Wife of Veteran Soldier Is Buried by His Side For the first time in the history of -Dalton a woman has been interred in the Confederate soldiers’ cemetery. Mrs. Paul Walker, descended from famous ancestry, has been carried to her last resting place beside her hus band, a Confederate veteran, who died many years ago. Mr. Walker was a man of great bravery and fought through the six ties. At the time of his death and burial years ago, a place was reserved by his side and it was understood that Mrs. Walker upon her death would be laid there. Mrs. Walker was a great-grand daughter of the famous General Brown, of revolutionary fame. Among the keepsakes that she left Engineer’s Whistle Plays “Oh, How I Love Jesus.” 1 ‘ Oh, How I Love Jesus, ’ ’ was play ed with a whistle by the engineer pulling the Southern Baptist Conven tion special which left Dalton last night for Jacksonville. The N. C. & St. L. railway and the Western & Atlantic railroad had a through special from Nashville to Jacksonville and last night when the train reached Dalton a large number of people, who were either bound so the convention or had come down to see friends, were on the station plat form. When the train pulled in loaded CROWN POINT SCHOOL CLOSES FINE SESSION The first term of the Crown Point school closes Friday the 19th. All things considered the school has pro gressed finely under the supervision of Miss Eula Edmondson and Miss Vinnie Neal assistant. They have enrolled something like one hundred and twenty-five pupils, all of whom have shown marked pro gress. The average would have been much better had it not been for meas les, mumps and other sickness. This has the promise of being one of the good schools of the county. The interest of the Crown Mills in promoting and sustaining the school is to be commended in the highest terms. This institution of learning is an honor and will prove a real blessing to the community. The chil dren as well as the parents are very grateful to the Lesche club for the interest they have manifested in do nating quite a number of good books for their library and it is hoped that others may contribute in this way. There will be no special exercises for the school on Friday, except pro moting the many that deserve to be. The children will be served cake and cream in the beautiful grove near the school building.

Mrs. Brown was one of the famous beauties of her day and the pin con tains a lock of George Washington’s hair and was given her by General Washington himself at a large ball, at which Mrs. Brown was claimed to be the most beautiful guest. It is very handsome and Mrs. Walker has been offered a large sum for it. She also left a picture, in which the design is woven from locks of hair of various members of the ancestral tree.

The manager of a suburban music i hall, says the Metropolitan, was test ing the abilities of several candidates for stage honors one day last week, and this is how he let down one of the would-be funny men: “I’m sorry my boy, but your songs won’t do for me. I can’t allow any profanity in my theatre,” he said not unkindly. “But. my dear sir, I do not use pro fanity,” replied the aspirant. “No,” assented the manager, “but the audience would.” A woman stops telling her age as soon as age begins telling on her.

A letter received from him today is as follows: Anniston, Ala., May 1 , 1911. Mr. B. L. Heartsill,, Dalton. Ga. Dear Sir: —I greatly appreciate your consideration in saving me twen ty copies of your paper with school house cut. The cut is an excellent one and your pressman has certainly done his part well. It is one of the very best newspaper reproductions that I have ever seen. I enclose one dollar and thank you again for your kindness. Very truly yours. CHAS. W. CARLTON. A Working Democrat. On the morning of election, says the Metropolitan Magazine, a farmer came into Hiram Morse’s blacksmith shop to have his horse shod. “Purty busy this morning. Bill?” inquired Morse, as he raked the em bers together on the forge. ‘‘Yep,” answered Bill. “Hain’t got hardly time ter go ter the village and vote. ’ ’ “Well. ’lm party busy myself," said Morse, casually, “I’ll tell yer what we’ll do,” he added after a mo ment’s thought. “Long’s yer a re publican an’ I’m a democrat, we’ll pair off, jes as they do in congress, an’ neither one of us’ll vote. What do you say ? ” Bill agreed to the proposition, but after election it was found that the blacksmith had paired off with every republican customer who had come into the shop. ONE DOLLAR A YEAH U. S ENGINEER ESTABLISHES DUR MERIDIAN REPRESENTATIVE OF COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY FINDS ACCURATE POINT OF BEGIN NING FOR FUTURE CALCULA TORS— TOOK OBSERVATIONS FROM SUN. Mr. W. M. Hill of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, who has been in the city for two days, has established a correct meridian and will in all probability leave tonight for Murray county where he will per form work of a similiar nature. Although extremely technical, the work of Mr. Hill is of vast impor tance and from now on, there will be in the city'park, an accurate starting point for any surveys which may have to be made for the'rest of time. The magnetic star is moving around the polar star, the rate of its travel being such that it will make the com plete circle in 667 years. The ordinary surveyor’s compass gets its bearings from the magnetic star and on account of the continued motion of this body there is a var iance as about one minute a year. In the course of a few years a line line run from an original starting point with the same kind of instru ment would be at variance with the« former figures because of the changing magnetic star. The coast and geodetic survey in order to establish a permanent start ing point eleminates the magnetic star from its calculations and by means of a theodlite, takes the exact location of a given point direct from the sun. The bearings taken from the sun never change and in bright weather like Dalton has been having for sev eral days makes it possible to obtain the greatest degree of accuracy in es tablishing a point. Mr. Hill has been working in the city park and will place there a small marble shaft on the end of which is a copper disk. It will be an offense against the government to disturb or change the location of this shaft and for all time it will serve as a correct starting point. For example: if County Surveyor Hamilton desires to use a compass in running a line, he can go to this start ing point and his instrument will al low for any variances in the magnetic star and place him on exactly the right line. Mr. Hamilton is quite familiar with the work of the geodetic survey and says that the establishment of this mark will he a great help to sur veyors. There issaid to be one line running through South Carolina and out into the Atlantic ocean, where there is never any variance, but experts have never been able to explain this pheno menon.
