the afternoon of August 30th, Mrs. Lu

i mth year of her age.
Lius, in tho fullness of her years,
; ut- pas. ed away one of the few survi-

'u'teen years after the close of the war
o: the Revolution, the year of the bat-
te of the Pyramids. In her girlhood
-ac saw the star of Napoleon rise, cul
minate and set, and beheld the dawn
and meridian splendor of the nineteenth
century. In her last years, what a
wonderful panorama must memory
have spread out before her.
Mrs. Livy was born at Parsonsfield,
■ a what was then called the “ wilder-
mss, ’ but which is now the State of
Maine. The township derived its n“ me
•mm her father, who was its proprietor.
In her girlhood she was a pupil of Dan-
wl Webster. After a few years of hap
ly married life, her husband, Dr. Livy,
'“■d. leaving her with six children,
four of these, all daughters, lived to
nccome heads of families, and three
were witli her when she passed away.
flne of these daughters, Mrs. J. M. M.
Caldwell, is well known not only in
Lome and in Georgia, but throughout
■ ue South, as one of the most faithful
lr “l accomplished instructors. For the

ture, taste, zeal and efficiency which
entitle her to distinction in her chosen
field of labor.
Competent assistants are associated
with these experienced teachers.
This is probably the first and only
Seminary of the kind in the South in
which Free-hand Drawing has been in
troduced. Specimens illustrating jts
natural and importance can be seen at
the College. Thus far, lessons in it
have been given to the whole school
without charge.
In different communities and States
there are ladies who desire more ad
vanced instructions and higher attain
ments in music, or may seek thorough
preparation to teach. For their benefit
The Rome Academy of Music” will
be opened on the first Monday of Sep
tember, in connection with the College.
The course of instruction in the “Acad
emy” will be both theoretical and prac
tical, including: The fundamental
principles of music, the intervals, har
mony, voice-building and finger-train
ing to the highest possible dexterity.
Diplomat will be giyen to pupils who
acquit themselves meritoriously, iu
prosecuting the entire course prescribed
The Art Department, which is now
awakening much interest, will be fur
nished with new models and other fa
cilities, at the commencement of next
session. Young ladies who propose to
teach Drawing and Painting, according
to the most approved methods, will
serve their own interests by availing
themselves of the advantages it will af
ford at and after that time. Special in
struction will be given them in Free
hand, Ornamental Design, Model and
Object Drawing.
The boarding department has not
been sufficient, during the present scho
lastic year, to accommodate our grow
ing patronage, and although additional
room may be provided, applications
should be made in due season. The
next scholastic year will commence on
the first Monday of September.

T-1 airchild lias brought to
As to-day is the closing up of the
cotton year, it is my pleasure to give
the annual statement of cotton to the
citizens of Rome and the farmers and
merchants surrounding, that they may
compare and see our steady growth as
a cotton market.-. . ;
There has been received here during
the past season and the season before,
viz.:
1870-7. 1875-6
Via. S. R. A D. R. R_ „ 8,582 6,560
“ Rome R. R „ 3,604 3,288
** Coosa rivor .... 5,498 6,952
“ Oostanaula river non© 607
u wagon 15,50S 15,219
Total 33,100 32,632
By comparison, we see a difference
in receipts by our rivers of over 2,000
bales, on account of the extremely low
water during the late fall and early
winter. With the excess of crop over
the year before along the Coosa river,
and no boat facilities up the Oostanaula,
at least 4,000 bales found other markets.
The two weeks ending October 27th
and November 3rd, the largest number
of bales were received—the former
2,231, the latter 2,573. Over two-tliirds
of the receipts were in Rome on the
week ending December 22nd.
The highest and lowest prices paid
during the season were 121 cents second
week in January, and 9 cents during
the first five weeks from September 1st.
The average prices are as follows: Mid
dlings 11.35; low middlings 10.99;
good ordinary 10.33; for the three
grades 10.89.
Rome still claims the honor of being
the best cotton market within a radius
of two hundred miles, and it is mainly
due to her honorable, high-toned and-
gentlemanly buyers, who control stand
ing orders direct from the spinners and
manufacturers, thereby giving the ut
most limit in prices to the producer.
Prices maintained a closer average
the last season than for many past sea
sons, from the fact that tho fall of 76
was unusually dry and pleasant, and a
majority of the cotton was picked and
marketed before any Providential inter
ference of rains or wind. Crop lots
were uniform and clean.
Rome’s advantages are not yet ap
preciated by her merchants and citizens.
They are not fully alive to interests
which are vital to them, in ways and
means to draw a large floating trade,
which seeks other markets. For in
stance, not one bale of cotton, and but
very little other produce, reached here
on account of boats not adapted to low
water navigation on the Oostanaula
river.
Another drawback has been insuffi
ciency of money to move the crop,
though our banks are good enough, yet
the cry has been heard for the past two
seasons, at several times, “ No money!”
“ No money!”
With the flattering prospejt of full
crops, the anticipated increase of river
transportation and additional banking
facilities for the coming season, war
rants the calculation of receipts in
Rome to the figures of 45,000 bales.
I cannot close without referring to
the matter of warehouse charges on cot
ton. They are inadequate to a remu
neration for the responsibility assumed
and labor bestowed. The present rates
are unsatisfactory to the warehousemen,
as they well know, and their experience
will bear me out in the assertion that at
present rates there is not a living in
them, much les3 a margin of profit.
There is no intelligent fanner who
brings his cotton to Rome that would
object to paying a price which will
justify the warehousemen in charging
for weighing and storing for the first
thirty days, and in my humble opinion
50 cents per bale is a fair and just
price.

