Called Meeting.
Dalton. Ga., January 10, 1894.
After consultation the chairman
and executive committee on temper
ance and prohibition, in view of the
fact that a petition is being circulated
by the Antis for an election to be held
in the Dalton District in order to
open up the sale of spirituous liquors,
have decided to call a public meeting
of citizens at the court house on next
Tuesday night, January 19th, 1894, at
7 p. m.
By Order Executive Committee.
His First Fee.
They tell a good one on Judge Joseph
Bogle.
A rural couple stepped into Judge Bo
gie’s office last Saturday and wanted a
marriage license, and wanted the Judge
to marry them. Judge Boule fixed up
the license, requested the pair to stand
up and proceeded to perform the cere
mony. When the pair was securely tied
by Hymen’s hemp, the groom inquired :
“What does it all cost?”
“The license costs $1.50,” replied the
Judge; “the law leaves it to the groom
to say what he is willing to pay to have
the ceremony performed.”
“All right,” replied the happy groom,
and he untied his tobacco sack, paid the
Judge $1.50 for the license, and then
handed him ten cents (two nickles), and
with a “thankee,” grabbed his new wife’s
hand and passed out of the office.
Judge Bogle gazed after the couple a
moment, and then exclaimed: “Well,
that beats my cats! That is the first mar
riage ceremony I have performed since I
have been Ordinary, and to think I
should begin on a ten cent fee! Well,
well; I’mblowed!”
But it was too good a joke on himself
for the Judge to keep, and he had to im
part it in strict confidence to a few'
friends, and in that way everybody was
soon talking aliout it.
The Judge’s friends suggest that he
find out hereafter whM value a man
places on his proposed wife before he
performs the ceremony.
Judge Bogle says he don’t want any
body to think that he is a ten cent man,
and that he will have to raise the price
to 15 cents, or two for a quarters.

“Georgia as Good as Any.’’
Mr. J. A. Kaneaster, of Salado, Ark
ansas, was in The Argus oilice Tues
day. He came in to subscribe for the
paper himself, and to renew the sub
scription of his brother, W. F. Kan
easter, of Desha, Ark. Mr. Kaneaster
knows Georgia well, and having gone
to Arkansas from the Varnell neigh
borhood many years ago, he knows
Arkansas and the southwest pretty
thoroughly. In conversation with
tha editor of The Argus, he said :
“I have lived in Arkansas many
years, and 1 tint! that North Georgia
is as good a country as Arkansas in
its best spots. The bottom lands of
the southwest are very rich, but be
yond that the lands are not tillable
and are almost impassable to vehicles.
We find the same trouble out there
that you find in Georgia; we can’t
make as much now as we could when
our lands were new, and we do not
get as much for it. Our merchants
have quit the credit business, and
that has helped us some, but the third
party agitation has hurt us and set us
back a good deal. The third party
element in our state retard progress
and development, because most of
them are waiting for the government
to help them (as the demagogues have
promised them it would) instead of
buckling down to hard work ami try
ing to help themselves. We have
had a hard year out in Arkansas, but
pur farmers who work and practice
economy are all doing well, and have
plenty. I believe the man who is doing
well in Georgia ought to stay here, and
I believe the man who is doing well in
Arkansas and the Southwest ought
to stay there.”
Mr. Kaneaster is one of the leading
farmers of his section, and his opinion
ought to have weight.

Christmas Weddinar
Frotn x the Cartersville Courant-American.
Married in Dalton, by the Rev. Mr.
Craighill, on the afternoon of Decem
ber 28th, at the residence of the bride’s
father, Miss Jennie Louis Thomas to
Mr. James Cothran Milam.
It was an ideal day, the sun shone
bright and glorious, and the faint
zephyrs were so soft and balmy as to
remind one of lovely Christmas days
of the far-off sunny south.
A number of intimate friends and
relatives were present, and also a
little party accompanied the groom
from Cartersville, to witness the cere
mony.
The bride and groom stood in the
archway of the folding doors, the
crimson draperies casting a radiance
on everything around, the minister in
front of them in his surplice reading
the beautiful and impressive cere
mony of the Episcopal church made
a picture that will always be remem
bered by those present.
After the ceremony, the guests all
signed the marriage certificate; then
the bridal party was driven to the
depot.
On arriving at Cartersville, the
bride and groom went directly to his
pretty home on Cassville street,
where relatives and friends had gath
ered to welcome them ; late in the eve
ning and elegant supper was ‘served.
May their life always be as bright
and cloudless as the day on which
they took their marriage vows.
