OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS,
superintendent M. P. Berry Tells
Something About Them.
IN SPLENDID CONDITION
Aixl ’’"'•nurd Wood TeiM-her.
and Bright Scholar* - Ail
Moviotf Alouk Nicely.
The school at Varnells, a beautiful
little city, on the E. T., V. & G. R. R.,
north of Dalton, conducted by W. M.
Seymore and his sister Miss Marguerite,
i 8 in fine working order, attended by
fifty bright and promising boys and
girls. These scholarly teachers will
insure success.
The school at Cohutta, four and a
half miles north.cn same line, a thriv
ing town of Whitfield, has the most
promising school ever known to the
place with J. W. Webb and Miss Bettie
Graves as teachers ; with such schol
larly progressive teachers, Cohutta
may anticipate much in the line of
school work. The unity and co-opera
tion of the patrons insures success.
Thfs school is well graded with sixty
young ladies and gentlemen, includ
ing the sparkling children.
At Red Clay, the bright little city
north on the same line, has the most
flourishing school ever known to the
place, conducted by that spirited en
thusiastic teacher Mr. Robert A. Dean.
This school is systematically organiz
ed, consisting of fifty-one pupils.
Red Clay has reason to be proud of
her teacher and school.
Three miles east of Red Clay, we
find one of Whitfield’s oldest and most
successful teachers, in position at
Hopewell; has been teaching in that
community for almost a generation.
Words fail to express the good done
by him and the honor he merits for
his faithful Service. Enough to say
that his school is in splendid shape,
with thirty-one bright, ambitious girls
and boys in attendance.
A few n.iles east of Hopewell, we
find the long established school site
known as Tucker’s. F. B. Quillian's
second term at that place. It would
be hard to overrate this teacher’s
work in the school room. To under
stand the value of his efforts in teach
ingboys and girls,morally, religiously,
as well as in the text books —one must
go and see. Forty-nine registered
pupils and good attendance.
McGaughy’s, as usual, has a well
graded school, taught by J. L. Crow,
who has been teaching at the same
place and in the community a num
ber of years. Has his school in
splendid Order.' His young wife, Miss
Hattie, is conducting a school at
Prospect, a few miles distant from her
husband. These are small schools,
but are doing finely. The former has
twenty-five and the latter thirty-five
pupils in school. These schools are
unusually promising.
The Mars Hill school, in the same
section of the coupty, being taught
by J. M. Parrott, one of Whitfield’s
promising young men, has a fine
school of bright boys and girls. Has
forty-five in attendence; school well
arranged ; has sixteen girls and boys
in the advanced grade, of whom the
teachers and patrons should be proud.
A want of supply of text books
and material for the pupils at this
place in particular, and all the schools
in general, has been and is one of
the greatast drawbacks to success.
The cold weather has interfered
much ; but the former reason can and
should at once be corrected.

every respect the best equipped school of
this kind in the south.
Calhoun Waking Up.
Calhoun is taking on a considerable
industrial boom. The citizens of that
little burg are enthusiastically talking
about a cotton factory, to cost $150,000.
ai >d a large canning factory, to be
erected in the early spring. Some of
the best citizens in the place are inter
ested in these enterprises, and the out
look for their erection and successful
operation is said to be very flattering.

THE ARGUS: DALTON, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1893.
THE OTHER SIDE.
A Daltonian .Speak* up tor the Abused
Town Cow.
Dalton Ga., Jan. 31st 1893
To the Editor of The Dalton Argus:
Dear Sir: I desire to express my
sentiments in regard to "the town
cow.”
I see from the last issue of The Ar--
gus that some one is agitating this
qiwstion. It is true that cows some
times stand on the street, and on the
sidewalk, but I have not heard of a
single case where ladies Qr others have
ever been serious!}' hurt by "the town
cow.” A law to prohibit cows on the
street would simply mean this, the
wealthy could either keep cows or
pay high prices for milk and butter;
the poor or the working class could
not afford to keep a cow and could not
afford to buy. As there are more poor
people in Dalton than rich ones,
such a law would be against the best
interests of the people, and as a result,
not one aiderman who voted for such
a law would ever be elected to that
office again. We would give them a
genuine third party defeat.
Respectfully,
C T. L. Hickman.
Let Them Build It.
We think it would be money well
spent for the countv commissioners
of Murray and Whitfield counties to
build r a macadamized road from
Spring Place to Dalton and have a
toll gate somewhere on the route.
’The road can be built in a little over
eight miles, and the commissioners
can issue five percent, bearing bonds,
due twenty years from date, and get
the money on them any day. Shaver,
Whitman, what, do you think about it?

