THE COTTON MARKET.
Foreign Quotations Showed a Slight Rise
Yesterday—Local Receipt* Still Light.
Cotton came in pretty lively yester
day, but.the receipts are still light as
compared with last year.
The foreign reports helped the
the markets some, and Septembers
advanced seven points. ' Street prices
still range from 51-2 to 6 cents. Notes
will begin falling due in a short while
and farmers will be forced to sell
to meet them. There is a slight
hope that prices are toning up, and
there may be an advance in the mar

A SPLENDID SHOW
Cojptr & Co.’s Circus Pleased a Large
(rowd Last Night.
TENT LITERALLY PACKED WITH PEOPLE
Show is Clean and Moral and Really of a Very
High Class—Two Performances
Given Daily.
.<
Cooper cs <jo.’3 great .a.lrop.d show ar
rived in the city yesterday morning, and
in a short while their tent was up on the
Hunt lot on Second avenue.
Last night they gave a performance lo
a tent literally packed with delighted
people. This show is even better than
expected, and instead of their advertis
ing more than they have, they have more
than they advertise.
This is a conditional most unparelled in
the show business, because it is a well
known fact that circus ads are usually
about as badly exaggerated as any thing
could well be.
But. Cooper & Co., give a clean, moral
instructive performance. The educated
dogs and ponies are alone well worth the
price of admission. It seems almost in.
credible to see the feats these intelligent
animals do. What a world of patience
it must have taken to train them to such
uerfection.
Then the trapese'and acrobatic acts
are superb. Every member of the
company is an artist in his or her act,
and more daring or better feats have
never been se’en here even in high
priced shows.
They will give two performances
daily today end tomorrow, One at 2
o’clock in the afternoon and the other
beginning at 8 o’clock in the evening.
Everybody should take advantage
of the opportunity to see a first class
show for such admission
price.
Children under 12 years 10 cents,
adults 20. Remember the two perfor
mances daily. The tent is on the cor
ner of Second avenue and East Second
street.
See them today without fail.
POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE.
Some Who vio, Some Who Come and Some
Who Stay at Home.
Mr. J. T. Burgess the popular engi
neer on the Rome Express, is quite ill.
Mr. B. T. Wyley, representing the
Atlanta and West Point railroad was
in the city last night.
Mr. Chas. H. Armitage, represent
ing Al G. Fields “Big White Min
strels,’’ was in the city yesterday.
Field will be here in about two weeks.
Mr, Harry Young, a prominent in
surance man of Atlanta, with many
friends here, is at the Armstrong.
Mr. M. R. Emmons, of Atlanta, is in
the city. Mr. Emmons is a former citi
zen of Rome, and his friends here
will be pleased to know that he is do
ing splendidly in the Gate City. .He
says that there is no excitement what
ever there about the yellow fever, and
that you can rarely hear any one men
tion it.
DRUMMERS BLOCKED.
Several Traveling Men Here Who Canrot Go
Out On Account of Fever.
Rnme sends out more shoe drum
mers than any city of its size in the
south. There are about a dozen who
represent eastern houses, and make
their headquarters in Rome. Their
tamilies live here also.
But since the yellow fever scare,
and the rigid quarantine in conse
quence all over the country, they are
completely checkmated. Most of
them have territory in Georgia, Ala
bama. Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
and the Carolinas.
Among those who are here now are
unable to get out are Messrs Mathis,
Adamson, Burney, Ellison and several
others
The fact is that the yellow fever
epidemic has completely stopped the
traveling men over a large area of the
south.
MILLINERY OPENING.
Fall Display of Millinery and Drees Goods at
Lanham & Soap,
Beginning this morning and con
tinuing through tomorrow Messrs.
