FROM SATURDAY’S TRI-WEEKLY.
Fine black suits very cheap at Kohn
& Co.’s.
Some of the drummers are getting
into trouble.
Grand Master Butler was much
pleased with his visit to our city.
Col. and Mrs. James A. Reeves, of
Centre, Ala., were in the city yesterday.
Dr. E. H. Richardson, of Polk, has
been in the city on business for the last
few days.
If you wish to save money buy your
goods and clothing at Kohn & Co.’Si
the cheapest place in the city.
* Lovelace can give perfect fits and
good trades in boots and shoes, shoe
ing, leather, etc. See advertisement.
Quite a number of our citizens have
been down to the Fair. Some think it
was a big thing, while others think not.
Rev. A. W. Caldwell, formerly of this
city, is here on business, and will re
main a few days. He looks as natural
as in days of yore.
Wagons are coming here from be
yond Dalton, Calhoun, Cartersville,
Van Wert, and from a long ways all
around, for Rome is the best cotton
market they can hear of or find. That
accounts for the milk • in the cocoanut.
Our merchants seemed busy yester
day. The receipts of cotton were larger
than on any previous day this season.
We noticed many visitors from the
contiguous counties in Georgia and
Alabama.
Another Premium.
Mrs. J. B. Winslow, of South Rome,
won fifteen dollars in prizes at the State
Fair. Five dollars for the best fire
screen, and ten dollars for the best spec-
men of rustic work, and (we must be
allowed to say) did not Win-slow.
Who Can Beat It ?
William and Joseph Ritch, sons of
Rev. O. P. Ritch, picked seven hundred
and four pounds of cotton on their
father’s place, four miles down the
Coosa river, last Tuesday ; and to beat
that, they gathered in eight hundred
pounds on Thursday. EScat> -Fy they
tied, picking in the two days seven
hundred and fifty-two pounds apiece.
They began at dawn and picked till
dark, stopping, however, for dinner,
and the cotton was not extraordinarily
good for picking. Let him who beats
this go head.
They Remembered Him.
It gave us pleasure to hear Mr. Har-
pold read out, as among the articles
placed in the corner-stone of the Bap
tist Female College building, “the au
tograph signature of Rey. L. R. Gwalt-
ney, first President and first friend of
the college, deposited by John W.
Janes, Sec’v and Treasurer Board of
Tiustees.” If ever a man deserved a
warm place in the hearts of the people
of his church, and of the friends of ed
ucation, he does, and such place we be
lieve he has in the hearts of all who
know him here. And we would wish
him nothing worse than that the story
of his labors for the building up of this
school shall go down from generation
to generation, until the marble
of the corner-stone of the college
building, disintegrated by the lapse of
ages, shall expose his autograph to sight
again.
A Day of badness.
Last Thursday was a day full of sor
row to the people of Rome. It brought
anguish of the bitterest kind to the
hearts of the parents and relatives of
three little ones, of whose lives it may
be truly said the pitcher was broken
at the fountain.
In the morning, little Laura Seay,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. IV. W. Seay,
passed away. After loDg months of
suffering her gentle spirit took its flight,
and the eyes closed in pain upon earth
were opened in joy to behold the ever
lasting glory of the iand of the blest.
About noon, little Charlie Rounsa-
ville, son of Mr. J. W. Rounsaville, was
killed on Broad Street by the running
away of his pony. He had got on the
pony for a short ride. Using a saddle
with stirrups too long, he put his feet
through the straps, and the pony taking
fright at something ran down the street.
The brave little fellow held on for a
while, but eventually was thrown, and
his foot hanging in the stirrup-leather,
he was dragged by the terrified horse
about seventy yards, when the girt
breaking, the little lifeless form was re
leased. His body was tenderly lifted
and carried into the drug Etore of Dr.
Mitchell, but life was extinct. The
gloom cast over the minds of our peo
ple by the sudden and tragic manner
of Lis death was intensified by sympa
thy with the parents, who were absent
at the time on a visit to the Fair at At
lanta, as all knew so well how fondly
they loved their boy, and how their
bright hopes would be changed into
heart-rending grief.
At night, another little one was called
up higher. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Hoss
had buried their little daughter, Sallie,
at 3 o’clock p. m., and returning home
they watched by the bedside of their
little Willie until death released him
from his sufferings.
Corner Stone of the Baptist College.
Thursday was a propitious day for the
ceremony of laying the comer stone of
the Baptist Female College, which was
done by the Masonic fraternity,' under
the direction and supervision of M. W.
David E. Butler, G. M., and the follow
ing ^ro. tern, appointees :

G. T.; W. H. Harpold, G. S.; W. G. A.
Nunnally, G. G.; and C. M. Pennington
acting a3 Grand Architect.
.There was a large crowd of interested
spectators assembled at the building. A
wooden arch, and a rostrum near the
corner were tastefully decorated with
flowers, and there was also a raised plat
form opposite the rostrum, and it too em
bellished with beauty, whence came
sweet music from the joint choirs of our
churches led by the tones of an organ
placed there for the purpose.
Elegant and appropriate adddresse3
were delivered by the M. W. G. M. and
the W. G. Chaplain pro tern.
Appropriate music from the Silver
Cornet Band added greatly to the interest
and pleasure of the occasion.
In the corner stone were placed the
following:

