All matters are, however, in a tentative state at present, for it has not been definitely decided as to just what kind of a school will be built. While here, the committee stated that they wanted no propositions from the va rious towns—that they were not in position to receive them. They were here to get information about sites and about this section of the state. They left here to visit other sections. While here, a number of places were shown the visitors, the property near the Country club grounds being con sidered especially desirable. The committee was composed of Dr. J. G. Harrison, of Macon, educational superintendent of the Mercer system; Dr. A. E. Brown, of Asheville, N. C„ superintendent of the Home Board’s mountain schools; Dr. G. W. O’Hara, enlistment secretary for Northwest Georgia, and Rev. J. E. Hudson, of Adairsville, a prominent educator.

Rev. Josiah Crud- up, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, in-behalf of the Baptists of Dalton extended welcome to the visitors, and outlined his views on the proposed school which coincided with . those expressed by the members of the committee. Report Expected Soon. It is probable that the committee’s report will be made about the first of December. All necessary data is being secured, and after some definite de chants and Business Men’s association Thursday' night, it was decided, in future, to hold the meetings every two weeks, instead of every week, as here tofore. The meeting was an interesting one. Mr. E. G. Freeman, who has been in charge of the tourists’ camp at the fair grounds, addressed the meeting, and made several recommendations relative to water and lights, which the association voted for. He was retain ed for six months by the association. Prior to adjournment, the organiza tion adopted the following tribute to a departed member, the late lamented W. T. Neely: Resolution.

Mr. Neely has been engaged in Dal ton, since 1915, in a very progressive manufacturing business, and through his square dealings, excellent manage ment, courteous personality, has been held in the highest esteem by his fel low associates. In his passing away, be it*resolved: That we have lost one of our pro gressive members, an excellent citizen of our city, and that we extend to the bereaved family our deepest heartfelt sympathy, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread on our records, and a copy be furnished the bereaved fahiily.

