HOLLAND BUYS THE THREE GREEN LOTS ■ On Which Will Be erected Two Store Houses Two or Three Stories High;. Also a New Bank Building—Dalton on a Steady Boom. And yet another material evidence that Dalton is not going to the dem nation bow wows is the purchase of the three Green lots facing Hamilton street immediately south of the post office by Mr. John Holland. The lots are twenty-five feet each fronting on Hamilton sreet and one hundred deep running back to the new made alley. Mr. Holland paid twelve thousand five hundred dollars for the property, which shows his faith in Dalton dirt and her future outlook. Mr. Holland has transferred the lot next the postoffice to the new bank authorities and they will begin at once the erection of a handsome bank building. Mr. Holland *< a-vArgns represen tative said he would erect a two story building on the other two lots, one of’ which is the corner of Hamilton and Gordon. This building will be of handsome material and it is entirely probable that a third story will be put on by Mr. Holland for Masonic and other lodge purposes, and he is now in touch with the Masons to ac complish that end. »If this is decided upon it will be the best lodge room in North Georgia and will occupy a space 55 by 100 feet. These transactions go to prove what The Argus has all along claimed; that Dalton is on the up grade and that decidedly. Mr. Holland’s pur chase is an expression of what he j thinks of Dalton’s future and it will be seen and proven in but a short time that he hdS not been mistaken. The ■ opera house project is another one ■ that is happy on the way and when j built will be one that this city will be proud of and one that will take care of all the big shows on the road. The Parson’s Mistake. An amusing incident was witness- ; ed at a big railway sation recently. An old gentleman who was waiting for a train and at the same time in terested in the surroundings, did not , notice the approach of a porter strug- | gling wit ha large traveling trunk. | with the result that he was knocked ; off the platform onto the rails, says Judge. * A parson who was standing nearby promptly rushed to the unfortunate man’s aid, and. thinking he was the worse for liquor, remarked: “My good friend, whiskey has done that.” | But the old gentleman promptly re plied, “Wrong again, mister. It was porter.” The Girl in the Case. It often happens that the impecu- ; nious young man takes the initiative, the girl institutes the referendum and i her stern parents nstitute the recall.” says the Albany Herald.

The Greatest of Gifts. Once upon a time a poor woodcut ter who lived with his wife in a hovel at the edge of the forest, found an old woman held fast in one of his bear traps, says the Cleveland Plain- Dealer. He released her and took her to his home, and there the woodman and his wife cared for her until she ■ was well enough to resume her jour ney. Then, as she was about to leave, ’the man said to her, “Good mother, : will you put a gift upon our first .born ? ’ ’ ' And the old woman answered. “What gift would please thee best?” And the mother, after the fashion ■of said: “Let it be the I greatest of gifts.” “Then I wish him the gift of ac cumulating,” said the old woman, and went her way. But the mother was sad. She hop ed her son would be a poet, or a teach i er or a maker of laws. When their first born was yet a lad •he traded knives and the knife that ■ fell to him he traded for two knives. And in the game called marbles he cornered the neighborhood market adn sold the tiny spheres back to his little playmates at twice and thrice their first value. Later on the storks he bought always boomed, the gold i mines he secured were richer than ex pected., the railroads he looted proved precious pickings. So in time the first born of the woodcutter became a mighty power the land, and poets sang to him, _ I teachers took his bounty, and the , makers of laws were powerless before him. j And the man’s mother, who lived in a palace and longed for a cottage sighed and said: “Truly the old wo man was right. The ability of accu mulation is the greatest of gifts.” Occasionally a man makes his mark in the world because his wife makes him toe it. • DALTON’S HORSE SHOW THE BEST GOING ASKS ROOSEVELT TO ADDRESS GEORGIA SLAVES Savannah, Ga., Oct. 10 —R.

