Lust Wednesday morning, after a brief
illness, she passed from earth to the
“beautiful beyond.”
Thursday morning, as er appropriate
services conducted by Brother Keith,
her remains were laid to rest in Dawn

express the deep sorrow which tills our
hearts.
“A precious one from us is gone,

LITTLE LOCAL LINES.
What Has Been Going On the Part
Week Briefly Told.
There was a dellghful festival at
Rushton'sChapel,tl>e past week,and
everybody had a good time.
Tom M. Felker has made some
handsome improvements in the
Lowry Drug Company’s store.
Dr. John F. Harris has begun the
erection of another pretty cottage—
on the corner of Waugh and Selvldge
Streets.
Bev. Walter Lingle closed a very
successful revival meeting at Union
Point this week, numbering over a
score of conversions and accessions.
Thetlleingat the entrance of the
Hardwick building is the prettiest
ever seen in Dalton—giving these
stores a very handsome appearance.
There were sixty excursionists
aboard the Western & Atlantic Ep
worth League and Christian Endea

Dalton.
The “Huckleberry” hog race did
not come off Tuesday evening.
That’s not so bad; such a class of
entertainment is calculated to make
even white wings grow weary.
The Mayor’s Court Monday night
disposed of nearly a dozen of Satur
day night’s “drunk and disorderlys.”
A whiskey wagon hit town, and sev
eral of the “never misses” got tanked
up.
Misses Lillie Hurt, Nora Finley,
Dessie Leonard, Emma Wilson, and
Messrs. Finley, Durrar, Wilson and
Huffaker formed a pleasant party,
who went to Bartley Falls, from
Cohuttah Springs last Tuesday.
The conference of the African
Methodist Church, Marietta district,
was in session in Dalton several days
this week, and Charley Callion says
“de colored preacher loves chicken
jes de same as de white preacher.”
Married, at Union Point, last Sat
urday night, Mr. Samuel Chastain to
Miss Cecil Thrailkill, Rev. W. L.
Lingle officiating. It was a love
match —a union of 20 and 16. The
Argus extends its heartiest congrat
ulations to the young couple.
An exchange in a town not far
away, printed an item to the effect
that a certain resident, whose name
he did not mention, had better stop
kissing his hired girl or it might be
found out. Twenty-seven married
men called on the editor and imme
diately stopped their paper and ac
cused him of Interfering in their do
mestic affairs.
The Minister’s Association met in
Dr. Fitch’s study on Monday morn
ing at nine. Revs. Fitch, Johnson
and Lingle were present. Each
made a report of his work and his
sermons on Sunday. This was fol
lowed by an informal discussion on
several topics suggested by the ser
mons. Upon this Mrs. Fitch ap
peared with a waiter of luscious
grapes; these put the brethren in a
mood for reminiscence. Mr. Lingle
told of his first marriage last Satur
day night at Union Point. Dr. Fitch
proceeded to give his first experience
at marrying a couple which was
amusing enough. Then Mr. John
son capped the climax with his first
experience. The Association voted
him the palm. The truth is Mr.
Johnson’s first experience makes a
romance that would be worthy of the
pen of our Dalton authors. It was
down in the backwoods of Arkansas.
The groom was a widower with
eight children. The bride was a
widow with seven children. And
the most ludicrous part was that the
whole ceremony had to be done over
again by a magistrate, for brother
Johnson had never had his license
as a minister recorded as required
by the laws of Arkansas. The As-
to meet in Dr.
Fitch’s study next Monday at nine.
There were some surprised looking
citizens in two of the Dalton churches
last Sunday morning. Without any
previous announcement or malice
afore thought Revs. Johnson and
Lingle decided to exchange pulpits.
So when the good brethren of the
Presbyterian church were seated
waiting for the appearance of their
pastor, they were amazed no little
to see Brother Johnson march in and
take his place. But predestination
Presbyterians are not easily discon
certed, so they quickly took in the
situation, and joined heartily in the
services led by Rev. Johnson. He
preached a good sermon, as usual,
indeed one of his best. The Presby
terians were delighted. His text
was from Matthew vi, 25: Mr. John
son filled his own pulpit Sunday
night, preaching from Psalms cxix,
92-93. The Methodists were equally
surprised to see Brother Lingle bob
up in their pulpit. But our brethren
who believe in failing from grace are
not usually dismayed when the un
expected happens. So it was only a
few moments until they had joined
as heartily in the service as if their
own pastor had been leading. Mr.
Lingle preached on the duty of pray
ing for your pastor. His text was
llThess? iii, 1: The success of the
Apostle Paul is wonderful. What
were the elements of his power?
There were many elements, but per
haps there was nothing that gave
him so much power as the fact that
the whole Christian church was
praying for him. In every Epistle
he asks their prayers. He asks their
prayers in the text. If Paul needed
the prayers of God’s people how
much more do we frail mortals need
them. Ist, Paul asked that they pray
for his personal safety—that his life
should be spared. So people should
pray that the life and health of their
pastor should be spared and that
physical strength is tremendous,
—Alcaria
Her Teacher.
more than his people dream of. 2nd,
Paul asked that they pray that a
inesage be given him and boldness
to speak it. 3rd, He asks them to
pray that he may magnify Christ in
his personal life. 4th, He asks them
to pray that that the Holy Sprlrit
may be given him and that his
preaching may be in power. Are
we praying for our pastor or are we
criticizing hiin’instead. Destructive
criticism is cheap. Ten cents worth
of dynamite will shatter a handsome
edifice from foundation to doom. So
a little cheap criticism will destroy
the influence of a pastor. Mr. Lingle
made such a plea for the preachers
that some of the brethren were in
clined to to think he and Brother
Johnson were in collusion, but he
declares brother Johnson did not have
the remotest idea what he was going
to preach about. People, preachers
and all were well pleased wPh the
interchange and hope that it will be
made again some day.

