II THE j TRIBUNE’S TRADE EDITION
Will Win Bs iMued'.B irly In November
and Ecllpre All Pr*viou« Effort*
In This Line.
Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions since the present
management has been in charge and
■we are happy to say that each and
every.one has been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor wiih
■which they have been received.
Early in November we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going on all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the people.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of progress and the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavored to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It will be to the interest of every
business or professional man in North
Georgia and North and East Alabama,
to secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will he
benefitted by represdntion in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are already 1
out and will make a thorough canvass
of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable enterprise in
the interest of our city and section.
WRITTEN AT RANDOM.
When the war cloud broke upon the
country the position of the national
capital was precarious in the extreme.
The same stream that washed its
wharves touched the opposite shore
of an enemy’s country, and in the
State that surrounded it on the north
the sentiment of the people could
scarcely be called sympathetic with
the Government at Washington.
So it was not surprising that the au
thorities at the home of the nation
set about to protect it from invasion
and violation. In a surprisingly short
time a strong cordon of forts and bat
teries well equipped with ordinance
and garrisoned by eager and willing
men extended in a defiant circle
around the city.
It would take volumes to describe
Beware
■ Oi the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Ng&pn, of Marshfield, Mo .
writes: “For fkSLyears I have been a
sufferer from a'Wrrofulous affection of
.“'the glands of my neck, and all efforts
* of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be
gan its use. Bei I had used one bot
tle the enlarge!’ began to disappear,
and now it is e> iy gone, though lam
not through wit my second bottle yet
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago.
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over £150.”
This experience is like that of all wbc
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
-The doctors can do no good, and even
/their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root oi
the disease and forces it out perma
pently.
S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable')

is a blood remedy for real blood troubles,

itc., which other so-called blood reme
fiies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the

the difficulties that were overcome to
establish this belt of protection, but'
these were largely of a material char
acter, and were met in a great degree
by the natural advantages of the sur
rounding country, which offered so
many excellent points for fortification
and embattlement.
On either side of the river, both in
Virginia and Maryland, the hills pre
sented a continuation of heights
which commanded the territory lying
beyond, and these were quickly taken
advantage of by the engineer depart
ment of the United States army.
Strong embankments were thrown
up, powerful guns were placed in po
sition, and in order to give the widest
range for execution forests were lev
eled and in some instances housesand
barns removed, so that the enemy
would have no chance to come upon
the city unawares.
As the forts were erected and pro
vided with their armament they weie
as quickly garrisoned by the troops
that poured into Washington from
the North, and many of the bravest
and best of the soldiers who fought
for the perpetuity of the Government
saw their first service in the forts
around Washington.
.
By the Ist of of January, 1862, the
entire defensive line, mounting about
500 guns, was in an advanced condi
tion, although not completed. It was
not, indeed, until the summer of 1864
that they were in anything like a fin
ished shape.
When completed the works comprising
sixty two forts with forty-four surport
ing batteries, the whole having an ar
manent of over 1000 guns and requiring
16,000 men to properly arm them. The
first suggestion to erect fortifications
was made early in May, 1961, by Gen.
Mansfield, who was then in command
of the troops in this city, and he indica
ted Arlington Heights as the hest place
to begin.
By the 24th of that month Forts Ells
worth, Runyon, Albany and Cororan
were established for the special pur-*
pose of the protection to the approaches
of the bridges and feriies on the Poto
mac. It was not until the first battle of
Bull Run had been fought, however,
that a systematic plan of defense was
thought of.
After the battle of Bull Run the
cluster of commanding heights four
miles west of Alexandria and six miles
from Washington were occupied by the
Confederates, but in October of that
year the hills were taken possession of
and fortified by the Union troods.
The system of works constituting what
are called the defenses of Washington
were divided into fdur groups: JFirst,
those south of the Potomac, commenc
ing with Fort Willard, below Alexan
dria, and terminating with Fort Smith
opposite Georgetown, comprising twen
ty-nine forts apd eleven surporting bat
teries; second, Forts Ethan Allen and
Marcy at the Virginia end of the Chain
bridge, with their five batteries for
field guns; third, those north of the Po
tomac aud between that river and the
Anacostia, commencing with Fort Sum
ter and terminating with Fort Lincoln,
comprising nineteen forts, four batteries
armed with heavy guns and twenty
three batteries of field guns; fourth,
those south of the Anacostia, commenc
ing with Fort Mahon at Benning and
terminating with Fort Greble at Oxon
run, nearly opposite Alexandria, com
prising twelve forts and one armed bat
tery.
Most of the heavy labor on the forti
fications was done by hired, laborers,
but a good part was the work of the
soldiers. Indeed, it became the aim and
duty of the soldiers who were quartered
in the forts to make them as strong aud
perfect as possible.
The cost of work, exclusive of ar
manent, amounted to considerably more
than half a million dollars. When they
were first being erected there was a con
glomeration of names, and the fortifica
tions were named indiscriminately alter
States, cities and individuals, but in
1861 the War Departinenn issued an
order giving to the forts the names of
distinguished soldiers who had lost their
lives in defense of the flag.
Os the forts sonth of the Potomaj, be
tween the Long bridge and Arlington,
which comprised Runyon, Jackson,
Scott, Richardson, Barry, Craig, Me
Pherson and Hagerty and Albany, the
arament of all. It consisted of eighteen
guns—thirteen twenty - four - pounder
barbettes, two six-pounder field pieces
and three twenty-four-pounder howL*
zers. These were maned by 183 gunners.

