ROME GEORGIA. JUNE 22, 1895.
Read Sunday’s Tribune.
Gov. Atkinson’s fight for life has
been one to excite the admiration of
all people.
The crippled snake striking out
blindly at every thing in reach is lia
ble to strike itself some day.
According to the New York Herald,
they don’t have to suicide in Savan
nah. They get killed by one another
down there.
Coxey and Carl are at loggerheads
over the “Angel of Peace.” It is not
the first time blood has been shed to
promote peace.
Henry T. Mclntosh is now a partner
in the publication of the Albany Her
ald. We welcome him into the calling
and wish for him success.
The Rome Tribunec is certainly
geting there. Eight pages of bright,
crisp news matter should satisfy the
Romans. —Brunswick Call.
The donkey that is frightened by
his own braying is often foolish
enough to think that others take the
racket for the roar of a lion.
The hearts of the people breathe a
prayer of thankfulness that the crisis
is so nearly passed and that Governor
Atkinson is in a fairway to recover.
They can jump on Miss Willard if
they wish, but the man, white or
black, who rapes a white woman in
the south or anywhere else, is going
to be killed.—Augusta Herald.
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser
says that Georgia now stands as the
best state in the Union. That is just
where she has always stood, Brother
Wrench.
The temperance people of Bartcw
county should look to the important
matter of a proper representation of
the country at the state convention
to meet in Rome.—Courant Ameri
can.
To read the expressions of some
over-enthusiastic but inconsiderate
people one would suppose that divine
Providence had nothing to do with
the saving from death of Georgia’s
stricken govenor.
The sweet girl graduate in her “sim
ple muslin gown” has gone home with
her golden hair hanging down herback
says the Savannah Press. Editor Sto
all left out her “reluctant feet.” They
are part and parcel and frequently a
larger part, of the s. g. g.—Thomas
ville Times.
The News editor at Hot Spring!
writes that his health is beginning
to improve, so possibly he will write
some letters for the News soon. From
what I have heard of that famous re
sort I fancy a reflective editor could
find rich material for his “stockpot.”
—Chattooga News.
The contemptible efforts of irre
sponsible parties to influence the
teachers of Floyd county against the
Tribune would be laughable if they
were not so pitiable. We challenge the
world to show a newspaper that has
championed the cause of higher edu
cation more sincerely than the Tri
bune.
A NOBLE WORK.
The teachers of Floyd county have
just completed a week of noble work
that will bear good fruit in after days.
There is no class of people in the
world who more fully appreciate the
value of advanced methods than the
teachers. For the most part they are
personally familiar from experience,
with the defects that have heretofore
existed as obstacles in the way of
higher education.
Appreciating these facts they are
anxious to take advantage of every
idea that will enhance the progress
and success of their work in the no
blest cause in Christendom, the teach;,
ing and training of the youth of the
country. During the week at the
institute they have displayed zeal and
earnestness and merit of a high order,
and they will carry with them into
their daily work a large fund of
knowledge acquired in the exchange
of thought with their co-laborers in
the field of education.
SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.
The following is from the Macon
Herald and we commend it to the
careful consideration of the people of
Waycross:
“The advice to patronize home in
dustry has become trite, but like many
other trite sayings, it has a world of
truth in it.
“A city depends for its development
on people who live within its limits.
If a considerable portion of the com
munity takes its trade away from
home, just to that extent is the op
portunity of their fellow citizens im
paired.
“There is no excuse why anything
that can be bought in Macon should
be bought by Macon people elsewhere.
This is sound political economy. When
a dollar is spent in Macon for Macoa
made goods, it stays right here, and
being in circulation will in time come
back to the man who spent it. This
is as certain a principle in economics
as the circulation of blood is in phys
ics. The reverse is true that every dol
lar sent away for the purchase of goods
which can be secured here, by just
that much reduces the amount of
money in circulation.
“Money is to the body politic wbat
blood is to the physical body. You
can cut an artery and the patient be
comes weak and his system becomes
deranged from loss of blood. Just so
if there is a constant drain on the
money supply of the town. The town
becomes weak, and unless the outflow
is stopped in time your town sinks in
to a comatose state and ultimately
dies of inanition.”—Macon Herald.
Th«t is just the argument that we
have been using in season and out of
season. Let Romans patronize Rome.
Mutual dependence is something
that we cannot eliminate from our so
cial economy. If we cause the com
munity to prosper it is only by help
ing each other, and in so doing
we help ourselves. The Herald is coi
rect. Patronize home industries and
home institutions.
NO HOPE FOR THIS.
The establishment of a magazine in
which only contributions rejected by
other periodicals would be published
has often been proposed. Several at
tempts of that kind have been made
from time to time, but so far without
success, and a little consideration will
show that this result is not surpris
ing.
There are three very forcible rea
sons why a magazine of this character
could not possibly succeed. In the
first place it would have no contribu
tions, unless it offered exceptionally
high prices and did not forbid the use
of non de plumes, for it is obvious
that no author would care to ad ver"
tise his non-success by appearing in its
pages. In the second place the mag
azine would have no readers, except
among its few contributors, because
no one would wish to read what has
been considered unworthy of publi
cation, where there is so much accept
ed ynatter to be read. In the third
place there would be no advertise
ments, for with such an exceedingly
limited circulation and such poor con
tributors even the belt and smartest
advertising manager could be of little
service.
Os course the magazine might strive
or a high standa' d,might accept only
such articles as might merit publics
t'qp despite their i ejection from oth
er periodicals. But eren then its con
tributions would only be a selection
of what it considered best from a mass
of matter that has met with disap
proval elsewhere, and however good
they were comparatively, they would
still be a shade lower in quality to
those appearing in other periodicals.
Consequently no matter how high a
standard the magazine tried to set,
the articles it published would have
the stamp of inferiorty and no one
would care to buy it.
For these reasons we feel safe in
saying that a magazine having for its
purpose the publication of rejected
contributions, could never be success
fully established.
The beetle is buzzing again.

