OCT. 11. isss. Chattooga county does not want any more judges of the supreme court. The Mary who took that famous lamb to school is said to bo living at Somerville, Mass ; aged 82. When an office seeks a man it has to pick its way to him through big crowds that are seeking it. Col. Glenn has been nominated for mayor of Atlanta by a citizens conservative committee composed of both prohibitionists and antis. Myron Bangs, of New York, a former Republican, has changed to Cleveland and sent his check for SIO,OOO to the Democratic national committee. Atlanta is tearing herself to pieces over the prohibition question. Whenever that subject enters poli tics nothing but discord and strife may be expected. A man died in Franklin, Missis sippi, and in his will bequeathed his property to the devil. Upon which the Meridian News remarks: “The pioperty will pass into the hands of lawyers.” The Farmers Alliance did it— that is, defeated the amendment au thorizing the election of two add itional judges of the supreme court. The cities voted for the amendment but tne country gave it a black eye. While the people, of Wyoming ter ritory did not elevate Mr. Wise, a candidate for the Legislature, to the place he was asking at their hands, still they elevated him to a high position. They hanged him for stealing a horse. The Republicans of the senate have introduced their long delayed tariff bill. It reduces the revenue about $65,000,000. Os this $25,000- 000, is on sugar, while most of the balance is on tobacco and alcohols used in manufacturers. In Afghanistan liars are shot out of cannons. If this mode of treating liars were adopted in this country, especially during a political cam paign, the reverberation of can non that would be continually heard would be equal to the famous artillery duel at Gettysburg. Henry M. Stanley, the famous ex plorer, who last August entered the wilds of Africa for the relief of Kin in Bey, and has not been heard of since, entered the Confederate army in Louisiana in 1861, was captured in ’63 by the Federate and served with them through the balance of the war. The anniversary edition of the Tribune of Rome reached this office last Saturday. It is the hand somest and most attractive edition of any paper we have ever seen and reflects the greatest credit upon the management. It comprises sixty pages and is a complete encyclo pedia of ( herokee Georgia and Ala bama. It will certainly be of great benefit to this entire section. The Atlanta Constitution accom plished a feat without n parallel in journalism last week. This was to publish on the day succeeding the election the names of the successful candidates throughout the State. Whin it is remembered that fully one hundred counties have no tele graph and are from six to fifty miles from one, the difficulty an 1 labor involved in the undertaking can to some extent be realized. Hon A. O. Bacon, who has been in New York for the past mont h as sisting in the management of the democratic campaign, has returned home. Col. Brice says of him : “It. is impossible for me to measure the value of Mr. Bacon,s service to the democratic campaign committee, lie has worked night and day and in nil matters pertaining to the cam paign his counsel has been wise and his labors unceasing.” 1 here is talk in Atlanta of throw ing out votes that were cast against the amendment on the ground of il legality. Even if some of the bal lots were irregular they no doubt represent the sentiment of the voters and that is clearly against the amendment. The people of Georgia I do not want any more judges just! now and the schemers who would, defeat their will should be watched. ■ It is principally a scheme to pro-j vide a lew inure offices for broken! down political lawyers. I News Notes. There are 18 doctors and 35 law yers in Rome, Ga. Laurens has gone wet by 45 majority. Little Rock, Ark., had a SIOO,- 000 fire on the sth inst.

The New York Star is in the h'ands of the sheriff on a claim of $16,000. The betting on the election is SIOO to SBO on Cleveland with not many takers.

Congressman Gay of Louisiana, is the richest Southern member of the House. He is worth $10,000,000. The entire E.

Out of a population of about 12,- 000 Rome has a church membership of 7,000, the largest per centage of any city in the world. The men, ten in number, who ran I awheel of fortune in the Exposition grounds at Rome last week, were arrested last Saturday.

Citizens of Centre, Ala., have subscribed SI,OOO toward building a cotton factory. They intend to put the enterprise in operation even if they have to commence with ten looms. There are more dyspeptics than drunkards in the United States. If the women would turn their atten tion to better cooking instead of prohibition they would probably do more good. Little Lon Mayhew, five years old daughter of H. C. Mayhew of Chelio district, Floyd county, was caught in a gin on Friday of last week and seriously injured. She will probably recover. The returns of the vote of 131 counties on the amendment foots up: for, 37,504; against 42,683. The six counties to hear from will make the majority against the amendment about 6,000. Os the members of the last legis lature forty-one of the lower house have been re-elected. None of the members of the last senate have been re-elected. Three members of the last house were promoted to the senate. M. A. Sullivan has sued the Chat tahoochee Brick company for $13,- 579, claiming that as sub-contractor he was damaged that amount by the company’s failure to have the road ready for his workmen as stipulated in contract. The County democracy have nominated Mayor Hewitt for re election in New York city. This precipitates a contest between Tam many Hall and the Co.inty democ racy, as the former have nominated Sheriff Grant for mayor. At Anniston, Ala., Monday, Law rence and Lacy entered the office of the Hot Blast, raised a fuss and fired upon Edmunds, the editor of the paper, and others of the employ ees. Chappell and Tripney were wounded. The trouble grew out of prohibition. Congressman Cox ana Senator Evarts have made a novel bet. In the event that Harrison is elected Cox will read every one of Evarts' -peaches in the congressional record for the next year, and in the event of Cleveland’s election Evarts will read Cox’s speeches in the Record for a year to come. Jack Hingard, of McLemore's! cove. Walker county, recently saw a very large snake in the act of charming crows. Finally one of 11l • crows came within reach of the snake and was swallowed. After a t'ine Jack shot the snake, which measured 11 feet and ten inches long il.d 14 inches in circumfer ence. He cut <p< n the snake and found h; jt two crows and three ra bbiu. Trion News Items. Last Friday more than two hun dred of the citizens of Trion went to Rome to take a look at the ex position. Mr. Moody, the gentle manly conductor on the C., R. & C. railroad bad charge of the excur sion train, and did all he could for the comfort and safety of the pass engers, and was entirely successful for notwithstanding there were so many young people in the party who are generally a little venture some on such occasions, there was not the slightest mishap to any one of the entire party, so far as I kn«w either going or returning.

The world can boast of but one institution of traffic like that of the Bon Marche, the pride of Pari*. Each succeeding age has seen the fame of some metropolitan estab lishment rise upon the commercial horizon with startling and dizzy rapidity and emblazon its name athwart the sphere of business with meteoric brilliancy—only to pass away with equal swiftness. With the death of the Prince Stewart the marble palace he had erected waned in power and importance and lost prestige in Dry Goods circles. Others have straddled the wild whirlwinds of apparent success and circling higher and higher bade fair to out rival those before them. Butin every instance ambushed adversaries in the shape of unsala ble goods and unpaid bills did their insidious work and steadily and surely sunk into dust and oblivion these vertitable coliseums of com merce. Fahy is now master of Rome’s retail trade, with wonderful and progressive commercial and financial generalship he is swaying the Dry Goods business. Equipped with money, force, stocks, ware rooms and courage he is climbing the bright meridian of a hard earned success. Think, a single mistake, a slight false movement would displace him and down, down he would be hurled with a pitites* crash. There would be som# .xcito ment, no little speculation, several self satisfied repetitions of “I told you so” a bold and profusive dis play of newspaper headlines in chronicling the disaster. Thon th# ripple would broaden out of sigh) and leave the surface smooth—buy Fahy’s fame would have vanished forever.
