A Good Appointment.
Capt. J. S. Cleghorn was last week
appointed by Gen. C. A. Evans, vice
president for the Seventh district of the
Confederate Survivors Association,
which is an honor most worthily be
stowed, says the Summerville News.
Gen. Evans and Capt. Cleghorn are
warm personal friends, and this little
token of consideration is not only ap
preciated by the recipient thereof, but
by all the confederate veterans in the
county. The next reunion will be held
in Atlanta next July and will without
doubt, be the most successful of any
meeting yet held by the veterans.

THE HOME TRIBONE FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10. IMT7
SEASON BRIGHTENS
lany Goad. Theatrical Attractions
Coming to Rome Rest of Season.
SEASON HAS BEEN DULL UP TO DATE
Robert Downing; Comes Early In January
Two .Splendid Repertoire Companies
Booked For Early Appearance.
The past few months have been
very dull in theatricals, due to the
prevalence of yellow fever in Alaba
ma, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Hundreds of attractions cancelled
their dates in the South altogether,
owing to a misapprehension that the
disease was scattered in every state
south of the Mason J and Dixon line.
Others would not come below Vir
ginia. -
But yellow fever has subsided alto
gether, and more theatrical compa
nies are moving south, and the bal
ance of the present season promises to
be quite lively and enteresting. U p
to the present Rome has felt the ef
fects of the dull times in this line as
much as the other cities.
Nevin’s opera house has been dark
ened longer periods, and its attrac
tions have been fewer than in years.
But from now on it will be different,
and the bookings are far better than
those that have come in the past few
months.
On the 17th of this month Lincoln
J. Carter’s famous “Fast Mail” is com*
ing. This stirring play has had new
features added to it, and this season
is better than ever.
From the 21st to.the 23rd Ollie Ev
ans comes in repertoire. On the 27th
we have Darrell Vinton in Shake
spearan role. This is his first appear
ance in Rome, but he ranks very high
and should have a good house.
December'3o and 81, and January 1,
Warren Conlan will be here in reper
toire.
Early in January Robert 'Downing,
Rome’s favorite actor in heroic roles,
will appear at Nevin’s for the first
time in some seasons. He has several
new plays in his repertoire, and will
probably present one of them here.
“Lost a Bride,” comes on January
12th. In February Manola Mason
will be here in Scanlan’s famous old
play, “Friend Fritz.”
There are many other splendid
bookings besides those named above.
A NEW LINE.
W. M. Gammon & Bon Have Just Received
Choice Stock of Good?.
Each year sees the custom of giving
Christmas presents assuming more
practical conditions as to the nature
of the gift. For those who contem
plate something both appropriate
and servicable, W. M. Gammon &
Son can supply their wants.
This enterprising firm has just re
ceived a choice new line of neck wear
(every color and kind to delight the
eye of the fastidious man) underwear
clothes and overcoats. This stock is
fresh from the .manufacturers, and is
the best made.
Gammon & Son have built up a
magnificent trade in shoes. Their
stock is unequalled as to fit, style and
perfection of finish.
A DROVE OF TURKEYS.
A’.Union County Man Here: With 170 Big
Fine One..
A man from Union county, way up
on the line of North Carolina, arrived
in Rome yesterday with a drove of
170 big, fine turkeys.
He had driven the fowls the entire
distance —about 150 miles—on foot.
They were very tame, and minded
every word of the owner, When he
halted they did likewise, and always
kept in a compact body. There were
no wild or unruly ones.
At night he selected a good camp
ing ground, and rested with his flock
about him until morning. He will
probably find a ready sale for them
all here.
SOCIETY next week.
Many Brilliant Affair. Are Booked To
Occur Next Week.
With the number of visiting society
belles from other cities, the McWil
liams-Graham wedding and other at
tendant festiviiies, Borne will be very
gay socially until after Christmas.
On Monday night the Conasene Co
tillion club will give an elegant ger
man complimentary to Miss McWil
liams and Mr. Graham. Messrs.
Horace E. King and Sproull Fouche
will lead many new and pretty figures.
At least thirty codples will partici
pate.
Mies Berta Maddox will entertain
the Q T. club next Tuesday after
noon at 2:30 o’clock.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Graham, of
Pinewood, Tenn., arrived in the city
last night. They come to be present

’ Graham to Miss Willie McWilliams on
I next Wednesday.
FOB PANSY CHAPEL.
Preparation. Begin For Giving the Little
Folk, a Christmas Tree.
Mr. J. A. George, who founded,
worked for and loved Pansy Chapel,
is dead. But his good deeds live after
him, and have not lagged.
It was bis custom to always give
the Pansy children a big Christmas
tree, and for these hard working little
tots it was always an epoch. Mr
Samuel Funkhouser is superintendent
of the Sunday school now, and he and
other good folks have gone
earnestly to work to give the usual
Christmas tree.
Contributions of money, apples,
oranges, candies, bananas,etc., will
be gratefully received by any of the
following:
Mesdames K. V. Mitchell, J. L
Camp, Mary JacK, J. A. George
Joshephine Stansbury, R. H. Bell,
Miss Nellie Omberg, Messrs. S. Funk
houser, Charles Hodges and J. W.
Fernanders.
The Woman’s club has already
made a most generous contribution of
toys, which were received with grati
tude by the committee.
Last year some ladies sent clothing
and if any wish to make such gifts
they will be distributed by the Pansy
poor committee among those in the
factory and vicinity who are needy
The distribution will be made from
Mrs. George’s residence.
A ball in the city will be secured
for the Christmas tree, ahd it will be
held on Christmas eve.
Cascarets stimulate liver, kidneys and
bowels. Never sicken, weaken or gripe.
