preparations to make the day one

way. We will expect an army of
not less than 2,000 at the least calcu

August I.—After an absence of a
week here I am again with a double
returning—the first back to The
Argus again—the second just home
> om the Fifth Sunday meetingof the
North Georgia Association, and feel
somewhat like a bee just from a
sweet garden of flowers with his
(or her) little cargo of honey ready
to deposit in the hive. ‘‘Behold, how
good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity.”
This meeting will be one of the most
memorable in the minds of many.
We had thirteen preachers from
hither and thither on the ground, and
their groans and amens as they
ascended the hill of the Lord was
almost enough to have shaken the
solid ground whereon they stood on
their knees. Praise the Lord for the
great blessings coming to so many
through the instrumentality of the
Fifth Sunday Meeting of the North
Georgia Association. I cannot tell
of the good things prepared nor the
the kindnesses extended to us by the
brethren and sisters of Little Pros
pect ch trch and vicinity. There was
a good meeting going on here when
I left, the final result I know not yet,
but if lasting good was not done it
will not be for the reason that there
was no good preaching done. Broth
ers Tyson and Mann were doing
good, faithful ministerial work, and
a great many good people had been
warmed over before I left.—There
have been a good many sick among
us of late. Sisters J. D. Lane and
T. M. Berry and others have been
very sick, but so far as known are
improving.—Enter the name of Rev.
J. M. Burnett on your list of sub
scribers, Mr. Editor, for six months,
and forward to him with this issue at
Cohutta. This good man and family
can’t do well without The Argus.

What Has Been Going On the Pas*

No man knows how successful he
will be in advertising until he tries.
The pesky’ little skeeter is next on
programme. May his life be short
and may he not prosper.
The Argus is indebted toS. T«
Parker for some nice roasting ears
anti grapes.
The last pay’ train of the Western
& Atlantic paid off its employes
almost entirely in gold, we are told.
This is an evidence that Wall Street
hasn’t got a corner on all the golc
after all.
If the lazy’ loafers around town
would only get to work for the town,
Dalton would soon be as large as At
lanta. Such fellows, instead of being
a help to the city, are a drawback
and hold the town back.
Last w eek, says an exchange, a de
linquent subscriber said he woulc
pay if he lived. He died. Another
said, “I’ll see you tomorrow’.” He’s
blind. Still another said: “I’ll pay
you this week or go to the devil.”
He’s gone.
The Auguta Chronicle thinks there
W’as a wave of devilment sweeping
over us during the awful hot weather.
There is always some excuse handy’
when a person has been committing
devilment. If it isn’t a physical in
firmity, it is the weather.
Ed Donohue gave bond, Tuesday
evening, for the appearance at Octo
ber Court, some of his most respon
sible men in town signing it. His
friends w’ere very active in his be
half, believing in his innocence and
sticking to their convictions.
The Argus has a good joke on one
of our Dalton preachers, but it is too
good to spring all at once on him.
It will have to hold it up over his
head, and keep him, like the Metho
dists say, on probation. If he walks
all right, The Argus may never
tell it.
Campbell and Cornelia Gray de
lightfully entertained tweny-flve of
their little friends Tuesday afternoon
from 5 till 7 o’clock. The little folks
enjoyed many games and their pretty
home on Thornton Avenue was the
scene of much merriment. Cake
and cream were served.
Dr. Sam Brown was a pleasant
caller at our office Tuesday. The
doctor is figuring on putting up a
flouring mill here or at his home in
Pleasant Valley. An industry of
this kind is badly needed in this
country and we hope he will decide
to build it. —Spring Place J implecute.
The Atlanta correspondent of
Dun’s Commercial Review reports
for the week: “Frequent rains and
good crop reports help trade, and a
moderate but satisfactory business is
done in dry goods. Shoes are quiet,
groceries and provisions are active,
and prices and sales hold up well in
lumber and hardware. In retail
trade there is a midsummer dullness,
with collections slow. Money is
easy and plenty.”
The Argus made a mistake last
week, iu crediting the arrest
of the Mckeehan Brothers
whiskey wagon to United States
Marshal BobGudger. City Marshals
Hannah and Fincher caught the
fellows in the act, and went for Bob
Gudger because they had to have a
United States officer to seize the still
and the ardent in their possesion.
Thejcreditof|thecatch belongs wholly
to our city officials.
One of the pleasant features of the
recent outing of the editor’s party at
Tybee was a meeting in the surf at
Tybee with Mr. M. Rich Emmons,
the big clothier of Atlanta. The party
also met him at supper one evening
at Hotel Pulaski, Savannah. These
meetings were especially pleasant,
as he is the brother of the mother of
Miss Cecil Huff, one of the party.
Another pleasant acquaintance
formed was Mrs. Trox Bankston, of
Ringgold, who is a most pleasant,
sweet little woman.
An editor who died of starvation
was being escorted to heaven by an
angel who had been sent for that
purpose. “May I look at the other
place before I ascend to the eternal
happiness?” asked the editor.
“Easy.” So they went below and
skirmished around, taking in the
sights. The angel lost sight of the
editor and went around hades to
look him up. He found him by a big
furnace fanning himself and gazing
with rapture upon a lot of people
in the fire. There was a sign on the
furnace which read ‘delinquent sub
scribers.’ “You go on,” said the
editor, “I am not coming. This is
heaven enough for me.”
At the First Baptist church, last
Sunday, the Sunday school number
ed 135. Several officers and teachers
are absent from the city, but excel
lent substitutes were provided, and
the school was up to the usual
standard. At the morning service,
the pastor gave the second of his
series on “Foundation Doctrines,”
which was listened to with the
closest attention. “The Attributes
of God” formed the special theme of
the discourse. The preacher ex
plained that by the term “attributes”
wo are not to understand character
istics of disposition, in the same
sense as applied to man, but some
thing that the Deity possessed as a
part of his divine nature. He spoke
of the various divisions of the divine
attributes, made by theological
writers, and said he would follow
that which divided them into the
natural and moral attributes. Among
the former he namsd God’s self-exis
tence, his eternity, his immortality,
omnipotence, omnipresence and om
niscience ; explaining all of these so

