EDITOR WALKER WANTS IO SEE DALTON GROW AN EDITORIAL PARAGRAPH IN SUNDAY TIMES SHOWS A COR DIAL FEELING TOWARD THIS SECTION—WILL COME TO THE COUNTY FAIR. Hon. L. G. Walker, editor-in-chief of te Chattanooga Times, recognizes the community of interest between that city and the North Georgia ter ritory. Here is what he said yester day: Dalton Argus: Now that the rule nisis have been boxed for the winter season how would it do to invite the ed itor of the Chattanooga Times to come down and be a guest of the . Whitfield county fair in October? We are sure that gentleman would enjoy a day. at least, among the good old-fashioned country folks that have made this section bloom and blossom as the rose. By all means invite him and he will come. The Chattanooga Times has a warm spot for Dalton and its good people, because that city and its tri butary county has borne a large part in adding to the culture, progress and prosperity of Chattanooga. This newspaper wants to see Dalton grow and increase in wealth, and it stands ready to help the Whitfield county fair in every way it can. We want to see the Dalton-Chattanooga boule vard completed at as early a day as possible, and then we want the Chat tanooga Electric Railway company, among the first things it does after it installs its great Ocoee electric plant, to build an interurban trolley line be tween Chattanooga and Dalton, so that the friendly relations between us and that city may be cemented closely and for all time. SIGNING THE PETITION Friends of Good Roads Down at Tilton Wants Convicts to Work. A correspondent of the Daily and Weekly Argus called this morning to say that the people of Tilton and surrounding country appreciate the efforts of these papers in whooping up good roads and at the same time to complain of the one particularly bad place in the public road just the other side of the Tom Cox place. The Argus desires to say that Judge Bogle sent a competent man down there this week to make an estimate of what a concrete culvert would cost for that very spot and will recom mend to the commissioners that one be built. The Judge is awake to the conditions of every bad place in Whitfield’s roads and if he had the money they would be fixed. The call er told the Argus man that the people in Tilton and all around that section were signing the petition for getting convicts for work on the roads.
