Grand Caravan of Progress
Forward,
By Extending a Kindly, Cordial
Welcome to All Comers;.
The flourishing city of Home is sit
uated in tlic most delightful portion
of the South, :i a high mountainious
country, at the junction of the Oosta
naula and Etowah rivers, which flow
ing together forms ic .Coosa. one of
the pretties streams n the South—all
of w hich are navigated by steamers,
some of which trav several hundred
miles into the interior mid bring into
the city the rich trade , rom one of the
best agricultural sections of the South.
Rome also enjoys railroad connection
with Kingston'. Atlanta and points
East and South, with Selma, Ala.,
and points South, also with Chatta
nooga, Tenn. A railroad is being
built by a second line from Home to
Chattanooga, penetrating and opening
up another rich section of country,
thus giving it through railroad con
nection with the North, East and
West by three lines. In addition
to this there has been a road
4 ftrmi • -Home- to -Deetrtnr, ! <
called the Memphis branch, which
will doubtless be built at an early
date. The Georgia Western, which
is contemplated-, will also open up a
splendid section of country to Home—
all of which promises a bright future
for this growing city.
THE COTTON BUSINESS.
Koine annually receives ninety thou
sand bales of cotton, which is rapidly
increasing and which keeps two com
presses busy and offers employment to
hundreds of people, lending to the city
during the business season an air of
business activity. The merchants here
are prosperous and have cultivated
good business integrity, for which the
people are nqted. Property is rapidly
increasing in value, and an empty
store or dwelling is difficult to find.
The climate is mild, bcin<£ peculiarly
exempt from the opprcs.tfve heat of
summer or tlic extreme cold of wi fi
fe r. The thermometer rarely ever
reaches 90 deg. or falls below the
freezing point. During the middle of
summer the temperature is so delight
ful that a person can feleep under cov
ering nearly the entire summer. Dur
ing the past winter the flowershave
continually blossomed. The mortal
ity here is very light, not averaging
with any other city in the South. In
the city of Home we have excellent
educational facilities; among which
arc the
ROME FEMALE COLLEGE AND THE SHOR
TER FEMALE COLLEGE,
The finest edifice devoted to education
al purposes in the South. It was
built by the kjnd-hearicd munificence
of Col. Alfred Shorter, one of Home’s
wealthiest and most public-spirited
citizens. It adorns one of the highest
points in the city and will ever stand
as a monument to perpetuate the mem
ory of the generous donor who gave it
Io Georgia’s daughters. Home enjoys
Ihe best system of water works in the
South. It receives its supply of water
from a subterranean stream which is
•as clear as crystal and is inexhaustible,
making thirst a stranger and lire a
weak foe.
THE MASONIC TEMPLE,
built by the Masons is one of the finest
and most substantial buildings in the
citv and is probably the finest struc
ture owned by Masons in the South.
Home has also, gas works, all the dif
ferent benevolent organizations, and
many secret societies and orders.
Rome is noted for its beautiful streets,
Sts palatial residences and an
OPERA HOUSE
which is now being erected, will not
be surpassed in size and elegance by
any similar structure in the South.
Work is now progressing rapidly on
the opera house and will l>e completed
on the first of September, at a cost of
twentv-five thousand dollars. It is
built specially for theatrical purposes
and has a seating capacity of 800. It
has a parquet dress circle, gallery,
procenium boxes, and is furnished
with elegant folding opera chairs of
the most improved style. _ The con
tract for frescoing and painting has
been awarded to the talenttd yoitit*
artists,
MESRSS. SHERIDAN 4 MCGRIFF,
ivho wilUpommcnce work immediate
ly. These gentlemen, possessing a
great deal of public spirit and good
will toward Home, have signified their
determination to us to do the finest
job of work on the Nevin Opera
House that is in the South. We pre
dict that when the job is finished the
opera house will be a model of beau
ty, and its grandeur and magnficcnce
will reflect credit on the artists who
have the painting contract.
Rome’s society.
The Society ot Lome is good, the
people are hospitable and kind to
strangers, and welcome, with warm
hearts and open hands all
who come among them to
live regardless of their
political or religious proclivities. Here
churches abound and every man can
worship God according to the dictates
of his conscience. From i (.‘position.
Home is obliged to become a large
city. Water power, minerals and tim
bers abound in inexhaustible quanti
ties, coal is at our doors, and in the
near future when manufactories shall
be started, and our splendid water
powers, minerals and timbers are util
ized by the hand of man, Home will
arise with a giants strength and go
forward to renewed grandeur and
greatness.
home’s ATTRACTIONS.
Those who arc in quest of pleasure
will here find the most attractive sce
nery to be found in the South, the dis
tant and undulating mountain, rivers
and plains, furnishing and ornament
ing a landscape -which is not excelled
