The officials in charge of the institu tion are most kind and attentive, the fare is excellent, and our every com fort is well provided for. 1 have been at the home only three weeks, but even in that short time I have become much attached to the place,” Mrs. Angeline Lumpkin died Friday at the home of her son, Mr. Sam Lumpkin, in Tuskegee, Ala., after a lingering illness.

There was a good crowd in town Tuesday, notwithstanding the disagree able weather, and the various proper ties offerad at public sale brought good prices, aggregating a total of $32,312.

This property was sold by com missioners appointed by the court for the purpose of partition, Mr. N. O. Banks, a former member of the firm, having died some months ago.

Nunnaily will preach to the congregation of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church during the absence of their pastor. Dr. Nunnaily is pecu liarly identified with this church. In 1864 he belonged to a military com mand stationed at Rome and heffied to throw up a dirt fort here. In 1883 he was here again serving another commander, and he secured the identi cal spot where the fort was thrown up, cut the fort away and built the Baptist church, now known as the Fifth Ave nue church. It would be pleasant for him to meet the old soldiers of both brigades.—Rome Tribune Herald. ‘‘Here is n pamphlet on ‘How to Keen the Hair. ’ ” ‘‘What does it say?” ‘‘It says the hair can be kept on the dresser when not in use.” J WE SELL CORSETS S The latejft models of “American Lady” and “Lyra” corsets now in ^tock.
