ROME’S STREETS
Will be Worked by the County
Convicts
BEGINNING NEXT WEEK.
The County Commissioners so
Decide-A Great Thing
For Rome.
The county couvic’s will begin woik
on the streets of Rome next week.
This was decided i1 the meeting of the
county commissioners yestetday, and it
is a splendid piece of news for all inter
ested in Rome. It is a step that should
have been taken long ago in justice to
the city, and all are giad that the com
missioners at last see it in that light.
The idea was suggested several weeks
ago, and was fully told in The Tribune
The matter was brought before thec< m
missioners, and is now decided. The
first idea was for the county to build a
permanent stockade at the rock quarry,
where the convicts were to be boused
during the winter months, at which time
work could be done to little advantage in
the country, and to the great discomfit
ure and impairment to the health of the
convicts, while kept in the stockade rock
was to be crushed and brought to Rome
in fair weather and put on the streets.
This to be a permanent arrangem l nt
for the good of all, including the coi
victs. Besides this it was argued that
Rome paid two-thirds of the county
taxes and should have some benefit of
of the convicts’ work.
Mayor King and Captain Printup, were
before the commissioners yesterday, and
argued on this line.
Th* convicts have been stationed down
the Summerville road, and are just now
ready to move camp. Oue-third of the
total number are down with the grip,
and more inclement weather is to be ex
pected. The county physician has to
make frequent visits, and the distance is
such as to make it inconvenient for al).
The men have no shelter, and. taking all
things into consideration, the,commis
sioner thought it right to bring the con
victs to the quarry, and let them prepare
to work Rome’s streets.
This will be done at once—by the first
part of next week.
Mayor King, in a talk to The Tribune,
says the first work will be done on Sic
and avenue, and then on Broad sleet.
In the two or three months the commis
sioners allow a meat amount of good
can be done, and at least these two
streets will be thoroughly mac drnn z-d.
It is a great thing f,r Rome, and the
move iu all justice should ha.e been
made long ago. Two or three months
every year win do much for our streets.
Other Matters.
The boatd discussed ways and means
of preparing the list of insolvent ns
payers, as ordered by the legislature. It
was found that digests for only two ol
the sixteen years are iu the tax collec
tor’s rffije. Copies are in the tfficeol
the comptroller in Atlanta, and if the
originals cannot be founti these c< n bt
use I. The feasibility of offering a re
ward was discussed.
A settlement was not made with the
tax collector and nixc Thursday another
meeting will be held for the purpose.

listoni. The big
dqcecra new-order of

The old cowboy was the companion of
his boss and shared his pleasures and
his hardships.
No manager in this big headquarter
rockhouse reminded him of his inferior
rank in society, nor did any of the mod
ern ranch accessories mar the common
dangers, the pleasures and the freedom
and equality of the whilom cowboy and
cowman. But the ranch in the olden
time was a cottonwood loghouse to
cook in, and for roof and protection
from the weather the slicker was used,
and mother earth supplied their beds.
The broad range and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A
roundup in 1867-80 was not bounded
by wire fences, but the boys galloped out
of camp after breakfast, made a wide
sweep, and all then %Jrove toward a
common center, and Io! directly at that
point was gathered a herd of stock cat
tle of all brands, ready for the cut to
begin.
The high toned man was tabooed. I
remember such a man appeared at the
ranch of J. T., in Shackleford county,
in 1869. He was a city fellow, and
would say “Ttonkyou” and such like.
His intense politeness and high toned
nonsense aggravated the boys miuhtilv.

