ROME GEORGIA. JUNE 20. 1895.
The library meeting will be one
of unusual interest this evening.
Don Felix Corput says that Cave
Spring district is going to read the
declaration of independence this fall.
The sympathies of the entire coun
try go out to the afflicted family of
Georgia’s Governor in their time of
trial.
The fellow who thinks that drink

I the work.
| The “Life and Times of C. G. Mem-
B mington,” the confederate secretary

Capers, who was in the city yester-
R day; is one of the finest contributions

HOME PAPER FOR HOME PEOPLE-
“Theseare days of cheap newspa
pers,” writes C. H. Talmage, Os the
West Union (Iowa) Gazette in News
paperdom. “With the wonderful type
set-ting maehifiO Alld fast pressed, Uy
which one of the former with one man
does the work of five compositors such
as we must employ, the presses print
ing 15,000 an hour where it takes us
half a day to print 1500, it can readily
be seen that the country printer is
not in it, nor ever will be,ln competi
tion with modern systems.'But while
these cheap papers will do their part
in advancing the education and civili
zation of the age by enabling all to
participate in the culture of the times,
they do not and cannot fill the place
of the home paper. They have no
more interest in the affairs of your
own cou^ c y t] ian in the affairs of any
otb°7 county. They may give an
abundance of cheap reading, but they
never spend money to learn of and tell
the events of your neighborhood, nor
have they a personal interest in your
welfare, joying over your joys and
mourning when you mourn.”
That language is as true as script
ure. Take, as an instance, The Tri
bune, we are devoting column after
column of free and unlimited, adver
tising to Rome and Floyd bounty
which, if the same matter were re
printed in any of these big dailies at
a distance, would not cost less than
fifty dollars a column.
We are doing this pro bono publico,
“Where thy treasures are there will
thy heart be also,” and our treasures
areright here in Rome and Floyd
countyand we are with them heart
and soul, and expect to be to the end.
We feel an abiding interest in every
thing that concerns the welfare of our
beautiful city and the people thereof,
and we believe that if the people
could be brought to realize our true
position that the subscription list to
The Tribune would double in a
month.
THE “NO FENCE” CAMPAIGN.
The telling work of the campaign
for the “no fence” t election is now to
be done. The registration is ended,
and the number of electors qualified
to vote at the election is known. It
will be the effort of the workers on
the. opposing sides to try and convince
those who have not made up their
minds.
The issue, it seems, is so one-sided
that it ought not to require more than
a statement of what is meant by the
“no fence” law to convince every voter
who has not an ax to grind that the
“no fence” law is especially desirable.
In a few words, it is a law to require
the owners of cattle to fence them
in and to permit the cultivation of
crops in uninclosed fields.
Under existing the crops
must pe fenced, and cattle are per
mitted to run at large. The conse
quence is that hundreds of acres of
land that might be made productive
of cereals, vegetables, or fruits, are
lying idle and unproductive, because
of the lack of means by those who
would otherwise farm the lands to
pay for and keep the fences in repair.
Meanwhile the lands are overrun with
cattle that are almost worthless*. The
whole herd is probably worth less in
money than would be the value of the
crops that would be raised the first
year on lands reclaimed under the
“no fence” law.
Besides depriving a large number
of persons of the privilege of planting
and cultivating lands at present idle,
the roaming cattle fill up and virtual
ly destroy the expensive and necessa
ry drains of the county, by their con
tinued crossing and reerossing, push
ing the -dirt into the ditches and
canals with their hoofs. It need hard
ly be said that the stopping of the
drains nullifies the very purpose of
their construction, which includes the
improvement of the health of the city
and the making fit for cultivation of
the lands of the county. The public
health is menaced by the stopped
drains, not only through the miasma
of stagnant water, but also through
some of the milk served in the city,
because of the drinking of the stag
nant water, by milch cows that are
permitted to run at large.
The “no fence” law is not a measure
to impose upon anybody, or to de
prive anybody of their rights. On
the other hand, it prevents imposi
tions, and confers the privilege of
making a living, and maybe more
than a living, upon a number of per
sons who are now denied that privi
lege virtually by the owners of the
roaming cattle.—Savannah News.
The volume of “Southern Song”,
which Miss Clark, of the Georgia
Normal and Industrial College, Mil
ledgeville, is editing, will make its
appearance at an early day. Miss
Clark has literary taste, and is as
