We ere glad to notice the streets of

but still there is no bridge at the cor
ner of Lumpkin and Court streets.
Gentlemen why not?
Sentenced.- We learn that the trial
of (freer, in Putnam county, for killing
his brother-in-law, Middlebrooks, re
sulted in a verdict of manslaughter.
He was sentenced to the penitentiary
for twenty years.
Normal Whitney, a prominent New
Orleans merchant, has been arrested
for setting tire to his own store. We
are sorry to see Mr. Whitney in such
a fix, for we know him well. We can
not think him guilty.
We have noticed in the Rome
(' iiricr several communications from
the able and ready pen of that talented
writer,“Old Grizzley." since he left this
city f r New York a few weeks since,
which add greatly to the interest and
reading appearance of the Courier.
Now that he l as returned, we expect
to rer. I a good many articles in the
editorial line from his gifted pen.
D:tv Goods at Wholesale. --W. T.
McWilliams a Co. still continue to
bring in new supplies of goods which
they sell cheap for cash. Their busi
ness i> already large and is stea.lily
inci<. sing. Country merchants should
n u lai! to call on them Kifore making
their purchases, as they can get as
go<>il bargains as can be had anywhere
in the South. They can be found next
d. or to J. A S. Poi.es A Co.
IMPROVEMENTS.
There are some improvements now
. progressing in our city and a few more
contemplated. Among those now
progressing, is a very fine residence,
going up near A. G. Bitner’s, on the
western side of Howard street, owned
, by a Mr. Roads.
There is also being built, an addition
| of some two or three rooms to the
: Steam Boat office, at the foot of Broad
l street.
Mr. R. B. Wright is also building
: an addition to his cottage on Alpine
' street, near Howard, which will great
' ly enhance the value of the place, be
sides adding greatly to the beauty of
the neighborhood.
Among the most important of the
i contemplated, is that we hear J. & S.
1 Bones & Co. intend to raise the brick
! buildings in rear of th* ir wholesale
hardware establishment, another story.
Black Berries. —Last Tuesday even
ing, being tired of breathing city air,
and not believing the cholera is yet in
i this vicinity, we determined to go ber
rying, in company with our friend;
and right well did the sight repay us,
for we never saw the like of black
berry bushes, and every bush was
loaded down with fruit.
We had but reached our field of
labor, for we went with the intent!
of home, when the rain-gates of heaver.
| opened, and a young flood was show
-1 ered upon us. We hurried to the
I shelter of some mulberry trees, but
their dripping leaves only tended to
wet us the sooner.
After the fiercest had subsided, we
gathered enough to show whore we
had been, and began to plod home
ward, and we think the next time we
go berrying, we will consult the calen
der to see whose day it is. for we learn
that we intruded on St. John this
i time. We won’t do so any more !
Railroad Accident.—On last Mon
day evening as the 1:30 train on ti e
Rome Railroad was approaching Ba.cs
Ferry, about seven miles from R me,
; the fore truck of the baggage car be
’ came detached from the car and twist-
I ed across the track, causing the train
to break in two and throwing the car
off the track, completely upsetting it.
The passenger coach immediately be
hind the baggage car was also thrown
from the track.
At the time of the accident; Mr. I.
L. Todd, the conductor, was standing
in the baggage car and when it turned
I over, he was caught beneath the bag
' gage and got his left arm broken just
above the elbow, and received several
slight bruises. Mr. A. B. Wrenn and
lady were aboard the train. Airs.
Wren was slightly bruised on the face.
Mr. Jacob Printup, of Thomasville,
Ga., was also slightly hurt. The track
' was torn up for a distance of about
: seventy-five yards.
It affords us great pleasure to state
that the Sanitary Committee,comp *s I
of Dr. R. V. Mitchell, Maj. R. T. Har
grove and Mr. T. ('. McGuire, is mak
ing strenuous efforts to secure th*?
health ami cleanliness of our citv. It
will be the fault of the citizens if their
premises are not thoroughly prepared
for cholera or anything else that may
turn up. We think these gentlemen
deserve the thanks of the citizens cf
Rome for the prompt and efficient
manner in which tin y have dheham,y ’
their duty. It is also the dutv as well
as the interest of the citiz ns to ai I
these gentlemen in this matter for
they are princiaplly concerned.
Personal.—M e are pleased t- meet
again on our streets Col. B. F. S . v -y,
who lias jirnt returned from N\ a Y uk
and Washington City, where he ha?
been taking out patents fur Europe,
i for the press invented by him s If
and Dr. 11. I. Hampton. He re
ports perfect success in his under
taking, and seems to be very much
pleased with his pro>;iects. We hone
the Colonel may m.< t with that -

