Red Clay, January 20.—The almost
unprecendented bad weather the
past week has not only blocked the av
enues of commercial activity, but has
suspended travel by other than railroad
conveyance, it being considered even
quite risky for pedestrians to venture
from the fireside.
Mrs. Moses Rollins, reaiding a few
miles from here, fell on the ice last Sun
day, receiving injuries by the fall from
which she died on Monday.
Lee Bates had a fell on Monday which
knocked several teeth loose. James
Hubbard fell on the ice Tuesday, splitting
his lip with his teeth. Miss Lizzie Em
merson was carrying a bucket of water
and fell, severely injuring herself. Adam
Queen had a serious fall. Professor R.
A. Dean slipped up with an arm full of
books, injuring his right hand and elbow.
Doctor B. B. Brown, in stepping from
his house, slipped and fell down without
any ceremony—except a chattering of
teeth. Your correspondent would have
been in for his share, but for his fortu
nate proximity to a strong picket fence,
which refused to yield when he grasped
it for safetv.
From the present outlook of the
weather, it is safe to say there will be
very little visiting for some days.
Card of Thanks.
In the name of our family and of all
the relatives of the late Mrs. Henrie
Bender, we desire to return our warm
est thanks to those kind friends who
showed such untiring sympathy and
devotion in her recent illness and
death. Where there was so much
kindness shown by so large a number
it would be invidious to particularize,
but to each and all we tender our
sincerest gratitude, trusting that in all
The bereavements of life their hearts
may be soothed by the same kind
sympathy.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bender,
W. F. Bender.

A Deserved Compliment.
The Christian Index, of Atlanta, the
leading Baptist publication of the
south, in its issue of Thursday, 19th
instant, copies the sketch of Rev. Win.
Shelton,which appeared in The Argus
of January 7th, with due credit, and
also prints the cut of Mr. Shelton
which appeared in this paper. This
is a deserved compliment to a worthy
man of God by his own people, of
which it delights The Argus to take
note.
Young Men and Women
Who desire to get a good business educa
tion that will givE them a start in life
should send for illustrated circular of the
Birmingham Business College, Birming
ham, Ala. This is the largest and in
’every respect the best equipped school of
this kind in the south.
Pork Sausage.
You will find at Bowen’s market the
best pork sausage in town today. Also
a full line of fresh meats to make your
•Sunday dinner complete.
Snow News.
The snow is general all over the
state. In many places business is
entirely suspended. ,
This is the first real snow storm
Augusta has had in years.
Savannah is snow balling, too.
Macon has both snow and sleet.
Rome has eight inches of snow,
gush fun as the Sunny South has
had snow balling and sleighing.
Atlanta's 7 inches of snow has
blocked business considerably, but has
not blocked her charitable deeds.
Her citizens met Wednesday and in
two hours raised $5,000 for her desti
tutejand suffering poor.
Farmers all over the south are
rejoicing at the snow. It promises
abundant crops for them the coming
year.
We offer for the next thirty day’s one
thousand trimmed and untrimmed felt
hats at greatly reduced prices. Now is
the time to get your hats. Come and see

The Lord takes care of the lame and

The plumbers have had a picnic the

Cotton was was worth 10 cents in Dal
ton yesterday.
Remember the poor. This weather is
tough on them.
Rev. W. T. Dale will preach at Tunnel

Nails can be driven into hard wood
without bending, if first dipped in lard.
The Comus Club will meet Tuesday
night at the residence of Col. T. R. Jones.
The latest fad among the fashionable
young ladies of the cities is parlor cook
ing.
There was small attendance at the
churches Sunday because of the bad, cold
weather.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment in another column of a fine horse
for sale cheap. Call at this office and see
about it.
By a change in the Western and At
lantic-schedule the afternoon train from
Atlanta arrives here at 5:20, instead of at
4:40 as formerly.
Last Monday the Lewis House fed
over 50 trasient customers and over 75
boarders in all. This speaks well for
Mine host Dalton.
The Misses Clemons had a delightful
card party Thursday night at their home
on North Hamilton street. The young
people present had a pleasant time.
The past week the shoe dealers
laughed many a merry laugh at the
small boys sliding, or “skating’ as they
called it. They wore their shoes out fast.

