(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. ” ■ r 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 they go up in the air. I 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. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

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- Just a Word to people who desire to purchase GOOD WHISKIES.

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.
