Mrs. Frances H. Shields, aged 74
years, a prominent and highly respect
ed and beloved resident of Tunnel Hill,
was killed Friday afternoon by the
south-bound Dixie Flyer at Tunnel Hill,
her tragic death being a severe 'shock
to the people of Tunnel Hill where
she had lived long and. had earned the
h : gh place she held in the affections of
the people.
Mrs. Shield left the home of her
daughter, Mrs. A. M. Brewer, to go' to
town and had been cautioned by Mrs.
Brewer to watch for the train. The
presumption is she thought she was on
the sidetrack instead of the main line.
The skull ,was crushed when the engine
struck her, causing instant death.
Mrs. Shields was a prominent mem
ber of the Baptist church, and took an
active part in church work. She was
an earnest Christian woman, charitable
and lovable, and her loss will be deeply
felt in funnel Hill.
The body was taken to Stone Church
for funeral services and interment, Rev.
Mr. Pruitt conducting the service Sun
day.
Mrs. Shields is survived by four
daughters and two sons, as follows
Mrs. Ed Anderson and Mrs. Lishia Wil
liams, of Chattainooga; Mrs. A. M.
Brewer, of Tunnel Hill; Mrs. Guy Rich
ardson, of Ringgold; Dr. J. A Shields,
of Villanow, and Mr. W. W. Shields, of
Dayton, Tenn. In addition to her chil
dren, she is survived by twenty-five
grand and great-grandchildren.
With the city election less than three,
weeks off, the candidates appear a little
leary of entering.
It appears that none of the council-
men whose terms of office expire will
offer for re-election. Councilmen Pur-
year, from the Second ward; Caylor,
from the Third ward; Hill, from .the
Sixth ward, and King, from the Seventh
ward, don’t seem to want any further
service.
In the Third ward, there seems
trouble in getting out a candidate, for-
up to the present, no one has announc
ed from that ward. The Second ward
has an aspirant, and two are out in
the Sixth, and this week, Mr. F. D.

Important Matters Discussed Saturday
—Trustees’ Election Soon—Schools
Are Beginning Winter Term'
The one-day institute for teachers of
Whitfield -county held Saturday at the
court house attracted a good attend
ance, and much of interest was brought
out by-the speakers.
The institute iwas under the direction
of Mr. J. O. Martin, state school super
visor, jwho discussed spelling and other
matters. Mrs. Moore talked of night
schools for adults, wliigh are doing ex
cellent work how in the county, and
Miss 'Burton, district home economics
agent, talked of nutrition.
Mr. Martin called attention to the
school clinic held recently at Alpha
retta, Ga., in which the .children were
examined and minor operations were
performed, the total cost of which
was extremely small as compared to
whpt it would have cost had the chil
dren been taken elsewhere. A simi
lar clinic is being planned for Ring-
gold> and it is probable the work will
be done here within a short time, as
soon as the Hamilton Memorial hospital
completed. Those interested will
take up the matter with the stockhold
ers of the local hospital, and it will, in
air probability, be arranged.
Mr. Martin will return to Dalton
probably in December for a longer in
stitute.
To Elect Trustees.
The regular elections for school trus
tees, to fill vajcancies whieh now exist
and to fill the offices of those whose
terms will soon expire, will be held
over the county Wednesday, Dee. 1.
The schools in the county are be
ginning to open and get down to work
for the winter term. Already a num
ber of the schools have opened, and
the others will open within a short
time.

Crawford in Charge
As Postmaster for
Dalton Post Office
Instructed to Take Charge of Office
Until Postmaster is Elected by
!
>
Senate—Long Service
J. A Crawford is now serving as
postmaster for the Dalton office having
taken charge ofjthe office Friday night.
Mr. Crawford was given the appoint
ment by reason - of having stood the
best examination of the numerous ap
plicants for the office, for, although a
republican himself, he goes in under, a
democratic administration by reason
of the law passed by the ’ democrats
p.'acing postmasters under civil service
regulations.
The local office has been without the
services of a postmaster for many
months, following the resignation of
Postmaster Heartsill. • Now, with Mr.
Crawford, who has had many years’ ex
perience in the work, in .charge, the
service which has been, given since the
vacancy in the office occurred is ex
pected- to be materially improved.
Mr. Crawford was appointed post
master here under the McKinley ad
ministration, and held the office up
through three years of the first Wil
son administration, when Mr. Heartsill
was appointed. That he made a most
capable postmaster is known to all who
had dealings wi$^ the local office. Mr.
Crowford has taken hold with the de
termination to give even better service
than he rendered before. He is being
heartily congratulated by his local
friends on receiving the appointment.
Mr. Crawford’s appointment comes
from the first-assistant postmaster-gen
eral, and final action will be taken by
the senate when congress meets in De
cember. If the appointment is'-ratified
by. that body, his commission will be
issued.

ing of the special (week’s services by
Dr. Thomas S. McCallie, of Chatta

the men’s Brotherhood of the church,

Rev. Josiah Crudup, pastor of the
First Baptist church, offered the open-
ing prayer, and the masterful address
of the evening was by Dr. McCallie.
Dr. McCallie .touched only briefly
on the world war, devoting most of his
time to the “tomorrow” following the
war, upon which the world is just en
tering.
He drew a striking comparison be
tween the "'men of today and the men
of Israel looking across the Jordan into
the “Promised Land,” into which they
were to enter on the morrow.
He told of Him who looked with self
ish eyes, planning what he could do with
the opportunities offered to advance his
own'personal welfare; then of the one
who looked with a higher ambition,
thinking of the advancement of his na

Dr. McCallie spoke of. the present-day

world in power—with the desire to
maintain this supremacy.
