TRICK KILLED LITTLE GIRL ■ Bright Child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hammond Was day. \ Dorothy, the five-year-old lffi||||iter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kammonlßf.jg|fe|> live on Tennessee Street, was instarl killed about 11 o'clock Tuesday ing when she was struck by the truck of J. R. Shaw, and which was driven by Mr. Wiley Crow. That the horrible accident was un avoidable is the belief of several who saw it. Dorothy had started across the street from her home to that of a neighbor's, and crossed just behind a wagon driven by Mr. McKelvey, of White. Mr. Crow, who was coming toward town in the Shaw truck, was driving at a moderate speed, witnesses declare, did not see the little girl, and the truck hit her be fore she could be warned of the dan ger. The truck stopped instantly, and Mr. Ernest Adair, who happened to wit ness the accident, was 'ho first to reach the prostrate form. Realizing that life was extinct, he carried her into a neighbor's house, and Dr. Wof ford was summoned. She was beyond medical aid. and nothing could he done for her. The father, who Is one of tho pop ular rural mail carriers from the local postoffice, was out on his route at the time, and could not be reached. He did not learn of the great sorrow which had come into his home until his re turn during the afternoon. Dorothy was an unusually bright and winsome little miss, and was the idol of her parents’ hearts, and the constant companion of her little broth er, younger than herself. Not quite old enough to enter school, last Sep tember, she had patiently looked for ward to the time when she could do so, and already had shown rare talents and a fine mind. Her sudden taking away has cast a pall of gloom over the wide-circle of friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, and they are receiving condolences from every one in their Irreparable loss. Mr. Crow is grief-stricken, and de plgren the accident very much indeed. It' fs realised. ho\K£E£jc..,jUta,t tejs in no wise to blame, and has been exoner ated by the family. The funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon from the home, Rev. S. A. Harris, of the Methodist church, being in charge. The little body was tenderly laid to rest at Oak Hill cemetery, and a large number gathered for the last sad rites. Health Commissioner Finishes Examination At Emerson School Dr. George W. Dupree, district Com missioner of health, this week complet ed the first survey of a public school in the county when he announced that the defectives in the Emerson school totalled only 52 per cent., of the en tire enrollment. This is a remarkably low percentage, Dr. DuPree states, and can be ac counted for mainly because of the watchful care given by Dr. D. H. Mon roe to many of the pupils enrolled in the Emerson school. Dr. Dupree is interested in complet ing the survey in every school in the county, and is now actively at work in this connection. “first baptist church. L. Elmer Dutton, Minister.

LADIES FORM NEW AUXILIARY Will Have Organization To Look After Charity Ward of Hospital. The formation of a Ladies Auxiliary to the local hospi tal, will be perfected at a meeting to be held at an ear ly date, it was announced o |his week. The purpose of this organi zation is to provide ways and miX lB for taking care of those who should go to the hospital, but are unable to do so. The ladies desire that their organization be a strong one, amply able to look out for any reasonable emergency. Drs. Howell and Wofford, in their recently established hospital have a charity ward, and it is the aim of the ladies to be sponsors for this de partment of this hospital. With this idea before them, the following ladies, all of them well-known, will, with in the next few days, make a city-wide and county-wide canvas for members for the Woman’s Auxiliary. Cartersville —Mrs. Robert Renfroe, Mrs. Tanner Lowry, Mrs. Jack Hill, Mrs. George Brooke, Mrs. Claude Pitt man, Mrs, Minnie L. Con yers. Cassville —Mrs. Will Bat tle. Euharlee—Mrs. Hugh Mc- Gowan. White—Mrs. Guy Hughes. Stilesboro Mrs. Cary Sproulle. Pine Log Mrs. Harry Bradford. Taylorsville Mrs. Dr. Ragsdale. Emerson —Mrs. D. H. Mon roe. Atco—Miss Mary Harris. Since a hospital knows no city, county or other boun dary lines, since it knows no creed, but to render aid to the sufrring, no cause yet presented to the people of Bartow county, can be of more genuine interest to the -entire citizenry. The Ladies'TruxiTTary will no doubt have a membership in which the whole county 1 will be represented. MRS. DAVID VAUGHAN Passed Away Last Saturday, After Reaching a Ripe Old Age. Mrs. David Vaughan, an old and greatly loved and respected citizen of Bartow county, died at her home in White, Ga., Sunday, January 18, aged 78 years. Mrs. Vaughan was the daughter of Yancy and Nacy Gilstrap and was born in this county, where she spent her en tire life. At an early age she became a member of the Methodist church, at taching herself to Miller’s chapel, with which church her name was enrolled until her death. She was married to David A. Vaughan, a prominent citizen and farmer of this county, and since his death, about thirty-five years ago, she has continued to''' live at her old home with her son Charles. Mrs. Vaughan was only sick for a few days before her death, being up to that time an unusually vigorous type in health and mentally bright and active. Family and friends were greatly at tached to her because of her strength of character and vigorous intellectu ality and womanly qualities. She was a devoted Christian and her life and deeds squared with protestations. She adhered to the old-time Methodist doc trines, the old-time religion of her fathers, and was a warm champion of genuine Christian worship and faith in God. Mrs. Vaughan is survived by one son, Charles G. Vaughan, of White; one sister, Mrs. Sarah Anne Sullins, of Dewey, and by one brother, Wiley Gil strap, of Oklahoma. She was a sister of the late Mrs. D. J. Haney, and the many friends of the family and con nections expressed by word and token their deep sympathy for the loss of companionship suffered by them. Funeral services were held at Miller’s chapel Monday, conducted by Rev. C. D. Parsons, pastor, and were attended by a large number of relatives, friends and neighbors to pay a last tribute to one whose life was full of good deeds an<l was well spent on earth.

