CLEVER TOM PEEPLES. Thomas Jefferson Peeples, the present agent of the Western and Atlantic rail road at Dalton, was ls>rn in Gwinnett county, Ga., not h*r from Liw- U. Tk reiiccville, Sep- . _4frl tember 16, 1839. He was educHt- i * I * u * * or ’ on an <1 M urr a y jf co un ti es—at h ant i Ml \ Calhoun in one, at on 1 ; Academy in the other. He fanned un ’ e til the late war broke out, w hen tie entered the Confed erate service in the Third Georgia In fantry, and was later advanced to the Third Confederate Cavalry. He served through the ent in* war, and made a brave and able soldier; tie was always on hand when duty called,and never showed the white feather. After the close of the war Mr. Peeples began the calliuir of a railroader ’on the Western and Atlantic railroad, and has been a railroader ever since; an idea of his faithful, prompt and efficient service may be gathered from the fact that in all his 33 years of railroading, he was never suspended nor discharged. He has served the most of the time with the Western and Atlantic, though forseyeral years he was conductor of a passenger train on tin* Alabama Great Southern railroad. He Las served as conductor,yard master, and agent at Dalton, and in all positions proved himself an »Ificient em ploye. 'l’om Peeples has always been a true blue southern ilemoerat, hu<l a valuable addition to the party. As he expresses it, he “don t know anything but democ racy, and never expects to.” September 4, 1860, .Mr. Peeples married Alias Martha J. Norman, a pretty and ac complished young lady of Fayetteville, Ala., and his devotion to the south is evidenced by the fact that a few months later he left the s de of his young bride to tight the batt h's of his country. Mr. and Mrs. Peeples have had six children one dead and five living all married. Ella J. Peeples married Jacob Goodsoil ami now lives in Walker county. Drew M. Peeples married Miss Beams, of Green Cove Springs, Fla.; he now lives in Chattanooga and is secretary and treasurer of the W. (). Peeples Grocery Company. Minnie Peeples married J. D. Keith, the present baggage agent at the Dalton union depot. Kate Peeples married 11. S. Watts, of Fairmount, Gor don county, where they now live. Tom ! N. Peeples married Miss Ola Mitchell. ! daughter of Conductor Tom Mitchell, of the Western and Atlantic railroad, about a month since. “Young Tom” is night baggage agent at the union depot. Mr. Peeples lives on Spring Place street, and has a tine 9-aere garden spot attached to his home place; he also runs a farm in Murray county, where he owns one of the best. Tom Peeples is one of nature’s noble men brave as a lion, true as steel, ten der as a woman in his feelings, ami as clever as the day is long. It is a pleasure to know him, and he is a citizen of which all Dalton should be proud. As a business man Mr. Peeples is w hat you . call an “up-and-up” man - square as a die ami as courteous and attentive as ! can be. If you have any freight to ship | <>r any railroad tickets to buy, try him and see if The Ainas don’t te’ll the truth. - na. s. A. FOSTER. S. A. Foster, the wide-awake, manager of the Dalton Furniture and Collin Em porium, was born March 27th, 1839, in Monroe county, Ga. He was edu rated principally at V the McDonough Institute. He etu- Tvv died medicine, but LZ did not complete } -7 J a regular collegiate course, on account of the breaking ' opt of the war, x- r ' though he did / several years practice with marked success after the war. He has been connected with several newspapers as editor ami publisher, ami is a tine compositor. He served four years) during the war in the sth, 4th and 32nd I Georgia regiments, ami First Ga. sharp- ’ shooters. Was engaged in several tights, and wounced ami captured in the memo- I rahle battle of Chickamauga. Was pa roled in March, 1865, and came home on a crutch. He has been in the mercan tile business continuously since 1866. Dr. Foster has been married twice. His first wife was the daughter of Dr. C. Parsons of Savannah, and half-sister to Col. I. W. Avery, of Atlanta. His sec ond wife was a daughter of Capt. Wm. H. Edwards of Tatnall county, Ga., ami is a very handsome and accomplished lady. He has been very unfortunate in having lost his entire first family consist ing of w ife and three children, and four out ot hi^children by his present wife; the last one, ft Voting