Veal in Rome, we note the following, which will be very interesting to those who are fond ofbuiting “ the finny tribe: ” 100,000 fish hooks, of all sixes; 100,000 yards of trot line; 10,000 pounds of seiue twine; cane and bamboo pole?, jointed rods; lines of silk, grass and linen ; reels, bobs, artificial bait and tees, gigs, spears, grapples, bait boxes, flouts, sinkers, seines, barrel nets, dip nets, cast nets, gill nets, tangle nets, fykes, gilling-twine, cork in bulk, spring hooks, sock-dologers, snap-and-cateh-'ein hooks, grabs—and in short, everything in the fishing business, for sale at wholesale and retail. At Veal's is the place to get the well knowu genuine Virginia books. Doings in Rome. Tbe undertaker Mr. Dailey has taken a store in Broad street. Judge Underwood and wife are now visiting the Northern States. There is excitement about a silver mine found on Dr. Dabb’s plantation, near Sil ver creek in Floyd county. A correspondent of the Commercial wants night-idlers arrested. At a meeting of Rome bond-holders in Augusta on May 30th, the city delegates (Priutup and Shropshire) offered a com promise at 75 cents on the dollar. Mr. William Johnson, who left Home twenty-fire years ago, is back on a visit. He lives county, Texas. Rev. W- P. Harrison of Atlanta will deliver the commencement sermon of the Rome female college on 17th instant. An intelligent citizen, who is also a member of the county school board, has been traveling a good deal among Chat tooga farmers in the last week, and makes a sad report of the condition of things. His judgment, based on observation, is that the trying times of '66 are being re peated in some parts of the county. Our lemark last week about a “corn famine” is no exaggeration; and readers will be lieve it true when we add that some far mers are forced to feed their stock on green wheat—their corn and fodder are gone, no money in sight, and the mules must have something to keep them up during plow-time. The person to whom we refer is utterly disgusted with the hallucination of cotton, and fully realizes the mistake that our fanners have made- He calls for a vigorous denunciation of the all-cotton method of bankruptcy ; and it is to be hoped that before another planting time comes, farmers of small means will have learned the much needed wisdom. Lately we have published some very sweet letters from Texas. Now we beg to present an extract from the Chatta nooga Commercial: “We have been permitted to make some extracts from a letter of Mr. W. B. Parham of Mineola, Texas, to his father in this city. Mr. Parham is now employed as foreman of a brick yard at $3.50 per day, but says his position is an exceptionally good one— the best he know of. Times are hard in the Lone Star State, and have been for five months past. There are too many men for the work there is to do. Dallas has 300 idle laborers. Bricklayers get s2.soand common laborers $1 and $1.25 at Dallas, and pay $4.50 per week for board. Men come in the yard daily, where "Mr. Parham is employed, begging for Ifojk. He has a young Englishman, a good book-keeper and scholer, rolling dirt for a living. Out of thirteen brickyards in Dallas none are ablejto pay their hands promptly. Altogether, this letter from an old Chattanooga friend is cot calcu lated to entice many from this city to Texas in search of fortunes. From Dirttown. —Mr. John Crawford died of consumption on last Sunday night. He was related to Rev. Mr. Crawford of Dirttown. Funeral services were held to-day by a clergyman ol Home, at the Presbyterian church. A daughter of the Mr. Bagwell who was some time since arrested and taken to Atlanta, is dead. The examination of Prof. Marshall's school will take place Friday. Mrs. Speight, wife of Rev. Mr. "Speight of Dirttown, was buried last Sunday. Tuesday. E. B: In Memoriam—Emjiry. Died at his residence iu Clinton county, Illinois, April 20, 1875, J. W. Embry senior, of pneumonia. The deceased was born in Clark county, Georgia, March 10, 1811; and lived sub sequently in'.Madison, De Kalb, '.Campbell, Floyd and Chattooga counties. He was married in 1824, and baptised in the Christian faith in 1839. He left his native State in the year 1864, on account of political troubles- In his last illness he appeared to b aware of his coming fate, and resigned to it. He leaves the wife of his youth, aryl a large family of children to mourn his death. B. F. E. ▲ Level Headed Opinion. To the Editor of The Ouiette: There has been a great deal said about kuklux and lawlessness of late, and a little about picnio parties, and various other things. It seems that every one has a right to his opinion; why not Granvil to his? So here it is. If every man will turn his attention to his farm or whatever his business may be, and stick closely to it for about five weeks, meanwhile saying and thinking as little as possible about other things, Granvil is of opinion that times will change, and there will be a prospect for the bottom cracks in many corn cribs to show less daylight during the year to come. June 4. “Granvil.” From Bosque County, Texas. To the Editor of The Gazette: Your neat and interesting paper has reached me away off here in Texas, and I assure you it is a visitor that I hail with much pleasure. I get more news from one copy than I do from a dosen letters. I wish to say a few words in rogaid to Texas, through your paper, to my friends in Georgia—l mean, when I say Texas, this section (Bosque county), which we call a portion of northwestern Texas. It is situated along the Brazos river. The soil is varied, embracing sandy, black and other qualities, all of it being adapted to corn, cotton, wheat, barley, potatoes aud many different articles of less importance. The land is divided between