It has been fully agreed upon to have

at 8 o’clock sharp, in the superior court
room at the new court house. The ad
mission will be but 25 cents ", and the
proceeds will go to the Young Men’s
Library Association. There will be
“bushels of fun,” and the best spellers
in the city will take part.
Mayor John D. Moore and Prof. R.
J. Gwaltney will “choose up,” and
be at the head of their class. The fol
lowing gentlemen have signified their
willingness to take part in the spelling:

gentlemen, who pride themselves on
their ability to spell words. It is a well

fun can be expected.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Words of High Promise for the City School
From a Visitor.
The Tribune desires to make special
mention of the blackboard work at the
public school on patrons day last Friday.
The drawings by the pupils in the
different grades were of splendid merit.
In Miss Ombergs room, fourth grade C,
the reporter lingered awhile to notice
the excellence of the work in every par
ticular. Miss Omberg deservedly ranks
high in the corp of teachers, and the
pupils have the deepest affection for her.
JMr. W. S. Hills, cf El Paso, Texas, a
gentlemen who has traveled extensively
in Europe and the United States, speaks
in glowring terms of the public school
system of Rome.
‘‘ I think the public schools of Rome
will compare favorably with those of
any city in the United States. The
teachers are very competent and what is
very essential to success, are devoted to
their work. The methods of instruction
are kept up to the standard maintained
in all of the larger cities, and the deport
ment of the school is exceptionally good,
in fact, superior to most schoolsofa
similiar character. I suppose the
foundation of the superioirty of the
schools can be attributed to the energy
and ability of the superintendent. He
is preeminently the right man in the
right’ place, and should have the hearty
support of all friends of education. I
feel that no language would be extravi
gant in praising the public school system
of Rome.”

NO LOCUSTS IN FRUIT.
The Negroes Think the Locusts Will In
| t -st Blackberri s.
There is a prevalent impression among
the negroes that the locusts will lay their
eggs in the blackberries and spoil the
crop.
The colored population find blackberry
picking a source of considerable income,
and make many dimes by selling the
luscious berry to parties in town for
making pies, jams and various other
things.
An old negro in speaking to The
Tribune about the locusts infesting the
fruit seemed to be very much troubled
over’ it. “Ij tell yo’ boss, dey jes’ aint
er gwine to be ary black bery lef! Dem
nsty locussess is;goin’ to git in dat fruit
and spile de whole crap, an’ de niggers
aint er gwine to make eny money dis
year’, an’ you isn’t got eny idy how
much ’ pendance mos’ of dese shifles’
town niggers put on pickin’ blackberries
an’ sellin’ of dem to de ladies yere in
town. Dis whole country’ am just er
giwne de dawgs, since dem ar dimi
ratics up in Washington don’ let us have
no currency, and de tairup law, lam
just dat bad troubled dat I don’ know
whutlam ergwine to do this summer.”
And with a| ook of despondency upcnhis
black,wrinkled face,he shuffled off down
the street, muttering and shaking his
head.
As a matter of fact their'is not the
sliglt 'et danger of the blackberries being
injured by the locusts. This insect never
bothers fruit at all, but always seek
trees with tender bark, and then mak
ing an incision in the bark , lay their
eggs. 3 The eggs are hatched into worms
and fall to the ground. The worms bury
themselves in the soil and after the lapse
of thirteen years become locusts. This
seems to be a locust year, for reports
from the country districts say that they
are quite numerous, but they apparently
are not enough of them to do serious
injury.
The cold snap early in the spring did
incalcuble harm to the fruit of all kinds
throughout the whole country, and it
was thought at first that even the black
berries and apples were killed, but
neither fruit seems to have suffered
Jeriously. The farmers and nurserymen
state that the apples were only slightly
injured, and the prospects are good for
an average crop. This is cheerful news
inasmuch as it was taken for granted by
almost everybody that there would be
fruit of no kind. In addition to this,
the blackberries promise to be as plenti
ful as ever. This is a fruit that never
fails, no matter how scarce other fruits
maybe.

This is where you will find Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets do the most good. They are
tiny, sugar-coated pills, scarcely larger than
mustard seed, made of concentrated botan
ical extracts. These “Pellets” are easily
dissolved in the stomach and absorbed into
the blood, stimulating a flow of bile from the
liver, and arousing to activity all the glandu
lar secretions. Thus they act in nature’s
own way.
They’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
money refunded, in all Bilious Attacks, in
Sick Headache, Constipation, Dizziness, and
Indigestion.
