I Ethel Smith Writes.
I Ringgold, Ga., January 21, 1895.
| Dear Argus— l have been thinking
I for some time that I would write to the
I Argus filing you how I like Ringgold.
I like Ringgold very much, but not as
good as Ido Dalton. We left Dalton
about the 27th of September and moved
to the historic city of Ringgold. Papa
has a large store here. About the mid
dle of this month W. 11. Stroup moved to
Ringgold, ami has gone into partnership
with papa. — We have as good a school
here as you have in Dalton. 1 go, and
like it very much. We have about sev
enty-five pupils. —It has rained almost
| every Sunday since we have been here,
tor at least, I think it has. —We have a
good Sunday-school here, and Igo almost
every Sunday. We had a nice Christ
mas tree here, ami all had *a nice time.
—I enjoy reading Uncle Lank B’s. letters
very much; he describes Washington so
plain that I can almost see it.—We all
enjoy reading The very much.
We can hardly wait for it to come, and
when it does come, we can hardly wait
for the mail to open, and when it gets
to the house, we all try to get it at
once, and when we do get it, we read it
through before we stop. I don’t, think
anyone can say they don’t enjoy reading
it, and if they do, they ought not to have
it. —I will quit for this time. Much love
to The Argus. Your friend,
Ethel Smith.
There is good reason for tne popular

Davis & Buzard of West Monterv, Clar

ple that our physicians could do nothing
for. We persuaded them to try a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and
now recommend it with the rest of

THE ARGUS: DALTON; GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1895:
“LANK" GETS HOT

