' | AV LEADING PAPER OF NORTH GEORGIA. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN WHITFIELD COUNTY. RED OLAY . Whnt Is CJoDigon * n That Lively Little Precinet. Rep Clay, January 12—Owing to the extreme cold, the denizens of our town are housed, and very little passing about indulged in. Very few in from the country, though Doctor Brown put in an appearance yesterday in spite of the weather. The beautiful snow is falling in grace ful flakes, and our farmers say that it is a good indication for a large yield of wheat. Jesse Thatcher, representing the Thatcher Medicine Company of Chatta nooga, took in the town today. He is highly encouraged at the outlook. It is rumored that Geo. D. Hanna, the courteous and efficient agent of the East Tennessee road, will remove to Rome in order to accept a more lucrative and re sponsible position. Our community will be sorry to lose biin, and Rome will have more brains and energy by his accession than is usually acquired in one man being added to her population. Mrs. Donie Richardson is quite ill. Serious fears are entertained about her recovery. With this exception the health of the community is good. The Election Returns. The full election returns for Whit field county will be found on another page. They would have appeared last week but for the fact that moving into new quarters prevented it. Nothing is “too tedious” for The Argus to do, when it gives the people the news. It intends to give all the news and the full news. A Card, Dalton, Ga., Jan. 11, 1893. Editor Argus: .We wish to thank through your paper the citizens of Dalton and surrounding country for their kind patronage since our opening up here. Our coming here was accompanied with a three-fold object. First, to get to a healthful place. Second, to get a good school for our children. Third, to make a living while thus situated. The few mouths we have been here iias-klcmou striit' d to °ur satisfaction that we have found what wo \yere hunting for.

His past work speaks for itself. If you should be so unfortunate as to need an undertaker, he will serve you in the most gentlemanly and artistic style.

True Story of Jacob Goode Ou s Difficulty Last Week. DID IT IN SELF-DEFENSE Is lhe Way It Looks in Print—Wesley Short Called Him to One ■tde—Two Versions. The Walker County Messenger of LaFayette, Ga., says in its issue of Thursday, January 12th : “Wednesday of last week there was a fight in East Armuchee between Bill Short and Doc Kinsey, in which the latter was badly beaten up. A' the time Wes, the father of Bill, said some hard things of the Goodsons. Saturday there was a good crowd out at the precinct. Between 3 and 4 p. m. Jacob Goodson was standing near Cavender’s store, when Wesley Short called him to one side. As to what followed, there are two state ments. One is that Mr. Short was not shot until he had turned to leave. The other is that the conversation ended by Short drawing his knife, raising it and saying with an oath that he was going to cut Goodson’s throat. Goodson was prepared for him and commenced shooting. He emptied his revolver rapidly, 3 of the 5 shots taking effect. One struck the bone back of the right ear and ranged round. Two hit the right arm, one near and the other above the elbow. The last entered the arm, ranging along it ami penetrated the body just 1 below the shoulder.” I “The shooting led to intense excite ment in the large crowd. Bailiff 1 Waie immediately arrested Mr. Good ) son.and deputized Mr. Marshal to take [ charge of him. As Air. Goodson } thought the excitement would contin ue as long ;s he remained, he and the deputy walked off. , “Some 01 his friends followed him, > among them his brother Jesse. Be- >w3en Jessehi- 'if l ''' 1 r feeling. After those following/ Air. Goodson had gotten off some distance, ■ Charley was deputitfzed to arrest Jesse : in an excited manner he ran I after him. Jesse stopped and as he came up fired at him twice without - effect. One ball passed through his clothes. Air. Phillips returned to the • store. “Wesley Short, the wounded man, after keeping his feet about 15 min utes, turned sick and was given a bed . in the store. Mr. Cavender then had ■ his hack brought out, and making , him as comfortable as possible sent him home. Opinion is divided as to ' his chances for recovery. Some sol diers think he may pull through, while most say lhe chances are against him. “Bond was promptly given by by the two brothers, that of Jacob Goodson heiog fixed by ’Squire M. G. Clement at $2,000.” Air. Jacob Goodson is a son-in-law of Mr. Tom J. Peeples, the clever agent of the Western & Atlantic rail road *in Dalton. Mr. Goodson is is well known in Dalton, and bears a good reputation wherever known, and he has many friends here who hope he may come out of his trouble right side up. Fresh pork and fresh pork sausage to day. Good weather for eating pork and oork sausage, and there is little of it on the market John A. Shope, South Hamilton Street Butcher. He Paid His License. A traveling jihotographer struck the towna few daysagoand wentaround town doing a regular log rolling-business with out taxing out .1 license, and Judge Nor- 1 ton promptly ovi rhauled him and he paid his license and in addition, $2.50 costs in Squire Longley’s court. Judge Norton very properly took the ground that local men who pay taxes ifiust be protected from strolling artists of every description.

