REPRESENTATIVE PLANS TO RENAME DISTRICTS Two Tenths and Ninth Now Cause Confusion in Titles Hon. N. A. Bradford, representative from this county, has under consider ation the advisability of offering a bill at the next session of the general assembly, having for its object a changing of the names of Upper 10th, Lower 10th and Ninth districts of this county to Conasauga, Coahulla and Cherokee districts, hoping thereby to eliminate the confusion of the militia districts with the land districts. Before offering the hill Mr. Brad ford will confer with the citizens of these districts and ■will respect their wishes. In the meantime, he invites suggestions from them as to the pro posed change. The two Tenths are partly in the 10th and 11th land districts and the Ninth is partly in the Oth, 10th, 11th and 12th land districts, and more or less confusion arises in abstracting titles. The suggested names are of Indian origin and are considered appropriate. If interested, write Mr. Bradford.

Northern lights seen BY PEOPLE OF DALTON Crowd Estimated at One Thousand Went Through Building—People and Organizations Ask Priv ilege of Furnishing Wards Probably one thousand people on last Thursday “inspected” the Ham ilton Memorial Hospital building, and the unanimous verdict was that the building committee was to be commend ed and commended highly on what had been accomplished. The reception hall was decorated in quantities of flowery. On the mantel was a photograph of the late lamented Mr. G. W. Hamilton in whose rnemory the handsome hospital was built. The Lesche club had charge of show ing the people through the hospital. A book was kept and in it G03 people registered; but there were hundreds who did not. It was a fine chance for the people to see and have explained to them every feature of the hospital, and many took advantage of it. The building, which is of hollow tile and stucco constructioin. covers al most the entire lot, extending from Cleveland to I’entz street, and facing on Waugh street. It is two stories in height, and has a large basement. When completely furnished, it will have an equipment of 42 beds—ample, if is believed, for years to come. In the building are 1!> wards, together with operating room, reception hall, office; kitchen, etc. The floors are of hard-wood, highly polished; and the building is handsomely finished within and without Councilman Dave Stewart, from the Eighth ward, was Tuesday morning given until June 4 to get from the federal court a correction of an order passed by that court cancelling his citizenship papers—this being the ac tion taken by Judge M. C. Tarver Tues day morning when an effort was made to oust Councilman Stewart from his seat on city council. The action to unseat Councilman Stewart was brought by R. L. Bates, police chief; J. H. Robinson, former mayor, and George King, former coun cilman from the Eighth ward, through their attorney, W. E. Mann. Their petition alleged that Mr. Stewart was not a citizen of the United States, and that Be was not, therefore, qualified as a member of city council. Mr. -Stewart, in the hearing -before Judge Tarver, submitted his natural ization papers, and to offset this, Col. Mann presented a copy of the federal court records showing that after the naturalization papers were issued, an other order was passed on November 20, 1916, revoking and cancelling the papers. Mr. Stewart stated to the court that he had no knowledge of this order, and the court gave him until June 4 to present the matter to the federal court and get action. W. M. Sapp, who assisted Mr. Stew art in getting his papers, made a state ment to the court that the proof of Mr. Stewart’s application for citizen ship was made by Mr. J. C. Sapp, now deceased, and Mr. J. H. Gilbert. In one place on the papers, Mr. Gilbert failed to sign, and it was on this tech nicality, according td Mr. Sapp, that the confusion arose. On June 4, the matter will again come before Judge Tarver for settle ment.

GEORGE YARBROUGH AT HAMILTON STREET Dr. George Yarbrough will conduct the Sunday morning services at 11 o’clock at Hamilton Street Methodist church. The public is cordially invited to attend. The series of services held at the First Methodist church closed with the meeting of Sunday night, and as a result of the meeting, much good was accomplished. Rev. H. C. Emory, the church's popular pastor, conducted the services with the able assistance of Dick Boyd and F. W. Twilley, who had charge of the music. The closing day of the meeting brought three excellent services; at 11 o'clock; at 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Mr. Boyd preached to the chil dren, and at 7:4o o’clock Sunday even- when Rev. Mr. Emory delivered the closing sermon. ,4s a result of tlje meeting, fourteen were admitted to membership in the church Sunday. The meeting was devoid of sensa tionalism ; but the crowds attending were large, and there was an earnest ness shown that argues well for the church’s future. Those attending the meeting are unanimous in the belief that the re vival was decidedly the best held here in a long time. It put the people to thinking along better lines, and in spired in hundreds a determination to live cleaner, nobler lives. It stimulat ed members of the church to greater efforts for the future, resulting, there by, in good for the city as a whole. The preaching of Rev. Mr. Emory was forceful and convincing, the mus ic was inspiring and ennobling. On the whole, the meeting was one the best ever held here, the good effects of which will be felt for years to come. Sisk Will Contest Action Ousting Him From the Tax Board Insists He is Freeholder and Su perior Court Alone Has Juris diction in Matter G. AV. Sisk, who was held disqualified by the county board as a member of the board of tax equalizers, and whose place on the hoard was filled by the election of George Dantzler, will con test the action of the hoard. Mr. Sisk came to Dalton Monday for the pur pose of serving on the board; but on the suggestion of Judge Tarver that his service might result in mnch petty litigation on the part of tax payers, he decided to remain off the board un til the matter could be definitely set tled. Judge Tarver further suggested that Mr. DantzTer take no .part in the board’s work until final action was taken. The board, looking over Mr. Sisk’s tax returns, held that by reason of the fact that his tax sheet didn’t show where he had returned any real estate, he was not a free holder and was dis qualified to serve on the board of equalizers. They held* that by reason of this, his seat on the board automat ically became vacant, and the law gave the board the right to fill the vacancy. Mr. Sisk gave in real estate when he was elected on the board, and he in sists that he is still a free-bolder, having a third interest in a farm which is given in by his son and on which he pays one-third of the taxes, the property merely being given in by his son until the land lines can be de fined. He holds further that the law makes it necessary in order to remove man from the board for ten land owners to file a petition in superior court, the court to say as to whether or not the man shall be removed. He insists that the hoard exceeded its authority in removing him, the limit of the board’s authority being to fill a vacancy on the board. Mr. Sisk states that he can prove ownership of real estate, and that the board had no right to remove him. Saturday the board met, and refused to change the action of the meeting on the first Tuesday when the vacancy was declared.

Additional Work Passed Up By City Council—Sewer Extensions to Be |Investigated—Kenner Is Sidewalk Committee Additional sidewalk construction was mapped out at the meeting of city council Monday night, the new streets designated for the permanent side walks being Morris street, from Hen derson street on the north side to Fourth avenue, and from Fourth ave nue on the south side to Fifth avenue; North Depot street on the west side from Long to Tyler street. Council voted to postpone the city’s work of putting in street crossings until the road to the Mineral Springs chert bed could be completed so the street force could get the gravel for the concrete work. It was also voted to have the street force hereafter put in all street crossings. In discussing this, the sidewalk com mittee came in for “investigation, and it was seen that Councilman Ken ner, chairman, had functioned as the committee as a whole. He was com mended for the fine work done, but several of the councilmen intimated that- he had done too much, and thought he should have consulted at least one of the other two members. Mr. Kenner insisted that as chairman he had “power to act.” Sewer Work. A committee, composed of Council- men Kettles, Stewart and Kenner, was appointed to investigate the cost and advisability of extending the sewerage lines on Green street north from Mor ris street, and on West Morris street east from Thornton avenue.
