(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 18.)
Elsew here in this issue of The Argus
will be seen an invitation to all who
have been doing more or less trading
out of Dalton to give the local cham
zber of commerce reason for so doing.
The Argus knows and all know that
the merchants of Dalton have not in-
vested money in big stocks of goods
for fun nor for the pleasure of pay
ing rents, taxes and employing clerks.
That quite a number of Daltonians
have been buying in other cities is a
fact and The Argus wants to help
keep all the trade here that is pos
sible. There is no question hut the
merchants of D alton would like to sell
every bill that is bought and would be
glad to remedy the trouble if they
only knew wherein the trouble lay,
would be ready to be there with the
goods. The method now proposed is
merely to get at the facts in the case.
The Dalton merchants are no excep
tion to the rule. Every town the
size of Dalton experiences the same
complaint but the secretary of the
local chamber of commerce is anxious
to do everything that will help keep
all the trade here that is now and
has been for years going away. He
is anxious to build up the trade of
Dalton and feels sure that if the peo
ple of Dalton will say or write him
why they go out of town to buy even
the smallest article, and there is any
local or logical reason for it the local
merchants will remedy it at once. The
larger city commercial organizations
are endeavoring to create a senti
ment for buying more at home. Dal
ton merchants want to supply every
demand and meet every competition,
that's what they are in business for.
The card will be run in the Argus for
some time in order to give all a
chance to help build up Dalton and
her institutions. If you are a buyer
away from Dalton and want to sign
the card and send it in.
Atlanta, Nov. 17—Rev. W. A. Fer
rel], Gaffney, S. C., minister, was pos
itively identified through a photograph
as the preacher who tried to woo an
Atlanta girl through the want ad col
umns of a local newspaper and who
was tried before Judge Broyles, of the
local city court on complaint of the
girl in the case. The identification
was made by Judge Broyles as well as
by policemen who had seen the mat
rimonial inclined parson at the time
of his arraignment.
Another feature to the tangle has
been the receipt of a letter stating
that Rev. W. A. Ferrell already is
married.
Shortly after the publication of the
court proceedings in the want-ad woo
ing minister’s case an indignant man
called on Judge Broyles and, giving
his name as Rev. W. A. Ferrell, ve
hemently excoriated the alleged im
poster who had made the matrimonial
attempts under his name. This man
was given a letter by Judge Broyles
declaring that he was not the man who
had been arraigned for want-ad woo
ing.
The matter rested at this stage un
til the arrival of the photograph which
was identified today. The Rev. W.
A. Ferrell, when on trial, stated un
der oath that he was not married.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 17 —Rear-
Admiral John Yeatman Taylor, retir
ed, former medical director of the
United States navy and one of the
most distinguished navel surgeons in
the country, ended his life here last
night by shooting himself in the head
with a navy pistol. He was 82 years
old.
Admiral Taylor’s health had long
been poor, and the death in an auto
mobile accident at Wilmington, Del.,
two years ago of his only son, An
drew Bryson Taylor, was a severe
shock to the aged surgeon. He never
left the house afterwards, and de
spondency over this sorrow and the
hopeless condition of his health are
believed to have prompted him to take
his life.
Adiniral Taylor was born in East
Nottingham, Pa. He was with Farra
gut on the Oneida in the battle of
Mobile Bay.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Charlotte Bryson Taylor, a
magazine writer, who resides in New
York.
Many a woman has shattered her
idol by marrying it.
(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 18.)
The first general meeting of the
Dalton chamber of commerce since its
organization took place Friday night
at its naw home in the Pruden In
surance building so geerously ten
dered by Mr. Frank Pruden, the own
er.
In spite of the threatening weather,
quite a number of enthusiastic mem
bers were present and a large amount
of work started for the general good
of Dalton and Whitfield county.
The minutes of the first meeting
were read and approved. The mat
ter of sending the secretary to the
Chicago Land Show was thoroughly
discussed and the good to come from
it was entered into in detail and the
chamber decided to approve it. The
movement for a new hotel was taken
up and President Tyler will appoint a
committee today to push it forward.
The secretary was instructed to cor
respond with Major McCollum, sup
erintendent of the Western & At
lantic railway regarding the placing
of four great white lights between
Hamilton street and the passenger
station. The question of a market
house will be taken up soon. Six
new members were added to the pre
sent membership. Mr. Floyd Far
rar read a letter from the Ocoee
Power company which stated that it
expected to be able to furnish power
by the first of January next. The
subscription dinner for next Wed
nesday evening at six o’clock was
highly approved and every one pre
sent subscribed for one or more
plates. A page advertising will be
used and two thousand copies
bought to take up to the Chicago
Land Show. It would have pleased
the most enthusiastic booster im
mensely to have been present and also
hurt the feelings mightily of the
kicker if he had heard the enthusias
tic talks made about Dalton’s future.