in any part of the globe. Fishing and
hunting is good and the people in gen
eral take a delight in welcoming all
who desire to spend the summer for
health or pleasure or who come among
us to educate their children at our
colleges, which are not surpassed any
where in the South. As a place to
invest, Home possesses many induce
ments, as the value of property is rap
idly and surely advancing as the city
spreads its borders.
HOME WELCOMES YOU.
Therefore, to the immigrants, seek
ing for a genial climate, the manufac
turer, for a base of operations—in fact,
to all good citizens who wish to locate
and aid us to go forward to renewed
prosperity, we say come. Agricultur
alists will also here find the best land
in the world, already cleared and
ready for the seed, which they can se
cure from one to twenty dollars per
acre. Good markets are of easy ac
cess by rail, and the farmer, the apia
rist, the shepherd or vine grower, can
always find ready sale for all they can
produce. As a manufacturing centre,
Rome is destined, at an early date,-to
take a stajid as it geographically is
ihfi gate way to a large and product
five agricultural country.
THE MANUFACTURING AND BUSINESS
INTERESTS.
To-day we make note of the principle
business houses and manufacturing
establishments of Rome. The names
mentioned arc men of pluck and ener
gy and are Ihe principle leaders in ev
ery enterprise to promote the prosperi
fy of Rome. We ask your perusal of
the notices as it will give you an in
sight into the business of our flourish
ing city. Visitors who contemplate
purchasing goods’ in the city arc re
quested to ’give the firms mentioned
below a fair trial and you will find
that they will deal justly with you.
E. C. HOUGH.
MERCHNT TAILOR.
One of best tailors that ever run
his scissors through a piece ot' goods
isthe gentleman whose name heads
this article. Mr. Hough is favor
bly known to this community as a
skillful artisan and a thorough and
polished gentleman. His success as a
tailor is parable by but few, and his
customers are ready, when an occa
sion presents itself, to assert his merits.
ms. STOCK
with thebestand finest goods
in the market, consisting in part of
English worsteds, doeskins, broad
cloths, cassimeres, etc., etc., and were
selected with the greatest care. Be
lieving in the maxim that “the best is
cheapest,” Mr. Hough keeps in stock
only the best of goods, never allowing
a common piece or a poor workman
to be identified with his name. His
workmen are all artist in their line,
and their work gives perfect satisfac
tion to all. If there is one thing more
than another, that a gentleman prides
himself on, it is the
PERFECT FIT
of his suit of clothes. He may not be
able to have more than one, neverthe
less; he -wants that one to fit. To say
that Mr. Hough, in the general ac
ceptation of the term, gives a perfect
fit, would be but mildly expressing it.;
A poor fit has never been connected (
with his name. His success as a tailor
has become so widely known that he
recievcs orders from all over the
country. When a young man wears
a suit from Hough’s establishment,
he is not slow to express it, but on the
contrary rather prides himself on it.
One would suppose that a man with
the reputation of Mr. Hough would
be exorbitant in his prices, but hav
ing that liberality of soul which ad
mits of no exorbitant prices, he docs
his work and sells his goods
AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE FIGURES.
And these prices arc not what are
charged in ordinary first class mer
chant tailor establishments, but are
about what are charged in the cloth
ing stores for inferior goods. The
perfect tit which he gives make many
come to him from Atlanta, Selma and
intermediate points to have their all
important wedding suits made. Mr.
Hough keeps well posted on all the
latest styles ; and as he makes all his
goods to order, his customers get new
stock and latest styles. As a specimen
of his handi-work cast your eyes fora
moment upon the elaborate and tasty
UNIEORMS OF THE ROME LIGHT GUARDS,
which, to say the least of it, does not
do him justice, as many of them were
made for different members of the
company. However, those he did
make to order are but a reflection of
his skill and engenuity as a
tailor. The men look as if they were
I melted and poured into them. We
would also call attention to his stock
of Gents’ Furnishing Goods, consist
ing of shirts, collars, drawers, hand
ker-ehiefs, half-hose, ties, gloves, etc.,
Mr. Hough is agent inßomefor the
CELEBRATED STAR SHIRT FOR SI.OO
which is said to have no equal, for the
price, in America. We will further
say of Mr. Hough that he is not only
a skillful workman, but is’ a pleasant
affable gentleman, and one who has
the esteem of the entire community.
He is one of our thorough-going, in
dustrious and substantial citizens, and
we are gratified to note the fact that
heisdoinga lucrative business. He
has also had more years of experience
with Sewing Machines than any man
in the State. Having been agent for
one of the oldest companies for sev
eral years, but giving it up when he
found something which he considers
far superior; and we advise all in
want of a sewing machine to call on
him before buying of any one else.