the bell cord on the Western & Atlantic

who could improvise any of

According to state school Commissioner
Bradwell’s apportionment of the public
school fund for 1893, Whitfield county
gets $6,234, 22 per cent, of which goes to
the Dalton schools.
The souvenir stamps are not yet on
sale in the Dalton office. Our postmas
tress should follow’ the fashion and adopt
the latest style. It will never do for
Dalton to be out of style.
W. O. Peeples, brother of Tom J.
Peeples of Dalton, a former Murray
county boy, and a former Daltonian, has
been elected president of the Chatta
nooga chamber of commerce.
Last week The Argus told you what
the w’eather w’ould be the past week.
You have seen it for yourself and it
would be egotism on our part to presume
that you could not tell weather when
you saw it, and tell you what it has been.
Superintendent M. P. Berry, of the
Whitfield county public schools, is
one of those thorough school officers
who believes in connecting any evils
that may exist at the beginning of the
school year, and not waiting until it is
too late.
R. Collier, Tilton, writes: “Your pa
per gets better every week. My sub
scription to The Argus will soon be
out, and I want to renew it, and also
take the Weekly Constitution and the
Southern Farm.” The Argus goes like
hot cakes. -
J. L. Longley, that clever conductor on
the Western and Atlantic railroad,
stepped into the captain’s office Wednes-*
day and made the editorial heart glad by
planking down two years cash subscrip
tion to The Argus. Os such men is
newspaper prosperity composed.
Clever R. J. L. Richardson, a Dalto
nian who. has been located in Atlanta
for some time in “Uncle Sam’s” service,
and of course a subscriber to The Argus,
stepped in Monday to have the address
of his paper changed, He is now route
agent between Chattanooga and Merdian.
Advertising not only has scriptural
authority, but is of very respectable an
tiquty, as well. If you will look in
Numbers xxiv, 14 you will find Balaam
saying, “Come, now,and I will advertise.”
If you want more evidence, then listen
at Boaz in Ruth, iv, 4, “And I thought to
advertise.” People all over the world
have made money by judicious advertis-,
ing.—Covington Enterprise.
They Want Produce.
C. E. DeJournette & Co., those live
and w’ide-awake commission and pro
duce merchants, who do the largest bus
iness of the kind in North Georgia, in
formed The Argus yesterday that bus
iness in their line was duller than for a
number of years, notwithstanding the
big price they are paying for all kinds of
produce.
They want all you have got. Bring it
in at once, as prices are now gilt-edged,
up to the top notch.
THAT VILLANOW SHOOTING.
Jacob Coodaon Admitted to 801 -
Püblic Sentiment in Hi* Favor.
Wesley Short, who was shot at Villa
now, WalktC'county, last Saturday week
by Jacob Goodson, died and was buried
at Swamp Creek church,Whitfield coun
ty, the past week.
The preliminary trial came up Tues
day at LaFayette, and Goodson b was
bound over to the superior court in the
sum of $15,000.
The general sentiment in Walker, The
Argus learns from a gentleman who was
in Walker the past week, is in Goodson’s
favor, the fact that Goodson, immediately
after the true bill was found against
him, walked into town and sur
rendered to the sheriff, bearing strongly
in his favor. The fact that he was ad
mitted to bail shows that the case against
him is not considered very grave.
The defense waived examination on
the simple charge of manslaughter and
on that charge Goodson was bound over.
The opinion prevails that Goodson will
have an easy matter proving'a case of
self-defense.
Mr. Goodsor’s bondsmen were T. J.
Peeples, Jesse Goodson, Hamp Puryear,
Felton Pope and James Richardson.
Col. I. E. Shumate is one of the law-
Jers for the defense in the case against
acob Goodson, and Col. J A. Glenn is
retained as prosecuting attorney.
Boys Stealing Coel
A coal dealer of Dalton stepped
into The Argus office Thursday and
requested us to call the attention of
the police to the fact that several boys
around town are engaged in the busi
ness of stealing coal and selling it to
people who ought to know that it is
stolen. He says he would not care so
much if these boys carried the coal
home to relieve want, but that he is
going to take steps to stop this illicit
traffic in bis coal, if the police do not.
“Push.”
We aim to make a friend of each cus
tomer and an advertisement of each sale.
The way to success in the business world
is through a door marked.
“PUSH.”
We intend to push our business this
Year by offering goods for less than they
Uave ever been sold. The only way we can

