(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 20.)
An unfortunate shooting took plaee
Sunday night about six o’clock where
in young George (“Dig”) Glenn was
painfully if not fatally injured by a
pistol shot.
From the best evidence obtainable
young Glenn, with some companions,
—old couple and the police were call
old couple, and the pallce were call
ed upon to put a stop to it and arrest
them if they were so engaged.
Patrolmen Harden and Llewallen
went to the place where the boys
were said to be congregated and up
on approaching them, claim to have
heard one of them exclaim: “there’s
the ; let’s get them.”
Llewallen, to an Argus reporter,
shortly after the affair, stated that
Patrolman Harden was in advance of
him and discharged his gun up in the
air and that he, Llewallen, did like
wise. About this time, according to
Llewallen, a shot was fired from a gun
in the hands of one of the boys and
he things that the bullet which
struck young Glenn came from that
pistol.
The wounded boy was taken to the
office of Dr. J. Glenn McAfee and the
bullet probed for and fbund. The
bullet entered the back. Chief Fin
cher has the missle for identification.
It is said that it fitted one of the
pitsols of the officers. Shortly af
ter the injured boy was taken home
Patrolman Llewallen decided to sur
render and therefore went to jail last
night.
The trial of the boys for disorderly
conduct was held before Judge An- I
drew Longley this morning and they
were fined for it. 1
Young Glenn is resting as easy now
as is possible under the circumstances.
It is hoped he will recover and that
rapidly. Llewallen is staying in jail
to await the outcome of the wound
and to have it legally determined as
to who actually fired the shot that
hit the boy.
Succeeded Sam Britton.
Van Llewallen, the patrolman who
surrendered himself until it can be
determined who fired the shot that
struck young George Glenn last night,
was elected a supernumerary by the
city council recently and owing to the
Kact of Sam Britton’s having re
signed, wa« filling his place on the
police force.
(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 21.) i
The funeral of Young George Glenn
will take place tomorrow, Wednesday,
afternoon at two o’clock from his
late home in North Dalton.
The young man died this morning
from the gunshot wound which he re
ceived Sunday night and which wound
it has not yet been determined who
inflicted it. The death is a peculiarly
sad one. The friends of his family
deeply sympathize with them.
Reverends James M. Cash and N. A.
Parsons will officiate at the services
tomorrow. The pallbearers will be
W. M. Sapp, Malcolm C. Tarver,
Charles A. Connelly, T. U. Bates, Dr.
E. M. Jackson and Tom Chaffin.
The interment will be at the Glenn
lot in West Hill. Many of the dead
young man’s companions will be sad
dened at the event and they will miss
him from their circle, every one of
whom was a strong personal friend.
(From The Daily Argus, Nov. 21.)
Fifty-seven of the leading young
business men of the city will become,
“The Best People on Earth” in a
few weeks.
A large number of them met last
night at the chamber of commerce and
made application to Colonel Walter
P. Andrews, District Deputy Grand
Exalted Ruler, in Atlanta, for a char
ter.
In order to perfect the organization
Frank T. Reynolds was elected tem
porary chairman, R. H. Lovejoy tem
porary treasurer. Speeches were made
by Messrs. Lovejoy, T. D. Ridley and
Reynolds.
Mr. Lovejoy left for Atlanta this
morning to arrange for the charter.

Whitfield county will be well rep
resented at the big corn show to be
held at the Auditorium-Armory in
Atlanta December sth to Sth.
While the show is not restricted to
Corn Club boys, but is open to the
farmers generally of Georgia and
the two Carolinas, it is a fact that
most of the prizes are offered to the
members of the Boys Corn Clubs and
it is a certain fact that the boys from
the three states named will be there
to see the thing well done. On Wed
nesday, Dec. 6th, the grand parade of
corn club boys will be held and there
will be more than a thousand boys in
the procession.
In all of Georgia there is not a
more wide-awake club than the one
we have in Whitfield county. Our
boys have already sent twenty-seven
ten-ear exhibits of corn to the Atlan
ta show and it is hoped that each one
of the exhibitors will be present to
take part in the big parade. ■
The show is under the auspices of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
which has arranged for the free en
tertainment of the boys while in At
lanta and for the railroads to give
low rates for the occasion. Railroad
fare is the only expense the boys will
have to bear and this is the oppor
tunity of a life time for them to make
a visit to Atlanta.
The corn club -work in the South,
and especially in Georgia, has reach
ed mammoth proportions and the bus
iness men generally are striving to
encourage this important movement.
