New Goods. — Most of the Rome
merchants are now receiving their sup
plies of fall and winter goods—many
new and elegant styles.
It is probable that those who espe
cially desire your trade will let you
know through our advertising column:
Absconded. — Rev. AY. H. Thomas
(colored), who left Rome some months
since, is reported to have absconded
from Atlanta with 81500 belonging to
a colored church. So far as wc know,
he bore a good character while in our
citv.
Another New York House Failed.
A full account may be found in this
paper of the failure of Jay Cooke &
Co. Yesterday we learned from a pri
vate dispatch that Fish, Hatch & Co.
have also suspended. This was one of
the principal banking houses in New
York.

Homicide in Cherokee Ccuiity, Alabama.
VYe learn from Mr. Frank Mills,
clerk on the steamboat, that a man by
the name of Mcdcalf killed, by stab
bing with a knife, a fellow wood chop
per by the name of Abels, near Hoke’s
Bluff, on Coosa river, last Monday-
night.
It seems they fell out about a candle,
and then quarrelled with the above
named result. Medcalf made his escape
and was at large at last account. The
parties were employed in cutting saw
logs for some Gadsden mill.
A Card.
Rome, Ga., Sept. 17, 1873.
Having, to-day. after unavoidable de
lay, received the last of returns, the
Memorial Association is enabled to
make a correct statement of moneys,
from different sources, during the past
week—less expenses:
Rome, Ga., Sept. 17, 1S7£
Received of Sirs. T. AV. Alexander,
President Ladies’Memorial Association,
one hundred and thirty-seven dollars
and ninety cents, as follows : 8117.90
net proceeds of concert by the Mocking
Bird Minstrels, and 820 collected by-
Mrs. Robert Battcy-, September 12.
Mrs. G. AY. Bowen, Treasurer
Ladies' Memorial Association.
The Memorial Association takes this
means of thanking the Mocking Bird
Minstrels for their invaluable efforts in
behalf of the Monumental Fund, which
have resulted so handsomely, as will be
seen by reference to the above state
ment.
From ;the Courier of Yesterday.
Rome Market, Sept 22. — Cotton
dull to-day, with a decline since i
last of two cents. The decline is
sympathy- with the great financial pan
ic in New York, and will be but tempo
rary-. AA’e advise farmers to hold back
their crops for a few days, and
what direction the current will take.
At present there is no market and
do not give any quotations.
AVanted.—One hundred thousand
dry- and green hides, goat, deer and
sheep skins. Also, furs of all kinds
Cash paid. M. F. Gov an & Co.,

