HOME BOT ABROID,
**Mr. Hoiu ou Harper at the Head of a Big
K < wp iper.
The relatives and many friends here
in Rome of Mr. Houston Harper will
be pleased to read the folio wine from
the Asheville (N. 0.) Skyland News,
of Oct, 31:
“Among the recent additions to the
citizenship of Asheville is Mr. Hous
toun Richardson Harper, late of Chat
tanooga, Tenn., who has accepted the
position of assistant news editor of
the Asheville Daily Gazette. He is a
thoroughly experienced newspaper
man, haying worked on various
‘ Georgia papers, The Chattanooga
Times, and was for six years past city
and managing editor of the Chatta
nooga Daily News. He will assist
Editor James Norton in making the
Gazette the leading paper of North
Carolina Mergentbaler typesetting
machines have been ordered, and,
with a complete telegraphic and
local news service, and other improve
ments, the paper’s equipment will be
the beet in the state. Mr. Harper is a
native of Rome, Ga , and is descended
from one of the south’s most distin
guished and aristocratic families
Sir Patrick Houston, his great-great
grandfather on the maternal side,
ASK the recovered

LA TOR.
The Cheapest. Purest and Beat Family
Medicine in the World I
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION. Tana
dice, Biliousattacks, SICK HEADACHE,CoIic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but la
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange*
■tent of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
• Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-
Satism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
owels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
MLoss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \V. R. R. Co.; Rev.
J. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks. Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq.. Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
, know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
' Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine thy
world ever saw. We tried forty othef remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
as more than temporary relief; out the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us. "—Elk

’ came over with Oglethorpe as his sec
retary when he settled theGe>rgia
colony, and was president of his maj
esty’s (King George’s) council for sev
eral years. The family| tree of the
Houstouns goes back to the year 1164.
when Malcolm IV, king of Scotland,
made a grant of land to a knight of
Normandy. Prim’s History mentions
the knighting (about 1236) of Sir Fin
lay de Hrfustoun. Two of the Hous
ton n brothers from Georgia were del
egates to the continental congress
which drew up the Declaration of In
dependence. Gen. Patrick Houstoun,
the present head of the family, lives
at Tallahassee, and is adjutant gen
eral of the state of Florida The Har
pers and Richardson’s moved from
Virginia to Georgia in the ’2os, and
are of Scotch-English descent.
After a thorough training in the
. best schools and under private tutors,
I Mr. Harper griduated from Mercer
University, Macon, Ga., wdth the full
A B. degree. He has traveled exten
' sive;y both in the United States and
in Europe. For four summer seasons
! past Mr. Harper has occupied the
! unique position of social director of
■ Lookout Inn, the palatial and magifi
cent hotel on Lookout mountain»at
Chattanooga, Tenn.
I Each summer he has visited the lead
ing southern cities and cheif resorts
j making new aqcuaintances and friends,
until now it can be asserted that be
I knows more southern society and busi-
I ness people than any young man of his
1 age. In September, 1894, at the dedica
| tion of .the Chickamauga-Chattanooga
National Military park, when Lookout
■ Inn was headquarters for Vice-President
I Stevenson and family, four members of
’ the cabinet, ten United States senators,
■ twenty-seven congressmen and fourteen
governors were all present, Mr. Harper
looked especially after the welfare of the
distinguished guests, and showed them
attention which won for him much
praise. On Sept. 19, 1894, at the ball of
the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows
at Lookout Inn, every state and territo
ry in the union was represented.
i Mr. Harper was presented with a hand
t some silk badge in token of appreciation
'of his attentions. The balls, germane
and other social entertainments given
at Lookout Inn under Mr. Harper’s di
rec'ion while assisting in the manage
ment of ti e “oa«tle above the clouds,”
I are celebrated from Richmond. Mr.
Harper has two laige scrap books of
clippings about the social triumphs at
Lookout Lin and the names of his ac
quaintances and friends all over the
United States, from which the editor of
the Skyland News gathers the above.
In Asheville Mr Harper expects to de
vote his best endeavors to the upbuild
ing of the city, and to bringing into even
greater prominence the far-famed ‘Land
of the Sky’.”
‘‘l didn’t notice them ut all. I <l, n’t
caro what they do.”
"No?”
•‘No. They r.ro beneath me.”
“Yes?”,;
‘‘Yes.- If their slut was nbotfc me, of
course it would bo different. ”
There was reason in all things, not
I even excluding an apartment house. —

