SOME RATTLING RACING
Out at the Exposition Track One Week
From Today.
Next Tuesday, the 23rd instant, lovers,
of sport will have an opportunity to wit
ness one of the hottest trotting matches
even seen in Rome.
It will be between George Stiles’ mare,
Annie W, and Ben Whitehead’s Luna.
Annie W. has a record of 2:39 1-4, and
has gone a trial in 2:28 Luna is an In
diana mare and shows great speed. She
has never entered a race, and she is an
unknown quality to those on the outside.
However, her driver is confident, and
says Stiles’ mare will have to go under
thirty to win the race.
The match will be best three in five,
half mile heals, for a purse of SIOO. Both
sides have expressed themselves as being
sure of winning, and the lace will be
i hotly contested. The first start will be
made at three o’clock, and sandwiched
between heats will be a running match
between Twilight and Margie, two of the
swiftest in all this section.
No lover of sport can afford to miss
this opportunity to see some real inter
esting races, where every effort will be
bant by each side to come out ahead.

THE SUNDAY SINGING.
Many People Went Up to Sugar Valley
Sunday.
A large crowd of Romans went to
Sugar Valley Sunday to attend the meet
ing of the Gordon county singing asso
ciation.
Toe church at Sugar Valley was en
tirely too small to accommodate the
enormous crowd that attended.
The Romans were headed by Ordinary
Davis and all report an enjoyable time at
the singing.
Mr. Joab Lewis, of Sonoraville, was
chosen president of the organization for
the present year.
SUGAR VALLEY SINGING.
The Tribune Correspondent Tells What an
Excellent Time Was Experienced.
Sugar Valley, Ga., April 15. —Easter
Sunday, the glad anniversary morn of
our Savior’s resurrection, dawned bright
and fair, and this in itself was sufficient
to make glad the hearts of all who ex
pected to array themselves in Easter at
tire, but the event which promised so
much of happiness was the semi-annual
meeting of the Gordon county singing
convention.
The meeting of the organization
brought together representative people
from every section of this and adjoining
counties. Floyd, Wnitfield, Bartow and
Walker were well represented.
The Binging is alw rys good, and on this
occasion every one seemed thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of the day, and it
was with a right good will that the as
sembled throng sent up their voices in
joyful songs of praise to the risen Christ.
There was a large crowd present and
each and everyone voted the day a suc
cess in every respect.
Among those present from Rome were:
Rov. Mr. Bridges and family, Ordinary
Davis, Col. Walter Vandiver, Messrs.
George and Pat Allen,Chamblee, Starnes.
Cantrell, Owens, the Misses Wright, Wil
lingham and many others.
The next meeting of the associat'on
will be held at Blue Springs, when we
hope to have these and many more visi-
Itors attend.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1895.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
Mountain City Fire Company Number 2
Elects New Officers.
INTERESTING MEETING LAST NIGHT.
A Close Race Between Bud Taylor and
Hugh McCrary, but Taylor Was Re-
Elected—The Anniversary.
Mountain City Fire Co. No. 2 held its
annual election last night, and great
interest was taken by the members.
This is a company that stands in the
front rank, and its members are not
only excellent firemen, but popular gen
tlemen whose friends are numerous.
The annual election is always an in
teresting event and last night was no
exception.
P. H. Vandiver, the popular captain,
was unanimously re-el. eted without op
position, and the follov. lug other officers
were chosen:
Secretary, W. G. Maitland.
Treasurer, Peter J. Antognoli.
Delegate, Dave Hanks.
Surgeon, Dr. L. P. Hammond.
First director, W. J. Gordon.
Second director, H. R. Miller.
Third director, A. M. Antognoli.
Fourth director, Tom Talley.
Engineer, H, B. Salmon.
Driver, John Corley.
Assistant driver, E. Z. Taylor.
The only contest of interest was that
of Hugh McCrary against Bud Taylor,
assistant driver. On the first ballot
each received twenty votes. On the
next Taylor got twenty-one and Mc-
Crary nineteen. McCrary is a good man
and made a splendid fight against “Gov
ernor.” However, Mr. Taylor has
made a good record and is too excellent
a man for the place to be defeated. His
many friends are delighted because of
his success. Popular John Corley, as
good a man as ever handled the lines
over fire department horses anywhere,
was unanimously re-elected.
Next Friday night the company will
give its anniversary banquet, and it will
prove a happy occasion. This celebrates
the twenty-sixth anniversary and all
members of the other companies will be
invited to attend.
Spring is here sure. Why?
Because Chattanooga Bock

A Spit ndid Opportunity Given to Breeders

Time, a magnificent black roan stallion,
and give an opportunity to the breeders
of North Georgia such as they seldom
have. I feel confident that a batter bred
horse has never made a season in this
state. He is an inbred Wilkes, tracing
twice to George Wilkes, twice to Ham
bletonian 10, once to Daniel Lambert and
once to Mambrino Patchen. He is a
splendid animal individually; has never
beeu trained but has a smooth,open gait.

we have leased and put into thorough coudi'ion the SHIPP HO TEL, of this city,
and promise our former patrons and the ; nh'm thar they will receive the same
treatment at the SHIPP that they tadat t! •< U TllEiiN. While the SHIPP is a
