The Rome Tribune's anniversary issue
was a grand paper, reflecting credit upon

good to the Hill City if it gets into the

late. On the 11th there was a fearful
collision near Hazleton, of two packed
excursion trains, in which more than 100
people were killed and wounded. On the
10th there was another wreck on the
Pottsville division, in which six persons
were killed and about thirty wounded.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
•While it is true that everything indi
cates a close race between the two great
parties in the November election, the
Democrats at present seem to have the
inside track. They are in better posi
tion for aggressive work than the other
side, while Gen. Harrison must be oil the
defensive, as to his personal record, and
his party is in the same lix.
The Republicans can make no claim of
giving hope to the country for any re- ;
form, without being met- with the re
minder that they have been in power
many years without anything like re
form. 'They started the campaign with
the evident intention to delude the peo
ple with the idea that it was a fight for
protection on the one side and free trade
on the other —but the people would not
be gulled—they see that Cleveland's let
ter and Mills" bill and the Democratic
platform only propose reasonable and
desirable reforms in our general tariff
system. Even the Republicans admit
that something is necessary in this line,
and their majority in the Senate under
took to pass a tariff bill embodying this
idea; but it being only intended to fore
stall the Democrats, who had inaugu
rated the work, of course could not
succeed.
The outlook is hopeful. There is a
great deal in the virtual admission by
the Republican leaders that Indiana is
gone to them—or that they can win
without Indiana. Everything goes to
show that their efforts are to be concen
trated on New York, which we consider
safely Democratic, in the National race,
notwithstanding the fact that they are
having their usual family quarrels in
New York City.
Euless the drift changes between this
and the Oth of November, Grover will
get there by a fair majority.
Official Announcement
Georgia State Agricultural Societyj
SECRETAHY'S OF V ICE,
Macon, Ga., October 0, 1888. )
The Georgia State Agricultural Society
through its Fair Committee, have fixed
the dates for holding the Annual State
Fair on November sth to November
10th, 1888, at Central City Park, Ma
con, Ga. All fear of yellow fever having
subs Med, and the country having recov
ered from the effects of the recent floods,
all obstacles to success have been remov
ed Our premium list is full and com
plete, embracing everything in farm,
garden and orchard products, home in
dustry, needle-work, fine arts, machinery,
live stock, poultry, dogs, bees, etc. Our
grounds are the best in the South, and
unsurpassed in America. Our race track
has no superior anywhere. Ourstalls for
stock are new throughout and on the
most improved plan. In fact we have
ample accommodation for all comers in
every department. The books are now
open, and we respectfully urge that en
tries be forwarded to tlie secretary at
once to avoid rush and confusion. For
premium list and full information ad
dress the Secretary.
W. J. No IIT HEX,
Rout. A. Nisbkt, President.
Secretary.
As will be seen from the abovethe State
Fair is “on'’ again in all its glory. We
are assured by Secretary Nisbet that the
prospect is unusually bright. The post
ponement has gained a special advantage
in the matter of live stock and the races.
The entries in boHi these departments
will be much larger than they would
have been in October.
The dates as they now stand form a
good racing circuit, with Macon in the
lead followed by Columbus and Augusta
in the order named. This assures the
best races seen iu Georgia for many
years, which alone will be worth a trip to
Macon.
Mclntosh, Talbott and Hancock coun
ties are in the race for the $1,000.00
premium, with a very strong probability
that Houston will follow suit; thus you
see there will be no lack of interest, in
formation and amusement for all.
The State Fair belongs to the people of
Georgia, and the people of Georgia
should see to it that there are full ex
hibits and big crowds. %
.Selling Whiskey.
The Fort Willey Enterprise tells us
how Judge Boynton woke up the whiskey
men of that town.
“Fort Valley is a prohibition town,
but it seems that there lias been a great
deal of whiskey sold here regardless of
the law. The grand jury found three
true bills against three negroes of Fort
Valley for violating tlie prohibition law.
Simon and Lifus Felder could not be
found by the officers, but Henry Jones,
the barber, was arrested and carried to
Perry, where he was tried Wednesday.
Henry plead guilty and Judge Boynton
sentenced him to pay a fine of $125 and
go to jail for fifteen days. This fine is
not considered too heavy by ourcitizens,
as the law lias been violated to a con
siderable extent. This action of the
judge will do much toward breaking up
this unlawful traffic. It has been the
general opinion that whiskey was being
sold here by a number of negroes, and
our law-abiding citizens propose to stop
it, and every effort made to enforce the
prohibition law.”
“Diseased nature oftentimes breaks !
forth in strange eruptions*” and the re
sult of it all is pain. Now Salvation
Oil will send this very pain to the l ight
about at the trifling cost of only 25
cents.
John B. Gough, the far-famed lecturer,
excused himself to an audience because
of n bad cold, then started for Egypt in
the hope of getting rid of it. Egypt con