The Manganese Mines Near Cave Spring.
Editor Courier: I have just returned |
from a visit to the manganese mines
worked by D. E. Hoff & Son, and situ
ated about three and one-half miles
from Cave Spring. The company haye
at this time three mines in full blast.
They are all worked by means of tun
nels. The mines are owned by Miller
Wright, Wattfe and Youngblood. Up
to date the company have shipped 100
tons, and are extracting eight tons per
day at present. They also run during
the night, extracting the same quantity
of ore as in the day. The quality of
78 por oont. of peroacjrlo of man
ganese, and is used for making glass,
steel and bleaching powders. The ore
is worth about $20 per ton in New
York. The amount is inexhaustible,
and in the hands of Mr. Hoff, who is
one of the most energetic men I ever
met, it promises soon to develope into
one of the leading mines of the country.
Visitor.
The Whisky Tax.
Editor Courier: “Solo,” in the Cour
ier of the 23d ultl, has put to me cer
tain questions which I will answer by
saying that they are foreign to the mat
ter in hand, and can have no direct or
positive bearing upon my propostion.
That some grand juries fail to do their
duty I admit, but so do some other
State officers at times. I don’t pretend
that my suggestion of giving our grand
Juries inquisitorial powers in regard to
violations of the United States revenue
laws, will be followed up in every in
stance by,a Speedy inilictment, but what
I do say is, that in the long run it will
be productive of good, and will give to
the Government what it needs, viz:
local assistance. I have never intended
to convey the idea that the grand juries
should collect the tax, but only to assist
in its collection by reporting all illicit
distilling. Thankful for the courtesy
shown by “Solo,” I close the discussion
of this maiteT, by hoping that our Leg
islature will give my suggestion a trial
at least. If wo can get such men to
represent us in that body as our dele
gates to the late constitutional conven
tion, I believe its importance will then
be seen and acted upon.
Respectfully,
S. P. Smith.

The rivers are getting very low, which
makes it favorable for the Government

Rev. Mr. Nunnally was too unwell
to conduct service at the Baptist Church
Sunday night last, suffering with throat

We received yesterday a visit from

wish him a pleasant visit.
Mrs. J. M. M. Caldwell -will return

Mary Wright, an erring white wo
man, who, though she has been Wright
all her life, has been wrong a-good part
of it, or, rather, the bad part of it, was
sent to jail Friday.
Lieutenat Marshall, engineer in
charge of tlie Goyernment works on the
Coosa, is in want of hands, and pays
one dollar per day and board. One
hundred can get employment at that
price.
We are pleased to learn that the
Cherokee Baptist Female College and
the Rome Female College opened yes
terday under very flattering aupices.
Many new pupils and most all of the
old ones are in attendance.
From what we hear, tho street on
which the jail is located ought to be
put in jail for being disorderly—or
rather, for being “all out of order.”
Maybe the street is not responsible,
however. The attention of the Street
Committee is especially -called to the
condition of the sidewalk on this street
from King to Lumpkin streets. Com
plaints are loud and deep.
Some time since the Library Associa
tion of Atlanta presented Henry H.
Smith, of this city, with a fine walking-
wuo. A raw days ago lie extended to
the Association, in return, an excursion
down the Coosa in the _elegant.steh.mer
Sidney P. Smith. The Association has
accepted tte invitariflri, and now waits
for the time to be f>ei. We hope the
Association will come up in full force,
for we feel sure they will have a pleas