TOBACCO EXPERIMENTS.
Receiver Njturk* Write* the Manu

From the Manufacturer's Record.
In reply to a recent inquiry Receiver
W. B. Sparks, of the Georgia Southern &
Florida Railroad, writes us as follows.
“We are manufacturing tobacco on a
small scale at Cycloneta.a farm owned by
the Macon Construction Co., and located
on the Georgia Southern & Florida R. R.
We have been very successful this sea
son in raising plug leaf tobacco, and be
lieve that by manufacturing it and sell
ing it in our farm store and on our com
missary trains, we can make it net the
farm at least fifteen cents per pound.
We have shown this season that from
800 to 1,5000 pounds of tobacco can be
raised per acre in Southern Georgia. We
have also shown that there are large
profits in upland rice, and we are teach
ing the farmers along the line that there
is more more money in watermelons,
cantelopes, peaches, pears, rice, tobacco
and small fruits, hay and vegetables
than in cotton. We are teaching them
that we are their friends, interested in
their development, and they show their
appreciation of this fact by not finding,
in damage suits, for the plaintiffs in exor
bitant sums, as is usually done in suits
against railroad companies.”
Pre eminent for cough and cold.
Mr. Wm. J. Beecher, 142 Whitesboro
St., Utica, N. Y.. writes: "Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup hasfcured my two chil
dren of a bad cough and cold, which
they have had for some time. It can
not be equalled for coughs or colds.
I have always used it.”
For Our School Teachers,
An enumeration of the school
population of Georgia will be made
this spring. This was decided at the
meeting of the state board of education
the 10th of January last. It was also
decided that history should be taught
in the common schools of the state.
The actioiyof the board makes his
tory a compulsory study and allows
county boards to prescribe what histo
ry shall be used.
The board decided to have an
enumeration of the school population
of the state made. Tbe law says the
enumeration must be made every ten
yeajs,but it can be made every five
years.
It has been five year? since an
enumeration was made, the population
then being 560,281.
State School Commissioner Bradwell
will have charge of the work, which
will cost between fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars. He thinks it will
be completed bp May.
THEOOUD-BYE HINN AT THEiDOOK.
Her eyes were illumined with a glance of pride
And her heart with love aglow *
As she softly tripped to uyr husband's side
When he opened the door to go.
And there in her morning wrapper trim,
While a smile her rid lips wore,
She stood on the steps and gave to him
A good-bye kiss at the door.
She turns to her duties with cheerful heart.
For she has now to learn
That the wife and husband must often part
When the daily bread's to earn ;
And there’s peace and joy in her gentle breast
As she sews, or sweeps the floor,
And every task is essayed with zest
For the good-bye kiss at the door.
And the husband striving in life’s rough race,
Where there’s little time for play,
liar many a glimpse of her smiling face
In bis mind through the busy day—
And his hx>k is tender, his eyes were bright
As he cons his ledger o’er,
For he thinks of the welcome that waits at night,
And the good-bye kiss at the door.
O wives and husbands, the world is bright
When the heart with love dotli glow,
And its path is smooth and its burden light
If you’re willing to make them so;
And the sun will shine through the darkest day
And scatter the clouds that lower
And the roses blossom .along life's way
For the. good-by kiss at the door,
—Cape Cod Item.

Don’t Advertise Bad Books.
From the Greenville (S. C.) Mountaineer.
Many years ago when editing the
Anderson Intelligencer, we denounced
an improper book sent to us through
the mails by its publisher, and in a
short time we received a grateful letter
of thanks from} them, asking us to
give the book more free advertising of
that sort, as it had increased their
sales largely in Anderson county.
It is not always desirable to adver
tise existing evils by denunciation
even.

A physician of Waco, Texas, writes: “I

town to compile a list of such names
for us. For this service we will give a
year’s subscription to Woman’s Work
for each thousand inhabitants, accord
ing to last census. If your town has
a population of 2,000, a list of names
for it will entitle you to receive Wom

yourself and some friend to receive it
one year each. If your town has 5,000
inhabitants yon will be entitled to re
ceive Woman’s Work for five years, or
yourself and four friends to receive it
for one year each. Never a better
chance to make presents. We have
speeial blanks prepared for this work,
and these must be used in every case.