sult than Dr. Bull’s Cough syrup

A DAY IN JOPPA.
A Glimpse of Life in One of the World's
Oldest Towns.
Joppa is one of ‘the oldest cities in the
world and tlie first possible landing place
as one sails northward from Egypt. Yet
there is difficulty in landing Reefs of
rocks defend the shore, the bay is shallow,
sharks are not unknown and the coast is
much exposed Your vessel anchors half
a mile out at sea, and a throng of iiattish
bottomed cobles soon surround the ship
to carry passengers through the opening
in the reefs to land. A babel of cries, un
intelligible to western ears, fills tlie air;
but by degrees the motley crowd of deck
passengers of the most varied nationali
ties, veiled women, shawl covered Arabs,
black Nubians, with their red fezes, brown
Levantines, turbaned Syrians, or Egypt
ians with their flowing robes of all shades,
all drift by degrees into the boats, and
for a time at least you see the last of
their red and yellow slippers and hear
their noisy jargon no more. Then y> u,
who have shrunk possibly from this
crushing crowd of Orientals, have y< ur
turn, and the skillful and strong armed
oarsmen whisk you through the opening
in the reefs across the shallow harbor,
and then suddenly, when you are twenty
or thirty yards off shore, you are seized
and carried in the bare arms or on the
back of a boatman through the shall*w
water to the tumble down old quay built
of stone from the ruins of Ctesarea, and
at last you find yourself treading on the
soil of the Holy Land.
Pursuing our way through tlie street
we find it rough enough. Once paved,
the stones have tong since risen or sunk
above or below their proper level. Dust
bins and sewers being apparently alike
unknown to the idle Oriental, every kind
of foulness bestrews the way. The build
ings are'of stone, with little or i:o wood
anywhere, timber being scarce in Pales
tine. Tlie arch is hence universal, as you
ramble on you see that no light enters the
shops except from the front—that they
are, in fact, something like miniatures of
the gloomy holes sometimes made out of
railway arches in England.
Tables of cakes or sweetmeats line the
narrow streets. Rough awnings f mats,
often sadly dilapidated, or tent cloths, or
loose boards resting on a rickety structure
of poles, partially shade the roadway.
Now we meet a turbaned water carrier
with a huge skin bottle on liis back. The
bottle is, in fact, a defunct calf, with
water instead of veal within, and without
legs, head or tail, and offering a most
forcible illustration of the reference to
the placing of new wine in old bottles.
Further on we see a bare armed and
bare legged individual in ragged skull
cap, cotton jacket and cotton knicker
bockers, chaffering with a roadside huck
ster for some delicacy costing a farthing
or two from some of the mat baskets on a
table; the bearded vender, also bare
armed and bare legged, sits as ho tries to
sell, his head swathed in a white and red
turban, and his body in pink and white
cotton. Of course, there is a lounger at
his side looking on.
Then, again, we see au Arab in “kefi
yeh,” or head shawl, with a band of cam
el’s hair rope, very soft, around his head
to keep the flowing gear in its placg, and
a brown and white striped “abba” for his
outer dress; he is bargaining for a bridle
at a saddler’s, and trying to cheapen it,
and the saddler sits cross legged on a
counter and under a shady projection of
wood and reeds, which gives him much
needed shade. And thus we see glimpses
of ordinary, every day life in the old town
of Joppa. —The Quiver.
