From the Nhllmhl Coplinl.
Washington, D. C., January 20. — We
are having a hiiow storm thia morning,
and everything looks gloomy—Dr. W.
B. McKnight came in from New York
yesterday morning and spent the day in
our city. He cam« over to see me; I met
him at the hotel in the evening, and had
a nice time with him Italwavs makes
me feel Iwnely after one of my Dalton
friends leave He gave me all the news
from home. He now has a fine position
with one of Philadelphia’s largest firms;
so I hope to Bee him often.—Congress is
dragging along slowly; not doing much.
You know the next Democratic Conven
tion will meet at (Chicago, July 7 ; who
will get the nomination, the Lord only
knows Os course, the lucky man will be
elected. We have hut little politics up
here; all quiet on the Potomac.—l think
the pictures in Ihe Ahiius are all good.
Say to Mr. Cappes, I sent Th k Argus with
his picture marked, Io Mrs. Vonestress
Bob Ralston’s picture reminds me of “Sit
ting Bull ” I know Bob will makeagood
marshal; and when be gets his new
Louse finished be must give the boys
and girls a big party —Was glad to hear
of my friend, J. W. Webb’s marriage. He
is a No. I man, and has a charming wife.
1 want Sam Hackett to keep cool and try
Atlanta again.—I was sorry to hear of the
misfortune of ’Squire Barnett's little boy;
hope he w ill get well.—l move that when
Miss Jennie returns to Georgia, that we
give her banquet. I will send Capt. Cox
the prize to give her.—l hope Miss
Frankie Hall will give us some more
poetry. — Has my friend, Sam Farnsworth
named bis boy yet? 1 would like to see his
and Sam Lovemaii’s boys; I know they
are pretty and sweet. — lam proud of my
young friend, Morris Love. His ode to
our ex Police is fine; he must join the
dotters. Also we welcome Bro Matthews;
just see what crowds go to hear him
preach; and it would be that way in
Washington,if he was here.—l have heard
that our friend, Chas. T. Williams may
run tor the Legislature; if elected, he
would make t> No. I legislator. So if it
goes to Tunnell Hill, what say you to
giving it to him ? There is plenty of good
timber; Clements, Foster, Cherry.
Will our friend, Longley run again?—l
was sorry to learn of the death of Pierce
Land; he was a man that I always liked.
1 endorse all Mr. Oxford said about Bro.
Gilbert. He always kept his titles clear
to a better world than this; and now he
has taken possession of the inheritance.
1 do hope our Cedar Ridge dotter will still
give us her interesting letters; she al
ways says something good ; and we feel
better after reading her letters.—How
glad I would be to meet Jesse Glaze, of
Illinois.—O, how I would like to have
been at the dotters’ dinner. I did not
know the date when it came off. Tell
Bro. McNabb to send me the piece w ritten
by Mrs Walker, and 1 will see that Dr.
Talmage gets it.— Hon. John W. Maddox
came over to the Interior Department
several times last week ; he is always wel
comed by Secretary Smith and all others.
His' home for the winter is at 103 4 street
N. W. Dick Maddox, his son and pri
vate secretary, came to Washington with
him; he is a bright, smart boy, and no
member of congress has a brighter sec
retary. Keep your eye on Dick; he will
get there. L. W. Barrett.

Cedar Ridge.
Cedar Ridge, January 21. We are
always glad of the coming of The Argus,
as it is always laden with so many good
letters from all over the country, and
even Texas and other points, where many
of our friends have gone. Truly, it is a
pleasure to us. Rev. Foster tilled his
appointment at Harmony Sunday, and
preached a good sermon to an attentive
audience. Mrs Randolph and Charles
Foster are on the sick list, but trust we
will be able in our next to write better
things of them. James Richardson has
moved from our community. Sorry to
give him and his estimable wife up.
Prof. Richardson has a flourishing school
at Center \ alley. We had quite a nice
little singing at our home Sunday after
noon. Prof. Douglas conducted the mu
sic Miss Bird Norman visited us last
week George Dillard and wife visited
Mrs. Simpson a few days since. There
must be some attraction in the Pine Grove
settlement for Charles 8., as lie visits
there so often. Wonder who it is ? Erwin
Duckett was to see his best girl Sunday
evening, dee Dillard thinks Bro. Me
Nabb has the smartest little dog—never
gets to a ph ce be can’t hack out.

J. KIRK FARRAR.
The Capable Vtaiiaglug Head of lhe
Farrar I.omber Company.
James Kirkpatrick Farrar was born at
Evergreen, Appomattox county, Virginia,
February 7th, 1871. His father at that
time was engaged in the lumber loisimss
at Farrarville, Ala. His father moved to
Farrarville and lived there until he
W
GENERAL MANAGER J. K. FARRAR,
moved to Dalton, where he spent the re
maining years of his life, rearing one
daughter and five sons, Kirk being the
middle man, there being two older and
two younger brothers.
Young Farrar only received a common school
education. Preferring a practical business expe
rience, be quit school and entered the lumber
business, and wishing to know it all. he
slarted at the bottom loading cars and filling
different positions in the mill until he was ca
pable of taking lite place of foreman, then he was
taken into the office to learn the duties there;
then lie was put on the road to sell lumber,
making his first trip at the age of 19. For awhile
tie assisted in the wholesale office of the com
pany at Middlesborough, Ky., and also assisted
in the management of their branch planing mill
at Chattanooga, being very successful in all his
undertakings, and in 1892 he was given the states
of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Ken
tucky to travel, which he worked to the entire
satisfaction of his company, and in all his sales
,, .
S r
W. B. FARRAR. FOUNBER.
only lost $3.00 in bad debts, which amount the
customer contended had been paid to an agent
of the company.
At the age of 23 he succeeded his deceased
father as president of the company, and at tbe
same time took charge of the estate as one of the
executors, and with the aid of his able assistants,
is doing n splendid business.
He was blest with Christian parents whenever
failed to bring up their children in the way they
should go; his good mother taught them to say
their pravers when quite young, and always had
them at Sunday school; and they were rewarded
by seeing them all converted at an early age,
Kirk being only 11 years old when converted.
He was secretary of the Sunday school for sev
eral years, and now is assistant superintendent,
clerk otthe First Baptist church aud holds other
various offices of the church.
He is mi Argus dotter, and a member of the
North Dalton Fire Department, which is recog
nized as one of the best companies in the city.
In all his undertakings he realizes the need of
God's help, and never receives a blessing in any
way without thanking God for it. With such
men in charge, the Farrar Lumber Co. has a
bright future it. Mr. Farrar is now absent in
Virginia, and is loading his firm down with
numerous tine orders.
We all know that any tired muscle
cati be restored by rest. Your stom
ach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its
manner of saying “I am tired. Give
me rest.” To rest the stomach you
must do its work outside of the body.
This is the Shaker’s method of cur
ing indigestion, and its success is
best attested by the fact tluse people
are practically free from what is
doubt the most prevalent of all dis
eases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
not only contains digested food which
is promply absorbed without taxing
the tired digestive organs, but it is
likewise an aid to the digestion of
other foods in the stomach. A 10
cent trial bottle will covince you of its
merit, and these you can obtain
through all druggists.
LAXOL is the best medicine for
