THE WEATHER.
The Rainfall Becoming General
Over the South.
THE CROPS ARE GROWING
Finely From Texas to South
Carolina—The Cotton Out
look is Promising.
The week has generally been slightly
wanner than usual in the north and
west portions of the cotton belt,but from
the East Texas coast and Louisiana east
ward over the southern portions of Miss
issippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South
Carolina, the mean daily temperature
for the week averaged fromjone to three
degrees below the normal for the same
period of former years.
Showery weather prevailed, except in
central and northern Texas, and in por
tions of Eastern Arkansas, where there
was no rainfall,or only an inappreciable
quanity. In extreme Southeastern Tex
as the greater portion of South Louisi
ana, and in a belt of country from fifty
to one hundred miles wide, extending
from Central Mississippi, eastward over
Alabama and Georgia, and covering the
greater portion of South Carolina, the
weekly rainfalls were in excess of the
usual falls. The rains were heaviest at
Amite, La., and Brookhaven, Miss.,
where from six to six and a half inche s
fell in past seven days.
Telegraphic weather crop summaries
from state weather service centers in
the cotton belt:
Louisiana A generally favorable
fcreek for all crops though more rain is
weeded in the northwest parishes. Cot-
Ftoli is a good stand, and is blooming
[ nicelX but few worms reported. Corn
land rice have improved. Cane is in ex
■ellent condition. A large sweet potato
(acreage is being planted.
I Texas—A normal temperature with
[deficient rainfall. Cotton is doing well,
and is in good condition except that it
is grassy. In parts of southern districts
dt is blooming and farming squares,
■he corn crop is promising. Oat har
dest about completed.
| Arkansas—A favorable temperature
.with deficient and unevenly distributed
[rainfall. Cotton has improved; the
plant is healthy and a good stand, but
is small. Corn is doing only fairly well,
needs rain badly. A good general rain
is needed to produce the best results.
Mississippi—A; favorable week with
beneficial showers, though limited sec
tions in the northern portion of.state con
tinues dry. Cotton is small, clean and
•veil fruited. Young corn is good, but
Htd corn not promising. Gardens and
Kotatoes below average in northern coun
ties, but good elsewhere.
Alabama—The most favorable week
of the season. Temperature was about
normal and with good rains. Cotton
has improved very much and blooms
becoming general. Late corn is looking
I much better. Vegetables and melons
are doing well. Crops are clean.
Georgia—The weather was warm and
seaonable the past week. Local showers
Btove fallen every day affording tempor
iary relief from drouth and a correspond

THROWN FROM AHORSE.
Mr. Ben. Yancey Injured by Being Thrown
from a Young Horae
Yesterday morning, Dr. T. R. Garling
ton received a telegram stating that
Mr. Beu Yancey, son of Col. Hamilton
Yancey, had been injured, and needed
his attention.
Mr. Yancey is on his father’s farm
“Cloverdale,” ten miles down the E. T,,
V. & G. railroad, and yesterday morn
ing about 10 o’clock, was out riding a
young horse. The animal became un
ruly and threw .Mr. Yancey, seriously
injuring his back and side.
Dr. Garlington went at once to see
the young man, and found him suffer
ing considerably. The doctor stated
last night that he left his patient rest
ing easy,and hoped that there would by
no serious developments in the case.
Col. and Mrs. Yancey are both out of
the city, but were telegraphed concern
ing their son’s injuries
HOW'S THAT?
These hot—yes hot, for no other word
will begin to describe it—days every
fellow in town quits hie business to tell
the poor hard worked newspaper man
how to run the paper. Os course the
profession is glad to have advise on the
subjects,as it comes gratuitously. In fact
some people are so anxious to unburden
their minds of its surplus information
on “how to run a newspaper” that they
will go miles to tell about it. But then
we are not making any kick on that and
are always pleased to have our 'friends
come and tell us the news.
