A Handsomer and More Fascinating
Mar. Won the Affections While at a
Pleasure Resort.
(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 22)
Atlanta, Nov. 22—Atlanta has one
j- perfectly frank and truthful woman,
| according to the divorce petition filed
against Mrs. Ruth Lyle, wife of Sam
uel R. Lyle, by the husband.
He sets forth in that paper that he
was married to Miss Ruth Angier in
1907, and that the first few years of
their married life was “perfect wed
ded bliss. ’ ’
Then, unhappy time, his wife went
away to a summer resort for several
weeks. When she returned she con
fessed to her husband that she no
longer loved him, because she had met
’a handsome and fascinating man at
the resort; that they had been much
together; that he had hugged and
kissed her, and that all of her heart
now belonged to this other man —of
the summer resort.
The Lyles are both well known and
prominently connected here.

PUCCINI’S GRAND
OPERA “GIRL OF
THE GOLDEN WEST”
The distinguishing feature of Henry
W. Savage’s production of Puccini's
Grand Opera in English, “The Girl
of the Golden West, which will he of
fered at the Albert theatre in Chatta
nooga Tenn., on the night of Dec. 4th.,
is its colossal proportions. The Am
erican stage has never before seen a
production carried out upon such a
tremendous scale. It was Mr. Sav
age's desire from the start to excel,
not merely rival, the metropolitan rep
resentation of Puccini’s last and
greatest work. And he has spared
nothing in the way of expenditures
and effort in giving to the cities not
visited by the New York Metropolitan
company a production equally as el
aborate and as painstaking as the one
presented there last fall when the high
records of cash receipts for* an opera
tic production was established. Mr.
Savage has made a practical demon- I
stration that music lovers like to hear
and understand the text of an opera;
and in “The Girl of the Golden West ”
this is esecially essential. The dra
matic theme of Belasco’s drama which
Puccini has rendered into the great
est work of modern times, requires a
perfect understanding of the liberetto
to thoroughly appreciate the remark
able music. Mr. Savage and his
agents scoured all Europe for his
singers, visiting all the principal con
tinental opera houses, and the result
is that he has five complete casts to
accompany his organization. He was
equally solicitous ip the selection of
his chorus, and the seventy men who
were chosen to represent the gold min
ers are the exact types in the minds
of the dramatist and composer. The
orchestra numbers over fifty trained
musicians, all under the personal dir
ection of the great Girgo Pollasco, of
Naples and Venice, the life long
friend of the great Puccini, from who
he has caught the exact spirit of his
wonderful melodies. To transport this
extraordinary organization, an entire
special train of ten cars is required.
There are tons and tons of scenery and
a car load of horses included in the
equipment.

The old stand pipe will not leave
Dalton.
The Cicwn cotton mill came to the
rescue of that old friend of the thirs
ty.
The city council sold it to the mi l !
at its meeting last night and it was
one of the best trades that body has
made. The mill is to pay two thu
sand dollars for the big pipe and let
it stay as it is with all the water co ■
nections to the city plant, thereby
being of great service to the mill in
extraordinary occasions of need and
at the same time it may become useful
to the city in case of low water or an
extra demand should a big raging fire
break out.
The council and the mill are both to
be heartily congratulated upon the
final outcome. Its remaining as it is
will be an additional safeguard to both
the city and the Crown Cotton Mi'l.
Falls Off Trestle; Neck Broken.
Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 21 —Calvin
Tanner, of Kansas City, Mo., fell off
the Misouri Pacific trestle just out
side the city today and was killed.
He is supposed to have become con
fused in the dark. His neck was bro
ken.

which was made in The Argus at the
request of many of the best men in
the city, was largely attended.

