DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 191 1 HEW BRIDGE OVER THE CONNASAUGA JUST A LITTLE SOUTHWEST OF TILTON WILL BE BUILT. MONEY FOR JOHNSTON MONUMENT The Whitfield County Commissioners Had a Fine Business Sesion in Dalton Today and Did Many Good Things. Judge Bogle and his cabinet of county commissioners met this morn ing at the court house. Aside from the routine business of the commissioners, they decided to defray half the expenses of building a bridge across Connasauga at a point a little southwest of Tilton near the old Bachman nursery and the Sloan place across in Gordon county. Gor don county will pay half the cost. Another and most gratifying action of the commissioners was appropriat ing two hundred and fifty dollars to ward the expense of the Joseph E. Johnston monument. This amount now completes the amount necessary for its erection. All of the com missioners were present, being W. T. Cox, John Black, John Wilson and Harlan Wood, besides of course, Judge Bogle, who i schairman.

TOLD WIFE TO GO ON PORCH AND KISS OTHER MAN THERE Judge, I told my wife to kiss that man and I made them go out on the front porch so this woman could see there was no harm in it,” said I. R. Cavin, an Atlanta piano salesman, living on the corner of Spring and James street, in police court yester day afternoon, during the course of the trial of cases of disorderly con duct made against him and his wife. Neighbors testified to “vulgar” be havior on the front porch of the Cavin home. Mrs. R. E. Richardson and Mrs. Weeks, wife of a doctor, both stated that Mrs. Cavin had stood in the front door with a man named Bill Talley, and had been hug ged and kissed by him. Adjectives applied to the performance placed it in the “soul” variety. “This woman,” said Cavin, meaning Mrs. Richardson, “has been intimat ing things to me about my home and I went home mad. I found out that the man whom she had been referring to was an old friend of the family, a second cousin, and I made them go out on the £ront porch so they could CHATTANOOGA SPECIALISTS DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP The partnership between the well known eye, ear, nose and throat spe cialists, Dr. J. McChesney Hogshead and A. P. D. Cleary, was yesterday mutually dissolved, says the Chatta nooga Times of today.

Dr. Hogshead will continue to prac tice his profession at the corner of Vine street and Georgia avenue, while it is understood that Dr. Cleary* after a few months’ res* locate elsewhere. GOING TO ATLANTA TO GET FUNDS FOR THE JOHNSTON MONUMENT Now that the Whitfield county com missioners have given a goodly amount toward the erection of the Joseph E. Johnston monument, Col. W. C. Martin and Mrs. F. W. Elrod, president of the Bryan M. Thomas chapter of the Dahghters of the Con federacy, will go to Atlanta in the morning to see Representative Tar ver and get the amount recently ap propriated by the state and put the whole amount out at interest. The monument is expected to be complet ed by this time next year. The more interest your boy takes in manly sports the less he will be likely to gamble. HACKNEY May Succeed Mr. Frank W. Elrod at the Baggage Room Mr. James Hackney, of Varnell, is now the temporary baggage agent here for the Southern and Western & At lantic railways during the absence of Mr. F. W. Elrod, who is now in Atlanta making preparations to move his family there about the first of September. It is rumored that Mr. Hackney may keep the position per manently. ONE DOLLAR A YE AB see there was nothing in it.” Judge Broyles, at the close of the man’s statement, made some vigorous and caustic comments on his admis sions, and declared that no decent man would have stood by and seen what was going on. “There ought not but one man in the world hug a woman as these peo ple say that woman has been hugged, and that man is her husband,” he said. During the progress of the testi mony Mrs. Richardson attempted to illustrate the hug. At her right was Officer Williams. As she swiped at him he ducked toward the desk. “Oh, don’t be afraid, she said to the reluctant huggee, “I’m not go ing to hug you.” Cousel for Mrs. Cavin brought out the fact that Mrs. Richardson had once been arrested herself. She told, the court that some eight years ago she had beat a man who had imposed on her on the street, because she had no one else to do it for her. Mr. Cavin was fined sls and costs and Mrs. Cavin was fined $25 and costs.

DEVIL MAY BE JOKER BUT HE IS NO JOKE Chicago, July 31 —“The devil is a reality. He may he a joker, bat he is no joke. He is as subtle as a twen tieth century politician, and the bigk gest liar the ages have produced.” This statement was made today by Rev. D. C. King, pastor of the Nor wood Park Methodist church, at the closing session of the Desplaines As socia t ion campmeet i ng. “Man has not changed in the essen tial sos his character since the days of Adam and Eve,” continued Dr. King. “The bold outlines are the same. Adam’s program of innocence, sin, guilt sorrow, struggle and salva tion still is our program.” Now honestly, wouldn’t this town look better if those brick walls in the burned distrct were razed?
