WEST-NEWCOMBE.
A Happy Marriage Was That
Monday.
ROME AND ROCKMART
Joined by the Wedding of Mr.
W. J. West and Miss Mamie
Newcombe.
Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock, at
the home of the bride’s mother in Rock
mart, Mr. William J. West, of this city,
and Miss Mamie Newcombe were mar
ried, Rev. Mr. Nisbett, of Cedartown, of
ficiating. Only members of the family
were presen’ at the ceremony. Mr.
West went to Rockmart Sunday, fol
lowed yesterday morning by his brother,
Mr. Roy West, and his sisters, Misses
Mary and Ella West. The wedding oc
curred at the home of the bride and was
impressively solemniz-id in the quietude
of the home circle. There is always a
■charm about a home wedding, and with
the flowery decorations, the sweet sim
plicity and the charming hospitality
shown at their pretty home, together
with the womanly magnetism of the
bride, the attractiveness of the groom
and the happy manner in which the min
ister performed the ceremony, emotions
both solemn and joyful were aroused.
Soon after the ceremony the party
boarded the E. T., V. & Ga., and ar
rived in Rome before 5 o’clock. Prof.
Earnest West, of Atlanta, brother of the
groom, was on the same train. Mrs.
Seaborn Jones, aunt of the bride, Mrs.
Newcombe, Miss Birt Thomas and Mr.
and Mrs. Nesbit were others [of the
party.
Last night at the home of the groom’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. West, in
East Rome, a wedding reception was
given and was attended by scores of the
friends of the happy young couple. The
decorations at the house showed much
taste, and the scene was pretty and in
spiring in every detail. The front par
lor was hung in white curtains, the banks
and masses of chrysanthemums were
white, and the trimmings were all of
white, with a little green ivy here and
there. The rear parlor was in yellow
yellow bangings and yellow flowers. The
library which was also thrown open to
the guests] was decorated in green. Ivy and
holly predominated. A rustic candelabra
twined with ivy was a pretty conceit
here, the candles throwing soft light on
the green vines and red berries. The
supper room was in pink, and the beauty
of the decorations vied with the more
substantial and elegant bearings of the
tables in attracting the attention and ad
miration of the guests.
In the rear parlor on the several tables
was a beautiful array of presents. Silver
sets—water and table—many silver pieces
from card baskets to spoons and forks
and baking dishes and soup tureens glit
tered in the cherry lights. Pretty pic
tures appropriately framed, china sets
and china pieces were there in profusion,
all exhibiting beauty and many of a mas
siveness suggestive of great value.
A delightful evening was spent by ev
ery one present, and many were the sin
cere and hearty congratulations and well
wishes. Mr. West is so well known in
Rome that any comment seems unneces
sary. He has lived here all his life, and
has been prominent in both business and
social circles. His friends are numerous
all over this section.
Miss Newcombe,the bride, has lived at
Rockmart, but has visited in Rome sev
eral times, and every trip added to her
already long list of friends and admirers.
She not only possesses physical beauty,
but combined with beauty of mind and
character, and possesses a magnetism that
attaches all to her with whom she comes
in contact.
One pretty idea of the wedding is that

DI ED SUNDAY NIGH T.
Mr Thoa, J. Craton, a Well Known and
Popular Farmer Passes Away.
Mr. Thomas J. Craton died Sunday
night at his home near Brice’s station,
thirteen miles from the city. A little
over a year ago Mr. Craton received a
blow on the head while working at his
gin, and from this he bad never fully re
covered, although he was out attending
to business most of the time until re
cently. A few weeks ago the old injury
began troubling him, and he was soon
considered dangerously ill. For over
two weeks he has been unconscious, and
late Sunday night, he breathed his last.
Mr. Craton was one of the most suc
cessful farmers in Floyd county, and
amassed considerable property. He was
worth near $75,000. He was a man who
easily made friends, and his death will
be mourned in many families in this
section. He leaves a widow and five
children. Generous to a fault, kind
hearted and true to his friends deep re
gret was expressed on all sides yesterday
when the death was known. He was a
brother to Mr. John Craton.
He will be buried this morning with
Masonic honors at the Pleasant Hope
burying ground, and following is the

considerably richer. At the first sign of

that
to the
largest number of one that
does a work which pleases a few critics
and nobody else knows anything about?
It is a question ambitious young artists,
authors and musicians may well put to
themselves at the start of their careers.
It has happened not seldom that the
music, pictures or books which the orig
inator of them himself thought least of
have been those that made his fame im
mortal. The great public itself often
has a truer critical instinct than the
learned.
Criticism is a fashion of the hour, like
a bonnet. If the painting or poem, like the
bonnet, is out of the fashion, the critics
sneer at it. The very same style comes
to be fashionable again by and by. Then
the critics applaud. The public, on the
contrary, knows what it likes and trou
bles itself no further.
That is the truest, greatest artist in
any walk who strives to at once please
the public and cultivate and refine their
taste. The carpet and wall paper artists
who changed the crude, gaudy patterns
of a generation ago to the soft, rich,
harmoniously blended hues and patterns
of the present day have done a greater
service than if they had painted some
of those stuffy old pictures in the Euro
pean churches and galleries. The com
poser who shall write a song that will
thrill and inspire the common people
helps the race more than he who gives
it a difficult opera.
Coffee drinkers have cause to rejoice.
The contract for the completion of anew
line of railway—the Tehuantepec—from

