Confederate Memorial Day Will Be Observed Friday Large Attendance Desired at Exercises to Be Held at the First Methodist Church—Lunch to Veterans. Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, a large crowd will assemble at the First Meth odist church to pay. the annual tribute to the heroes of the Southern Con federacy—those who gave up their lires in defense of the Southland, to gether with those who are lingering vet awhile before the final “taps” is sounded. There will be few opportunities left to honor the living veterans, for they are passing out rapidly. Each year sees the “thin grey line” take on addi tional gaps, until all too few of these great old men are left. In view of this, everyone who possibly can should attend the exercises Friday afternoon. Memorial day will, of course, be ob served after all of the veterans are gone. At noon the pretty custom inaugurat ed here years ago of entertaining the veterans at lunch will be carried out iiv the Bryan M. Thomas Chapter, Vnited Daughters of the Confederacy, the lunch to be served the veterans at the First Methodist church by the Daughters. The old soldiers will have time to talk among themselves until 2 o’clock, the time arranged for the exercises to start. The speakers will be Rev. G. W. Yarbrough, Messrs. W. M. Sapp and J. ,S. Thomas, who will each talk for about 10 minutes, the speeches to be inter spersed with music. After the program, a line will be formed, and the crowd will go to the Confederate cemetery for the decora tion of the graves.

Canvass in Dalton Opens Thursday— Special Committees Named—Means Much for the Entire State The campaign for funds for a Great er Georgia Tech will be started here Thursday morning of this week, and C. C. MeCamy, chairman for the coun ty, has announced the committees for the canvass. The committees are as follows: Industries—C. L. Hamilton, George E. Horan and H. L. Smith. “Big Gun” committee—E. P. Davis, Hubert Judd, G. L. Westcott. General committee—F. F. Farrar, H. I’. Manly and John Looper. County and Municipal committee— Frank Manly, J. J. Copeland and H. J. Smith. The campaign is to raise $5,000,000 for a greater Georgia Tech, and a big part of this amount has already been raised in Georgia. Dalton and Whit field county, however, have not yet raised any of the fund. Tuesday afternoon, Charles H. Cur- rens. executive secretary for North west Georgia, with headquarters in Rome, was here to plan the local cam paign. He announced that Northwest Georgia’s quota was $000,000, of which this county’s quota was $40,340, to be payable over a period of five years. The benefits the entire state would derive from such an expansion of Georgia Tech are loo great to be enumerated. The campaign is truly one of investment rather than gift, and this section doubtless will respond liberally. UNION VETERAN DIED AT HOME NEAR COHUTTA H. .7.

Opening May 31 with the Hippie Concert company in a novel musical program, Dalton’s 1921 Chautauqua gives promise of being decidedly the best ever brought here. The Chautau qua will last through June 4. Last year, the Redpath Chautauqua was brought to Dalton for the first time, and the program given was one that appealed to all. This year’s pro gram looks even better than the one of last year. Within the next week or so, the local guarantors will meet and perfect the organization preparatory to putting on the sale of tickets. Last year for the first time the guarantors sold enough tickets to make the Chautauqua pay its way, and the meu behind it this year are confident that last year’s success will be repeated. Relative to the great program to be presented, the Redpath people make the following announcement: Dunbar’s White Hussars, band and male chorus; the great comedy, suc cess, “Nothing But the Truth”; Alton Packard, master cartoonist and hu morist extraordinary; exceptional lec turers and three premier musical com panies—these are notable attractions which are to appear here on the 1921 Redpath Chautauqua. Five big days are crowded with entertainment fea tures and up-to-the-minute lectures. Opening Day. The Hippie Concert company, which appears on the first afternoon, gives a program of unique musical variety. Earl Hippie, feature artist of the com pany. is widely known as “The Wizard of the Xylophone”; and the other mem bers of the company are experienced artists and entertainers of proved popularity. George L. McNutt, known every where as “The Dinner Pail Man,” de livers a stirring lectur on the open ing night. This thought-provoking speaker bases his lecture on a thor ough knowledge of economic problems, including the all-important question of food costs. A McNutt lecture always makes a profound impression. Gretchen Cox, appearing with her company on the second afternoon, has captivated audiences in all parts of the United States. Popular ensemble numbers as well as a sympathetic inter pretation of the best in music render the program a distinct musical event. Metropolitan newspapers and musical journals throughout the country ac cord most enthusiastic praise to Miss Cox, violinist and feature artist of the company. The company also gives a prelude at night. “Gatling Gun” Fogleman. Harry L. Fogleman, known as “Gat ling Gun” Fogleman, because of his rapid-fire verbal delivery—which he frequently speeds up to 300 words a minute—is a dynamic, magnetic lec turer on the fundamentals of success in business and life. For four seasons now on Redpath Chautauqua circuits (Continued on page 3.)

