The Very Latest From The
Makers Of Fashions
Displayed by Vaughan.
There never was a time when a
woman's heart did not thrill to the
word “dress,” and why nob? If it
* is intended that we should be ar
rayed according to the art of man
-istead of nature, then let it be by
-he art of man expressed at its best.
What is more truly art than the ex
quisite harmony of colors or the
blending and weaving of fabrics,
produced on the looms and by the
art of man? What picture more to
be admired than a woman who wears
these creations with grace and
rharm, and womanly dignity?
Tnto every profession, every bus
iness, every work, can be introduc
ed a measure of the beautiful and
[he love of the beautiful—rightly
expressed is close to having a love
of God.
This is merely by way of intro
ducing the 'subject of uttermost im
portance this week to the women
contingent in Cartersville and the
county, and nearby towns.
It lias been the time of all the fall
that women most love: viz—the
“openings.” Naturally a mere man
has no conception of what the magic
word “opening” means as a woman
-ays it, but to her it is the first
glimpse of the season’s varied new
* tads and fancies—from hats to
shoes—and the days of the openings
are days of a distinct pleasure and
interest and a sort of mild excite
ment.
J. \V. Vaughan & Cos. issued in
vitations and kept open house Tues
day and Wednesday and Tuesday
evening. Everybody went; every
body saw everybody else; everybody
al<“ ice cream and cake Tuesday
evening just as thotigli they were
a: a reception; everybody listened
to good music; everybody tried on
lulls which they knew they couldn’t
afford to buy but in which, for a few
brief minutes, they knew they looked
lovely and they were satisfied; ev
erybody 'talked and laughed and had
a good time, and went home feeling
better. Suppose the world was at
war and cotton was low, and so on
and so on; people can always find
a grumble corner whether it is cot
tun or chickens, or babies or what,
and 60 can they find a smile, wheth
er or not they can afford a Vaughan
hat or coat suit, or have to make
uver last years. But the Vaughan
pening gave us something to think
about—and incidentally, talk about,
and after all, what more does a good
advertiser want than women to
talk?
The store was all “dressed up."
t here were autumn leaves in their
rich browns and yellows every
where. Southern smilax was fes
tooned around the walls, and fall
flowers were much in evidence.
Everyone connected with the
store constituted a reception com
mittee of one to greet the visitors
and make them feel welcome and by
‘he way, Miss Wallace, Miss Taylor,
Miss Mattox and Miss Olney wore
<-me stimning new style dresses on
I uesday evening.
There were all kinds of lovely
black satins and soft liued silks, and
•tractive plaids, and yards of other
rich stuffs draped and shimmerin'.’
a nd enticing—but 100 much des
cription would deprive those who
have not seen of the pleasure of
■’•eeing: therefore, go and see! Of
course there were hats —dozens of
em—big hats, little hats, black hats,
colored hats, feathers, flowers, gold
and silver laces and all the other
bits of dainty nothings with which
hey are trimmed and thereby
ar o tempted.
Nobody is too old or ugly to find
3 hat to suit this season— thank
-°odness for that—so what matters
if cotton is low and everybody
trying to be poo. if all of us can
‘ook well once in our lives.
Mayor G. W. Young and sister,

