The modern Greek seems to be uh fine a sprinter as his ancient ancestor was a warrior. No, Pauline; The Ahoub is not taking any great stock in polities just now—it is laboring under a great big temporary feeling of disgust. “Where is Heaven?” excitedly in quires a South Georgia editor. What do you want to know that (or? South Geor gia had better reml up on slteol. Senator Guy, of the New York legisla ture, has introduced a bill to prevent bar gain day advertising. His name suits him. He is a regular guy. All the foolish legis lators don’t live in Kansas. Sokosis recently discussed the question, “Have we any American literature, or is our literature merely a reflection of for eign influence?” Sorosis had better look out. Even woman can become dry and uninteresting. Young Tom Jonkh got stuck-up during his stay on the Atlanta Constitution, lie came in this week and suggested that we have the office towel washed. Tom ought not to try to inaugurate new-fangled, aristocratic ideas in Dalton. Tub largest and handsomest college auditorium in the country lias been com pleted in Gainesville, and will be dedi cated “to the women of the south” next week. Hurrah for Gainesville,ami “Hip, hip hurrah” for the women of the south The Argus again urges its correspond ents to write on one side of the paper only. Several sent in pieces lately, writ ten on both sides, and unless we are very flush of time to spate, they are necessa rily consigned to the waste basket. He member that. They say Cogressman Jim Griggs is sending hie constituents free cotton seed that are as bald headed as a door-knob ami rattle in a sack like peas. We were served better than that—(wo senatorsand one congressman sent us a lot of onion seed each, and, what’s more, some of them come up. A lady in Boston has been lecturing on the subject of onions, declaring that if eaten liberally, particularly in the spring, the body is etlecutually protected against disease,. — Rome Argus. We are inclined to think she is right. It would be areckl’ss old disease that would tackle a woman with an onion breath. The Argus, and the whole people of Whitfield county, sympathize with E litor Henry A. Wrench, of the Brunswick Advertiser, and his family, in the death of Mrs. Wrench. The family is much beloved in North Georgia, and we all mourn with them. Mrs. Wrench was a most excellent woman, and was dearly loved in Dalton. The Georgia public school system is far from perfect. But it is the best school system Georgia has ever had, and should receive the encor’agement of all good citizens. Those who do not like it are not obliged to patronize it, and those who need free education cm get it. Even a num like Sam Jones, who is fanatically op posed to public schools on general prin ciples, is obliged to admit the advantage of that. OVR KDUCATIOMAI. COI.UMM. On page 7, of this issue, will be found the introductory installment of the Ed ucational Department of the Lesche. The Argus hopes every man, woman and child in Whitfield county will read it carefully and thoughtfully. It is an earn est of some extra fine work of the iadies, and of a great benefit to the teachers, pupils, and people nt large, of the entire county and section. In this column, from time to time, may appear some opinions of writers (though written in a good cause) that the ladies themselves do not endorse, and some that do not fully coincide with the edi tor’s views— though he would come pretty near endorsing anythingany good woman would write, whether he agreed witli her or not. But he knows nil these ladies to be good, zealous and earnest, and he en dorses their every effort, and proposes to give them, and the teachers of our comity, every possible encouragement. Ihe Ar gus is going to stick to them, and stand up for them, as it has upheld and will up hold.'every good cause. And it wants you to help them and co operate with them. This federation work is a great thing for Georgia ; it is going to accomplish wonders. Yon who have been accustomed to sneer at tlie efforts of woman, can mark The A nous’ prediction : These good women of Georgia are going to revolutionize, vastly benefit, bioaden and greatly improve the educational sys tem of our state. They have God, Ini inanity mid charily on their side; they are doing a work of love, and when so engaged have ten times the zeal, devo tion, energy and self sacrifice of men. Give them your warm encouragement and help. Nashville is to be congratulated upon the auspicious, grand opening of her I centennial. Thk greatest drawback to doing away ; with the switch in our schools is that i paddles do not grow on trees, and shingles I are too costly for the teacher to always | keep a bunch on hand. The Dingley bill, or rather what little of it there Was left, wan reported by the senate committee Tuesday. The senate seems to have a knife up its sleeve for Dingley and McKinley. The charges of heresy against Rev John Watson, D. D , or "lan Maclaren,” as lie it better known, have been r.jected by the Presbyterian synod of England. The many Admirers of “A’ Hoot, Inn” in this country njoice in the decision. The Book Commission, appointed by Gov. Atkinson to revise the text books and adopt a uniform