sisted by several prominent scholars
in her work; and it is safe to predict
that it will be a valuable addition to
American literature. It will contain
the representative poets of the South,
from the colonial age to the present,
and will no doubt be accorded a happy
reception.
THE ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JUNE 20. 1895.
A Faded Valentine.
To An Unforgotten One.
long ago I learned the story,
That sweet story old,
Fell upon my life the glory
Like a blaze of gold;
That la why my heart-strings broken
Still in fondnese twine
Close around thee, love’s sweet token,
Faded Valentine.'
When that broad and winding river
Through its valleys green
And the west winds softly quiver,
Now the vanished scene
Rises up in all its gladness
Like a dream divi’ e.
As I read thee in my sadness,
P’aded Valentine!
Once again the love-light tender
In her langbing eyes
Shines as shone the at.ars in splendor
In those Summer skies,
And the timid birds are Ringing
On the budding vine,
Thy message in my (heart ,is ringing,
Faded Valentine!
Ecenes of rapture long departs d
Never to leturn,
Though I wander broken hearte d.
By faith's shattered urn;
Still those memories are thronging
In life’s drear dtc.ine.
Buried joys and hopeless longing,
Faded Valentine!
Montgomery M. Fohbtn.
At Cave Spring.
Whenever I grow sufficiently famous
and wealthy that I can retire from the
crowded arena of public life and activ
ity; lam going to Cave Spring and se
cure a cottage home among the quaint
and restfnl scenes and surroundings of
that little remnant of Eden and enjoy
the spiritual side of life. I am going
there where I can commune in undisturb
ed composure with nature and God,
Last evening I went down there
to the closing exercises of the School
for the Deaf. Os course I knew 1 was
going to have a good time before I went
but I never dreamed of such a feast as
had been prepared for me. There was
the usual cordial greeting from Prof. W.
O. Connor, the usual welcome from his
wife and charming daughter, who has
just finished her course at the Normal
and Industrial school at Milledgeville.
After supper j sat out on the cool pi
azza and watched the tide of daylight
ebb along the western shore of day.
Down at the foot of the gentle eminence
I could see the gleam of the silver wa
ters of Cedar creek, andon the green
beneath the purple shadows of the great
trees the fireflies flashed like silver
sparks from the laboratory of stars.
Down where the placid waters lay
calm and serene in the glamour of the
golden dusk, three maidens were weav
ing bright hued blossomed for their
shining hair. Voiceless maidens upon
whose numbed senses have never fallen
the rythm of the summer winds nor
the melody of falling waters. In
their eloquent sign language they were
holding lively converse and smiles of
happy girlhood illumined their sinlesS
faces.
As I watched them the thought came
to me that they understood the language
of those flowers, more eloquent by far
than paeans of poetry, the universal
language in whose unspoken under
tone is heard the still small voice of God.
They read it in the curl of a leaf, the
tint of a flower, the ripple of water and
in the broad field of heaven so thickly
ly sown with a harvest of stars.
But there was more to follow. Up
three flights of stairs Wj went trooping,
and in the great hall above an exptec
ant audience was assembled. By and
by the curtain arose, and for two short
hours we watched them on the stage,
act in pantomine, their difficult parts
with all the ease and grace of trained
veterans, without a word of /command
or direction throughoht the entertain
ment.
It was something wonderful. With
mystic regularity they swung the dumb
bells and Indian clubs, or with twink
ling feet the bright eyed little girls
danced around the ribbon wreathed
May pole, with attentive eyes flashing
with intelligence on their fair young in
structors in the art of physical culture
and training.
Then we laughed while under the di
rection of Prof. Freeman, they acted
the most laughable farces with the keen
est appreciation of the humorous and
ludicrous situations imaginable. One of
them, John Kilroy, a Savannah boy of
Irish parentage, is a natural born actor
and as a clown he was inimitable and
irresistible.
Theft We enjoyed the beautiful 'bffects
of their passing in tableaux Under the
guiding eye of Miss Posey, ivhich was
something to remember, I have never
enjoyed an evening nrbre in all my va
ried experience than that among those
dumb children, ttefc loss of two of whose
faculties has so broadened, deepened and
enriched all the rest. M. M, F.
London, June 18.—The sensation of
the day in political circles here is the
announcement of The Times that Mr.
Gladstone has withdrawn from his
pairing agreement with the Right Hon.
Charles Villiers, member of parliament
for the first division of Wolverhamp
ton. The Liberals are greatly alarmed
at this action upon the part of Mr.
Gladstone, and the Unionists are cor
respondingly jubilant.

