“Yc olden lime” ill Home.
Wo call the especial attention of our
city readers to a communication upon
the first page of to-day’s Courier. It
will bring up the memories of twenty
years ago—the reveries of an old
Homan, one of the “b’hoys” of that
period. He recalls the incidents of
boyhood with graphic pen. The letter
will be read by all who were Romans
twenty years ago.
Old Winter Tarries.
Still “winter lingers in the lap of
Spring,” and tho oid rascal seems loth
to “get up and git” ns long ns the gush

the wreaths of rare ‘flowers that adorn
her pretty head. Thursday and yester
day the weather was decidedly cool, nud
if Spring doesn’t drop old Winter on the
floor soon our crops and the vegetation
will wither and decay.
Another lice fur the Y. M. C. A.
As the orthographical proficiency of
Rome is to he put to the severest test be
fore the public is satisfied with the amuse
ment, it is now proposed to have another
spelling match soon for the benefit of the
Toung Men’s Christian Association, in
which both ladies and gentlemen will be
invited to participate. We put up our
stake on the ladies.

Another orthographical contest cutne
off at the City Hall on Thursday night,
the admission price being twenty-five
cents for adults and ten cents for the
school children—all for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church. The first
prize was an unabridged copy of Web
ster’s Dictionary presented by Mr. Al-
bin Omberg, the bookseller and station-
The second prize was an old blue-
back spelling book mva-ded by the la
dies for the worst speller. At a quarter
before 9, Dr. Janes read the following
rules by which the match was to be
governed :
1. The spellers will remain seated
until a word is ready to be announced,
when the person in turn will step to
the middle of the stage and spell, and
if correct will resume his seat. If not
correct he will retire.
2. But one trial will be allowed and
no prompting.
3. Webster and Worcester or either
of them will be accepted as standards,
4. Both sides will be required to spell
an equal number of words without re
gard to diminished numbers.
5. When one side have all retired
the remaining contestants on the other
side will contend for the prize.
Judge Harris, one of the captains,
mounted the rostrum with the agility of
a boy, and in his winning way, invited
the spellers to come forward and take
their position on the stage, when eighteen
gentlemen modestly and slowly made
their way to their seats. Dr. Janes gave
out the words.
Mr. R. J. Gwaltuey, was the first to
urchin-like amble to tho front, all blush
ing with youthful smiles, to spell the
first word given out, which he did suc
cessfully and returned to his scat in the
boyish glee of triumph. Several words
were given out .and spelled correctly be
fore any of the contestants faltered.
Mr. E. B. Carter got so far into the
“abyss” of orthographical mysteries that
he went an i on it nnd lost sight of the
proper way of spelling it.
Mr. Richard Denny gave the lie to
“alkali” for which he lost the prize.
Mr. Robert Towers made an 7 of a
miss in “allspice,” thinking he had given
all of the letters in that word.
Prof. Ely went two i’s on “amethyst”
and didn’t see it right then.
Mr. Jack Kiug put anj, in “anodyne”
and couldn’t see to spell the word right
with the other.
Mr. Robert Gwaltney having never
practiced the noble art of physical train
ing according to science, spelled it “cales-
thenics,” knocking out another i.
Mr. Elbert McGhee was rather eccle
siastical in his spelling of “ennnon” and
left out one
Mr. Ogden was just mad enough to
put one l in “belligerent.”
Mr. Hines Smith omitted an r in “ca
tarrh” and stepped behind the scenes and
applied his handkerchief to his nose to see
if he was right.
Mr. Shauklin—poor Shank—a man
so invulnerable change, couldn’t become
a “changeling” nnd, therefore, left out
the e. »
Col. Tom Alexander went up on “col-
lonnde” and died game in making an I
of a miss.
Mr. C. Harper was not very eumpliv
cent, but rather fluttered, put it “com-
plaisnncy.”
Mr. Oliver Stillwell woul In’t “conde
scend” to put in nu useless s.
Col. J. I. Wright was not dry enough,
nud lie spelled it “drily,” and didn’t see
Y it wasn’t right.
Mr. Murphy had now defeated all
hut two of his competitors and the
prize was in easy reach, but in the
“ecstasy” of his feeling, he thought he
could o no s in the Inst syllable of the
word.
The oemtest was now between Judge
Harris and Hooper Alexander. Hooper
had been so successful thus far, and
owing to his youth, all wanted to see
him triumph; but ho had not
arrived at that age where he will know
as much about “gingham” as older
young men know of “ calico,” and he
put the h in the wrong place and lost
the prize, which was awarded to J udge
Harris.
The Spelling’Book prize was the next
to be won for the worst spelling. As
this was competed for more in frolic
than otherwise, we made no notes.
Maj. C. H. Smith gave out the words
for the contest—after which he pre
sented the prizes, both of which' went
to Judge Harris, in somo humorous
remarks, which were replied to in a few
felicitous words by the victor.
And thus another spelling bee has
passed off most pleasantly to all who
attended and made some money for
tho Presbyterian church. The audience
was a large oue. When the ladies take
part in tho next one, that City Hall
won’t hold the crowd.
Judge A. P. Allgood is not only one
of the most enterprising,but has been one
of the mo3t successful business men in
the South. Starting in life'with noth
ing but his pure heart, invincible will,
nnd untiring physical abilities, he has
made a fortune. Trion factory was
naturally very dear to him. Not only
had he made most of his wefllth
through its instrumentality, but its
beauty and harmony, its perfection in
workmanship and its pecuniary adapta
tion to the times and wants of the people,
were nil the products of his own delib
eration and judgment. As an artist
he must naturally have had an honest
pride in that result of his skill and
ability. But, alas, this splendid mon
ument, his whole life’s ambition and
toils, in a single hour is reduced to a
smouldering heap of ruins by the
hand of an incendiary
Under these circumstances it is very
natural that Judge Allgood should hes
itate about reinvesting 8150,000 8200,-
000 at a locality where a bold murder
er has attempted his life in broad day
light, and where now a fiend in human
shape has brought to naught the mag
nificent result of his whole life’s toils
and anxieties. It seems to us that or
dinary prudence ought to prompt him
to look about for other and safer places
to invest his capital and exercise his
unsurpassed abilities as a manufac
turer.
Rome offers some advantages for an
enterprise of this sort. We suppose
the steam powej; to’ propel a factory the
size of Trion would cost less than the
transportation of our material and
manufactured goods from any point on
railroad to tho former factory. Our
water works would be greatly ad
vantageous in suppressing fire, and the
entire community would be united in
protecting, and in every way support
ing such an enterprise. It is reported
that the East Rome Company are will
ing to devote ten acres of land on the
railroad for this purpose. I#Judge A.
would locate irt Rome and take the en
tire management of the factory into his
own hands, ho could get 850,000, or
875,000 stock taken up here without
trouble.

