Obituary.
Leonora Adele Johnston, the only
daughter of E. Mitchell and Sarah A.
Johnston, was bom in Forrestville, near
Rome, Ga., August 2G, 1S6S, and died
December 29,1S73.
Nora was a lovely child, and dear to
all who knew her. The five years she
was pennitted to dwell in this world of
sin, to her relatives was like a ray of
sunshine from heaven. Affectionate
and confiding, though only a child,
she seemed to prefer the happiness of
others to her own. Death, in visiting
our village, has plucked one of its
fairest flowers. She loved the Sabbath
and the Sabbath school. Let us all
look to Him who deals every blow in
mercy.
“ I take these little lambs,” said he,
“ And lay them in my breast,
Protection th«*y shall find in me,
In me be ever blest.
“ Their feeble frames my power shall raise,
And mould with heavenly skill ;
I’ll give them tongues to sing my praise
And hands to do my will.”
His words the happy parents hear,
And shout with joy divine ;
O, Saviour, all we have and are
Shall bo forever thine.
—Her A unt Minn ic.
A\ e would repectfully inform all per
sons indebted to us that we are needing
our money, and now expect and shall
demand a settlement of all accounts
no matter how small or when made.
Please make a “ note of this” and call at
once, (c) \V. M. & J. A. Gammon.

Estray.—Thus. J. l’errry, Commis-
ioner’s Clerk, has an estray notice in
this issue of The Courier.
Local News.—AVe hope to make the
local department of The Courier more
nteresting as we become more familiar
ifh the affairs of the city. The friends
of the paper will place us under obliga
tions by giving or advising us of all
local or other news transpiring in our
idst.
Watch Nioht.—Our friends of the
Methodist clmrcli spent Wednesday
night at their sanctuary, and engaged
in appropriate services—closinng the
year 1873 with prayer, and welcomed
the advent of the New Year. The oc
casion was interesting and impressive,
and very appropriate to the season.
Infantcide. — A male infant was
found dead in a well near the Porter
lace, beyond Forrestville, last Thurs
day. Coroner Patillo held an inquest
over it yesterday,! and the verdict of
the jury was that it was the child of
Mainly Bunn, colored, and that, in
their opinion, the child came to its
death by her hands. 8hc was arrested
by the coroner and is now in jail.
lht. C. J. Burroughs.—We are glad
to welcome this gentleman as a resident
of Rome. He arrived on Wednesday
night from Savannah, lie is a young
gentleman of cultivation and talent,
and is in every way worthy of the
kind consideration anil confidence of
our people, in whose behalf we extend
to him a cordial welcome to our midst.
For the present, Dr. Burroughs ofliee
will be at the law office of Scott &
Thornwell. Sec his card.
Ai.Uiooi) A Hargrove, Bankers.—
The suspension of this firm, during the
late panic, was only nominal, and, in
reality, continued only about ten days.
,l Their solvency was entirely beyond
piestion all the time, and had there
not been a general scare in regard to
all banking institutions, which created
a general run, they could have paid
dollar as called for. To show
the entire confidence now reposed in
them, we will state that their business
for the month of December was over
five times that of any previous month.
See advertisement.
Rome as a City.—Rome lias more
and better public improvements than
any city in Georgia. Her splendid
water works, her magnificent fire de
partment, her excellent city hall, and
her fine gas works; her communications
with the world by rail, by water and
by telegraph put her in the front of the
vanguard of progress and enterprise.
And, then, her mills, her foundies,
her schools, her extensive warehouses,
and her mercantile interests generally
make a showing no other city in the
State can surpass, when we take into
view her population.
Surrounded and backed up by the
Lest country in the world, Rome is
hound to be one of the first class
cities in the South. The iron and coal
and other mineral interests so near her
gates will all throw wealth ond pros
perity into her lap.
Romans have only to stretch out their
hands with energy and enterprise, to
reap for themselves a success to he cn-
\ vied and coveted.
following is a list of contributions
received, to be added to the M<v-kin g
Bird Minstrels’ fund, for the benefit of
the poor children:

J. Johnson, four misses’ hatsMrs. H.

The quotations below are carefully made

MONEY AND BONDS.
The Carrier Boys of The Courier
return their thanks to the patrons for
the liberal and substantial manner in
which their New Year’s calls were re
sponded to. As they have been faith
ful in the delivery of the paper at the