BUSINESSMEN OF CARTERSVILLE i MEET AT BANQUET Interesting Affair An nounced For Friday Evening at the Park Hotel. Invitations were Sent out tills week by Secretary George Woodrow, of tho Cartersville Chamber of Commerce., announcing a sort of get-together ban quet at the Bark hotel on Friday eve ning of this week. It is expected that a large and rep resentative gathering of business men of Cartersville will be on hand prompt ly at 7 o’clock Friday evening. The affair will be very informal, and a very delightful evening is expected. Various matters now confronting the city and county will be discussed by those most conversant with them. The menu, as arranged by Manager 1 O. C. Omer, follows: Oyster Soup Celery Pickles Prime Roast Ribs of Beef Creamed Potatoes English Peas Head Lettuce with Mayonnaise Hot Rolls Ice-Cream Cake Coffee Cigars Cigarettes Important Meeting of Business Men. (An Editorial.) When the business men of Carters ville gather together Friday evening for the purpose of exchanging views aud suggestions, we hope every man who has though about what may be good for the town to forward its prog ress will make bold to give expression to his views. The world progresses by means of ideas which materialize into form. The Tribune offers a few thoughts for consideration. They are not alto gether our own but in large part the convictions of many. Why not discuss the feasibility of permanent street work and get an ex pression of views of business men, the tax-payers, concerning street constuc tion by means of the abutting prop erty assessment plan? A splendid undertaking upon the part of the Chamber of Commerce will be effort directed toward securing the construction of an ample, modern, comfortable hotel building and place it "tinder good management. We are sure that an investment along thfinrne will be worth much to Cartersville, as well as a paying investment to those who put their money in it. Another undertaking which we be lieve would prove successful and which would be of incalculable good to the town would be the acquirement of prhfHrrty along the railroad upon which to replace the present freight depot and remove it from the heart of the city, from which would follow the removal of switch yards from the pub lic square and public danger to life and limb. W. H. Field Is Director For 7th District Auto Men Mr. W. H. Field, of Cartersville, was elected as director for the Georgia Au tomotive Dealers' association in the seventh district of Georgia at a meet ing held in Atlanta Wednesday, This is one of the most active asso ciations in the state, and the honor conferred on Mr. Field is one greatly appreciated by the many friends of this popular gentleman in this section of the state. Census Enumerators Urge Co-Operation In Completing Census Mr. William Felton, who had charge of taking the census in the third and fourth wards of Cartersville proper, earnestly urges anyone living in either of these wards, and who has not been enumerated, to give him his or her name at once. This is a vitally Important matter, and means so much to Cartersville in the future. Mr. Felton can be reached at telephone No. 170. He is making a very paistaking canvass of the district atsigned to him. and believes he has not missed a single individual who should be enumerated. However, there is a possibility of some one having been missed, and it is for the purpose of adding any such names to Carters ville’s rightful quota. A NEW MINING COMPANY. Mr. Percy Renfroe announced this week that he had sold a forty-acre tract of land, two miles west of Car tersvllle. to the Schloss-Sheffield Cos., of Birmingham. Ala. It is understood this company will immediately begin mining operations on a large scale. Heretofore this company has been a large buyer of products of local mines, and being satisfied with the quality of the output, decided to make a perma nent investment. Hence, the purchase of the tract near town. GRAND JURY MADE SOME INTERESTING PRESENTMENTS OFFICIAL PRESENTMENTS. GEORGIA—Bartow County.