The Mussulman claims that our forefather, Adam, left a will. and that seventy legions of angels brought him sheets of paper and quill pens, nicely nibbed, all the way from Para dise, and that the Archangel Gabriel set his seal as witness. It may be added, however, that the authenticity of this will has not been e*.’ , 'ti!,ished. Will of Noah. It is claimed (hat Noah left a will, but of course this is an apocrypha. It is said that he divided his landed possessons, the globe, into three shares, one for each son. America was not included in this division for obvious reasons. Will of Job. There exists a very curious and an cient testament of Job, which was discovered and published by Cardinal Mai in 1839. It relates many de tails which we may look for in vain in the canonical Book. In it Job’s faithful wife, when reduced to the utmost poverty, sold the hair of her head to procure bread for her hus band. Will of Jacob. Jacob, the third of the Hebrew Patriarchs, in Egypt at the age of 147, but was buried by his sons in the Cave of Machpelah at Hebron, in Palestinne, the traditional burial place of the prophets and other Bib lical characters of their time. It can be stated that the very ear liest reference to an actual testamen tary disposition is by the words of this Patriarch: “Add Israel said unto Joseph, Be hold I die; but God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.” Q “Moreover, I have given to thee one portion aboye thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amor ite with my sword and with my bow.” “And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together that I may tell you that wb’ch shall befall you in the last days.” In the forty-eighth and forty-n nth chapters of Genesis are these words of the dying Patriarch; and here is found not only the disposition of a “portion” to Joseph, but the charac ters of each son is shown, the virtues or faults of each one is described, to each a symbolic emblem is assigned, and to each a future is prophesied. Here is a will in fact and in pro phecy. Col W. W. Seymour, of Chatta nooga, is in town today. • • * Mr. J. M. Alper, of Chattanooga, is in the city, the guest of his brother, Mr. Dave Alper. MORE LIVE STOCK AT FAIR THIS YEAR BY DOUBLE. Fully Twenty Head Had to Be Tied Out in. the Open—The Biggest Ex hibit Ever at the Fair—Who Some of Them Are. The horse and cattle show over at the fair grounds is the finest ever shown over there. At eleven o’clock this morning every stall was full and more than twenty head had to be tied out un der the big oaks west of the agri cultural building. Sam Smith brought in sixteen head of mules, mares, colts, jacks and jennies. Sam Carter from Murray is here with ten head of thorough breds and will have to stable them down town. The hog and sheep pens are full for the first time in the history of the fair. This part of the fair is one that appeals o a great many and is certain ly one that will be long remembered by all who,go over to see it. The su neame out at noon and this afternoon great crowds are going over and tonight there will be many more as the sidewalks have dried and walk ing is good. One of the belated exhibits, due to the rain yesterday, is the fresh vege table exhibit of Mrs. B. A. Tyler, from their farm out in the famous “Hungry Valley.” It consists of nineteen kinds of garden grown truck and when seen every one is tempted to ask “who said go hungry in old Whitfield?” Aonther notable display is that of Vernon and Fincher from their stock farm, which consists of a “farm on wheels,” and consists of four Jer seys, one Durham, two sheep, two pigs, two goats, chickens, ducks, wheat, oats, corn, sorghum, eaffa corn, broom corn, herds grass, timo thy, cotton, pumpkins, peanuts and peanut hay and tomato vines fourteen feet high with tomatoes on them. Everything shown by Vernon and Fin cher shows that the diversification of farming will pay far more than any one crop such as cotton, corn or wheat. The Midway is alive today and the barkers, ballyhoos and spielers are there with the goods. The Dalton cornet band is furnishing its quota to the gayiety and the abominable whistle of the merry-go-round makes life unbearable with its continuous and entirely unnecessary whistling to the dscomfiture of all who go there and it is said it will be toned down to common decency. A cigar stand that wil? not sell a combination of alfalfa and cabbage leaves would pay there as it is about the only thing lacking. The woman's building is complete and is a beauty. Ben Holmes’ wild west is worth the money and so is the show of John Shope. The vaudeville of Fann and White is said to be good. Phil Hay wards’ motion picture show speaks for itself. Do not fail from now on to go and see what a fine fair Dalton and Whitfield county can get up. The Macon Telegraph says that the police are prepared to handle the fair creardfL T is is respectfully refer ed to the Chattanooga Manufactur ers’ Association which will go down there next Tuesday on a special train.
