BEST SOODS, LOW PRICES
Have Done the Work.
We have had the best trade since
Nov., Ist, that we have had since
1891, and as others are complaining
of ha d limes, it must be that our
low prices and high quality of goods
have done the work for us. You
have heard of slaughtering, but it
remains for us to give the full defi
nition of Hie word in prices on can
dies of every description We are
now preparing our list of prices on
these goods and will soon make
them known through this paver.
We have more candy than we want
and we are going to do as we have
always done. We have candies from
the cheap grades to that at seventy
five cts. the pound,but in this candy
sale we ere going to forget profits
and-ignore cost.
We have the first Deviled Sar
dines brought to this market. Some
thing new put up by Underwood,
who packs the finest Deviled Meats
sold in the United States. They are
fine and a trial box will convince
you that fact.
Fresh layer figs, today’s arrival,
15 cents the pound.
Dates, fresh and fine, 10 cents the
pound.
Oranges, “thin skin.” sweet and
fine, 30 cents the dozen.
Our stock of nuts is complete, and
they are the latest importations, all
new and of the best quality. No
walnut equals the Grenoble in fla
vor or size, which is the kind we
have to offer. Shelled Almonds 35
cents the pound, or 3 pounds for sl.
Fire works are cheaper this sea
son than they have ever been, and
our retail prices are below the whole
sale prices made by some of the so
called jobbers of Rome.
We have a small lot of sa isage,
homemade, and to eat it would make
you think of the kind your mother
made when you were in your teens
A few dais later we will receive a
lot of Kennedy’s celebrated fruit
cakes, the same kind we sold you
last season. They will come one,
two and five pound loaves, packed
in beautifully decorated tins and
will go at twenty five cents the
pound, which is less than you can
buy the fruit and make them.
Justly proud we are of our coffee
trade. It stands second to none in
Rome. We have it roasted by men
who are expert roasters and it comes
hot from the fires once a week, and
is sold from three to five cents the
pound less than our compet tors are
charging for it. If you doubt that
statement exami. e your passbook
and come to our store and see what
we are doing. This week we offer a
splendid mark of roasted coffee, not
ground, at fifteen cents the pound
Yours truly,
Hand & Company,