plantations in the world has been signed,
and possibly the road will be completed
in time to bring in next year’s coffee
berries. Then Brazil can amuse herself
as much as she likes with revolutions,
and it will not raise the price of coffee.
In addition to this the Tehuantepec road
will bring to the United States much
trade that now goes to London.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THUIIS..AV, NOVEMBER SO; 1898.
THE TARIFF BILL
Prepared by the Democrats
Made Public.
A SUMMARY OF THE BILL
By Representative Bryan, of
Nebraska—The Proposed
Free List.
Washington, Nov 27.—The new dem
ocratic Tariff bill was made public today.
The following summary of the bill baa
been prepared by Representative Bryan,
of Nebraska:
“The bill just completed puts wool,
coal, lumber, salt and i.-on ore on the
free list. It reduces the tariff on sugar
from one-half to one-quarter of a cent
per pound. It also provides for the ex
termination of the bounty by degrees.
As a rule the tariff has been made low
est upon the cheaper goods of necessary
use and left highest upon more expen
sive articles.
“The wool schedule will perhaps at
tract most attention. We have left no
duty higher than forty-five per cent on
manufactures es wool, and that only on
ready the average being
less than forty-five percent. The cheaper
quality of blankets and flannels are only
taxed 25 per cent, and the lower grades
of carpets are only 20. We have also ap
plied a gradual reduction to the woolen
schedule so that at the end of five years
the highest duty will be forty per cent
and the average nAr thirty per cent.
Very material reductions have been
made in the cotton schedule. We have
placed iron ore on the free list and made
a large cut all along the metal schedule.
The duty on steele rails is reduced more
than 50 per cant. Free lumber will be a
great benefit to the people of the prairie
states and free salt will give to those
who need salt fortheir cattle or for cut
ting meats the same advantages which
have been secured heretofore by means
of rebate on those who cured fish.
Agricultural implements have been
placed upon the free list in order to en
able the farmer to better compete in for.
eign markets, and because many of our
agricultural implements are being made
Ohsspar abroad. than at home.
The Proposed FreeLlSL..
Washington, Nov. 27.—Among the
principal additions to the free list are
the following: Bacon, hams, beef, mut
ton, pork, and meats of all kinds not es
pecially provided for in this act; binding
twine, borax, camphor, bituminous coal,
coke, copper, in all its crude forms; cot
ton, ties, iron ore, cotton seed oil, agri
cultural implements (cotton gins specially
named), salt, soap, building materials,
excepting marble, lumber, timber and
wood, in all but a few conditions, which
are named, and wool.
BURNED TO THE GROUND.
The Old Foster Homestead Laid in Ashes
Sunday.
Sunday morning the home of Mr. John
H. Foster and Mr. Robert Foster, known
as the old Foster place, was burned to
the ground. It is about eight miles from
Rome, and is well known to all the old
citizens of this county.
It was one of those old, before-the-war
homes, and when the flames were started
in the kitchen, the entire structure was
ablaze. Deputy Sheriff McConnell, fath
er-in-law of J. H. Foster, drove np a few
minutes before the fire was discovered
and aided much in saving goods and the
out houses. He carried out Mrs. Foster,
who fainted before getting outside.
Mr. Robert Foster was away at the time
of the burning. He and his brother lost
almost all they had in the house, very
few articles being saved.
By good work, the barns were kept
from the flames. The loss amounts to
$2,500. No insurance. The young men
are popular and prosperous farmers, and
their many friends sympathize with them
in their loss.

1 The “Gibraltar of Republicanism,” as
Philadelphia has been sometimes called,
* seems to be in a bad way over the col
ored police question. In Brooklyn, ruled
i till the last election by Democrats for
( some years, the colored policeman bunks
in with his white brethren of the force,
( occupying the same headquarters and
sleeping room. At first there seemed to
be some friction and a nervous irritabil
’ ity in regard to it on the part of some
, police gentlemen of Hibernian descent,
but this rubbed itself out after a- time,
and there was no further trouble. In
j Philadelphia, however, color feeling rose
, so high in police circles that at the Nine
. teenth district station house a separate
. room was provided for the colored po
; lice officers, and one of them was re
, minded by a white officer and brother
- that he belonged “with the niggers up
- stairs.” Thereupon a committee of col-’
r ored citizens waited on his honor the
, mayor, and informed him of the caste
I and color line that had. been drawn by
i some of his white employes, likewise re
minding him that colored, votes made no
small part of the Philadelphia Repub
lican party. Then they gently hinted
i that colored voters did not approve of a
policy in police quarters like that of the
i “Jim Crow car” system on southern
i railway lines. The hint was sufficient.
