A GREAT EXCURSION
Mr. H, S. Lansdell Will Carry a Crowd

lously Low Figures as to be Within
the Reach of All.
This morning, under the auspices of
Mr. H. 8. Lansdell, a happy party of
excursionists will leave for Chatta
nooga and Lookout Mountain.
He has a special train over the
Southern to leave early in the morn
ing, returning at night, t
The train will leave the East Rome
depot, over the Southern, at 7a. m.

the finest in the South, has agreed to put
the price of admission at fifteen cents,
giving one third of the gross receipt to
the fund.
The Cyclorama will put the admission
at 25 cents and give 25 per cent of the
gross receipt to the fund. It is one of the
grandest pictures in existence,and shows
a true picture of Gettysburg, one of
the hardest fought battles of the war.
It took 1,100 pounds of paint to put it
on the canvass and is invaluable to all
students of art as will as history.
The following letter shows that the
interest in the work is not confined to
Rome, and is very generous on the
part of Mr. Atkinson:
Chattanooga, Tenn., June 12.
Mr. Lansdell, Rome, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Please say to your excur
sion party, who will visit Chattanooga
soon, that we will make them a spe
cial half rate to our cyclorama. We
have the greatest attraction by far
that is to be seen here. In addition
to the half rate we will also give to
the Episcopal church 25 per cent of
the gross receipts from the excursion.
We do this because it looks like every
body has the interest of this church
at heart, and we don’t want to be an
exception. Please advise me when
your excursion will come.
Paul M. Atkinson, Mang’r.
This will be the grandest excursion
of the season. Ample accommodations

Rome Hospitality.
Miss Della Russell, the charming
sister of Editor Russell, of the Cedar
town Standard had this to say about
Rome hospitality:
“In entertaining the district Mission
ary convention the people of Rome have
exhibited a lavish hospitality and a
kindliness of spirit which has been in
perfect harmony with their reputation
and which has been thoroughly appre
ciated. ’ ’
Miss Russell was a delegate to the
Woman’s Foreign Mission society and
did good work while here, adding to
her long list of admiring friends while
in the city.
A Compliment.
From an appreciative reader yes
terday the following kind words were
received in a note to the editor:
“The Tribune Sunday was perfect.
The little poem, “Unfurl Your Ban
ner, Christians,” was an exquisite
burst of rapture, and the editorials
were full of truth, soul, sentiment
and sense. The one on Captain Still
well had such a strong ending, filling
out all the roles of rhetoric and
touchingly natural.”

GAYLESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
The Closing Exercises of a Successful Year
in That Town.
Cedar Bluff, Ala., June 17.
The Tribune:—The Commencement
of the Gaylesville High school closed
last Thursday evening. This has been
a very prosperous year with the school
and the closing exercises were; the best
wd ever witnessed there. Prof. Ray,
who took charge of the school in Janu
ary is a splendid teacher and is very
popular with his patrons and pupils.
The exercises of the Centre school will
take place Tuesday night.
AN ENDORSEMENT.
A Reader of the Tribune Expresses His
Opinion Freely.
Editor Rome Tribune:
My Dear Sir—You have struck the
key note to the solution of the finan
cial question when you say 'or con
gress to pass a law repealing the ten
per cent tax on State banks. It is the
only thing that can be done this year
that will relieve the financial pressure
and restore prosperity to the country:
put the enterprises of the country all
on foot, and give employment to
every man, woman and child that
wants to work, and remunerating
prices for all of the products of our
lands, to restore values to property
and harmony in the democratic ranks,
and be the means of electing a demo
cratic president in 1896.
This wrangling over gold and sil
ver means want of confidence in both
parties, and cannot be settled in one
or two years, and thus means poor
business, want of enterprise, want of
employment, want of property val
ues, w’ant of prosperity and want of
a democratic president in the next
election.
The democratic party and Grover
Cleveland can redeem the country
and the party by one act, and that is
Jrimply repeal the ten per cent tax on
State banks, and the people will do
the balance.
The resources of our country are
great, and our people are equal to
any emergency when unshackled.
There need be no conflicts between
national banks and state banks, and
no man will want gold or silver unless
he is a miser and wants to bury it,
when he can get a bank note issued
by such a corporation as Trion fac
tory can circulate under proper bank
ing laws.
Grover Cleveland’s gold standard
theory has been very discouraging to
the business interests of the country,
and under it the labor of a life time
would Jbe swept from many a good
man and good corporation. Down
with the gold and silver theory for
the present, and do something that
will relieve business, give confidence
and restore prosperity.
R. F. Foster.
