HEALnTBOARD
ASKS COUNCIL
10 PASS LAWS
BOARD OF HEALTH WANTS
COUNCIL TO PASS AN ANTI
EXPECTORATING ORDINANCE
AND DESIRES THAT STORES
BE SCREENED.
/
Suggestions for ordinances looking
to the improvement of health condi
tions in Dalton were made by the
Board of Health to council last night
and if these suggestions pass as or
dinances a number of stores will have
to be screened, garbage cans will be
placed at each corner in the business
section of the city and last, but not
least, it will be unlawful to spit on the
sidewalk.
The board held a meeting yesterday
afternoon in council chambers and for
mally organized by electing Dr. J. F.
Harris chairman and Mr. Walter
Jones secretary.
At this meeting they drew up their
suggestions in writing and they were
read last night by Clerk Carroll.
Council passed the matter up to the
ordinance committee so that ordin
ances may be suitably drafted.
An important paragraph in the com
munication from the board asked
council whether or not a health offi
cer would be allowed the board and at
what salary. This question along
with the others goes to the ordinance
committee. The communication from
the board is as follows:
Hon. Mayor and Council, Dalton, Ga.
Gentlemen:—At a meeting of the
recently appointed Board of Health
held this day, it was decided to ask
your body whether or not a health
officer would be allowed the body and
if so, at what salary.
To suggest an ordinance providing
that all stores in which any food
stuffs, fruits, soft drinks or any
other article of food or drink is sold,
shall be carefully screened.
That all fruits or food stuffs shall
be kept off the streets or else careful
ly screened in proper receptacles.
To ask the passage of an ordinance
making it unlawful to spit on side
walks.
To ask the council to provide a cov
ered garbage can for each corner with
in the business section. To require
every business house to keep a cover
ed garbage can for all refuse, and to
again carefully enforce the ordin
ances already in existance relating to
the use of boxes and lime in all sur
face closets, be rigidly enforced.
The board has properly organized
by electing Dr. J. F. Harris chairman
and Walter Jones secretary.
This June 3rd. By order of the
board. WALTER JONES, Sec.
LEADING PAPER OF NORTH GEORGIA. BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN PIEDMONT SECTION.
DALTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JUNE 8. 1911.
DALTON HAS
A DEACONESS
MISS FEUSS WILL REPORT HERE
IN SEPTEMBER TO WORK UN
DER AUSPICES OF VARIOUS
CHURCHES.
Dalton is to have a Deaconess, who
will report to the city in September
and work under the auspices of the
city churches.
At a meeting of the re-organized
missionary society of the First Metho
dist church held yesterday, Rev. Luke
Johnston addressedl a large crowd of
women workers on the subject and it
was decided by the Methodist ladies
that they would help support a Dea
coness provided the other Dalton
churches would join in.
Therefore a committee was sent to
the meeting of the Ladies Improve
ment society of the First Presbyterian
church, which was in session at the
home of Miss Lizzie Denton and asked
the society if it would also join in the
movement. Affirmative action was
taken and the ladies of the First Bap
tist church are to take action at their
next meeting which is to be held in
the near future.
The Methodist conference gives so
much a year for the support of a Dea
coness provided the churches do the
rest and it is now practically certain
that a Deaconess will be sent to Dal
ton.
She will live among the poor and
eedy, doing works of charity and min
istering both religiously and tempor
ally to those who need care.
The Deaconess will be a Miss Feuss.

Changes Dress at Fire.
Minerva, Ohio —Mrs. H. H. Hart,
when she discovered the roof of her
home was on fire yesterday sent in an
alarm, then hurried to her bed room
to make herself more presentable when
neighbors should arrive.
Mrs. Hart had been working in the
kitchen, but when people began to
flock to the fire they found her attired
in her Sunday meeting frock, appar
ently unconcerned that her home was
threatened with destruction.
Members of the volunteer fire de
partment responded to the call in
fancy band uniforms just as they
came from participating in the memo
rial ceremonies of one of the village
churches.

CROWDS HEAR
I. B. HUDSON
MANY PEOPLE FILL THE COURT
HOUSE TO HEAR COMMISSION
ER HUDSON SPEAK ON AGRI
CULTURE YESTERDAY.
A large crowd assembled at the
court house yesterday afternoon at 1
o’clock to hear the address of Com
misioner of Agriculture Thomas G.
Hudson, who was the chief guest of
the big agricultural rally.
Mr. Hudson first took up the line
of more intensive farming and his
words of advice on this all absorbing
feature of farm work were well worth
the time of the audience, which was
a thoughtful one and which had at
tended to get the most good out of the
meeting.
He advocated deeper plowing, larg
er mules, better schools and better
roads.
His remarks on the subject of good
roads came at a time when his hear
ers were peculiarly interested in the
subject and were closely followed.
He urged the people to educate their
boys and girls to know more of scien
tific farming and dairying for profit,
thereby keeping them at home and
preventing them from moving to the
towns and cities.
Commissioner Hudson’s speech was
one of the features of the big meeting
and was enthusiastically applauded.
Jones—’W e"*ve Aiissed you very
much; you haven’t been to the club
since your wife died.
Bones—Well don’t worry; I shall
marry again.—M. A. P.