FOUNDRY AND MACAINE SHOP,.
If Rome possessed no other manu
factory but the one mentioned above,
she could'justl v be considered a manu
facturing town. The great clouds of
smoke that rise from Rome’s manu
factories is increased in volume by No
ble's Foundry. This is tut enterprise
of which Rome is justly proud for the
work they are turning out is
becoming known and sought for all
over the country. The firm is now
working about
ONE HUNDRED HANDS,
and are turning out some of the best
car wheels and axles that are made in
the United States. They also manu
facture portable and stationary engines
of the best pattern, and arc now mak
ing one of the best portable engines for
farm use ever The
foundry is one of the large industries
of Rome and covers four acres of
ground. In the car wheel department
THEY USE TEN TONS OF IRON PER DAY,
turning out on an average of forty
eight wheels. The wheels and axles
are becoming justly celebrated and
they are being usediby various rail
roads over the United States. The
works are under the management of
Messrs. John and. Win. Noble, both
gentlemen of industry and enterprise,
who would make a success of anything
they undertook. Visitors in the city
will be more than repaid by a trip
through this mammoth establishment
and if anyone contemplates buying
boilers or machinery of any kind they
cannot get better than that made by
Noble Bro’s & Co.
COHEN* CO.
TEMPLE OF FASHION.
This is one of the solid business
houses of Rome. Although they have
been located in our midst but a few
months, they have, by their gentle
manly conduct and fair and honest
dealing, worked up a trade equal to
any in the city. Their store is literal
ly a Temple of Fashion, and their
trade embraces all classes, from the
humble peasant to the
ELITE OF THE CITY.
Their stock is ope of the largest and
best to be found in this or any other
market, keeping in stock everything
to meet the demands of their numer
ous customers. The store is situated
in one of the eleganj rooms under the
Nevin Opera House, and presents an
appearance of taste and refinement.
It is visited by' everybody in Rome
and Floyd cDunty; and the tide of
custom that is the Tem
ple of Fashion is to be attributed to
their
EXCEEDINGLY LOW PRICES.
The best of goods, low prices and
fair dealing, will undoubtedly' attract
customers, and Messrs. Cohen & Co.,
pride themselves on these three lead
ing characteristics. Parties buying of
this firm know they' are buying only
the best of goods, and are dealing
with gentlemen—a thing that is al
ways pleasant to the customer. In
their stock will be found every con
ceivable article of
STAPLE AND FANCY DRY GOODS,
from a bolt of sheeting to a bunch of
hair-pins. One of the great reasons
why' Messrs. Cohen & Co., arc enabled
to sell their good so low, is that they
have one of the shrewdest buyers that
ever shipped from a Northern market,
and their motto is “quick sales and
small profits.” Their fine of Gents’
Furnishing Goods is equal to many
first class clothing houses that sell
these goods exclusively. We would
call especial attention to their
IMMENSE STOCK OF CLOTHING
: for men, boys and children. This de-
I partment is one of the special feat ures
of their business, and is visited by
nearly every' gentleman in Rome.
The clothing department embraces a
fine line of gentlemen’s underwear of
the best grades—shirt, collars,drawers,
neck-ties, etc., etc. Their stock of
hats is also very large and includes
some of the latest novelties in felt
and straw. A word in conclusion for
THE FIRM.
This is the first business year of this
firm. They opened last fall in our
midst total strangers to the trade,
but true merit will come to the sur
face. They' put on the market first
class goods and marked them down
to one price only. This price every
body' said was low ; and as the gen
tlemen composing the firm of Cohen &
Co., were honest, strightforward and
trustworthy, they soon built up an ex
cellent trade. They sell now to cus
tomers scattered over a large area of
territory; and we predict that they
will continue on the road to prosperity
until their trade is equal to any retail
house in Georgia.
~VEAL AND SON,
jewelers.
This is one of the oldest cstablish
ments in I he ci tv.having been establish
ed by Mr. J. E. Veal, Sr., in 1858. Mr.
Veal is a gentleman of mature experi
ence in the Jewelry business and knows
how to satisfy the wants of his numer
ous customers. His store is a model
of neatness and his stock is large and
elegant. It consists in part of Gold
and Silver Watches, Rings, Ladies Sets
■and
EVERY CONCEIVABLE KIND OF SILVER
WARE,
for table and ornamental use. Mr. J.
E. Veal Sr., is one of the best jewelers
in the country and his stock is select
ed with as much taste as any in the
state. Among this stock is some of
the richest designs to be found bn any
part of the globe, and arc of the best
materials. Their stock of
DIAMONDS
• is unsurpassed and their show cases
glitter with a brilliancy that is equal
to the noon-day sun. Lovers of the
. beautiful cannot fail to be here pleas
ed, as every variety and style of jewel
ry is on exhibition. Included in the
stock is The best selection of fishing
tackle to be found in the country, from
the smallest fly hook to immense
seines.