Miss Laura Millson, a niece of Wil

Salem, Ills., has successfully defied a
stern parent and has wedded the man
of her choice. She had to run away to

do it, but the elopement has turned out
all right, and the prospects are that she
has made a happy choice.
Miss Millson is now Mrs. John Louis
Martin. Up to a short time ago she was
living quietly in Salem with her mother,
who is Mr. Bryan’s eldest sister. She is
17 years old, and Mr. Martin is 19, but
they have been friends since earliest
childhood, and for a number of years
there had been an understanding be
tween them that they were to be mar
ried some time. Last spring they con
cluded that they would wait no longer,
but when the young lady informed her
mother there was a domestic storm of
some violence. Mrs. Millson declared
that both the lovers were too young to
think seriously of matrimony, and she
told her daughter that if she
she would disown her.
This break in the course of tbeir true
love did not discourage the young peo
ple at all. In fact, it made them all the
more determined. They decided to get
married at the first opportunity, but
Miss Laura did not like the idea of run
ning away, so she decided to wait and
see if an occasion would not present it
self. Her mother mistrusted that some
plot was being hatched by the young
people and arranged to take her daugh
ter to visit friends in Louisville. On
the day of their departure, however, the
old lady was taken ill, but she decided
to send her daughter on alone.
Miss Millson notified her betrothed
to meet her at the train, and he was on
hand. Instead of bidding her goodby,
however, he went along with her as far
as Jeffersonville, .Ind., which is the
Gretna Green of that state. There they
were married, and the young bride
groom returned to Salem, while his
bride went on to Greensburg, where her
aunt lives. Mrs. Millson has relented,
and the yonng couple will soon be liv
ing happily together.

| INDUSTRIES AND INSTITUTIONS. I
If Rome would become more prosperous its home institutions must be patronized
by Rome people. Its wonderful resources and advantages for manufacturing will avail
nothing unless our factories and wholesale merchants are encouraged and sustained by
that local pride and patronage, which are the secret of the growth and prosperity of
many less favored cities.
The Tribune is earnestly enlisted in the work of keeping Rome money in circula
tion at home. With this purpose the following list of Rome merchants, industries and
institutions has been compiled. We recommend every institution and article mentioned
in this column as worthy of the support and patronage of all citizens :
