THINGS LIVELY
ABOUT DALTON
STREET PAVING MAKES WORK
FOR ALL AND THERE IS NO
REASON OF BEING WITHOUT
A JOB.
With a force of men employed by
the city in lowering the gas and water
mains and making new T connections
with the service pipes, and several
hands already busyin the employ of
the West Construction company, pre
paratory to laying the asphalt paving
on King, Hamilton and Crawford
streets, things are taking on a lively
air about Dalton.
The West Construction company
are wanting hands—more than an
hundred —and they are willing to pay
good wages to men who are willing to
work. They have everything in read
iness, and within a few days they ex
pect to have a big force of hands on
the job, and fair weather prevailing,
they will make big headway on the
paving during the month. It means
that quite a lot of money is going to
be turned loose in Dalton during the
next few months, and there is no ex
cuse for anyone being without a job.
The reason a woman knows she is
not jealous is because she feels as if
she were, but thinks she can hide it.
MUJHERH FARMERS
ENJOYINGJ’ROSPERIIY
Atlanta, Qa., Nov. 30 —Mr. Wind-
T. White, president of the White
Company, of Cleveland, 0., has just
made a business trip which swung
around a large circle, including At
lanta and other Southern cities. Mr.
White declares that he was simply
surprised at the prosperity of the far
mers everywhere; surprised at the
homes and home comforts enjoyed in
every State and territory, including
the automobile. Crops have been
good and are good, the prices are good
too and the farmer has the money.
He is no longer the hand-to-mouth la
borer. but a positive force in the fin
ancial situation and he knows it.
Mr. White says that the farmers
are very enthusiastic about automo
biles and they recognize that the in
dustry has been a great factor in
building good roads. Especially is
this true of the Georgia farmer. The
movement for good roads inaugerat
ed in this state several years ago,
which was largely through the influ
ence of the automobile, is fully recog
nized by the average planter. Many
farmers, in view of the good roads
provided as a result of the movement,
are becoming owners of automobiles.
Mr. White says it was particularly
gratifying to him to find that the
White thirty-horse power gasoline
model was so generally liked by the
farmer on account of its low fuel
consumption.
In conclusion Mr. White says, “I
believe that if more manufacturers
and others who are vitally interested
in the prosperity of their country,
would take a swing around the states
as I have taken, they would have no
other feeling than enthusiasm for the
automobile business or any other bus
iness for the coming season. You
cannot stop the farmer spending mon
ey; he has got it, knows what he
wants and intends to get it.”
Grown-up catch marriage just the
same as children do the measles and
lots of them are just as anxious to
get rid of it.

While You “Think it Over”
Others Are Winning Prizes
A person can wait, and hesitate and
doubt, and consult his or her brothers,
and their uncles and cousins, and their
particular friends until “some Satur
day” they find that they have lost
much time in consulting all these emi
nent authorities, that the contest is
over, and they have no time left to fol
low the advice given them. In nine
cases out of ten the same amount of
energy burned up in postponing a task
would have accomplished it in the first
place. Everyone knows how much
harder and more disagreeable it is to
do work that has been “put off.”
What would have been done at the
time with pleasure and even with en
thusiasm, becomes a positive drudgery
after it has been delayed for days and
weeks. Letters can never be answer
ed so easily as when first received.
Doing a deed is like sowing seed. If
not done just at the right time the
crop will forever be out of season or
most likely there will never be any
crop at all.
Some one who evidently spoke from
bitter experience, has aptly said:“The
whole summer of eternity will not be
long enough to bring to maturity the
fruit of delayed action.” If a star
or plant were delayed one second in
its natural course, it might mean that
the whole universe would be thrown
out of harmony. All of which is
worth considerable thought by candi
dates who have determined to do
everything in their power to win 'the
first prize.
The person who acts promptly, even
though this person makes a mistake,
will succeed when the procrastinator
fails, even though the latter has the
hest judgement.
There is no moment like the present.
There is need for all force and energy
in the present moment. The person
who will not execute his or her resolu
tions while they are fresh upon them,
can have but little hope for them as-
Practical Flying Machine
First Invented by Daltonian
In all probability the first practical
solution of the Aeroplane problem was
made by a Dalton man, some ten years
or more ago.
The man was Major J. W. Blake,
now dead, but who even during his
sickness and old age, possessed one
of the clearest and most accurate sci
entific minds in the country.
Years before the Wright brothers or
any of the other experimenters con
structed their heavier-than-air ma
chines, Major Blake made a set of
plans and drawings of his ideas of a
machine that would solve the problem
and they were shown to others. Mr.
Frank Manly of the Manly Jail Works

it contained essentially the same ideas

At this day and date people do not

with a determination to win. The
training is good for them, it teaches
anyone to approach people and talk
intelligently to them and gives this
same person self-confidence and self
poise that is so essential to one who
wants to advance.
There is an old saying that “nothing
succeeds like success,” and it is es
pecially true in this case that as soon
as you begin to get votes your assur

