Rome Market, Oct. 17.—Cotton is
dull to-day with a downward tendency
in sympathy with the decline in New
York. This decline in New York is
attributable to stringency in money
matters, and as the stringency threatens
to continue, we fear that it will be
some time before prices rally.
We quote New York Middlings 13}
cents; Good Ordinary 12} cents.
The following are the latest telegraph
reports:

Tracklaying
Col. Pennington commenced laying
track on the Memphis Branch Railroad
three or four days since, and the work
is progressing finely. The road is nar
row guage, and the rail—made by the
Rome Iron Manufacturing Company—
eighs only 27 pounds to the yard.
The road is graded to the State line,
some sixteen miles, and we presume
the cars will be running to that point
in a few weeks.
Married.—On Wednesday evening,
the 15th inst., at the residence of the
bride’s father in this city, by Rev. Wm.

Ella, daughter of Dr. J. W. Farrell.
To the happy young couple we ten
der our warmest congratulations, and
ish for them the brighest realizations
of their rosy dreams of love.
Our friend Frank is worthy the love
his beautiful and accomplished

honest man would be proud of. May
their union be bright with a perpetual

Annual Convention.
By reference to another column you
ill see that the annual convention of
tockholders of the Fair Association
will he held in this city on the 27th
inst. The Board of Directors are anx
ious for every stockholder to be pres
ent, and they disapprove of proxies.
We are glad to sec this, because the
proxy system works badly. There
are always some persons anxious to
obtain them for selfish motives, to vote
themselves or friends in office. Proxies
should not be used unless it be abso-
utcly necessary to obtain a quorum,
tnd then only enough to make it and
no more; for they very seldom reflect
the sentiment of the giver.

The Memphis Brunch.
Wc understand that the cars will
commence running on the Memphis
Branch this morning. Will fire up
about nine o’clock, and start out in the
direction of Decatur, Ala. The laying
of the track will be pushed forward
with rapidity, and Coosaville will soon
be a railroad station. Success to the
enterprise!
The next thing we look for, and that
soon if the stockholders will do their
duty, is the new steamer coming down
the Oostanaula from Col. Samuel M.
Carter’s, in Murray county. Every cit
izen should do all in his power to hur
ry up this enterprise, for it is one that
will open up a new line of trade, and
one that will pay as well if not better
than any other. It will draw trade
from a large section of country'.
All should help, for all will be very
anxious to share a portion of the trade
that comes from that section. Let your
motto be, “ I will be as willing to give
as I will he to take.”
GlibCa* Slate Rooting Paint.
We call attention to an advertise

named recent invention. It is rapidly
coming into use in the Northeastern
States, where it is considered one of the
great improvements of the day. It is
a cheap way for making shingle roofs
last three or four times as long as they
otherwise would, and at the same time
render them fire proof. See advertise

A Beautiful Tribute to Maidenly Worth.
[We publish the following beautiful
tribute to the memory of Miss Jennie
Rowell, whose untimely death we an
nounced some time ago; not only be
cause of its touching fitness to the sub
ject, but also for its literary merit.—Ed.
Courier.]
Died.—At the residence of her father,
Miss Mary Virginia Rowell, on the 26th
of Sept. 1873.
It has been said that the dispensations
of Providence, like a piece of tapestry,
have two sides; upon the earthward
side, which we see, are the tangled and
twisted and knotted ends of trials and
chasteningsj upon the heavenward side,
which we shall see, if we are among the
blessed, all these threads are woven into
an exquisite design filled with flowers
of mercy and beautiful garlands of
love.
As we look from our earthly stand
point upon these dark dispensations of
Providence, it is hard for us to realize
all the glories that appear upon the
other side.
As we call to mind the life of Miss
Mary Virginia Rowell, remembering
her childhood, how the parents’ hearts
doted on their youngest bom; how
with her growing years and their declin
ing age the records of affection which
bound her to them seemed to grow
stronger and stronger, it seems strange
that they, with hearts already saddened
by other sorrows, should be allied upon
to sit and see a disease, like viper, fast
ening upon the fair form of their
daughter, racking her with pain, chain
ing the faculities of her mind, and
wasting away in silence without one
farewell word.
Fond parents and loving sisters and
brothers mourn her.
The friends of her childhood and
youth, who but a few short months ago
saw her depart from home in apparent
health, to be the companion of an
invalid mother, on a tour in search of
health, lament; and feeling the pover
ty of words at such a time, heave many
ympathetie sigh and offer many a
prayer for the sorely stricken parents
and family.
In the freshness of early woman
hood, with a world of promise lying
out before her, the summons came to
her. Let us hope that during that sad
and weary interval before the departure
when her mind was shut out from
earthly communings, her spirit was
communing with her God. Let us
hope that we will see her upon the
heavenward side of this dark dispensa
tion, a child of beauty and happiness.
Fire Insurance.
To the Editor of the Courier.
I would beg permission to say a few
words in regard to the exorbitant rates
charged by the different insurance com
panies doing business in Rome. It
was expected that on the completion of
our water works that the rates of insur
ance, if changed at all, would be low
ered instead of advanced, as has been
the case. The average rate charged
before the water works were built, or
our fire department organized, was from
one to one and a half per cent; but
now, since these things have been done,
the rates have been advanced to an
average of two per cent
These rates have been forced upon
us by a committee sent out from At
lanta, by the board of underwriters,
who have charge of the Southern de
partment of these different Northern
companies, and the instruction of this
board to their agents in Rome, is to ad
here strictly to the rates they make, on
penalty of being displaced and others
put in that will do their bidding.
Now I will say, that the rates are ex
orbitant, as the records of the agents
here will show. Let us take their books
from 1866 to 1873, and we will find
that the amount received at the old
rate was ample to pay their agents,
taxes, and all losses, and then pay a
handsome profit in to the companies.
Then where is the justice of submit
ting tamely to this robbing process, for
it is nothing more than robbery ? And
I would suggest that the merchants act
in concert, surrender at once their pol
icies, and covenant together on a mutual
plan of insurance, or invite some good
sound Southern company to establish
an office here in our midst, which will
have the courage to act independent of
any ring or hoard of underwriters.
They can do this, and give us safe in
surance at less than we now pay, and
still make a handsome profit
Merchant.