Every Daltonian who has the least
spark of pride should be a member.
When they know that three prominent
Murray county citizens have joined
and that three Whitfield county far
mers have also come in they ought to
at once sec that their names are en
rolled. The Dalton chamber of com
merce is going to do something for
Dalton in spite of all kickers and
those who have sour and selfish dis
positions.
(From The Daily Argus. Nov. 18.)
Another evidence that the chamber
of commerce is a valuable institution
for Dalton and the surrounding coun
ty was prominently brought to the
secretary’s attention this morning by
Dave Stewart of the Dalton Buggy
company.
Mr. Stewart suggests that a rest
room for visiting women, such as
they have in Calhoun, be put up
here. The idea is a good one and the
secretary has gotten busy on the mat
ter in that he has referred it to the
Lesche club, the Daughters of the
Confederacy and the Reviewers.
Mr. Stewart suggests that some
where near the middle or the west
end of the park in the middle of
Crawford street, the rest room be
built with all the necessary conven
iences. He says that the two marble
companies have enough small, useless
and broken pieces of marble which
they will give and that a sort of mar
ble concrete room be built, supple
mented with rough stone. The latter
can be found in ample quantities
within the city limits. Mr. Stewart
believes that the cement dealers of the
city will sell enough cement at cost
to erect the house of rest. The de
tails of the plan have been given to
■ the secretary of the chamber of com
i merce and he will be pleased to re
peat them to the ladies. The idea is
a fine one and will undoubtedly be
acted upon by these ladies for they
| are known to be real live boosters
j and when the ladies take hold of any
thing they make it a surety. A
meeting of them will probably be held
at the chamber in a day or two and
the plans definitely outlined. The
I woman's rest room as proposed by Mr.
i Stewart is bound to come. Mr. B. A.
| Tyler starts the movement off with
■ a subscription of ten dollars in cash.
Who will be the next?
In argument, unlike aviation, a great
many men are not finally landed until

THE DALTON ARGUS, DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1911.
Did the Automobilist Get Mad?
“Stop!” cried the man in the road.
“You are exceeding the speed limit.
“That’s all nonsense,” retorted
Binks, according to Harper’s Meekly,
bringing his car to a standstill.
“That's what they all say,” said
the man in the road, climbing into the
car. “You can tell your story to the
magistrate at Hinktown —just seven
miles up the road. Start along, will
you!”
They drove along in silence to Hink
town, where, as the car drew up in
front of the court house, the man of
the road got out.
“Much obliged for the lift,” said
he. “You can settle that matter of
speed with the magistrate if you want
to. As a stranger in these here parts
I don’t think my word would go for
much.”
His Father Was in Right.
In one of the public schools a y< ung
woman tend er was trying to impress
upon'the pupils the lesson of patriot
ism and veneration for the achieve
ments of the fathers of the country.
She spoke of the revolution and the
great struggle of the Civil war. One
little fellow put up his hand:
“At my house,” stammered the boy
when he get permission to speak,
“we have a hat that my uncle wore
at Gettysburg.”
“That’s very nice,” said the tea
cher; “perhaps some of you other
children have some relics at home of
that great struggle.”
Another hand was raised, bashful
ly-
“Well, dear,” said the teacher.
“We have a sword that was in the
Revolution. It belongs to my pa, and
some day he says if will belong to
me.”
In the corner of the room a diminu
tive, freckled .youngster had been
waving his hand violently for five
minutes. He got permission to speak.
“We hain’t got no hats with holes
in them that was in the Civil war,”
he ventured, ‘ 1 nor we ain’t got no
swords that was in the Revolution.
But say, teacher, my dad he has a
union suit. ” —Philadelphia Times.
Again it is the pleasure of The
Argus to note that Dalton real estate
is moving upward, not only in the
scale of popularity, but in price.
Through the Puckette real estate
agency the two story building now oc
cupied by the Dalton Buggy company
was sold to Colonel W. E. Mann.
Un to the conclusion of the deal it
belonged to Messrs. J. W. Cavender
and Lee Shahan, of Chattanooga, but
is now the property of Colonel Mann.
Colonel Mann recently bought the
building next south of it and has some
fine holdings in that part of the city.