dim u. iu particular —-poor reiiow—
was especially fretted by his nonsense,
ns he called it, and tried to ridicule it
out of him, but in vain. At last his
resentment ripened into genuine hatred
and it was hard to keep the peaice be
tween them, for the city fellow had
grit too.
Well, one morning in 1869, at Moun
tain pass, in Taylor county, long before
any one lived in that section, Jim got
awfully mad and gave the city fellow a
cussing, whereupon a row resulted and
blodshed was barely prevented there
and then. We got the city fellow to ride
off, and it looked like peace had return
ed, but one hour later Jim B. and his
amiable enemy met off at one side of
the roundup. I happened to be near. In
a flash the city chap ran before Jim,
dismounted, leveled his gun on him and
demanded an apology or death.
Jim jerked out two six shooters, but
said nothing, and instantly the city
fellow fired. Poor Jim rolled off his
horse a dead man. I got to them just
as Jim fell. He died instantly, shot
through the heart. His slayer mounted
his horse and “lit out.” We buried
Jim and went on with our herd, two
men short, but with no discordant ele
ment among us.
Such was the old way. The boys were
courteous and kind, they were gener
ous and brave, industrious and honest,
but they would not stand any high toned
nonsense. A new era has set in. Which
is the better we cannot say, but one
thing is sure—with all his faults, and
they were many, the old time cowboy
was a man to be trusted in peace or
war and was the very soul of honor.—

Strength and Health.
If you are not feeling strong and healthy,
try Electric Bitters. If “La Grippe’’ has
left you weak and weary, use Electric Bit
ters. This remeday acts directly on Liver,
Sto u ach and Kidneys, gent'y aiding those
organs to perform their suctions. If you
are afflicted with sick headache, you will
find speedy and permanent relief by taking
Electric Bitters. One trial will convince
you that this is the remedy you need.

A Smuggling Scheme.
Passing through Hudson street with
a friend, I chanced to pass the establish
ment of a firm of “folders and repack
ers” of dry goods. Before the door were
a hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they were destined for a firm in Texas,
doing business in a town near the Mex
ican line.
“Do you know,” asked my compan
ion, “why those goods are put up in
such small packages?”
Upon replying in the negative he con
tinued: “They are to be smuggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 30 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case. |
“The goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
aro slung across the backs of mules, I
two bales to each animal, and with an
arined escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
ican traders at a good profit.
"Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled, cheap
Mexican coffee and cigars.' ’ —New York

Fads, Fancies and Facts of Interest te

They say that more , fur is worn this
Winter for trimming than has been seen
in 20 years.
They say that violets are to bo the
flowers par excellence of the season.
They say that the most daring con
trasts are used In evening gowns—tulle
and fat, for example.
They say that earrings, even the very
tiniest screws, are out of date.
They say that hair dealers are grow
ing happy again, as with the present
elaborate coiffures small switches are be
ing generally worn.
They say that a quart of very hot
water drank each day and onions eaten
in some form at least three times a week
make the skin startlingly brilliant. The
result is attained by improving the di
gestion and cleansing the stomach.
They say that phytol berries eaten be
fore or after meals reduce flesh rapidly.
They say that nibbling on chocolates
or some other sweet between meals and
taking a glass of hot milk just before re
tiring produce flesh without fail.
They say that very pointed and arti
ficially stained nails are entirely out of
vogue.
They say that wrinkles can be removed
and dimples made by a slight surgical
operation, but that there are lines behind
each woman's ears which remorselessly
betray her thirtieth birthday.
They say that crude petroleum rubbed
on the brows and lashes will make them
grow.
They say you really get a good idea of
your future by having your palm read by
an expert.
They say there are hundred* of act
resses out of employment in New York.
I They say that a reaction must soon set
i in and the present gigantic sleeves be re-
I placed by the skin tight ones of the past.
I They say black hair—the dead, blue
] black hair—is now considered the most
uniquely beautiful. It can never become
common, as no dye can simulate it.
i They say the Juliet shoes have re
i placed slippers for house wear during
the winter months.
. They say this is to be a season of char
ades and mind reading, as private the-
' atricals have become commonplace.
I They say cigarette smoking is grow
ing as a habit among women in England
and America.
They say Russian tea is becoming a
I national beverage. A slice of lemon,
some powdered sugar and a dash of rum
in a cup of fragrant Pekoe make a drink
that might be called an inspiration.
I They say white stockings, though
. ugly, are healthy.
They say the continental jabot should
always be worn with the continental
hat. In this costume a pretty girl looks
a dainty, feminine George Washington.
They gay enameled lorgnettes are ex
tremely “fetching,” if they do make the
gazer seem just a trifle supercilious.
