Don’t forget the cotton men. They
like oysters and lager, and we say let
them have them.
Mr. I. N. Horn, we are pleased to
learn, is improving, though the weather
for some days past has been unfavor
able.
We have but two policemen on duty.
They Beem to be equal to the task. Two
better men could not be found. We
hope they will be retained next year,
as a reward of merit.
Rev. A. G. Nunnaly’s family have
arrived, and are now citizens of Rome.
We hope this may be their permanent
home, and prove pleasant and profita
ble in more ways than* one.
The election of county officers comes
off on the 1st Tuesday in January, and
the election of Justice of the Peace
and Constable on the Saturday follow
ing ; then, we will rest for a spell.
There have been quite a number of
strangers in our city for the last few
weeks, looking out for investments.
Some have been made, and others are
expected to be consummated soon.
W. M. Towers, one of our most enter
prising citizens, has invented and put up
a cotton compress apposite the rolling
mill, which is doing good work. He de
serves success, and wo hope he will meet
with it.
If the Chamber of Commerce expects
to make its meetings interesting and ben-
ficial it will have to hold at least semi
monthly meetings. Monthly meetings
will kill anything of the sort. We see
no reason why it should not meet weekly,
and many why it should. Think of it
gentlemen t
We learn that the Georgia and Ala
bama Steamboat Company contem
plates building a steamer to navigate
the Ooatanaula and Coosawattee rivers,
to be called the Coosawattee. This will
make two steamers for those two rivers.
The more the merrier; it being the
king’s highway, it is for all, and we
hope success may attend all who navi
gate them.
S. P. Smith & Son have sold sixty-
eight annual tickets for passage on the
steamer S. P. Smith to and from Rome
to any point on Coosa river. The rate
seems to us to be under a living rate,
but we have confidence in the Doctor’s-
ability to conduot his own business
matters—at least,we havb never thought
that he needed a guardian. We hope
that the experiment will not only pay
the Doctor, but the farmers along the
line of the river and the merchants
here.
Our young friend, Daniel D. Plumb,
shot and killed a fine buok, while up
tho Coosawattee river, a few days ago.
He tied the buck on his horse to bring
it home, but his horse was not disposed
to humor him that far, and so refused to
carry it. Dan had to abondon the ven
ison, but seoured the horns and brought
them home with him. He intends to
put them on the mast-head of the
new steamer the Georgia and Ala
bama Steamboat Company are arrang
ing to build for the Oostanaula and
Coosawattee rivers. Wo learn from Mr.
Plumb that some fifteen deer have been
killed up there within the last fifteen
days.

A Brilliant Meteor Seen.
Dr. J. M. Biggirs informs us that, at
about 8 o’clock P. M. on the 6th inat.,
a large and brilliant meteor passed from
the northwest over Drake Town, in
Haralson county, and exploded with a
terrific report, shaking the houses like
an earthquake. Several parties saw it,
but no fragments have been found. The
place of explosion is supposed to be
some 10 miles southwest of Drake

Thirty-eight years ago, on November
19, says the Paris Oautoia, a terrible fire
broke out in a convent for young ladies
in the town of Limoges. At the last mo
ment it was perceived that one of the pen
sionaries had been left in her room.
There appeared to he no hope of saving
her, when a fine young girl with dishev
elled locks and with her night dress float
ing around her, pierced the crowd, cry
ing, “Let me do it.” And she rushed into
the midst of the flames, and shortly after
ward appearad, carrying the unhappy in
fant in her arms. A few day afterward
Louis Philippe sent the heroine a gold
medal, and a Captain in the French
array who had witnessed her courage
asked to be presented to her. That Cap
tain is now President of the French Re
public, and the heroine is the Duchesse de
Magenta.
Now, girls, lookout for the next fire and
be sure to be on hand, with your hair
down, to save the unhappy baby.
The Talladega Reporter has this little
bit of romance:
“A gay young couple crossed the
Coosa as the shades began to thicken
yesterday evening, and, before the can
dles had ceased to flicker in the win
dows, made the trip from St. Clair to
Talladega. They were accompanied by
one friend and all three mounted on
fine horses. They took the up train at
midnight, and by this time the loving
twain have doubtless been made happy
in the land of Georgia.”
And so they were. Our friend, Rev.
D. B. Hamilton, tying the love-knot so
securely that their mamma’s scissors can
not even out it.
The Talladega (Ala.) Mountain Home
very properly calls upon Gen. Morgan
and W. G. Little, Democratic Electors,
to explain the wherefor of their absence
from the meeting of the College on the
day appointed to count the vote of Al
abama for President. It says:
The people of Alabama voted for
these absentees and placed upon them
a public duty to perform. They failed
to discharge this auty, and the people
now demand the reason. Let Messrs.
Morgan and Little explain their course.
That’s rights; call them to taw. A
man who is not faithful in little things
is unworthy of trust in greater.
We acknowledge our thanks to Dr.
Joseph H. Johnson, the worthy and effi
cient principal of the Alabama Deaf and
Blind Asylum, fora copy of the sixteenth
annual report of that institution. It ex
hibits a prosperous and useful condition
of that noble institute of human
charity.