system, will hold i s first meeting in Macon this month. It is a work that will seiiously affect the en tire public school si stem ol Georgia. An exchange correctly puts it thus: Two republican mottoes: Increase the numhei of offices and pay larger salaries : That’s economy. Tax the many lor the fattening of the lew : That’s the way to make the country iicli. A New York paper says Senator Steve Clay “eats pie with a knife.” This is a j base slander. No Marietta man eats pie : with a knife. The Marietta man grabs the ' whole pie with both hands, and bites chunk by chunk, devouring three pies to the minute. It looks like Augusta is sure to have a I negro postmaster. It is hard on Augusta, | but it is just on those democrats who ran ■ offend voted for McKinley Inst full. They forgot for a moment what republicanism meant, but this will bring them to their senses. The next election in Georgia will show the biggest democratic majority in a half dozen years. Sam Jones says a boy’s hide is the best way to reach him. Sum’s wrong. It’s the best way to reach some few boys. But most of our boys are manly little fel lows, and are best reached by other means. All the more reason why a teach er should be possessed of rare ability to learn boys and their character, and know when to apply the rod. Isn’t it about time for John Temple Graves to break out again ?—LaGrange Graphic. Break out of what ? Johnny lias never broken in, and that’s what’s the matter with him I If Johnny was to break into a good hit office just once for a change, we believe he’d stop kicking. Mrs. Nobles has a new lease on life and there is no telling the end. Her hired accomplice has been promised his life as j long as hers is spared. They are both guilty, as no one doubts. This nil being true will the governor sit still when the good people lynch the next murderer? i Will the judge and solicitor keep their mouths shut the first murderer they find i hanging to a tree? Will the law be of fended when the next rapist is hanged?— ! Adairsville Banner. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve Cures Piles, Scalds, Burns. THE DALTON ARGUS. (lilt COXFIDEIH-TE 81. 111. Next Thursday afternoon, all Dalton will unite in showing respect for the memory for those, heroes of the “Lost Cause” who lie buried in West Hid cem etery—in honoring the glorious history of the martyrs who died for the grey. The loving hands of our noble women will strew their graves with flowers, and water them with their tears, and their surviving comrades will vie with each other in bestowing deserved homage upon the sacred memory of the gallant lads who lie beneath the green sward. A de vout man of God, in eloquent pathos, will recount the glory of their deeds, praise their virtues and point the lesson of their sacrifice for the emulation of all future generations. 'The younger people of the generation that has grown up since, will join hands with the grizzled veter ans who took part in the events of those days that tried men souls, mid do honor to the brave men who fell in defense of borne, family and the right. As the editor of Thk Ahuus has most emphatically declared before, it is good that it is so. He hopes and prays Hint he may never see the hour when the south ron will cease to honor the memory of the valor mid chivalry that has made the glory of the Confederate arms one of the brightest pages in American history. .Since the day on which the grand old “Hero of Appomattox,” Robert E. Lee, the great soldier the world has known, surrendered to the numberless horde that overpowered his few half-starved, but knightly and princely followers, the memory of the southern dead has been one nearest his heart—most deeply im i bedded in bis affections. The story of their heroism ie a blessed tradition—the glory of their valor an eternal pride to us all. Let us honor our heroes; reverence their memory ; bedeck Dieir graves; ex tol their valor to the skies; sing their praises and chant their glory ; eLed tears of sweet, true grief to their beloved mem ory. They are our noble dead; let us nol ly do them honor. True, ours is a "Lost Cause,” but the memory of the glorious, honorable fight > (or our rights is a blessed heritage that I all the powers of earth cannot take from 1 ns. i Let us all eternally green ! Monday •’*' The reunion of the United Confederate ■ Veterans, nt Nashville, during the month ; oi June (official notice on page 9, this j issue), will, it is believed, be the greatest of all gatherings of ex-Confederates. Os I this organization there are now about 900 i camps, distributed as follows: Northeast i Texas division, 81; west Texas division, 55; southwest Texas division, 33; south i east Texas division, 31; northwest Texas division. 