REGAL ROME.
(Continued from page 25.)
to the memory of the Confeder
ate dead who repose upon its
sunny slopes.
The Hebrew cemetery occu
pies a beautiful site upon one of
the treeclad hills of South Rome,
an ideal resting place for the
dead.
Lytle’s Park, with its grand
old trees, its grassy slopes, its
wealth of wild wood blossoms and
the cool perennial spring that
gushes forth at its base, is an
attractive pleasure resort. There
are lovely drives over hill and
dale and many a restful nook
near the river reaches for those
on pleasure bent, besides ample
smooth water for boating and
picnic grounds innumerable.
As an ideai resting place the
environs of Rome afford inde-
scribable attractions to all who
appreciate the prime beauties of
nature.
SOCIAL AND LITERATURE.
One of the most attractive
social organizations of Rome is
the Lanier Circle, named for the
poet, Sidney Lanier, and made
up of the choicest literary per
sonality ot the city. Its meet
ings are always well attended
and are prolific of instruction
and enjoyable entertainment.
The theatre-going element is
large, and at Nevin’s Opera
House, which is commodious
and tastefully arranged, with
ample seating capacity, the very
cneam of operatic and dramatic
talent, with the work of the most
eminent lecturers, is presented
during the season, as a rule to
most excellent houses, the audi- '
ences being cultured and appre
ciative. 1
The Public Library, under the
sponsorship of a capable body of 1
directors, and in charge of Miss 1
Lena Hargrove, Jr., the ener- ’
getic librarian, is in a very 1
prosperous condition, containing
a great number of volumes
embracing the whole range of
literature, neatly and systemati- ]
J J
cally. arranged for the conven
ience- of' members and visitors.
» The Epworth League is very
strong in the city and has a
large membership composed of
the foremost young people of
Rome.
The Keeley League has at
tractive club rooms of its own,
with a large resident and out
side membership.
IN CONCLUSION.
There is no healthier spot in
the world than Rome. Situated
among the breezy hills, tree from
all debilitations, and malarial
affections with abundant pure
water from the mountain springs
and with the life-giving ozone of
this elevation, our people enjoy
complete immunity from all dis
eases. prevalent in lower lati
tudes.
On the other hand, the mild
ness of our winters and equabili
ty of the year-round tempera
ture, with few extremes ot heat
and cold, absolve us from those
distressing pulmonary ailments
that exist in the countries that lie
further South.

?O YEARS I’HE
The mean temperature of
Rome, fixed after years of care
ful observation is about 6o de
grees, which is pronounced by
medical and scientific men to be
the average most conducive to
heavy snows being rare and the
ground seldom being deeply cov
ered, the snow disappearing in
a few daj's. Our rivers are never
frozen over or blockaded by ice,
nor is business ever interrupted
by stress of weather.
Our summers are simply de
lightful, the heat of the southern
latitude being tempered by the
mountain breeze. There are but
about ninety days of the year in
whtch flowers are not in bloom
and vegetation flourishing in the
open air.
Amid such surroundings it is
small wonder that oar people
enjoy an existence of unruffled 1
health and happiness tibat is un-l
known to the dwellers in less
favored localities and pass down
through blooming paths into the
green valleys of old age> pre-
serving to the last the kee» pre
ceptions of healthy life and! en
joyment of all the pleasures
thereof.
Take it from any possible
point of view, and there is no
place like Rome. Nature ha®
been lavish of ! her beautis®
around our devoted! city, and art
and industry have supplied all
that nature has left nuidone.
And the end is not? yet. Year
by year we are corwing more
fully into the full heritage of alii
that a generous i
vouchsafed us.
Our people are increasing in
the knowledge and progressive
enlightenment that erraWe hu
manity to more freely realize the
idealities of life.

extend a free and unreserved I
welcome to all who will cme and ,
dwell with us and partake of that ;
peace, plenty and prosperity |
which characterizes our grow- !

' upbuilding of the schools of the state
and the putting of Georgia upon a
firm and substantial educational
footing. No labor is too arduous
for him and when not confined at
his office at work for the good of
the department he may be found
going over the state arguing and
appealing for a better system. Not
satisfied with ha vi'igit good he al ways
wants to see it better. It is a great
work he is doing for the cause of
education. He is a level headed and
brainy men with the courage of his
convictions and an affable gentleman
