Do You Use It ?
It’s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
FOR SI.OO
22 Pounds Sugar.
12 Cans Corn.
10 Cans Peas.
10 Cans Beans.
We are after you, and if the best of
goods at prices suih as second-class
goods are sold will prove an uppetiz
ing bait, we will get you this time.
When and where di.l you ever buy
22 pounds of Granulated sugar, good
as money can buy, forsl. During the
next three days you can get it that
way from us. When you are told that
it is an off grade, and the best can’t
be sold at such pr’ces, invite the
know-all to come with you and see
what can and will be done.
The old prices 12 and 15c per can,
but we have promised to have bar
gains for you six days in the week,
and now you can get 12 cans of sweet
sugar corn for sl, 10 cans early June
peas for sl, 10 cans beans for sl.
Here it is, nothing like it ever of
sered in Rome, but our idea is to hold
what we have and cast our books into
the trade pond of our competitors and
get some of their best cusromers.

Attendance, Inspired Et« qiidx c«j and
Hol y Songs
Tbe service at the First Baptist
church last Sunday morning in mem
ory of Prof. Robert J. Gwaltney, the
late superintendent of the Sunday
school of that church, was interest
ing and impressive. Instead of the
usual Sunday-school exercises at 9:30
o’clock, the hour -was turned into a
memorial service, in, which all the
Sunday-schools of the city partici
pated.
The upstairs of the First Baptist
church was lull to overflowing with
Sunday-school children and workers.
The First Presbyterian Sunday-school
and the First Methodist school came
in bodies, while the other schools of
the city were well represented.
Mr. Charles E. Woodruff, the act
ing superintendent, had charge of the
exercises, and in a few tender and
well chosen words, stated the purpose
of the gathering.
Mr. Junius F. Hillyer, as chairman
of the committee on resolutions, pre
sented the report of his committee,
expressing, in appropriate language,
the character and worth of Professor
Gwaltney and the irreparable loss
sustained by the Sunday-school, tbe
church and the city in his death. Mr.
Hillyer spoke of his splendid Chris
tian character.
Other short addresses were made.
Hon. W. J. Neel, of the First Baptist
school, Mr. B. I. Hughes, of the First
Presbyterian school, and Mr. H. H.
McClure, of the First Methodist, all
spoke feelingly of the life, character
and influence of Prof. Gwaltney.
These were followed by remarks
from Mr. L. A. Dean,Mr. C. E. McLin
Capt. A. B. S. Moseley. Judge Joel
Branham and Mr. H. B. Parks.
The following touching resolutins were
offered by Mr. Junius F. Hillyer.
Reaolatious.
We have met to commemorate the vir
tues of our beloved brother Robert J.
Gwaltney, the late superintendent of this
Sabbath School who fell asleep in Jesus
on the 17th, of this month.
He was truly an exemplary man. He
loved Ch list, and ' he loved all of
Christ’s little ones. He showed his love
by his consistent obedience and submiss
ive faith. His life was a living epistle
known and read of all men, exemplifying
every where practical Godliness, and the
beauty of Holiness; and when he came to
die. as we all must in obedience to the
will of God. his love and faith did not
forsake him. His holy life was crowned
by a holy death.
This, therefore, is not an occasion
for mourning, but for exultation over
a great vieiory. -‘Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints.”
We do not mourn as those having
no hope. Our brother fought a good
light, be finished his course, he kept
the faith—henceforth there is laid up
for him a crown of righteousness
which the Lord, the Righteous Judge,
shall give him at that day.
Let us ’rise from the contemplation
of such a life and such a death, and,
with reverence, look towards our
King and say:
•‘The Lord reignetb. Let the earth
rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be
glad thereof. Righteousness and
judgment are the habitation of his
throne The Mighty God, even the
Lord, hath spoken.”
And now, in token of our apprecia
tion of the foregoing, be it resolved
First, That in the death of our be
loved brother, R. J. Gwaltney, this
city has lost a valued citizen, this
church a faithful member, this Sab
bath school a devoted, loving and ef
ficient superintendent.
Second, That while we weep to lose
his presence and influence, we rejoice
at the triumph of bis faith, and the
excellence of the works which do fol
low him.
Third, That our sympathy and love
be extended to his bereaved family,
and that a copy of these resolutions be
furnished them.
Respectfully submitted,
Junius F. Hillver,

