The managers at (lie-different precincts to the county, will please count the vote eafiy to Tuesday evening, and send in their report, that night in order that the result may be forwarded by mail to Rome on Wednesday. Mr. Joseph S. McGinnis has placed upon our table four bunches of sweet po tatoes, grown by him this year, having from nineteen to twenty five potatoes to the bunch. Had the season not been so dry the yield wouid have been enormous. It wou'd he difficult to need anything in the way of books, music, stationery, win dow shades, wail-paper, or other goods in his line which cannot be found at Mr, Henry A. Smith’s bookstore, Broad street, Rome, Georgia, and it would be imputable io patronize a more polite, at tentive, accommodating, or worthy gen tleman. His stack of school books is large. He has a great variety of music, and defies competition in anything in his line of trade. Iqjnother column will be found a few vers* which are appropriated to H , a young man who lives not many miles from Summer'fille, by a young hdy whom lie has paid his most earnest attention. The sentiments of that young lady’s heart is so fully expressed in those verses, that while we read them we cannot restrain the sympathetic tears that rise to our eyes, to think that man’s heart is so hard that the wooings of fair maiden cannot find a resting place therein. Young man! retrace thy hasty steps, and seek with all your heart her forgiveness, VO r i E FOR DABNEY, TTI/DEN ANI) HENDRICKS NEXT TUESDAY. NEW GOODS!! More Goods! cheaper goods At THOMPSON HILES’ than any where else. Mr. Thomas Knox has placed upon our table a corn stalk, with the most singular “brace roots” that we have ever seen. There are three tiers of them, and each brace has thousands of minute roots form ing a mass of roots about eight inches in diameter, and about twelve inches in length. New Goods! New Goods!! New Goods received every week, and sold at bottom prices; and country pro duce taken in exchange at its highest market price. jul3-tf Thompson Hiles. “Air there any letters for my wiuunin folks? ’ said a plain looking old gentleman at the postoffice the other day. “No,” said the postmaster, “but here's a big fat envelope with some pictures on the front for your daughter.” “Jis - what I came down arter,” said the old gentleman: smiling, “Molindy’s going to be married; an’ this here’s one of them handy “Do mestic" papper patruns to cut out, her weddin' gown by.” New Goods! New Goods!! I have my Fall Stock of Goods in which is full and complete, and will be sold at bottom prices for Cash, or to prompt time customers.

Positive Results. There are numer ous remedies that cure sometimes and be come trusted as useful, but none have ever proved sa effectual—cured so many and such remarkable cases—as Ayer’s medicines. The Cherry Pectoral has restored great numbers of patients who were believed to be hopelessly affected with consumption. Ague Cure breaks up chills and fever quickly and surely. Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsapa rilla eradicates scrofula and impurities of the blood, cleanses the system and restores it to vigorous health. By its timely use many troublesome disorders that cause a decline of health are expelled or cured. Ayer’s Pills and their effects are too well known everywhere to require any commendation from us heie.— Scranton (Pa.) Time*. To the Voters of Chattooga County. My friends knowing my chance for ob taining a support for myself and family, are daily soliciting me to become a candi date for the office of Ordinary of this county. lam pained to say that the loss of my left arm during the late war, ren ders me almost unfit for manual labor. (I know this to be so from experience.) If the people of the county feel that I merit their suffrage more than others, and honor me with the game in the coming election, I will say, that I shall promise, if elected, to discharge the duties of the office in the best manner possible. Respectfully, John Mattox. Knox & Parks, No. 19, Shorter block, are driving a good business. They are sellinggoods remarkably low. When you visit Rome, call on them and satisfy your selves that such is the ease. Sign— “ Cardinal Flag,” A Broken Chain. i’O H—. I once <lld Weave a chain of love. Of which you wore the brightest link— I thought that Ueav'n was then on eaith, And 1 just on the brink. But alas! as castles in the air, Are built, but vasish away— So my chain, although so fair, Was broken in a day. And now, loved