The Late Col. W. B. Farrar.
The mother's Club held an enthui
astic meeting last week. Much inter
est is being taken in these meetings
and it is hoped that mothers having
children in school will attend. We
think the mothers owe this much to
their children and to the teachers,
even though they can take an active
part in the meetings.
We are looking forward to the
Thanksgiving holidays and wish to
thank the school board for giving us
two days. On account of this the
Trammell Club will meet this after
noon. An interesting Thanksgivng
program has been arranged
Today the puplis of the City Park
school brought a Thanksgiving offer
in to the school for the poor of our
city. This has been a custom in our
school for many years.

MR. H. J. HERRON DIED LAST
NIGHT AT TEN O’CLOCK
A WELL KNOWN CITIZEN PASSED AWAY
FUNERAL SERVICES AT THE HOME ON THORNTON AVENUE
FRIDAY MORNING AT TEN T HIRTY—WHO THE DECEASED
WAS—PROMINENT IN DALT ON FOR A LONG PERIOD—END
CAME QUIETLY.
Mr. H. J. Herron died at his home
no. 58 Thornton Avenue last night
about ten.
His passing away was as quietly as
if he had fallen asleep.
He has been ill most of the year,
but about three weeks ago took to
his bed from which he never rallied
The cause of his death was due to
an abscess, the result of a spell of
pneumonia contracted early in the
year.
Mr Herron, with his father and
family came to Dalton a little more
than thirty years ago, from Newton,
lowa, and up to January of this year
was a merchant all of his business
life.
Had he lived until Christmas day
COME SOUTH YOUNG MAN, COME
SOUTH.
Young man, do you know that not
over 25 per cent of land in the south
is under cultivation? Do you know
that there arc over GOO,OOO acres of
land in the south, practically all of
which can be cultivated, and of this
amount only about 150,000,000 are
cultivaf ed 1 There is room for agri
cultural development here isn’t there?
Just think what it will be when we
are cultivating even half of the land
in the South.
And do you know’, young man, that
you can buy good farm lands inthe
South today at from one-fourth to one
tenth the price you must pay for no
better lands in other parts of the
country? Think of it an acre of land
producing in one year as much as it
sells for. Think of what it will be
when the farm land of the South be
gin to sell at even half of their real
value. There is opportunity for pro
fitable investment here, is there not?
Young man, you can shut your eyes
and buy Southern farm lands at pres
ent prices and get rich —just holding
them.
Young man, do you know that of
the 27,000 miles of navigable rivers
in this country, 23,000 miles are in the
South? Think of wdiat that means
in the manner of cheap transportion.
Do you know that streams in the
South can furnish over 10,000,000
electric horse power; more than en
ough to run all the factories in the
vhole of the United States for years to
come? Think what even a fraction
of power development must mean for
the South in an industrial w’ay.
Young man, do you know that the
South of today has over 76,000 miles
of railroads twenty-five times as
much milleage as it had fifty years
ago—that it has over $300,000,000 in
vested in cotton mills alone, and tthat
its taxable values are increasing at
the rate of over $2,000,000 a day?
Yooung man, wake up and look a
bout you. A practically undeveloped
empire lies before you. Your oppor
tunity is here. Reach out and grasp
it.