THE ROME TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1 98.
Justice In the Rough.
‘‘We used to call him the cactus edi- I
tion of Blackstone, ” said the major,
who had lived in Texas long enough to
make a fortune, ‘‘and the blind eyed
goddess never had a more peculiar rep
resentative. The law never bothered
him a bit, but he reverenced equity.
He had a dignity all his own, but never
allowed it to interfere with his love of
a joke.
“ ‘Howold are you?’ asked one of the
lawyers of a venerable spinster on the
stand.
“ ‘I was born in ’45,’ she snapped.
“ ‘B. C. or A. D. ?’ quickly asked the
judge. And the mature maiden disowned
her brother because he would not chal
lenge the court.
“ ‘ls this your first offense?’ he asked
of a convicted horse thief.
‘‘On being assured that it was, the
judge said, ‘Then I will only give you,
99 years instead of 100, as I would huve
done had you been an old offender. ’
‘‘A miller had bought ten barrels of
apples from. a farmer and brought ac
tion to recover on a claim that the bar
rels were undersized, causing him a loss
of three bushels on the deal.
“ ‘How did you get the barrels?’ asked
the court of the farmer.
“ ‘Bought them full of flour from the
miller. ’
‘ ‘ Whereupon the court gave, the farmer
a verdict-and taxed the costs against the
miller.”—Detroit Free Press.
A Hygienic Restaurant.
A suggestion worthy of all praise is
put forth by a contemporary journal for
ladies. It is to the effect that somebody
should start a restaurant in which the
waiters should be instructed to refuse to
serve any sequence of dishes which ob
viously make for indigestion. One can
easily believe that the world would be
the better, the healthier, the happier, if
this proposal were widely carried out.
Men have been known, for instance, to
wash down oysters with brandy and
water, but they have always been sorry
for it afterward. Students at the British
museum have been observed to drink
tea with veal and ham pie, and their
studies have suffered from the combina
tion. The world, in short, is full of
middle aged men who would enjoy their
middle age ever so much better if in
their youth they had found their way to
restaurants where snob delicacies, as
veal and ham pie, dressed crub, lobster,
mayonnaise and cucumbers were only
to lie procured upon production of a
medical certificate of fitness to receive
them.—London Graphic.
Man’s Claim.
Among the rich mines of Leadville is
one called Dead Man’s Claim. It seems
a certain popular miner had died, and
his friends, having decided to give him
a good send off, hired a man for S2O to
act as sexton. It was in the midst of
winter, there was ten feet of snow on
the ground, and the grave had to go six
tii At s«i-
lied forth into the snow, ueposirrng tne
corpse for safe keeping in a drift, and
for three days nothing was heard front
him. A delegation sent to find the fel
low discovered him digging away with
all his might, but found also the in
tended grave converted into the entrance
of a shaft. Striking the earth, it seems
he had found pay rock worth S6O a ton.
The delegation at once staked out claims
adjoining bis, and the deceased was for
gotten. Later in the season, the snow
having melted, his body was found and
given an ordinary burial in aifbther part
of the camp.—Boston Journal.
A Test of Courtesy.
It happened not Jong ago that I had
occasion to request a friend to deliver
an urgent letter for me. The letter con
tained business of importance which
was private in its nature, as it concern
ed a debt. To hand my friend a sealed
letter was to presuppose that he would
read it if open. To give it to him un
sealed was to risk the possibility of a
third party reading it, for the exigen
cies of life are many, and letters are
known to have been dropped.
I pondered, perplexed, but decided
that courtesy was one of the first laws
of society and left the letter open.
With an easy bow my friend received
the note; then, seeing the open flap of
the envelope, instantly gummed it
down.
That, I said inwardly, is true cour
tesy.
A Fertile x’iL-
One of the most wonderful examples
of vegetable growth and fecundity is
illustrated by the Asiatic pemperion. A
single seed planted on the grounds of
the Berlin Botanical society propagated
a vine which grew to be as large as a
man’s body in nine weeks. It grew to a
total length of nearly 900 feet and rip
ened over 800,000 seeds.

TIME
TRIED
Time proves the worth of every
thing. It is the test of honesty. It
w r ears off tbe.exterior and exposes the
solidity or the worthlessness beneath.
There is nothing more susceptible
to time than a piano. The Kranich &
Bach is a piano which has stood the
test of time, which has stood well in
tone, which, keeps ite perfect action
and elastic touch is as good as any
we can offer you. Beware of judging
hastily. Most pianos sound alike
when they are new. I will be glad to
help any one to piano wisdom who
cares to learn.
