CHILDREN’S DAY IN DALTON
Young Buffalo’s Coming Will Be Big
Event for Youngsters.
Saturday, October 28th will be chil
dren s day in Dalton, when every hoy
and girl on the circus grounds will
ibe given a treat that will linger in
| their minds. For one day at lease
'they will be real cow nays and cow
girls, for. as the guests of Vernon C.
Seaver, Jr., the youngest cowboy ,’n
the world, they will be given a free
ride on the back of a genuine Imli m
pony ami will be lectured to bv com
petent instructors, who wilt explain
j the wonderful development of the
west.
The lit tle host-to-be i- tlie* son of
I I o’omd Vernon C. Seaver, general
I manager of the Young Buffalo WiFi
I West Show which will be here for two
[performances, afternoon- and night,
jlt is in the afternoon that the little
■ones are invited to be guests of the
l manager s son, and immediately afrer
the matinee he will receive them. No
child will be missed, but every one
that presents him or herself will be
given a ride.
While an educational treat for the
children as well as the grownups, the
5 oung Buffffalo show provides more
entertainment and surprises than any
: other circus or Wild West show *n
the world. Tt has with it such cele
brities as Annie Oakley, the peerless
woman, wing and rifle shot; Curtis
Liston, champion riflist of America;
Ambrose Means, the only man in the
world who ever lassoed a full grown
I lion, and hundreds of other prominent
performers.
The big wild west will arrive in this
city on its own special train of 34
i cars. It has 700 names on its payroll
and comes here after a spectacular
■ trip of success.
At times there are one hundred per-
I formers in the arena, the entire ex
hibition being staged with a disre
gard of expense which has never be
fore been equaled. A big street
parade will be given at 10:00 o'clock
in the morning of the exhibition, at
which time the entire aggragation will
be seen decked out -in their holiday
attire.
“Yes.” said Farmer Corntossel, “I
read eve-y one of those speeches you
printed in the Record.”
“Did they benefit you?”
“Yes sii. I won the. two dollars
Zeb Perkin bet that it couldn’t be
done.'' —Washington Star.
John I. Tibbs is authority for a
story which is going the rounds
among the “Hungry Valley” farmers
which if true, is a good one and any
how is worth printing.
John says several of the close
friends of B. A. Tyler noticed quite
frequently during the fair last, week
that Mr. Tyler was often seen jug
gling, sub-rosa, with the proprietor of
the merry-go-round and they were at
a loss to understand his queer actions.
One of them suggested that Tyler was
interested in the proceeds of the ma
chine. All of them had one theory
or another but none were able to fer
ret out the strange visitations of Tyl
er so often to the merry-go-round.
John Tibbs could stand the strain no
longer so on Saturday night as things
were being brought to a close he
sneaked around to the machine and
there made the discovery which serves
to point a moral as well as to adorn
this tale.
Nearly everybody knows that Tyler
bought the prize winning thorough
bred which Sam Carter brought over
from his Murray county stables. Tyler
in anticipation of breaking some trot
ting records of “J. I- C.’’ “Dexter
and “AFaud S.” bad devolved a
scheme by which to exercise his new
purchase “unbeknowenst to his
' “Hungry Valley” neighbors in that
' he caught two lightning bugs and for
t a whole week had been training them
i to ride on the merry-go-round so that
when he got to exercising his new
i mount down the valley at nights these
I bugs could be perched, one each, on
i (he second and minute hands of bis
stop watch and could thus by night,
I the darkest of which sometimes hover
over the valley, tell exactly how fast
ibis thoroughbrd was going.

