It affords me pleasure to he able to as sure the good people of this intelligent community, that they need not hesitate if they want a fine portrait; for Mr. J. S. Young, ray successor, is a leading pho- tograper; is competent, polite, ai d in every respect, worthy of your confidence and patronage. Mr. Young has larger experience and more ability than I have. I have examined his work—it is excel lent—it is first-class—it is bold in relief, and in detail, tone and vigor it is complete, rich aud beautiful, and is uni formly well executed. Ho makes all the fashionable styles and can color most beautifully. I confidently commend him to my patrons, and hope they will favor him with that generous patronage and in fluence which they have so liberally be stowed on his predecessor. You have placed a high estimate on my work and I am confident you will fully appreciate his best productions. Let this popular gallery continue to be, as it has for tho last two years been a place of pleasant re sort and interest, for people of culture to witness the rapid progress and develop ment of fine photographic portraiture. His commodious room with new improve ments is open for business and his array of fine work is on exhibition, and he will be pleased to have visitors call and see his work, whether they want anything done or not. Go and see them, they are something new as well as pretty. W. D. Murphy. A Word of Thanks* I cannot leave Romo without ex pressing my sonsrbility, my admira tion and high appreciation of the marked and courteous attention which has been paid by this community to me. I have never seen a community in any part of the world which has all through exhibited the same uniform, good order, the same complaisant be havior and the same unremitted atten tion and extended so much kindness to visitors and strange*. They remind one of the injunction of the Apostle “Be ye careful to entertain strangers for some have entertained angels unaware” I feel indebted to and will ever feel a high respect for the citizens of this city for courtesies and favorable influences which they have created and besto\ved upon me, and especially do L express my gratitude to those with whom I have been most intimately and pleas antly connected. Respectfully, W. D. Murphy. Extract of Letter of Kev. Dr, Lovic Pierce, of Sparta, to Kev. L. J. Davies, Macon, Jan. 8,1870. Dear Rro. Daviei; Excuse mo for writing only when I am deeply inter ested. I have been speechless about two months. Could not read and pray in a family. Had tried many tilings. Got no benefit from any. Since Confer ence some one sent me from Araericus a bottle of Thrash’s Consumptive Cure and Lung Restorer, which I have been taking now, this is the 9th day, and I can talk now with some ease. I came here, among other things, to supply myself with this medicine. No drug gist here has it on sale. I must have it. I want you to go in person to Thrash & Co., show them this letter and make them send me by express to Sparta,Ga., two, three or four bottles, with bill. I am getting on finely. [Signed] L. Pierce.

To the Editor of the Courier: I regret to state that during divine service at the Presbyterian church cn Sabbath night last a certain young man and a young lady, and two young chaj« on a seat just behind them, kept up a whispering a considerable portion of time. Remembering your request I felt it to be my duty to take down their names for you, but since I have conclu ded to withhold their names, for the present, to see whether or not they will be guilty of such conduct again, and to spare their parents tho mortification of seeing their wayward children exposed for I know their parents taught them better manners But I wish those chaps to understand they cannot pro sist in this course and go unnoticed. I wish they could see themselves in the light, others do. A Citizen. ■-»).»»Anii'if1,ITrot A Good Haul. Officer J. H. Dowdell made a raid yesterday upon the depositories of a noted negro sneak thief, and succeeded in capturing twelve axes, which had been stolen and pawned—some for liquor and others for provisions. Per sons who have lost axes will do well to see him and recover their property. The way some dealers have of advancing on articles of that kind to negroes is a disreputable practice, and smacks rather strongly of collusion with theft. Mrs. J. B. Ilino has returned from Florida, where Bhe has been spending the winter. Who wonders that Ilino is wearing such a smile ? Prorcrtl tigs ol'ilie Floyd County Republi can Convention.