Shelton opened his select school for boys and young men at the Baptist parsonage Monday last, i.nd the opening was a success. He organized as many classes as he could handle, and had to refuse some young men because they would necessitate his forming more classes than he could successfully han dle. He still has room for several young men in the classes organized. Air. Shelton has received a letter from Atlanta from a shorthand and book-keep ing teacher (who saw Air. Shelton’s card in The Argus) proposing to come to Dalton and go in with Air. Shelton and teach the young men so desiring those branches. Air. Shelton as yet has made no decision in the matter. As soon as he can secure convenient quarters, Air. Shelton will remove his school into more roomy quarters. For the present he will continue to teach in the parsonage. Climbing Up.

The Busy Bees are requested to he in ; full attendance at the home of Miss Sal -1 lie Clemmons on next Friday afternoon. • Matters of interest will be discussed. 1 The Argus is under obligations to Prof. Henry Schoeller, of the Dalton Fe male College, for a copy of the song > “Daisy Dare,” one of his own inimitable compositions. That clever and reliable official. Clerk r Digory Bholl, was re-elected on the 4th inst., by the lar; est vote ever polled in ’ Whitfield county,a vote of 1945 souls. A J just tribute to a worthy official. R. B. England, of Resaca, stepped in yesterday to take The Argus and bring ’ in the’news of a big club in that town. ‘ Mr. England is going to get some of The s Argus premiums and no mistake. “The East Tennessee Bell,” the East Tennessee’s new journal, has a hand some picture of the Hotel Dalton in its last issue—showing up the beauty and ’ elegance of that magnificent caravansary. The Argus would inform its readers that North Georgia was in the hands of a blizzard, and that it snowed this week, but it really believes they had sense enough to discover that fact for them selves. Janies Wells, of Stafford’s settlement, Whitfield county, has become an attache of The Argus office, and will learn the art preservative, Mr. Wells is a bright young country lad and will make his mark in the world. Will Swick, of Dalton, formerly associ ated with John A. Shope, the live Dalton butcher and grocer, has gone to Chatta nooga, and with Will Walker, a former Dalton boy, will enter the beef market business in that city. The T ?wis House is having a fine run i if' V** f hit fe .mowing, and co ... eommoa<?tc the transient de/ ...J upon its accommodations. And the Lewis House deserves its wonderful success. Judge J. C. Norton, the retiring ordi nary of Whitfield county, is one of the cleverest men oti the topside of the earth, and liie Argus always found him one of the best men it ever had any dealings . with. May success always follow his steps. Tom L. Brooke, the clever and court eous agent of the Western & Atlantic railroad at Ringgold, stepped into The Argus office yesterday and subscribed for the paper. Tom Brooke is a sensible man and knows a good thing when he sees it. In speaking of Gen. B. F. Butler’s death, which occurred Wednesday fn Washington, the Macon News says: “Beast Butler’s spoons are surely m-1- ted if he carried them with him. Dr. Hawthorne can make no mistake about his whereabouts.” Judge Jos ph Bogle, went to Atlanta the past week and qualified to fill his new position as Ordinary of Whitfield county. L. H. Callaway, the newly elec ted county treasurer, has made his bond and duly qualified for the office, of which he will take charge of at once. Young Jesse Smith, the bright 17-year old son of Rev. M. D. Smith, of North Dalton has accepted a position with The Argus as compositor. Jesse has worked a few years at the business, and is already “quite a printer,” ami has the right sort of metal in him to make one of the best. W. C Shannon, a former Dalton boy, I how living in Selma, Ala., writes: “I think The Argus the best paper that 1 North Georgia has ever had. I always . like to get it, as it is like a letter from , home, and when my subscription is out, I don’t want it stopped. Just notify me and I will send the money with pleasure, . for I would not do without it for double the amount.” And that’s the way they i all talk. The Chrttanooga News pays this com pliment to a former Daltonian: “The East Tenness“e Bell is a new one—an il lustrated and illuminated publication telling how to go anywhere by the East Tennessee railroad. The bright and clever “Jimmie” Farnsworth modestly hides bis handiwork under the simple word, “editor.” It is Mr. Farnsworth’s work and is as dainty and attractive as anything that any road can get out. A pretty feature is a double page of illus trations of the world’s fair buildings.” Everything at cost at the New York Racket Store for the next 30 days. For bill heads, go to The Argus office.