We received a letter yesterday from
Buena Vista, this State, making in
quiries about Rome, in which the wri

thither with his family; also, “there are
Several families who would move from
here (Buena Vista) there (Rome) if
they could get some accountC&f the
place.” We sent him the pamphlet is

merce, and also gave what additional
information: we could.
Just before the up passenger train
on the Georgia Railroad reached Union
Point Saturday night last some un
known person threw a rock into the
ladies’ coach, breaking out one of the
windows. Fortunately no one. was on
the seat next to the window. It is un
fortunate such offenders cannot be iden
tified and punished. They must be
men of the most deprived hearts, who
seek to inflict injury without regard to
age or sex. It is getting to be so that
none know when they are safe. The
railroad officials are not to blame
for it. If they could ferret out the
guilty parties they would not spare the
rod of correction.
The colored excursion to Talladega
on Saturday last turned out to be any
thing but a pleasant one to some of
the participants. Armstead Billups
and several others, it appears, got on a
drunk and created some disturbance
and were arrested and tried before the
police court there, and relieved of some
$18 or $20. Tho whole party were held-
at Talladega "that night until a late
hour, so they did not return until Sun
day morning. Some of the Rome party
received a dispatch when they reached
Jacksonville, that one of their party
had been left dead on the platfonn at
Talladega. No one seems to know who
it is. We hope this will teach them
the lesson that these excursions never
profit them anything, result in more
harm than good. Will they heed the
lesson ? We hope so.

for the girls, God bless ’em; another is -
for the men, Lord have mercy on ’em
and the other for a mixture of both,
who have got a hard road to travel in
this sin-struck world. I always sym
pathise with a growin’ family, for
there’s death, and taxes, and slander,
and lawsuits, and measles, and biles,
and night-mare, and poor relations that
ain’t put down in the posters, and no
body can’t dodge ’em. I’ve never seed
the family yit that hain’t had its sheer
of trouble. The only anekdote agin
trouble that I know of is sweat, hard
work—and that’s accordin’ to scripter.
When I’m at work I’m happy. Money
that I don’t earn don’t do me any
good. I don’t hanker .after anybody’s
gold. The other day I was in a bank
vault, ami I never touched a dime,
looked rver my shoulder to see if they
was a watchin’, and they wasn’t They
never stopped figgerin’. Its mity few
men they wouldn’t watch. But, you
see, I’m blooded stock, and they know
it. I run with the big folks, I do-
Judge Underwood speakB to me regu
lar, and Clemens and Dick Harris and
Col. Shorter, and all sich. These bar
bers shave me, and the bankers do, too,
as to that What a pity everybody ain’t
honest. If they was, these bankers
wouldn’t need vaults, and iron doors,
and steel bars, and big locks. They
could just leave their money on the
counter, and the doors open, and step
out and buy a watermelon whenever
they wanted to. I get - mity sorry for
them poor fellers havin’ to watch so
much. But they don’t watch me. I’ve
got so familiar with them and their
money they know I don’t want it. Fa
miliarity breeds contempt—that is, I
mean contempt for money. If they
would let everybody finger their money
and set about .in their vaults, nobody
would steal from ’em. You hide
thing, and everybody wants to find it.
You put money under a lock and ev
erybody wants to pick it. You git
hold of a secret, and even your wife
will take a fit if you don’t tell it. That’s
human natnr. Huffaker never lost a
watermelon till he hired a man to
watch ’em. I wish these bankers would
just try it one night, and leave all the
doors open and all the Jmoney lying
around loose—-just to see how it would
work. I think the way they do is a
slander upon the community, don’t
you
Of course we had to join issue with
Wyatt, and left him admiring his
theory, but more than ever impressed
with the conviction that, as a judge of
human nature, he was an unsophisti
cated fool.