Writing Paper Cheap.
In another column will be found
the card of Farnsworth Bros., announ
cing the fact that for the next thirty
days they will sell 20,000 quires of
writing paper at 5 cents per quire,
and that to all parties who buy as
much as a ream at one time they will
sell it at 3 cents a quire, or 60 cents a
ream. This’is indeed a rare opportu
nity offered you of getting your writ
ing material cheap, and you should
avail yourself of it. It will pay you to
lay in a good supply while ii is going
at such a bargain.
Buy your sweetheart a few reams,
and she will write you love letters long
enough to satisfy your most ardent
longings ; it is beautiful paper for love
missives, and you can rewrite your lit
tle billet doux until you get it to fit the
occasion, and the paper you waste will
not cost you so much as usual.
Give them a call.
Correction.

SWEET CHARITY’S HAND
1 ■
A* Jthe Snnw Cover* the Earth, Sweet
Charity Cover* a Multitude
of Your Black Sin*.
’ • »
Rev. M. D. Smith, pastor of the
North Hamilton Street Methodist
church, reports to The Argus that he
has run across several bad cases of
want and suffering in his effort* to do
charitable work the past week. Sev
eral are an object of want, —no fuel,
no food, and really in danger of starv
ing and freezing to death ; others sick,
with insufficient warmth and nourish
ment to enable them to successfully
battle with disease.
Mr. Smith is a zealous man of God,
and is untiring in his charitable work,
braving the worst of this weather, but
while his heart is as big as his body
his pocket is small, and he is unable '
to relieve all this suffering from his
own funds. He appeals to the chari
table people of Dalton to help him
relieve these poor and needy sufferers,
and any funds left with him, or at
The Argus office for him, will be
applied at once to help God’s poor.
Fuel,clothing and food will be just
as acceptable.
Help God’s poor. “Inasmuch as ye
did it to the least of these, ye did it
unto me.”
Sweet Charity.
Messrs. Joseph Bogle, in behalf of the
county, and Steve B. Felker, in behalf of
the city, met in the First National bank
Thursday and distributed money and
other necessaries to the deserving poor
and needy, of whom they were cogni
zant
Help Will BwGiven.
1 Judge Joseph Bogle last night informed
an Argus man that any needy individual
! who really deserved charity would be re-
J lieved in part by applying to him or to
, Hon. S. B. Felker, chairman W the coun
. cil relief committee. He, however, urges
all who are able to give anything to give.
There is much need for help in this line,
and the authority of the county and city
officials to give is limited.
“He that giveth unto the poor lendeth
unto the Lord.”
Everything at cost at the New York
Racket Store for the next 30 days.
Signed Big Contracts.
R. P. Manley, of the Manly Manu
facturing company, returns to the city
today from a business trip to Florida.
He signed a big contract in both Ocala
and Jasper to build a jail in each place,
a $).6,000.00 jail at Ocala. SB,OOO at
Jasper. At Jasper Mr. Manly stayed
four days and had all the mill men in
the country to compete with. This is
another signal victory for Dalton
enterprise.
A car load of “Old Hickory Wagons”
at T. A. &S. E. Berry’s. Will be sold for
cash or on time.
Only One Arrest.
Up to last night there had been only
one arrest in Dalton since the first of the
year, that one being a small negro boy
or a trivial offense. Probably no city of
>,600 population in the United States can
Miast of such a record.