Perhaps no one has been so cordially
invited to attend the Atlanta show,
nor has had so much promised in the
way of free entertainment as the
corn club boys. It is a certain fact
that the Whitfield county boys are go
ing to accept the invitation and that
they will be right there to get what is
coming to them in the way of honor
and a good time.
The Whitfield boys will leave Dalton
on Wednesday morning, December 6,
accompanied by C. L. Foster and J. C.
Sapp, and will reach Atlanta in time
to take part in the big parade.
The great white way, which is now
being erected, will have two lights to
each pole from Cuyler street north to
the Cherokee Manufacturing compa
ny.
From Cuyler street south to Morris
street the poles will have only one
light unless the property holders on
that block will raise two dollars and
1 ty cents for each pole which will
be put up on that block.
If the property owners desire to
have the two light poles they will
please raise the funds and as soon as
possible notify Mr. B. A. Tyler at the
Dalton Buggy company. It is in
deed hoped that these citizens will
see the great benefit of uniform lights
and raise the funds. It enhances the
value of the property many times
more than the lights cost.
Let the matter be taken up at once.
The workmen will be ready to get
down on that block the last of this
week or the first of next. There
should be no delay.
DALTON POULTRY SHOW.
The Third Annual Event Takes
Place Now in a Short Time.
The Dalton Poultry Association will
give its third annual show beginning
on November 28th, ad lasting four
days.
Secretary Frank Weatherly to an
Argus man stated that the prospects
for a big sho wthis year were never
better. He is daily receiving inquir
ies about the show and letters and
personal conference with many who
are going to have some classy birds
here. Many of them have never been
to the Dalton show but it has grown
so important that a great many
breeders will be here beside many
who are in the market for breeding
cocks and hens.
Painted it Red.
4
The entire big front of the North
Georgia Warehouse has been treated
to a coat of red paint and it adds
much to the appearance of the street
down that way.
That end of town is “sprucing
up” quite a bit anyhow these days.
Nothing so adds to the general ap
pearance of anything so much as paint
—except of course the ladies—even
that matter is a subject of dispute.
THE DALTON ARGUS, DALTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1911.
MR. M. V. RICHARDS.
Sends His Congratulations and Hopes
To Be in Dalton Soon.
Mr. F. T. Reynolds,
Secretary Chamber of Commerce,

The customer had waited fifteen
minutes for the fish he had ordered.
He was very quiet as he sat there,
but internally there was a seething,
says the St. Louis Republic.
At the end of the sixteenth min
ute the waiter, who had been in total
, eclipse for fifteen minutes and a
half, bustled up.
“That fish will be here sir in five
minutes. ’ ’
Five minutes elapsed three times.
Then the waiter bustled up again.
“The fish will be here sir, in a
minute. ’ ’
The customer turned to him.
“Tell me,” he sad quietly, but with
a certain emphasis, “what bait you are
using. ’ ’
The Whitfield County Democratic
Executive committee met this morning
at the court house in obedience to the
call of Chairman S. B. Felker and
Secretary T. S. McCamy.
Fourteen of the members were pre
sent and they decided to hold the
primary for the gubernatorial elec
tion in every precinct on December
7th. The tickets will be printed by
the state and furnished. There will
be no funds to defray the holding of
this election and volunteers will be
called for and it is thought that they
will not be wanting when the day
comes.
A Boy’s Point of View.
Dawg gone! This sho’s is a tough ole
worl’
For a boy ’long about my age,
But it don’t do a bit ov good to fuss
An’ paw up the groun’ an’ rage;
If they don’t mind I’m gonna git
On the train an’ leave some day,
But the trouble is I can’t quite save
’Nuff nickels to .pay my way.
From Monday morn till Friday eve
It’s the same blame grind at school,
A lickin’ one day an’ the nex’
A talk on the golden rule;
The teacher makes me study stuff
That ain’t no use a-tall
An’ I might as well be kickin’ holes
In the blamed ole school-house wall.
In the evenings’ when I hurry home.
An’ think I’ll have some fun,
Ma has fo’teen errands that
She’s saved fer me to run;
A
An’ then I have to split some wood,
An’ maybe chop some grass,
An’ when the boys come by they stop
An’ pelt me with their sass.
On Saturdays I never have
No more than half the day;
I have to work two hours for
Each one I haf’ to play;
Then Sunday school on Sunday morns
An’ church forenoons an’ nights—
Dawg gone it all, a boy like me,
He jes’ ain’t got no rights.
But some day I’ll put on long pants,
An’ then I’ll leave this town,
An’ go way off an’ make myself
A man uv great renown;
And then I'll come back home again
As rich as I can be,
An’ all the boys that haf’ to slave
Like I do, I’ll set free!
