Percy, ♦ + 4444444 + 44 + + 4444 The city election to be held here next Wednesday is of general interest, owing to the unusual features connected with it, for while the interest that is always shown in the election of mayor, police clref and recorder is lacking, this be ing what is called an “off year,’’ still Dalton,' for the first time in its history, lias a woman candidate for public office, and the women are going to help hold the election. Miss Mary Wheeler is a candidate for clerk in opposition to Clerk W. M. Carroll, who is a candidate for re-elec tion. Then, in the Sixth ward, genuine interest attaches fo the race for coun cilman, for two brothers are candidates for the office, and the warmest kind of a fight has developed, with three men, Walter Kenner, Will Kenner, Jr.,vand L. B. Lawton, rolling logs. Indications are the contest is going to be a close one in the sixth. Two Races Develop. Last week, it appeared that J. W. Williams and F. .D. Percy would he elected without opposition as council man from the iSeeond and Seventh wards, respectively; but there’s going to be no easy sailing for anybody. E. E. Bailey and W. M. Painter state they are in the race in the Second ward, and J. L. Murphy has entered in the Seventh. This makes certain opposi tion to all who want to hold any of the city offices. There’s a lively race for treasurer, with Toon Gilbert and George Spring- field both wanting the job. _ In the Third ward, it appears that the candidates. are J. N. Caylor, the only retiring member of the present council who is seeking re-election, and T. F. Pierce and J. T. Vick. There’s plenty of interest in the election of next week, and, with the women voting, a record vote is ex pected. Mr. Murphy’s Announcement. Mr. J. L. Murphy makes his formal announcement for councilman in this issue of The Citizen,'and, although he is entering late, he has .'entered with the determination of giving a good ac count of himself. Mr. Murphy is a ibuieher in the em ploy of Bowen Bros., and is one of Dalton’s good, steady citizens, being a man of many excellent traits. Be ing popular among many people, he will make a good race for the office. His announcement is as follows: For Councilman. To the Voters of the Seventh Ward: Desiring to represent my ward on city council, I hereby announce my candidacy, subject to the election of Wednesday, Dec. 8. If elected, I will at all times work for the best interests of the city. I will appreciate your vote and help in the election. Respectfully, J. L. Murphy. Mass Wheeler for Clerk. Miss Mary Wheeler, Dalton’s first woman to offer for public office, is a candidate for city clerk, and she has entered into the campaign with .the de- Call Is Made for Volunteer Teachers For Night Schools Work Badly Needed in Some Sections and Adults Really Desire to At tend School Those sponsoring the night schools for adulth are gratful to the following who have kindly volunteered to help in the several communities: MeGaughey’s—Mr. and Mrs. Clark. Tunnel Hill—Mr. Kimsey and Miss Head. Elk City—The Misses Dellinger, Mrs. Freeman. Good Hope—Mr. Dantzler. Cohutta—Mr. Neal and MisB Rogers. Center Point—Mr. Bird, Misses Keen, Jones apd others. Union Point—Mr. Molten. Tilton—Mr. Carter and others. Deep Springs—Mrs. Williams, Miss IsbTl and Miss Souther. Dawnville—Mr. Souther. Other places have been visited but no one volunteered to teach. Relative to this, Mrs. Moore, in charge of the work here, says: “The thing that is so heart-breaking is the fact that the people who need the work are so anxious for it, and per sons capable of teaching won’t offer any help. “Any pison with a common school eduction and common sense can teach the work as outlined by Mr. M. L. Brit tain. I ask that the people of the coun try rally to this most noble Home Mis sionary cause. ” The books, pencils and tablets are furnished by Col. Martin, of Dalton, and Mrs. Judd is paying all other ex penses. Mrs. Elizabeth Moore is em ployed by Mrs. Judd to help organize classes in the county. She is located at the Maples Rest-Room in Dalton. Call on her and she will come to any and every school district in the county and start the classes off for you. See to it that your district has a class organ ized and that every person in your dis trict has a chance. Superintendent J. D. Fields has been largely instrumental >■ in making the work a success. termination to let the people know she is in the race. Fro5fi all sides, she has been promised warm support, both by men and women voters, and the out come of the clerk’s race is being watch ed with decided interest. Miss Wheeler has been, for a number of years, a stenographer, and ’s a young woman of ability, being fully capable of' acceptably filling the office to which she aspires. She promises, in her an nouncement, courteous, efficient service in the event of her election. Her an nouncement is as follows: For Clerk. To the Voters of Dalton: I am a candidate for cle.rk, and will appreciate deeply your vote and influ ence in my behalf in the election of December S. If you elect me as city clerk, I will give a courteous, efficient administration of the affairs of the office. 'Respectfully, Mary Wheeler. Bailey for Councilman. Mr. E. E.