as to make it plain to all his hearers
and enforcing the truth from both
nature and revelation. God’s moral
attributes consist of his wisdom,
justice, goodness, mercy and love.
All these attributes exist in an infinite
degree, and combine and harmonize
inmakingGod a perfect being; one
to be loved as well as feared. At
3:30 Dr. Fitch preached at Antioch,
to a full house, a sermon that was
very much appreciated. At 6:45
p.m.,the B. Y. P. U. held a most
delightful service, the meeting being
led by Mr. Burnett. The tbpic was
“That Good Past,” and was illus
trated by a number of very helpful
scripture readings. At the night
service the house was well filled.
The pastor preached from Isiah Ixi,
1: “The Spirit of the Lord God is
upon me.” This was treated under
three heads. The preacher, the
hearers and the message. The
preacher, one whom God calls and
anoints, or sacredly sets apart to that
work. The hearers, the meek, those
who influenced bj’ the Holy Spirit
are asking the way of salvation. The
brokenhearted, the prisoner and the
captives bound by the chains of sin.
To all these he is to carry the message
from God. The brokenhearted he is
to bind up. The meek he is to in
struct in the matter of salvation
The captive he is to liberate, and to
the prisoner he is to open the prison
house of bondage, that he may be
made free, with the freedom which
the Spirit of God alone can give.