Atlanta Items.
We get the following items from the
Constitution of yesterday:
The attendance at the Fair on Thurs
day was the largest ever known at a
Fair in Georgia, twenty thousand bein
on the ground.
There were six entries in the military
contest, one company, each, from Au
gusta, Macon and Savannah, and three
from Atlanta. Three officers of the
United States Army are the judges.
The crayon drawing of Miss J. Spul-
lock, of Rome, is one of the prettiest
seen at the Fair. The artist is quite
young and evidently very talented.
T. M. & R. C. Clarke’s cash drawer
was robbed Wednesday of $200 in
greenbacks and $250 checks and drafts.
There were several hundred dollars
more of gold and greenbacks in the
same drawer the thief did not see.
Thursday a thief entered the store
house of J. Ben. Wilson and stole from
the money drawer thqpe thousand dol
lars, and successfully escaped without
detection.
The .same day a pick-pocket was
caught by Captain Alike White, of the
police force, in the act of picking the
pocket of a rustic visitor to the fair.

A Proper Award.
Messrs. W. M. Towers & Co., of our
city, had a lot of plows on exhibition
at the Atlanta State Fair, and received
premiums for the best one-horse and
the best two-horse plows exhibited.
This, too, after a thorough trial and
test of the large number of other plows
competing for the prize. These plows
are made here, and having the endorse
ment of the commtttee at the State
Fair, the manufacturers will soon have
to add to their already large manufac
turing establishment, to meet the de
mand for them that will surel> arise.
Fair Motes.
Mr. F. Pence got the premium, five
dollars, at the State Fair, for the best

Capt. Appleton expects to have bis
boat ready to run on or about the 15th

propriate name for it. What say you,
Capt. Appleton?
A. F. Moon, editor of the Bee World,
has been confined to his room for some
months past. At the last fair here he
sprained his ankle, from which he has
never recovered, and fears are enter
tained that amputation will be neces
sary to save his life.
Back from the Fair.
All who attended the Fair last week
at Atlanta, with whom we have talked,
seem well pleased with their visit. The
general expression is that, as a Fair, it
was not the biggest thing in the world,
but as a “success” it was A No. 1.
More Work ot Whisky.
We learn that a difficulty occurred
near Coosaville last Saturday night be
tween Ned Chambers, Jim McCarter

A difficulty occurred at a brick-yard
in East Rome Saturday evenine, be
tween Mr. Tom Grubb and a colored
man named King Miller. We heard
there was a misunderstanding and con
sequent angry words growing out of
the settlement of King’s week’s work in
the brick-yard. It is said, with how
much truth we do not know, that King
had threatened Grubb’s life, and that
when the difficulty came up, Grubb
discharged his pocket howitzer into the
ribs of the colored man a couple of
times, but the ribs being hard and the
pistol ball small, no fatal result ensued.

Tribute ot Respect.
Whereas, God, in his providence, has
called from our midst a sister and asso
ciate in Sabbath-sehool, Miss Clemmie
Tumley, on the loth of October, 1S77,
therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Miss
Clemmie Turnley, the Methodist Church
at Rome, Ga., has lost one of its bright
est lights. Fresh from the realms of
girlhood, just budding into womanhood,
scarce had she entered upon the border
when Death laid his unrelenting finger
upon her brow, and whispered “Come
with me.”
Resolved, That we deplore our loss,
that we mourn the untimely death
“ Of her, the dead, the doubly dead,
In that she died so young.”
And that as a school we extend oar
warmest sympathies to the relatives and
friends of her who is gone.
Afflicted parents what must we say to
you ? You who have so long known the
Savior’s love, need not be pointed to His
bleeding side for comfort. The only
light that can pierce the deep shrond of
your sorrow, emanates from the Star of
Bethlehem, whose healing beams were
her unfailing solace, even down to the
dark valley of the shadow of death.
Be comforted then, yon shall yet meet
your darling in heaven.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be fnmished the family of the de
ceased, and that copies be furnished the
Rome Tei-Weekly Courier, and the
Rome Daily Bulletin for publication.

