BOMB GEORGIA. JUNE 19. 1895.
The Americus Herald improves in
apperance every day.
Human life is placed at too low an
estimate these days.
The cheap excursion rates on the
railroads are being taken advantage
of by summer travellers.
The time is coming when there will
be no place in business or society for
the man who is intemperate.
The literary club which has for its
object the study of literature is com
mendable. It is a rarity, however.
Murderer Eaton, who killed old
farmer Rilts, in Cobb county Satur
day, should be caught and summarily
dealt with.
Now it appears that the Southern
has not absorbed the Georgia South
ern, but the two are to work to
gether in harmony.
The jargon of the dialect verse writ
ers blunts the sensibilities and gradu
ally deafens the ear to the apprecia
tion of real poetry.
Will Myers is again on trial for
his life in Atlanta. The more dastard
ly the deed the longer the penalty is
postponed. This causes lynching.
It is probable that Bridges Smith
will appear as “A Peach, from the
Brandy Station,” during the masque
rade of the Macon Peach Carnival.
In Savannah, Friday, Col. J. H. Es
till,proprietor of the Savannah News,
was married to his adopted daughter,
Miss Ida Estill. The press is extend
ing its congratulations.
It’s dollars to doughnuts that Mr.
Sparks will remain at the head of the
Georgia Southern. And it is the
best thing that could happen to that
property at this stage of the game.—
Macon News.
The desirable home seeker needs no
beating of tom toms nor hugags to in
duce him to settle in the community.
It is the prospector who never expects
to settle, not even to settle his debts,
who relishes that sort of thing.
Up in North Georgia the other day
a snake crawled up the breeches of a
stiff legged negro. No one has yet at
tempted to describe the movements
of the said negro.—Albany Herald.
Simply because they were indescrib
able.
Georgia will be well represented at
Lookout. It is to be hoped, however,
. that the unspeakable Tennesseean
will not misconstrue the term “press
club” as applied to our fair represent
tatives,and venture where angels fear
to tread.
That dignified and very tony scoun
drel Lascelles, alias Beresford, is al
lowed room in the papers to bandy
words with people outside of the pen
itentiary. This is strange journalism
and very questionable morality. But
to do justice it is in entire keeping
with the times when journals that
are supposed to shape public opinion,
can make heroes out of Jesse James’
and Daltons, and hold up a common
slugger as “gentleman Jim.”—
Waynesboro Citizen.
*ORGIA BANKERS.
The bank ste of Georgia held their
annual meeting in Brunswick last
week. Free 'lver organs are fond of
abusing the b ankers as the “money
power” that has the country by the
throat and is fast throttling it, but no
one who could see the Georgia bank
ers together would take them for such
enemies of the people. The assem
blage <Sf bankers in Brunswick was
made up of representative business
men of the various communities of
Georgia, intelligent, progressive and
prosperous.
They are identified with thq inter
ests of Georgia and of the people.
They are almost a unit against the
iflovement to put a depreciated and
debased currency on the people, and
are unalterably for sound currency.
In the Brunswick meeting they took
strong grounds for the repeal of the
tax on state bank issues, and favored
issue of bank money under safeguards
and restrictions that would make it
as good as any other money. One of
the most interesting of the papers read
before the association was that by
Mr. Gunby Jordan, of this city on the
subject of state bank issues.
On tlie action of the association the
Brunswick Times-Advertiser says:
“If our friends,the Georgia bankers,
are as friendly to the expressing in be
half of the state banks, so ably
defended in the address df Col. G.
Gunby Jordan, as they were of
the gold standard, the influence will
be felt in coming legislation.
“The great fault with conventions
discussing financial matters has been
too much in the line of answering po
litical demands, whether upon the
one side or the other.
“If things are radically wrong, the
man who is intelligent enough to
point out the error should be able to
point out the remedy. The mere as
sertion that a thing is so does not
prove it. Vituperation and epithet is
no more of argument in the mouth
of a banker than if uttered
by a hod carrier. If there is not
reason behind a statement the char
acter of its emanation does not neces
sarily give it strength.
“What the people of this country
want is a policy that is just and equal
to all, and that gives the fullest pos
sible opportunity of business enter
prise. Present financial conditions
do not give such scope. If the bank
ers are to be public guardians in this
matter they should show themselves
worthy of trust. We want remedy
more than the statement of error. The
bankers will not have done their duty
until they have supplied this country
with a proper currency for its busi
ness.”—Columbus Enquirer Sun.
AGAINST THE PICTURE CRAZE.