17 total, Texas, 217 ; Alabama, 89; South Carolina, 81; Missouri, 71; Misi-issippi, 63; Arkansas, 59; Georgia, 158; Louisiana, 51; Kentucky, 39; Ten I nessee, 34; Virginia, 34; Florida, 30; Nortli Carolina, 29; Indian Territory, 12; West Virginia, 11; Oklahoma, 6; Mary land, 6; New Mexico, 3; Illinois, 2; Montana, 2;.lndiana, 1; District of Co lumbia, 1; California, 1. You can see from that “what a gathering there will be.” Puck, the great “funny paper,” tells this wonderful truth: “If, on the issues of the day, politicians only made fools of | themselves there would be no great loss or harm dene. The (rouble is that they make fools of other people.” Correct;) except the use of the word “made.” Na ture made fools both ot the politicals and of the people they can fool. Hl I ONE NATIBFA* riOX. Waiting at a railway station the other day, we overheard a conversation between . three or four gentlemen sitting a little! way from us. The theme was the diffi-- j \ culty in satisfying the wants of men. Fi milly one of the number remarked that ; it was impossible to satisfy a man with the things of this world, for said he, ; ‘‘there is not enough in this world to sat isfy one num.” This is an old truth, which it is very hard indeed to get even a few people to recognize, though we felt no little surprise in hearing it expressed where we did. The mind and the soul life of mankind is starving, and there is no end of trouble and restlessness among ; the people, because they are all the time trying to feed their souls on the things of this world. But men will go on in the siune old folly of trying to feed on husks. Why should rational beingsnot recognize once and forever that human nature has a divine relationship, and Hint it is folly to try to satisfy it with anything but God? Such a recognition, we know, would be a great revolution ; but it would be the revolution that we are are needing now above all things. There is satisfac faction for idl of the uurestabout us—and but one satisfaction —that of being filled with the fullness of God. —Wesleyan Christian Advocate. Fancy Lemons, at Buchholz’. lIEBEKVED PRAISE. “Bill Arp” has been over into Soutli Carolina, and in bis rounds he took in Newberry, and, of course, like everybody who goes to Newberry, he was obliged to meet our old friend, Elbert H, Aull, of the Herald News. “Bill Arp” says: “Newberry is a gem of a city and its population perhaps ie more cultured and refined than any city of South Carolina. The professors of her college and high school, her lawyers, doctors and preach ers and editors are all gentlemen, not on ly in manners, but at heart. The stand ard of good citizenship is high, and the influence of her leading men pervades the entire community. Mr. Aull, the editor of The News-Herald, is perhaps the best all round man for his work to be found, for lie is not only a man of high culture, but is eminently a practical newspaper man and is devoted to bis calling. He has written a history of his state, and it is the standard in the schools. Two of liis boys, aged ten and twelve, are at work in the printing room, and do good service. Mr. Aull ie not at all reconciled to the modern system of grading the schools so that it lakes eight years to go their courses. If four jeers more are, added for a college course there is no time left, for a boy to acquire u knowledge of work or habits of work. From eight j to twenty he is a nou producer, and when ■ he graduates is fit. only for the learned | professions, if fit for anything. But his boys have to mingle study with labor, and alternate the years of each. Mr. Anil is the president of the State Press Associ- . alien. ” Major Smith could not say too much in praise of Newberry, nor oi Brother Aull. As au old contemporary (the opposition paper in Newberry), the editor of Thk Argus was in the best possible position \ to judge and know him. He deserves everything Major Smith says about him, and more. Always courteous, pleasant,l honorable and just, he won those who were “agin” him, as well as those who were with him, and Hie entire citizenship respected and loved him. The editor of The Argus rejoices to hear of his prosperity. May his climb be ever upward and onward. His lines have certainly fallen in pleasant places, for Newberry is an ideal southern city. According to the war news sent out under Turkish influences, “the unspeak able Turk” is a Christian gentleman. One telegram says: “The Greek prisoners are well treated by the Turks. A Greek offi cer, who had been supplied with coffee and cigarettes, remarked to the corres pondent: ‘We were al ways told that the Turks were barbarous, but I should like to see more of this soi t of barbarity among Oir own people.’” This would be angel ic were it not for little items like this that creep into the war news sent out by the associated press: “After the battle the Tuiks gathered up the dead and wounded and piled them tog»-tlier in a nearby i church, locking the doors and setting die , to the building. The agonizing shrieks - of the helpless wounded as they were i burned alive could be heard for miles.” J You can take your choice. One is the I Mohammedan version, the other is the | Greek version. I.XJIM TO THE CALF. The editor of the Jaytown War whoop I picked up one of his metropolitan ex changes and read : “The charming soubrette, Eva Hollis Whopper, has just purchased a new bull dog.” “It’s dnrn funny,” he said to himself and the cat, “that these here city papers publish such stuff mid i lien make fun of me fer chronidiu the fact that Squire Jim i Brown’s cow had a calf.”—-Exchange. \\ hen a person begins to grow thin i there is something wrong.
