All who know anything about Rome
and her surroundings know she possesses
more natural ad vantages for a large flour
ishing manufacturing and mercantile city
than any place South.
1. She possesses all the natural ele
ments oi health, wealth and permanent
prosperity. All admit this.
2. The climate and water are unsur
passed.
3. Her mountains and valleys are all
rich and fertile and full of minerals of
various kinds, and of thefinestand purest
qualities.
4. The cotton raised in this section
always brings a better price than cotton
raised elsewhere. Spinners prefer it on
account of its excellent fiber. This is a
very important feature and advantage to
farmers.
5. There is more and better water pow
er for mills and manufacturing purposes
than any place South.
G. The wheat raised iu this section
makes better flour thau the wheat grown
in Tennessee or the West.
7. Cereals of all kinds are grown here
to perfection, when the seasons are not
favorable to some they are to others.
Farmers by raising mixed crops never
make a total failure, as farmers do a hun
dred miles South cr North. This an ad
vantage no other section enjoys.
S. This is admitted to the best grass
and clover country North or South, con
sequently the best stock country, if our
farmers would but turn their attention
to it.
9. Railroad facilities are good, and will
bo greatly improved.
10. Rome is at the htau of steamboat
navigation on the Coosa, which is now
navigable ono hundred aad eight-five
miles through a country rich ia minerals
and soil, and navigation will be extended
to Mobile. The Government is at work
on the river removing the obstructions.
11. Rome is at the junction of the
Oostanaula and Etowah Rivers, the form
er has been made navigable by the Gov
ernment to Carter’s Landing, in Murray
county, one hundred and five miles by
water, and has been navigated successful
ly, ami another steamer will soon be put
upon the river. An appropriation was
made by the last Congress to clear out
the obstructions in the latter, which will
no doubt be done next summer, this will
open water communication up to Lump
kin county—one hundred and eighty
miles—through a rich farming and gold
region.
12. Lumber suitable for building and
manufacturing purposes is abundant.
13. Society’ is good—the is county set
tled up with good and law-abiding citi
zens.
14. Churches, schools and colleges are
convenient and accessible, and other ad
vantages could be mentioned. Nature
has done her duty ia laying a permanent
foundation for a city that cannot he af
fected or destroyed by the change of
railroads or fluctuations of trade. She
is not dependent upon any one thing to
sustain her. Will not the citizens unite
in building upon the foundation?
The fertile lands, the minerals, rivers i
Ac., are permanent, and cannot bs trans
ferred by votes or conventions, they are
Rome’s wealth and her legacy ; and it is
inalienable.
FROM TUESDAY’S TRI-WEEKLY.
The Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce met last
Monday night. Their ever-faithful
President and Secretary were at their
posts of duty, and it may be added, of
pleasure. Several important matters
were introduced, discussed and put in
ship-shape to be worked up, which will
result in great good to the city and the
country generally. The Chamber is
the great lever-power in the accomplish
ment of all important enterprises both
local and national. It has no private
axes to grind, and sufi'trs none to be
ground except the city ax and the one
belonging to the surrounding country.
Therefore all should be its friend, and
some turn while the others are holding
those two axes to the stone.
The 830,000 appropriated by the last
Congress, so judiciously expended in
removing the obstructions out of the
Coosa the past summer and fall by
Licm Marshall, was secured only by
the timely memorial of the Chamber.
So says Dr. W. H. Felton, our able Rep
resentative in Congress. We need an
other appropriation to complete the
work, and now is the time to move in the
matter, and it should be done by and
through the Chamber, and ’.ve hope for
its prompt action in this matter. Or
ganized we succeed, as individals we
fail. Therefore let us all unite, loster
and build up the Chamber. All should
become members and attend its meet
ings. The annual dues are only SI.
The secretary, Henry A. Hills, tenders
a nice, convenient and comfortable
room, and furnishes seats, gas-light and
fire. Come, and help in this good work.
The worthy President, H. Harpold,
who is, comparatively speaking, a
stranger among us, is laboring manful
ly to build up our city and develope
the vast resources of our country and
open out rivers. There are a few oth
er citizens doing their part, but there
are many others who are interested and
are well-wishers, but they do not say
anything to help those who are working
for the public good. Those who do
not wish to become members and par
ticipate in it? meetings, are invited to
attend and see and hear what is said
and done. This will encourage the
President and members.
All classes, from the hoot-black up,
have been benefitted by the labors of
the Chamber of Commerce. The $30,-
000 expended in our midst would not
have been done had it not been for the
Chamber. Thanks are hereby tender
ed to the Chamber, first: to Dr. FeltoD,
second; to Congress, third; and to Lieut.
Marshall fourth, for the judicious ex
penditure of the money.

ing some more mineral beds and or

liciting funds to build a Baptist church

learn succeeded finely. We hope he
will succeed in raising enough to build
a good church.
The last legislature restricted the num
ber of inspectors of fertilizers to six in
the State. Five have already been ap
pointed, four below Atlanta and one in
Atlanta. We claim that th3 other should
be in Rome, as there is a manufactory of
fertilizers here.

