GROUNDS THIS WEEK

Much of Beal Interest—All De
partments Are Well Filled
Officers df the Whitfield County Farm
ers Fair association are being cordially
congratulated by fair visitors on the
fine showing at the fair grounds this
week. It’s,.a great fair in every par
ticular—in the exhibits in every depart
Blent, in the amusement features
The fair this year had its formal open
iTig Tuesday afternoon; but at that
thrift, all the exhibits were not in place.
It was not until Wednesday afternoon
all exhibits had been installed, and
the fair was complete in every detail.
Tuesday night, there was only a fair
crowd at the grounds, about 500. Yes
terday afternoon, and night saw a ma
terial increase, and today, tomorrow
and Friday, great crowds are expected:
The weather has held up well, and with
good weather conditions for the remaind
er of the week, the fair wp be a sue
cess from every standpoint.
Visitors at the grounds are immediate
ly struck with the difference in the ex
hibits of this year, from those of former
years. The agricultural building
crowded with .exhibits of the highest
order.
Farm Exhibits
There are two unusually good indivitl
ual farm exhibits made. John Tibbs,
aways faithful, has a great exhibit, and
the exhibit of Spring Hill farm, put on
by Earl Miller, is another great one
Both show a wide variety of farm prod
ucts, artistically arranged and display
ed to decided advantage.
The community exhibits made by Co
hutta, Waxing and Five Springs show
faa products and much thought in the
arrangement of them. To really appreci
ate the interest and beauty of the com
munity exhibits, it is necessary to take
a trip to the fair grounds and see them.
Home -Demonstration Work
One of, if not the best, of the exhibits
in the agricultural building is that of
the home demonstration work. The can
ned goods of the girls’ canning club
show the great work that is being done
by Miss Jewell Colclough, home demon
etration agent. In addition, there is
the exhibit of the girls’ poultry club
with many charts of home work. The
sewing of the girls’ clubs is displayed,
showing their aptitude with the needle.
The exhibit of the boys’ clubs, includ
ing corn, cotton,, wheat, etc., is shown in
the agricultural building, showing de
cided interest taken in the work under
the ffirectji.en of C. O. Smith, farm dem
onstration. agent. Outride the building
are the fine displays of the pig and calf
clubs.
Some New Features.
A nutrition clinic is a novel feature
in the main building, and it is attract
ing much interest. Here articles of
food good for the child, and those that
are totally unfit axe shown, with
numerous charts. Mrs. Judd re-ceived
from an unknown person a prize of $1
to award the school child who has the
best health book.
The dairy exhibit is another decided
feature of the building. The art of cheese
making is shown at the dairy exhibit,
with a tester for milk for butter fat
content. Numerous charts in this exhibit
explain the great value of milk and milk
products as food. Here milk will be
tested each afternoon of the fair.
a Alongside the dairy exhibits is a great
exhibit made by Mrs. A. P. White, of
lanow, showing the products that
Id be in every farmer’s kitchen—
The women are beginning to register
at the court house, the ice being broken
when one of the woman’s clubs marched
in a body to the court house the middle
of the <wek and put their names on the
county registration books. • Mrs. W. E.
Mann has the distinction of being the
first to register in Whitfield county.
In the crowd with Mrs. Mann were
Mrs. B. A. Tyler, Mrs. Paul B. Trammell,
Sr, Mrs. Julian McCamy, Mrs. F. K.
Sims, Mrs. H. L. Smith, Mrs. C. M. Hol
lingsworth and Miss Frances Flemister.
This means that in the elections after
this year, they ore qualified voters.
Owing to the Georgia registration
laws, it is not thought women can’ par
ticipate in the election of November 2;
but it wouldn’t hurt for them to regis
ter and be ready to vote in all matters
after this year.
In the city, there is a difference. This
year’s registration is to be used in the
coming city election in December, and
the women, by going to Clerk Carroll’s
office can qualify for participating in
the city election the second Wednesday
in December. \
The city registration books are open,
and while no women had registered up
to this week, they can go to the clerk’s
office and register up to ten days prior
to the election, when the books' will
be closed and turned over to the reg
istrars.
This year, the women can say whom
they want to represent their wards for
councilman—that is in the four wards
that will elect. In addition, they can
vote for clerk and city treasurer. The
mayor is not to bo elected this year.
Those people who have been talking
about the women holding back and not
voting will have to swallow their words,
for the women are going to vote and vote
in large numbers. It is highly probable
that a bigger percentage of the women
voters will participate in the elections
than the men. Just mark that down
and see if it doesn’t come to pass. '

(Continued on last page.)
At a meeting of city council Monday
night, announcement was made that Po
liceman Bearden had resigned from the
force, and the police committee was
instructed to confer with Chief Bates
and name his successor, the selection to
be ratified when counsil meets the first
Monday night in November.
