somewhat. It has been decided to re
peat the entertainment Friday evening

the boy for the ministry. He is under the
training of Rev. J. M. Harris, pastor of
St. James’ Baptist church, Chattanooga.
They Need Aid.
In the city of Charleston is an insti

age, a haven for homeless and friend
less colored boys and girls. It is a
a very large and a very worthy chari

ey to sustain it because there are a
great many hqngry mouths to feed
and bodies to clothe. The president
of this charity is Rev. D. J. Jen
kins, a good and true colored man.
He now appeals to all the world to
come to the aid of the orphanage. It
is sorely in need, and there is nolittie
suffering among the orphans. Send

A Spledid Attr ction.
The scene of Niagara Falls in the last
act of “The Fast Mail,” is the grandest
piece of reality,mechanical ingenuity ever
presented upon the stage of any theatre.
The actual scene was so impressive that
Lincoln J. Carter immediately determin
ed to produce it in his piece “The Fast
Mail,” and with such gratifiying results
as to be pronounced perfect by the
thousands who have seen and compared
it to America’s wonderful natural water
fall. This attraction will appear at the
opera house Friday night. Tickets are

A Popular Bachelor Set Aright.
“Dr. and Mrs. Joe F. Davis, of
Rome, Ga., attended the Spence-
Fletcher nuptials Wednesday, re
turning home Thursday.”—Gadsden
Times-News, This paragraph does
one of the most popular members of
Rome’s bachelor colony a grave in
justice. Be it said that he is far from
being a woman hater, in fact likes
and is liked in turn by the fair sex,
but there is no “Mrs.” in the case as
yet. Rumor has it—but fid on rumor,
one can’t rely on it. Fair maidens
whose eyes may have fallen on that
cruel paragraph, and whose hearts
may have felt crushed by the weight
of its woe, should pluck up courage,
and use their sweetest smiles once

THE COTTON MARKET.
Mill. In This Section Have Laid In a Big
Supply of the Staple.
Cotton rolled into Rome at a lively
rate yesterday, and trading was very
brisk among the merchants.
The market has been rather steady
for the past several days, and while it
advances but little, there is the ab
sence of the heavy declines that oc
curred daily some weeks ago. The
staple sells for 5 to 5} on the streets.
The big cotton mills of this section
have all bought heavily during the
low prices, and are of the opinion
that the market will advance shortly.

Delegates From • Floyi Attend Conven
tion of South'Ta Cotton Growers,
MEET INJ OPENS IN KIMBALL HOUSE
The Resßtoa Will Be Very Important.—Col.
Hamilton Would Provide Avenues For
tho Consumption of Product.
The Interstate Meeting of Cotton
Growers’ convetion in the ballroom of
the Kimball house in Atlanta yester
day morning.
At the meeting here Saturday twelve
delegates were appointed to re pre
sent Floyd, and nine of them left yes
terday morning over the Southern.
They were:
Alex White, J. L. Johnson, E A.
Heard, C. P. Morton, J. H. Hoskin
sou, J. B. Tippen, K. W. Berryhill,
G. M. Redmond, I. D. Gilliard.
The greater part of the session will
be devoted to the discussion of the
present low price of cotton and to
adopting some method to raise the
price or to reduce the acreage in the
south. The convention was called by
Mr. J. C. Wilborn, president of the
Cotton Growers’ Association of South
Carolina
One of the most important things
that will come before the convention
will be the discussion of the Jackson
limbless cotton. A trip will be made
out to the farm where this wonderful
plant is being raised and the mana
gers will show the visitors every pe
culiarity of the plant and its wonder
ful possibilities.
Governor Atkinson has received a
communication from Heetor D. Lane,
commissioner of agriculture, and
president of the Cotton Growers’ as
sociation of Alabama, asking him to
appoint delegates to a convention of
cotton growers to be held in Memphis,
Tenn., six days after the convening of
the convention in Atlanta.
The governor has not yet acted and
may not, as the convention at Mem
phis will interfere with the one to be
held in Atlanta, and may prevent del
egates from some of the Southwestern
states from attending. It was the in
tention of President Wilborn to have
delegates from all of the Southern
states attend the convention here, but
it is now thought that the convention
in Atlanta and the one in Memphis
may have to actin conjunction, and,
if possible, pass the same resolutions.
Some of those in attendance at the
Atlanta convention will go to the con
vention in Memphis and in this way
the two will be in close communion.
Col. D. B. Hamilton was unable to at
tend the convention, but yesterday talked
very interestingly to a Tribune reporter.
He said:
‘ I do not think that the prosperity of
the south depends so much on the re
duction of the cotton acreage, but to
open avenues for the consumption of all
the cotton we raise. The fleecy staple is
the great crop of the south, our great
money producer.
“If we make 10,000,000 or 11,000,000
bales, the thing for us to do is to increase
our cotton mill plants, and also the ex
ports. Give a natural avenue for the con
sumption of our staple, then you will
not see the present low prices or hear
this cry-about hard times.” .

BANKERS MEETING.
Mr. John H. Reynolds Goes to Ailan’a to
Attend Bankers’ Convention.
Mr. John H. Reynolds, president of
the First National bank, left last night
for Atlanta to attend the Sou’hern
Bankers’ Convention, which convenes
today.
The meeting will be called to order in
the ballroom of the Kimball bouse at 10
o’clock this morning, and Hon. Hoke
Smith will make the address of welcome.
Between 300 and 400 bankers from all
the southern states are expected, and the
meeting will be both important and
pleasant.
Tue committee on arrangement, Mr.
George R. DeSaussure chairman, wishes
it understood that the convention is
national in character, despite the fact
that only southern men have been invited.
The convention has been called for the
purpose of discussing the advisability of
organizing a southern bankers’ associa
tion, and to discuss the policy to be pur
sued by that organization and tbe
bankers individually.

Could you give to a nobler cause than

The still and silent form of the sexton
lies ou his beloved Myrtle Hill. And his
grave is unmarked. Could Rome honor
herself more than by placing over the
sleeping form a marble shaft whose
inscription will tell the world that “a

grateful remembrance by the people. ’ ’
