
the hoys there. I found them the
brightest men in Washington. I
could get more information as to
what was going on in the national
capital, or in politics, or likely f to
happen, from them than from any
other source. I trust now that I
in the cabinet of President
am
McKinley my former relations
with the correspondents will be as
cordial as ever.”

Appropriate Name Decided on For
Dalton’s New Literary Club.
On Tuesday evening the new
literary club held an unusually in
teresting meeting at the home of
Miss Huffaker. ’
In addition to the regular les
son from Romola, two excellent
papers were read.
“ The Royal House of Ger
many ” by Miss Eugenia Bitting
evinced careful preparation, while
Miss Gardner’s comprehensive
“ Review of the April Magazines”
was exceptionally good. Out of
a list of beautiful and appropriate
names that of Alethea was chosen
as the club name.
The Alethea will meet with
Miss Gardner on Tuesday, May
18th. "
The fools are not all dead. One
of them borrowed a newspaper the
other day and discovered an ad
vertisement- headed, “ How to
Make Pants Last.” He sent fifty
cents for instruction and in due
time received the following, “Make
the coat and vest first.” At last
accounts the simpleton waa trying
to recover his money by legal pro
cess.—Fannin County Record.
A Waycross lady says: “ That
she hears that the Kansas Legis
lature is paying $5.00 a piece for
prayers, and she’ll furnish ’em as
good as ever fluttered, and in any
quantity for half the money.”
If its worth $5 to pray for the
Kansas Legislature and the pay
is proportionately increased ac
cording to the necessity of the
case, it would very nearly break
John D. Rockefeller to pay for one
prayer for the Kentucky legisla
ture.
