RAMBLING REMARKS.
Somebody told me this story the other
day:
A young widow put up a costly mon
ument to her late husband, and in
scribed upon it: “My grief is so great
that I cannot bear it. ”
A year or so later, however she mar
ried again, and feeling a little awkward
ness about the inscription, she solved
the difficulty by adding one word to it,
■“alone.”
"My my,” sighed Myrtle Hill yester
day witha grave look,” “I hoped every
body would do better this year, but the
O stanaula and the Etowah have both
been drinking heavily again, and here
they come and make the Coosa full. ”
“Lost your umbrella, eh? Well, I’ll
tell you away to prevent such embarass
ing accidents in the future,” said a gen
tleman to me yesterday. “It’s very
simple; all you have to do is to carry a
walking cane during the good weather,
and you’ll never forget your umbrella.
You’ll miss it the moment you go to
leave a place where you’ve laid it
down.” I
I asked a German yesterday if he in
tended going to the entertainment at
the opera house Friday evening. He
said: “Yaw.”
Users of electrio lights will be inter
ested to know that the custom of giving
►new incandescent lamps when the’ones
in use get dim is against ’the contract
between tin company and the patrons,
and will be discontinued. I understand
that an announcement will be made at
once letting the patrons know that the
custom is entirely wrong, that Rome is
the only city where it has been done,
and that in the future new lamps may
be had at cost price. This price is, I be
lieve, about 35 cents for 16 candle power
lamps, and as only two or three should
be used in a year, the individual cost
will not be much. The aggregate cost,
however, is a good deal, as the company
spent something like SI6OO that way last
year.
In this connection I am glad to know
that Mr. Marvin, the new general man
ager, is determined to make the street
lighting as perfect as possible. I usually
OFFICIAL NOTICE
OF THE
WORLD'S FAIR AWARD
TO
Dr. Price’s
Cream Baking Powder.
John Boyd Thacher, Chairman of the
Executive Committee on Awards at the Col
umbian Exposition, writing from Washington,
D. C-, to the Price Baking Powder Company,
says:
“Z herewith enclose you an official copy of your
award, which in due time, will be inscribed in the
Diploma, and forwarded to your address, unless other
wise indicated by you."
Thus are the honors awarded
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
at the World’s Fair fully verified.
On the other hand the claims to awards
at the Fair by a New York Baking Powder
are proven wholly false. Official records
show it was not even an exhibitor. Was
it because it contained Ammonia ?
wend my weary way homeward between
2 and 4 o’clock in the morning, and on
dark nights, at "least one of the lights
up my way is sure to be out—out on a
lark perhaps, certainly out of sight.
When the moon sheds its soft rays in
dreamy effulgence and darkness is driven
from this part of the earth all the lights
burn with wonderful and exasperating
regularity. I hope Mr. Marvin will
remedy this, and he says he will. I
want it f.xed so that if a light is just
compelled to take a night off it will pick
out a time when the moon shines
brightly.
I heard some ladies talking the other
day about the short comings of man,
of traits in him that were obnoxous and
each bad some example of a man who
would be “so nice” were it not for “this
or that.” It may be interesting to them
to know that a short time ago the New
York World propounded this question
to its women readers: “What short
coming in man is most distasteful to
woman. ’*

tbe scene most attractive.

Hon. Seaborn Wright Will Continue to
Live Here.
A number of reports have been current
recently concerning Hon. Seaborn
Wright's moving from Rome. Some re
ports were that he would move to Flor

about th'-se yesterday and be emphat

His many friends in Rome and this
section are delighted to know that he

money ihe Southern Railway spends in