meet people and talk to them in away

J. P. TO ANSWER
SERIOUSCHARGE
JUSTICE M. C. KENNEMORE, OF
MILL CREEK DISTRICT, IS
CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING
F. M. BABB.
M. C. Kennemore, a well known
justice of the peace of the Mill Creek
district, will have to answer to the
charge of assault and battery. The
charges were preferred against him
by F. M. Babb, a neighbor and also
a well known citizen of that district.
The warrant was sworn out against
’Squire Kennemore Sunday, when the
assault is alleged to have occurred,
and the trial should have taken place
before Justice S. B. Felker Wednes
day, but for the illness of the prose
cutor. The case is set for hearing
on December 14, and it is likely that
some interesting facts will develop.
The warrant charges that Kenne
more went to the house of Babb, as
saulting him, and using him in a rough
manner, among other things, choking
him.
A large number of witnesses have
been subpoenied in the case, which
will likely be a hard fought one, un
less time adjusts their differences.
Attorney W. E. Mann has been em
ployed to represent the defendant,

MISS. MILNEOELIGHTS
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE
Miss Florence Milner delighted an
audience at the opera house last night
when she appeared for the first time
in this city in concert, assisted by her
sister, Mrs. J. C. O’Rourke and her
accompanist, Miss Kate Hammond.
Those of Miss Milner’s friends, and
in fact the public generally, who have
watched her career for the past six
years, were forcibly struck with the
finished way in which she renders
selections from grand opera, since her
stay in New York, where she studied
expression under the ablest teachers
in the country. The performance
last night was well up to the stan
dard and the most fault-finding critic
could not have pointed out a flaw in
her rendition of the most difficult pas
sages from Gunod, Puccini and Weil.
In part two of the program Miss
Milner delighted the audience with a
number of songs in costume, which
were less classical but equally enjoy
ed. In these numbers both she and
Mrs. O’Rourke appeared in costume.
“I’m Bringing Up a Family” and
i“l’ve Got the Mumps,” both imita
tions of Irene Franklin were heartily
encored.
The great satisfaction about Miss
Milner’s performances are that she
throws into them a versatility unus
ual with concert singers. She can
turn from the purely classic to the
humorous and can act, with an ease
and spontaniety that captivates every
listener.
Miss Milner’s sister. Mrs. O’Rourke
won the hearts of everyone with her
grace of movement in the folk dances
and with her voice, which is also
beautiful.
i Miss Milner will leave Cartersville
j this week for New York where she
j will probably accept a contract with
I Henn- W. Savage in Grand Opera for
the rest of the winter.
A girl needs her whole face to smile,

OLIVER STEED
DIESJNJEXAS
FORMERLY RESIDED IN DAL
TON—THE REMAINS WILL BE
BROUGHT BACK TO HOME IN
MURRAY FOR INTERMENT.
Oliver Steed died at the home of
his uncle, Dr. Oliver M. Heartsill, at
Marshall, Texas, Tuesday night. The
news of his death will be received with
regret by his numerous friends and
former associates in Dalton and Mur
ray county, where he formerly lived.
Mr. Steed had been in delicate
health for several months, and during
that time he was taken to a sanitarium
in El Paso, and other places and every
thing possible done, in hopes that his
condition would change for the bet
ter. His friends and relatives were
hopeful until two weeks ago, when
his mother was summonsed from her
home at Eton to his bedside in Mar
shall, and was with him in his final
struggle.
Than Oliver Steed a better boy
never lived. This will be attested to
by his friends and associates who
knew him well. He was all that a
Christian gentleman means. Though
frail, he had ambition, and there was
a brilliant future before him. His
employers trusted him implicitly, and
he deserved it. During his stay in
Dalton he was book-keeper at the
Leonard-McGhee Furniture Co., and
afterwards moved to Marshall, Texas,
accept ingr a responsible position with
a banking firm, which he held until he
w-as forced to resign on account of his
feeble condition.
The deceased is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Tay Steed; his brothers,
Heartsill Steed. Henry Steed, of Mar
shall, Texas; R. Noel Steed, James
Steed; a sister, Mrs. Annie Harris, of
Murray county. He is a first cousin
to Dr. John H. Steed, at Spring Place
and Lester Steed, of Winchester,
Tenn.
A message from Dr. Heartsill Wed
nesday stated that the remains would
be brought back to his former home
at Spring Place for interment, and
would likely arrive Friday. The re
mains will be accompanied by his
mother and other members of the
family.
ADVANCE SALE OF
GREAT DIXON PLAY
There is every indication of a re
cord-breaking advance sale for the
new Thomas Dixon play, “The Sins
of the Father,” which will be seen at
the Albert in Chattanooga on Wed
nesday, Dec. 7th, matinee and night.
Already there is a heap of mail
orders stacked up in the manager’s
office, which will be filled in order of
their receipt directly the line at the
box-office has been served. Many
playgoers have hired messengers to
secure early places in the line, and
very many others will come in person
in order to pick out the best reserva
tions. So great a rush is anticipated
that the management has felt obliged
to put on an extra box-office force for
the sale. Judging by the enormous
crowds that attended the first pre
sentation of Thomas Dixon’s previous
work, “The Clansman,” the house
will be packed to the doors at each
performance