The following resolutions were of
fered by Mr. Reynolds and were un
animously adopted:
Resolutions.
Whereas; The City of Dalton during
the past two years has added to its
public properties and public improve
ments in approximately the sums of
$200,000.00, and now has large and
valuable public utilities owned and
controlled by the city, in addition to
a system of public schools that are the
equal of any in the state, and;
Whereas The taxable valuations
of the city of Dalton are in excess of
$2,500,000.00, and a vast amount of
revenue is collected yearly by the city
from its taxpayers and used in financ
ing its varous public utilities, public
schools, an dother pubic institutions,
and,
Whereas: It is extremely necessary
at this crucial stage in the history of
the city that competent men should be
placed in charge of the affairs of the
said city, in order that its vast bus
iness should be conducted in as safe
and competent a manner as enterprises
of like magnitude in the business
world are conducted, and,
Whereas: Men to conduct the bus
iness of said city should not be
chosen by reason of personal populari
ty, but because of fitness to discharge
the duties of their offices well, there
fore, be it
Resolved: That we. the citizens of
Dalton who are on this night assem
bled in mass meeting, believing that
good and competent men will offer for
the offices of mayor and aidermen of
said city, hereby pledge our hearty
support to any man of good business
qualifications who will offer as a can
didate for Mayor, and in so far as we
come from the different wards in the
city, to support good and competent
men for aidermen from said wards,
and to endeavor to get such men to
offer.
Resolved, Further: That we call
upon all the citizens of Dalton, irre
spective of station in life, or of oc
cupation, to co-operate with us in se
curing men for those offices whom they
would entrust with the business of
the city, if said business were their
private business enterprise.
Hon. H. J. Smith took the floor and
spoke in favor of harmony and a good
level headed business man for mayor,
and withdrew his name entirely from
the race. Other speeches along the
same lines were made by Messrs.
Frank Manly, Tom Gilbert. J. S.

known man of business and
acumen, the same appearing in the res
olutions adopted. The meeting ad
journed. All felt that much good had
been accomplished by this get ing to
gether of the voters of the city and
they were there from every ward. Al!
classes of labor and business were rep
resented. Nothing was said with re
ference to candidates for aiderman.
This too was left for the people to
decide.

(From The Daily Argus. Nov. 21.)
Dave Stewart is as full of good ideas
as an egg is full of meat.
Beside warmly advocating a rest
room for visiting' women, Dave now
comes forward with the suggestion
that the big fountain that stands in
front of the' rijigs of the Hotel Dalton
and be fhpvejpmd placed in the par
kette bojteeen the Lots on which the
the opera house stood. It
coWldme seen as well from the trains
there as where it now stands. It is
very probable that a hotel will never
be built back on the former site. The
lot on which it now stands is the pro
perty of the state of Georgia and by
moving it it will be on the city land.
The idea is a good one. The fountain
was bought by public subscription,
which was gotten up by the efforts of
Judge S. B. Felker. The Argus feels
shure that the move will meet the ap
proval of every one in Dalton. With
the fountain on this spot, the Joseph
E. Johnston monument on the one just
west across Hamilton street and the
rest room at the other end will make
the section around there a sort of local
Champs Elysee.

EDITOR BLISS AND A BOOZE AD
Gives Two Reason Why He Published
It in His Paper.
Editor Bliss, of the Hillsboro, (Ill).
News, recently was called to the task
because he inserted an advertisement
for a “booze” palace in that city. Ed.
Bliss in the next issue of hi spaper, an
swers the critics in the following
style:
He says he confesses to the act, but
assigns two reasons there for: First
because he needed the money, and he
got fifteen cents an inch for it. Sec
ond. he desired to ascertain whether
his esteemed brothers and sisters read
his paper. Both his curiosity and cup
idity have been satisfied. He had
talked the evils of ntemperance, de
voted much space to the religious and
temperance organizations, given the
preachers complimentary notices, but
no intimation had ever been given that
his efforts were appreciated or ever
read. Now he knows that they are
and concludes that while all classes of
I business men are permitted without
critiscism to do business with a saloon
keeper, the country editor isn’t; he
must be “holy” undefiled, separate
from sinners and keep himself un
spotted from the world.—Editor and