Rome 5Iarket, Oct 20.—Cotton is
dull to-day, very little being offered.
5Ve quote 131 cents for New York Mid
dlings; 13 cents for Low Middlings;
and 121 cents for Good Ordinary.
Personal.—Major Bums and his ac

ever seen. They were grown in Cali
fornia.
Polk Superior Court.—This tribu
nal opened its adjourned session in
Cedartown on yesterday, Judge Mc-
Cutchcn presiding.
The general financial outlook is bet
ter, although the decline in cotton is
discouraging. We hope this decline is
temporary; but the surprisingly favor
able reports of a large crop is having a
bad effect upon the market
Crockery axd Glassware. — J. B.
Carver has moved to 31 Broad street
first door above West & Bro., and is
now opening a very large stock of
crockery, glassware, house furnishing
goods, cutlery, etc. _
He bought at panic prices, and will
sell, at wholesale or retail, in a way to
satisfy all reasonable buyers.
Personal.—We were glad to receive
a call yesterday from our old friend J.
5Iorgan Smith, who is spending a few
days in the city with his father. We
were glad to see him in good health
and spirits, and hopeful of the future,
notwithstanding the dullness of trade
in which he is engaged.
Floyd County Mat.—Tlios. J. Perry
has for sale accurate maps of Floyd
county and Rome, giving all the num
bers, districts and sections of land; all
public roads, rivers, creeks and large

