§!§ FIRE L0S§
To Mr. John T. Holland Early This
Morning.
One of the biggest blazes seen
in Dalton took place this morn
ing about three o’clock.
The long, frame warehouse of
Mr. John T. Holland caught fire
from some unknown cause, apd
with several car loads of cotton
seed hulls were burned.
The fire was discovered about
three o’clock and the alarm turned
in, but owing to the inflamability
of the building and contents the
department did good work in pre-
yeiiting the ffames spreading tp
the buildings and tanks of the
Standard Oil Co.
The destroyed property was in
sured for about fifteen hundred
d''liars, but Mr. Holland told The
Citizen he would be loser to a
considerable extent, which his
friends hope will be reduced when
his memorandum of contents can
be footed up.
Thanks the Veterans.
At the monthly Confederate
Veterans meeting last Saturday
the following note was read.
My Dear Friends;—Words can-
pot express to you my appre
ciation of the, beautiful service
sent me on my wedding day.
Jt is both handsome and useful,
and it wifi alvyays be a pleasure
to us. I prize it more than any
of my possessions, and I will
treasure it all the years of my
life. It is so dear to me because
it is the beautiful expression of
love of men for whom I would do
any service, and who hold such a
warm place in my heart. My
friends, { am trply and deeply
grateful to you fpr the honor you
have conferred upon me. It is the
pride of my life that I am a
daughter of the Confederacy, and
a ny time that I can serve this
camp in any way I am yours to
command. My husband joins me
in most sincere and heartfelt
thanks to you. With love to
each veteran, I am faithfully your
friend,

Since the night Jasper Carter
shot Gentry McNew and killed
himself on Collins street, the
police have had to deal with more
mysterious disappearances, in
cluding the celebrated Kloecker
case, than ever before in the his
tory' of Atlanta.
The Carter-McNew case seem
ed to bring about a carnival of
suicide, murder and disappear
ances which is without precedent
in police annals.
Quickly following the Carter
McNew tragedy came the news of
the mysterious disappearance of
Sophie Kloecker from her home
351 Grant street. Two days later
her dead body was found in the
pool at Lakewood, and although
the general opinion about the case
is murder, th^mystery has never
been cleared up.
On the same day Miss Kloeck
er disappeared, E. E. Richard, a
young boilermaker of Newnan,
who had been in Atlanta for only
a short time, left his boarding
house at 172 Smith street to go to
work on the new bridge of the
Seaboard Air Line railway at
Bolton, where he had fust secur
ed a job, and he has never been
seen since. Despite dilligent
search, no trace of Richard has
yet been found.
On Wednesday morning, June
1st, W. W. Gresham, 30 years
old, of 55 Leacli street, arose
early and told his wife that he
was going to a nearby grocery to
buy some things for breakfast.
Gresham never came back, and
despite the fact that his friends
have been doing all they can to
assist the police to locate him, no
news has yet been received.
Saturday, E. M. Mayfield, 51
years old, of 562 Martin street, a
carpenter employed at the South
ern Railway shops, disappeared in
the afternoon after having re
ceived his salary. He was seen
during the afternoon with a mar
ket basket over his arm contain
ing groceries and from all indica
tions, intended to return to his
home early in the evening. He
never reached his home and never
sent any word to his family.
On Monday, June 6, W. T.
Arnold left his home at 88 Jett
street. He has not returned and
his wife has made every possible
effort to locate him. She has
notified the police and a search
has been made but Arnold is still
missing.
Custer, S. D., June 7.—After
lying thirty-six hours in her coffin
Mabel Fearing, the five-year-old
daughter of C. M. Fearing, has
been revived. The child was
saved through the intervention of
Dr. E. S. Norton, a relative, who
was at the house to attend the
funeral. Dr. Norton noted the
rosy cheeks and unchanged ap
pearance of the child and refused
to permit the coffin to be closed.
He called other physicians and an
effort was made to revive the
child. At last signs of a returning
animation were noted. Half an
hour later the stethoscope indi
cated a return of strong heart ac
tion. An hour later the child
was sleeping in the arms of its
mother. With proper care the
child will soon be in an advanced
convalescent stage.
Caned Colonel Brown.
One of the most pleasant events
of the year for the Crown Cotton
Mill, took place Saturday at noon,
when the operatives gave Colonel
J. W. Brown a fine gold headed
cane with their compliments, and

it. The presentation speech was
made by Mr. Waters for his fellow
workers and accepted in a neat
speech by Colonel Brown, who
leaves them to take charge of the
mill in Cartersville.

Hightower & Talley Want Every
Catarrh Sufferer to Use Hyomei
and Be Cured.
Statistics show that at least 97
out of every 100 persons in this
state suffer from catarrh in some
form.
While the disease is one of the
most common, it is also one of the
most dangerous and offensive,
leading to consumption and other
diseases of the respiratory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyo
mei and its introduction in this
section by Hightower & Talley,
every method of treatment had
been found worthless.
The discovery of Hyomei and
its growing popularity has already
reduced the percentage of those
suffering from catarrh. This
wonderful remedy is the simplest
and most pleasant of treatments.
Put 20 drops of Hyomei in the
pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and breathe it for a
few minutes four times a day.
Relief will be seen after the first
treatment anda complete cure will
soon follow. Breathe the Hyomei
in this way, and the catarrhal
germs even in the most remote air
cells are destroyed. The irritated
mueons membrane is soothed and
healed, and perfect health
restored.
Hightower & Talley say to all
catarrh sufferers, “Let us help
you to health, we are confident
Hyomei will cure, so confident, in
fact, that we guarantee to refund
your money if it fails. A com
plete outfit costs but $1, and if it
does not help you, your money
Mr. w in be returned promptly.”
