The city council Monday night play

size of the audience, they should have
put on a better show—especially since
a tent show here for the week gave
way to council and put on no show
Monday night. The crowd was disap

to put on any spectacular performance
with the white lights.
That the people were expecting some

Whitfield National Farm Loan \
Association Is Formally
Organized Here
CRAYTON WILLIAMS
IS MADE PRESIDENT
Those Desiring Federal Farm Loans
Should Consult Secretary, J. J.
Copeland, at Bank of Dalton
—Committees are Selected
The Whitfield National Farm Loan
Association was organized at a meet
ing of farmers Saturday at Cohutta,
the association starting with a mem
bership of twenty. The following offi
cers were elected: Crayton Williams,
president; J. C. Boyd, vice president;
J. J. Copeland, secretary-treasurer; T.
J. Cooper, Mark Williams, S. H. Wil
son, G. R. Shields and W. W. Seaton,
directors; W. W. Seaton, G. M. Tatum,
R. O. Kimsey, loan committee.
At present, the membership of the
association is confined almost solely
to the Cohutta section; but it will be
made countrywide, and when this is
done, each section will be given recog
nition on the committees.
At the meeting in Cohutta, others
wanted to join; but owing to the fact
that only twenty application blanks
were secured, it was impossible to ac
commodate all, and additional blanks
have been ordered.
Any farmer in the county desiring a
loan from the government can take
membership in the association, there
being no cost to memberships. If a
man has clear title to his property
and the loan committee passes favor
ably on his application, he can borrow
money from the government at the rate
of 6 per cent. The loans are made for
not less than five years or more than
40 years, and the payments on the
loans are such that a part of the prin
cipal is retired at each payment.
All applications for loans should be
made to the secretary-treasurer, Mr.
J. J. Copeland, cashier of The Bank
of Dalton. Already there are many
applications, and it is probable the
farmers will borrow several hundred
thousand dollars from the government
to tide them over.
The organization will prove of ma
terial help not only to the farmers but
to the section as a whole, for it will
bring in additional money to be put in
circulation, and it will relieve the
banks, giving them additional funds
to put into business channels.
Any farmer desiring information rel
ative to the association can obtain
same by seeing Mr. Copeland at The
Bank of Dalton.

The Quarles Sisters quartet made a
big hit at the singing. These four
young women make up an excellent
quartet, and their presence was truly
appreciated. Prof. MeD. Weams, of
Calhoun, was also present, adding to
the interest in the singing. His little
daughter favord the crowd with sev
eral selections.
Instead of diminishing, interest in
these union singings continues to in