To the Voters of the Second Ward: I am a candidate for alderman for tie Second ward, and solicit your vote and influence. If elected, I promise to give a clean-cut, business administra tion as far as lies in my power so to do.

Bailey. •RTRT.E CONFERENSE MOST INTERESTING Plans Being Made Now for Bigger Conference Nest Year The Bible Conference held at the Baptist church here last week was a great success. There' iwere not a^ many ministers in attendance as had been ex pected; but there were about twenty here in addition to the teachers and lecturers, and those who were present expressed themselves as being highly gratified at the work of the conference. It was decided by unanimous vote i hold the conference again next year, i will probably be held in the early Empty Stocking Fund Com mittee Ready to Re ceive Donations MONEY TO BE WELL SPENT AS FORMERLY Committee Will Decide on Methods of Helping Needy During Coming YuldtS.de — People Asked to Give Generously The Empty Stocking Fund committee is ready to receive contributions to be used for bringing Christmas cheer to the hearts of the city’s poor. Just how the committee will spend the money this year will be worked out and announced later—that is whether there will be a Christmas tree for the youngsters of the poor or a distribution of food and cloth ing, or both—at any rate, the money will be carefully and wisely spent, as it has been in the past, and all who give to the fund can do so with the knowl edge that their contribution is going to be used to advantage. The Empty Stocking fund idea, start ed years ago, has been a happy feature of Dalton’s Christmas observance of the past. It has been the means of mak- ing glad the hearts of many little chil dren, who, otherwise, would have had no “Santa Claus.” 'It has also brought bodily comfort to the older people who were not fortunate so far as the world’s goods were concerned. Baskets of food, warm clothing, fuel, etc., have been sent into all sections of the city, the committee handling the fund being well acquainted With conditions and seeing i that all worthy cases received attention. While the work has not been, perfect, it has been just as near to it as is possible, and all acquainted with the workings of the Empty Stocking fund committee know this. This year, you have much for which to feel kindly toward the world in gen eral, and a good way of showing this is to share with those who are not so for tunate as you are. Send in $1 or $5 or $10 or any larger sum, either to Dr. Frank Sims, who is permanent chair man of the copunittee, or to T. S. Mc- Camy at the Citizen office, and your con tribution will be acknowledged through the columns of The Citizen and will be applied to the Empty Stocking fund.

Dr. Railey, of Atlanta, did not get here to the conference. He was de tained by sickness. Dr. O’Hara, Dr. Purser and Dr. Gugate were here, and their lectures Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night were great ly enjoyed by those who heard' them. The day sessions of the conference were given to the study of the Bible and methods of church work. Rev. Josiah Crudup and Dr. O’Hara are already planning for a larger con ference next year. Two Candidates for Justice of Peace in Saturday’s Election T. C. McBryde and T. J. Bryant Candi dates — Six Offer for Bailiff — Thousands to Be Elected Next Saturday will bring Georgia’s greatest election, for in every militia district in the. state, there will be a justice of the peace and -two constables elected. In Whitfield county, there are thir teen imilitia districts, which means that Whitfield county will elect 39 officials— 13 justices of the peace and 26 con stables. In the 872d district, in which Dalton is located, • Judge T. C. McBride and Mr. Tom Bryant are candidates for justice of the peace. Judge McBride ad no opposition up to this week when Mr. Bryant entered the face. In each of the thirteen districts of Whitfield cbnnty, a justice of the peace will be elected. In practically every instance the justice whose time expires will offer for re-election, and few will have any opposition. The race for constable here is a free for all. With two to be elected, there are six candidates out after the offices. J. M. Cash and J. N. Leonard have both announced in The Citizen, and it’s certain they will run the race through. W. B. Callahan, . N. W. Bar ry, J. L. Brandon and J. W. Clark are also in the lineup.. There are probably, throughout the state, something like 10,000 men running for these offices, and there are about 7,500 office holders to be elected, this is figuring on 2,500 militia districts, which is probably in the neighborhood of the number. The greatness of the election can be readily appreciated by reading these figures. McBryde’s Announcement. Mr. McBryde, who makes formal .an nouncement of his candidacy this week, has served as justice of the peace with decided ability in the past, his court being run in a systematic manner. His fairness and unquestioned integrity have made him a moif^capable official. His announcement follows: For Justice of the Peace. I am a candidate for Justice of the Peace, and I will greatefully appreciate your vote and influence on Dee. 4th, 1920. T. C. McBryde.