The Richard Cruce property was
sold Tuesday by administrator John
Cruce and a portion of it bought by
each of these three parties: R. R.
McArthur, Joe W. Cavender and D.
I. Pelfry. It was one of the finest
flaces in Trickum, and for sixty-five
years Mr. Cruce had kept it together
as the dream of his life.
Harold Wilson was arrested Wed
nesday morning, by United States
Postoflice Inspector Ed Barry, for
secreting and opening the mail of
John Dudley, the barber. He was
tried before Commissioner T. R.
Jones, the same day, and his bond
placed at SSOO for his appearance be
fore Judge Newman’s United States
District Court in Atlanta. He was
taken down to Atlanta Wednesday
evening to Fulton jail. The extreme
penalty in the case is SSOO and one
year.
In regard to the proposed railroad
through this section, advertised else
where in this issue, the Ringgold
correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution says: “The preliminary
plans for the Missing Link railroad,
extending from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
to Walhalla, S. C., are progressing
in a businesslike manner, citizens as
well as promoters regarding the con
sumation with almost certainty.
Colonel W. L. Albright, whose office
for the present is in Chattanooga, is
busily engaged at different points of
territory over which the proposed
railroad will pass.”
Sunday morning, Rev. W. T.
Swaim filled his pulpit at the regu
lar hour, and at night preached a
special sermon t<> the young. The
text for the morning hour was found
in II Timothy iv,6-8. He discussed
this text under the following heads:
1. The battle fought, “I have fought
a good fight.” 2. The finished course,
“I have finished my course; I am
ready to be offered.” 3. The future
reward, “Henceforth there is laid up
for me a crown of righteousness.”
At night his text was found in I Tim
othy iv, 16: “Take heed unto thy
self.” He said when a man was right
himself, everything else was right—
his thoughts, his purposes, his con
victions. He emphasized the impor
tance of every one’s striving to build
a noble character. To do this, we
i must first make the right choice, of
the right thing, at the right time,
early in life. He showed how many
had made bad mistakes in choosing
such things as wealth, fame, worldly
pleasures, etc., instead of obeying
the words in Matthew vi, 33: “Seek
ye first the kingdom of God aiid his
righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you.”
We hear a good deal la‘ely of the
man behind the gun. There is jmt
as much in another way of the man
behind the advertisement.
Marshals Keith and Fincher, last
Friday night, caught Mitchell Har
ris, a negro wanted in Bartow county
for carrying concealed weapons.
The authorities of that county came
after him Saturday.
Sunday afternoon at six o’clock,
occurred the sad death of Miss Lila
Es’linge" of North Dalton. She was
the sisuor of Mr. Joe Eslinger and
lived with his family. She was forty
five years of age; beloved by all who
knew her, for her winning ways and
Christian character. Her remains
were taken to Tunnel Hill for burial.
The Argus sympathizes with the
heart-broken friends and relatives of
the deceased.
The services at the First Presby
terian church, Sunday morning, were
extraordinary; the number present
being unusually large, attentive, ea
ger, and the music most delight
fully enjoyed. Rev. W. L. Lingle
spoke quite earnestly of man’s duty
to pray from scientific, theologi
cal and bi bical standpoints. The
sermon was indeed very interesting.
The afternoon services aid not break
the usual record.
Revs. L. G. Johnson and H. P.
Fitch were the only pastors present
at the weekly meeting of the Minis
ter’s Association Monday morning.
A short discussion was held; made
shorter by the small number present.
Owing to the fact that Rev. W. L.
Lingle will be out of Dalton during
August and that Dr. Fitch will be
absent part of the time, it was deci
ded that the Association will hold
no meeting during August.
Rev. J. V. M. Morris preached at
Hamilton street church Sunday
morning at 11 o’clock from Matthew
v, 14-16: “Ye are the light of the
world.” Christians should be ex
amples to the relations of life. 2nd ,
“A city on a hill can not be hid.”
The world knows just what man’s
character as a Christian is. God
gives his light to us that we may be
stow it on others. His advice is
“Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works
and glorify your father which is in
Heaven.” The evening services
were from Daniel vi, 10 on, “Free
Manhood.” He discussed this sub
ject under four heads: The ad vantage
of having a time and place in which
to pray; Consistency in all duties;
The importance of contracting Chris
tian manhood.
