NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Trotter—dry goods.
Jas. Herron—millinery
E. O. Herndon—coal.
The New York Commercial Ad
vertiser of August 26th contains
a splendid article, entitled “The
Expanding South,’’ written by Mr.
R. H. Edmonds, editor of the Bal
timore Manufacturers’ Record.
Attention is especially called to
the immense undeveloped re
sources amid a population, ninety-
Postoffice as fiye per cent of w hi c h are native
born, and it predicts great gains
for the near future and says the
dominant Anglo-Saxon spirit has
been kindled since the war with
Spain. The article is bound to
help the south by being given
publicity in so prominent a paper
as the Commercial Advertiser.
A WORD WITH YOU.
With the closing of this month
The Citizen will have passed an
other mile post in its existence.
A little less than five hundred dol
lars is due us on subscription.
Please be kind enough to look at
the date on your label. You owe
us from that date on. On the first
of October we shall place every
one of these accounts in the hands
of a persistent lawyer for collection
with instructions to collect.
Please save us this collection fee
and yourself the annoyance. This
applies to you if you are behind
two years or more.
Dalton will be a fine position to
have a big county fair next year.
It would bring thousands of dol
lars here. Lets try it. The Cit
izen nominates Hon. S. E. Berry,
Col. W. H. Tibbs, Dan Cline, W.
H. C. Freeman, Capt. G. W. Head,
Harry Brown, F. W. Elrod, Hon.
John Black, A. J. Barnett, Dave
Mitchell, Kirk Farrar, A. H.
Shaver and Pryor Stark a com
mittee to look into it. It would
mean a great deal for this county.
Few people appreciate the things
a weekly newspaper leaves unsaid.
Suppose every skeleton in the
closet were printed weekly in a
town the size of Dalton—what
would result ? Have you lived so
that you would like to see your
every act aired in the papers of
your town ? Then be careful
what you say or do. “People who
live in glass houses,” etc.
The souvenir edition of the
Columbus Daily Ledger was a
splendid one and it can not but
help the city of Columbus. 100,-
000 of them should be distributed
through the east and northeast
among prospective settlers and
capitalists. The Citizen congrat
ulates both the Ledger and Colum
bus.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Colonel Candler declared in his
Milledgeville speech that “ free
silver was not a cardinal doctrine
of the democratic party.” What
if he did ? The people of Georgia
have overwhelmingly chosen him
as a democratic candidate for gov
ernor and it is wasting words to
discuss the matter. Let all good
democrats come together and elect
“Uncle Allen” in October.
Whitfield county has raised ten
bushels of wheat to every inhabi
tant this year and will average
twenty bushels of corn and a half
bale of cotton to every soul. We
are canning 8,000 cans of peaches
and tomatoes per day and will
butcher 1,000 beeves and 15,000
head of hogs this winter. Lets
hear from some other county.
It is currently reported that
Phil Byrd, editor of the Rome
Hustler-Commercial, is to be Gov.
Candler’s private secretary.—
Savannah Press.
We should like to see him get
it. He deserves it and is in every
way qualified for the office.
When Spain rounds up all her
citizens into her own borders she
might divide them into squads
and work her uncultivated territory
on the Pingree plan. Then she
might discuss commerce with other
countries.
Gov. Atkinson’s speech at Dub
lin is winning praise from even
his honest erstwhile political
enemies. There are few truer
and braver statesmen than Wm.
Y. Atkinson and the people are
finding it out.
Everv patent medicine concern
in the United States that has used
the bill boards as an advertising
medium in the past ten years has
either failed completely or got
into the hands of a receiver. The
moral is obvious.
Yellow journalism was tolerated
out of curiosity up to the hour
that Dewey fired his first shot at
Montejo's fleet in Manila bay, then
the people wanted reliable news
and the decline of yellow papers
began precipitately.
We sincerely hope that Presi
dent Thomas, of the N. & C. &
St. L, R’w'y, will build a brick
passenger depot for Dalton. The
patronage that road gets here am
ply justifies it.
With the beginning of an im
perialistic policy for the United
States will come an end of all high
protective tariffs, just as surely as
the night follows the day.
The fact that Dewey has only a
>art of a liver is considered a
troke of good luck by some bil-
ous persons—Waycross Herald.
We do indeed.
Rome, Ga., has just received a
:ar load cf baking powder. You
:an’t keep Rome down. She’ll
ise if she has to take the powder
u do so.
“The depot question” seems to
)e bobbing up all over the State.
Dalton is going to get hers, so saic.