A good old lady from down in Alaba
ma came up on the East Tennessee yes
terday. She was anxious to go to Trion
factory. It was very plain that she was
unused tojcity ways and the electric cars
proved to be an unsolvable mystery to
her. Out in East Rome she received the
information that it only cost five cents
to ride on the car and she
fretted around the depot trying to get a
dime changed. When at last the car
ran up to the depot and the gong sound
ed for everybody to get aboard the old
lady made a geat fuss about a pile of
bundles she had,but anally succeeded in
getting comfortable fixed with her prop
erty piled on the seat beside her. The
conductor courtously asked her where
she wished to get off and she replied
’■Tnon.” That stumped the gallant car
man but, after profuse explanations he
convinced his passenger that his line did
not quite reach to Tiron and the woman
bundles and baskets were put off at the
C. R. & C. depot.
That game of baseball Saturday be
tween the ‘‘Dudes” and “Swells” is go
ing to be something worth seeing. It
is wonderful to see with what heroism
Clare Rowell, Yancy Harris, John Ra
mey Sproull Fouche and the rest of those
fellows get out in the blazing sun and
grab at swift grounders and sky scra
ping flies. Y*cy Harris is having a
bat made to order which is about the
length and width of a boat paddle,
and he is confident that he can knock
one of Sam Graham’s cranky inshoots
clean out of the park. Clare Rowell
has secured a large wicker basket, and
says that he can stop anything th at
comes his way. Will Norton and Sproull
Fouche are having bullet nroof suits
made, and will show people how scien
tific baseball is played. So far * man
lias not been found,who is brave enough
to do the umpiring act, but it is current
ly reported that the services of Jim
Corbett have been secured. But just
remember that the game will be played
in the North Rome park Saturday even
ing.
Miss Edna Cain, the talented daugh
ter of Editor John Cain, of the Chattoo
ga News, was in the city yesterday.
Miss Cain is one of the brightest young
ladies on the Georgia press today, and
her work on her father’s paper has won
for her a splendid reputation.
About the coolest place on Broad
street during the mcrning, is under the
awning in front of Wood <te Freeman’s
store. This fact is only known to a few
parties, but if you will just go along
there in the morning hours when old
Sol is doing some of his liveliest work,
you will find two or three fellows sitting
there looking as cool as the proverbial
i cucumber.
ROME, GA. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1894
FADS. FANCIES AND STAPLES.
ALL AT THE PARKS & CO. STORE.
And still at our old tricks
—giving very much for a very little.
It has been a great sale
—-the sale of the Parks stock and the
Flemister stock. You don’t need to guess why—if you have kept posted as
to the prices there. The half price mathematics will
be kept up till the summer goods of these stocks are sold.
If to you there is power in price carefully examine the catalogue below, and if to
you there is virtue in value come to the Parks Store. Prices tell but part of tne story,
the goods the rest. Put the goods and the prices together and they are invincible—
unmatchable. We are determined to close out this merchandise preparatory for an
immense new stock for Fall Business. Even now where the stock is deficient new goods
are being received daily. So it will not be a tale of “just out” when you come. The
goods advertised will be on hand and not a price, though it be less than half value, will
be dodged.
GOME TO SEE US IF YOU WANT GOODS CHEAP.
Millinery.
We like to talk about—to write about
our Millinery Department—of the Airy
Straws, the Canton Straws, the Pearl
Straws, the Leghorns, Milans, White
Chips, the Laces, the Ribbons, the Flow
ers— Monturee, Rose Sprays, Imported
Sprays and all the da>nty et ceteras that
go to help make up the stock. But that
which most delights us is the evidence of
satisfaction to the people—the unmis
takable evidence that we are meeting the
requirements of the people. For the
people—might call it the whole people—
are buying their head wear on
The Second Floor
of the Parks & Co. Store., and no wonder
At the cut prices we are making, every
piece and part in the stock is a bargain.
Not that we have cheap millinery—we
have none—but that we have a world of
Millinery CHEAP; and, as water runs
down bill, ladies have come to us for
their supply, and again and again forcing
us to new engagements with Miss Snyder
our
Peerless Designer and
Trimmer,
after her contract for the season had ex
pired.
Miss Snyder will remain with us a
while longer’ and the stock will be
kept up.
Take the elevator to the millinery bar
gain mart on the second floor.