TiiZ BARTOW TRIBUNE
I. F. WHILE DIES
TUESDAK MORNING
A Substantial Citizen Suc
cumbs To Disease at
His Home Here.
i. F. Wikle, one of the best known
citizens of Bartow county, died
Monday night at his home in Car
'.ersville, age sixty-three.
The death of Mr. Wikle was not
unexpected, lie had been sick for a
number of months and had been
confined to his home for several
weeks. His malady was one which it
was impossible to cure though he
received every medical aid and com
fort that could he furnished.
A member of a distinguished Bar
tow county family, Mr. Wikle was
esteemed and greatly appreciated by
all who knew him and in character
reflected credit upon a name proud
ly borne by a host of connections.
For a long time Mr. Wikle has
been in affluent circumstances and
was counted as one of ’the substan
tial business men of Cartersville.
He owned a large amount of city
and farm property and possessed
other forms of wealth. In manner
lie was a quiet and unassuming cit
izen who performed all his duties
as a citizen, husband and father, and
his relatives with hosts of friends
sadly mourn his death. His wife was
Miss McMillan, of Talledega, Ala.,
who died more than twenty years
ago. Surviving him are two sons,
Robert Wikle, of Talledega, and Jes
se Wikle, of Birmingham.
Mr. Wilde was practically all his
life engaged in the postal service
and only.gave up this employment
when the necessities of his physical
condition demanded it. It is said
that he gave to the performance of
his duties in this capacity punctual
ity and diligence of service against
which there was never the slightest,
hint of complaint upon the part of
either employer or patron.
Mr. Wikle was the son of Judge J.
R. Wikle and his brothers are Judge
John H. Wikle, W. H. Wikle, J. L.
Wikle, of Anniston, Judge Douglas
Wikle, of Franklin, Tenn., and C. A.
Wikle, of Marietta.
The. funeral services were con
ducted ut the home, Rev. G. L. L.
Gordon officiating.
Mr. Gordon paid a beautiful trib
ute to the life, deeds and example of
Mr. Wikle in life and gave testi
mony of his religious spirit and fu
ure expectancy. The pallbearers
were: Alfred Gilbert, John P. Adair,
Sim Archer, John H. Stephens, John
E. Wikle and C. McEwen. The re
mains were interred at Oak Hill
cemetery WeHnesdav morning.
AN HONEST HO
IS OLD OEBI
Perhaps Mr. Seab Hicks has never
been more surprised, astonished and
pleased over the payment) of any ac
count due him than that which he
received during the past week.
It came all the way from Los An
geles, California. It has been due
twenty-three years, and, while [he
amount was only seventy-five cents,
it is doubtful if Mr. Hicks could
have gotten any more enjoyment
out of it if it had been seventy-five
dollars.
A few days ago Mr. Hicks re
ceived a short letter enclosing a
money order for seventy-five cents
from Mid Coleman, colored, of Los
Angeles, California. Mid having
moved to California since the crea
tion of the debt.
It is not known why Mid decided
to pay the debt at this time. He has
not been pressed for it in many
years. In fact, it had been charged
off as a loss. The country is not en
joying any great amount of pros
perity just at this time, but it nev
ertheless may happen that Mid has
struck a gold mine or something of
that. kind. It is Mr. Hicks’ opinion
that Mid has come under the in
fluence of a change of heart relig
iously and has taken a very proper
view that one must square himself
on earth before he can fit himself
for the skies. In the meantime, Mr.
Hicks is hoping that many others on
his books will come under the same
influence or be the recipients of the
same good fortune that his former
creditor, Mid Coleman, has.
CARTERSVILLE, GrA., OCTOBER 8, 1914.
THE GREATEST EAIR IN GEORGIA
CLAIMED BT BARTOW TRIS TEAR
All Things Point to Big Crowds and a Big
Show and Every Comfort Will
be Provided for Everyone.
That the fair this year is going to
he the besti ever held in Georgia by
any single county becomes more and
more apparent each day. Those in.
charge of the arrangements are
greatly pleased with the progress
made, and the assurances which are
constantly being made is evidence
Uiat itihe show and the patronage
given it will surpass that ever given
m any county.
Mr. Huohs Byron has just return
ed from Birmingham and brings the
good news that far more horses
vsilh the fines'll records us racers will
oe on the track this year than ever
before. Already forty horses of the
very highest records in the south
will take part in ifhe races when the
gong is sounded “go.” The purses
are unusually attractive and the
track is being put in perfect con
dition and the patronage to be giv
en die fair is becoming an assured
fact. Inquiries are being made from
a distance and parties are being
formed in distant counties to attend
the fair each day it is in progress.
Many apprehensions have been
;expressed that because of a lull in
business people will no'll be disposed
to patronize the fair this year hut
the contrary seems to he true. Those
who have been depressed over fi
nancial conditions, the low price of
cotton and lack of financial activity,
have evidently come to the conclus
ion that they need the recreation
3nd diversion that will be afforded
by the line list of attractions and
amusements which will he furnish
ed by the fair. The philosophy is
sound. Everyone hsould bring* him
self and his family and forget aboul
troubles and business worries and
be benefited in mind and spirit by
watching the races, seeing the fine
exhibits, attending the baby show,
taking in the midway, the poultry
show and school fair, and the var
ious other features which will he
present. At last this fair is designed
to be of profit to the farmer and to
the various other interests of the
county, as well as affording amuse
ment and diversion.
Mrs. John W. Jones, superintend
ent of ihe baby slftw department,
has sen'll out an appeal to all who
have little ones at home to enter
Shorn in tho baby show. Babies from
six months old to three years am
eligible and the special class for in
fants under six months will be a
feature. What could be more inter-

