Dalton is the best town in the

Windjammer Bryan does not
seem to be doing much at the
convention.
Self-interest and concrete
selfishness hurt at own worse than

Every day somebody tells The
Citizen that they are going to put

rich.
The Atlanta Journal “covers
Georgia like” the dew,” and . we
might add that it is covering the
democratic convention the same
way.
Marion Butler declined to

convention, and says he has joined

Bryan walks in convention hall at

heard.
The prohibitionists nominated

Indianapolis. One swallow will

Blind Tigers are again run

reported. The police should use
every means at their command to
locate these offenders and bring
them to justice.

to make The Citizen pay, if we
have to run it in connection with
a railroad or two.
Under the above caption the
esteemed Atlanta News discusses
very ably and forcibly the custom
some metropolitan newspapers
have of ridiculing news items
found in the country papers.
Not long since The Citizen had
one of its local items held up to
the people of Chicago, by one of
the Chicago papers, for their
amusement, and it must have done
the work, for the same thing was
soon followed again by the same
paper, and later by a New York
paper. However, The Citizen did
not raise any kick at the time,
taking it as being evidence of a
wide circulation and a readable pa
per. Since our attention has been
called to it by the News, it has
occurred to us that perhaps we
were being made fun of by these
metropolitan papers,when we were
taking it as complimentary. We
may now ask them for an explan
ation, of course requesting them
to select the weapons.
The editorial of the News is as
follows:
It has become the custom among
many of the leading newspapers of the
oountry to clip from their various coun
try exchanges the trivial events which
are chronicled in their local columns
and to star them in their metropolitan
environment of typography.
In a measure it looks comical. There
is really something amusing in the iso
lated statement from the Waterloo,
Ind., “Dawn,’’ that Rebecca Comeagain
enjoyed a visit from her best beau last
Sunday. It is moderately amusing to
have it noted in a great metropolitan
sheet like The Washington Post, for in
Btance, that the weighty charms of Miss
Minnie Ringo, of somewhere in Ken
tucky, have found a happy alliance with
Mr. Jack Avoirdupois.
But there Is really little value in thu^
undertaking to mak§- sport of that de-
bvlifcful Ilfs which exists in the rural
districts. There Is something more than
humor, humorous though it be, in the
little quatrain which says:
‘I would flae from the city’s rule and
law—
From its fashions and forms out
loose—
Togo where the strawberries grow on
the straw,
And the gooseberry grows on the
goose.”
These rural oharms are too important;
they contribute too much to the health
and the wealth of mankind to be ridi
culed in the manner whioh our metro
politan newspapers are continually ridi
culing them.
After all, it is from the rustic fields
and quiet crofts—to employ that dear
old English name—that the men who
mold public opinion, the “men whe
shape the whispers of a throne,” must

of holding up to common ridicule the
sayings and the doings of Minnie Ringo
and her fiance in order that they may be
laughed at by the metropolitan world.
The Citizen has its own staff
corre«pondent in St. Loui«, .and
prints to-day she very latest from
the convention city. The Citizen
always gives its readers every
thing that is going.
ADVERTISE ALL THE TIME.
John P. Haines, president of
the New York Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
makes this declaration:
1. It is supposed that a mad dog
dreads water. It is not so. The mad
dog is very likely to plunge its head to
the eyes in water, thongh he cannot
swallow it and laps it wifh difficulty.
2. It is supposed that a mad dog
runs about, with evidences of intense
excitement. It is not so. The mad dog
never runs about In agitation, he never
gallops; he is always alone, usually In a
strange place, where he jogs along slow
ly. If he is approached by a dog or
man he shows no sign of excitement,
but when the dog or man is nearenoagh
he snaps and resumes his solitary trot.
3. If a dog barks, yelps, whines or
growls that dog is not mad. The only
sound a mad dog is ever known to emit
is a hoarse howl, and that seldom. Even
blows will not bring an outcry from a
mad dog. Therefore, if any dog, under
any circumstances, utters any sound
other than that of a hoarse howl, that
dog is not mad.
4. It is supposed that a mad dog
froths at the mouth. This is not so.
If a dog’s jaws are covered or decked
with white froth, that dog is net mad.
The surest of all signs that a dog is
mad is a thick, ropy, brown mucus
clinging to Bis lips, which he often tries
vainly to tear away with his paws or to
wash away with water.
5. If your dog should be bitten by
any other dog, watch him carefully. If
he Is infected by rabies you will dis
cover signs of it possibly in from six to
ten days. Then he will be restlesR, of
ten getting up, only to lie down again,
changing his position impatiently, turn
ing from side to side and constantly
licking or scratching some particular
part of his head, limbs or body.
He will be irritable and inclined to
dash at other animals, and he will some
times snap at objects which he im
agines to be near him.
He will be excessively thirsty, lap
ping water eagerly and often. Then
there will be glandular swelling about
his jaws and throat, Tf he can, he will
probably Stray from home and trot
Blowly and mournfully along the high
way or across country, meddling neither
with maD nor beast, unless they ap
proach him, and then giving a single
snap. The only exception to this be
havior occurs in ferocious dogs, which
during the early stages of excitement
may attaok any living object in sight.
GOOD ROADS.
When it is dullest advertise the
hardest. The history of every
great successful merchant is the
same. They have advertised most
when business was dullest, and
then when it picks up they are
certain to get more of it than
the ones who cut their advertising
out because business falls off a
little. Because people are not
buying is no sign that they are
not reading and studying your
advertisements They read them
all the time, and when you fail to
put them in the paper they are
disappointed.
Success in advertising, as in
everything else, is in keeping
eveslastingly at it.
The seed you sow now will
bring you a rich harvest next fall.
The time to advertise is now,
and the medium is The Citizen,
Dalton’s greatest newspaper.

