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 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.

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.

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 tion over the nations of the world, and Dr. McCallie spoke of. the present-day person who gloats over America as the great creditor nation—the leader of the world in power—with the desire to maintain this supremacy.