The price paid was not given out,
but it is said to have been more than
it would have brought a year ago.
That part of Hamilton street seems to
be growing in popularity.
HAPPY RESULTS
Have Made Many Dalton Residents
Enthusiastic.
No wonder scores of Dalton citizens
grow enthusiastic. It is enough to
make anyone happy to find relief after
years of suffering. Public statements
like the following are but truthful rep
resentations of the daily work-done in
Dalton by Doan’s Kidney Pills.
J. H. Bartenfield, 74 E. Morris St.,
Dalton, Ga., says: “I have been free
from kidney trouble ever since Doan’s
Kidney Pills cured me three years ago.
I publicly endorsed them at that time
and today I am glad to confirm my
former statement. After straining
myself, I began to suffer from dis
ordered kidneys and the constant jarr-.
ing I received at my work aggravated
my trouble A chronic case of lum
bago developed and I could not stoop
or exert myself without having pains
in my back. Nothing helped me until
I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Fincher
& Nichols’ drug store. The contents
of six or seven boxes restored my
kidneys to a normal condition and
since then I have enjoyed good health.
For sale by all dealers. Price 50c.

Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other.
The Phenomenal Kid.
A man with a Muttandjeff face and
watery blue eyes boarded a car the i
other morning along with a tall man i
with a wide jaw and square-toed
shoes, says the New York Times.
“Well sir,"’ said the man with the
Muttandjeff face as soon as they were
seated, “that little girl of mine is cer
tainly the greatest —”
“For my part,” interrupted the
firm—jawed man, “I think about half
the members of congress could be ar
rested for taking money under false
pretenses. They don't do a lick of
work. Just show up often enough to
draw their pay. It’s an outrage.'
The man with the comic-picture
countenance looked puzzled.
“I guess you didn’t quite under-[
stand what I said,” after a brief
pause. “I was going to tell you a fun
ny thing that little girl of mine said
this—”
“Blamed if there ain't another big
tree that was blown over in the last
storm,” remarked the strong-faced
passenger calmly.
“Er-yes,” replied the man with
the watery blue eyes. “Well, this
little girl of mine is the brightest —”
“One thing about that recent tariff
session of congress,” cut in the other
man. “that pleased me is the fact that
business kept going right ahead just
as if nothing out of the ordinary was
happening. They can muss around
with the tariff all they’re amind to
down at Washington, but people seem
to be going right ahead turning out
finished products and disposing of
them at the old stand.”
“Well, when she came down to the
breakfast table this morning , she
looke dat the buckwheat cakes on the
table and —”
“Say, now you’re talking,” said the
square-jawed man. “A lot of people
quit eating buckwheat cakes when the
warm weather comes along, but I eat
’em well into the summer. I’m crazy
about buckwheat cakes. What kind
do you have at your house —the old
fashioned buckwheat or this new-fan
gled self raising kind?”
“Why, uh-er, I don’t know what
kind my wife usually buys. Anyhow,
as soon as my little girl saw the buck
wheat cakes she—”
Pretty hard to get anything as
good as the old fashioned thing, Same
way with maple syrup. The kind they
have in the groceries may be on the
leve land all of that, but give me the
sort my uncle used to bring in to us
from his farm when I was a kid.' It'd
be as thick as crude oil with a ffiavor
that was the best ever.”
“That so,” weakly inquired the
father of the extraordinary little girl
“Well, he looked at those cakes sol-

Made a Habit Conquer a Fault.
Even an extremely aggressive ene
my can be conquered by strategy; it
is only a question of employing the
stategem fitted to the case.
An open-air preacher of East Lon- I
don understood this, and his strate
gem fitted to a charm. He was ad- i
dressing a crowd, when a soldier who
had been drinking, came up and ridi- >
culed the service. Finding it was i.se- j
less to ignore the man. the preacher
said:
“Ah! my friend, you’re no soldier.
No servant of the king would get
drunk and disturb a peaceful service.”
The man said he was a soldier and
asked the preacher to test him.
“Very well,” was the reply, “I
will. Now then. Attention!”
This the soldier did as well as his
condition would allow.
‘ ‘ About —turn! ’ ’
This order was also obeyed, though
with some trouble.
“Quick march!”
And off went the valiant soldier,
marching down the Mile End road at
a quick pace, while the preacher re
sumed his address.
She —And you say you have always
avoided blaming me. I’d like to have
you mention one instance.
He —With pleasure. I remember,
right after we were married, I ate a
pie you baked, ad when the doctor
came I told him it was clams. —Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
