After....
Taking
a course of Ayer’s Pills the
system is set in good working
order and a man begins to feel
that life is worth living. He
who has become the gradual
prey of constipation, does not
realize the friction under which
he labors, until tne burden is
lifted from him. Then his
mountains, sink into mole
hills, his moroseness gives
place to jollity, he is a happy
man again. If life does not
seem worth living to you, you
may take a very different view
of it after taking
Aver’s Cathartic Pills.
TO GIVE A PRIZE.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Offers 825 to
Raiser of the Larges Watermelon.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
through its commercial agent, W. N.

lowing conditions:

grower who has an unusually large water
melon can take it to the depot from whieh
he makes his shipments, the agent at the
depot will weigh and certify the weight,
te’egraphing it to his general freight
agent, when the latter will telegraph to
Mr. Mitchell the weight of the largest
watermelon grown on his line. A check
will be sent at once in payment for the
largest watermelon grown in the South,
with request io the agent to express the
same to him at his expense, at the same
time sending the name and postoffice
address of the grower, and the location
of his farm, which will be published.
No Distress Now.
“After a long sickness I was left
very weak and my stomach was in
such a condition that I could not re
tain food. I decided to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and I found it gave re
lief. • I was soon so much better that
I could eat and drink anything I
was soon so much better that I could
eat and drink anything I wished, and
I gained rapidly in flesh.’’ Mrs. J. B.
Stockes, North Decatur, Ga.
Hood’s Pills are the favorite family
cathartic. Easy to take, easy in
effect.
SAV, KEEP COOL.
The Rome Lighting Company Will Furnish
You With an Ele.tric Fan.
A question more grave and serious
with Romans just now than the annexa
tion of Hawaii or the war m Cuba is
how to keep cool.
The Rome Lighting Company offer the
best solution of the problem. One of
those electric fans, that whirls and sings
in a soothing monotone, will keep the
heat away, and make any ordinary toom
deliciously cool.

AWFUL HUMIDITY
lli ’ momt-ter Yesterday Not as HUh as •
lu day, But HeH Ftp. More.
TEE MURCUaY WENT UP 97 DEGREES
.he Fen: Bee tnes {Opp'ei Hive Very Early
In Ll*e Morx.iog—Vans Valley Has Had
no K'lin in Three Months.
While the thermometer yesterday went
cn’y to 97—one degree less than Sunday
the beat was felt more severely be
cause of the humidity in the atmosphere.
Even before the sun rose yesterday the
awful day of heat had begun. As early
as 7 o’clock the mercury stood at 86, and
people could not sleep. As the sun
peeped over the hills and began to mount
the heavens, the mercury proceeded to
do some artistic mounting itself. It
inched up the glass tubing until perspir
ing humanity wondered when and where’
it would stop.
A breeze blew, a hot scorching wine}
that had uo solace or comfort in it. It
felt like a blast from the throat of a great
furnace, and intensified fearfully the dis
tress of Romans. The ice wagons are kept
on the run to furnish the demands made
upon them, while the musical fizz of the
soda fountains were heard constantly.
The distressing part cf this heated
period is the fact that darkness brings
but little relief. Many people sleep
in hammocks on porches and lawns,
in order to get respite from insomnia.
These hot winds are very bad on
the crops, especially while rain is
needed so badly. They shrivel and
blister the corn and cotton as though
a flame had been applied to it.
There is no relief in sight et. The
weather man says that the heat will
prevail indefinitely. Double your ice
orders for today, and open small cold
bottles is the only hope.
Mr. W. S. Gibbons, the hustling
Vans Valley farmer and market gard
ener, was in 'the city yesterday. He
was very blue over the outlook at his
place. He said:
“We have not had enough rain to
lay the dust on my place or in the
valley since the sth day of April,
nearly three months. My crops and
gardens are almost complete failures.
This time last year I had two wagons
coming to Rome every day and my
daily sales averaged over S3O. I sold
that year SL3OO worth of strawberries
in Rome. This year I sold exactly
quarts. Now I have one wagon mak
ing a daily trip here, and if it wasn’t
for the butter and milk I couldn’t do
that much. The prospects are very
gloomy.”
Monday night considerable rain fell
here. Ip Barker’s district a vefv heavy
rain fell, and for a couple of days the
ground was too wet to plow. The
weather has been threatening for sev
eral afternoons, but no rain since
Monday has fallen here.

WILL THEY EXTEND?
Carrollton Paper Says C. R. & C., Line
Will Be Extended to Columbur.
STORY .COULD NOT BE VERIFIED HERE
The Report Bays That The New Owners Are
Quietly Makins a turvey With the
View of Extension.
The following article is reprinted
from the Carroll Times of
Tuesday, which came in the mails last
night. The Tribune was unable to
gain a verification of the story at this
place, but it is printed for what it is
worth:
“For several days it has been talked
around on thestreets’that there was a
corps of surveyors at work surveying
a route from here to Columbus, for
the purpose of extending the Chatta
nooga, Rome and Columbus railroad
from this point on to Columbus.
“It is said that the right of way has
been secured a part of the way, and
that the ’men are at work beyond
Roopville, selecting the route.
“The parties interested, worked last
week between here and Roopville.
There are several rumors out in regard
to the survey.
“The one that seems to have some
foundation is that the reorganization
committee of the C. R. & C., railroad
seeing the necessity of extending the
road have gone queitly to work to get
the right-of-way before letting the pub
lic into their plans.
“If this is the object it will be a good
move for the road and will make it a
financial success, and also give Carroll
ton another outlet, but will cut into
some of our best trading territory.’’
