Sarsaparilla
Sense.
Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa
rilla. True. So any tea is tea.
So any flour is flour. But grades
differ. Yau want tJie best. It's
so with sarsaparillx There are
grades. You want the best. If
you understood sarsaparilla as
well as you do tea and flour it
would be easy to determine.
But you don’t. How should
you? When you are going to
buy a commodity whose value
you don’t know, you pick out
an old established house to
trade with, and trust their ex
perience and reputation. Do so
when buying sarsaparilla.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been
on the market 50 years. Your
grandfather used Ayer’s. It is
& reputable medicine. There
are many Sarsaparillas—
but only one Ayer* a. It
cures.

Editor Tribune:—Kindly lend me
space in your valuable paper to cor
rect an enormous impression which
seems to have given a few prominent
citizens and influentiaKproperty hold
ers a slight touch of delerium.
In Thursday afternoon’s issue of
Atlanta Journal appeared a special
from this city under the big caption,
‘•Rome Invaded by Bahfflts,” and sev
eral other lines followed in the head,
ing. The article described graphic
ally the situation here, having the
robbery of Mr. Miller as a preface and
the said piece told of the police force
here being doubly increased on ac
count of the lawlessness.
The Hustler of Friday took occasion
to brand The Journal’s accounts as
•‘an infamous lie, built out of whole
cloth.’’
I presume nearly every one knows
I represent The Journal in this city,
and consequently I avail myself of
your courtesy to allay all imputations
to the effect that 1 am the author of
the piece which has disturbed the
placid equilibrum of those for whom
I entertain a very high regard. I did
not wire The Journal Rome’s police
forje had been doubled, but I did say
it was the opinion of many that a
gantr of highwaymen are practicing
their nafaricus vocations around this
citv.
Just how the mistake occurred I do
nor. know. I presume the state news
editor interpreted or read the mess
age incorrectly in the haste and rush
of other matter. It is not infrequent
for operators in transmitting tele
grams to hurriedly overlooked or fail
to read the word intended, and in this
way commit an error totally foreign
to the meaning of the writer. lam
sincerely of the opinion Tne Journal
did not and would not intentionally
place this community in an
attitude unenviable to the world at
large. <>n the contrary The Journal has
again and again published articles highly
tub gistic of Rome and Floyd county.
My “special” to the paper was sent in
perfect bonum fidilis. I had no desire to
reflect upon either the police force, the
mayor, the city and lastly, “The Hustler
of Rome.” I hope the citizens will not
consider • me sycophantic, fustian nor
apish when I say this city has one of ths
most efficient, consciencions and urbane
police departments of any city in the
south. The law lias been and would be
violated if a regiment of patrolmen walk
ed every street, in Rome night.and day. If
any one desires to see the message I se t
they can call at the Masonic Temple and
I will gladly show them the copy.
This is the city of my birth and
every hillside, and crevice and vacant
green is fragrant with memories—
••that joy used to wear” I would not
defame the home of my birth—sweet
scented with flowers —no, not for the
earth.
Mr. Editor, I am exceedingly sorry
the sensitive soul of the Hustler has
been proded. This guardian of
Rome’s welfare is so jealous of its
ward’s reputation it must needs impute
by innuendo the concoction of a false
hood Io one who is innocent or else
this mighty —daily has not done its
duty. There are some in Rome who
a re considerably imbued with the idea
they own one hundred per cent, of
this city, yea, Georgia. New Yortc,
both houses of congress, the president,
the supreme court, and from the coast
of Maine to the “Golden Horn.”
Thanking you for your kindness, I
am Very cordially,
F. G. Govan.

PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND.
The Best Remedy In the
It Makes People Well,
There is one true specific for diseases
arising from impure blood and a debili
tated nervous system, and that is Paine’s
celery compound, so generally prescribed
by physicians. It is probably the most
remarkable remedy that the scien
tific research of this country has
produced. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M.
D. LL. D., of Dartmouth college, first
prescribed what is now known the world
oyer as Paine’s celery compound, a pos
itive cure for dyspepsia, billiousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism,
all nervous (diseases and kidney trou
bles. For the latter Paine’s eelery
compound has succeeded again and
again where everything else has failed.

