Cook, Moore, Reid, Hall, Freeman, Me
Donough and Maddox, to the amount of
$9 and passed up to the clerk’s desk.

the subscribers to take the money and
buy the Bible anyhow.

THE BOMB TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4. 18V7
THE CHRISTMAS BAZAAR.
It Has Proven a Great Attraction in Spite
of Bad Weather.
The elements continued to war against
the. success of the Christmas bazaar of St.
Petei’s church yesterday, but in spite of
adverse circumstances there was a good
attendance. K
This bazaar has been justly pronounc
ed one of the most attractive ever held
in Rome. Yesterday at dinner and last
night for supper there was quite a rush,
and everybody was delighted with the
dishes served.
There are many things to delight the
visitor. The fortune-telling, the tumb
ling brownies, the fish pond and all
have their just share of patronage.
Last night Prof. Fortin’s orchestra
rendered a most charming program.
The numbers were all excellent and won
great applause from the large crowd
present.
The program was as follows:
Overture “Zampa” Herald.
Coronation March Meyerbeer
Seranade Moszkowski.
Wedding March Mendelssohn.
Overture “Juber ’ Weber,
The bazaar will keep open today and
tonight. Be sure and call in and you
will not regret it.
Dinner will be served from 12 to 2 p.
m. Supper, 7 p. m. to 10 p. m.
The woman’s exchange will be held
here today instead of Hand & Co.’s.
All interested should govern them
selves accordingly.

CANDIDATES ARE MANY.
Three City Officers to Be Elected On Mon
day December 13th.
On Monday night December 13th
three city officials are to tee elected.
Superintendent of waterworks, col
lector of water rents, and a sexton for
Myrtle Hill cemetery.
The city council will elect the sexton
and the board of water commissioners

There are several candidates not
averse to securing the sexton’s berth.
Among the candidates are Peter Kam
merer, F. P. Chouse, James Mullen,
Mr. Pierce and others. T|ie place
pays S4O per month and is quite a re
sponsible one. The friends of Mr.
Norris Smith, had lots of fun yester
day guying him about the announce
ment in an afternoon paper that he
was a candidate for sexton.
For superintendent of waterworks
James McGuire .the present encum
bent is a candidate for re-election.
Mr. J. T. Warlick and Engineer Mc-
Lendon are also applicants. The
place pays $75 per month.
For collector Capt. J. T. Moore,
Norris Smith and E. E. Watkins are
aspirants. Capt. Moore is the collec
tor at present. The place pays S4O
per month, but it is said that there is
some probability of the board of
commissioners raising the salary.]

RAINFALL VERY HEAVY.
Has Been Two and Half Inches Here Past
Two Days.
The rainfall Thursday registered 2:10
inches here and yesterday’s fall will make
the total at least two and a half inches.
A telegram from Resaca stated that
there had been 1:63 inches at that place.
This insures a good rise in the river and
will put it way above low water mark,
with no danger, however, of its getting
out of the banks.
The river has been quite loW this fall,
and a good portion of the time the Seay
could not make trips. Everything is all
right now, however.

How It All Happened.
He was in doubt.
On this particular evening he made
up his mind that he would reach the
point where doubt ends or know the
reason why.
Thus it happened that he got a little
closer to her than usual when he found
that they were sitting side by side on
the sofa.
“Do you ever thiuk about marriage?”
he asked.
“No,” she replied.
Os course that was a lie. Os course
he knew that it was a lie and she knew
that he knew it. Consequently she
wished' that she hadn’t answered so
hastily, but that is so customary in a
woman that it should attract no atten
tion.
“If I werq a woman like you,” he
said reproachfully, “I would think of
it.”
“Would you?” sho inquired careless
ly-
“Yes, I would,” he asserted aggres
sively.
“Perhaps,” she suggested tantaliz
ingly, “you wouldn’t mind telling me
just what course your thoughts would
take—if you were a woman like me.”
“I don’t know that I can give the
exact course of reasoning,” he answer
ed, fearful that be might be getting be
yond his depth, “bfit if I were a wom
an like you I feel pretty reasonably sure
that I would marry a man like—er—
like me.”
“You do?” she said, coloring a little,
but still speaking in the same tantaliz
ing tone.
“Yes, I do, ” he returned doggedly.
“Well, if I were a man like you,”
she asserted, “Iwouldn’t expect a wom
an like me to do anything of the sort
until a man like you had asked her to. ”
It is no trick nt all to hold to the
course of true love after the mariner
once gets his bearings so long as the
signal lights continue to burn, and thus
it happened that their bark sped merri
ly on its way.—Chicago Post.

in Sicily about the year 1700, and of

the spring as the soil can be turned
without clogging, and that usually
comes early in March.
