COMMEND FITE AND MADDOX
Throughout this entire cir¬
cuit, where superior conrt has
been in session come most
commendatory words for
both Judge Fite and Solicitor
Maddox. The Bartow grand
jury thus recently expressed
itself:
“In taking leave of his hon¬
or, Judge Fite, we desire to
express our gratification at the
able, impartial and expedi¬
tious manner in which he
dispatches the business of the
court, and take pleasure in
stating that during his term of
office the court expenses have
been from 25 to 50 per cent,
less than ever before; which
we are glad to say is fully
understood and appreciated by
the law-abiding citizens and
tax-payers of the county. To
COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER.
The management of The Murray News feels highly
gratified over the cordial reception given it by the citizens of
Murray county, and this week, according to pledges made,
it appears in six-column form. It is our earnest desire to
enlarge the paper still farther by adding an increased num¬
ber of pages, which will be done at as early a date as is con¬
sistent with good business policy.
While we hear naught but warm words of praise for
The News on every side ; while its editorials are approved
and its news columns lauded ; while the excellent people
of this county have shown their appreciation of our efforts
by most liberal subscriptions indeed, yet are there many
whose names should appear on the list that we fail to find
there. Whose fault is this, yours or ours? No doubt both
to some extent. Perhaps you have casually picked up the
paper, and after a cursory glance through its contents throw
it down with the conclusion that it is too small to be
much value, and that it does not cover a sufficiently wide
field of news research to satisfy your thirst for general infor
mation.
some of you, no doubt, have done this; but have you,
county demands that I accord my home paper, I would
be better pleased with it, for it would thus be enabled to pro
vide a better news service, and not only the paper, but my¬
self also, be the gainer thereby”? Have you thought
If not, take the suggestion and consider it.
Strange as it may seem to many who do not realize
space in a newspaper is exactly the same to a publisher
a stock of groceries, shoes or dry goods is to a merchant,
requires money to produce a paper, be it ever so small.
There is labor to hire, paper bills to meet, rents to
for, and a hundred other expenses, to say nothing of the
hungry mouths at home that refuse to rest contented
wind souffles or hot-air fricandeaus.
Support your home paper. It never fails to speak
good word for your county, and for you when
offers. Subscribe now. If not prepared to pay for it in
vance, we shall be pleased to send it into every responsible
family in Murray, and wait until next fall for the money.
this gratifying condition of af¬
fairs our ecer faithful and
efficient Solicitor General Sam
P. Maddox has, by his able
and faithful discharge of offi¬
cial duties, contributed much,
and for which he has the com¬
mendation of this body and of
the people of this county.
The Catoosa grand jury,
among other things, said in
its presentments:
“In conclusion, we desire
to bear testimony to the effi¬
ciency and fidelity to the in¬
terests of the county and the
cause of justice of his honor,
Judge A. W. Fite, and to So¬
licitor Sam P. Maddox, and
to the fact that during their
term of office they have great¬
ly reduced the expenses of
holding court in our county,
for which we feel assured
that they will be commended
by all taxpayers.
“We extend to them our
thanks for the courteous
treatment we have at all
times received at their hands.”
MOST POPULAR
Paper Is (he Atlanta Journal, as Proved
By Its Circulation.
The largest circulation, both
daily and Sunday, is the claim
made by the Atlanta Journal,
and so far as we have observed
that claim stands undisputed by
any of the Atlanta papers. Cir¬
culation is a positive proof of
popularity — ergo, the Atlanta
Journal is the most popular pa¬
per in the state.
The Journal will also be of pe¬
culiar advantage to the readers
of dailies in this section, as the
change in our mail schedule, to
take effect on the 22d inst., will
undoubtedly result in the morn¬
ing papers being brought to us a
day late at least five mornings in
the week, while the Journal will
reach you four or five hours ear¬
lier than heretofore.
The price of the daily Atlanta
Journal is $5; daily and Sunday,
$7. We offer you the Semi
Weekly Journal and The Mur¬
ray News for $1.75 per year.

RUSSIAN DISCIPLINE.
Discipline in the Russian army is
confined to the essentials very strict¬
ly and does not concern itself about
things not immediately connected
with the movements of troops and
their conduct in action, according
to O. K, Davis in Everybody’s Mag¬
azine. They will fight magnificent¬
ly, but for the rest they are a law¬
less, unkempt, slouchy, dirty lot,
whose clothes seem perpetually un
washed and whose hands are in ev¬
erything that is not their own.
There were a dozen different
breeds of fighting men in the Pe¬
king relief column, and among all
of them I saw instances of unpro¬
voked cruelty and savagery. With
the others such cases were sporadic,
but among the Russians discipline
does not seem to undertake to pro¬
vide against that sort of thing. I
never saw an officer make any at¬
tempt to stop a Russian soldier
from such work, but I saw one
spank a man for letting a horse fall
down.
The officer who was in command
of the guard that was escorting me
on one occasion stopped his men to
loot a shop and let me go on and
find my way as best I could without
them.
Live Red Lobeter.
Billingsgate fish market the other
day saw a prodigy of nature—a live
lobster of scarlet hue. The veriest
cockney knows that this color is
usually of acquired boiling, the by natural the painful color
process
of a lobster being bluish black.
In presence of such a marvel Bil¬
lingsgate for once could find no ex¬
pression astonishment. strong enough to show
its At last the old¬
est hand in the market gave his
opinion of the mystery. “That lob¬
ster was knowing,” he said, “lie
knew when he was caught he’d be
boiled, and to escape boiling he
turned red of his own acccord.”
Only once before has a red lobster
come to Billingsgate, and that was
fifteen years ago. He went to the
British museum.—London Mirror.
The Way He Put It.
Hamlin Garland has settled down
in New York for the winter in an
apartment on the beautiful heights
of M'orningside avenue, near the
huge, partially erected Cathedral of j
St. John. On being asked by a
western friend where ne was staying
Mr. Garland replied: “I’ve holed up
for the winter on the sunny side of
that big butte-where the ruins of
the big church are. It’s a little
shack, but gaudy. It has a Lookout

We Are Here to Give
Our patrons what they want. We do not try to induce
them to take something else. If a customer wants Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, he gets Hood’s Sarsaparilla. He is not im¬
portuned to take our own make. We like to treat our
customers rigid. It is both pleasant and profitable. We
have built up the largest drug establishment in Dalton by
gratifying our patrons’ wishes. There is no reason why
everybody in Murray County should not trade here. We
can give them decidedly the best service, and our prices
are fixed altogether according to what tilings are worth.