It is sold at the extremely low price
of one dollar. Go for one quickly, if
you want it. -
The Memphis Branch.—According
to programme, the CbJ. Pennington, the
first engine on the Memphis Branch,
fired up Saturday morning and worked
to a charm. A lively crowd was gath
ered around to witness its performance.
The following are its officers: Wiley
Harbin, at the throttle lever; E. S.
Hardwick,fireman; M. A.Nevin,wood
passer; Col. J. F. Slianklin, brakeman
and greaser.
She is a lively little craft, and thus
officered she cannot fail to do her work
well.
Removal.—By reference to our ad
vertising columns it will be seen that
E. J. Allen lias removed his elegant
and extensive stock of jewelry, watches,
clocks, etc., to his new quarters next
door to Dr. Hoyt’s drug store.
Mr. Allen, besides fitting out any
one in jewelry, watches or clocks, is
also prepared to execute any work in
that line, and will give his prompt at
tention to repairing, etc. Give him a
call.
Cold.—The rain of Sunday, and the
wind Sunday night, came chill enough
to freeze out all danger of the yellow
fever. The skies yesterday were as
blue as Gotham, and overcoats and
woolen socks were in lively demand.
Asiatic Cholera in. China.
Asiatic Cholera in China —Almost every case
cored with Pain-Killer.
Dear Sin S—During a residence of «
year* In 8iqbi and China, as a missionary, I
found your Pain-Killer a most valuable remedy
for that fearful rcouge the cholera.
In administering the medicine I found it
most effectual to give a tea-spoonfol of Pain-
Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with
sugar; then,after about fifteen minutes, begin
to give about a tablespoonfol of the same mix
ture every few minutes until relief was obtain
ed. Apply lot applications to the extremities.
Bathe the stomach with the Pain-Killer, dear,
and rab the limbs briskly. Of those who had
the cholera, and took the medicine faithfhllj,ia
the way ststefr above, eight out of ten recovered.
Bit. R. TELFORD, Uiasionu? in Chiu.
Dear Sirs:—During a long residence in China
I had used your valuable Pain-Killer, both in
my own family and among the Chinese, and
have found it a most excellent medicine,
the summers of 1862 and 1883, wnile residing m
Shanghai, I found it an almost certain cure for
cholera, if used in time. Indeed, using it in a
great many instances, I do not remember fail
ing in a single case. For three years I have
been residing in this place, more than fifty mike
from a physician, and have been obliged often
to fall upon my own resources in eases of sick*
The Chinese come to ns in great numbers
for medieine * and advice. Though without
medical knowledge ourselves, the few simple
remedies we can command are so much in ad
vance even of their physicians, that we have
almost daily applications. We allow them to
come, because it brings ui in oonftaet with them
and opens a door of usefulness. In diarrhoea,
colic, vomiting, cholera, coughs, etc., your Pain-
Killer has be#n my chief medicine.
Yours, very truly,
Bxv. T. P. CRAWFORD, Tongchow, China.
Those using Pain-Killer should strictly ob
serve the following directions:
At the commencement of the disease, take a
teaspooofol or Pain-Killer, in sugar and water,
and then ba&o freely across the stomach and
bowels with the Pain-Killer clear. Should the
diarrhoea and cramp continue, repeat the dose
every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may Ike checked and the patient relieved
in the course of a few hours.
N. B. Be sure and get the genuine article;
and it is recommended by those who have used
she Pain-Killer for the cholera, that in extreme
cases the patient take tjro(or more) tea spoonfuls
instead of one.
The Pain-Killer is sold by all the druggists
and dealers in family medicines. Price, 25 and
50 cents and $1. PERRY DAVIS A SON,

Fire.—Last Saturday evening, just
after dark, tlie upper part of the city
was lit up by the livid glare of a blaz
ing house. The alarm was given, and
soon the city was in an excited com
motion. The flames proceeded from a
tenement house occupied by Frank
Ramey, a freedman, and...was causht
from the explosion of a lamp.
The house, with all its furniture, was
consumed, but the spread of the flames
was prevented by the prompt action
of our fire department. The loss was
not considerable, but it falls heavily
upon the poor negro at this the begin
ning of winter.
S. P. Smith, Son & Brother.—Since
the recent enlargement and improve
ment of their store, the trade of the
above named firm has largely increased
and they already begin to need still
more room. Besides a tremendous
supply of all the groceries usually
kept, they have a very full and com
plete assortment of all kinds of wines
and liquors, from French brandy worth
twelve dollars a gallon down to whisky
that they can sell at ninety-five cents.
They have also the best brands of
champagne, sherry, Madeira, claret,
etc., etc. This is the only wholesale
house in Rome that keeps a full sup
ply of goods in this line. See adver
tisement.

The Natural Decay—Protect the
System.
The human body is a machine, and therefore
cannot endure forever; but, like a watch or a
sewing machine, it will last much longer if
properly regulated and duly repaired, than if
no pains were taken to keep it in order. The
great object of everyone who desires a long and
healthy life should be to put his body in a con
dition to resist the lifo threatening influences by
which we are all more or leas surrounded; and
no inTiganuit and corp*4»ljw at pr^wnt known
so effectively answers this purpose as the vital
izing elixir which, under the unpretending
name of Hoe tetter's Stomach Bitters, has been
for more than twenty years the standard tonic
of America. In crowded cities, whero the at
mosphere Is contaminated with the effluvia
inseparable from large populations ; in marshy
regions, where the soggy soil reeks with mias
ma; on the prairies and in the forests, where
every fall the air is tainted with exhalations
from rotten weeds and grasses, or decomposing
leaves—in short, in every locality where mala
ria exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague, billions fe
vers, dysentery,congestion of the liver, jaundieo,
rheumatism, and all diseases which are gener
ated by infected air, impure water, or too sudden
changes of temperature, may be surely averted
by strengthening and regulating the system in
advance with Hostetler's Bitters.
Automn is always a season of peril, especially
to weak, susceptible organisations. Even the
more vigorous are apt to be in some measure de
pressed by the humid atmosphere, loaded with
deleterious gases produced by vegetable decay.
The fall is a period of the year when the reno
vation and regulation of the living machine is
peculiarly important, and the Bitters should he
token daily at this critical season. oclsnol
