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. M. P. Berry. Young Men and Women TN ho 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. 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. Four ladies out of five have some peculiar trouble. “Orange Blossom” "ill cure them. SqM by all druggists. Bolt and Tapp. Cartersville has Bolt, the jeweler, and Dalton has Tapp, the jeweler.

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.

Receiver Njturk* Write* the Manu facturer’* Record a I.etter. 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.
