ROME RADIANT With the Rosy Flush of Health, Wealth, and a Pros perous Future. Our “Mountain City” the Coining Railroad Center. Cotton Mart, And Couuuercial Metropolis of North Georgia and the South. A Review of our Flourishing and Modern City of “The Seven Hills;” Her Charming Location. Bril liant Business Future, Bra ving and Invigorating Climate. Her Seats of Learning, Numer ous Churches, Masonic Tem ple and Opera House Her Delightful Society, Genial Hos pitality, and Her Diversified Manufacturing Indus tries and Commercial Interests. Now Lend a Hand in Pushing the Grand Caravail of Progress Forward, Ry Extending a Kindly, Cordial Welcome to All Comers. The flourishing city of Romo is sit uated in tlie most delightful portion of the South, in a high mountainious country, at the junction of the Oosta naulaand Etowah rivers, which flow ing together forms the Coosa, one of the pretties’streams in the South—all of which arc navigated by steamers, some of which travel several hundred miles into the interior and bring into the city the rich trade from 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 Rome 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 commenced from Rome to Decatur, 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 Rome — all of which promises a bright future for this growing city. THE COTTON BUSINESS. Rome 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 noted. Property is rapidly increasing in value, and an empty store or dwelling is difficult to find. The climate is mild, being peculiarly exempt from the oppressive heat of . summer or the extreme eold of win ter. The thermometer rarely over reaches 90 deg. or falls below the freezing point. During the middle of summer the temperature is so delight ful that a person can sleep under cov ering nearly the entire summer. Dur ing the past winter the flowers have -mlinually blossomed. The mortal ly f 8 ver y light, not averaging with any other city in tho South. Tn the city of iv» mc \vc have excellent educational facilities; among which are the ROME FEMALE COLLEGE AND the SHOR TER FEMALE COLLEGE, The finest edifice devoted to education al purposes in the South. It was built bv the kind-hearted munificence of Col. Alfred Shorter, one of Rome’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 to Georgians daughters. Rome enjoys the best system of water ■works in the South. It receives its supply of water from a subterranean stream which is as dear as crystal and is inexhaustible, making thirst a stranger and fire a weak foe. THE MASONIC TEMPLE, built by the Masons is one of the finest and most substantial buildings in the city and is probably the finest struc ture owned by Masons in the South. Rome has also, gas works, all the dif ferent benevolent organizations, and many secret societies and orders. Rome is noted for its beautiful streets, its 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 be completed on the first of September, at a cost of twentv-five thousand dollars. It is built specially for theatrical purposes and has n seating capacity of 800. It Jias a parquet dress circle, gallery, proccnium boxes, and is furnished with elegant folding opera chairs of the most improved style. 'I he con tract for frescoing and painting has been awarded to the talented young artists, MEBRSS, SHERIDAN & MCGRIFF, ■who will commence work immediate ly. These gentlemen, possessing a great deal of public spirit and good will toward Rome,have signified their • determination to us to do the finest job of work on the Nevin Operw House that is in Ihe South. We pre dict that when the job is finished the opera house will be a model of beau ty. and its grandeur and magnificence , will reflect credit on the artists-who have the painting contract. Rome’s society. The bociety of Home is good, the people are hospitable and kind to I 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 i (position. Rome 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, Rome will arise with a giants strength and go forward to renewed grandeur and greatness. home’s attractions. Those who are 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. Fishingand hunting is good and the people in gen eral fake 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, Rome possesses many induce ments, as tho value of property is rap idly and surely advancing as tho city spreads its borders. ROME 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 1 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 al ways find ready- sale for all they can produce. As a manufacturing centre, Rome is destined, at an early dale, to take a stand as it geographically is the 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 establish incuts of Rome. The names moftioned are men of pluck and ener gy and are the principle leaders in ev ery enterprise to promote the prosperi ty of Rome. We aslßour perusal of the notices as it will give yon 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 ! bclWy a fair trial and yon will find thaWliey will deal justly with you. E. C. HOUGH. MERCIINT TAILOR. One of best tailors that ever run 1 his scissors through a piece oGgoods . is the gentleman whose name heads this article. Mr. Hough is favor -1 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 . is replete 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. Bc . 