One of the magazines to be started
in New York in the autumn will have
no illustrations, and its projectors
have decided upon this course with
what they believe to be a definite
view and the correct one. These men
believed that the illustration of our
popular magazines is being over-done,
and that the public is tiring of simply
“picture-articles,” the chief merit of
which, they claim, lies not in the let
ter-press, but in tl e pictorial part.
They affirm boldly that articles are
accepted by the editors of all our
prominent magazines simply because
of their adaptability to illustration,
and that the intrinsic worth of the ma
terial itself is lost sight of, and pur
posely so. This is rather a sweeping
statement to make, and one which
I venture to say, has but little real
basis of fact. The assertion is ground
ed, I thiqk, on the wrong classifica
tion of certain periodicals under the
head of magazines which are really
not magazines at all, but mere pic
ture books.
The public buys these periodicals,
and because they are similar in shape
to the prominent magazines accepts
them, in part, as magazines. But the
truth of the matter is that the public
does not take these periodicals as se
riously as might be expected. The
pictures are looked at because, in a
way, they are pleasant to look upon
and they are well printed. But the
reading matter which accompanies
them is rarely read, and when it is
read the reading is never repeated.
—New York Advertiser.
The summer young man is not to
be tolerated longer at the Brooklyn
navy yard. If any of the young men
connected with that establishment
wish to adorn their beauty with the
many colored and the cromatic
neckties that have been provided by
fashion for their sex, they will have
to go somewhere else to do it. Com
modore Sicard, the commandant at
the navy yard has issued an order em
bodying this sentence: “The wearing
of articles of dress not in accordance
with the uniform regulations, such
as tan shoes and highly colored neck
ties is prohibited.” That is squarely
to the point, and is conclusive. The
young blades must give up part of
their armament for “mashing” cruises
or they must get out of the navy
yard. No rivalry for gaudiness with
the national flag will be counte
nanced.
THE ROME TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19. 1895,
MOUNTAIN RAMBLES.
Robert Burns.
[Dedicated to the Atlanta Caledonian Society.]
Fairest page in Beotia’s st iry,
Baid of never dying fame,
Star of Caledonian glory,
Sacred be that hallowed name!
Sweetest note in songs harmonions,
Each new generation learns
Rarer gems and strains symphoniotu
In the Songs of Robert Burns!
Since the morning stars in splendor
Sang around the new-born earth,
Grander soul or touch more tender
Time has never given birth.
To’ard the spot where rest his ashes
Heart of every nation turns,
For the light of genius flashes
Round the grave of Robert Burna.
Burns, the champion of the lowly—
Bold defender of their wrongs;
Inspiration pure and holy
Forme the burden of his songs.
In dark hours of deep depression
Oft the suffering spirit yearns
For the exquisite expression
Os the soul of Robert Burns!
Matchless fame in Sc rtia’a story.
Star of undimtnished flame,
Light of Caledonian glory,
Hallowed be that peerless name!
Tears of tenderest emotion
Fall in memory’s purest urns;
Loyalty and fond devotion
To the name of Robert Burns.
—Montgomery M. Folsom.
A Shadowed Life.
[ D]
During a heated political contest there
occurred a bloody fight in which Kenne
dy, through an innate sense of justice,
espoused the weaker side. A fight en
sued, and in defending one man against
half a dozen assailants, he killed one of
the ring leaders of the more powerful
faction. The killing was clearly in
self-defense, but that seemed no good
purpose in a community where the race
was to the swift and the battle to the
strong, and right was might.
He was tried for his life, convicted on
a technicality and sentenced to the coal
mines for ten years.
The blow fell with crushing force on
the girl wife, so ill-fitted to cope with
the storms of adversity. She had never
met with either sympathy, or favor
among the women of the neighborhood,
whose sole mission in life was to gossip
and dip snuff and regale themselves in
the rehearsals of the latest scandals of
the community, with occasional relapses
of virtue when they attended “big
meetin’ ” and “jined in the shoutin. ”
They now held aloof from the “omern
of a conviok” and she was left with her
baby boy to fight the battle of life alone
in an inhospitable country, afar from
any who knew or cared for her welfare.
But she was brave and true, and strug
gled on against fate, hoping against
hope, and devoting all the feeble ener
gies of her life to the support of her
helpless child.
Year after year when the summer seas
on rolled round, and the boarders came to
the hotel, she was the first to appear at
the back door of the kitchen with her
little store of vegetables, berries and
other small products, for she was not
able to carry on the farming operations
alone. She was too proud to appeal to
her parents, and contentedly struggled
on, ever and anon addressing herself to
each new administration in the hope of
securing a pardon for her husband, hid
den away in the black dungeons of the
coal mines.
