Advertising Man of Redpath Chautauqua Is Busy Here Today First of Advertising Matter Is Being Posted—Local Organization Next Week Mr. B. F. Armstrong, advertising man for the Redpath Chautauqua, ar rived in the city yesterday afternoon and is busy today posting the first of the advertising matter for Dalton’s chautauqua which opens Tuesday, May HI. for five big, interesting days. Mr. Armstrong states that the pro gram this year is even better than the high-grade program given last year. Mr. Armstrong brings with him the program for the .chautauqua, showing the admission charges for the various attractions. The price of a season ticket will he considerably less than half the amount that will be charged for the individual programs. For seven of the ten entertainments, single ad missions are 55 cents, including war tax; for two, the admission is So cents, and for one, $1.10. From this it is readily seen that it will be to every one’s advantage to purchase a season ticket, the price for which, including war tax. is $2.75 and admits holder to every entertainment. Within the next few days, the local guarantors who are bringing the great entertainment to Dalton people, will meet and Organize for the sale of sea son tickets. Special committees will be appointed, and the ticket sale will be started, in all probability, one day .next week. Next week, another representative of the Redpath Chautauqua will be here to complete the advertising cam paign and assist the local committee in the sale of season tickets. In the meantime, all lovers of real amusement—the kind that is whole some and enjoyable in every way—are urged to get ready’to purchase season tiekets as soon as members of the local committee make the campaign. Last year, enough tickets were sold to make the chautauqua pay its way without the guarantors being forced to make up a deficit, and this year, every effort is going to be made to repeat last year’s success.

The Hamilton Memorial Hospital building was turned over to the hos pital company the last of the week by the builders, and on Thursday of this week, a "house warming” is planned, at which everyone in Dalton will have an opportunity to go through the building and have the various features explained by a committee of ladies from the Lesche club. Monday afternoon, a committee from the directors of the hospital met a committee from the Lesche club in Dr. H. L. Erwin's 6dice, and plans for keeping open house Thursday at the hospital building were discussed, after which the crowd weut to the hospital on an inspection trip. It was decided to have the hours from 4 to 7:30 o'clock and from 9 to 10 o'clock Thursday evening of this week; these hours being selected so as not to interfere with the Methodist re vival. The Lesche club, together with the wives of the directors of the hos pital, will plan the program, which will probably consist of music and a gen eral inspection of the building. The public is cordially urged to attend. A ward will be furnished complete for the crowd’s inspection, and a spe cial committee of ladies will be present so that if anyone desires to furnish a ward as a memorial to anyone, such will he permitted. A number of Dal ton people have expressed a desire to furnish wards. At the meeting Mon day afternoon, Dr. Ault had the figures showing the cost of furnishing the wards. The complete furnishings for a one-bed ward will cost, in round num bers, $125; a two-bed ward, $175, and a four-bed ward, $200. The hospital, wheu completely furnished, will have approximately 50 beds. The hospital building is one of the most conveniently arranged and mod ern hospitals in the entire country. Complete, with the furnishings, it will have cost about $75,000. Hospital for Public. A prominent member of the hoard of directors has-requested* The Citizen to state that the board wants the people to understand that the hospital is not to be a private institution hut is for the people of Dalton and Whitfield county as a whole. It is hoped that eventually the, hospital will he self- sustaining; but no one who needs the hospital will be turned away because of an inability to pay for service ren dered. The building, two-stories and base ment, is constructed of hollow tile and stucco, and is unusually handsome and substantial structure. For the present, it is probable that only about half of the wards will be furnished, the others to he furnished as the need for additional room arises. The building was made large enough to fill all needs for a number of years, it is believed. The furnishings that go into the building will be in keeping with the structure. Only standard hospital equipment will he purchased. It is probable that a little later, the ladies will give a linen shower; but this has not been worked out. The formal opening of the hospital to the public comes at a most appro priate time, for Thursday of this week is hospital day throughout the coun try.

Upon look ing up, he saw what he at first thought was a flying machine slowly descending over the place where he stood. Upon closer observation he beheld a monster bird hovering over him. He at once concluded to take a shot at the huge bird; he fired and killed a large bald eagle. The bird measured five feet and six inches from tip to tip of wings its claws wefe three inches in length and the body the size of a common goose. Judge T. J.

(Continued on last page.) Community Exhibits Are Talked by Fair Officers Informal Meeting Held Saturday and Plans to Get Additional Exhibits for the Fair are Made. At an informal meeting of represent atives of the Whitfield County Fair as sociation and of the Whitfield County Farm Bureau last Saturday afternoon at the court house, matters concerning the 1921 county fair here were discuss ed, and decided enthusiasm was shown. The community . exhibits, which made such an impression at the fair last year, will be worked up this year, and chances are bright for many more exhibits that were shown last year. Waring, Cohutta and Five Springs have all decided to make their commu nity exhibits this year, and other com munities are seriously considering the matter. A special committee is go ing to get busy within a few days and visit the various communities in an effort to get them to enter exhibits this year. Broad Acre, Deep Spring. Cedar Yalley. Center Point and Dug Gap were reported as considering the matter with a probability of putting ou exhibits. Another matter that was informally discussed was the effort that will be made to have a real live stock exhibit at the next fair. B. C. Wilson, presi dent of the fair association, told the meeting that he had made arrange ments for a feed house at the fair grounds, with a responsible man in charge who would see that the live stock was fed and watered. Amusements. The question of amusements came up, and, while no decision was made in view of the fact that there was no formality to the joint meeting and no business could be officially transacted, it was Apparent that the big majority favored the bringing of a high-class carnival company here for the fair. Certain of the communities will have entertainments at the fair, and when this can be worked up satisfactorily, the carnival will he cut out; but, un til the people can he shown that there will lie.enough amusement for the fair without the carnival, this step will not he taken. Rules for Community Exhibits. At the meeting, rules governing the community exhibits were informally made, these rules to he formally rati fied wheu a meeting of the fair of ficials is held. It was decided that each community making an exhibit must use only the things produced in the district. That is, it will not be permissible for a community to go into another commu nity for any part of its exhibit. Fur ther, the entire exhibit must be in place by noon of Tuesday of fair week. After that hour, nothing can be add ed to the exhibit. More Individual Exhibits. It whs also decided at the meeting that work should be directed looking to the bringing in of more individual farm exhibits, and a number of wide awake farmers will be asked to make an individual • exhibit;. It was further decided that automo bile trips into various sections of the county for the purpose of meeting the farmers and getting them interested in the fair should be made during the summer months. Catalogs Soon. The printers are busy at work , on the fair catalogs which will be issued within a short time. Last week, work was started on the advertising section, and this week, the premium list is be ing put in shape. This means that the catalogs will be issued within a few weeks. Interest in the coming fair is being shown on all sides, and a high-class fair in every way is expected for the coming fall. \ ...a' -
