HAYWARD’S MENA6E
OF GATS, DOGS, HENS
The genial Philip Hayward today re
ceived a shipment that breaks all
records of its kind in-so-far as the
records of the local freight and ex
press offices show.
Phil, and everybody who knows him
loves to call him Phil, got in a crate
of Angora cats, a crate of English
bull pups, also a crate of rare Orph
ington chickens. No sooner had they
reached the motion picture house, (you
know Phil owns the Dalton Picture
show) than he sent out runners, mes
sengers, valets de chamber, special
detectives and gendarm to gather up
Romeo Freer, Watt Bryant, Bert
Tyler, Jack McKnight'and Dave Alp
er to come at once. They came in
stanter. The newly arrived canines,
felines and poultry were petted, cod
dled and fed to their hearts’ content.
They are the best specimens of their
fellows and will be given a special
booth at the county fair in October.
Go down and see Phil and his menage.
MRS. SANDERS FUNERAL
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
The remains of the late Mrs. G. P.
Sanders arrived yesterday afternoon
and simple services at the grave were
conducted by Rev. W. R. Foote.
Messrs. Mac, Will and James San
ders, sons of the deceased, were pre
sent. Miss Sanders, the only daugh
ter, living in Dallas, Texas, was un

“Appariation” in Church.
Philadelphia, July 17—Worshipers
in the Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tompkin’s
Holy Trinity P. E. church, were given
a start Sunday morning when there
suddenly appeared from apparently
nowhere the visiaon of a fiery-eyed wo
man clad in clinging robes of white
adorned with golden spangles that
glittered in the morning light.
Dr. Tomkins was in the midst of a
sermon when the apparition stopped
him and striking a dramatic posture
in the center isle the woman exclaim
ed :
“I have been sent to seek the lost
sheep. There are wolves here in sheep
clothing.”
Up the aisle she stalked to the al
tar, her flowing gown and peculiar
headgear adding to the striking pic
ture. Her feet were clad in golden
colored slippers.
“I have been sent and will speak.
The lost sheep must be found,” she
cried.
Patrolman Bunting, summoned by
an usher, went to the woman and told
her she must leave the church.
“Behold I have found my sheep!”
she cried, throwing her arms around
the policeman’s neck. She was gently
taken out.
Mr. J. N. Parsons, a well known
young man and son of Rev. N. A. Par
sons, has associated himself with Mr.
S. E. Berry in the insurance field and
will represent the National Life of
Nashville, and the Georgia Loan and
Investment Company, of Tifton.
Card of x Thanks.
We, the son and daughter of the
late Mrs. K. S. Derrick, desire to re
turn our sincere thanks to those who
so kindly tendered services and ap
preciated attention during her illness
and death. A. 0. Burdine and wife,
day evening. The public is cordially
invited to come out and show its ap
preciation of the favorite son of Dal
ton and Whitfield county.