Religious Services.—An interesting
meeting is now progressing in the Meth
odist church under the charge of the
pastor Rev. A\ r . H. Crumley. Services
are held daily in the following order
Prayer meeting at half-past S o’clock A.
M.; preaching at half-past 7 o’clock P.
M. These services will be observed
during the week, except AA’edncsday
Sentenced. — The murderer John
Long, who so brutally murdered Blev-
in Taylor in DeKalb county, Alabama,
lias been tried by- the Circuit Court of
DeKalb, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. This justice is
speedy, but the punishment is hardly
adequate to the offence. The wretch
ought to hang.
Death by a Kattleiuake.
Oak Level, Cleburne Co., Ala.
September 13,1873.
Rev. Thomas AVallace, a very worthy-
minister of the Congregational Metho
dist Church, in this neighborhood, linv
gone out on the evening of the 11th
inst. to drive up his cattle, was bitten
by a rattlesnake, and died in six hours,
d 05 years. II. P. Howell.
New Goods—R. S. Norton & Son.—
The many- friends and customers of
the above named firm well know that
they always make, in their purchases,
elegant selections, from the best classes
of goods. Their large supplies of fall
and winter goods, just received, fully
sustain the high reputation of the
house ; and we would advise all, espe
cially- the ladies, to examine their beau
tiful fabrics before purchasing else
where. See advertisement.
A Card.
LaFayette, Ga., Sept. 10, 1873.
To the Editor of the Courier.
In consequence of a recent construc
tion of the card published in your
columns over my signature, during the
month of April or May last, in refer
ence to certain reports and charges
against C. T. Clements,Solicitor General
of the Rome circuit, in vindication of
myself and in justice to all parties I
hereby revoke so much of said card as
relates to the charges made by IL C.
Purycar and L. AY. Hunt, of Villanow,
AValkcr county, Georgia. This I do at
their request. J. Y. AA'ood.
E. C. llough, Merchant Tailor.
It is asserted by those who ought to
know about such things that a man
not only feels better but actually does
better by reason of being well dressed
in a neat and becoming manner. So it
limy oc mat a uiuu s muiux vuaiuv^r
is actually effected by the clothes that
e wears. AVe are at least satisfied that
one feels better with neat, well fitting
garments, and E. C. Hough knows ex
actly how to get them up, and has the
material to do it with. If you want
something elegant in the way of dress
or business suits he is the man that can
do it up brown,” or in any other color.
See advertisement.
Woodruff* & Morgan, Cotton Buyers, Home,
Georgia.
The above named have fitted up a
large and convenient sample room over
Cain Glover’s store, No 9 Broad street,
and ask the planters and commission
merchants to give them a showing on
all cotton that is offered for sale. As
they buy entirely on commission, and
only for manufacturers direct, they feci
assured of their ability to pay the
very highest prices that can be afford
ed.
Col. Frank AA’oodruQ’ and Sam Mor
gan are both too well known to the
planters of this section to need any
commendation from us. It is, at least,
safe to say that there are no better
judges of the staple in the Cherokee
Country, or parties who are more will
ing to do full justice to producers.
It is a well known fact that the quo
tations of the Selma market have been
a little higher, for the past two years,
than that of Rome, and thi3 for no
other reason than that in that city were
direct agents buying for the spinners.
Messrs. AA T oodruff & Morgan now have
irnilar agencies for some forty manu
facturing companies, and can pay as
high for same grade of cotton as they
can in Selma or any other interior
market. Try them.
Connubial.—Married on Thursday
morning, the 17tli inst., by the Rev. AV.
P. Rivers, Capt. James T. Park, of Cave
Spring, Ga., to Miss Antoinette Bryant,
youngest daugheter of the late Row-
imd Bryant, Esq., and Mrs. Julia AA r .
Iryant, at the residence of the bride’s
mother near Rome, Ga.
The parties elect as attendants of
honor to the fortunate bridegroom and
his blushing bride, were Mr. Rufus
Philips, Mr. Joseph Hawkins, Miss Sal-
lie Jones and Miss Fannie Bryant; Miss
Mary Jane Jones and Miss Flora Mc
Afee completing the circle, as graceful
supports to the officiating minister. In
tliis radiant galaxy the binary constel
lation of the groom and bride were
conspicuous in their smiling glories, re
flecting cheerful lustre on the happy
scene.
Pleasant conversation, “Sweet Music,
and sister, Song,” and a sumptuous and
elegant entertainment, enlivened the
occasion, and made it one of more than
“good cheer.”
It was one of more than ordinary in
terest to all present, especially to the
parties taking this “ new departure”
from the dull'shores of single solitari
ness for the Eden of connubial double
blessedness and domesticity.
The trepidation of the Captain, how
ever, was a little inexplicable, having
rendered gallant service to his country
in former days, under far more trying
circumstances. Dissimilar things, how
ever, arc not to be compared, we sup
pose. To lay oneself on the altar of
one’s country is a far different thing
from being a sacrifice on the altar of
Hymen. To take up arms in defence
of the fair, is very different from being
fairly captured by woman’s charms,
and a captive in woman’s fair arms.
As all is fair in matrimonial warfare,
and in heart and hand engagements,
the Captain must submit gracefully to
his fate. He is fairly and connubially
subjugated, conjugated, captivated, cap
tured, soon to be comfortably cabinned
—and cribbed, perhaps. He has the
consolation that it is a mutual capture.
Let us hope there will be no desire for
exchange of prisoners.
The chain of marriage hai not iron banda,
But golden links, which bind the lover's hands;
'Twas forged by Love divine—by Love 'twas
given—
To lower down to Earth, the joys of Heaven ,-
To bind together, in its blissful ties,
Twin souls, in holy sympathies;
To draw them up, “ together heirs of graco,”
By links of love, to Loro’s own heavenly
place—
To bind them here, as faithfol, true help-mates,
Till Lore shall lead through the pearly gates.
Yellow Jack Advancing-
Evergreen, Ala., Sept. 19,1873.
There are fifteen cases of yellow fe
ver at Pensacola Junction, on the Mobile
and Montgomery Railroad. Sam Chris