Today members of the board have gone to the west side of the county to inspect (the bridges, and tomorrow, they will go to the northern part of ^he county.

War- mack, commissioners, leave Thursday for Dublin to attend the meeting of the County Commissioners of Georgia. Dunbar’s White Hussars Notable Chautauqua Attraction Dunbar’s White Hussars, baud and male chorus, will be a musical feature extraordinary at the coming Red* path Chautauqua. This popular singing band, appearing in striking white and gold uniforms, presents a program of novelty numbers, entertainment features and clean, clever fun that testifies to the surprising versatility and excellent musicianship of the organization. The name of^Ralph Dunbar, well-known Chicago producer and organizer of the Hussars, sets a seal of superior ity on the entertaining ability and excellent musicianship of the organization. Dunbar’s White Hussars will give a grand night concert and an aftem oon prelude. Special Service for Men Is Announced for Tonight Revival Service Opened Sunday at First Methodist Church—Interest Is Increasing with Each Service. Additional Sidewalks Will Be Built on Orders of City Council POLICE CHIEF SALARY IS AGAIN BROUGHT UP Raised to $150—Watchman Ordered on Emery Street Crossing—Fi nance Committee Report Was Changed—Lively Meeting Additional sidewalk work was voted by city council Monday night, the new work being as follows: West and north side of county’s jail and court-house property.

Looper’s Request Denied. Council heard a request from J. A. Looper & Son that the firm be relieved of placing a sidewalk north of their property, the reason given for the re- qnest being that they needed the use of the double doors in the north side of their building for loading purposes. The request was tabled. Finance Report. The council started out with a rush when Councilman Stewart objected to the adoption of the finance committee report because it contained a voucher that had formerly been turned down by city council, namely: one to pay former Policeman Teasley for services during the holidays, and also to pay for gasoline and other matters. The report was finally adopted with the Teasley and gasoline accounts stricken. More Work for Street Hands. After considerable discussion, coun cil voted to add an hour’s time to the week’s work of the street hands, having them work ten hours each day except Saturdays, and work five hours on Sat urdays. Council favored the suggestion from Mr. Patton that the city build a road to his chert bed near Mineral Springs, ho to pay for the cost of the road in chert for the city’s streets. The mat ter was left to the street commitee with power to act. ChiePs Salary Raised. The salary of Police Chief Bates was put back at $150 and he was made sanitary inspector. This brought a howl from Councilman Stewart who made a motion that council adjourn. When council voted the increase, Mr. Stewart put the body on notice that he would re-open the question at the next meeting. _ The revival services opened at ll o’clock Sunday morning, at the First Methodist church, and present indica tions are that the meeting is going to be an abundant success. Rev. H. C. Emory, the church’s able, earnest pastor, is, himself, conducting the meeting, and is delivering force ful* sermons twice daily. He is being given valuable assistance by “Dick” Boyd, evangelistic song ieader, and F. W. Twilley, pianist, w£o are making the music one of the leading features of the meeting. This week will witness a friendly contest between the men and the women of the church. This evening (Wednesday), at 7:45 o’clock, Rev. Mr. Emory will deliver a special sermon to the men of Dalton, and Thursday evening at the same hour, he will have a message for the women. This doesn’t mean that the services are to be for men only on Wednesday night and for women only on Thursday night, for the public is given a cordial invitation to attend both services. He will, how ever, talk mainly to the men at the service tonight, and to the women tomorrow night. The men and women of the church are working for big crowds at these services. Mother’s Day Program. Next Sunday will bring Mother’s Day, and the occasion will be observed by a special program at the Sunday school and church service at 11 o’clock Sunday morning.
