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. January 19 th, 1893. Furniture Cheap. We will duplicate prices quoted by any house in Dalton, and not sell at cost, either.

Dalton Furniture and Coffin Em porium. 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.

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.

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 us. J. & J. B. Graves & Co., 3t. Dalton, Ga. DAL 10N. GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1893. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN WHITFIELD COUNTY. SMALL LOCAL LINES, Interesting Incidents Grouped Un der One Head. ALL OVER THE CITY. What the People of Dalton Were Doing Thia Week-The New* in a Small Nutshell. The Lord takes care of the lame and lazy. The plumbers have had a picnic the past week. 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 Hill tomorrow—morning and night. 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. . Clever George Fe'rgerson again pulls the bell cord on the Western & Atlantic accommodation, and Doc Mance once more does the tooting 4 with the engine’s whistle. The sleighers were out in larger force yesterday than ever before. Everybody who could improvise any of was in the gay nnd .*ll U-ii merry time. ■ , 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 convince you thwl we are selling vqry ijheap is for yoyZo come anil , ser dw goods and leani our prices, which meatc ►a sale if you intend to buy. •Cherokee Furniture Co.

Heartsell, of the Spring Place Jimplecute, who was recently elected mayor of that little city, is- mak ing an ideal officer. 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.

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.

Oysters, Fresh bread. Fresh cakes, Northern apples, Fancy bananas, At Buchholz’s. One Dollar a Year. HELP GOD’S POOR! Several Oases of Destitution in and. Around Dalton. 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.

Berry’s. Will be sold for cash or on time. Only One Arrest.