tion is down with the fever.
F. A. Monroe.
Without a New-paper.
Nothing, says an exchange, presents
a sadder commentary upon the present
condition of society than the large
number of families, both in the town
and country, but more especially in the
country, that subscribe to no paper of
any kind. How mam- families are
thus growing up utterly ignorant of
what is transpiring in the world around
them—ignorant of the mighty events
of the day.
But who can tell of the vast amount
of injury inflicted on the rising gener
ation—those who are to take our places
at no distant day—growing up without
any knowledge of the present, or any
study of the past; this ignorance, too,
being imbued into them by the sanc
tion of those who should, and doubtless
do, know better, did they only think of
the injurious effects of their insane
course.
Let the head of the family think of
this and place in the hands of those
for whom lie is responsible, the means
of acquiring some knowledge of the
moving panorama in which we act our
different parts.
Pictures.
A room with pictures in it, and a
room without pictures, differ by nearly
as much as a room with windows and
room without windows. Nothing,
wc think, is more melancholy, particu
lar to a person who has to pass much
time in his room, than blank walls and
nothing on them; for pictures are loop
holes of escape to the soul, leading it
to other scenes and other spheres.
It is such an inexpressible relief to a
person engaged in writing or even
reading, on looking up, to find his soul
escaping as it were, through the frame
of an exquisite picture, to other beau
tiful and perhaps idyllic scenes, where
the fancy for a moment may revel, re
freshed and delighted. Is it winter in
your world ? Perhaps it is summer in
the picture. AYhat a charming momen
tary change and contrast.
And thus pictures are consolers of
loneliness; they arc a sweet flattery to
the soul; they are a relief to the jaded
mind; they are windows to the impris
oned thought; they are books; they
are histories and sermons, which we
can read without the trouble of turn
ing over the leaves.
Most men like to see themselves in
print. Ladies like to see themselves in
silks and velvets.

Undeveloped Vigor.
The fc*ble an<! debilitated usually f*- ey they
arc in more hopeless than th*v re.llj
are. The reiourccs of uature are not so easily
exhausted. Even when strength and appetite
fall, when the eyes are pa'lid »nd lu»trelc« f the
complexion pallid, the nerves tremulous, the
body attenuated, and the mind depressed, there
is generally a reserve of latent power behind
such palpable evidences ol weakness.
Various modes of trcitment a-e resorted to by
physicians in the hope of developing and again
rendering available this -lore of sleeping vital
ity; but the surest, and indeed the only really
cafe and reliable means of awakening the dor
mant energies of the human system is a course of
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters.
Eloctrieity, shower hath?, the flesh brush, sea
bathing, *tc., may be wel* enough in their way
auxiliaries, but they do not reach the sources
ot the evil. All physical debility proceeds either
from a derangement of the iunctions of assimil
ating, secretive or vital organs, or from sluggish
constitution. In either case, and also in eases
•e both causes exist, the Hitters will produce
an immediate and salutary change in condition
ot the patie-it, and OA-ontually effect a complete
cure. None of the dangerous alkaloids, too ofter
administered as tonics, esn he otherwise than
deleterious under such circumstances, and tte
giving of mercury is positively criminal.
The direct cffoct of tho great vcgotable speci
fic will ba manifested in an improved appetite, a
more cheerful frame of mind, a gradual return of
strength, an increase of flesh, and a healthier
cciuplexion. Meanwhile, however, tho constitu
tion, if inert and feeble, will have been roused to
complete renovation by the subtle elements of in-
igorstion contained in the Bitters.
Pratt’s Astral Oil
Ab;olutely safe. Perfectly odorless. Always
uniform. Illuminating qualities superior to gas.
Burns in any lamp without danger of exploding
taking fire. Manufactured expressly to dis
place the use of volatile and dangerous oils
safety under every possible test, and its perfect
burning qualities, are proved by its continued
use in over 300,000 families. Millions of gallons
sold, and no accident, direct or indirect, has ever
occurred from burning, storing or handling it.
The immense yearly loss to life and property,
resulting from use of cheap and dangerous oils in
the United States, is appalling
The insurance companies and fire commission
s throughout the country recommend the Astral
as the best safeguard where lamps are used.

I an* engaged in tho manufacture of the cele
brated Family Medicine, at Atlanta, known as
the Calhoun Liver ard Anti-Bilious Pills, under
the supervision and assistance of Dr. Calhoun
himself. This Pill has been in use for the last
thirty-five years, and has taken precedence over
all other family preparations, by all who have
used them. Thousands would certify to their
great value if necessary. One fact should super
sede any amount of evidence, and that fact is
this—Dr. Calhoun has been physician to Fulton
county prison for over seven years, when the
number of prisoners ranged from 20 to 70, with
all the diseases incident to this climate. With
but few exceptions they have all Leon treated
with this pill, and astonishing to say, during that
long period, not a solitary death occurred under
his treatment. This fact is worth any amount
of testimonials.
I AM .NOW TK.fcl'AKLD

others. All orders sent to me shall have prompt
attention. There is no type of