Mr. Bearden was elected two weeks
before by unanimous vote of council,
and his resignation came as a surprise.
Councilman Staten intimated to city
council just where the trouble lies in
keeping a police force. He stated that
the policemen"were chased all over the
country in an effort to apprehend whis
key runners before they reached Dal
ton, and they didn’t like it. He said
that jf the police were kept in Dalton
to preserve the order here, doing the
work for which they were paid, the
city would have better luck keeping
them.
In other words, he intimated that
they were, chased around until their
necks were long with thirst, their tong
ues being sunburned from hanging out
after the strenuous exercise.
No aetion was taljen by city council
however, Mr. Staten saying he wanted
the council to know just what the trou
ble was.
Councilman Kettles brought up the
question of needed repairs to the roof
of Fort Hill school buildings, and Mayor
Wood appointed a committee, composed
of Councilman Kettles, King and Stacy,
to look after the matter.
The question of the objection of Mr.
Smith to the emptying of the sewer on
his property in the northern part of the
city was referred to the city attorney.
Farmers Will Hold
Important Meeting
Today at the Fair
Cotton Warehouse Question to Be Pre
sented by Special Committee—
Gordon Lee to Take Part
Congresman Gordon Lee is a promi
nent visitor here today, coming for the
purpose of attending the Whitfield
county fair and to take part in a farm
ers’ meeting to be held at 3 o’clock this
afternoon at the fair grounds.
Mr. Lee went to the cotton conference
at Washington last week, and Tuesday
attended a cotton meeting in Atlanta.
He will have mueh interesting informa
tion for the cotton farmers here, and
the meeting will, in all probability, be
largely -attended, for owing to the low
price of cotton, the matter is of vital
interest to all who have produced cotton
this year.
In addition to the farmers, many busi
ness men will attend the meeting. Last
week, a big meeting of farmers and busi
ness men <was held at the court house,
and, after discussing the matter, a com
mittee was appointed to look into the
matter of a bonded warehouse here
where the farmers who didn’t want to
sell their cotton at the prevailing prices,
could store it and get money on -a ware
house receipt, enabling them to hold
their cotton if they desired.
This committee got busy this week and
made arrangements whereby the bonded
warehouse can, in all probability, be es
tablished if the farmers want it.
committee will report the proposition to
the meeting this afternoon.
J. F. Murphy Shows Please
All Visitors to the
County Fair
SHOWS OFFER CLEAN
AMUSEMENT FOR ALL
Best Midway Fair Has Ever Secured—
Six Good Shows, Two Rides and
Many Concessions—Something
Going on All the Time
The J. F. Murphy Shows, furnishing
the amusement feature for the Whit
field county fair this week, are pleasing
visitors at the fair grounds,, the general
expression being that the shows are by
far the best ever seen in the local
grounds.
There are six showB, and they are all
good ones. The Society Cirens, the Ne
gro Minstrel show, the Wild Animal
show, Murphy’s Busy City, Nepten and
the Mystery Girl are all well worth
going to see. In addition, the Ferris
wheel and the Aeroplane swing are pleas
ing those who like to ride.
With the rides and shows, there is a
fine line of concessions, and a first-class
American band—fact is, the fair is un
usually fortunate this year in lining up
the Murphy shows.
The shows reached here Monday morn
ing and all day and part of Tuesday
was required to get up the tents and
get ready for the visitors.
Murphy’s Busy CSiy, here two years
ago, is again )>eing viewed by hundreds
of people, for it is always a sight of
interest. It is a miniature busy eity,
with the accent decidedly on. the busy,
and it pleases all kinds of people.
The Society circus is a great show,
with trained animals, being a small
circus that pleases.
The Minstrel show, always a place to
forget the blues, is a good one, and the
Wild Annual show furnishes a good
assortment of animals, of interest to all.
The midway this year presents a clean
and neat appearance, and there’s noth
ing .to be found in any of the shows
that would offend anyone in the least.
There’s plenty of fun on the midway
for all. At night, the grounds are brU-
linatly illuminated by thousands of
lights, and fun and merriment hold un
disputed sway. It’s a place where the
man discouraged over the eotton price
prospect can go and forget his trouble^
and then -be ready to meet tbe situation
as it is.
The Murphy shows made the big jump
here from Rochelle, being put to big
expense to reach Dalton and the Whit-
fiield county fair, and, giving as they
do, an unusually god show, they deserve
the hearty patronage of all.
If the warehouse is bonded for the
farmers, there will be a licensed grader
and weigher secured.
At the meeting this afternoon, tie
question will be token up and discussed
at length, so all information ean be
given in order for those who are con
sidering the matter to give it intelligent
decision.
Mr. Lee, who was prominent in the
work of getting the warehouse bill
through congress, will be here to give
the people an intelligent idea of just
what the law is and tell them how the
bonded warehouses have been operated
at other places.
