Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE A ROYAL GOOD TIME Is What the Excursionists Had Who Went to Lookout. WAS A PLEASANT DAY ALL AROUND And Was Most Heartily Enjoyed by Al Who Went Up on the Excursion. • The excursion to Lookout was one • of the most pleasant of the season. Those who were so fortunate as to be on hand are still talking about it. While the crowd was not so large as those who got it up desired it to be, still it was made very enjoya ble by the careful management of Mr. H. S. Lansdell and panned out very well. Rhudy & Co. are making great headway with their furniture sales at their big store on Broad street. An incentive to purchasers is the fact that for thirty days, beginning Monday last, they give ten per cent, of each day’s sales to the St. Peter’s ■church fund. They have a very handsome and well selected stock of goods at the very lowest prices, and it is the op portunity of the season. Saturday the ladies will have on i hand ice cream and refreshments all •day at Rhudy’s and invite all their .friends to call. Triday afternoon the members of all the committees are requested to meet at the library at five o’clock to discuss important business. The Rome Electric Street Railway Company has donated one day’s pro ceeds on all their lines to the fund. They will take charge of the cars on Thurs day, June 27+ a married lady, with two young ladies to assist her on each car, with music and refreshments at Lytle’s park and refreshments at the North Rome park. The contribution committee, consisting of Madames C. Rowell, B. T. Haynes, H. S. Lansdell, John C. Printup, Halsted Smith, A. R. Sullivan, Junius Hillyer, W. H. Adkins, ■Samuel Funkhouser, R. V. Mitchell, W. J. Nunnally, J. L. Johnson, Thomas Fahy. T. J. McAffrey, A. Moses, J. Loeb, Ike May, A. B. McDonald, J. A. •Glover, E. L. Bosworth, H. D. Hill and Ethel Hillyer Harris, will continue the work of soliciting subscriptions and it is hoped that they will meet with a liberal response from every • citizen of Rome.

I am in my seventy-third year, and for fifty years I have been a great sufferer from indigestion, constipa tion and billiousness. I have tried all the remedies advertised for these dis eases and got no permanent relief. , About one year ago, the disease as suming a more severe and dangerous form, I became very weak and lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using Dr. H. Mozleys Lemon Elixir, I gained twelve pounds in three months. My strength and health, my appetite and my digestion were perfectly restored And now I feel as young and vigo ■orous as I ever did in my life. L. J. Alldred, Door-keeper, Ga, State Senate. ; State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5, 86. August, 1891.—1 again indorse the Above letter. L. J. Alldred. . WEDI>ED EAST NIGHT, Two Prominent Colored People Married at Church. Last evening at eight o’clock, at the A. M. E. church, J. H. Malone And Alice C. Davis, two of the lead ing people as the uppertendom, were married, Rev. D. Strickland officiat ing. The bride is teacher of the fifth 1 grade in the public schools and one the best in the colored branch of P the schools, and the g.-oom is the 5 trusted employe of the Rome Brick : company, having been with that con cern for eight years. The church was beautifully deco rated; there was a large assemblage present, and after the wedding there was a reception given at the home of the bride, No. 5 Gibson street," that ■was largely attended. , TOPICS OF THE TO WN. Short Stories and Select Gossip Caught on the Ran. , While I was lounging around Cave Spring, waiting for the Cannon Ball train to take me to East Rome, via Van’s Valley and the town with two names; Hon. Felix Corput came tlong with his grey mare and asked ne if I would like to take a ride. I ;old him I was in a condition to take anything I could lay my hands on, md away we went toward the Valley farms of the Big Cedar. There is a fascination about, that stream that is captivating. From its head in the D ugdown mountains, where the rhododendrOtis and the mountain laurels dip fragrant locks in the spray of Hightower falls, all the way down to the Coosa river, it is a stream that is fair to look upon. There are more mill wheels along its cour e than any stream of the same size I ever saw. We drove by Capt. Corput’s pet farm where I saw a field of ten or fifteen acres of as pretty corn as I ever saw. His methods „of improve ment, fertilization and cultivation, are object lessons to those who per. sist in slacker methods. He is going to gather fifty or sixty bushels of corn to the acre oft that field, and his wheat crop, just harvested, was very good indeed. His cotton, though knocked all to flinders by the hail storm, is looking well, as in fact the cotton crops all along the valley are as far as we went. There are some splendid lands along that "valley, and when we drove to the top of Glenn hill, and got a view of the valley, I don’t think my eyes ever feasted on a more inspiring scene. It is a perfect picture of variegated loveliness, just now, with the blue peaks of Signaljnountain for a back ground, and here and there a fine old country home, with fruited orchards, grassy meadows, waving fields and lusty woodlands, with the flash of sunlit waters intervening. The scene was one to dream about and to treas ure up in the heart for future con sideration. Capt. Corput has a farm of wood land, valley and stream of 640 acres, which is just so situated as to be sus ceptible of the highest improvement and if he carries out his designs it will some day be an ideal farm. He is a man of advanced ideas and is demon strating the value of improved meth ods, and outside of his personal at tractiveness, is a very useful citizen. We visited the mill that Connor bought and the empty fish pond where Connor’s carp used to sport in in the transluctent waters. But the cyclone blew the top of the mill off and the rains came and the floods de scended and washed the dam of the carp pond and the carp of the dam pond into the whenceness of the whither and the pond is as empty as a last year’s bird’s nest. But as a compensation, there is a wa ter fall there at that old mill that is sim ply exquisite. The water pours over in a crystal sheet and dashing down among the willows loses itself in the placid current and there is some scenery there that is restful to behold. Harper’s hill is the only eyesore oa the face of creation, and it looks like it regretted the fact as much as we do. It was a few years ago, a beautiful wooded eminence, rising in the mildest of the valley, with Little Cedar brawling always at its base. But Harper decided that it was too good a bartering place for evil spirits and he cut every vestige of timber off. Now it stands there like a bald-headed man at an Epworth League meeting with the sassafras shrubs, like stray bristles on its cheerless slopes. It is a glorious country there along that valley. Those |who have cultivated and taken care of tjheir lands have some of the finest farms in Georgia. It is a land of corn and wine, milk and honey, but it has never been brought up to that high water mark of tillage which would bring out all its grander possibilities. Such men as Capt. Corput, and others of his enterprising neighbors, however, are doing all they can and will come out triumphant in the end. That scrofulous taint which has been in your blood for years, will be expelled bv taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier. • Fruit does not require cooking when Miller’s preserving tablets are I used.

