The Chattanooga Times of last Tues
day said: “The pleasant intelligence
has reach ad the friends of the bride beie
of the marriage of Miss Lutie McNulty,
formerly of this city, and Mr. Richard •
Allen, of South Carolina, which event
was solemnized last Thursday. Mrs.
Allen, nee McNulty, was for many years
a resident of this city, and she has a
number of admiring friends here. She
is aunt of Miss Susie McNulty. A bit of
romance attaches to the happy mairiage,
as Mr. and Mr-. Allen were affianced
sweethearts years ago, and separated
only to meet again after twenty years,
and to perfect the happiness arranged for
in Mrs. Allen’s girlhood. They are resid
ing at Rome, Ga.
“What shall we name it?” That is
what a dozen merry girls wish to ask
about a club they organized yesterday.
The club season has opened and Rome
has a number of them, but this latest
one gives promise of being one of the
smartest and busiest. They-; will en
tertain morning and evening both.
Their gentlemen friends will be en
tertained at the evening meetings.
The form of entertainment will be
cards, dancing and other ways. Miss
Julia Bayard was elected president.
The members of this , delightful club
are as follows: Julia Bayard, Francis
Berry, Laura Berry, Linnie Thomas,
Mattie Rowell, Floy Rowel], Willie
McWilliams, Mary Berry, Mamie
Berry, Bessie Sproull, Annie Beattie,

which stands for “The Delightful
Club?”

Miss Scylla Thomas, of Dalton, tak
ing the cue from a dining given at the
home of Congressman Maddox during
her visit to Rome at which discussion
turned on “what is the best thing you
ever eat?” writes an article for the
Dalton Argus. She interviewed a

tertaining article.
Cadet Arthur West, of the Naval
Academy, enjoys the distinction of stand
ing at the head of his class in efficiency,
the class numbering fifty-five members.
This is the highest honor a second
class man can obtain, efficiency being the
test of the executive ability of a nayal
officer for commanding and executing;
for knowing what to do, and how to
do it.
Cadet West is at", present having
trouble with his eyes, which are being
treated by a specialist.
The Q. T. club was most delightfully
entertained on Wednesday afternoon by
Miss Helen Eastman.

rents.

The alumnae association of Shorter
college will meet with Miss Berta
Maddox on Monday afternoon at 3
o’olock.
Considering the weather and all the
circumstances the ladies bazaar was a
surprising success. Had the weather
been propitious Whatsit would have
been is a matter of speculation.
The different booths with their
picturesque decorations presented a
brilliant and beautiful scene. They
were not so pretty, however, as the
bevy of pretty girls.
The first booth on the right; was
the flower booth which was a bower
of beauty with roses,chrysanthemums,
geraniums, ferns, palms and other
hot house plants.
The fancy work booth had many
articles exquisite in design and work
manship suitable for Christmas pres
ents.
Beyond was the which
was sweetest of all.
Yesterday afternoon andj last nigh
the phrenologist made things
interesting.;
The fish pond and the fortune tell
ing device made much fun for every
body.
The concert on Friday night under
direction of Prof. Fortin was a most
delightful feature. The students of
the Southern Conservatory of Music
always reflect credit on'that institu
tion.
On Friday and yesterday many
dinners and suppers were served.
The ladles who worked so hard for
the success of the bazaar deserve much
credit.

Rome is to have a rattling good ama

local enthusiasts say so.
They will begin practicing candidates
for positions in January should the
weather permit. There will be about 25
well known local players who will hustle
for a place on the team, and out of all
this material it is expected that a first
class team will be secured.
Mr. Will Sanford, one of the best
amateur pitchers in the South will coach
and manage the team, it is said. This
will guarantee Rome a team for next
season that will be prepared to meet any
amateur organization in the country.

IT IS MAYOR MORRISON.

The election for mayor and four
councilmen took place in North Rome

163 exercised the right yesterday.
Only one of Mr. Morrison's men
was elected to the J council B. E

The Morrison ticket was as follows,
with vote each received:' R. B. Mor
rison, mayor, 82; conncilmen. B. E.

wile.
The race was spirited, hut entirely
friendly, and quite close as will be
seen. The present administration as
it stands is for annexation to Rome.