COLVARDAND
MISS KINNEY
GET CDNIRACI
LADY ARTIST OF NASHVILLE
LANDS CONTRACT FOR JOHN
STON MONUMENT IN CONNEC
TION WITH H. P. COLVARD, OF
THIS CITY.
r
At its six o’clock session last
night the Joseph E. Johnston Monu
ment Commission awarded the con
tract for the Johnston monument to
Miss Belle Kinney of Nashville and
Mr. H. P. Colvard, of this city.
Miss Kinney is to do the bronze
work and Mr. Colvard the granite
work and Miss Kinney will leave to
day to get busy with her work on the
imposing memorial.
The commission held a lengthy ses
sion yesterday morning and adjourn
ed at noon without having reached a
decision and it was not until last night
that the matter was finally settled.
Leland, of New York, had before the
body a very handsome model and a
number of other bidders submitted
beautiful drawings and it was hard
to make a selection.
Miss Kinney’s plans will call for
an eight foot statue of General John
ston and this will rest on an eight-foot
pedestal, making the total height of
the monument sixteen feet.
Miss Kinney will make first a clay
model of the proposed statue and when
this is perfected the bronze work will
begin. It will take some time to
make the monument, perhaps a year,
as the work is very difficult and must
be done in a perfect manner.
As soon as possible The Daily Ar
gus will reproduce a half tone engrav
ing of the monument as it will ap
pear when finished.
Age of Marriage.
For various reasons, educational,
social, economic, girls nowadays do
not as a rule marry as young as was
customary say 100 years ago. Many
a grandmother and great-grandmother
of the preseint generation is written
down in the family Bible—they had
family Bibles then —as a bride at 16
or even younger. Today, by common
consent, the girl who marries at 16
is regarded as having made a mistake.
It is generally conceded that she is
too much of a child to properly as
sume matrimonial responsibilities.
But there is not common agreement
in regard to 25 as a more suitable age
than 20 for that of a bride, and is
never likely to be while young men
and maidens meet and decide these
things for themselves.
Nor is it by any means certain that
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
BOARD NEEDS
MORE MONEY
FOR FT. HILE
CHAIRMAN FRANK MANLY SAYS
CITY HAS BORROWED $7,000
FROM SCHOOL MONEY IN SEV
EN YEARS—THE BOARD NOW
WANTS SOME OF IT BACK.
Chairman Frank Manly, of the mu
nicipal Board of Education appeared
before council last night and stated
that more funds would be necessary
for the erection and completion of the
Fort Hill school.
The matter was referred to the
school committee with power to act
and the committee will see that the
money is forthcoming at the proper
time and so matters will proceed with
out delay and a contract will be let.
Mr. Manly said to council thjit the
board was now up against the propo
sition of not having sufficient funds.
He recalled to council’s attention
that of the original bond money for
schools, $10,006 was for the North
Dalton school and $15,000 for the
Fort Hill school.
In North Dalton $2,000 had been
paid for a lot and this left SB,OOO for
the building, which was sufficient to
do the work.
In regard to the Fort Hill school
however, the city had purchased at a
great bargain the Female college pro
perty and after paying off an indebt
edness on the building and after
plumbing and heating and other ex
penses were met, there was left in
the hands of the board only $10,500
for the Fort Hill school.
Mr .Manly said that the lowest bid
obtainable after trimming down the
figures to the last notch would be
$13,000, and inasmuch as the city had
since 1904 been using school money
for other purposes such as sewer ex
tension, water works, streets, it
seemed only fair that in th ecoming
apportionment the board be allowed
to get back some of the money from
these other departments. He stated
that in all about $7,000 has been bor
rowed from the school funds in the
past seven years and that now the
school board must have enough to
complete the Fort Hill building and
equip it.
Mr. Manly stated that it was not
necessary to have all the money even
this year, hut the board desired to
know where it would stand in the end.
Council referred the whole matter
to the school committee with power
to act and it is understood that the
committee will look out for the board
and see that it is properly provided
with funds for the purpose desired.
A contract for the Fort Hill build
ing will be let now in the near future
so that the buildings may be com
pleted for occupancy in the fall.
there is any special wisdom in fixing
the limit of 25 even on the
ground that the girl is better able to
choose a husband at that age than at
16. It is doubtless’quite true that at
25 tfie man who caught her fancy at
18 might not please her, but on the
other hand if she had married him at
18 she might be entirely satisfied with
him at 25 and for the rest of her life,
being under his influence, developing
with him and her fancy not straying
in other directions as if she were sin
gle. Probably the majority of hus
bands and wives would have married
other than they did had they post
poned matrimony five or ten years, yet
it is by no means certain that they
would have chosen more wisely or
happily. _