In Memoriam.
Died, Thursday, October 18th, 1877,
between 12 and 1 o’clock, Charlie, eldest
son of J. W. and M. F. Rounsaville,
aged seven years and eight months.
These cold, sad dates tell a mournful
tale of loving hearts in the very hour of
enjoyment, being robbed of their idol,
and a house of gladness changed in one
short hour into one of lamentation. The
details of Charlie’s death are too heart
rending to relate, and more than one has
mournfully exclaimed, “ Where were the
instincts of his pony, that he was not
aware of the precions burden he bore,
nor the valne of the young life so sud
denly cast into Eternity.”
When we think of how noble, gener
ous, faithful and loving our Charlie was,
remembering the bright anticipations
which surrounded, as a halo of glory, his
future years, our weak hearts almost re
bel, and it is hard to “ kiss the rod” which
has dealt so agonizinga blow. But hark,
in the midst of our complainings,
the “still small voice” of the Comforter
tenderly whispers of the beautiful faith
and love Charlie ever manifesied for his
Creator and we can but feel that he is far
happier “in the arms of Jesos,” where
he will wait for and joyously welcome all
who knew and loved him during his short
life. He commenced school when only
six years old, and by his diligence and
kindness won the undying love of both
teachers and scholars. He loved to talk
of and praise Jesus, and never seemed
happier than when joining his little
schoolmates in the daily exercise of sing
ing and prayer. As they would sing “In
the sweet bye and bye,” and “ There’ll be
something in heaven for children to do,”
his eyes would shine with increased
brightness, and his voice rise in exultant
joy. Little did he dream as he sung only
a day or two before his death, these his
favorite hymns, that he would so soon be
called to “ learn the lessons of wisdom
and love.” His life, short as it was, i3
replete with examples of good will and
generosity, and though we deeply feel
the separation and oar hearts are almost
“breaking with this loDg farewell,” we
can but rejoice that he has lived.
For his grief-stricken parents and rela
tives there is no Lethe. Only God who
dealt the blow can heal their breaking
hearts, and we feel sure that he will not
forsake them in this hour of sore distress.
Human consolation is vain, could their
dearly-loved boy speak from his
heavenly home, we feel sure that in ten
der accents he would say:
“Weep not, papa, though I Kave 70a;
Dry each toar, repress each sigh,
We will meet and love each other
In that fadeless “ bye and bye.”
11 When at night you’re sleeping, mama,
I will hover 'round your haad,
Pleasant dreams of me shall haunt you— -
Weep not, mama, I’m not deal.
“Weepnot, auntie, though they’ve laid me
In the cold and silent grave,
Fil wait with eager heart to groot you
Near the Lamb who died to save.
"Johnnie, Fred, and little sister
Still are left to comfort yon,
Jesus wan's mo up in heaven,
There’s something here fur me t> do.

When you roach this golden shore.”

Obituary.
Sallie A. Hoss wa3 boril July 30th
1871, died Oct 17th 1877, age six years
two months and IS days. Sallie was a
bright, sweet, good child, all who knew
her loved her, she was a favorite with
these who knew her well. She was still
on the infant’s side of the line of accoun
tability, she-was not to^be a'targef for
the shafts of sin. God took her to him
self, before her sweet spirit was ever
tarnished with conscious sin. Just as
she drew her sword to battle against
the enemies of her soul,she was stricken
into victory—giorious, eternal victory.
She is now with God, for he said, “of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Ah!
father and mother, that utterance of
Jesus is the burning lamp that sheds its
peaceful beams into the lonely home,
to remind you bereaved and sorrowing
as you are of the glorious lights of re
velation which scatter the gloom of the
grave, and display the dawn of a bless
ed immortality. God intends these af
flictions and losses as only steps.in the
brightening steep to lift you nearer to
heaven.
Thirty hours after Sallie’s spirit left
the body,her little sister Willie T. Hoss
age three years and 8 months and 19
days, joined her in the bright world
above. She said just before she died
I want to go and see sister Sallie, God
granted her request. Their bodies bur
ied side by side in the Cemetery, their
sweet spirits, are gathered side by side
and together they now walk the golden
streets and wear their golden crowns.
God bless their memory.

A Neglected Liver.
The bile has a three-fold part assigned
to it by the great manager, Nature. It
assists in the digestive process, acts as a
coloring agent of the blood, and ia essen
tial to the evacnative function. When
the liver grows torpid, complete chao3 en
sues in the stomach and bowels; the bile
is injected into the circulation in large
quantities, and constipation and indiges
tion are produced.. Pains under the
right, shoulder blade and the right side,
headaches, vertigo, yellowness of the skin,
furred tongue and nausea, also follow.
But these and other symptoms of bilious
ness, and the disorders which accompany
it, are entirely removed by Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, that benign rectifier of
organic disturbance and remedy for phy
sical weakness. Intermittent and remit
tent fever, urinary and uterine troubles,
rheumatism, gout, and other maladies,
also yield to the remedial influence of
the great corrective and invigorant. It
is the people s chosen remedy.
L ght, Well-Raised Biscuits. Bread,
Cakes and pastry digest easily and con
duce to good health. Good health makes
labor of all kinds easier, and prolongs
life. Dooleys Yeast Powder will always
make all these productions light and
wholesome. It is warranted to make
better, lighter, sweeter, more toothsome,
and nutritious biscuits, cake, bread, etc.,
than any other baking powder.

to the contrary, are considered wishing to con
tinue their subscription
2. It subscribers order she discontinuance of
their periodicals, the publishers may continue
to send them nntil all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse try take
their periodicals from thp office to which they*
are directed, they are held responsible until they
have sett! id their bills and ordered ihem dis

4. If subscribers move to other places without
notifying publishers; and the papers are sent to
the former direction; they are held responsible:
5: The courts have decided that ifreiusing to
take periodicals from the office; or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is prima facia evi
dence of intentional fraud.”
