Oar City’s Progress.
To the Editor of die Courier:
It does do harm to brag a little now
and then about our town. The good peo
ple of Rome do less of it than any people
we knaw of. We have a city worth brag
ging about, and we suppose that is the
reason so little boasting is done. W
who have resided here for many years,
do not take note of its progress, but those
who visit us at long intervals observe it
and speak of it, and give us more encour
agement than we get from any other
source. Even in face of the hard times
ami universal depression, Rome has made
slow but suie progress, and we believe the
time is near at hand when she will take a
fresh impulse forward and our people be
cheered with the busy hun) of increased
business and more mechanical industry.
The recent improvements made by that
indomitable nereevering man, Mr. Nevin,
right in the face of stringency and shrink
age and general depression, illustrates
what a man without capital but with
plenty of nerve can do. And now a man
with both capital and nerve has just com
pleted the most elegant and stylish build
ing in the city ; Mr. Hardy’s edifice is a
monument of good taste and resolution,
and no city in the South can boast of a
business house that excels it in imposing
and substantial beauty. It does honor
alike to him and Mr. Blakeman, the
builder, and Mr. Trammell, the mason,
and Messrs. Wyatt & Maxwell, the plas
terers. Mr. Blakeman seems to improve
as he grows older in his architectural tal
ent and keeps well up with the latest im
provements in the building art. For 25
years he has exercised his vocation among
us, beginning with the fine residence of
Col Shorter and continuing upon the
Presbyterian and Baptist Churches, and
nearly every other first-class building in
the city. We learn that the Hardy build
ing was planned by our townsman Mr.
Hines Smith, and the drawings and spe
cifications of the beautiful front made by
him. This is well, and we are pleased
that Mr. Hardy had sufficient confidence
to entrust him with so particular a work
And now we hear that the masors are
soon to begin their work of erecting a
handsome three story Lodge building, and
that Col. Shorter is to begin his improve
ments on College Hill, and Mr. Hardy to
build his palatial residence. All this
looks like business, and will make our
little city lively in a mechanical way this
summer.
As for our mercantile interests, we are
assured they were never in a healthier or
more prosperous condition. With in
creased and increasing trade and greater
facilities for doing business, our mer
chants are every year enlarging the circle
of territory that patronizes Rome, and in
a few years our city will be the fixed mart
of all the surrounding country lying
within a radius of forty miles north and
east, and eighty miles south and west,
Then let ns all take fresh courage, and
if the Nobles (the oldest and best friends
the city ever had) and Mr. Stone (the
man of life and enterprise) will keep the
iron wheels moving, there will be no stay
or stop to our progress upward and on
ward. Vasce.

Tbe Constitutional Convention.
To the Editor of the Courier:
The Constitutional Convention now
seems to be the all absorbing topic.
According to the bill passed by the
Legislature, the convention will con
sist of one hundred and ninety-five
members at a cost of about one thon-
sand and sixtyfive dollars per day for
the members alone, or say not less than
fifty thousand for a new Constitution,
which, perhaps, will be as objectiona-
as the present one. If we could em
ploy Jos Brown at one thousand dol
lars to make ns a new Constitution, we
would have a much better one than
the one hundred and ninety-five mem
bers would make for fifty thousand
dollars. Junius.

■‘Charles, Mrs. Smith yet wears her winter hat!”
—Park Benjamin, Jr.
A Beautiful Gilt.
Several years prior to her death—it has
been about three years ago—Mrs. Judge
Veal ordered from Mr. Anthony Poole,
of Louisville, Kentucky, a marble cross.
It was intended for St. Peter’s church, of
this city. Mr. Poole transmitted the
order to his son, Mr. John S. -Poole, in
Italy. The cross was received a few days
ago. Last Saturday it was placed on the
altar in St. Peter’s church, and made a
beautiful show at the Easter celebration
last Sabbath. It is cut from Italian
marble. It is almost perfectly plain and
is about eighteen inches high. It is cer
tainly a beautifnl and appropriate gift,
and will ever be a beautiful memorial of
its donor.

Atlanta’. SnulT laker, Bj IVhum Bite
Sneezes,
Rome, Ga., April 2,1877.
To the Editor of the Courier:
A communication appeared in the At
lanta Constilution of the 29th ult., in
which tbe following sentence occurs, in
speaking of Kimball in connection with
those factory troubles: “We believe Be
is the only one that has the ability to
take us out of our present chaos.” This,
Mr. Editor, is a very sad commentary on
tbe business men of Atlanta. There has
been more said and published about that
factory than all the factories in the State
put together. Yet it is now almost bank
rupt, if not- quite so, and that before she
has ever turned a wheel. Still Kimball
was her first President—Atlanta’s pet,
Atlanta’s Alpha and Omega. When
Kimball takes snuff all Atlanta sneezes.
Well, I don’t much blame them for it, for
gratitnde demands it of them, for they
owe their prosperity to him, Bullock,
Blodgett and to Georgia money. Atlanta
has get a small elephant on their hands
in the shape of a cotton factory not com
pleted, and no one knows what to do with
it they say but Kimball. Poor fellows!
what can be done for them ?
A Sympathiser.
Kuter t eiebt.UuB,
Sunday afternoon, at 3 o’clock,
large number of persons crowded tbe
pews of St Peter’s church to witness
the celebration of Easter Sabbath
the children of tbe Episcopal Sunday
School. About a dozen of the front
pews were kept vacant for the children,
who organized into a procession out
doors in the rear of the Court House.
The pocession having formed, the
children with appropriate banners fly
ing on which were inscribed the names
of the different classes, and singing an
appropriate carol, marched into the
church. Hero the exercises—singing
and prayer—were continued. Dr.
Williams made a pleasant and appro-
All
prjate address to the children,
agree in testifying that the celebration
of Easter Sabbath was peculiarly im
pressive and enjoyable this year.
