(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. f■- - ■ Proclamation.

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. (From The Daily Argus, Nov. 21.) 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. “Did anyone call when I was out Sara ? ’ ’ “Yis mum a gintlemun called.

Other speeches along the same lines were made by Messrs. Frank Manly, Tom Gilbert. J. S. Chester, Kin Hix, Dr. H. L. Erwin DALTON. GEORG I.* .

The committee urged that all agree to support some first class and well 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. I 1 (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. That Big Edition.

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 Publisher, It is foolish for men to bemoan an unmendable lovers’ quarrel.

The po lice hope in this way to get a clue- Within the past two years thirteen ne g;ro women have been butchered here, and recently the field or fiends work much oftener.