one, behold! The links lie scattered at your feet; 'Tis the fragments of my broken heart, And my lift* is a wreck complete. But I cannot believe that you are false— That your sweet smile is all deception; Surely in tin* depths (tf your heart, There must be some affection. Ah! do not smile when we meet, But pass me coldly by; For it opens afresh the bleeding wound, O, Gou! why can’t l die? 1 had rather have your cold contempt, Your hatred, your enmity; Than to have your friendship now. When your love is thus denied me. — V IST A. Money Wanted! And money 1 am compelled to collect. All persons indebted to me, either by note or account, prior to Ist January last, are earnestly requested to call and settle in the next Fifty days, as longer indulgence cannot be given. Oct. 10th. J. S. Cleg horn. Let every citizen of the county consider himself a committee of one to see that a free and fair election is held next Tuesday. Lei every Member of Gwnltncy Lodge be present next Tuesday night, as officers arc to be elected, and a full turn out is desired. Come out, one and all, and let’s have a good time. Before another issue of this paper shall reach our subscribers, the election will have passed, and the die, for weal or woe of our country, cast. Upon the issues of next Tuesday hang the future destiny of our country, and every voter should pon der well the result of his action before its performance. The scales are nearly evenly balanced, and hut a feather’s weight may kick the beam and land the country in anarchy, despotism and confusion, resulting in its total overthrow; or, it may bring peace and quiet out of the present chaos and disturbance If every voter could but realize and ap preciate the momentous issues with which the hour is fraught, we think personal preferences, so far as individual men are concerned, would sink into insignificance, when brought in competition with princi pc in lived, and upon which so much ilcpi 01. and whs. h is reality, arts to dc cldc tin ' ilc of the nation. To every ob serving mind, it is evident the party in power, which created the distress, could never relieve itself which it has produced and hence it is necessary, essentially so, to have a change in the administration of the Federal government, lienee, we are solicitous for the election of the straight out Democratic nominees, and would urge every voter to stand squarely and boldly to Dabney, Tilden and Hendricks.. D. M. White Retires. To the Editor of The Gazette: Believing it not to be right for one bird to strut with the plumes of another with out giving the proper credit, I think it but just and right that the many voters of the counties of Floyd and Chattooga, should know of the false colors under w hich your correspondent signing herself “Betsey Lew's,” proposes to sail, who lives, I am convinced nut far from Sum merville, in Chattooga county, and uses the name of Betsey Lewis of Floyd county —whom I have not seen, and but only recently heard of—as a nom de plume.. As to the copperas pantaloons, I could not certainly object, as they would be proof of iny frugality and honesty. And as to home-made tobacco, it is immaterial, for I do not—like ‘.your correspondent— use it. And for that part of her platfoim giving an “energeticinfliction of 45 stripes, save one, in case of disobedience,” is only practiced by barbarians, and only serves as a relic of barbarisms, which has long since passed into oblivion by the cultivated and refined of the present century, who now have substituted moral suasion and love instead, I let that pass. Now, Mr. Editor, since finding that such a similarity in names exists between this correspondent and Betsey Lewis of Floyd county, it beeuuies me as a pr tdent man to beat a hasty retreat, as I perceive our dispositions and inclinations are in no wise congenial. Therefcre, you will henceforth consider me as having retired from the canvass. Oct. 30th. I). M. White. Some people are trying to make capital out of the fact that Col. Dabney would not stop at Trion to meet Dr. Felton in debate, but passed by where he, was to speak at Penn’s chapel. No, gentle reader, the boot is on the other leg, Dr. Felton will not meet Col. Dabney as is stated as a fact by the Cartersville Ex press thusly: “Dr. Felton has thrown up the sponge. He has notified Col. Dabney that he shall not meet him any more on the stump in this campaign, As is amo.