The Citizen predicted several
weeks ago that with the return of
the army from Cuba yellow fever
would spread in Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi. It
now looks as if the prediction will
come true.
Capt. Geo. A. Jenks has nomi
nated by Pennsylvania democrats
for governor. He is not the
famous
“Captain Jenks of the Horse Marins
Who fed his horse on corn and beans.”
Our Correspondent Writes from the
National Capitol.
Washington, t). C., August 29,
1898.—I see by The Citizen that
the primary settled who should be
our officers for the next two years,
and I send my congratulations to
all of them and wish it was in my
power to give each one of the de
feated a good office, for they were
all of our best citizens. I can and
will support every one of them
from Candler to my friend, Tom
Cox. I would go one thousand
miles to vote for Tom and I know
he will make a good officer. So
will all the rest of the ticket. I
will say to my neighbor, Mr. Col-
vard, that we will see that he is
our next State senator, and that is
a better place than representative.
My friend, Bill Black, will make
a No. 1 representative, and no
truer man to his party lives in
Georgia. He is always ready and
willing to work for his friends. I
like the way our old tax collector,
D. W. Mitchell, approached Mr.
Bryant. We all knew he made a
good tax collector and is a good
man, and I believe Mr. Bryant
will do as well. I think the best
thing Dave can do now is to get
married, and as to Dig, Smith,
Webb and the other boys will say
that I will see that they get a good
place some day.
We have had the brave officer,
Schley, with us. The crowd was
immense that met him at the de
pot. No one so far has received
so magnificent a welcome. I am
proud of our hero of Santiago.
When he went to the State War
and Navy Department every one
there shook his hand and the cor
ridors were choked with people
trying to get a look at him. I
consider him the greatest man of
the war.
The president left Washington
yesterday for a short vacation, and
he should have it for he has been
true and stuck to his post like a
brave soldier. We may differ
with him in politics, but all must
admit that he makes a good presi
dent and is a good man. No
charges against him—all praise
him, let their politics be what they
may.
I, with a company of friends,
went out to Glen Echo and went
to the theater and saw the play,
the Bohemian Girl. I liked the
play. Although an old play I had
never seen it before. The theater
is built out of brick and seats ten
thousand persons, and it is so well
arranged that all can see and hear
the play\ And it is so lovely out
there—so much to see and enjoy.
I wish my Dalton friends could be
here to go out and spend the day
there. Tell S. P. Maddox the old
canal boats are still there—the
one I write the names of my Dal
ton friends on.
I was glad to hear from the old war
horse of the lower tenth district,
Dan Cline. He will hear from me
soon. Tell my friends that want
to hear from their pensions that
they must give me the number of
their claims. I will do all I can
for them while John W. Maddox
is out of the city, but if I go over
to the pension office with no num
ber of the claim I cannot do any
thing, for the chief of the division
cannot call off the case without
the number.
We have had some hot weather,
but am happy to say that it is
some cooler today.
Will go down the river this
evening. I saw a good many on
seventh street this morning with
their fishing tackle ready to go.
You know Sunday is a big fishing
day up here. Of course I do not
fish on Sunday, I just look on and
talk to the boys.
How is Mr. Mathews getting?
Is he better and will be soon be
well? I hope so.
I do hope Watt Weatherly and
daughter and Mack Cannon and
Miss Annie will stop in Washing
ton on their return from New
York.
I am now living or rooming at
707 H street N W. Have a nice
room and the latch string is on
the out side for all of my Georgia
friends. A friend of mine, Mr.
John A. Holland, rooms by me.
He is from Massachusetts and has
a position over at the capital. He
is a nice gentleman and good com
pany. Say to Hon. Sam Maddox
that I now take my meals at the
corner of 9th street. A nice lady
from Kentucky, Mrs. Pullam,
keeps the house. A nice crowd of
Tennessians and Kentuckians are
stopping there. Have gay times
up there.
Hope to be in Dalton soon.
Will be there in October if possi
ble. Give my love to all friends.
Wishing you success and that I
may soon hear of you stoping the
old bachelor way of living and
take some one of those pretty girls
to help you run The Citizen, I
close.

Then, why not continue the

DEVOTION.
With sighs and sobs and organ throbs
The old cathedral thrills;
And deep and strong a storm of song
The sacred temple fills;
If scarce I heed prayer, song or creed,
Oh, love, am I to blame?
When every air and every prayer
Recalls thy sacred name?
The preacher’s words with songs of birds
Are blended, and afar
My spirit strays through woodland ways
Where gleams Eve’s earliest star;
And while I face his reverend grace
These errant fancies claim
Attention more than priestly lore
When mingled with thy name.
With soulful sighs and downcast eyes
And cheeks bedewed with tears
In sorrow’s deeps Contrition weeps,
Voicing the sinner’s fears;
My soul still dreams of tenderer themes—
One cherished end and aim,
That even in death may my last breath
Breathe thy beloved name!
—Montgomery M. Folsom.