AYc hope that this canvass will be con
ducted in such a wav is not to engender
any strife or ill feelings on the part of any
of the candidates or their friends. Let
peace harmony and good will prevail.
Leave off hard names and sayings, it is
much the best in the end.
We are pleased to learn that a very
valuable slate quarry has been discov
ered on Joel C. Baker’s land, some six
and a half miles from the city. The
fact of the business is, this whole sec
tion is full of minerals of all kinds,
from pottery clay up to and including
the finest of gold. And in addition to
that, our soil is rich and fertile, and
produces ails kinds of cereals, clover,
grasses, etc., which makes it. a fine
stock country.
The hour spent last Friday night at
tbs young folks’ entertainment at the
City Hall was enjoyed by ail. The cal
isthenics, “Postures” and “Emotions”
were notably good, as indeed was the
whole entertainment, which reflected
credit upon the ladies who originated
the affair. But when such ladies put
their wits and will together you may
rely on something good as the result.
There seems to bo a unanimous desire
on the part of the citizens that the en
tertainment be rtpeated sometime du
ring the Christmas holidays, and that
the admission fee be fifty cents, and the
matinee twenty-five cents. What say
you, ladie3 ?
Bargains in dry goods and clothing at

The rates of freight on the Selma,
Rome and Dalton Railroad has been
against Rome and in favor of Selma to
such au extent the farmers along the
line of the road were hauling their cot
ton to the river and shipping it to
Rome by the boats. The attention of
tho Chamber of Commerce was called
to it, and they promptly directed their
President to look after this unjust dis
crimination against Rome. He
did so, and in a few days succeeded
in getting the freights reduced so as to
put Rome upon equal footing with
Selma, which arrangement went into
effect j-esterday morning. Thus, you
see, the good results accomplished by
tho Chamber of Commerce.

We have received the tnird number

W. Barber, it is a good paper.
The ladies of the Memorial Associa
tion, who so successfully conducted the
series of entertainments last week, for
the purpose of raising money to build
the soldiers’ monument, are somewhat
at a loss to know where to hegin or
where to stop in making a list of the
large number of ladies and gentlemen
to whom their thanks are due for time
ly assistance and valuable contribu
tions ; nevertheless, they have ventur
ed to hand us the following names,
which we willingly publish: Young
Men’s Christian Association, the Ccrnet
Band, Mr. Warlick, Prof. Sheffield and
Prof. Flentje, Mrs. Hawkins and Miss
Sallie Black for their efforts to get con

Died.
In this city, on the morning of the
18th inst., about 3 o’clock, Miss I/zzie
Shropshire, daughter of Hon. Frank C.
Shropshire, deceased, and grand-daugh
ter Hon. A. R. Wright, aged about
twenty years.
The deceased was a young lady of
culture and refinement, and of lovely
disposition. On last Wednesday she
was apparently in full enjoyment of
health and in the bloom of youth.
Her sudden death deeply affected all
her friends and acquaintances, as well
as those of her relatives, which fact was
fully attested by the faces of the throng
that attended her funeral yesterday
evening. The house was so crowded
that many who desired to could not
find room inside.
. The Water W orl£3.
Yesterday we walked around to the
Water Works engine house, and found
the faithful and efficient engineer, Mr.
Junius George, at his post. The engine
was in perfect order, and in the expres
sive language of Mr. James Noble Sr.,
is still a “smasher,” with every revolu
tion of the ponderous wheel marked up
on the indicator. Mr. George has, in
addition to his regular work as engi
neer, finished up the observatory,
which is painted white inside so that
the light from above is thrown down in
to the well, and the “water we drink”
can be seen in its freshness there ready
to be drawn up and forced into the res
ervoir, for distribution throughout the
city.

Obstructing Nature,
Instead of aiding her in her efforts to rc-
cupera’e, is obviously not the way to get
well when one is sick. Yet this is pre
cisely the course pursued—of course un
wittingly—by persons who are continual
ly doing themselves with powerful min
eral drugs for soma malady with which
they are afflicted. Such baneful medica
ments rather tend to retard recovery than
to hasten it. How much more sensible
are they who employ the gently acting
but thoroughly efficient restorative, Hos-
tetter’s Stomach Bitters, which, unlike
the drugs referred to, is eminently whole
some and safe ; and, instead of injuring
improves the tone of the stomach and re
creates health and vigor in the broken
down system. Indigestion, liver com
plaint, constipation, kidney and bladder
ailments, and rheumatism, yield to its
corrective influence, and it is the remedy
and preventive par excellence for inter
mittent and remittent fevers and other
disorders bred by miasma tainted air and
water. It is, moreover, a snperb appe
tizer.

ROMEFEUALE COLLEGE.
T he scholastic year will begin
* first Monday in September, with an ade
quate corps of experienced teachers.
An Academy of Music will be opened
at that time. If will be designed for
the benefit of ladies who desire prep
arations for teaching or Instructions
superior to those they can secure in the ordinary
schools of the country. They can obtain board
ing in the college or with Prof Hints, who will
be its director. Under his instruction the pu
pils in the college classes will enjoy musical
advantages which cannot be surpassed at any
place in this country, North or 8onth.
The Art Department, with Miss Fairchild at
its head, will continue to merit the attention and
commendation it has received. Free band draw
ing, recently introduced *nd taught to the whole
school with wonderful success, will be continued
as a regular exercise for onr pupils.
Much earnest attention is given to writing
and compositions.
Tho institution, though founded by the synod
of Georgia, has not been under ecclesiastical
control for fourteen years. At all times and un
der all circumstances its management has been
indicated and directed by Christian principles;
and yet it never was, it ia not now, and It cannot
be sectarian.
The purpose of those who are identified with
its life and usefulness is to maintain its high
character a* an educational home, whereby the
wisest methods of instruction ana discipline,
the most hsalthful and parmanently advanta
geous results, may be produced.
