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.

SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1895: “LANK" GETS HOT Becan*? Daltonian* Recommend Ev erybody—He Think* the World Read* The Argnn. 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.

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. - Johnson’s Magnetic Oil used exter nally will bring refreshing sleep to the wnkefrrl. Bryant <fc Fincher.