An Attractive Chance For Invest

This month opens another oppor
tunity for i!he general public and
coming generations to invest in the
local Building & Loan Association.
The November series is open and
stock is being taken.
Only twice each year do the of
ficers offer this opportunity, and
just this often is 250 to 400 shares
sold, until there is now nearly -$400,-
000.00 subscribed to the installment
stock.
Also, each month finds a larger
association and stronger security.
Every loan is made upon first mort
gage security, upon which there is
paid monthly dues which is part of
the principal, which makes the se
curity stronger and your invest
ment safer.
Notwithstanding much war talk,
and imaginary depression, the
growth and payment of dues demon
strates our people can meet an em
ergency and carry out [he well de
vised plan for saving.
The Tribune learns that with the
Close of this month, the usual six
months profits of over $4,000.00 will
i>o distributed to the credit of the
members, giving them from 7 to
8 per cent compound interest for
the use of their savings. This speaks
well for the association, and ought

en to the public.
esting and attractive than this fea
ture of the fair?
All mothers in the county are
urged to enter itheir babies at once.
There were iifty babies last year.
No less than one hundred should be
entered this year.
Mrs. Jones’ motto is, “A bigger,
better baby show for 1914.” Send
entries to Mrs. John W. Jones, sup
erintendent baby show department.
The date for the baby show is Tues
day, October 20th, the first day of
the fair.
All arrangements have been per
fected for an excellent poultry show.
Mr. Loring Brown will be ready to
judge and advise all who are taking
an interest in this industry. He is a
recognized authority and no better
judge of real royalty in poultry
could he secured anywhere than
Mr. Brown.
The hoys’ corn clubs and girls’
canning clubs will he taken care of
’in the school fair and this will be
an interesting feature.
' The agricultural building has beep
completed and commodious quarters
and arrangements have been made
for the reception and care of all ag
ricultural exhibits. This feature has
been given especial attention this
year.
The slock pens have been covered,
and hose having fine hogs, cattle,
Armies and horses are assured that
their stock will he excellently-cared
for.
Mr. B. C. Sloan has settled upon a
long list of excellent midway at
tractions, and his free attraction of
the racing ostrich will he a feature

As the time now approaches and
we are upon the eve of the bes'ti fair
ever held in Georgia, people should
conclude to throw dull care aside,
enter into the occasion with the
spirit to receive and to enjoy the
benefits and the entertainment as
sociated with this most worthy en
terprise, and it is The Tribune’s
confident expectation that not only
will we have 'the best show ever
held but the biggest crowds and the
lightest-hearted patronage ever
gathered together in Bartow county.
Every comfort and every provis

of the people has been undertaken.

