THE ROME TKIBVNE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 1897.
BRILLIANT OPENING
The Big Store of Bass Bros,, Crowded
With People Yesterday.
A WILDERNESS OF BEAUTIFUL GOODS
Every Flcot of the Great Building Thronged
With Ladies and Many Gen. lemon
Were There, Too,
*
Decidedly one of the most brilliant
and attractive openings Rome, has ever
witnessed was at Bass Bros., yesterday.
To begin with the lower floor was in
gala attire. We write it mildly when
we say that the dress goods stock is
truly a marvel of beauty. We think it
abundantly safe to say that so large a
stock of select dress fabrics were neve r
on exhibition in one store in Rome be
fore. One must see them to fairly ap
preciate them. Gems from the Orient
and Occident, garnished with pearls
braids and beads, entranced the eye of
every beholder. A gay and happy
throng, not only of the denisons qf
Rome, but of people of the surrounding
towns and counties received a warm
and hearty welcome at the portals of
this large enporium.
The clerks were never more affable,
courteous, and attentive than on thi g
occassion. Capt. J. L. Bass the senior
member of the firm never seemed hap
pier or handsomer. He had smile for al',
and took special delight in exhibiting
some real laces brought from his recent
trip to the old world. Among the most
beautiful were some pieces of Venetian
point, Irish point acd Valencinues.
Among the other novelties purchased
were some Parisian gloves, Brussels
handkerchiefs and silks in evening shades.
Ascending the elevator, on the second
floor one is met by Mr. Will Harbor,
who with a boutonnier in his lapel was
the soul of hospitality and good man
ners.
Above the stairs was a most bewilder
array of beauty, specially made to be
guile the feminine eye. Four arches
twined in green vines and flanked by a
trippie mirror comprised one end of the
room. Hundreds of yards of different
kinds of ribbons, combihed with palms
and roses and lace curtains lent their
charms to the scene.
The bats this season are unusually hand
some; the tendency being toward a flar- ,
ing or ceoquetish effect, velvet and
plumes predominating.
In the opposite end of the room was a
Japanese corner where Tetleys tea was
served to the soft strains of seductive
music. The tea table was presided over
by Mrs. A. C. Heggie and Miss Langston,
who were both graceful and gracious to
the guest who were served. The decora
tions were the most artistic and beautiful
ever seen in Rome and would do credit
to a place five timen the size.
Mrs. A. K. Morgan and Miss Baker, to
whose exquisite taste this effect is due,
are to be congratulated. The opening
w>ll continue two days longer, and a treat
is in store for all who attend.

The meeting of the stockholders of

The New Railroad.
Work is progressing on the foun
dation of the new passenger depot fa
cing on Second avenue and back of
Briant’s building. It will be finished
within one month.
The building is 46 feet wide, and
the upper wall 140 feet long, and
the one next to the river 147. This
angle was necessary because of the
street,
The foundation stone is lime rock
"from Chickamauga and is considered
unexcelled for that purpose. The
walls are nine and one half feet high
from the ground, and the floor of the
depot will be two feet higher still,pre
cluding all possibility of high waters
reaching it.
The body of the building will be of
brick with tin roof. It will be a
handsome and substantial building
when completed.