FRESH FROM . CUBA
Doctor In Cuban Sanitary Corps Writes
a Letter to Ff ends In Atlanta.
THE SPANIARDS LOSING GROUND
Cubans In Cuba Thii.k ‘.I ntted H s
Been Silent Long Enough— Won’t L-_i
Mnke Home Bule.
The letter from Cuba to an Atlanta
physician announces the taking of the
inland city, Guaimaro, by the Cubans,
which is defended by twelve forts. This
defeat was accomplished by the Cuban
general, Calixto Gargia, and the civil
engineer, Mario Menocal, brother of the
chi°f engineer of the Nicaragua canal.
••In the western part of the island,”
writes Dr. Clark, ‘ ‘Maceo is holding the
butcher, Weyler, at bay. In the prov
inces of Havana and Mantanzas the Cu
bans have not receded a foot and are
wearing out the tyrants. From these
parts they ask us for arms and ammu
nition. The Spaniards send large col
umns against them, but they are eitner
defeated or dexteriously evaded by the
Cubaae.
“Camaguay—the central part of the
island—is already ‘Cuba libre,’ for the
Spaniards have already retired all their
forces to the coast, being unable to face
the Cubans or hold them in check. We
have a well-armed body of nearly 200,-
000 men in the field against us, but,
nevertheless, we hold our own. We are
fighting on such an unequal footing,
without arms, ammunition or medicine
and bandages with which to care for
our sick and wounded.”
What is said in the letter in regard to
Cuba receiving aid from the United
States government shows what is the
general opinion among the Cubans in
to the matter.
“Will the American government (we
know the people sympathize with our
cause) never extend her hand to help us
as they were helped by Lafayette, Sten
ben and others?” says Dr. Clark ia
writing about help from America. “Or
are they waiting to see Washington,
Hidalago or Bolivar rise from their
graves and protest iu the name of digni
ty and shame against the way are being
abandoned?
“As I said before, the eastern part of
the island, Santiago de Cuba, Camaguay
and Santa Clara- three fine provinces—
are already 'Cuba libre, ’ for the Span
iards have withdrawn their forces from
the interior and only bold the cities on
the coast. 1 see plainly that this aban
donment of territory is ‘the begining of
the end ’ Who knows? Who can foretell
what will happen tomorrow?
“This is the state of the war in Cuba
at present; if you add to this Maximo
Comez attacking the enemy in every
direction and routieg them continually;
Galixto Garcia caputuring Guaimaro,
then Cascorro and afterwards attacking
the railroad from Puerto Principe to
Nuevitas and perhaps tomorrow attack
ing these cities, you may form some
idea of how the Cubans are fighting for
their homes their firesides, God and
their native land!
“ We have a fine, well-dicirlined med
ical corps, whose superior chief, hold
ing rank of brigadier, is Eugenio San
ches [Agramonte, a highly educated
young man who is natually talented
and fully capableof carrying the work
he has in hand.
“Our body is as thoroughly and weU
organized as any part of our army and
better than that of the Spaniards. I
come constantly in contact with San—
chez Agramonte, being his chief secre
tary and as such have to go from one
end of the island to the other. At pres
ent lam near 'Santiago de Cuba, but
shall shortly leave for the west, and not
stop until I reach the headquarters of
General Maceo.
“We are solely in need of medicines
Send me, immediately, a quantity of
bichloride of mercury, iodoform and
adhesive plasters. Send me, also, any
amount of bandages, and above all,
send all the quinine you can. This med
icine is so rare that we have had to give
our fever patients concoctions of aque
dita”—the Cuban plant that supplies
the place of quinine.
More Cnrntive Power
Is contained in a bottle of Hood’s Sarsapar
illa than in any other similar preparation.
It costs the proprietor and manufacturer
more. It costs the jobber more and it is
worth more to the consumer. It has a
record of cures uukonwn to any other
preparation. It is the best to buy because
it is the One True Blood Puffier.
Hood’s Pills are the best family
cathartic and liver medicine. General,re
liable, sure.

Which carried the story far and wide.

is the original sarsaparilla. It

sarsaparilla honored by a
medal at the World's Fair of
1893. Others imitate the
remedy; they can’t imitate the

THE SPECTATOR.
It is with pleasure I note that Mr.
Cleveland followed my advice about the
Cuban question. If the average presi
dent will take the newspaper man’s advice
he will wear crowns of glory and clothe
his wife in sealskins and diamonds.
Capt. John J. Seay took in a swell oc
casion recently panoplied in all the latest
paraphernalia of the society man and the
next day pasted the following over his
desk:
Weddingsand routs—

“The shortest railway line between
Chicago and New York” is the legend
which ornaments a lithographed let
terhead sent out from Chagrin Falls,
Ohio. And old fellow in that place
who owns a stone quarry has built a
railroad for freight purposes. It is
only three miles long, but neverthe
less it is long enough to claim stand
ing as an active road. The line is in
corporated, with the old man as presi"
dent and bis sons as directors.
A Chicago general passenger agent
the other day received a letter from
the publisher of a little paper down
in Arkansas which seemed to have
the merit of frankness, at least. The
Arkansas editor said:
“Dear Sir:—l wish you would send
me a pass from Little Rock to Chicago
and return. I’ve got to go to Chicago
and I can’t do it unless you do. My
paper goes almost everywhere in this
section and I’m having mighty bard
work to keep it from going to h—l.”
“How seldom do these carettes
run?” asked a satirical woman with
cold feet and a hot temper the other
day, after waiting a half hour for one
of the lumbering vehicles to com e
along.
“About once every three times,” he
imperturably answered. And she was
so angry then she decided to walk.
“He was about the meanest man I
ever knew,” said the woman in black.
“He left me as much as he could
while he lived and as little as he
could when he died.”
Dr. Harrey, a Scotch physician, is
said to make a practice of leaving
with such patients as are likely to re
quire his prompt attendance one or
more carrier pigeons to be dispatched
with messages. He also takes the
winged messengers with him on his
rounds and sends them back to his
office with prescriptions to be filed.
It is not stated whether or not they
carryback the medicine to the suf
serer. „ „

the greatest misfortune is not to be