lady of seventeen, was killed while at college in Troy, Ala., by the falling of the ojiera house. Marks of his charity can ire found in many* places in Georgia and Florida, par i ticularlv in the way of churches am school houses. Dr. Foster came to Dalton last summer to regain his health and educate his chil dren. His good business qualifications are shown in the success he has attainec in building up the Dalton Furniture am ('ofliii Emporium. He was elected and commissioned as Captain in the 2nd Florida regiment un der < iov. Drew’s administration. Dr. Foster is a citizen with the right sort of grit, and will not be the least among the factors of Dalton’s rapid progress in the near future. His news paper training has especially fitted him I lor a useful citizen, lie believes in the I liberal use of printer’s ink,and is obligee to succeed in business. 11. C. BABCOCK. Hobart Cleland Babcock was born in Chenango county, New York, April 24, 1856. He was educated at Qazenovia Seminary, N. Y. —graduating in two courses, the Ijitin—Scientific and the | classical. Cazenovia Seminary is an in stitution of learning of about the size am rank of Emory College, Ga. Mr. Bab cock was the orator of hid class in 1877 the year he graduated. After completing his education, Mr. Babcock served as principal of the village school of New Berlin, N. Y., (a position similar to our superintendent of public schools), for two years, lie formed very pleasant re | latrons during his w ork there, and has i never ceased to receive pleasant letters from the eight teachers and hundreds of scholars that were associated with him in the schools of New Berlin. Mr. Babcock then read law for 18 months—not for the purpose of being admitted to the bar, but as a valuable addition to his business education. While reading law, Mr. Babcock spent his winters in Ten nessee and Georgia, ami his summers in Middle New York. Spending his win ters south, caused him to fall in love w ith our people and climate, and in IW HOBAKT CLELAND BABCOCK. 1880 he came south to permanently lo cate among us. In November, 1 877, Mr. Babcock mar ried Miss Laura A. Whitney, of Cazeno via, N. Y., an accomplished and popular belle of that city. in 1880 Mr. Babcock come to Dalton and bought an interest in the Cherokee ■ Manufacturing Company,a company that 1 had been in operation since 1866, and be- 1 came its superintendent and manager, and remained such until the company’s plant was destroyed by fire in May, 1886,a 1 tire that caused a loss of over SIIO,OOO to ’ its stockholders. In 1887 Mr. Babcock reorganized the Cherokee Manufacturing Company as a stock company, and was elected president and general manager , Mr. Babcock has certainly managed , the atl’airs of the company successfully. , The original capital stock of the reor ganized company was $17,500—a1l paid up. At the end of the first eighteen months’ business, a 40 per cent, dividend in stock was declared, making the capital stock $26,250, and it still remains at that figure. At the end of ti e next fifteen months it declared a cash dividend of 40 percent., and has since declared two other cash dividends—one of 25 per cent, and another of 10 per cent. It has now on hand, invested in lumber, undivided profits to the amount of $15,- 000. What a magnificent showing for any establishment and any manage ment. Mr. Babcock is also president of the Georgia Hay Press Company organized in 1880; in 1891 he bought a controlling interest, and became general manager. The produet'of this industry amounts to $15,000 per annum, and its presses sell readily at satisfactory margins, the trade sending it volumes of commendations unsolicited. • Mr. Babcock is also president of the Crystal Ice Company, having lieen elect ed to the control of’ that institution in 1892 When he took hold of the aflairs of this company he found that although it had been making a good ileal of ice, it was making no money. He is now en gaged in placing the business of this company on a paying nnd .-olid basis. It is superfluous to say that Mr. Bab cock is a citizen of whom Dalton is proml. Both he and his worthy lady are general favorites she being a.social favorite and a leading light in the Con federate Memorial Association. Mr. Bab cock is a general favorite, ami is the sort of business man who is a help and great addition to any community. Fair Warning.

