City Ejection.
We publish this morning what is
known as the Nevin Ticket. So far as
we know there will be but two tickets
before the people, this one and the
Ayer Ticket. There will probably be
quite a lively little race, but we hope
good feelings will prevail.
Choice Hotel Leased.
Mr. J. I,. M. Estis, who formerly kept
the Rankin House, in Columbus, has
leased the Choice Hotel, in thi* city,
and will take possesion on the 15th of

We welcome Mr. Estis to our oity,
and wish him a prosperous career. He
has an excellent reputation as a hotel
keeper, and we doubt not he will be
successful in Rome.

Among- the Drays.
A drayman got a hard fall on Broad
Street yesterday evening. He was sit-
>in$ on a high pile of rolls of bagging
«u his dray. The props began to slip,
I 'he bagging began to roll and down
came the drayman, bagging and all.
“egot a pretty hard knock on the hard
street, but we hope he will be all right
this morning.
Inter in the evening at the crossing
0 Howard and Broad streets a dray ran
gainst tiie Hind wheel of a buggy and
stove it in. We know nothing of the
|«ts or whose fault it was that caused
e accident. But would remark that
a persons, both on foot and in vehicles,
s ould keep a good lookout where the
ri, el is great as on Broad street.

A Card from Mayor Nevin.
To those who know me this card is
unnecessary, but since I'find good citi
zens being prejudiced against me on ac
count of a report that l am in favor of
a repeal of the city registration law, I
desire to say that I am utterly opposed
to a repeal of said law, and in favor of
no man registering before paying all
taxes jastly required of him. This is a
safeguard I can never consent to see
removed. I am further charged with
running in the interest of Major Har
grove in this race. While I shall be
glad, as I candidly admit, to receive
the votes of Maj. Hargrove and his
friends (for no man of sound mind will
vote against me beoause Maj. Hargrove
votes for me), I do not believe that any
honest man who knows me, believes
that I can be influenced to do a wrong
act, or to go against the true interest of
my people, by any man living. It is
generally conceded among those who
know me that I have a head of my own,
and as God gives me strength to see the
right I have earnestly tried to pur
sue it.
Above all things else, and paramount
to all other things, my objeot in this
card is to warn my fellow-oitizens, the
the business men and property owners
of this town, against the effort that is
being made, and will be made, to cause
them to lose sight of grave and vital
matters—matters that concern them
deeply, by the continual cry of “Zack
Hargrove aDd his niggers.” I have been
a citizen of Rome for fifteen years. I
have labored for its welfare and shall
continue to do so. My private and pub
lic acts ore before the people and I
thank God that I have so little to feel
ashamed of. The people of this city
will hear me before this campaign ends
and no device of my opponents shall
prevent them hearing me. If the bus
iness men and property owners make a
mistake in this election, the fault shall,
not be at my door.
Respectfully,
M. A. Nevin.

Soirae at Shorter College.
La fortune eat une bien bonne chose,
mais l’e'ducation eet meiUeure”: so
thought one of the visitors assembled
jlast Friday evening dans le salon spa-
cieux du Coll'ege Shorter. If .he pos
sessed the ready tongue of Professor
Lynes’ eleves, he might do justice to
this, the most delightful soiree of the
season, et si vultus est index anltrSi, all
found it equally enjoyable. The.enter- _
taiument opened with music beautifully rca
rendered by Prof. Clarke and his accom
plished assistant Miss Coles,
"And thoie who heard It andentood
Bomethiog of Utkin iplrit and blood-
Bomething of Nature's fair and good."
Then followed a well delivered reoita-
tion in Frenoh by one of Prof. Lynes*
pupils, succeeded by a vocal solo ex
quisitely sung by Miss Ida Mallary.
Dialogues, readings and reoitations in
French and German were given in rapid
succession, interspersed with music, both
vocal and instrumental, all of which
reflected credit upon Professors Lynes
and Clarke.
If any one doubts the efficacy of
Prof. Lynes methods of teaching, he
need only to be present at one of these
pleasant monthly receptions. The
young ladieB all gave evidence of the
refining influence of President Mallary
and his charming wife. Col. Shorter,
the generous founder of Shorter College,
J honored the evening with his presence,
| and must have felt convinced that his
“Gift to our daughters,” was in safe
keeping with such a faculty.
