DALTON
REALESTATE
QUITE ACTIVE
| SEVERAL TRANSACTIONS CHAR
ACTERIZE THE FIRST DAY
OF SEPTEMBER.
I SOOD PRICES WERE ESTABLISHED
Farm Lands Are Going Up in the
Same Ratio of City Property.
Real estate is becoming quite ac
' five in Dalton.
September opened up with some
sharp trading and from the prices
L quoted there can be no doubt but it
■ has an upward tendency all along
’ the line and in all classes of land,
lots and bindings.
Dr. M. M. Puckett opened up the
day with buying the Lank Barrett
brick home on King street which is
now occupied by Mr. Phil Hayward,
the motion picture proprietor, and
who took a year's lease on the home.
Dr. Puckett will make some decided
improvements in it and on it soon.
Col. W. E. Mann sold two cottages
yesterday for a neat profit and im
mediately reinvested by the purchase
of the King brick store on Hamilton
street. This store is now occupied
by the Dalton Buggy company for
storing its wagons and is the one be
tween the office of B. A. Tyler and
the Thomas Dry Goods Company.
The prices paid are considerably
above that which these houses
brought two and three years ago, all
of which goes to show that real es
| tate has risen in prices considerably
in that time.
The Argus knows of several more
trades that are now in the course of
being consummated and the figures
asked and offered also show that
everybody here has faith in Dalton
realty. Farms are going up in price
also and there are several trades of
that sort on tapis. You cannot keep
Dalton and this section down if you
try it. The 11 bulls” have the
"goat” of the “bears,” any way
you take it.
JOHN INGRAM
GOT AN ARM
BROKEN
AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CROWN
COTTON MILLS MET A PAIN
FUL MISHAP IN THE BELTING
THIS MORNING.
John Ingram, an employee in the
Crown cotton mill had the misfortune
to get an arm broken this morning.
In some manner Ingram got his
left arm in the belting of some part
of the machinery and it broke that
member just above the elbow. He
was discovered almost as soon as the
accident happened and several fellow
■workmen rushed to his assistance and
he was hurried off to the city office
of Dr. J. Glenn McAfee, where the
broken member was set and the man’s
suffering alleviated. When Ingram
reached town he was suffering too
much pain to give an account of hiw
the accident occurred. At present
he is resting as easily as circumstanc
es will permit. The officers of the
mill are giving the young man all
possible attention.
Picture Show for Calhoun.
Mr. Romeo Freer is in Calhoun,
superintending the superstruction of
a motion picture house which he will
open down there next Wednesday.
Mr. Freer is a popular Daltonian and
the people of Calhoun will learn to
like him as well as the people here
as soon as they come to know him as
well.

PROVED SUCH A SUCCESS SEV
ERAL MERCHANTS WANT
IT REPEATED.
THEARGUS INNOVATION APPRECIATED
What the Live Wires of Dalton Had
to Say Concerning the Venture.
The Dollar Day for last Saturday
inaugurated by . The Argus was a
success.
A brief visit among the merchants
who took advantage of The Argus
space for this occasion disclosed the
fact it paid. Charley Coffey says he
had 27 callers and sold 25 of them.
John Thomas says his trade was
splendid. Herman Fox, of the Dal
ton Novelty Store was agreeably sur
prised. Routh’s force was kept busy.
Every friend of the Maples Hard
ware company that was in town gave
them a call. The New York Dry
Goods and Clothing Company was
as busy as a bee in a tar bucket and
Mr. Cannon wore a smile all day
while showing the big new stock of
fall goods. At Buchholz there was
constant stream from morning until
night. The “Hayward” theatre was
packed and jammed at every show.
The Economy store handled the large
trade splendidly. Baker & Buchanan
were showing and selling furniture
like a real cotton day. McWilliams,
“the square deal man” was at the
helm of a fine trade. The Dalton
Buggy company rolled out several
jobs. Bowen’s were too busy to give
the reporter any news. Will Jones
was selling lots of fresh western
meat over his new counters. Mrs. J.
L. Hudson’s Millinery store looked
like a Saturday before Easter. Gard
ner, the plumber, was figuring on
several new jobs while Gardner, the
photographer, had a large waiting list.
The experiment proved a big success
and several of the merchants suggest
that a big middle-ofthe week trade
day be run during the county fair in
October —a real bargain cash day.