THE ARGUS; DALTON, GA., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 4.1893, WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. Ur. KinffN’H Alcoholic Antidote or Whiaky < ure. From the Atlanta Journal. That well-known and eminent physician and genius, Dr. C. R. King, corner Forsyth and Walton streets, has gone into the whisky curing bus ) iness with a vengeance. Dr. King is the discoverer of a remedy entirely his own and which 1 has cured hundreds of cases of abso lute drunkenness during the past fourteen years. Indeed, Doctor King ; is an old pioneer in the business and he was curing the dread disease of drunkenness long before he had any competitors in the field to speak of. And he not only cures,but he builds up the system and places a man who is a physical wreck from excessive drink upon a solid foundation of health and soberness. His cure is one of the very finest nerve tonics known and absolutely safe and harmless. Talking with a well known citizen of Atlanta this morning, who took Dr. King’s treatment a few months ago, he said : “I have been addicted to the use o alcoholic liquors since I was a mere boy. For about 25 or 30 years I h ive been an inordinate periodical drinker, until my power to control my habit was completely lost. When almost dead from a protracted spree, about eight weeks ago, I began treatment with Dr. King, taking his Alcoholic Antidote, or Whisky Cure. I am proud to say I am entirely cured, and I believe your remedy will cure any case of inebriety.” * The remedy is not unpleasant, pro duces no unpleasant effects, never hindered me from my work, and now my health is better than it has been for many years. I feel vigorous and youthful for a man sixty yeare of age, my nervous system having been built up and strengthened from the begin ning, and I weigh fourteen pounds more (being very lean), and feel sev eral years a younger man than when 1 began your treatment.” Dr King treats patients at his office, and he will ship the treatment to out of-town patrons, with full instructions and guarantee a cure if instructions are followed. Only about twenny to thirty days are required* to effect a permanent cure. If you are addicted to the liquor habit and want to rid yourseif of the curse, you should consult or corres pond with Dr. King. Fie can cure you. I We Have None to Use. E. B. Farrar, now at the Baptist Theo logical Seminary at Louisville, Ky., writes this valuable suggestion to the editor of The Argls: Louisville, Ky., Jan. 30th, 1893. Dear Sir: Ix't me suggest that in using the new stamp you lick the envelope, it will leave a better taste in your mouth. Your well wisher, E. B. Farrar. The editor of The Argus has no tongue—he has worn it completely off pleading with the delinquent subscriber, and as he did not get enough to buy any stamps he has no need tor a tongue to stick them. However, he takes pleasure in com imgidinir Brother Farrar’s suggestion to the readers of The Argus who are able to buy stamps. Give Them an Alarm Bell. The members of the Dalton Fire De partment are getting up a petition to pre sent to the city council, asking that body to give’the fire department an alarm bell. It is to be hoped that every citizen will sign this petition. And it is urged that the council will grant their request. Dalton needs a fire bell badly, and the boys should be given a good one at once. A city of Dal ton’s size and pretentions cannot get along without a good alarm bell. Let the boys have it.

Carman next Thursday night, and Prof. Showalter, Miss Nell Barrett and Gen. B. M. Thomas will participate in it. The mnsicale will be given for the oenetit of the public school library, and a small admittance fee will be charged. It is believed this delightful affair will lie made one of the events of the season. • Keep Your Blood Pure. One of the must frequent and insid ious causes of bad health is imptire blood. This disorder of the system does not al ways manifest itself outwardly by sores, eruptions, etc., quite often the soreness is altogether internal. The kidneys feel sore, the liver feels sore, the lungs feels sore, and a decay sets in that too often ends fatally. It is much more serious for blocd poison to manifest 'itself inter nally than externally. In such eases neglect means death, for the vital organs once contaminated grow worse unless they grow better, and they w ill never grow fa'tter unless the proper remedy is applied.

A man has to live in a different climate from this to fully appreciate the climate of North Georgia. Those who have lived here always do not appeciate it. have lived almost all my life in a different cli mate, and I can see and feel the superior excellence of this climate. The recent spell of bail, cold weathe-i is the only one I have seen in the four years that I have lived here. And it was so soon over that we did not mind it much. This is the climate of all climates. Thousands are suffering from the cold in other climates, who would be healthy, happy and prosperous if they only lived in such a climate as ours. And North Georgia’s wonderful climate must be one of itschiefest drawing cards. And its climate must be advertised, if it would prosper. The fact is. Mr. Editor, there are thou sands of people up north who are suffer ing from the rigors of its climate, who remain, sutler and endure, simply be cause they do not know; what pleasure and comfort they are losing by not living in this section; because they do not know what a climate we. have down here. If they did know, you would soon see Dal ton growing, ami she would soon be the town you are trying and striving to make her. Why not let them know? WJI. Tull.