But all her efforts were rendered abor
tive by the enemies of her husband. who
were unrelenting in their thirst for <n
geance. \
Five years passed,and her strength be
gan to fail her. As she saw her life
was doomed, she redoubled her efforts
to secure her husband’s release, and at
last secured a petition signed by the
judge and jurors who convicted her
husband, and it seemed at last as though
her trials were about to have an end.
But alas, the relief was to come from
the source most dreaded. As she stood
in the shadow of the little low-eaved
station, one dismal November evening,
waiting with an anxious, beating heart
for the sound of the whistle of the train
that was to restore her husband to her
arms, the agent, in passing, saw her reel
and fall, dragging down with her the
little pale faced boy whose hand she held.
He picked her up and carried her in
side just as the whistle blew. The train
came to a standstill, and a rough,
oearded man sprang into the room, only
to clasp to his bosom the chill form of
the woman he loved best in all the
world.
The frantic shrieks of the child were
heart-rending, and it took strong hands
to tear him away from the cold form
of his mother.
After the first wild burst of anguish
was over, the bereaved and heart-broken
husband bethought him of her father,
who, while she was alive, so cruelly de
serted her. It was a long, bitter strug
gle, but a sense of duty impelled him,
and he dispatched a telegram to her
father in Memphis, acquainting him
with her death.
Then the proud heart repented, and a
deep sense of the wrong he had done
over-whelmed the father and he came
on the next train to offer restitution for
his unnatural conduct. He besought
his son-in-law to permit him to take her
FOR SKINDiSEASES
And Blood Poisoning. Doctor Re
commends Cuticura Because It
Has Never Failed.
Cured In 3 Months, Salt Rheum of
20 Years’ Standing Where All
Other Remedies Failed.
It gives me pleasure to recommend your Cun-
Cuba Remedies to all who are troubled with the
various forms of skiti diseases and blood poison.
1 have prescribed your Cuticuba on several
occasions,and it has never failed to give good
results. I remember of one special case Iliad,
■where all other remedies failed until I tried your
Cuticuba Remedies. After using Cuticura,
Cuticuba Soap, and Cuticura Resolvent, the
patient was sound and well. She was troubled
with salt rheum, and had been a sufferer for
over twenty years. After beginning the use of
Cuticura Remedies, she was cured sound and
well in three months.
Dr. M. K. JENKINS,
238 Houston St., Atlanta, Ga.
Acted Like a Charm.
My wife had eczema on her hand for about five
years, tried a great many so-called remedies, but
they all utterly failed. lat last induced her to
try your Cuticura Remedies, and am pleased
to say they acted like a charm, and although it
was a year ago, it has not troubled her since. I
will strongly recommend your Cuticura Reme
dies for all such diseases.

home and lay her to rest beside her
mother.
The husband thought of the years of
sorrow and privation which she had en
dured there alone, and of the cruel
taunts and sneers of her hard-hearted
neighbors, and with a keen pang of ut
ter bereavement, consented,and refused
all the generous offers of her father to
assist him and to help him begin life
anew and to take the boy and rear and
educate him.
The boy was all he had left to re
mind him of the cherished life that had
faded from the sphere of mental exist
ence, and he naturally resented any of
fer to assist him as almost an affront.
But the crowning blow was yet to
come. When the casket containing the
remains of all that was not immortal
of the unfortunate young wife was
placed aboard the cars, and the train
rolled away, the child became frantic.
“Oh, mother, mother! Don't take
my mother away! Comeback, mother!”
he cried, in an ecstacy of grief, until he
became insensible, and his father car
ried him in his arms to bis desolate and
and darkened home.
When consciousness was restored he
found that reason had flown. The boy
had become an idiot.
He was so harmless and inoffensive
that gradually his father permitted him
to wander about, and his sole idea seem
ed to be to watch the trains as they pass
ed by, believing that she would return,
and for ten years he has visited the sta
tion regularly, when the train is due,
and on its arrival scans the cars eagerly,
and as it starts off, repeats that wild, de
spairing cry, “Oh, mother, mother!
Don’t take my mother away! Come
back mother!”
After it passes from sight he lapses
into his listless manner, taking little in
terest in anything. He is a child still,
in actions, though a full grown man in
stature.
That night when I boarded the train,
I caught a glimpse of that haggard,
white face through the window, and
then came that heart-rending cry.
