FIRE HALL
COMMITTEE
GETS READY
WILL ERECT NEW BUILDING,
EMPLOYING FLINT HAMILTON
TO DO CONSTRUCTION—J. A.
SHOPE BUYS OLD PROPERTY
AND LANDS PLUMBING AND
WIRING CONTRACTS.
Work on the new fire hall and coun
cil chamber will be begun immediately,
an arrangement having been made by
the committee to go ahead with the
work on its own responsibility, em
ploying Mr. Flint Hamilton to do the
construction. The building will be
erected for a maximum of $4,500.
The old fire hall property has been
sold to Mr. John A. Shope. Mt. Shope
has also secured the contract for
plumbing and wiring the new building.
Some days ago, the committee
in charge of the hall advertised for
bids for the erection of the hall, but
none of them were accepted. The
committee has now decided to build
the hall itself and has secured the
services of Mr. Hamilton to execute
their plans.
Mr. Shope will place in the neces
sary plumbing and wire the new struc
ture for electric lights when the work
has advanced far enough to allow him
to begin work.
Within the next few days material
will probably be assembled and within
a short time Dalton will have a new
home for the city government, fire
department police and City Clerk.

GROCERS HAD
SPLENDID DAY
AT FORT HILL
A THOUSAND PLEASURE SEEK
ERS FROM CHATTANOOGA EN
JOYED PICNIC DINNER AND
DANCING—CROWD WAS ONE
OF MOST ORDERLY EVER VIS
ITING DALTON.
The Retail Grocers have come and
gone and it was one of the most de
lightful occasions of its kind Dalton
has ever seen and the Chattanoogans
seemed to enjoy the day.
A special representative of The
Times, Mr. Collier, was with the party
and the Times story is given below,
to show how appreciative the Grocers
and their friends were over the re
ception given them.
With a special train consisting of
12 coaches and carrying nearly 1,500
people, the retail grocers of Chatta
nooga and their many friends jour
neyed yesterday to Dalton where they
enjoyed themselves with baseball,
dancing and an excellent dinner.
Never in the history of the asso
ciation has there been a more orderly
crowd in attendance at the annual out-
• I
ing.
The train of 12 coaches and a bag
gage car. in which was carried all the 1
popular cold drinks, pulled out of the
Union station about one hour late. At
10 o'clock the train pulled in at Dal- 1
ton and in a short while the princi- ■
pal street of that town was lined with
the busy throng making its way to
wards the picnic grounds. From
the time or arrival until the noon hour
dancing was the main feature indulg
ed in by the merry throng. Although
the weather was extremely warm, the
crowd of dancers kept Saffer’s orches
tra playing t'wo-step and waltz music
from the time of arrival until baseball
at 3 o'clock. At high noon the many
valuable prizes that had been adver
tised were given away.
The feature of the afternoon was a
match game of baseball between a
picked team from Chattanooga and
the Dalton team. ' Although the Chat
tanooga boys did excellent work ami
were enthusiastically aided Wy 1.000
Chattanoogans, they suffered defeat
at the hands of the Dalton team by a
score of 3to 2. Not only was Chat
tanooga represented by a large and en
thusiastic crowd, but many people
from the nearby towns were also in
attendance. As the train pulled into
the station at least 2,000 people were
present to greet the Chattanoogans.
Never was there a more hearty or en
thusiastic welcome given a crowd of
picnickers than that extended by the
citizens of Dalton. Nor could there
have been selected a more appropriate
place for the affair than Dalton. The
picnic grounds (mown as Fort Depen
dable, situated on a hill which abounds
with plenty’ of good shade trees and
within walking distance of the city,
was a most ideal spot for such an oc
casion. On the crest of the hill was
located the dancing pavilion, while on
sides were good seats and tables for
the picnickers. Through the generosi
ty of Foster Seebold, the retailers
were able to secure this spot for the
affair.
On the return trip nothing* of any
consequence happened other than a
few funny incidents which transpired
during the ride through the tunnel.
As the train was wrapped in darkness
many feminine voices could be ’heard
to say: “Don't do that,” “Don’t
hug me so tight,” or “You are hurt
ing me,” and as the train came to
light and the guilty parties ascertain
ed they were continually roasted dur
ing the entire trip home.
The train was in charge of J. H.
Latimer, who also had on board three
special officers. As the train enter
ed the Union station and the throng
emerged bound for their respective
homes, all expressed as their opinion
that it was the greatest time of their
lives. The management also give it as
their opinion that the picnic was the
greatest success since the annual out
ing became a fixture.
