NOVEL WINDOW DECORATION.
Fahy’s Show Window of Handerchiefs
Attracts Much Attention.
There is a very fetching window at
Thoa Fahy’s Trade Palace. It is done
in a light ehade of green covered with
linen handerchiefs, of which Fahy
has an immense stock. The design is
the top of a globe covered with hand
erchiefs in wavee. Upon one side is
Ireland on the other America—the
home and market of linen respectively.
There is a cute little ship under sail
bearing a cargo of handerohiefs. Santa 1
Claus is the minature helmsman. 1
The name “Fahy” is done in hander- 1
chiefs in the back while “Xmas”
ornaments the side. The embroider- 1
ed and hemmed square are thrown •
carelessly over the floor. The work <
was done by Mr. R. Lee Byrd and is
by far the best he has done for Fahy. i

FOUR CORNERED RACE. 1—

I
Interest Warming Up In the Race For
Fire Chief. ]
Developements in the election of a
chief for Rome’s matchless fire de- i
partment, have given the interesting
situation many new phases in the
past few days. Since the Hooks put ,
out such a formidable man as Mr. W. .
J. Griffin, interest is much keener,
and it is authoritatively rumored that 1
Capt. Charlie Taylor, of No. 4, who is
an independent candidate, will retire
from the race in favor of Griffin. If so j
this will so strengthen him, that
Capt. Word and Mr. W. T. Drennon,
will redouble their efforts to overcome |
this lead, j
No personalities are indulged in and (
the race is good natured, every one
claiming and believing that worth and (
ability will elect, and re-voice the oft- (
quoted • ‘survival of the fittest. ” Mr. (
Fred Hanson is running a lonesome {
race for first assistant, and his popul- .
arity is much in his favor. As yet no
one is announced for second assistant
but Mr. Chas Taylor will no doubt
content himself with that juicy
marsel.

; THE FARMERS MEET
I
■ Held Convention in Court House at 11
1 Yesterday Morning.
LARGE DELEGATION GOING TO ATLANTA
—i
They Will Meet With Inter-State Colton
Growers Convention Next Tuesday,
Discuss Reduct! jn of Cotton Acrage
The rainy Weather yesterday morning
prevented a very large attendance at the
convention of Floyd farmers at the
court hbuse. But the meeting was quite
an important one.
Capt. J. L. Johnson was in the chair
and gave an interesting talk, in opening
the meeting, in referring to the condi
tions of the farmers now with cotton at
5 cents, and outlined the object of this
and the general convention in Atlanta.
Talks were made also by Col. D. B.
Hamilton. Alex White and M. T, Pal
mer.
The following resolutions were offered
by Capt.' Johnson and unanimously
adopted:
“Feeling sensibly the disastrous effect I
of the low price of cotton on all business
enterprises in the south; and realizing
the folly of growing for the coming year
another ten million bale crop with full
knowledge that by so doing a furthe r
depression in price of said crop will come
to us.
“Resolved, That we will heartily co
operate with the inter- state meeting of
cotton growers to be held in Atlanta on
December the 14th in putting into active
operation any movement seeking to
reduce the acreage of the cotton crop for
the year 1898.
“Resolved further, That we appoint
delegates to said convention to represent
Floyd county in such movement as fully
as may be to such end.
“Resolved, That we Invite all citizens
interested in the welfare of our country
to 00-operate with us, and invoke their
good wishes and advice to accomplish
this result.’’
The following committee was ap
pointed to attend the Inter State Con
vention of Southern Cotton Growers in
Atlanta which convenes next Tuesday.
Alex White, J, L. Johnson, D. B.
Hamilton, E, A. Heard, C. P. Morton,
