PARKS, BRANNON & CO. • • HELLO, NED BRADFORD !” That Was the Call From the Tribune to Cedartown, The circuit is completed and last night Mr. Folsom, in the Tribune office, pulled down the lever and yelled: “Hello, Ned Bradford!” “Hello, yourself,” came in a deep baritone voice. “What’s that on your breath ?” “Sorghum juice.” “How the deuce are yon, anyhow ?” “Fair, fat and forty,” came the reply with the accompaniment of one of those guileless chuckles for which Ned is famous. Itj brought back memories of last thanksgiving, out at Mr. Ake’s when the turKey was brought to the table. That chuckle is a mingled expression of triumph and gratitude. The connection was made last night and Houston Hardwick caused the receiver to get hoarse.and cracked the diaphragm, yelling a message of un dying fidelity to his girl in Columbus, Ga. ; It is a complete success. The head quarters are in Bradford’s drug store and the Cedartown folks can hear the democratic roosters crowing in Rome without any trouble.

A lamp was found burning on a table and a pile of poker chips and some cards and small change were found scattered around.

But it was found afterwards that a who had been barred out of the game had fired a cannon cracker against the window, carrying the glass, curtain and all into the room and flightening the oc cupants of the room out of their wits.

THUBBDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1896 MAY OPEN MONDAY Colored School Childieu May Use the Churches OF THE ROME COLORED PEOPLE Until the Building For Thein, Destroyed by Fire, is Roplaced-Effort In That Direction. The negro public school may be opened next Monday. In fact it looks very much as if that will be the case, though the board has not acted as yet. ' At the meeting day before yesterday, on motion of Judge Max Meyerhardt, a committee was appointed to see if some place could not be securee where the schools could be opened, and Judge Meyerhanit and Oapt. N, H. Bass were appointed on the committee. Yesterday this committee met and con ferred with the pastors of the'churchs for colored people in the city. The mat ter was laid before them that unless some thing was done the schools would hav? to close down for several months; that if the churches were secured the grade could be divided out among the various churche buildings, blackboards put up and the board might see its away to wards keeping the schools open, begin ning again next Monday. The pastors were all pleased with the idea, and there is no doubt, practically, about securing the churches. Both members of the committee favor the opening of the schools in this manner next Monday. Tomorrow the board wilj hear the committee’s report, and doubt less adopt the idea. If so, Sunday’s Tribune will tell at what churches the different grades will be located. TWENTY-FIVE SUITS.

VIEWS OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN n Hie Letter of Acceptauce, 1876, on Un sound Finance, Resulting in the increased purchas ing power of the gold standard dollars and the fall of prices as measured by isuch. Uncertainty Is the prolific parent of mischief in all business. Men do noth ing, because they are unable towaie any calculations on which they may safely rely for profit. They under take nothing, because they fear a loss in everything they would, on a fall ing market. They hope and wait for stable prices for their goods. The merchant dares not buy for the future consumption of his customer knowing full well his in ability to consume. The manufac turer dares not make fabrics which car not refund his outlay for want of consumers. He shuts his factory and discharges his workmen. Capitalists cannot lend on security they consider unsafe under a constant fall in values, and their funds lie almost without in terest. Men of enterprise who have credit or securities to pledge will not borrow because he cannot invest in any productive enterprise without loss. The people need to know that the government is moving in the direc tion of ultimate safety and prosperity, and that it is doing so through prud eat, sate and conservative methods which will be sure to inflict no new sacrifice on the business of tbecoun try. Then the inspiration of new life and confidence in the ability to earn profit will hasten the restoring processes of nature and prosperity will raturn to all engaged in productive pursuits with absolute certainty.