MONUMENT
IN MEMORY
OF VETERANS
THE JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON CAMP
OF UNITED CONFEDERATE
VETERANS TO BUILD A MARK
ER TO ALL OF ITS MEMBERS,
DEAD AND LIVING.
The Joseph E. Johnston camp of
Confederate veterans met at the
court house in regular monthly ses
sion this morning.
Commander S. B. Felker presided
and quite an interesting meeting was
held. The matter of raising a camp
memorial as a historic monument to
the members of the camp who have
“passed over the river” and (for
those who shall hereafter go to their
long reward, the following members
were appointed a committee to get
up funds for carrying out the project.
George W. Stafford, Chairman.
John R. Tarver, secretary.
Joseph Bogle, treasurer.
William Batey.
A. P. Roberts.
Isaac Finley.

GETTING ON
RIGHT LINE
The editor of the Eastman Georgia,
Times-Journal has awakened to the
fact he has been “worked” too free
ly and purposes to put some business
methods into his future relations with
the public. Here is what he says:
Were we to comply with all the
requests we receive for free adver
tising, our paper would contain space
for practically nothing else. Many
of these requests are from worthy in
stitutions that it would be our plea
sure to assist were we able to do so,
but the business of The Times-Jour
nal is to publish a local weekly news
paper and we must reserve our space
for news matter of interest to our
subscribers and for paid advertising
matter furnished by our patrons.
It would be just as reasonable to
walk into any merchantile establish
ment and ask the owner for all the
merchandise in a certain shelf as it
is to ask the newspaper for free ad
vertising space, but newspapers, n
their desire to assist worthy causes,
have been so liberal that their kind
ness is constantly imposed upon, and
necessity demands that the lines be
drawn very closely between news mat
ter of interest to the subscribers and
advertising matter of interest to the
parties furnishing it.
State and county fairs, Chambers
of Commerce, Orphans’ Homes, In
dustrial Institutions and other sim
ilar enterprises are all good things
with which we are in hearty sympa
thy, but we are not able to advertise
and promote them free of charge, and
shall make no effort to do so further
than the publication of such news
items concerning them as we think
our subscribers would be interested
in reading.

near Americus. Recently this farm

$55,000 and is resold today at a

“Man-Handling Drunkards.
Out at New Douglas, 111., they have
a very practical way of dealing with
their drunks, and one, too, that prom
ises to become efficious, says the Chat
tanooga Times. Going on the theory
that it isn’t so much the liquor as the
man who drinks it that makes all the
trouble, they have set about decipling
the man. Every individual caught
publicly in a state of intoxication and
every habitual drunkard known to the
authorities is duly fined —and in nec
essitous eases the fine money sent to
his family—after which he is taken to
the cemetery, tied to a tombstone and
compelled to sleep it off where his out
breaks and noisy chatter will not dis
turb anybody but himself.
The attractive feature of this me
thod is that public sentiment appears
to be directed toward saving the man
directly affected. The surest cure for
inebriety is to make it disreputable
if not heinous.
A Visit to Dr. Roux.
An Argus representative had the
pleasure today of being shown through
the rooms of the new dental parlors,
labatory and reception of Dr. Fred S.
Roux, in the Oglesby building.
They are most inviting and restful
and the doctor has equipped the offices
and work rooms with the latest ap
pliances for the successful and easy
accomplishment of his work of dentis
try. There are four rooms in all and
patients can here get all the best of
treatment known to the profession.
