PEOPLEjS PRIETO-. Borne, Ga., Saturday, August 9, 1873. Peaches are abundant in Rome. It rains almost every day. - The prospects are that bread will be in abundance and cheap. Our Cherokee Fair prospects are exceedingly fair for a grand success. The Premium List of the Cherokee Fair will be out in a few days. Important business will probably call A. B. S. Moseley to Montgomery, Ala., for several days. — Several hearts will be made happy in Rome this week—we have a large table in our office to receive cake and “sich like.” Mr. Wm. Poole, painter, presented last Friday night, a most beautiful banner to Mechanics Lodge of Good Templars. It is handsome in design, beautiful in execution <ui(l artistic in taste. * * The bridge across the Oostanaula river needs a thorough washing out, can’t Col. Hills give this bridge a call while sprinkling our streets. Our friend Leonard Todd has bought Mr. R. J. Fort’s interest in their busi ness and will continue the same at the old stand. «— ■ The Rev. Kinchcn Rambo will preach at the Fair Grounds on next Sabbath, the 10th inst., at 11 o’clock A. M. ’The public arc respectfully invited to attend. —: We arc pleased to see Captain J. L. Todd again able to be on our streets. His arm which was broken on the Romo Railroad about six weeks ago is slowly getting well.

Cherokee Fair Association, ) Rome, August 4, 1373. I Where it is not convenient for par ties'to call or send for a copy of the premium list, they will please send me their name and postoffico address. 1 v. .11 with pleasure send it to all such. The admission tickets are now on sale. Parties wishing to secure a chance for some of those valuable gifts would do well to buy their tickets nt once for each day they expect to attend. Price 50 cents each; six tick ets for three dollars. See list of gifts in another column. Wo hope to s< 11 all the tickets be fore the Fair opens. If so, the tickets we sell after that will bo 50 cents each, but will not entitle the holder to a chance for a gift. Thus. J. Perry, Sec’y. M. A. Wimpef., Jr., is building a new omnibus for Choice Hotel. This we believe, is the first time such a thing has ever been undertaken in Rome. Mat. Wimpeo knows exactly how to make anything that runs on wheels from a wheel-barrow to an om nabus or six horse wagon. He is a master workman in wood and iron and his work never fails to give satisfac tion. Fields or Dock. The root of the yellow dock so troublesome to farmers, is an effectual alternative and a most valuable medicine. In the neighbor hood of Lowell. Dr. J. C. Ayer A Co. have planted fields of it, where they raise many tons at a crop. It is grown like the carrot or beet, in drills, and its quality or properties have been much improved by cultivation. It is one of the ingredients in Ayer’s Sarsa parilla, ami. we are informed, the ex traordinary virtues of this preparation are largely due to the extract of this root that it contains. The Sarsapa- rilla root used by this firm, is grown on plantations of their own in Hondu ras, to secure an article of superior and wholly reliable quality. One of the reasons for flic universally ac knowledged superiority of their medi cines, may be seen in the watchful care that is used in preparing them. — Vermont Statesman. For loss of appetite, Dyspepsia, In digestion, Depression of Spirits and general debility, in their various forms Ferro-Phosporated Elixir of Calisaya made by Carswell, Hazard & Co., New- York, and sold by all druggists, is the .best tonic. As a stimulant tonic for patients recovering from fever or other sickness, it has no equal. If taken du ring the season it prevents fever and ague and other intermittent fevers. B&f 4t.

We take pleasure in calling the at tention of our readers to the card of the Secretary of the Agricultural and Mechanical Fair Association in ‘anoth er column. The ticket system adopt ed by the Board of Directors is a very liberal one and one that should meet the hearty support of every citizen in Cherokee Georgia and Alabama. The Association needs some money to meet Some pressing demands and to put everything in order by the time the Fair opens and have issued twelve thousand tickets and pu tthem on sale. Price 50 cents, which admits the bear er to the Fair one day and as an in ducement to the citizens to buy them and put the Association in funds they have offered several valuable premi ums to the ticket holders, (see card.) They are finding ready sale and are expected to be sold some time before the Fair opens* When they are sold other tickets will be issued and sold at 50 cents but tliey will not entitle the holder to a chance at these gifts.So we would advise our readers to buy at once for in so doing they not only aid the Association in getting all things in grand trim for the exhibition but stand a chance of getting one of them; a $650 piano. So don’t delay but go at once or semi to the Secretary and get them. The Board of Directors and the Secretary have worked long, hard and faithfully to make the next Fair a grand success; so far they have suc ceeded well. Their exhibition rooms show it, allthatnowremains to be done is with the citizens to rally to it, pre pare and take as many things as they can. Many are buying tickets who know they will be absent during the Fair, but they buy to aid the Associa tion, and with a hope of getting some of those valuable gifts; go and do like wise. When you go to Atlanta stop at the Air Line House. They give you the same fare of other hotels and don’t charge but half the price. A big name for a hotel is a big thing, but it ain’t good to eat or sleep on.