-t amiable and courteous gentleman, wo do not see why Dr. Felton refuses to discuss the public questions with him. Is it stand the .diot from ’abney Felton’s Speech Reviewed. To the Ktlttor <if The Gillette: Will you allow space for a review of a portion of Dr. Felton’s speech on Tuesday last, relative to Independent candidates? The Doctor labored very hard to cite us to some precedent for his Independent candidacy. Reasserted that Gov. Tilden is, or was, an Independent candidate. Gov. Tilden had not held an office since he was a member of the constitutional convention in 1846 to revise the constitu tion of New York, until, 1 believe, in 1872 he was elected to the legislature. During that interval of 26years, he was not in politics at all, except to vote and act with the Democratic party. He was a lawyer pursuing the duties of his pro fession, until elected to the legislature in 1872. where he got some insight as to the frauds imposed upon the State of New York by the Cana! ring, and upon the city by the city officials, known as the “Tweed ring,” which was a ring organized for the purpose of making money by robbery which they did by embezzling the funds of the city, and concealed their rascality by false entries, defacing records, and destroying papers. Their rascality had become of such enormous magnitude, and their acts so completely covered up and concealed, that it seemed impossible to detect or check them. Gov. Tilden determined to investigate, fenct out. and bring the offenders to punishment; which he begun with an energy peculiar to tho man, and which gave him a reputation for reform and honest government. The Democratic Executive committee of the state of New York called a conven tion to meet in Syracuse in said State, on 16 li day of September 1874, for the pur pose of nominating a candidate for gov ernor. In obedienco to that call, each and every county in the State of New York called their county meetings, ap pointed their delegates to said convention, just like the counties composing the 71li Congressional district which sent their delcg itos to the Dalton convention, when Col. W. 11. Dabney was nominated. The result of the New York convention was tho unanimous nomination of Samuel J. Tilden ns a candidate ior governor; and on the first Tuesday in November follow ing, placed him in the chair as the Chief Executive of the State of New loik, which enabled him to accomplish the gis I wm h lie had so nobly begunjin prose cutuigand imprisoning the thieves of Now 7i i k So much for the Independency of G-iverni.r I: >n. Your reudurs are all familial with (lie facts as to how lie be came a candidate for the Presidency. Dr. Felton also asserts that Ben. Ilill ran as an Independent candidate in the Uth Congressional district two years ago. WhaFttetss the man moan? Does ho think that wc are a sot of ignoramuses not to know hetteJ than that? The 9th district called a convention to meet in Gainesville, Ga., which they did. There were three aspirants befure that convention—llill, Bell and Price. Tim convention organ ized by adopting the two-thirds rule, and proceeded to ballot. Price having but few supporters', his friends soon with drew his name. *Tho contest then being between Ilill and Bell, but neither re ceiving the requisite two-thirds, Bell’s friends finally withdrew his name, and put forward anew man as a compromise, hoping thereby to defeat Hill. But Hill’s friends being confident ol his strength, refused to submit to anything but bis nomination. The bnllctting was protract ed for two or three days without any nomination, and finally agreed that both men should run and adjourned. They did both run and Ilill was elected. And so wo have yet failed ts find a precedent for Dr. Felton’s Independent candidacy. The Doctor also brought up General Jackson as a precedent for Independent candidates; (well, we thought it rather egotistical in the Doctor to compare him self with all the great men of our nation,) hut not being familiar with the history of those days, we can’t say but what Gen. Jackson was an Independent candidate in the first race he made for president. We know there were five candidates, and the result was, there was no election. It devolved on the House oHlcpresentatives to choose a president, amUthey chose J. Q. Adams. Gen. Jackson time belonged to anew party just struggling into existunce; just what Dr. Felton is laboring to do now—to form anew party, and ally the Republican party with him. Hence the “alliance offensive and defen sive” which is to make "war to the knife” on organized Democracy. October 30th, 1876. 11.