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 I to be identified with his hame. His i workmen arc 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. lie may not be able to have more than one, ncvcrlhe ’ less, he wants that one to fit. To say J that Mr. Hough, in U>e general ac-, ’ captation of the term, gives a perfect 1 fit, would be but mildly expressing it. ■, ! A poor lit has never been connected | 1 with his name. His success as a tailor ’ has become so widely- known that he 1 reefoves orders from all over the 5 country. When a young man wears ; a suit from Hough’s establishment, 1 ‘ he is not slow to express it, but on the contrary rather prides himself on it. ’ One would suppose that a man with 1 the reputation of Mr. Hough would be exorbitant in his prices, but hav ing that liberality of soul which ad- I mits of no exorbitant prices, he does • his work and sells his goods AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE FIGURES. ■ And these prices are not what arc ’ 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 fit 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 lateststy les. As a specimen ; of his handi-work cast your eyes for a . moment upon the elaborate and tasty UNIFORMS 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 cngenulty as a tailor. The men look as if they were 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-chiefs, half-hose, ties, gloves, etc., Mr. Hough is agent in Rome for 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 theesteem of the entire community, lie is one of our thorough-going, in dustrious and substantial citizens, and we arc gratified to note, the fact that heisdoinga lucrative business.. He has also had more years of experience with Sewing Machines (han 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 sowing machine to call on .him before buying of any oSe else. . NOBLE*BRo’s & c 6. FOUNDRY AND MACAINE SHOP. If Rome possessed no other manu factory but the one mentioned above, she could justly 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 an enterprise of which Rome is justly proud for the work they are turning out is becoming known and sought for all over the country. Tho firm is now working about ONE HUNDRED HANDS, and are turning out some of tlib best car wheels and \ixles that are made in the United States. They also manu facture port able and st a t ion.ary engines of the. best pattern, and are now mak ing one of the best portable engines for farm use over manufactured. The foundry is one of the large indftsf ries 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 ipdes are becoming justly celebrated and they are being used by various rail roads over the United States. The works are under the management of •Messrs. John and Win. Noble, both gentlemen of industry- ami 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. COIIEN* CD. TEMPLE OF FASHION. This is one of the solid business houses of Rome. Although they haye been located in our midst but a few months, they have, by their gentle manly conduct and Sair and honest dealing, W’orkcd up a trade equal to/ any in tho city. Their store is literal-, ly a Temple of Fashion, and their trade embraces all classes, from humble peasant to the ’ .T ELITE OF THE CITY. T Their stock is one of the largest awl best to be found in this or any- other] market, keeping in sfock everything/ to meet the demands of their numer ous customers. The store is situated in one of the elegant rooms under the Nevin Opera House, and presents an appearance of taste and refinement. It is visited by- everybody in Rome and Floyd county; and the tide of custom that is converging to 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., are 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 line 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 ipartmciit is one of the special features of their biisinoss, and is visited by nearly' every gentleman in Rome. The clothing department embraces a line line of gentlemen’s underwear of thobest 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, buttrue 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, st rightforward 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 establish ments in the city,having been establish ed by Mr, J, Jfl. 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 aud 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 on any part of the globe, and are 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 <Tn 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. THE REPAIRING DEPARTMENT, is second to none in the state. Every thing in the shape of watches, jewelry or canes is 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 _ MR, JOSF.ru E. VEAL Jli. one of the most talented young artists in the south. His career as a designer and engraver is unprecedented in the history of the 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 profression. HIS DESIGNS ARE ELABOR ATE AMDTASTY, 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 ing. 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 boilers of which she is more proud than (he Rome Stove and Hollow Ware Works. This mammoth establishment has ac quired a reputation for excellency in stoves and hollow ware that is the boast of Rome and the many thou sands of competitors.

One stove they’ make is win ning high renown. It is the celebrat ed NEW IMPROVED R. E. LEE. which for conven ience stands without a peer. Many of the leading families of the South arc discarding their old iron boxes and adopting the“Lec,”asit is without an equel for cooking purposes. Their heating stoves are also gaining celeb rity, as they manufacture some of the most improved kinds. This exten sive manufactory is run by MESSRS. JNO. J. SEAY, PARK BOWIE, AND JUNIUS GEORGE, gentlemen of pluck and industry, and who will succeed at anything they' un dertake. They have made an emi nent success in the manufacture of stoves and hollow-ware, for -which they' deserve the highest credit.
