That is what our pressman says—and
the pressman certainly ought to know
how many papers he prints.
And The Argus is still booming. It
proposes to have 2,000 regular subscrib
ers by January 1, 1894.
Services at First Baptist Church

Sabbath school opened at 10 oclock a.
m. by Dr. Hill Harris, the assistant super
intendent, L. S.Flemisterthesuperitend
ent, being absent. On account of the very
inclement weather the school was not
fcarge, the number present being GO, and
"the contribution 90 cents. The manner
in which Dr. Harris handled the school
shows him to be the right man in the
right place.
Preaching by the pastor,Win. Shelton,
jr.,morning and evening. Thexiongrega
tions were small and the sermons short
but interesting, able and instructive.
The sermon in the forenoon was from the
text, “And Abraham called the name of
that place Jehovah Jirah:” Gen. xxi, 14.
The sermon in the afternoon
was from the text, “What
is man that thou art mindful of him, or
the son of man that thou visitest him.”

services, were the ones not edified and
blessed.
The prayer meetings of this church are

topic is considered and discussed. Every
body is invited to attend, but the mem
bers of the church especially are urged
to be present and participate in these
meetings.
■ Our Beloved Shumate.
" Hon. Isaac E. Shumate, of Dalton,
was in the city yesterday and received
ti>e cordial welcome of his many At
lanta friends. Colonel Shumate is
one of the most modest and yet most
worthy of the sons of Georgia. He
rendered distinguished service in the
constitutional convention of 1877, and
therein impressed the people with his
ability as a lawyer, his broad conserva
tism as a statesman and his superb
eloquence and skill as a debater.—At

DOGWOOD CHURCH.
A New SiibNcr liter Writes The Argil*
h Few Dots.
Dogwood Church, January 19—Possi
bly a few dots from our famous Dogwood
Valley will be of interest to the many
readers of your widely spread paper.
. -Christmas, with all its festivities, do
nation trees and social reunions has gone
by and we are now entering upon the
new year 1893 with renewed zeal,
energy and impetus. Just now dread
winter holds sway and snow and ice are
sentinels faithful to their trust If tra
dition hold true, we may anticipate a
cold winter in full, and little variation
toward coming spring.
Professor Keneniere has just closed his
music school of ten days, after having
labored faithfully to encourage, inspire
and promote an interest in the heartsand
minds of his beloved pupils.
History repeats itself again and again.
Cupid, invaded, the encampment and
many were the slain, pierced by his
love-tipped arrows.
Following in close proximity comes
our “long term” literary school at Dog
wood Academy, conducted by Miss N. A.
Rodgers, one of our most efficient and
energetic teachers of the Catoosa insti
stitute. The enrollment numbers forty
pupils, notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather, sickness and opposition. The
location is favorable for a good attend
ance from both Catoosa and Whitfield,
being a line school. The patrons are
struggling hard to maintain their rights
to patronize said school.
The Rev. Mr. Jackson, who labored so
faithfully during the past year at Dog
wood church, has moved to Tunnel Hill,
and will occupy the pulpit at this place
for the ensuing year, having been unani
mously elected.
Miss Laura Adams, one of Dogwood’s
most amiable and interesting young
ladies, is convalescing.
Will and M iss Annie Harris, who are ■
visiting relatives and friends in Dog
wood, will soon return to their home in
Dodd City, Fannin county.
Will Harris, of Dogwood, contemplates
selling his beautiful home on the East
Chickamauga and emigrating to the Lone
Star state to try his fortune by delving in
the virgin soil.
D. W. Tidwell, one of Whitfield’s most
enterprising and substantial farmers, is
erecting a commodious dwelling on his
farm near this place. It will soon be
ready for occupancy.
Professor George S. Fulton, who is
widely known as an educator, spent his
vacation with relatives and friends in
this valley, and has returned to Decora
to resume his duties as principal of the
high school at that place.
Dr. Will Baker and bride, of Green
ville, Tenn., who have been visiting rel
atives in the valley, will locate in Chat
tanooga.

Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla
as a curative agent in cases of blood poi
son. When other remedies miserably
fail to give relief, this remedy always
checks its terrible ravages, even in in
stances of scrofula or syphilis, and re
stores the blood to a state of absolute
purity. Large bottle (192 tea-spoonfuls)

A physician of Waco, Texas, writes: “I
know a number of instances of severe
cases of blood poison being cured by Dr.
John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, no other reme
dy of treatment being made use of, I con
sider that no better blood medicine is
manufactured.”

you want neat, cheap job printing.
And General McLaws Was Right.
General LaFayette McLaws, of Sa
vannah, is a member of the worlds fair
national commission for Georgia, and
and Las never missed a session except
that when the inaugural ceremonies
were hole. His absence was marked,
but has since been explained by anoth
er member of the board, who says: “I
received a long letter f.iom General
McLaws, in which he explained, as I
afterwards learned why he would not
attend the October ceremonies. The
letter was enough to strike terror to
the heart of the bravest writing-mas
ter. It was so dificult to decipher
that I couldn’t take time to read It be
fore going away. On my return
from the ceremonies, I went to work
to read the letter. General McLaws
evidently supposed that his absence
would be noticed, as it was, and wrote
to me to tell me why he remained
away. He had been reading about
the preparations for the parade and
other festivities, and saw that General
Miles was to ride at the head of the
procession. ‘I will never consent,’ he
said, ‘to ride in a procession led by
Jeff Davis’s jailer.’ Had this reason
been assigned by some vehement dem
ocrat, it would not have struck me as
peculiar,” said the commissioner, “but
coming from a veteran republican office
holder it was very amusing, to say the
least.” —Constitution.

MERCURIAL
Mr. J. C. J ones, of Fulton, Ark., says of
“About ten years ago I con
b&lglS-lkal tracted a severe case of blood
poison. Leading physicians prescribed
medicine after medicine, which I took
without any relief. I also tried mercu
rial and potash remedies, with unsuc-

cessful results, but which brought on an
attack of mercuri l n eumatism that
made my life one of agony. After suf

and commenced using S. S. S. After
taking several bottles, I was entirely
cured and able-to resume work.