CARL WALDRUP
SERIOUSLY GUI
Knife Play At Show Pro
duces Serious Results
And Arrests Made.
Carl Waldrup, son of G. W. Wal
drop, was seriously cut in the neck,
face and hack just after the closing
performance of the Starnes Stock
Company Tuesday night.
The performances given by the
Starnes Stock Company are being
rendered under a tent and young
Waldrup occupied a seat on the
upper tier in one section of the
tent. Sitting by him at the time wao
young Sam Jones. Sitting on a seat
below young Waldrup were a num
ber of young fellows and the one
immediately in front of young Wal
urup complained that he should
lake his feet off of that seat. As is
known, tins is practically impossi
ble as no one can sit on these seats
with comfort wi bout resting their
leet on the seat below. Waldrup
made some reply Of a kindly nature
lo this demand hut declined to move
his feet. After Waldrup made this
statement the hoy stated that-lie
would “get him” after the show was
over. Waldrup noticed that tlieie
was considerable muttering and
some evidence of a conspiracy
among the others, and, upon the
performance being over, the hoys in
from moving down from their seats
caught Waldrup and in some way
took him along with them until hr
fell. While he was prostrate and
partially insensible from a blow re
ceived on Hie head, either from
someone having struck him or from
the fall, he was cut wi l h a knife, the
gash ranging from a point in the
neck below the ear and slightly be
hind the ear and ranging across the
neck and across the lobe of the ear
to the cheek) and* as afterwards
discovered, his coal was cut in the
hack. Waldrup did not know at this
time he had been slabbed or cut but
chased one of the boys by the name
of Dupree to the library and there
overtook him and threw him down,
hut, the boy begging piteously to be
released, he let him go not yet
knowing that he had been cut. Upon
finding that he had been hurt, med
ical attention was sought and ren
dered and the officers notified of
what had taken place. One of the
boys is under arrest and search is
being made for anoth r who is said
|! o have escaped.
It is hoped that prompt measures
will be taken to maintain a more
decent recognition of the majesty of
the law in this section and public
sentiment is becoming aroused to
tho frequent evidence of knife and
gun play which just now seems to
he so much in vogue.
Gar] Waldrup is a popular young
man, a student of the high school,
and captain of the high school foot
ball team and his hosts of friends
greatly regret the assault mode on
him.

DIES ID BAGGAGE
ID BE CASED FDR
U. D. C. To Take Care of
Little Ones While Par
ents Enjoy Events.
There is no particular connection
between these two, because babies
are not necessarily “baggage,” nor
does baggage imply babies. Never
theless, they are more or less syn
ouvmous, and as little as you may
have thought of it before, the two
words do sound very well together—
“babies” “baggage;” alliterative
easy to say, crisp sounding as it
were, (“sounding” decidedly) both
words implying something useful,
often—but not always—ornamental
also. Afi any rate, one would natural-
think that two words, each mean
ing so much, should he looked after,
and this is exactly what the Daught
ers of the Confederacy, in Carters
\ il 10, have decided, and consequent
ly have initiated a plan by which all
Fhe babies and all the baggage that
come to the Bartow County Fair
will ho properly cared for.
This was a great idea on the part
of some Daughter, for if there is
one thing more fun destroying than
another it is to have to carry around
a hunch of youngsters all day at a
county fair, when all your neigh
bors and friends are riding the fly
ing jenny, or shooting at rubber
dolls. Then those who perhaps have
no very young children to be anx
ious over and yet who want to
spend an enlire day and possibly in
to .he evening on the grounds
nearly always have a basket ql
lunch, or a couple of clean hand
kerchiefs, or something, which they
would like immensely to stow some
where in order to have both hands
and arms free for use when the
time for clapping arrives in the
horse races.
In other words, the way is made
clear for every mother in the county
to come to the Fair and bring each
and all of her offspring, and she
herself can have one care free day.
The depository will be at or in a
tent. This tent will be arranged
comfortably and will he presided
over constantly by several mem
bers. of the resident Daughters o?
the Confederacy. In addition to these
chaperones, a real black mammy
will he on hand to “Rock a bye,
Hush a bye, Go to sleep ma honey;”
so no need to fear lest the little ones
intrusted to this care will not be
well taken care of.
As for “baggage,” it will also be
handled with care, so look for the
tent which holds babies and bag
gage.
FOOT BALL GAIBE
LAST IISDJt
In a most interesting foot ball
game Tuesday, Carlersville High
school beat the town team by the
score of 19 to 0. The score does not
really show the superiority of the
high school team, as they outclassed
the older boys in every department.
The live bucks of Waldrup, who
made large gains at all times, and a
70 yard run by Kinght were the
principal features of the game, al
though it was well played by all
concerned.
Capt. Waldrup has an exception
ally strong team this year and it is
promised that some good games will
be scheduled.
Under the coaching of Homer
Cook, captain of the 1913 Tech team,
and Prof. Queener the team has
learned a lot more foot ball than the
older teams knew.
If the public wants to see a really
good foot ball game come out to
Jones’ field on the day the game
are scheduled.