Washington, 1). C., January 19. —I
have had a pleasant time today. This
morning early, I went over to Corcoran
Art Gallery and spent about two hours
looking at the beautiful paintings; it
contains one of the best collections, stat
uary and bronzes, etc., to be found
in any country, and additions constantly
being made to it. The cost of the
building is $350,000; the painting, etc.,
are worth one million. The gallery was
open last night from 7:30 to 10 o’clock;
3,sooladies, gentlemen and children were
admitted. There seemed to be more in
terest in Watts’ Love and Life, than in
any other production ; it is tine; it is a
daisy. I left the gallery and took cars
for Oak Hill cemetery, part of a tract of
land called after the famous Rock of
Dunbarton, in Scotland. It was incor
porated in 1849, and contains 25 acres,
12J acres of- which together with about
the sum of $90,000 expended for im
provements, was the gift of W. W. Cor
coran. It is open every Gay ; is beauti
fully situated, and contains a handsome
Mortuary Chapel, over which climbs
genuine Melrose Abbey Ivy. In the
northwest section is the Corcoran tomb,
erected by Mr. C., for family use. While
the VanNess Mausoleum in, the south
east quarter, was erected by John P.
VanNess, the son-in-law of David Burns,
one of the original proprietors of the
ground furnishing the site of the city of
Washington Among the distinguished
dead buried within the graves, are Chief
Justice Chase, Secretary Stanton, Prof.
Joseph Henry, Gen. Eaton, of Gen.
Jackson’s time, Admiral John Rogers,
W. W. Corcoron and others. The re
mains of John Howard Payne, author of
“Home, Sweet HortX',” who died at
Tunis, Africa, April 9, rest in the
Mausoleum near the Chapel, having
been placed there on the 9th of June,
1893, the 91st anniversary of his birth,
with appropriate ceremonies; all ex
penses being paid by Mr. Corcoran.
There is 6,500 interments in the ceme
tery. On his monument I find the fol
lowing beautiful lines:
“Sure when the gentle spirit fled,
To realms beyond the azure dome,
With arms outstretched, God’s angels said,
Welcome to heaven’s Home, sweet Home.”
Mr. Payne once lived in Murray county,
Georgia, when Murray and Whitfield
were one. Wrote the beautiful piece, I
think, while with the Indians iu Murray
county. I spent about three hours there
by myself. I find familiar names on the
tombstones—one place a family of Ralf
tons; do not know whether they are like
our Bob Ralston, part Indian, or not.
It is the oldest church in America, Rock
Creek church, and is called St. Paul’si
Episcopal church, Rock Creek parish. It
was erected in 1719 with brick imported
from England, and although the churcl'
was rebuilt iu 1775, and remodelled i.G
1868, the main walls are those erected in
1719. I’he Bible used is an Oxford edi
tion of 1727. I went all through the
church and saw tire Bible, the fine organ
and everything else. One of the windows
in the church cost $3,500 Mr. Bell put
it in. It is made of glass, each piece
being about the size of a bean. It is fine.
I know Mrs. Spencer would join that
church if she lived here While there,
there was a funeral of a young lady in
the cemetery. They do not burv folks
up here like they do in Dalton. For the
first one of a family that dies, they dig a
narrow, deep grave, and the next one
that dies they open the first grave and
place the coffin on top of the one buried,
and so on till near the top of the ground.
A small cemetery lot is worth from SSOO
to $1,000; so a family had better go west
—Say to Prof. Roberts I received his good
kind letter. Will try and do as he re
requested me. I am now on his line,
and have lived that way so far. 1 know
he is right. Will study about accepting
the nomination. Tell him to send me
the books and I will put them in good
hands.—lt has been snowing all day and
is dreadfully cold. —We now have with us
at the Crescent, Gen. Win. Brind e and
wife and Miss L Ridgway, Mrs. Brindle’s
sister, of Philadelphia, Pa. The Gen
eral was an old friend of Gen Scott; was
in the army for years with him in Mex
ico, and helped to fight the ‘lndians; is a
West Pointer; was not in our last war
He loves the south and the southern
people. He is a perfect gentleman, and
has plenty of this world’s goods; pays
Mrs. Patterson $125.00 a month for her
two parlor rooms How is that for high
rent? —Will have some tine speeches at
the capitol this week; will go over to
hear them. —Next week, will give you a
full description of the White House, if
my short-haired sister gets well. She is
on the lift; caught cold. —I went to the
Post building yesterday to see the so
ciety editor; found him a nice gentleman.
The paper owns the building. It is
worth SBOO,OOO. Went over to report a
wedding that I was at; will send you a
paper with description. —Does everybody
in Georgia take yourpaper? I get letters
every day from some one who saw
through your paper that lam in Wash
ington.—Tell Miss C , of Dunn, Ga., the
grass seed will be sent. —I have about
got a place for one of dur friends. Posi
tion all O. K. And tell the boys not to
lush me too fast. Tell Mr. Lowry, the
looks he wants me to send are in this
wilding; will see Mr. Maddox to-morrow,
will do all I can for my friends; just
give me time. There is one thing that
the Dalton folks ought to quit. That is
this: If Mr. B wants a place, and you
want him to have it, sign it and stand
your hand; not sign for ten others for
the same place. How can your congress
man tell who you want, or Grover
Cleveland, or anybody else? From this
time on pick out your man and stand by
him, sink or swim.—l send you clippings
from the Post about the wedding, and
tell you who they are: The lady, Miss
Burtis, owns the finest farm in
I Wisconsin; keeps the best of Kentucky
"full-blooded. Her barn cost $60,000, the
in the state. She also owns the
Spring Bank Hotel. This beautiful
hotel is situated on the LaCrosse divi
sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railroad on Lake Oconomavee, three
miles from the city bearing that name.
It is easy of access, fine fishing, good
scenery, and everything else. She in
vited me to come to see her and stay
twelve months, and she would let me
drive her fine $1,500 Kentucky mare.
She is a lovely lady. Her husband is a
large land owner near Milwaukee and a
nice gentleman. I send you a picture
of her home; aiso his card. Please send
three copies of your paper to Mrs. I. A.
Burtis, Okanchee, Wis., and two copies
to I I. Hos, 117 W. Water street, Mil
waukee, Wis. Find enclosed money to
pay for same —Went over to the capitol
today and heard Senator Gorman speak.
He is a good speaker. Saw Hon. John
W. Maddox: He went into the hall and
got Mr Black to come out and see me.
1 like Mr. Black, and Georgia must keep
him here. Saw Gen Gordon to day for
the first time. —Good night. Love to all
friends. Lank.

Something About Tobacco Culture*
Tobacco has been found a better
paying crop than cotton in South
Georgia. The Americus Titnes-Re
corder reports that the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad sold recently
to a North Carolina tobacco factory
20,000 pounds of tobacco, raised at its
Cycloueta farm, for 6| cents a pound
on the farm. The land produced 700
to 1000 pounds per acre, and the cost
of production was about S3O ger acre.
That means the profit per acre was
about. $25 —a much better figue than
has been realized from cotton this
season. It is said that some of the
tobacco lands in South Georgia have
produced 1,200 pounds to the acre,
which would mean a profit, at 6|c a
pound, or about S4O per acre. One
or two counties in South Carolina are
making big money at tobacco raising.
Whitfield’s experiments in that line
have been more than successful, and
such as to induce others to go into
tobacco cult ure. In a few years, it
will be a leading product of Georgia.