DE. SMITH’S NEW SONG.
The Author of “America" Dedicates a
Hymn to the Endeavorers.
A new song has been written by the
Rev. S. F. Smith, author of “America.”
He has dedicated it to the Christian En
deavorers. It runs as follows:
Arouse ye, arouse ye, O servants of God!
His right arm your strength and your leader
his rod.
Oh, haste from the north, from the south to
his call.
His cause shall prevail. He shall reign over all
Farewell to your dreaming, no longer delay.
Go tell the glad tidings. God's hand points the
way. .
Go forward, go forward to c-nquer or die.
God will make sure the victory.

Valuable If True.
Mr. C. H. Mayhew, assistant geologist,
found some specimens of rock on the land
of Mr Frank Freeman, three miles north
of Greenville, that he thinks is mag
netic iron ore. He will determine the
character of the rock as soon as he can so
cure satisfactory tests. If it turns out to
be magnetic iron and there is much of it,
the discovery Will prove a very valuable
find, as the ore is worth 87 or $8 a ton
Mr. Mayhew’s attention was called to these
rocks by being told that fragments on the
surface were very heavy and that some
chestnut trees standing near by had been
struck by lightning frequently and torn to
pieces. Mr. Mayhew is giving Meriwether
rocks a close inspection. He is a practical
man and investigates thoroughly and close

VIOLET PANE?
*
The Well Known Lady Currie Uses Her
Influence With the Sultan of Turkey.
Lady Currie, better known by her pen
name of Violet Fane, has quickly made
her mark as British ambassadress at Con
stantinople, and, from all I hear, there has
never, since the accession of the present
sultan, been a foreign lady who stood so
high in the good graces of his Ottoman
majesty, who loses no occasion of paying
her marked attention. Her influence at
bis court she used in »very efficacious
manner the other day.
A Dr. Paehayan, an Armenian Chris
tian, had been convicted of some treasona
ble practice or other at Constantinople and
been sentenced to death. A few days prior
to the date fixed for the execution of the
sentence his fiancee called upon Lady Cur
rie, threw herself at the embassadress’
knees and made a passionate appeal to her
excellency to help her to secure a cemmu
tatlon of the doctor’s sentence. Violet
Fane, who is the most Warm hearted
Woman imaginable, as htay be gathered
from the pretty poems that she has pub
lished from time to time, was much
moved and 'prokeised to do what she could
at the YiWizkiosk.
It tjkppened that the next day was Fri
day, tifC 'day of the Salamlik—that is, the
eereVhony cf the sultan's going to prayers
w=4»nd on his return from the mosque, see
ing Lady Currie and her husband near the
entrance of the palace, he invited them to
take refreshments with him in one of the
pavilions of the gardens. Lady Currie
availed herself of the opportunity to appeal
to the clemency of the sultan in behalf of
the condemned man. On learning that she
was interested in his fate, he informed her
that her request would be granted, and a
few hours afterward one of his aids-de
camp carried to the embassy not merely
a commutation of the death sentence,
which was all that she had ventured to ask
for, but a free pardon for the doctor.
Since then the Armenian population nt
Constantinople swears by Isuly Currie,
who has become in the eyes of the people
one of the most Important personages of
the empire, since it was altogether unprec
edented that a commander of the faithful
should thus publicly yield to the charms
of a foreign woman—aye, and of a grand
mother at that, ns Lady Currie has several
children by her first marriage to Mr. Sin
gleton, who have children of their own.—