C. Tarver here Friday morning, the hearing being continued until December 15, at which time, ac cording to the court, it will be re sumed provided any additional' facts/ that would tend to show Petty- should be allowed to make bond, should devel op. Judge Tarver ordered the Murray county sheriff to take the prisoner back to the county jail' at Cbatsworth, and he also ordered Marion Millsap, one of the witnesses who testified in the hear- ing, put in jail hdre -for contempt of court. The petition was brought by Petty’s attorneys in an effort to show that the defendant should be admitted to bail, they making the contention that Pet ty, when he killed Huffman, was acting in self defense. Petty’s statement, while adm tting that he shot and killed Huffman, was that Huffman was advancing on him with a heavy “mash” stick at the time he shot him. The killing occurred at an illicit distillery in Murray coun ty several weeks ago, it being alleged that the moonshiner’s outfit was the property of Huffman. Betty also ad mitted that he was in partnership with Huffman, but that the partnership was dissolved about two months prior, to the killing. . ■ i. The attitude tff Marion Millsap, one of the witnesses on the stand, was such as to cause Judge Tarver to order him to jail for contempt of court, to be held until he would frankly answer the questions asked him. Long, Useful Life Is Ended in the Death of Mrs. McCutchen Beloved Resident’s Passing Is Truly Grieved* by All Dalton—Injury in Fall Caused Death GREAT PICTURE COMING TO CRESCENT THEATRE “Up in Mary’s Attic” to Be Shown Here Next Saturday Those hungering for a picture play that will tie ail of their emot’ons in a deep knot' and captivate them with its unbounded humor should see “Up In Mary’s Attic” at the Crescent Thgatre, Saturday. The opening title announces this picture as a Fine Arts production. It is a six-reel comedy directed by W. H. Watson and fea tures Eva Novak, Harry Gribbon and a galaxy of beautiful girls. “Up In Mary’s Attic” is an excel lent comedy, free from cheap trickery andj slapst’ck. There are no exag gerated situations, aimed too directly to amuse the spectator. On the con trary it depends for its humor on its wholesome idea and spontaniety. In other words here is a picture which has a story, told with a dash of pep and ■ humor. , Eva Novak and Harry Gribbon in the leading roles play with plenty of spirit. Miss Novak makes a most appealing boarding school girl, and her efforts to hide her baby and the fact that she is married to-the athletic instructor are rich with humorous possibilities. Mr. Gribbon needs no introduction to the habitual movie-goer. He is asknowl- edged to be one of the cleverest come dians of the day. No actor ,on the* screen has more pantomimic ability. A gesture, a wink of the eye, and he has his audience laughing. ’ There are all the elements in this picture which go to make up good entertainment. Your money will be well spent if . you choose to see it. NEW RECTOR TO PREACH SUNDAY AT ST. MARK’S Sunday, Dec. 5th, there will be morn ing, services at St. Mark’s Episcopal church to which all are cordially in vited. The new pastor, Mr. Gasque, of Atlanta, will -conduct the service or preach. Having been active in “wel fare work ’ ’ during the w.ir, serving as a Y. ML C. A. secretary, he doubtless will be quite popular with the young people and expects the cooperation of all Episcopalians. As the result of a fall susta’ned' on Tuesday of last week, Mrs. F. C. MeCutehen, relict of- the late Judge Cic-ero D. MeCutehen, died shortly after noon Monday, the death of this beloved resident of D&lton causing the deepest sorrow throughout this section where she had spent most of her long and use ful life. Mrs. MeCutehen was 87 years of age, and was, up to the accident which caused her death, blessed with excellent health. He life : was a most detive one. Prior to- her marriage, Mrs. McCut chen was Miss Frances Cornelia Kelly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davis Kelly and a member of a prom inent North Carolina fam’ly. She was horn in North Carolina January 19, 1834, and, at the age of 11 years, moved with her family to LaFayette, where she was married to Mr. C. D. MeCutehen, a young lawyer, on April 27, 1854. They moved from LaFayette to Dalton short ly after the war between the states, and it was here that her husband was elect