A certain young man from this)
county attended the Rome Exposi
tion last week and lost $22 betting,
on the wheel of fortune. This made
him think for the time being that]
life was not wort l ’ living and he en- !
deavored to get his companions to
put a period to his existance. This]
his friends refused to do, however, I
and the young man after a time be-,
came reconciled to his loss.

popular prominence as a dry goods I

One of the attractions at the!
Rome Exposition was a negro’s ]
head stuck through a canvas, which
visitors were allowed to cast eggs ]
at by paying 10 cents for three’
throws. If the head was hit three
times the thrower was entitled to 50 i
cents, if twice, to 25 cents. John !
Echols, of Crystal Springs, was one j
who made three successive bull’s ]
eyes and carried off a half a dollar.
This is the only time in the year]
when a paper like the News can ]
make any money and it is by'accep

business season. Therefore we ask i
our readers to bear with ps until'
we can either enlarge the paper or]
cut. down the advertising space.!
Que or the other will be done soon; !
if the advertising patronage justi- ]
lies it, the paper will be enlarged ]
to eight pages.

to convey' the ore from the top of I
the mountaiff to the bottom and will ]
have to be made of very heavy i
lumber. We understand it is some-j
thing like a trough.

A subscriber from Mentone, Ala.,
] on Lookout mountain, came to town
yesterday expressly to see why he '
failed to receive his paper regularly.
It was a good deal of trouble for
him to come 20 miles for this pur
pose and we hope he "ill receive
! the paper regularly fiom now on. ’
|We will mail it to him and that is ■
! all we can do.
i If the mail service was changed
so as to leave Menlo at 8 a. m., '
! reach Melville at 12:30 p. m., and
return to Menlo at 5 p. m., is would
[ enable the people of Menlo to get
their papers on the day of publica
tion. To do this the terminus for
the Menlo mail would have to be
changed from Raccoon to Melville.
i We are requested to call attention
! to this matter. If it cm be arranged
as suggested it will be a great favor
to the people of Menlo and will : I
] work no inconvenience to any oth- !
! ers so far as we know. The carry- I
ing of the mails by the railroad un-! i

] urday of the death the day before

] Fla. Mrs. Close received a tele-
I gram Thursday which stated that
I her daughter was very ill and at
] once started to see her but did not
I reach Ft. Meade in time to see her

in this case it is peculiarly so, for
I its victim was a mother of only
I seven days. Eleven short months
I ago she left this county a bride in
■ all the bloom and beauty of young

] Last Saturday night the big fire
] works dipslay occurred at the Rome
I Exposition. The managers proposed -
'to make it an extra show, and to ,
| charge 25 cents per head foradmit
] tancc in addition to the regular
] charge of 50 cents. To do this they
attempted to clear the Exposition
] grounds before night, but about 75
] Chattooga.ns refused to l.ave say- •
] ing they had paid 50 cents to see L
! the show and were going to stay
j as long as they wanted to. The man-
I ngers after trying in vain to clear
i the grounds, sent for Sheriff Moore.
| Mr. Moore, however, refused to in
i terfere, say ing he knew the Chat
toogans anil how they did at home,
! and that be did not feel called up
on to interfere. The managers fi
nally abivv’oned their attempt, to
clear the grounds, and the Chat
toogans stayed and saw the fire
works without extra charge.

Invocation.
O. Jcr.tis! Thou that earth doth rule—-
That not-s the sparrow’s fall-
That inaketb planets Tliv footstool.
And heeds the lowly sinner’s call:
Will Thou in tender love receive.
In mercy great forgive
A guiltv soul—its fears relievo,
And with Thee let it live?
Stranger to peace to sorrow known;
Head in guilt—alive in fear;
In good a dwarf—in sin full grown—
To: v.<4i, O Christ, wilt Thou draw near?
Come near, O Christ! let light
Chase darkness all away;
Or a soul sinks down in endless night .
„That else had known eternal day.