Chamber ol Commerce. : It is gratifying to know that the Chamber of Coinmere is actively at work to save the Memphis Branch Road from sale, and not only that but complete it to the coal fields. Their programme is a foasiblo one, and if the citizens generally will but give the Chamber their aid in this enterprise they will secuio the completion of the Road, and that at no distant day. Let there be unity of action and nil will be well. Old brother Brownlow in his Sun day’s issue gives us an excellent sermon on the sanctity of tho Sabbath. If two of our excellent citizens had have read that sermon and heeded its admoni tions. they would have been spared the ducking they got lust Sunday by the capsizing of their fishing boat. How* ever, wo hope they will seay better next time. . Rev. I). R. Hamilton. Wo regret to learn of tho illness of this gentleman, who for several days has been unable to attend to his minis terial duties, in consequence of which he has failed to fill his regular appoint ments. We hope that ho may soon recover. We had a pleasant call from Mr. H. H. Parks, the genial and accomplished traveling agent of that sterling Demo cratic journal, the Atlanta Constitution He reports a grateful success with his journal and is particularly pleased with his efforts in the city. Our sanctum is always open to him. There will commence a general meet ing on next Friday, and will hold three days, at Pleasant Valley Church, five miles South of Rome. The public are invited. It is reported that Bosoiiee’s German Syaur has, since its introduction in the United States, reached the immenso sale of 40,000 dozeu per year. Over 6,000 Druggists have ordered this Medicine di rect from the Factory, at Woodbury, N. J., and not one havo reported a single failure but every letter speaks of its as tonishing success iu curing severe Coughs, Colds settled ou tho Breast, Consumption or any disease of Throat and Lungs, to go to their Druggist and get this Medi cine, or inquire about it. Regular size 75 cents; sample bootle, 10 cents. Two doses will relieve any ense. Dou’t nog- lcct your cough. Sold by all Rome drug gists, and at wlmiosalo by It. T. Hoyt and Holmes A Gordon. aprl8,tiv-w3m. To the Editor of The Courier: Some may think that- 45 cents per day rather a high price for dieting of prisoners, but I assure you it is not, when you take into consideration all the difficulties, risks, Ac., the jailor is subject to. He don’t get his pny promt- ly, and fiequently is subject to a large discount to get the money. The trouble and risk is worth something. He has been knocked down more than once by the prisoners trying to make their escape. Forty-five cents is little enough. A Tax Payfr. Subscribers to tlic •• Commercial.” The transfer of the subscription books of the Commercial to The Courier took place April the 10th. All parties who had paid in advance of that date for the weekly Commercial will be fur nished with The Weekly Courier for the time paid for. All subscribers to the daily Commer cial who have paid in advance of April 10th for that paper will be furnished with The Tri-Weekly Courier, at tho rate of four dollars a year, to the amount of their credit on the Commercial, or once and a half of the time already paid in advanco for that paper. Subscribers to the daily or weekly Commercial who have not paid in advance will be furnished with The Tri-Week ly or Weekly Courier at the pub lished rates of subscription, and they will be charged on The Courier books from April 10th, 1876. If any subscribers to the Commercial do not wish The Courier, in lieu of that paper, they are requested to give imme diate notice of that fact, by letter or otherwise. If no notice is received to the contrary, they will be regarded as subscribers to Tiie Courier. Iu order that thero may bo no mis understanding, I desire to state that I gave no agent authority to furnish the Commer-ial to suberibers at less than two dollars per annum, unless the subscrip tion was paid in advance. In all cases where tho paper was furnished at club rates, or for less than two dollars, it was uudestood that the amount was to be paid in advance. M. A. Nevin, Proprietor Commercial. aprl3,tw-w3m ATTENTION, MERCHANTS! A Good Advertising Medium. The consolidation of tho Commercial with The Courier renders this paper by far the best advcitising medium in this section of the country. Although the number of names on our subscription books is increased by all those on the Commercial books, yet our contract rates for advertising will remain the same as before this addition. So merchants and others will get tho advantage of what were two papers— both widely circulated—for one price. And even this ot, price is 20 per cent, lower than The Courier rates were a year ago, having been reduced to suit the times, Wo append our rates below, and ask our merchants and other advertisers to consider them: One square one month $ 4 00 One square three months One square six months One squaro twelve months The Mary Carter left for the Coosa- watteo yesterday morning.