Committee.
Dr. Headden closed the service and
the resolutions of respect were unan
imously adopted.
It was a peculiarly impressive occa
sion, and was a rare tribute to the
worth of a truly good man.
Rev. S. R. Belk preached a very able
sermon at the First Methodist church
Sunday morning. Hie subject was
‘‘Christian Manhood,” and through
out his entire discourse he was lis
tened to witli great interest. His text
was an extract from David’s last mes
sage to his son, Solomon:
Be thou strong therefore, and
show thyself a man.”
Air. Belk said in part:
“Nobler words never fell from the
lips of a father upon the ears of a
young and ambitious son than those
from the mouth of David upon the
heart of Solomon. They contain the
very sum and substance of nobility;
the quintessence of royal manhoo I.
THIS ROMJS TRIBUNK. TdftSPAY, OClOnEtc 27, IS «.
“For many long ages the world’s
conception of manhood was the in
carnation of physical strength. Mus
cular power, boundless and measure
less was one supreme thought of the
people. They combined this concep
tion of manhood into a God and called
it Jupiter. But the physical giant
became a pigmy, and the philosopher
became the highest conception of tbe
world’s ideal The thought of the
age was incarnated in Socrates, Plato
and Aristotle. But time?change and
men change with them. The esthetic
embodied the highest conceptions of
ideally, and intellectual genius began
to soar and sing, and chissel and
build. But world’s ideal passed
from Greece 'to Rome and
regal majesty ruled the realm of
R WR
REV. S. R. BELK.
ideality; that marvelous, majestic
power which commands men as Her
cules commanded muscle, as Plato
commanded thought, as Demosthones
eloquence; as Phidias artistic taste,
as Homer poetic genius, as apollo
commanded music. But livng today in
the golden period of the worlds his
tory we find the highest conception of
the ideal embodied in physical
strength and moral beauty; intellect
ual vigor and power of the thought,
force of character and Christian cul
ture.
“The kiugiiest gift on earth is
thought—the royal power to think!
Noiron fetters can imprison the mind,
no longitude nor latitude mark’ its
boundless dominion. Born of the in
finite God. the boundless universe is
its habitation! Starting from the era
die, it climbs a chain, whose links are
invisible, from known to unknown.
It lays its ear upon the fossilized and
petrified forms of buried ages and
tells the secrets of the past.
“The great need of this age is
strength and stability of character;
fearless, courageous manhood. Too
many young men are distinguished
for superficiality—culture only skin
deep. In this day when the standard
of virtue is measured by a mans ability
to bribe justice; when the fountain
of politics has been pointed by deceit
fraud and corruption; when the
tricks of learned and legalized
jugglery are practical in high places,
when the greed for money is the master
passion of the people; when utility is the
watch ward of philosophy and material
gains the/object and end of education;
when conjugal infelicities are scarely a
reproach; when the Christian home is
transformed into a club room and when
divorces are granted on the most frivolous
grounds, we need men who can stand up
boldly in the midst of this superficial
age, and lead the march to victory and
reformation! We need men wedded to
great principals, whose lines are immov
able as the evelasting mountains that
surround us! We need broad minded
large hearted men whose thoughts
and sympathies reach out beyond the
home circle! We need men of courage
and iortitude who can carry up the rug
ged mountains of life the heaviest bur
den without a murmer; men who count
it an honor to be defeated when elections
are corrupt; men who would rather be
right with the minority in apparent defeat
than to be wrong with the majority in
apparent triumph:
“I have no patience with that cowardly
whiner who sits down and puts on a
look-of injured innocence and says the
world does not appreciate him. I have
no patience with the young man who
goes around proclaiming that this is no
Coor man’s country—class legislation
as pinned in the rich and pinned out
the poor! lam willing to take off my
hat to the young man who can look
out into the future and say: There is
no law in state or nation that can keep
an honest boy from making an honor
able man. Take an illustration from
my own city, Rome. A poor boy -,vbo
made his own way from rhe start,
struggling with poverty and bitter
persecution, when the world stood
against him, he had the manhood to
stand alone. And Dr. Robert Battey,
the world-renowned physician, a man
I I can hardly’ speak of without seem-
I ing to indulge in indiscriminate eulogy
I— a man great among the greatest
; and good among the best, ‘whose
i whole life was a high table-laud with
out depressions,’ and of whom Dr.
Marion Sims said: ‘1 have never iu
uh my reading found in the annals of
surgery anything comparable to the
moral courage of Dr. Robert Battey.’
“And in conclusion, let me assure
the young men and young women of
our tunny Southland, that the closing
years of th® nineteenth century are
full of promise and hopefulness. You
begin life in this golden period of the
world’s history. As I look out into the
future, I can almost see the very dawn
of the twentieth century—our own na
tion the grandest government ou the
globe.”
Dr. Goetchius pleased his hearers with
a most elevating sermon delivered in his
usual eloquent and impressive manner
Following is a synopsis of his discourse:
Text Peter 2, 5 with verse 9 Tbe
topic of the sermon was the priesthood
of the believers.
Three points were discussed.
1 The distinctive properties of the
office .
2. The duties and privileges of the
office.
3. The design of the office.
These combined furnishes the strong
est grounds poss ble for cons, cration
and Christirn aotivilty. Every believer
should magnify his office by walking
worthy of his higher calling.
Rev. C. B. Hudgins entertained his
hearers with a magnificent discourse
from the following text:
“I charge thee, therefore. God and
the Lord Jesus Christ who shall judge
the quick and the dead at his appear
ing and his kingdom; preach the word;
be instant in season and out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long
suffering and doctrine. For the time
will come when they Will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; and
they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables.” —II Timothy iv; i-iv. The ser
mon was very much enjnved by a
large congregation. Mr. Hudgins is
one of the most earnest and able min
isters in the city.
Dr. McCraw pastor Rome Christian
church preached in his usurl eloquent
manner on American Citizenship con
tinned from last Sunday. He is giving
his congregations some of the finest ser
mons ever delivered in Rome. At pight
he preached to young men and women
on Character and Moral Stamina.

Candidate Bryan Talks to Students.
Jacksonville, Ills.. Ost. 26. Per
haps the noisiest demonstration that
was ever given any one within the walls
of the chapel of the Illinois college was
the one paid William Jennings Bryan
when he spoke to the students of the
college from which he graduated, and
the applause which greeted him seemed
out of place iu the room devoted to the
devotional exercises of the institution.
His address, while of a political nature
and a defense of the double standard
theory of finance, was so diplomatically
given that no student within his hear
ing could take offense at it.

iron in good round orders, of which
4.000 tons was bought by parties in
England and will be exported via Bruns

as satisfactory as could have been got

iron a't this time. Alany inquiries from
foreign buyers of pig iron are being re
ceived in the Birmingham district aud
the prospects for a continuous exporting
trade are bright.
