Dr. Eben r Hi!lyer’d Last Night.
The hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs,
Eben Hillyer was ablaze with light and
garnished with Christmas evergreens last
night for the December meeting of the
Lanier circle. Mrs. Ethel Hillyer Harris
was to the regret of all too ill to be
present. The hearty welcome and cordial
hospitality extended made all the mem
bers and visitors feel at home despite the
pouring rain. The attendance was not
as large as usual owing to the dreadful
weather.
Dr. Battle was as happy as usual as the
presiding officer and Mrs. Rowell’s
minutes were a feature as usual.
Miss Darby sang two pretty songs dur
ing the evening, entitled “Love Me”
and “Sweetheart, sigh no more.”

Big Rush On the Last Day and Ahbut
825.000 Taken In.
The busiest place in busy Rome
yesterday was Tax Collector V. T.
Sanford's office.
From early morning until near 9
o’clock last night crowds of people
pushed and shoved for position at
any one of the thfee windows where
Messrs. V. T. and Will Sanford and
C. E- Patton were taking in money
for taxes.
It was the last day for paying the
taxes, and everybody who could
scrape together money enough, was
on hand. About $25,000 was received
in gold, silver, bills and Sev
eral hundred dollars came by mail.
The biggest individual check was
from the Massachusetts Mill Compa
ny, at Lindale, who paid in $6,200.
But a very large number failed to
pay, and tax .fifas will be issued at
once. Mr. Sanford has strick orders
from the comptroller general.

Train Delayed Eleven Hours by the Aeci
denc at Lavender Station.
The Tribune Sunday morning had
an exclusive story about the accident
to the north bound passenger on the
C. R &S.R. R. Saturday afternoon.
The engine was derailed, and it was
thought that it could be put back on
the track in a short time. The acci
dent occurred at Lavender ten miles
north of Rome, and as there is no tel
egraph office there, word had to be
sent back to Rome-
As it happened the train was de
layed eleven hours.
The orew of men went from here and
were until near 4 o’clock Bunday
morning getting the engine back on
the track. The passengers had to sit
weary and disconsolate in the oars
until that time. Miss Edna Cain of
Summerville, was a passenger on
the train.
The trains arrived and departed on
schedule time yesterday.