THE DALTON ARGUS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1911.
ONLY 5 CENTS NOW.
Picture Show Again Turned Over to
White People.
A reduction to five cents in the price
of admission to the picture show is
announced by Phil Hayward. Thanks
to the most liberal support given by
, the public at Dalton, it has been found
possible to do this, and Mr. Hayward
says that he believes the attendance
will more than double itself, so that !
1 the picture show will be a better pay- |
ing investment than ever before.
Last week the place was given over
to the colored people, inasmuch r.s the i
white citizens were patronizing the
show at the fair grounds. From to
night on. however, only white patrons
will be admitted.
That popular diversion, handing out
a $5 bill to someone in the audience,
will be resumed again, taking place
every Monday night at 8:30, begin- i
ning next week. Patrons of the show
tare requested to save the numbered
| ends of their tickets for the selection
on Monday nights.
The vaudeville house will probably
open next week, depending on how
soon power can be secured for light
ing. i
COL. SAM P. MADDOX
Offers Prize for the Next Big Singir.g
Convention.
Colonel Sam P. Maddox, like a
great many others is in favor of old
time church music and congregational
singing.
He was interested in the big sing
ing contest which took place over at
the fair grounds last week and to the
end of encouraging this good old
fashioned music, offers five dollars in
gold to the class who sings best the
Easter Anthem to be found in the old
Christian Harmony at the county fair
in 1912. This is a splendid offer and
no doubt the classes will be pleased to
sing the song. .
Announcement.
The Baptist Convention of the
State of Georgia will meet in nine
tieth annual session with the First
Baptist church, of Rome, on Tues
day. November 21. 10 o’clock a. m.

Gen. Horatio C. King, secretary of
the Society of the Army of the Po
tomac, was narrating at a dinner his
memories of the civil war.
“We suffered many hardships on
both sides,” said Gen. King: “but
the poor brave Confederates suffered
most.
“I remember a grizzled old colored
man who; at the outbreak of the Span
ish war, applied for a place as an
i army cook.
“What experience have you had?’
the old fellow was asked.
“ ‘I was cook, suh, fer a Confede
rate regiment in sixty-fo’,’ he ans
wered. ‘Dat is, suh, I belt the posi
tion of cook, but. to tell de trufe, I
didn’t work at it.’
“ ‘Why not?’
“‘Dey wa’n’t nothin’ ter cook, suh.’
Honorable Barry Wright, of Rome,
spoke at the court house at noon to
day in the interest of the candidacy
of Hon. Pope Brown for governor.
Mr. Wright - was introduced by
Frank T. Reynolds, of The Argus. Mr.
Wright is a brilliant orator and in
terested and entertained his hearers
quite a good deal. It was regrettable
that those who had his “date” in
charge did not give it out to the press
so that a much larger crowd could
have come out. As it was there was
I
quite a crowd of men present and
those who heard him say they were
thoroughly interested. Mr. Wright
made friends here for his candidate.
Tie came nr grom Rome this raorn
i ing and will go back this evening and
it is hoped the next time he comes
that The Argus will be notified in time
to hearald his coming.

DOPELESS MV
THE RECENT ORDER OF JUDGE
FITE OBSERVED IN DALTON
YESTERDAY—NOT MANY COM
PLIMENTS PAID HIS HONOR
DURING THE DAY.
Sunday was a “dopeless'' day in
i Dalton.
The recent order of Judge Fite re
garding he selling of other than food
and drugs on Sunday was strictly
observed by the restaurants and
drug stores and those accustomed to
buy an innocent cigar or a coca cola,
perhaps an ice cream, had to go with
out.
One fellow timidlv and as if he was
!a sneak, sidled up to Watt Bryant
and asked as meekly as possible if he
would he permitted to buy a Sunday
paper. When told he could be breath
ed a great sigh of relief. There were
not many complimentary things heard
said about Judge Fite in Dalton Sun
day and many of those who had to do
without these little things yesterday
are, hearty subscribers to the para
graph written by Saint Paul to some
of his church brethren years ago,
that there were “many things expe
dient which are not lawful.” Paul
was not only a great writer and
preacher but a first class lawyer, and
undoubtedly would and could have
been elected judge in the circuit com
posed of the Ephesians, Collossians
and Remans.