A CORRECT ACCOUNT
OF SIMMONS DEATH
Correct reports of the death of
James Simmons, who is alleged to have
been overcome by noxious gases while
cleaning a well up near Grove Level
Monday, were this morning given The
Argus.
Messrs. John H. Brch, Marion Mas
sengale and Joshua Garratt were pre
sent at the time and they say there
was no water in the well but Simmons
had been let down (by them to place
a stick of dynamite. Simmons soon
called to them to draw him up on ac
count of the gases and as they were
pulling him up and had gotten him
about half way, they felt his weight
giving away and in a moment knew
he had fallen. It appears that Sim
mons must have been so overcome
from asphyxiation at the moment he
was no longer able to hold on to the
rope, having at the same time a shovel
in his hand, and fell, his head strik
ing violently the rocks at the bot
tom.
MR. REUBEN J. KEITH WAS
A VISITOR IN TOWN TODAY
You argue your own ignorance if
you don’t know Rube Keith.
Certainly you have traveled but lit
tle if you have never been in the Un
ion passenger depot at Chattanooga,
for that is where he is the autocrat
of baggage smashing. His official en
titlement is that of Union depot bag
t.gage agent. * "
Mr. Keith was for a long time a
Daltonian and even now owns a good
farm out a few miles in the country.
He always comes here, with his fam
ily, and spends his vacation. Mr.
Keith was in years gone by (we won’t
say how many), leader of the Dalton
cornet band and orchestra, in which
were Will N. Harben, F. T. Reynolds,
(bass drummer), Ray Knight, Gus Sel
vidge, John Miller, John Hill, Cooper
Holtzclaw, Ed Emmons and other men
who are now prominent in the busi
ness and professional life of the
South.
Wasn’t Interested.
Gov. Tener, of Pennsylvania, says
the Cosmopolitan, is an inveterate
smoker and choice as to his selection
of cigars. Lighting a Havana recent
ly he said:
“The Londoners are indifferent
about their tobacco—indifferent and
blase, like an omnibus conductor I
saw in Oxford street.
“You know the London omnibus?
It is a double-decker. If you sit on
top you must go up and down by a
very steep stairway.
“Well, this blase conductor pulled
up his bus at Regent circus, and the
ladies bound for Peter Robinson’s
quickly got out. But one fat lady, who
had been sitting on top, came down
the steep and winding stairs very slow
ly. Her skirt flapped around her
ankles and at every step she stopped
and thrust it carefully down. The
conductor waited with a bored expres
sion with his hand on the bell rope;
but he lost patience when the fat lady
stopped for the fifth or sixth time to
thrust down her billowing skirts, and
he burst out angrily:
“Now, then lady hurry up can’t
you. Figgers ain’t no treat to me. ’

CHIEF PERRY AND HIS LADDIES

A RESOLUTION TO
COUNCIL PASSED
An Earnest Meeting Held Last Night
—Bull Dogs and Lemons Discussed.
«
Chief Will Perry and the whole of
the fire department threatened to re
sign at its called meeting last night.
In fact they did and the resigna
tions would have stuck but for the
pouring of oil on the troubled waters
by Mr. Frank Manly and others.
Many of the gallant laddies were up
in arms, so to speak, and they indulg
ed some talk straight from the shoul
der; each speech was liberally punc
tured with strong approval by the
other members present.
The action of the city council Mon
day night in granting a permit to Mc-
Knight and Fallis for building a “fire
trap,” as the speakers denounced the
proposed ironclad sheds to be erected
on the lot recently occupied by some
sheds and a blacksmith shop which
were tfurned a few days ago.
After each one w* spoke had given
his opinion of the council’s action the
affair was more ealmly gone into and
the result is that a resolution was pre
pared memoralizing the mayor and
council to recind its action and the
resolution asks that a fire warden be
appointed to have authority, with the
aid of the chief and a member of the
council, to pass on all applications for
buildings and to condemn the present
so-called fire traps.
This resolution met the entire ap
proval of those present and a com
mittee composed of Messrs. Frank
Manly, Frank Mitchell and J. L. Buch
anan will wait on the mayor today
and ask that he call a meeting of the
council and take action.
It is claimed by the department that
the charter of the city clearly gives
council the right for a fire warden.
The decisions of the supreme court
were cited to show that the character
of buildings proposed by McKnight
and Fallis is not a fire-proof one. It
was further shown that the city of
Atlanta does not allow them nor any
other house with a tar or gravel roof
within her fire limits. The Dalton
fire ordinances were quoted and they
are interpreted by the boys to also
prohibit these sort of structures with
in the prescribed fire limits.
Chief Perry in his speech claimed
to have been handed a lemon by Ai
derman Mann and he (Perry) was not
going to stand for it and thought
best under the circumstances to get
out. Other members offered their
resignations to the department.
In offering his quota to the subject
matter Mr. Joe Buchanan said:
“Sometimes it does a bull dog good
to have a hound get after him—it
generally helps the bull dog.”
In discussing the alleged attitude
of Aiderman Mann one of the speak
ers said that he was surprised at
the action of that member of the coun
cil for his reputation had been a
stickler for maintaining strictly the
ordinances of the city, and as he was a
good lawyer he should have been bet
ter acquainted with the laws. The -
fire hoys will hold on to their jobs
for a short while longer and the con
census of opinion is that as soon as
Mayor Trammell can get his members
together the whole matter will be ami
cably adjusted. ~
