DALTON & ALLENDALE
CHARTER GRANTED
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Along the Grade of the Old
D. & A.—Charter Was
Granted Saturday
Secretary of State Phil Cook
has granted a charter for the con¬
struction of the Dalton & Allen¬
dale railroad, and the promoters
will begin the construction work
as soon as possible.
This proposed new line is to
be constructed in an easterly
direction from Dalton, crossing
the Louisville & Nashville at
Clmtsworth, in Murray county,
and terminating at Allendale at
Fort Mountain. The line will
be 22 miles in length.
The incorporators are: John D.
Follett, Cincinnati; Robert L.
Way man, Ohattatiooga; J. F.
Allen, Murray county; J. M.
Sanders, J. H. Longley, M. H.
Williams, W. R. Cannon, W. M.
Sapp, TI. C. Ilam'lton, J. K.
Farrar, H. B. Farrar, and F. F.
Farrar, of Dalton.
Mr. Allen was in spring Place
the latter part of last week and
said that when they got their
charter they would go to work on
the completion of the old D. &
A. grade.
This little road, though short,
will be one of the best paying
lines in the whole country and
will be connecting link between
two of the biggest railroad sys¬
tems in the country—the L. & N.
and the Southern. What can
keep Itflkvm being a paying prop¬
osition when it will open up one
of the best sections of country in
Georgia, and besides, having a
feedef at each end of the Jine
with the proportion, of the L. &
N. and Southern?
This road runs directly through
Spring Place and when we get it
will kiss Chats worth, Eton
and all the balance of Murray’s
towns good-bye, for we will nat¬
urally go a pace that no little
one-horse town can keep up with.
Spring Place has more natural
advantages than any other town
in the county, and, with railroad
facilities, we will outdistance
everything in the county.

that a majority of the people
would like to have it disposed of.
Entertasnment a Success.
The entertainment given last
Friday night at Lucy Hill Iusti