THE HEAVY ROOF FELL IN ON THEM They had Neglected to Properly Brace it and the Wind Brought it Down About Their Ears. Yesterday morning there came near be ing a tragic accident in the rear of the Burney Tailoring Company. A number of workmen were engaged in raising the roof of the rear end of the building, and the contractor had raised the roof with braces and jack screws till it was on a level. He had neglected to secure it laterally and was just fixing to put in the braces when a puff of wind came and the roof began swaying, the props fell out of plumb, and down came a portion of the roof with a crash. A cloud of dust filled the room and out of the falling debris these men groped their way and was greeted by the con ■ gratulations of the excited [crowd, who expected to find that some of them had been either killed or seriously hurt. In a shotrt while the place was cleared sufficiently for the contractor to resume operation and the work was resumed after the walls and roof had been more carefully braced to avert a repetition of the dangerous catastrophe. “NOTIFY THE POSTMAN.” Funny Idea. Concerning the Changing the Name of New York. The New York Sun is a gay old paper, but now and then it finds a foeman worthy of its steel. Here are some communications in regard to suggesting new names for the greater New York: To the Editor of the Sun —Sir: I see by your paper that you are hav ing some difficulty in determining on a name for the united cities around New York. I offer as a suggestion the name Holyoke. We would will ingly give up the name, and if you took it it would be the means of mak ing your town known in the world. We could take New York for our name. It would not hurt us, as we are too well known to be forgotten. If you wish to make the change I will notify our postman. H. A. C. Holyoke, Mass., June 17. To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: Great er New York is almost as bad a name as Constantinople. “Great York” is the name for the future city. Not Old York, nor New York, hut Great York, as short and true as it is possi ble to put it. It keeps enough of the old name for purposes of identifica tion, and it is enough of a new name to assauge Brooklyn’s repugnance to taking the name of a rival. When the new name and the new city are born together no one’s susceptibilities can be hurt, unless they are seeking a grievance and excuse for objection. Great York. To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: The communications you have published concerning a new name for the con solidated metropolis are interesting and timely. Columbia sounds well, and is com memorative of one whose name the people love to honor. W. O. D. June 17, 1895. Car fresh melons just re ceived to be sold at low price. Call on Gen. F. Chidsey &Son.

BURWELL YS BALLEW A Vindication of the Defendant in the Case. IT GREW OUT OF THE FAMOUS CASE In Which Col. A. W. Ballew Was Involved In a Cause Celt*bre in the Federal Court. f Yesterday the case of Burwell vs. Ballew & Son, for the recovery of |l,Boo in pension money, was called in city court. This is another phase of the cause celebre, in which Col. Ballew was tried in the federai court in Atlanta, and a verdict rendered against him sometime ago. Lucy Burwell set up a claim that Col. Ballew and his eon Hurley Bal-> lew, were due her the money for .which they had compelled her to give them a check, and which, through her attorneys, Wright & Hamilton and Wright & Henry, she demanded back. The testimony of Mr. J. King, of the Merchants bank, was that she carried her check to the bank, had it cashed and counted, and then depos ited it in the bank. It was further proved that she gave her own check to Hurley Ballew for 1,800 and odd dollars, drawn up in the presence of witnesses, by J. B. Chamlee, and it was further shown that the act was done by her own vo lition and expressed wish, and that she had been bribed by either of the Ballews to give this check. The consideration proven was the fact that it was on record in the treasury department, that another woman had drawn the bounty money and monthly pages as the wife of the soldier, whose wife Lucy Burwell claimed to be, which had twice de feated the claims of the latter in her endeavors to get a pension prior to the coming into the case of the Bal lews. Hurley Ballew took this Burwell woman from place to plaee, to secure proofs showing that she was the law ful wife, and clearly establishing her right to the wages and the pension, for which service this money was given. The case was cut short, and the judge decided that the jnry find for tht defendants without leaving the bench. This was done, and was in the na ture of a complete vindication of the Ballews in this case, which has ex cited so much interest throughout the State. * Important Meeting.
