Read the advertisement of the
Provident Savings Life Assurance
Society of New York, on page 3 of
this issue. Mr. L. B. Jones, of Sa
vannah, its general agent is at Hotel
Dalton. He came here last Satur
day, to settle a $2,000 death claim of
the estate of the late Sam XV. Farns
worth, and was so struck with the

fine one. He is at Hotel Dalton.
D. XV. XVright and L. B. Groome,
two very fine ornamental, coach and

work they have in there now exhib
its great skill and superior ability.
A job for our clever liveryman, T. J.
Bryant—the painting of an omnibus,
running gear and all, will be a most
magnificent advertisement for them
when it gets out on the streets run
ning. Mr. Wright does all the inside
shop work and Mr. Groome goes out
and does the outside jobs. If you need
any real fine paintii g or graining
done, on either house or carriage, be
sure to see them. They are the men
who did the finishing work on the
present handsome quarters of the
First National Bank.
Dalton Lodge No. 39 Knights of
Pythias held its annual entertain
ment Wednesday evening, begin
ing promptly at 8:30 o’clock. The
evening was one of the most delight
ful ever spent in Dalton. The ad
dress of welcome was most elegantly
delivered by J. W. Brown. The res
ponse to our “Our XVives” by S. E.
Berry was the jolliest hit on record.
' He kept the large audience in a con
tinual roar of laughter while the
response to “Our Sweethearts,” by
F.|T. Reynolds, was indeed a gem of
oratory. Following this was the in
teresting story of Damon and Pyth
ias. The ladies were next sworn
to secrecy and the degree, “A
marriage with a man and woman,”
was conferred on one of the candi
dates. Delicate refreshments were
served by L. Buchholz.
Have you noticed the improve
ments being made on Thornton Ave
nue? The people down that way are
fixing up in earnest. Mr. T. M.
Felker has begun the erection of a
beautiful cottage on his lot adjoin
ing Mrs. Trevitt. Prof. McLellen is
beautifying and fixing up his prop
erty down there. The Prof, was
seen digging post holes with a crow
barand has demonstrated his ability
in digging post-holes as well as solv
ing mathematical problems. T. M.
Felker is placing in front of liis home
an ornamental iron fence, and Mr.
Kirk Karrar has begunremodlinghis
residence down there. Mr. Fletcher
Denton is also talking of building a
handsome residence. Let the good
work go on, for there are only a few
better towns than Dalton.
There was a Gretna Green affair in
Dalton, Wednesday night. Thurs
day’s Chattanooga Times thus tells
the tale: “’Squire Manning was
called on to tie the knot in a rather
romantic marriage which ' occurred
last night at the residence of G. M.
Langston, 332 Poplar street. It ap
pears that Mr. Langston’s son, XV. N.
Langston, enlisted in Co. E, 3d Ten
nessee, last summer, and after being
mustered out he went to Dalton, Ga.,
where he secured a position with the
Showalter Printing company. XVhile
in Dalton he met, fell in love with
and became engaged to Miss Nannie
May Pery, daughter of Robert Perry,
a miller of that town. The parents,
however, opposed the match, as a
result of which the two decided on
an elopement, which occurred last
night. Before leaving Dalton young
Langston wired ’Squire Manning to
secure the license, and when the two
arrived at 8:45 last night they found
everything in readiness, and were
married by Justice Manning at the
residence of Langston’s father at 9
o’clock. The young couple will
make this city their home.” Mrs.
Langston is the well-known and
popular daughter of Robert Perry,
the well-known brick-mason. The
couple left Dalton by the 8:15 XVes
tern & Atlantic train XVednesday
night. Their many Dalton friends
extend congratulations.