!>■-. XViltlan I). Jones.
It is with sincere regret and sorrow we
are called upou to chroniclo the death
of Dr. William D. Jones, an old and
much respected citizen of .this county,
who departed this life on Thursday last,
at tho residence of his son, Robt. D.
Jones, some nine miles above the city, at
tho advanced age of 76.
Tho Doctor was born and raised in
Greenville county, N. C., and graduated
at Chappel Hill, N. O., was class-mate
graduated with ox-President James K.
Polk a.d his brother Leonidas L. Polk,
after which he moved to West Tennessee
which he lived many years, beloved, and
respected as an honest and upright man
by all who knew him.
He moved to this county some years
ago where he has enjoyed the confidence
and respeot of all who formed his ac
quaintance. He was a brother-in-law of
the late Judge Lewis D. Burwell and fa
ther-in-law of Capt. Samuel M. May, of
this city. He was an acceptable member
of the Methodist Church, and of the Ma
sonic Fraternity. Was a kind and affec
tionate husband, indulgent father, good
neighbor, and a law-abiding citizen, one
who possessed a heart that felt for others’
woes, and did all in his power to alle
viate their distresses by administering to
their wants wherever and whenever they
presented themselves. He was a man of
more than ordinary intellect, but was one
who was reserved and preferred to remain
as a private citizen and remain quietly on
his farm and at home in the bosom of his
family although often solicited to take a
part of in the public affairs of the coun
try. We do not intend this as an obitu
ary, we leave that for an abler pen, as
we feel our inability to do his memory
ice. He has gone to his rest to receive
the reward his long and useful life merited.
To his afflicted and aged widow, children
and relatives we tender our sincere sym
pathies.
Cotton Repoiti.
We think it but just to call the atten
tion of the public to the fact that our cot
ton reporta are made up from the actual
sales and shipments at this place. The
cotton that is shipped from other points
north passing through our city is not
taken into account. The*cotton reports of
Atlanta are made up from all the receipts
by railroad or otherwise whether sold
there or not. For instance cotton bought
here and shipped north, if sent via.
Charleston, Savannah, or bythe Air-Line,
is put into account by the Atlanta reports
as so much received there by the W. & A.
Railroad and then reported as the amount
shipped. This is the secret why they
make such a large showing; it is ficticious
and well calculated to deceive.
Mr. Cohen Answers.
To the Editor of ihe Courier:
I have replied fully to those questions
asked again in your last by “ Old Con-
fed.” Who is she or he ?
I have the honor to be one of the
oldest inhabitants of Rome, in fact the
oldest, with one or two exceptions, and if
there is a charge against me, or any du
ties that I, as a citizen, have not perform
ed, let the writer come to me, faoe to face,
and I will promptly settle the bill or
make amends to either woman or man.

Newest Paris Fashions,
The lorgnettes of fashion are still
mainly directed to.that grave article of
dress, the petticoat. The fiat abolishing
it has gone forth, and in many cases it
has disappeared utterly; but in a great
many other instances it clings to its
time-honored place. Fashion, aghast at
stubborness with which these females
refuse to doff the petticoat and don the
hitherto distinctively •nlo garment has
compromised on a middle course. For
the benifit of our conservative or reac
tionary sisters she has invented a hy
brid garment callod the jup eac. This
is confined at the ankles by loose rub
ber bands.
The latest style in bonnets is the
chapeau coup de vent, which is unsuited
to light-headed females.
Garlands are now worn round the
neck, the ends descending on the breast,,
the idea being to warn the men that
there are no roses without th orns.
Rosettes on shoes are worn on the
side and near the ankle, instead of in
front. This has been accounted for by
a Frenchman as necessary to leave
room for the pressure of a loving foot
under the table. Who but a French
man could put such a construction on
so obviouB and harmless a means of
displaying the contour of pretty feet
while preserving the little daub of
bright color that catches the wandering
eye.
The new glove is le ganl Beatrice,
which is warranted not to soil by
squeezing. _
It will have been observered that
there is a great diminution of the war
like tenor of the European dispatches
during the past week, and that the for
eign journals, whioh have the ear of the
London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and St.
Petersburg oabinets, have ceased to pre
dict war as a certainty. There has been
an easier feeling at the gTeat commer
cial centres, and we take this to be an
indication that hope is directed towards
a peaceful settlement of the disturbing
issues. The movements of the head
quarters of the Russian army to a point
not far distant from the Turkish fron
tier might have been accepted as an
alarming incident if there nadnot been
such a strong confidence that diplomat
ic negotiations will adjust tho pending
questions and prevent the threatened
armed interference of Russia between
Turkey and the discontented principal
ities. The nearer the possibility of a
great war is approaohed the more thor
oughly the foot is recognized that the
voice of Deople is for peace. The com
ing conference of the Powers will be in
fluenced by the popular demand that
the nations shall not be plunged into a
tremendous conflict, and this pressure
the statesmen who will participate in
that assemblage cannnot be neglectful
of. Europe has had quite enough of
war recently, and it will be dificult for
the ambitions ot monarchs to foroe an
other conflict.
