THE NORTH GEORGIA CITIZEN, DALTON. GA.
AT ONE FELL SWOOP
Spring went down into history with the
winter blasts, and in consequence we
have on hand a lot of
SPRING GOODS
that must succumb to the inevitable and
go out under a tremendous PRICE CUT
TING. The reason is plain. We cannot
afford to carry them over, they’d be use
less and out of style next spring. So
while the balmy breath of spring lingers
for a few brief days, ere the summer sol-
stace pours its hot rays down, we want
to, will and must part company with
these midseason goods, and with the help
of our clerks we have run the two-edged
Bargain Knife into every line heartlessly
deep. It never missed an article for men,
women and children. An inquiry will con
vince you our sacrifice is your gain.

If you do not see anything in
Dalton that can be improved, then
of course you are excused.

Dalton will be, in the future,
just what her people want her to
be—nothing more, nothing less.
* #
*
That city is in a bad way
whose chief points of attraction
are the jail and the cemetery
* *
*
A coat of fresh, green paint
would add much to the appearance
of the iron seats in the city park.
* *
#
Mr. Huse Longley has greatly
improved his home grounds and
sidewalk around same on Cuyler
street. ^
* *
*
The small plat of ground at the
junction of Cleveland street and
Thornton avenue could he well
utilized by making of it a nice
little park.
In many places the drain
ditches are just at the edge of the
sidewalk, when they should be
some six feet from the walk on
the edge of the street. This pro
vides a space for the people to
beautify, and in many cases gives
protection to the shade trees.
*
A fine object lesson in city im
provement may be seen in Havana,
Cuba. Uncle Sam took hold of
this filthy old city and cleaned it
from cellar to garret; the people,
looking up through the slime of
centuries, kicked like mules, but
since the change property values
have increased from twenty to
fifty per cent.
Public parks add greatly to the
beauty and health of any city.
While there are vacant grounds
that can be obtained, Dalton
should acquire several small
tracts and make them into public
parks. It would require but
little expense to do this. By a
united effort the people in any
section of the city could make a
park.
A person who opposes cleaning
up the city would also probably
object to taking a bath. But he
would be all the better after
having had the bath. *
* *
#
There are a number of historic
spots within the corporate limits
of Dalton. A committee from
the Improvement Society might
locate the most important ones
and have suitable markers erected
* *
We read that in heaven the
streets are paved with gold and
nothing unclean enters there.
Let us make Dalton attractive, so
that if people fail to get to heaven
they will want to come to Dalton.
* «
In building »idew»lks people
should not forget that in the
future, when a uniform grade
establ,shed, the walks must be on
a level with the center of the
street. Then, in the begmnrug
bu Id vour sidewalks on this e ,
and much trouble will be obviated.
A copy of the amending ordin
ance, recently passed by the
mayor and council, laying off the
city into three sections and direct
ing that all garbage be put into
barrels or other receptacles so that
it can be taken out by the garbage
wagon, is being published and
will be distributed among the peo
pie, so that all may know what is
required. A strict enforcement
of this law will make Dalton, in a
short time, a cleaner city than
ever before in her history. Let
all the people help the mayor and
council in this earnest eff-rt to
clean up the city.

It is quite gratifying to note
the spread of the “village improve
ment fever.” On every hand
may be seen results of this move
ment to make beautiful the gem
of the Piedmont, Dalton.
Surely a movement calculated
and intended to fill up the waste
places, cause the barren spots to
blossom, create a friendly rivalry
as to who shall best work and
best agree, should be of interest
to everyone having the good of
our city at heart.
There is more or less criticism
made of every movement ever in
augurated, but there can be no
real objection to a movement that
will improve the sanitary condi
tion and cause grim disease to
flee for safety.
A mass meeting will be held,
in the near future, at the Court
House, t*> which every resident of
Dalton is not only invited but
urged to be present, as matters of
importance will come up in which
everyone is interested, at which
time a splendidly arranged pro
gram of music and speeches will
be carried out. However, in the
meantime, a committee meeting
will be held, at a time and place
to be known later, to formulate
the details for this meeting.
Every person, old or young,
claiming Dalton as their home,
are, and of a reason, should con
sider themselves a member of this
association, and should not wait
to be invited or conscripted. The
mere fact of your having “brushed
up a bit” this spring is taken as
an evidence of your interest in
this movement and therefore con
stitutes your membership.
Co-operation is the word. Let
us all unite in carrying out the
motto of the organization, “Help
us keep the city clean.”

[BLACK-DRAUGHT
THE ORIGINAL
|yVER MEDICINE]
^ A sallow complexion, dizziness,^
biliousness and a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
f ive immediate warning by pain,
ut liver and kidnev troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford’s
Black-Draught never fails to bene
fit diseased liver and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and
ague. It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Bright’s disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re
inforced by Thedford’s Black-
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families live in
S erfect health and have no other
octor than Thedford’s Black-
Draught. It is always on hand for
use in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor.
Mullins, S. C.. March 10, 1901.
I have used Thedford’s Black-Draught
for three years and I have not had to go
to a doctor since 1 have been taking it.
It Is the best medicine for me that Is
on the market for liver and kidney
U troubles and dyspepsia and other
Vfe complaint*. Rev. A. G. LEWIS.