Perry’s Masonic Register*
We are pleased to sec that Thos. J.
Perry’s Masonic Register is meeting
with general favor among the Lodges
and their officers. Rev. David E. But
ler, Grand Master of Georgia, says:
“ I have received and examined, to
day, your Lodge Register. It is the
best arranged I have seen. The easy
method by which any fact or date may
be found is simply surprising. The
system recommends itself. The secre
taries of our Lodges would do well to
nave the book ”
Dr. Joseph II. Johnson, Past Grand
Master of Alabama, says: “ It seems
to me to supply a want long felt, for a
book of easy and ready reference for
secretaries of subordinate Lodges.”
Daniel Sayre, Grand Secretary of
Alabama, says: “ I wish it could be
brought into general use, ns I am satis
fied. that it would have a good effect
upon secretaries, and cause them to
take more care in making up their min
ute : than they are in the habit of be
stowing upon them.”
The Grand Secretary of this State
says: “ I am fully prepared to give it
my hearty endorsement and approval,
* * and should bo pleased (o know
that every Lodge in the State had been
provided with one.”
Samuel D. Irvin, Past Grand Master,
says: “ It supplies a want long since
felt by our subordinate Lodges.”
We could give similar extracts from
other Grand officers and officers of
subordinate Lodges if it were neces
sary.

A prayer meeting of the Young Men’s

Rev. Charles H. Stillwell will preach
at the Baptist Church to-morrow in the

We understand that work will soon be
resumed on the Memphis Branch Rail
road. Confidence is beiug gradually re
stored in this enterprise. All salaries
and office rent is being dispensed with,
and every dollar paid in will be devoted
io the work of extending the track.
Mr. John Harkins, the popular mer
chant, has erected a substantial awning
over his door, thus making his store a
cool place for the summer days. As our
New York correspondent says, “Mr. Har
kins is still selling ‘ fast colors’ ” at low
prices for cash.
Our River Navigation.
The steamer Mary Carter is still run
and controlled by Messrs. S. P. Smith
Son & Bro. and they seem to be doing
a good business on the Coosa and will
make occasional trips up the Oostanaula
and Coosawattee rivers to Carter’s
Landing, when the freights will justify.
Thus having the advantage of navigat
ing all those rivers, and her expenses
being comparatively light, she ought,
and doubtless will, soon pay off all her
indebtedness. She would have done
so ere this had it not been for tho ob
structions on the upper rivers caused
by the bridges, but now, as the waters
have abated, she will Boon make up all
lost time, and if no misfortune befalls
her her stock will be desirable. We
see no reason why this should not be
Stockholder.
Memorial Day at Klugston.
The Atlanta Herald says that Colo
nel Tom Howard is going to deliver the
Memorial Address at Kingston on the
26th. Colonel Howard says he is not
one of those who thinks that a speech
in memory of the soldiers of tho lost
cause can be made as an impromptu
inspiration. He says: “I approach
the memory of those men with a quail
ing front and a bowed head. I shall
dig Jeremiah from his grave before I
goto utter a speech in behalf of them
and their cause. That speech ought to
bo a wail of anguish and regret, that
will go sounding down the corri
dors of time, even into tho depths of
eternity.”

Postponement of the Texas Real Estate

Owing to the invariable custom of post
poning Drawings, the public will not
believe they will take place until the
expected postponement takes place. Al
though liberally patronized, we have
not disposed of quite all the tickets.
Owing to the above cause, together with
the unprecedented rains and floods
throughout the entire South, as well as
Texas, and as we are determined to
have a full drawing, thereby insuring
entre satisfaction to all ticket-holders,
we have postponed our drawing to May
13th—about sixty days, when every
prize shall be paid in full, amounting
to over 60,000 acres of choice land cen
trally located, near railroads, 17 Houses.
2825 Gold Coin prizes, among them one
