DALTON FAMILY
HAS BIG REUNION

htlu last W tANttuaN anu AhNirNeh
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. 4. II.
Wells, was decidedly slecess. 1t
would be an endless task 10 60 IN
to all the details which went TO
make up the successful occasion.
One could not in a limited space
begin 10 enter in to specific de-
scription Of how innumerable fowls
while yet IN the springtime Of
ohlckenhood were ruthlessly slam
IN order that they might grace the
festive board of the reunion. Nor
could one take time TO tell Of the
cattle and sheep and shoats that
came to a premature death for the
same reason. Nor could one tell
of the pies and cakes and fruits,
pickles, etc, that we're important
factors in the celebration. But
there are some events and persons
that deserve special mention and
without which tins report would be
incomplete.
We think we voice the sentiment
Of all present when we give Mr..
and Mrs. T. II. Wells first place IN
our report, for it was largely
through their untiring efforts and
hospitality that the reunion was
made so enjoyable. Their home
was thrown open TO everybody and
their services were always avail
able.
+. Dalton distinguished himself
a. master mechanic when he re-
placed with hickory tree the
wheel Of a wagon upon which he
was having some fruit aud ice
hauled out from Pocahontas. The
language he used when the wheel
broke could be reported only IN
heiroglyphics. w
One Of the most important events
was the spelling match. James l.
Dalton Of Poplar Bluff, Mo- pres
ided, using Webster's Old Blue
Back to pronounce from. At the
beginning Of the match it looked
as if +. Dalton was going to take
first place, but he became so en-
barrassed at having to wear the
Ounce cap for mis-divislon OF
syllables that he got wool.gathered
and suffered an inglorIous defeat.
The first prize went TO Uncle Tom
Mock of Warm Springs with Mrs.
K. Dalton as a close second.
James L. Dalton gave a striking
demonstration of the resiliency of
youth when he led all the old
games some of which were: "I'll
Measure Ny Love 10 show You,
"Farmer in the DELI" "Lets Go
Down to Rouser's", and "London
Bridge"
Mrs. Dora REYNOLDS took us
back to the days of long ago when
she sang "Sweet Prospects, Sweet
Birds, and Sweet Flowers"
The oldest and livest man presnt
was Uncle Lewis Dalton of near
Dalton.
Amid all the JOY and hiIar,ty of
the occasion the God of the Daltons
and of everybody else was not for
gotten. Church services were con.
ducted by Rev, Seaton, and the
Creator was thanked for having
made possible such glorious home
coming.
And now for fear of exhausting
the printers supply Of ink we must
close this report. Doubtless we
have left out some important even Is
for their names was legion, and we
are sure that we have failed to men
ton many who deserve praise for
working for the success of the re-
unton.
Let MS in conclusion say that the
event was one which will long be
cherished in the hearts Of us all rs
one Of the bright spots Of our lives.

ORDINANCE FOR
REMEMBERING
STREETS READY.
Mason to Present Measure TO the
Council Monday-Urges the
"Centenary System"

The City Council viii recognize the
agitation for systematic street mum
bering plan Monday when Councilman
Mason VII introduce an ordinance re-
curing the Construction Department
TO have every house and store in the
city remembered in consecutive or
der.
Councilman Mason said that In view
of the many details to be considered,
he would ask that the ordinance be
referred to the Streets Committee,
but that he expected TO have II re-
ported back and passed by the Coun-
ell at an early date.
Most Of the city officials have
agreed that the centenary plan, start
ing each block with a new hundred,
Is the best system possible. Chief of
Construction Clayton has data on the
plan prepared several years ago, and
II will be submitted for a study by
the Streets Committee.
"HousehoIders' Petition Out.
w J. Govan. proprietor Of q cigar
store at Alabama and South Pryor
streets. is circulating the Household
ers' Petition among his customers,
He has attached q long slip OF paper
to the petition as printed In The Geor-
gian. with room enough for about 100
signatures. and is asking every house
holder who comes into his store to
sign It. Other storekeepers will do
the same.
Since the overwhelming proof of
the desire of the citizens of Atlanta
for a new street numbering system
evidenced by the receipt of numbers
Of The Georgian's coupons expressing
Willingness to pay the cost of num-
bers II the Council only will provide a
way to tell them the correct numbers,
city officials agree that the improve
ment must be made at once.
Postmaster Boiling Fl. Jones will go
before the Streets Committee to ex-
plain how badly a systematic plan is
needed for the good of the mail serv-
ice.
Neglected for Years.
Chairman G. n. Kelley, of the
streets Committee, is expected to call
the meeting to consider the matter
Friday afternoon. Besides Mr. Jones,
many other citizens and officials have
signified their intention of urging the
adoption of the centenary plan.
Mr.. Mason said Saturday:
BADLY as the city is in need of
money. the Councilmen favor an inn
mediate improvement in our street
numbering system. It is a matter
that has been neglected for years, and
the rapid growth Of the city has made
1t acute, especially in the outlying
sections that recently were annexed.
81 have decided to offer an ordi-
nance Monday providing for the sys-
tenn. 1t will put the matter squarely
up to tho Council, and | believe the
Council viii respond in the interest
of the citizens"
