Now I.end a Hand in Pushing the 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. noble’bro’s & co. 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.

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. one of th/most.talented young artists in the south. His career as a designer and engraver is unprecedented in the history' ofthe country. He commenc ed at an early age to' form an attach 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 Son’s prices are'low and this will af ford many an opportunity of purchas ’ '»g. See advertisement. JOHN J. SEAY & CO. ROME STOVE AND HOLLOW WARE Works. Rome is noted for her many industries but there is none within her boders of which she is more proud than the Rome Stove and Hollow Ware Works.

Mr. Douglas is one of the self-made men of Rome, and he is deserving of great merit. He began his career as poor boy, butlhinking it honorable to 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.
