THE DALTON ARGUS, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1800. 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 ver special when it passed through 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. “She she has made more than one string to her bow. As lightly she dances and sings; And the truth of her statement I very well know. For he’s tied to her apron strings.” The Argus is indebted to Mr. S. T. Parker for some very nice toma toes. The melon growers mean business by their present movement in regard to securing better freight rates, or stopping the growing of the fruit. They organized a Union Sun day School at Waring last Sunday, with Mrs. John Chitwood, as leader, and had a goodly number present. Its prospects are considered quite flattering. A Columbus merchant filled an order the other day from a Texas town for a man who had read his advertisement in an Enquirer-Sun of three yesrs ago. There is no tell ing when nor from what source an ad. in a good paper will get in its work. Dalton has now an eye, ear and throat specialist of its own. Dr. Glenn McAfee has just finished a special course in this line in New York and is prepared to treat even the most difficult cases, as he Jias studied the very latest discoveries in that line. He solicits your pat ronage. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church held its regular Sunday school services last Sunday morning, but no church services on account of the absence of its pastor. Mr. Swaim returned from his vacation this week, and will hold regular services Sun day, to which all are cordially in vited. United States Deputy Marshal Bob Gudger, Saturday night, cap tured the two McKeehau brothers, with a whiskey wagon out in the woods beyond Luke Callaway’s, re tailing “the ardent.” Commissioner Tom R. Jones bound one of them over, and turned the other loose. Jace Robison, Charlie Maddox, Gus Pierce, Billie Johnson, James P. and George Kelly, Frank Vonburg, Joe Henry, Harry Peeples and a number of others all took their fami lies, fat meat, cold bread, skillets and onions and went on a big fishing ex pedition Wednesday.—Spring Place Jimplecute. According to a local article in a Sa vannah paper it is a foolish piece of business to travel to the Klondike in search of gold when a man can start a loan office in Savannah. In a case investigated by the Press a negro wo man borrowed of a loan office $5 two years ago, and has been paying SI.BO per month ever since. Up to date she has paid $50.40 for the sum of $5. Mrs. Chas. H. Mitchell died last Saturday, in her 43rd year, of mala rial fever, and was buried Sunday in the family burying ground, Rev. H. D. Keith officiating. She was Miss Lizzie Black, a daughter of Ham Black, and leaves a husband and two girls, aged seven and'nine years, be hind her. She was a good woman, and had a large circle of friends. The Argus extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. The Argus received an anony mous communication this week, which is consigned to the waste bas ket after tearing it into very small pieces. It contained a good deal of personal criticism of Daltonians, some just and some unjust—such stuff as The Argus never prints un 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 to it. Harper & Brothers announce for publication The Letters of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, written to his wife from the different prisons in which he was confined; A Prince of Geor gia, a volume of short stories by Julian Ralph ; and The Gulistan, or Garden of Roses, being a translation from the Persian in prose and verse by Sir Edwin Arnold. The Gulistan is considered the greatest of the Per sian classics, and was written about 1255 by Sheikh Sa’di of Shiraz. The following is from a recent is sue of one of the Weatherford, Texas, papers. Dr. Heartsill and his wife both have many warm friends in this section, who deeply sympathize with them in their affliction: “Wil liam Hiram, the bright little ten year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. W. A.

D. Knickerbocker of the first M. E. church of this city. The New Leader deeply sympathizes with the bereaved family in this their hour of affiction, and points them for consolation to Him who “doeth all things well.” Rev. J. V. M. Morris conducted no services at the North Hamilton Street Methodist Church Sunday. He began a protracted meeting Sat urday, and ran it through Sunday, on up to Wednesday, when it closed. The rains so much interfered with the attendance that little was effec ted, except a revival and refreshing of the few who attended regularly. Marshal Bob Gudger and Deputy- Sheriff Bill Mitchell caught Ed Donohue in Atlanta, this week, and brought him to Dalton and turned him over to Sheriff Johnson. Dono hue was wap ted on several blind ti ger true bills, some five or six years old. He has many friends in Dalton, who believe in his innocence and who do all they can to get him out. 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.” DeWitt’s Little Early Risers benefit permanently.

IS IT RIGHT For an Editor to Kfcoininenrt Patent 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 Bryant & Fincher. How’s This?

Headache stopped in 2t> minutes by Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills. “One cent a dose. 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 may behold wonderous things out of th y 1a w. ’ ’ CUBAN OIL cures ■ ■Wlllvl v Cuts, Burns, Bruises, Rheu matism and Sores. Price, 25 cents.