timber and prairie—tire timber being confined mostly to the streams which flow through the county, and funishes sufficient fire wood and rail timber, in connection with abun dance of splendid rock that we have. The higher land, and that remote from the water courses being prairie, gives us a fully supply of the finest grazing grounds in the world, and reminds one of old ocean spreading out in the vast distance. Our seasons are somewhat like those of Georgia, being near the same parallel of latitude. As I promised myself brevity in the beginning, 1 will only note our present prospects, and then close. The winter lasted longer than eonmion, and spring lingered to take a last and long farewell of her predecessor. The clouds, too, seem to be on the reserve, and have only given us a few gentle showers; but sufficient ty make crops hold their own ; and if we are favored with a “ground soaker" soon, there will be lack of nothing in our Lone Star State. If any of the people of the old State have relatives or friends in this far-off land, and wish to make them a present, let them send The Gazette for one year, and the favored ones will ever he thankful. It is worth more than money to a man far from home. J. B. Strange. PoweU Dale, May, 1875. The Picnic and Dance Question. To the Editor of The Gazette: I wish to reply to an article in the last issue of your paper, sighed by a somebody who “ Wants to Know,” you know. He gives vent to impertinent questions that are repugnant to the feelings of respect able people. He allows himself too much latitude for the severity of his judgment, and reflects too savagely upon the young ladies and gentlemen of our day. Mothers (according to your ‘ knowing' correspon dent) seem to be so steeped in ignorance as to need awakening by this far-seeing fogy of bygone days. , I tale no exception to his frowning words in reference to taking the bridge for a place of amusement; for indeed it is not right to obstruct the public highway. Although, as a fact, the picture he drew is too highly colored, and by no means the scarecrow he would represent it. I was no participant in the bridge pleasures of the day, but would have been had not I found on arrival that the bridge was selected for it. I passed through without disturbance, and all stepped aside in a quiet orderly manner. The mail was driven through without let or hindrance. While Mr. 0. W. Grumley was passing over, the forefeet of his mule went through a rotten plank—which same plank had been a dread to me on former occasions of crossing. The accident was caused solely by the unsound plank. Two men also passed through, each aimed with shot gun and pistols. After they had passed, Mr- F. C. Flournoy quietly remarked that they “looked like revenue officersto which one replied in a low tone that they “were revenue offi cers enough for him." They passed on up the road, and discharged a volley into the neighboring forest. These events are all that transpired to give an appearance of bad conduct to which you (Mr. Editor) had reference. The day was one of very pleasant enjoyment Some were singing, some dancing, some playing, and some rowing in a pleasure boat It was kept up until the shades of evening began to fall, when all dispersed to their homes. I am proud to say that I was present at the picnic of Bth of May, in the beautiful grove at Mellville—and at that gin house, too, which Mr. Want-to-Know would have made notorious and its inmates oonsign to eternal infamy. A great number were gathered there from different parts of the county, and some from Floyd. It was a day long to be remembered by lovers of genuine pleasure. At twelve o’clock a bountiful repast was spread before the people by Mellville's hospitable citixens, which was partaken with keen appetite. Afterwards, the crowd was very cordially invited by Mr. John A. Starling, a prince of generous souls, to the first floor of his gin house, to dance. It was optional with us. Some chose to remain in the grove: others went to the gin. A grand feature of the day was music and dancing, and pleasure was sought in various ways. Old men and matrons looked on approvingly. Aife proper hour the pleasure-seekers aujOtriuHl, wishing for another such picnic in the same beautiful grove. I have no desire to write myself into notoriety, but prefer to remain quietly in our rural nook under the shade ofTaylor's ridge. In taking off the old man of other days, (though he be unknown to us,) we yet like and respect him. Young people of our day have never envied his enjoy ment of yore, when ignorance with some was bliss, and it was folly to be wise. We in all deferenoe think the young people are able to take care of themselves, with out having the principles of old fogyistu thrust upon them —relies of days when the chief sport was a regular jig danoe (with a jug in the centre), and driving oxen and going barefoot: We hope, old man, that the hand of time will deal gently with you ; and when length of days shall make you tire of earthly joys, and you be beckoned hence, may you “ cross over the river” peacefully, and rest iu soberness under the shade of the trees. June 7, 1875. Bismauk. A Word or Two. To the Public generally: Some people busy themselves a great deal about my workmen, because I have some who cannot repair watches. 1 de sire to state for the benefit of the public that I have watchmakers as well as my self, jewelers, clock repairers, engravers, and tinkers. I have had men in my em ploy for many years, whom I could not trust to work on a watch; and it is no evidence, because a man has worked In my establishment, that he can fix watches. Respectfully, Jos. E. Veal, Watchmaker, Rome, Ga. The Columbus weekly Enquirer is 47 years old. It was established by M. B.