And all their rare

The l.»-t faint spaik
Beyond the purple bars
From heavens deep
Embrazures peep
A thousand glittering stare;
But, all the light

Thy presence puts to shame
As eveiy ray

Sw< jt Roses.
He who lives within the realms of
fancy lives twice as long as his less for
tunate fellow because he lives double the
time while he is living. Tr’.e, if you
must, all the practical successes of mor
tal existence if you will but leave me my
dreems. I was moping along among
the fog banks of the blues this morning
when a servant entered the sanctum
bearing a waiter of royal roses from Mrs.
L. P. Hairmond.
I know that Mrs. Hammond must
have had some prescience of my mental
condition when she started those roses
on their mission of hope and joy. If
there is one thing that I adore more
than another it is roses. They used to
grow in wild profusion in the land
where I was born, and clambered wild
and free around the cottage door when
my heart was happy as a mote dancing
in a sunbeam.
A person who is fond of flowers, who
really loves them for their own sweet
sake, is bound to have some good in his
nature. The man is never entirely lost
t > the world who treasures those incar
nations of the smiles of God. Those
roses have awakened in my soul a long
train of pleasant memories and I feel
better for their sweet influence.
The wanderer upon the face of the
earth, as I.am, has one consolation. If
he cannot have flowers of his own, he
can feast his senses on the rose gardens
of others. The perfume of the roses is
like the salvation of God it is free for
all mankind. Their beauty is lavished
a’ike on the king in his palace and the
beggar at the gate.
I often wonder why it is that every
one that has a rod square of earth of
his own does not grow a few roses.
There is more comfort and consolation
in the unfolding of the blush rose than
there is in the accomplishment of many
a less worthy ambition. They all are
heaven’s fairest blessings and often
one of the least appreciated.
Hidden away among my most tender
ly cherished treasures is a poor little
withered rose. The brightness has left
its petals and the fragrance faded from
its golden heart long ago, but it is em
balmed in memories more sacred than
linger around the tombs of princes. The
story of a life time of love is entombed
in its memories.
Sometimes I take it from its hiding
place and gaze reverently, upon its faded
glories. And then there comes a blaze
of light, strains of musio animate the
vib.ant aw, and 1 sigh for the touch of
a vanished band and the sound of a voice
that is still. Thej sluggish current of
life leaps madly and its shores are ilium
mined by the light of another world.
Ah me! Dreams, idle dreams, and
yet, of a 1 ! my treasures, 1 am leT only
my dreams. These roses have waked
from their lurkirg places all the vrgrant
sprites of fancy. That fair faced woman
little knew that she was acting the role
of a magician when she sent the roses
away on the-" joyous mission. There
are many fancies that must remain un
voiced while I revel in the bght and life
and refreshing fragrance of the roses.
