J. M Berry said to The Argus this,
week: “Just put me down for a yearly*

gus'paid me better than any investment
I have made in a long time.” Read Mr.
Berry’s card in another column.
Mrs. Blanche McClelland, Jacksboro,

Babcock and F. E. Whitney. Mr. E.
Whitney and Mrs. Babcock returned to
Dalton this week ; Mr. F. E. Whitney
will remain in Ohio several weeks. Mr.
E. Whitney says rb soon as he crossed
the Ohio river, his asthma began to
trouble him, and as soon as he got back,
it ceased troubling him. That is cer
tainly a fine recommendation for Dalton
to asthma sufferers.
The smallest taxpayer in the county
lives in Tilton. He pays five cents tax,
and comes up to Dalton every year to
pay it. He owns a lot, valued at $5, and
really his state and county tax is less
than five cents, but as five cents is the
least amount he could pay, he always
pays his taxes cheerfully.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh L. Brown lost their
little baby the first of the week, from a
combination of whooping-cough and

along nicely with the whooping-cough,
when he caught cold. The Argus ex
tends its sympathy to the bereaved
father and mother.
The leading men of Dalton should hold
a meeting, and start a plan to get the
new United States prison located here.
A strohg position, setting forth the supe
rior advantages of Dalton over Atlanta,
would be a telling card, when all other
strings were pulled in concert with it.
The “California Exhibit Car,” here
Monday and Tuesday, was simply an ag
gregation of patent salesmen, and quite a
slick set some of them were, to be sure.
We hope the North Georgia Exhibit Car
is making a better record abroad than the
Californian Exhibit Car made here.