Fite’s store, and the luncheon will be served by the women of the Baptist church. A large attendance is desired, for business of importance will come before the club. At the last meeting, H. J. Smith, chairman of the club’s hotel commit tee, reported that on the 15th of the month; the stock subscription list of the hotel would be offered to the peo ple, and he campaign would be .on in earnest. Heretofore, the committee has worked only on those who would take as much as $5,000 worth of stock in the new hotel. Now those who can’t take as much as $5,000 will be given an opportunity to tell the committee just how much, stock they will take. The city is going to be thor oughly canvassed^ for the company wants to start actual construction work on the hotel just as soon as the spring building season opens* cision is reached as to the kind of school that will be established, then the cities and towns bidding for the school can make their propositions to the boards. COUNTY LINE BRIDGE JOB GIVEN TO LUTEN COMPANY IN FACE OF A LOWER BID At a joint session of the boards of county commissioners of Whitfield and Murray, the contract for the county line bridge over Sugar Creek .was awarded to the Luten Bridge company, the price being $4,491. This was the same bid the Luten people made on the bridge when the contract was warded to the Nashville Bridge company. At the time, it was said that the Nash ville company’s plans were not on file when bids were being asked for, and the contract was broken. Later the two boards called for bids on various plans, the Nashville company’s plans being among them, and the Nashville \ . concern bid $2,850 for the job, or $50 less than their bid which had previous ly been accepted. .The plans called for an arch-type re inforced concrete bridge; but were not the same as the’ Luten plans, the boards holding that they thought the Luten plans better by $1,641, and awarded the contract to the Luten com pany. This is the last of the bridges on which contracts have been awarded, all going to the Luten Bridge company. Four of them were Whitfield county bridges. during his lifetime, one leading merchants. She spent the big ger part of her life here. Patient, gentle, of a retiring disposi tion, she won for herself many cordial friends during her long and useful life. The funeral services were conduct ed Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the home on North Thornton avenue, Dr. F. K. Sims, pastor of the First Presbyterian, church, conducting the service, after which intermenst' -was made in West Hill cemetery. Mrs. Loveman is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Linka Friedman, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and five sons, Messrs. Robert Loveman, of this city; Morris Loveman, of Birmingham, Ala.; Louis Loveman, of Gadsden, Ala.; Philip Loveman, of 'Wetherford, Tex., and Bert Loveman, of Atlanta. Sill SET Day of Days Comes Next Mon day Morning When Open Season for Quail Gets Underway The 1921-22 hunting season will be formally opened, with appropriate services, at sunup Monday, and every good citizen will govern himself ac cordingly. The first day of the sea son falls on Sunday this year; but as there’s a state law against hunting on Sundays, th€ hunters will have to wait an additional 24 hours, which is ex tremely trying on the nerves, to say the least of it. November 20 brings the real open ing of the season. October 1st opened the squirrel season; but comparatively few care to chase the squirrel “up a hick’ry, down a hick’ry,” and so it doesn’t bring the thrill that shdots up and down that part of the body that makes a living for the chiropractor, like the one that comes when the open season for quail dawns. Every year, the—report is current right about this time that the bird crop is a whopper. This year is no ex ception—fact is, the reports are to the effect that you can’t walk without stepping on ’em. This week is a hard one for the fel low that wants to get put into the big open world with his bird-dog and gun, and all the accessories. His trig ger finger begins to itch, and he has to crook it hundreds of times each day so as to have it in shape, ready to answer the very instant his brain tele graphs the information that his eye is on the bird just off the end of his gun-barrels. If you are a real sport,- not a luke-warm one but a genuifie, dyed-in-the-wool, one-hundred and sev enty-five karat sport with'a capital S, the week just preceding the season’s opening brings dreamy each night of the open • fields and the woods, with birds a-plenty, and with your dog nail ing them one after another. That’s the way you spend your nights. In the day, you try to work, but you can’t. You keep thinking of the “day,” and it’s just like Christmas was to you when you were a youngster. As the years pass, you’ll find that whan you *put on your hunting coat, it’s just a little tight across the shoulders, and the waist-band of your “britches” is tight—too tight; but then you’ll walk that off (that super fluous weight, not the “britches”). Man, it’s good to put on the coat and feel the shells that fit the little' Ithaca-20. There’s no need to talk of the gun, for you keep that in good shape all the time; but it’s all right to take it out and throw it to your shoulder and look down the barrels. That won’t hurt you and it won’t bother anybody, and it’ll give you a world of satisfac tion. (Continued on page 6.) Result of “Unloaded” SHOT JURY Claud Nelson Had Burch’s Pistol in His Hand When It Was Fired —Preliminary.- Hearing Be- % fore Judge Tarver Park- Burch, a young man of North Dalton, was instantly killed shortly after* 10 o’clock Friday morning by Claud Nelson, the killing presumably being accidental The tragedy occur red in Brown’s restaurant in North Dalton near the Hamilton Street Meth odist church, and was witnessed by a number of people. A bullet from Burch’s own pistol which Nelson had in his hands passed through Burch’s head, causing instant death. Luther Hyde, a bystander, received a slight flesh wound in the back after the bul let had killed Burch. The two young men were apparently the best of friends, and everything pointed to the affair as being an acci dent. Nelson* was arrested shortly after the shooting and placed in jail, being held pending a full investiga tion of the matter. According to eye-witnesses, both of the men had pistols and they were com- paring^them. They weighed them load ed, and then unloaded them. Nelson picked up the two pistols, and, telling the crowd not to “check at him,” he pointed them at Burch and pulled the triggers. Between the time the guns were unloaded and the time Nelson picked them up, Burch’s gun had been re-loaded. Just who loaded it has not yet come out, all of those present when interrogated by Judge Tarver in the preliminary hear ing denying any knowledge of it. Nel son claimed he thought the gun was not loaded. As there was nothing to show any ill feeling between the two men at any time, his statement that he thought the gun unloaded was be lieved. Coroner Hill went to the scene soon after the shooting; but the statements of all eye-witnesses were on the same order, and no inquest was held. The officers had been looking for Nelson on another charge, and he was locked up. The preliminary hearing was start ed by Judge Tarver Monday, and was continued until Tuesday morning, the sheriff being instructed to get several additional eye-witnesses who did not appear the first day. Tuesday morn ing; Judge Tarver bound Nelson over to the grand jury, the three bonds required aggregating $3,500. A bond of $2,500 is required for his appearance before the grand jury on the charge of involuntary manslaughter in the com mission of an unlawful act; $200 is required for the carrying of a pistol, and $S00 on a misdemeanor charge on which he was wanted before the killing occurred.

FINE RESPONSE MADE TO APPEAL FOR FRUIT Fruit Shower to Wesley Memorial Hospital Appreciated An appeal was maderby the chairman of the women’s department- of the Wesley Memorial Hospital for a show er of canned fruits from the various churches of the Dalton district of the North Georgia Conference. In re sponse to this apjjfeal which came just a few weeks ago, the five churches composing the Varnell charge con tributed 109 quarts. This is a token of the good will and loving liberality of the good ladies ot this charge tow ard those who having been overtaken by sickness become patients at this great institution. This hospital ■min isters to the sick without respect to class or other distinction and in many cases without remuneration where the patient is unable to pay for the serv ice. The amount contributed by each church, was as follows:- Varnell church, 41 quarts; Mt. Zion, Dawn- ville, 20 quarts; Mt. Olivett, Cohutta, 12 quarts; Mt. Pleasant, 19 quarts; Pleasant Grove, 17 quarts. This fine collection of fruits however was not all contributed by members of the above particular* churches.