The Argus received an anony
mous communication this week,
which is consigned to the waste bas

pieces. It contained a good deal of
personal criticism of Daltonians,
some just and some unjust—such

less for pay over the signature of a
responsible person. When you want
to vent your spleen, come across
with the money and put your name

Harper’s Bazar for the current
week gives some excellent ideas on
the preservation of cut flowers.
Merely putting the stems into water
is apparently not sufficient, and with
a little more care even the most
perishable blossoms may be pre
served. “All leaves should be re
moved from the part of the flower
stem that is to lie underneath the
water,” says the Bazar, “otherwise
these sodden leaves decay and make
the water offensive. Every day the
flowers must be carefully lifted from
the water, and the eighth of an inch
cut with sharp scissors from the end
of the stem. The vase must then be
emptied, washed out, and refilled
with fresh water.”

Medicine 7
From Sylvan Valley New. Brevrad, N. C.
It may be a question whether the ed
itor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of stiflering
we feel it a <lnty to say a good word for
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have alwavs found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hotirs of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do be
lieve that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by

The First Baptist.
The Sunday school at the First
Raptist church numbered 129, and
the enthusiasm was up to the usual
standard. At the morning service,
the pastor gave the first of a series of
sermons on “Foundation Doctrines,”
the special subject being “The Ex
istence of God.” The preacher said,
in part, that we cannot go to the
Bible for proof of the Divine exis
tence, for the Bible nowhere stops to
prove it. To do this would be to go
by the whole question. We claim
that the Bible is God’s revelation;
to make it the witness to prove
that God exists would be utterly
illogical. We must prove God’s ex
istence from other testimony. And
yet the Bible is full of the Divine
existence; not by proving it, but by
taking it for granted. The very
strongest proof one could furnish of
my belief in the existence of Dalton,
would be to write a history of it. So
God’s existence is taken for granted
by all the inspired writers, assuming
that no man would be so abnormal in
his intelligence as to raise the ques
tion, whether it be true. We look for
the proof of the existence of God,
therefore, not Revelation, but in
nature. The argument is, that
wherever there is design there must
be a designer. Hethen took up the
various phases of nature—from the
vast universe, to a little grain of
wheat and from the evident design
in all its parts, a possession of cer
tain valuable properties and sowers
that all the scientests in the world
cannot impart to them. Who can
make an eye that can see—or a
grain of wheat that can grow? To
say that all these came by chance or
circumstance, only makes it worse;
for that is to admit that chance pos
sesses more wisdom and skill, than
all the wise men in art, science and
mechanism combined. No there is
but one solution of this great prob
lem of the universe, of which man
forms so insignificant apart, viewed
from creation’s standpoint, and that
is that there is God, the creator
and ruler of all things. As the
poet so truly puts it:
’’Nature with open volume stands
To spread her maker’s praise abroad
And every labor of his hands
Shows something worthy of a God.”
The B. Y. P. U. meeting at 7 p. in.
was well attended —the largest num
ber present this young society has
yet had. The meeting was very in
teresting, and the members much
enthused. The sermon atßp. m. was
from Psalms cxix, 18: “Open thou
mine eyes that I may behold won
drous things out of thy law.” By
the term “law” here, the preacher
explained that there is meant the
word of God,as there possessed; and
the text is a prayer for divine en
lightenment to understand it. He
took up three points, implied in the
text and enlarged on them. Ist, The
Bible is a revelation of wonderful
wisdom, wonderful power, wonder
ful mercy and love. 2nd, The nat
ural man is largely incapable of com
prehending its blessed teachings,
because of the blindness of sin. 3rd ,
This blindness can only be removed
by divine power. Hence the prayer
of the text “Open mine eyes that I