Fdrm«r« Leaving the Northwest Owing to
Cold Climate and Cheap Corn.
Corn bringing only 10 cents per
bushel out in the Northwest is driving
farmers from that section to the
South.
The extreme cold weather is help
ing along the movement very mate
rially. Both combined is doing the
work admirably.
It is no common sight now to see
wagon loads of people passing through
Rome going further southward who
hail from the great Northwest.
Yesterday an outfit passed through
here en route from 'Mason, -111., to
Wildwood, Fla. The man in charge
says that there is a great exodus going
on from all over the Northwest, and
that they are leaving by the hundreds
in wagons and private conveyances
and bv thousands over the railways.
Coru at 10 cents per bushel and coal
and wood both high, they can make
nothing farming out there, so they
are coming South in big lots. The
heads of reasonably well to do people
have or are coming on the trains to
pick up a location then they will re
turn and bring on their families.

The eclu» Globe.
Written for The Tribune.
The last exposition in Paris had its
wonderful Eiffel Tower, the next in
1900 will have a more curious as well
as a more serious attraction: this will
be a gigantic sphere constructed under
the direction and after the plans cf
Eiysee Beclus, that brilliant geogra
pher. that genius who knows all the
roads of the world save Alar!—the
religious one.
This colossal globe will have a cir
cumference of one hundred metres
and as a consequence a diameter of
thirty-three metres, spice large
enough to contain a six story Parisian
house.
Notwithstanding these rather large
proportions, the dimensions of the
globe will be only the four hundred
thousandth of those of the earth; on
this scale the Mont Cenis, that giant
of the Alpine mountain, will be re
presented by a projection of half a
centimetre and Mont Blanc by one of
a centimetre and a half.
This sphere will be not only pleasant
to look at, hut useful. While the ex
terior of the globe will teach a great
i lesson in geography, there will be.
' within it, a concentric sphere around
I which will pass a road one thousand
metres in length; on either side of this
the different countries of the world
will be represented. It will take
eighty minutes to go around the world
and tlie traveller, in passing from one
place to another, will feel changes of
climate corresponding to those of
latitude.
The emoty place left in the center
of the sphere will be set apart as a
‘•‘Midway plaisance,” and so the part,
of the earth formerly assigned to
Pluto will lie transformed into a, charm
ing “ Eiysee”—something certainly n'ot
foreseen by the geographer of that
name. Prof. J. Lustrat.

THE SPECTATOR.
A Washington firm worked a good
ad off on a number of leading papers
throughout the unibu by getting a
sensational telegram in the New York ■
Journal to the effect that, they refused
Mrs. Cleveland credit for a few trifling
articles.
It was designed by the shrewd firm
to impress everybody that they sold
goods so cheap they could not afford
to give credit to even the president’s
wife, and then, too, no one else would
ask it. The Washington papers were
suckers enough to get picked up on
this “lumber story’’—all the same the
enterprising firm got a big ad free.
One of the prettiest sights I have
seen in Rome was the Shorter girls in
the right hand balcony of the First
Presbyterian church Wednesday
night to witness the Harrison-Seay
nuptials. They were attracted there,
no doubt, by the fact they are candi
dates for the same goal. Anyhow
they set the affair off with their lovely
presence.
Another feature of the marriage
was the exquisite music by the choir.
It is seldom that a city the size of
Rome has such a brilliant array of su
perior voices that accord with such
perfect harmony as did the choir
Wednesday night. My thorax will
never be my fortune, but I know a
good voice when I hear one, and while
I will never excite the admiration of
a breathless public expanding my
clavacle I know harmony from dis
c >rd.
I clip the following interesting item
from a valued weekly exchange:
“There was a gentleman in our
neighborhood inquiring very particu
larly about Mrs. M. E. Hardy, and
wishing for her return: Guess who;
don’t grieve Uncle Nathan. Mr. John
son Peoples went to Whiteville a few
days ago and sold a bale of cotton;
he went to church- Sunday with his
best gir], and from the way he rattled
his money one would take him to be a
millionair.”
I said. “Your hat Is not on straight:
It’s tilted o’er your brow ”
She anwerul me with air sedate,
••We wear them that way now.’’
Bacon’s saying that, “Reading
maketh a full man, offers no induce
ment to the bibulously inclined.
Even Milton had a mite of humor
when he said of Adam and Eve’s first
meal: “They proceeded to transub
stantiate, ”
The preacher said “I would rather

than be the king of England.” Yet
no one knows its author. It first ap
peared in the earliest edition of the
New England Primer in 1777.

The crusty editor said: ‘ The girl
who manufactures biscuit without a
trace of indigestion in their depths is
more to be treasured than the girl
who writes poetry.”
A cute observer once remarked.
“The more knowledge, the more para
dox.” How is it we sea objects erect,
notwithstanding the well known fact
that pictures and images on the retina
of the eye are inverted? Kepler un
dertook its solution, later physiolo
gists have exercised their ingenuity
over the same problem, ft’s a para
dox that will remain, doubtless, a
long time.
