A Queer Banjo.
Jim Ward, a bright faced country lad
from Texas Valley, was in the city yes
terday, and had with him about as odd
a looking banjo as was ever seen. It
was made by the boy. The drum was a
cheese box over which had been stretch
ed a piece of goat skin. The handle
and keys had been whittled from pine.
The strings were graded cotton twine
well waxed. He purchased regular
banjo strings yesterday, however, and
says he will make the instrument hum
at dances this winter.
COTTON OFF AGAIN.
Gained Seven Points Monday Only to Loose
Six Yesterday.
Cotton climbed up seven notches
Monday, but lost six yesterday, mak
ing a loss of one point for the first
two days of the week.
The movement of the staple Is tre
mendous, though the crop is said to
be three weeks behind last year’s. The
receipts for Monday were 80,000
against 65,000 for the same period last
year. They were 60,000 yesterday
against 45.000 last year.
The two wet days of the week have
kept the local wagon receipts down
here, but from now until the crop is
marketed Rome’s streets will be crowded
with farm wagons.
The rains have not materially damaged
the cotton yet ungathered in the fields
The showers have been gentle and with
out much wind accompanying them.
The most damage to cotton will result
from dust arising and staining it, and not
from being beaten out of the burr.
Street prices were steady at 5| lor mid

Tickets are on sale to Nashville today
by the Southern Railway, for $3 45, good

THE ROME TRIBUNE. THUKSUAY, OCTOBER 21, 1897.
COST WILL BE SI,OOO
Estlm.t s For Cost of Small Pox Too
Low as Printed Yesterday.
WILL COST COUNTY ABOUT *ssoo
This Is F .r Guarding and Feeding- Negroes
B yond East Rome—lost City Abjut
S6OO For Vaccination.
The figures in yesterday’s Tribune re
lative to the cost in the small pox case
here, did not cover all the expenses.
Guarding, feeding and caring for the
negro Bonnor and the others housed
with him beyond the limits of East Rome
and all the expenses incidental thereto
.were borne by the county.
This sum will be between S4OO and
SSOO. The county commissioners have
not yet finished auditing and paying the
bills.
The expense of S6OO mentioned in
yesterday’s Tribune was the amount vac
cination cost the city of Rome. This in
cludes the virus points, hire of five phy
sicians. and all matters pertaining to the
thorough carrying out of vaccination.
These bills have not all been audited
and paid yet but the estimates will not
fall far short of S6OO.
So that the total expense when paid in
full will not fall very far short of SI,OOO.
