fayorable. The creditors of the State
of Tennessee have, in a liberal spirit,- of
fered to compromise on tbe basis or fifty
cents on the. dollar. Tbe creditors
other States have offered terms equally
liberal. Those who bold the bonds of
the city of Memphis, a city of yast
wealth and importance, have offered to
settle on a basis of mnch less than fifty
cen’B in the dollar. The General Assem
bly of Georgia has enacted a law that
authorizes the settlement of our inbebt-
edness. This law was enacted upon the
joint request of both debtor and creditor,
aud the very terms thereof were agreed
to by the persons who represented both
sides. Tbe power to compromise this in
debtness is amply conferred by law.
Many of the holders of the bonds of onr
city have compromised. It is believed
that much more than half in amount
have done so. Ho just reason is perceived
why adiatinction should be made between
he holders of these securities, and we
earnestly hope that all who have not
heretofore compromised will.inafairand
liberal spirit, come forward and settle
this whole matter and remove every
cause of difference that exists. It is re
spectfully submitted that, if a compro
mise is made, all will feel bound, by tbe
most powerful considerations, to provide
for and pay the new bonds and the ac
cruing interest Peace and unity will
be restored among our citizens. Our
people will feel that the debt upon them
can be borne and paid without ruin, and
that the iocubus which has hung over our
little city will be removed. Hew hope
and renovated energy willl spring up in
the hearts of our people. We will then,
with steady steps, march forward to the
attainment of that position to which our
locality and surroundings entitle us.
In behalf of the newly elected Mayor
and Council, of the city of Rome, I offer
most gratefjl acknowledgements to our
fellow-citizens for the honor done us, and
ask a continuation of that liberal confid
ence manifested in our recent election.
We shall endeavor to devote our best en-

John W. Dodd, who, several years
ago, owned a fine farm on the Coosa

af erward sold out his farm and bought
the Southerner and edited and pub

married a banker's daughter in Roch

there to Washington City; there he wa.-
lost sight of by his friends here, and
had not been heard of for several years
until a few days ago, when a citizen
received a letter from him. His pres
ent address is Winchester Hotel, Broid-

We hope he is prosperous.

Docket Lost
The docket of Justice’s Court for
949th District, G. M., was lost on Tnes
day, the 8th inst., on the road, probably
between Dry Creek and Jones’ mill, bui
possibly between Dry Creek and Rome.
The .finder will confer a great favor by
leaving the book at Capt. Bale’s store in
Rome, or by giving me information.
The above named gentleman is now
at the Choice Hotel, where he will re
main only through the present week.
He has flattering certificates of skill
and ability from such men as Governor
Colquitt, Gen. Gordon, I. W. Avery, H.
L. Angier and scores of others. The
great mistake that most people make
in buying spectacles is, they get those
that are not suited to their eyes. Dr.
Fox examines the eyes and furnishes
glasses that are exactly suited, and
then the glasses themselves are of the
best quality. See advertisement.
Homicide iu Cherokee County, Ala,
We learn that a fearful affair took
place some eight miles from Centre, on
Terrapin Creek, on Saturday, the 5th
inst The parties engaged were Thomp
son and McWhorter on one side and
Firestone and his son on the other. The
difficulty originated in an effort to drive
Thompson from some Government
land that he had improved but had not
entered. Firestone had entered the
land and was attempting to drive
Thompson off. The difficulty occurred
at Firestone’s house. Thompson and
McWhorter killed young Firestone and
severely wounded his father.

offered in this market. Mr. R. S.
Norton is one of the very oldest mer
chants in this city, and has never been
known to attempt a deceptive trick on
ihe public. He now proposes to retire
f rom business and it becomes necessary
to close out the stock of goods on hand.
They will do exactly what they pro
pose. See advertisement.

Enterprise—Pluck.
Few men of this day have exhibited
as much cluck and enterprise in busi
ness as Dr. Tutt, of Hew York, the pro
prietor of Tutt’s Liver Pills. In a few
years he has bnilt np a business of vast
proportions and made his name a house
hold word all over the land. Adver
tising agents say that he has paid the
press this year over one hundred thou
sand dollars, and that the demand for
his medicines is enormous, 'both in
foreign countries and at home. The
Hew York papera report the shipment
from that port in one day of a “ton of
Tutt’s Pills.” Think of it; two thou
sand pounds of pills! From this great
success cur merchants and manufac
turers may learn a useful lesson. If
they have an article of true' merit—no
humbug—let everybody know it
through the medium o’f printer’s ink;
and success is sure. It is true, it re
quires pluck, but “none but tbe brave
deserve the firir.” More.Dr. Tutts, and
