Tlie Attalla Beacon, one of th
brightest and best weeklies in the
“Here we Res'” state, edited and
managed by that brilliant young
newspaper w< man M iss Lu<ia Mon ■
roe, comes to me this week with
the following flattering leader:

“LINES TO A BYRD.”
“To Col. Phill Glfnn Byrd, et
ale of the Hustler of Rome :
“Your esteemed publication is
comsidenibly “tardy.” ’Tis said
that “toddy” oft makes tardy, but
in your case, dear dustier, we re
unwilling to enteriain the allega
tion. Rather familiar tulk. eh?
Perhaps you’re not aware of the
fact, .m st noble jo rnal, that
while occupying that glorious p d-
Hstai of enraptrous elegance —a
pencil pusher on one of your stat- s
best week'ies,—ah I ’twas there the
writer learned to love and appre
ciate you and to regard you as one
dear old Georgia’s staunchest
id truest champions of the right’

Now, being as frank as I ana
prtal, 1 must say 1 like and ap
eciate the above, even though I
i lu’t deserve the halt of i> —for I

easily prove —if proof be necces

Mayhap cur appreciation was
enhanceu by the tact that you so
much favored the kittenish squil s
(devoid, tho they were of philo
sophical essence) that eminateo
from th- “fertile imagination” (as
some pleased to term it.) Oi this
knowing, but unknown, obscure
Kid w tins- journalistic fame was
(curse the thought!) confined
within the four walls of a boutL
Georgia printery, devotedly shar u
by a blind but instinctive feline
friend which was our office cat,but
which long since toon flight io
some blest, mysterious n alm
wheie only his catchip is permi -
ltd to so; i”

Nine of the ver.y faithful, tin

advertised as a “No Watson, no

largely attended, numerically
speaking, the nine g-iAlemen who

You know the more I think of

“blue hen” having teeth, thai
“she wore them .n her comb,” the
brighter I trunk it. Tae little

Abou six weeks ago Miss Flor
ence Dean and Mr. Dennis Adair
were in Dalton for the day. They
were also there for the purpose of
joining their lives tor life. After
the w-dding they returned to th s
county. Miss Florence to resume
her duties as governness in the
famny of ‘River’ Jo- Harris, while
Mr. Adair, with a happy heart,
persued th-even tencr ol his farm
life. But the rornanc- was too
good too ke -p nd like 6uch affaus
leaied out. Having heard the ru
mor, on yesterday, I asked Miss
Florence and she answered “y< u
may address me as Mr-. Dennis
Adair.” She blusned proudly and
passed on in her shopping expedi
tion. Congratu atio is are now in
order.

Hearing it rumored for the past
few days that Lowry Bios., drug
gists, would move their e egant
itoc<i of goods to Dalton, I sought
'tit Dr. Sam Lowry, senior mem
ber ofMie firm, yesteiday and as«-
-d him about it. “Yes,” said he,
“we are goin . to move »ir stock
to Dalton. We are having au ele
g ol n-w bricK lo me finished up
for our i usiness, and as D.Jlon is
our old home, and as the boys say
our “chi Siam p ; ng ground”— a
city of 4,0C0 people, a big couuiry
trade and only one drug store we
think the move a splendid one.”
Mr. P< pe Wooten will go to Dal
<on wnli the business and c< ntin
ie iis head clerK. Mr. Lowry tells
me he will not move nis frn.ily io
Dalton but will continue to make
tin- city his home. That is one
comfort, at least. 1 hate to see I is

/nit the b arters Rome made ci- 1
gars are great favorites and I know
that it’s a clear case of “meri l

made is but a miuo- circumstance

Ask your dealer —for Warters’
