Bad Characters no Longer Seen-Savan-
nahians SummerinE in Whitfield.
DALTON, GA, Aug. 23.-Since the visit
Oh the Regulators, on Aug. 10, our streets
have been free from Ioafers and idlers,
and no more burglaries have been COM
mitted. Everything has settled down
quietly, those who were notified to leave
have done so, and no further trouble is
anticipated.
The strange disease in the eastern part
OF the county, which was prevailing with
fatal results, as reported by DIR. Bivings
some weeks ago, is now reported to have
entirely disappeared, and the health of
the county is good. Our city is extremely
healthy.
Dalton is fast making a reputation as a
summer resort. Our hotels are crowded
with visitors. Quite number OF Savan-
nahtans are spending the summer here.
Mrs. Joseph Il. Dasher and family,
OF Savannah, are with her brother,
c. II. Snow, at Oak Grove, one mile
from the city. Crops in the county are
the best for years. Every indication
points to the fact that Whitfield will not
have her corn cribs and smoke houses in
the West another year.-At the opera
house last night the Dalton amateurs
rendered the intensely interesting play
above the Clouds" TO packed house.
Messrs. Horne, Babcock, Mckinney,
Macauley, LOveman, Carpenter, and
Holtzclaw were perfectly at home, and
rendered their parts faultlessly. Mrs.
Babcock, Misses WOtteu, Cappes and
Holtzclaw were perfection. Dalton is
proud of her dramatic talent. The pro-
ceeds of the entertainment 60 to charit-
able purposes.
