r THE ARGUS; DALTON. GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1895.
TWO GOOD MEN.
(lolli Self-Marte Men of Serve. Pluck
and Writ—The Argun iw Proud of
Them
Thk Argus today presents to its read
ers the handsome features of Whitfield’s
new sheriff, John Madison Johnson, of
I Cedar Ridge. This popular democrat
was born in the “Shuckpen” District of
Murray county, December 4th, 1857,
making him fust 37 years old. His par
ents were Daniel and Mary Jane John
son. Rev. Daniel Johnson, his father,
was a Methodist preacher of great power
ami renown in his day, and his name
was a household word in his section.
He left his son the heritage of an honor
able name and a Godly, upright train
ing.
John M. Johnson was born on a farm,
reared on a farm, and has lived on a
farm all his life. He has been actively
engaged in farming all his life, except
during his school hours at the “Old
SHERIFF JOHNSON.
Woodlawn Academy.” He may truly
be said to be a thorough, “all-round, all
over” farmer, who has made a success of
farming.
He moved to Whitfield county in the
fall of 1874. bought a farm near Oedar
Ridge, in Fincher’s district, and has
lived there until a few days ago,
when he sold his farm to C. C. Summey
and moved to Dalton. .
In March, 1878, he married Miss Ce
lestia C. Chastain, a daughter of that
sturdy farmer, A. A. Chastain, of Cedar
Ridge. Two children have blessed their
union—a boy now 11 years old and a girl
13 years old.
Mr. Johnson is a new citizen of
whom Dalton is justly proud. His
landsome majority over another popu
ar and clever man in the election just
over, attests his popularity and working
ability, and The Argus joins the rest of
his friends in predicting that he will
make one ol the best sheriffs Whitfield,
ever had. *
DaviA Wright Mitchell.
Every man, woman and child in Wllit
lield knows “Uncle Davy” Mitchell, of
Cedar Ridge, the universally liked Tax
Collector of Whitfield county. He ha s
been a familiar figure in Whitfield for
years and years, and has the respect and
esteem of all who know him.
David Wright Mitchell was born Janu
ary 6th, 1835, in Franklin county, Ga.,
just across the Savannah river from South
Carolina —as “Uncle Davy” puts it* “I
could have been born in South Carolina
had I wanted to, but I preferred Old
Georgia for my native state.” His father
and mother, James and Lucy Mitchell,
came to Whitfield, then a part of Murray,
in 1845, when little David was just ten
years old, and settled at a point about

TAX COLLECTOR MITCHELL,
four miles south of Dalton. “Uncle
Davy” was reared on a farm, and has
been a farmer all the days of his life ; he
received only the most primitive old
field education of those primitive days,
as he says “never having studied arith
metic in a school but one week in my
life.” His education was the handiwork
of his own hands, and was acquired by
patient self-application.
April Bth, 1855, when just 20 years
old, Mr. Mitchell married Miss Mary
Brumblow, and nine children have
blessed their union, eight of whom still
live and claim Whitfield as their home.
They are all honorable and useful citi
zens. “Uncle Davy” moved to the
Cedar Ridge neighborhood October Ist,
1857, and has been living at his present
home since 1861.
Mr. Mitchell has been twice elected
Tax Collector, in the last race leading
the democratic ticket, and polling a
largely increased vote over his vote of
1893, despite the heavy snow storm that
fell last election day. That fact alone is
the highest testimonial as to his effi
ciency and courtesy as a county official,
many populists voting for the ’man des
pite the bitter camp.-.ign waged against
the democratic candidates.
Whitfield county is proud of “Uncle
Davy,” both as citizen and official, and
Whitfield democracy is proml of him as
one of its successful standard-bearers.