The Citizen has of late many
times called attention to the fine
condition of Whitfield county’
roads. They are no doubt better
than the roads of any other North
Georgia county, and for this
Judge Bogle is due the credit.
The judge is what may be properly
termed “a good roads ordinary.”
As time goes on, our roads will
be improved until no county in
the state will have better roads
than old Whitfield. We doubt if
there are many now.
The value of good roads need
not be argued by The Citizen
now, as it has before many times
gone thoroughly over this phase
of the question. The farmers are
the people who receive the bene
fits of good roads, and nobody
realizes this quite as well as the
“hardy handed tillers of the soil.”
Commenting on the value of
good roads, the Columbus En
quirer-Sun says:
The good roads movement eanaot be
pushed too vigorously in Georgia.
There is no public improvement that
speaks in more convincing toneB of a
country’s prosperity and progress than
first-class public highways. They are
one of the country’s best assets.
When a stranger goes into a strange
city there is nothing that impresses him
more favorably than well kept streets
and sidewalks. They are unmistakable
evidences of that city’s progress and
development. This is true of the coun
try. First-class public highways at
once impress the stranger that people
of that country are in a prosperous con
dition; that they want te build up and
develop the country. Such highways
are one of the greatest inducements
that any country can hold out to home-
seekers. The man who wants to better
his condition by a change of residence
is bound to find greater attraction in a
section with good public roads than in
one without them.
Good roads are advantageous in nu
merous ways. Aside from the fact that
they give easy transportation to and
from market, they tend to build up a
country socially, educationally, r6r
ligiously and otherwise. The country
with good roads offers easy communica
tion between the homes of those who
live in it, as well as easy access to the
schools and churches, even though they
may be situated at some distance. In
addition to this, good roads always
enhance the value of property through
which or by which they run, and in this
way in the course of a few years they
pay for themselves.
Georgia has for several years been
enthusiastic for the improvement of her
publio roads, and the movement should
be enoouraged and pushed until every
section of the state has a system of good
THE CONVENTION.
The National Democratic Con
vention is now in session iu St.
Louis, and while no nomination
has yet been made, one is likely
to be made before midnight to
night.
The Citizen has the convention
thoroughly covered by its own
correspondent and it finds that it
is very ably done, and assures its
readers that they can rely on the
correctness of the St. Louis lets
ters, which have all been verified
by telegrams since they were
written in St. Louis.
As is well known there is no
one who is more familiar with
public men and affairs than Mr.
■Reynolds, and his best work is
that of the kind he is now en
gaged in.
It is possible that no nomina
tion will be made until tomorrow,
and it is then a foregone conclu
sion that Parker will be nomi
nated. This morning’s dispatches
indicate that he will go
in on the first ballot, but The
Citizen hardly takes this view of
the situation, feeling that the
“fovorite sons” vote, if nothing
else, will prevent it.
The mention of Grover Cleve
land’s name sets the convention
wild, which indicates there is no
mistaking his popularity and
strength. He is not attending
the convention. Bryan is, but
so far has failed to create enthusi
asm. He is speaking this after
noon, bitterly opposing the money
plank of the platform, and we
suppose everything else that fails
to line up with the Kansas City
platform. However, everything
indicates that the anti-Bryan ma
chine is slowly but surely rolling
over the Nebraskan.

The home run of McFarlan re
minds us of the days of Whitaker.
Payne, the Chattanooga boy,
besides getting a home run, a base
on balls, and a two bagger, ac
cepted all his chances without an
error.
Here’s to Manager Harris.
Now Hayes is gone, we need a
first baseman.
Groves, the Spring Place boy,
is a good hitter, good fielder and
good catcher, and plays the game
from start to finish.
Lightfoot, the old Eastern lea
guer, who plays second base for
Dalton, accepted all his chances
without an error, besides making
good at the bat.
The editor does not want to be
gin the season by knocking, but
we say this, Capt. Pottjngham
ought to keep a coach at third i
base.
