As We Predicted.
Dr. J. C. Bivings received a
telegram Monday from Dr. Troy
Bivings in New York, stating that
Dr. Troy had been appointed chief
assistant to the chair of surgery
in the University and Bellvue
Hospital Medical College of New
York. This is a distinguished
honor and is only attained by ab
solute merit. He can be depended
upon to fulfill his duties for he
loves bis profession. The Citizen
congratulates all concerned.
A Fine Painting.
Miss Lucile Trotter far sur
passed all her former efforts when
she painted the perfect and almost
a living picture of her brother, Mr.
J. M. Trotter. The Citizen makes
but little pretense to the artistic,
but it pleases us in measurably.
“ That which pleases many,” said
Dr. Johnson, “must possess merit.”
The painting can be seen at Mr.
Trotter’s store, and all lovers of
art should go to see it.
Had a Scrap.
Wah Sing, the well known
laundry man, had a scrap Saturday
night with a young man from
North Dalton, who struck Wah a
severe blow on the forehead, in
flicting a painful wound. Wah
got out his pistol and fired, but
missed his mark. Quite a crowd
had gathered and it created a good
deal of excitement, as the streets
were full of men and boys who
were forming searching parties to
visit a lost man in one of the vari
ous mines near Dalton. The lost
was found Sunday morning.
Gee Whiz !
“ Rev. Johnnie ” Alexander has
just returned from an evangelistic
tour to Dalton, Ga., where he tned
to lead the people of that section
out of the wilderness of sin, and
show them the error of theii way.
Bro. Alexander says they will not
listen to the teachings of the gos
pel, that they like darkeness better
than light, and that their case is
hopeless. He reports the death
of three men at the hands of the
kuklux within the last few weeks,
and says also that he was notified
that had it not been for his divine
calling he would have been the
fourth victim, but advised him to
flee from the “ wrath to come,
and he came in on the home stretch
last Tuesday, foot sore and-weary.
Woe be unto the Daltonians.—
Cleveland Banner.
The “ Rev. Johnnie ” succeeded
in disturbing divine worship here
for some time, and it is hoped he
will find a softer berth in Cleve-
veland or one so soft he won’t re
turn to Dalton.

Grand Jury Presentments
We, the Grand Jury for the Oc
tober term, 1898, of the Superior
Court of Whitfield county, beg
leave to make the following pre
sentments :
1. We have by committee in
vestigated the management of the
countv farm, and after careful in
quiry of the inmates, parties living
in close proximity and by the
superintendent before us, are sat
isfied that the farm is well man
aged and that the inmates have
good attention and that the charges
of cruelty and neglect on the part
of the superintendent or his assist
ants are unfounded, and we rec
ommend that the Ordinary and
County Commissioners investigate
the charge that the chimneys at
the farm are in bad condition and
if found to be so, that they have
the defect remedied.
2. We have given the subject
of public roads careful attention
and find that most of the
county roads are in fair condition,
and that the hands generally have
woiked out their time and that the
moneys appropriated have general
ly been judiciously expended, but
in some cases the time of the
hands has been put in in a careless
manner, and that the overseers
lave not required the proper labor
of them; particularly is this so in
the case of the road leading from
the Cleveland road to the Tarver
liridge. We find that this road is
about two and three-quarter (2f)
miles in length and that they have
worked their full time and that
the road is now in bad condition,
in many places almost impassable.
The overseer and commissioners
stated that they have not yet ex
pended all the money appropriated
and promise that they will go to
work at once and repair the road
so far as it will do it.
After hearing from overseers,
road commissioners and members
of our body, we find that the legal
time of four days provided is not
sufficient to keep the roads in good
condition.
3. We have heard from the
County Sc ool Commissioner of
the operation of the county schools,
and from his statements and re
port and from all sources of in
vestigation, we find the schools to
be in good condition and generally
give satisfaction.
4. We have by committee ex
amined the public buildings and
find the jail to be in an unfinished
condition, but so far as we can as
certain the work being done is of
superior hature, and the accommo
dations for prisoners comfortable
and convenient.
The court house appears to be
in good repair, except that the
chimneys where the grates are all
smoke when a fire is built in them,
and we recommend that the grates
all be taken out and stove flues
cut in the chimneys, and that the
doors to the grand jury room be
repaired.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners take steps to pro
vide a suitable clock for the court
house tower, it being the opinion
of the jury that the same would be
a great convenience to the citizens
of the whole county, and that the
building is not complete without
it, and now that the new jail is
nearing completion and that it
will be provided with a large bell
in the tower, the unfinished con
dition of the court house becomes
more apparent.
5. We have examined all the
Justice Dockets and the books of
the county officers and find them
generally well kept, and so far as
we can ascertain there are no irreg
ularities in the pension rolls.
The registration books and the
tally sheets have been examined
and we find some irregularities,
many only clerical, incident to
haste by election clerks, others due
to misunderstandings—in every
case where we have been able to
investigate we have found thAt
9he

We sell are m ule
for bad weather and you’ll feel at
home in them—will keep your feet

are as necessary as an overcoat,

parties who voted when their
names were not on the registration
books, did so thinking they were
registered. Some were on the
original book, some had asked the
tax collector or 3ome one to regis
ter for them and they had failed
to do so, and after investigation
we are satisfied that there has been
intentional violation of the
election laws, and ii is the opinion
of the jury that the last election
was a quiet and orderly one.
6. We positively and unhesi
tatingly condemn the custom of
justices of the peace in issuing
orders to the sheriff to release per
sons, who, after trial before them
for misdemeanor violations, are
bound over to the Superior Court
and placed in jail, believing that
it is contrary to law and good
order. We mention a case before
Esq. W. J. Lowry in Dalton Dis
trict, who, (as we believe under a
misapprehension of law and fol
lowing the prevailing custom in
such cases by other jus ices) is
sued ordeia to the sheriff, who
obeyed the same and released a
prisoner who had been in jail some
two months, upon the payment of
costs, after the prosecutor had
been induced, in this instance
hired, to withdraw the prosecution.
We recommend the appoint
ment of A. P. Roberts as Notary
Public for the 872nd District G.
M., to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Esq. J. P. Freeman.
We desire to extend to his
Honor, A. W. Fite, to Solicitor S.
P. Maddox and to Mr. D. Sholl,
the efficient clerk of the county,
and Mr. J. M. Johnson and his
corps of efficient bailiffs, and es
pecially to Mr. Andrew White,
our heartfelt thanks for uniform
courtesy and many favors shown
to us as a body.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published in the
usual manner in the county papers