and long study of Ins subh • -..-fly

MISTAKE.
Sunday afternoon, we relieved the
te.liuni by paying a visit to Judge
Jerry . The Judge expressed him
: self pleased to receive us, and took
pride in showing us around the prem
ises,which are under the control of his
wife.
He- conducted us through the gar
den. which we deem nonpareil. It
was indeed crowded with the largest
and finest vegetables we have seen in
the city; and, positively, there is not
an inch lying useless in this whole
ground, for where Mrs. Berry has not
useful vegetables, she has ornamental
flowers, consisting principally of gera
niums.
; The next point of investigation was
, the Orchard. Here the Judge was in
his element, gathering fruits for us, at
line tin pi ; and de-
claiming their respective merits. In
rhe orchard, the Judge has some very
: fine early corn, also a fine crop of buck
wheat, which is intended as a pasture
I
for bees, of which he has some hand
some hives. But we contented our
selves with viewing these ata distance,
having been warned by the experience
i of one of our employees a few weeks
i previous.
VJe were then again shown into the
department of Mrs. Perry, consisting
;of poultry. And here we would rec
tify a mistake made by us a few issues
ago. We stated that this ladv had
under her charge about 150 chickens:
allo w us to say that we do not believe
they will come within 250, of all sizes.
I We deem ourselves somewhat a judge
of poultry, and we confidently state
i that we saw Light Brahmas in this
i yard that we indeed think paragon.
If you want to procure fine poultry
and avoid, cholera, buy Brahmas and
vegetables from Mrs. Perry.

The employees of the above named
papei have for some days past been
on i “strike” or a “drunk” we don’t
; know which. But we do know that
I the proprietor, Mr. Estill, is not a man
to be trifled with. He, along with the
editors have never failed to issue the
paper regularly, and we think its ap
pearance was as usual in style, quan
tity of matter etc. We glory in his
spunk.
Since writing the above we have re
ceived a letter from Mr. Estill, who
informs us that he has thirteen coin
i positors now at work and can get any
. number that are independent of the
1 Union. We are proud of his Foreman,
Mr. J. W. Taylor, a number of the
Union, and as perfect a gentleman as
the profession can boast of in flatly re
fusing to join the strike on such a
flimsy pretext as the one which caused
the trouble. With such men as these
the Typographical Union must not
think to lead them as they think best.
Perso: il. —Mr. A. B. Wrenn, Trav
eling Av.ut : the Nashville, Chatta
nooga A St. L uis Railroad, called to
see us this morning. He and his excel
lent wife are sp Hiding a few days in our
mon.itarn city, breathing the pure,
fresh tur and (.hiking our delicious
1 water, while at the same time he is
working up the interests of his road.
Wrenn is a thorough business fellow
and we wi.-h him success in all things
and happiness forever.

We intend to do ours.

When you go to Atl.cata stop at the
I Air Line House. They give you the
i same fare of other hotels and don’t
i charge but half the price.
A big name for a hotel is a big thing,
i but it ain’t good to eat or sleep on.
Try the Air-Line House one time.tf.
It is easy to be nobody, and we will
tell you how to do it. Go to the drink
ing saloon and spend your leisure time.
You need not drink much now, just a
little beer, or some other drink. In
the meantime play dominoes, chequers
or something else to kill time so that
you will be sure to never read any
useful books. If you read let it be
dime novels of the day. Thus go on
keeping your stomach, full and your
head empty, and yourself plying the
i time killing games, and in a few years
you’ll be the nobody, unless—as is«
j quite likely—should turn out a drunk-’
' ard or professional gambler, either of
which is worse than nobody. There
are any number of young men hanging
about jaloons, billiard rooms, and
other rum shops, just ready to gradu
ate and be nobodies. Young men, be
j ware.—Ex.
Why might carpenters really believe
i there is no such thing as stone ? Be
. cause they never saw it.