is second to none in the state. Every
thing in the shape of watches, jewelry
or canes Js mended by Messrs. Veal
and Son with the utmost dispatch and
every' article repaired by them is guar
anted. This firm does some of the
most elaborate engraving we have
ever seen, and every job of this descrip
tion which they turn out is admired by
all. This department is under the
control of
M*. JOSEPH E. VEAL .111.

and engraver is unprecedented in the
history' ofthe country. He commenc

ment for the business, and with un
ceasing energy, backed by a consider
able amount of talent, he has mounted
the ladder of fame and has reached the
top round'in his profressio.it.
HIS DESIGNS ARE ELABORATE AMD TASTY,
. and at once attract the admiration of
the beholder. Visitors to the encamp
ment will be fully repaid by visiting
their store at No. 27 Broad street,
where specimens of Mr. Joe Veal’s
hand-i-work may be seen. We will
further more say that Messrs Veal and

ROME STOVE AND HOLLOW WARE

Rome is noted for her many industries
but there is none within her boders of

an acceded fact that Dr. Yeiser’s Soda

citizens within her borders.
JAMES DOUGLASS & CO.
LIVERY A SALE STABLE.
Mr. Douglas is one of the self-made
men of Rome, and he is deserving of
great merit. He began his career as

work he knuckled down to it for a
number of years, ever striving and
ever saving, adding now a few dimes
and then a dollar or two until he
had saved a sum sufficient to set him
self upin business. At this juncture
he met with many obstacles in his
career that threw a damper over his
prospects, and would have been suffi
cient to have made an ordinary' young
man give up in despair, but with an
indomitable will and unceasing ener
gy, he never ceased to strive against
what many would call blind fate,
suffioring every' privation to help him
on the road to success until he has
reached the summit, and is now the
proprietor of one of the
BEST LIVERY STABLES IN THE STATE.
It is situated in the centre of the city
and is replete with fine stock and ele

ple of Rome, who take frequent rides
with them. Mr. Douglass is a thor