ed judge, of the superior courts over which he so ably presided for a num-' ber of years. ' * Of the union eight children were born. Three of the children, Mrs. Jas per Satterfield, Mrs. Albert G. Douglas and Gu^ McCutchen, the latter of whom died in infancy, preceded here, and the. other five, Mrs. George *L. Hardwick, Sr., of Cleveland, 'Tenn.; Mrs. F. T. Hardwick and Mrs. P. G-. Walker, and Messrs. C. D. and F. K. McCutchen, of this city, survive her. In addition to her five children, one sister, Mrs. M. E. Bitting, survives her. Mrs. McCatchen was a gentle woman, possessing a nobility of character that attracted to her many admirers, and her gentle goodness made for her lasting friends. She was a member of the Methodist church, and her religion was strikingly shown in her daily walk— she was, to a marked degree, charitable and ever thoughtful of the comfort and happiness of others. Typical of her eharity was a remark she made to her children shortly before her death, when she had them promise th^t when she died, instead of buying many costly floral tributes, they would put the mony into a fund to be given to the needy children of Dalton. The. spirit of helpfulness and unself ish 'sacrifice that characterized the noble womanhood of the old South was hers to a marked extent. She perform ed her task courageously and unfalter- ingly, leaving to her children the herit age of -a long life, spent in usefulness and service., Hers was truly a beautiful character, and the city as a whole la ments her passing. Tuesday afternoon at 2 o ’clock, many friends and admirers assembled at her home on South Thornton avenue from which the funeral service was conduct ed by Rev. Johq F. Yarbrough, assisted by Rev. H. C. Emory, after which in terment was in West Dill cemetery. The many floral tributes were typical of the life that was ended—beautiful and sweet. , Among the’ out-of-town relatives and friends here for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. George L. Hardwick, Sr., Mr. G. L. Hardwick, ” Jr., Mr. Cicero Hardwick, Mrs. Sullins Stuart and Mrs. Hal Moore, of Cleveland, Tenn.; Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Hogshead, Mrs. W. G. Evans and Mr. Emmett Newton, of Chattanooga; Mrs. Will Patton, of Sweetwater, Tenn.; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Satterfield, of Macon; Mrs. J. E.-San ders and. son, Mr. James Sanders, Jr., of Alton Park, Tenn.; Mr. Kelly Bit ting and daughter, Miss Susie Scott Bitting, of Summerville. With Men and Women to Vote .

Small Registration. The registration is unusually, small- this year, being less than last year ’s in spite of the fact that the women* will be permitted to vote. In only one ward is the registration around what it should be, and that is the Third, where • • 309 have registered. Th’s, however, is fully 100 short of the number en titled to register in the ward. A notice able feature connected with Jhe regis tration of the women is that in the down town wards, the registration of women is by far heavier, than in the wards ia the northern* and ; southern part of the city* In .the First ward, the largest ward in Dalton, the registration is - very small -—on.y 119. More than this number have been voting in past eity elections in the First, and that was- when the men only could register and vote. In none of the wards is the. registration anything like what it should be. Tie total registration for the election 0 is only. 1,170, with the books in the hands of the registrars now’ This i£ about 300 less than the registration of last year, when men only could vote. Here’s the registration by wards be fore- the registrars revise the lists; Firsf ward 119 ■Second ward 100 Third ward 309 Fourth ward' 133 Fifth ward 147 Sixth ward 195 Seventh ward 113 . Eighth ward 54^ $ 4* 4 . Total .1,170 Hue Order Expected. ' Owing to the-fact that the women will assist in holding the election and will also vote, the best o^ordier is ex pected to prevail. Since the djty was divided into wards, the elections have been orderly, and this year’s is ex pected to be • especially so. The polling places will open next Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock and will close at 6 o’clock in the afternoon. The candidates, the names of whom ap pear elsewhere in this issue, are ready and waiting for the election. 'ZiiSiSsSZ&Zi ' » - - V; ,’y -- . - - v ite'-jk - . .
