. On motion of Councilman Staten,
the street committee was relieved of
the work of seeing that sidewalks
were laid in/the northern part of the
city which had previously been order
ed laid, and Mayor Wood appointed a
new committee, consisting of Council-
men Staten, Kettles and Robertson.
The Southern road requested that
they not be forced to fix the sidewalks
on their right of way at Long and
Tyler streets, !but , council voted to
give them 30 days in which to do the
work. If not done by that time, the
city will let the contract, v Council also
voted to give the property owners ten
days in which to lay the walk order
ed on Emery street between McCamy
and Railroad street, and the ones on
Spencer street where sidewalks had
not already been put down were giyen
15 days.
Councilman Staten called for side
walks on the east side of Luckie street,
from Tyler to Matilda street, and on
the north side of Tyler, from Luckie
to North Selvidge. This wa^ voted
by council. He then made a motion
that Waterworks street be opened
from Luckie to Selvidge street, and
that a sidewalk be laid on the north
side. This was also passed.

last Friday afternoon from peritonitis.
Mrs. Crudup was stricken Monday, and
Tuesday she was taken to the Hamilton
Memorial.'hospital, where she under
went an operation for appendicitis.
Peritonitis had developed, and Thurs
day afternoon, another operation as a
last resort was performed. Her death
occurred shortly afterward.
Seldom has Dalton been so severely
shocked as was the case when news'of
her death reached the people, for Mrs.
.Crudup was one of this city’s most
deeply loved matrons, her many ex

being appreciated by those with whom
she came in contact and bringing to
her the love and esteem of Dalton peo
ple as a whole.

The race for police chief developed
this week, with prospects bright for
the liveliest kind of a campaign for
the office. Jap N. Leonard was the
first to bring in his announcement. He
was followed shortly afterward by
Rembert Kettles, present chief.
Mr. Leonard was born and reared
in this city and is well known through
out Whitfield county, having many
.friends who are sure he will run a
good race. He has never asked for
city office; but he was a candidate for
constable of the S72d district and was
elected by a big majority. He lias
acceptably filled this office. His an
nouncement is as follows:
The gold stars on the Serv
ice Flag, now folded away but not for
gotten, tell of the losses of young men
in whom we had high hope of greatness
in manhood. The civilization of , the
future depends upon the training* we-
are giving to the boys and girls now
found in the Bible classes of our Sun
day schools. May we of Georgia teach
them the word and the way of a life
of constructive service, rather than to
teach them to become familiar with the
destructive art of war!

At a meeting of the Dalton Civitan
club Friday, H. J. Smith, chairman
of the club’s hotel committee, report
ed gratifying progress in the canvass
for subscriptions, and stated that on
November J5, -the carqpaign would come
right out into the open and subscrip
tions would be received from ail who
wanted to become stockholders.
Mr. Smith stated that his committee
had been working up to that time on
those whose stock subscriptions
amounted to as much as $5,000 each.
He added that there were about three
more of the $5,000 men who had not
signed up, but said the committee ex
pected to get the subscriptions within
a^short time.
On November 35, when the stock
special is pulled wide open, smaller
subscriptions will be taken. He said
the committee felt, though, that no
stock subscription for less than $500
should be taken.
He stated that he had received many
propositions from those who wanted
stores, and several good hotel men had
asked for the privilege of making a
bid for the hotel.
Mr. Smith let the club know that the
hotel was on its way, but he told the
Ciyitans to get their minds made up
quickly so they could tell the stock
committee when they were called upon
after November 15, just how much
stock in the new hotel they would
take.
