VOL X Lanham & Sons. ROME, - - - - GA. Jw Fall aOgHn MsH We are about to enter upon another Fall and Win ter season, and it is our Intention to make it the best we ever had. Ten years ago we began this business on a small scale, only one room, but by giving the best bargains, keeping out of combina tions to put up prices, and by the patronage and help of the trading public we have built up the larg est business in this city and one of the largest in the South. Our Seven Stores arejjfilled from top to bottom with all the new goods of the season, and the prices and statements we make concerning them are absolutely true. Some merchants are al ways selling out AT COST and using other deceptive means in their advertisements, such as “half price,” “one-third off” and “bankrupt sales.” We prefer to describe the goods, name the prices, and when they are called for have them just as advertised. : IT Wl LL PftY YOl): To come hundreds of miles as others do, to trade here.

WONT BE SPAIN’S OATSP AW Public Opinion in Germany Is In Favor of the Dons. London, Sept. 28—The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says: “The statement that the German and Austrian emperors have deci ded to intervene between the Uni ted States and Spain is utterly un founded . Public opinion here favors Spain, but th?re is no ques tion of the German cabinet mak ing itself a cat’s paw for Spain, while Austrian diplomacy will not allow its foreign policy to be in fluenced by certain dynastic in terests. Even apart from that consideration, Austria can do noth ing against the United States. It is pointed out here that France has by far the greatest financial interest in Spain, and as a repub lic, could with more moral weight stand up against the unjust aspi rations of another republic. Should the other powers send a protest to Washington, Germany would not be likely to keep aloof, but that is all. Her commercial interests in the United States are too great to be staked with Spanish rule with Cuba.” Yellow Jack Preventative.

A crafty old fox once saw some fine bunches of grapes ripening in a vineyard; but far beyond his reach. After gazing at them sometime he said to himself. “Those grapes may be sour, but judging from the care ta ken with them, I hardly think so.” He accordingly loped off to the city, and disguising himself as a commission merchant, got them all as soon as they were fully ripened without even the trouble of pick ing. This fable teaches us that all roads lead to Rome. Something to Depend on. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden 111, in speaking of Dr. King’s New Dis covery, says that last winter his wife was attacked with La Grippe and her case grew so serious that physicians at Dowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seem ed to develop into Hasty Consum tion. Having Dr. King’s New Dis covery in store, and selling lots of it, he tcok a bottle home, and to tne surprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and half dozeu dollars bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at Arrington’s Drug Store. Too Much Law. The Birmingham Age-Herald wisely puts it thus. “Thoughtful citizens in many states are begin ing to think there are too many laws. Every year the national and local statesmen meet and go to work making laws as if the salva tion of the world depended upon them. Code fellows code, only to be tinkered, amended or destroyed by new crops of legislators. Over worked supreme courts flash their guesses into print from day today, but the tangle grows worse all th® time. It would be a blessing to the country to rock along for at least : ten years without a single new ■ statute.” A pain in the chest is nature’s warning that pneumonia is threat ened.

FOUND NO INDICTMENT. Grand Jury Couldn’t Indentify : Any of the Versaillies Lynchers. Indianapolis, Ind , Sept 22.—The Governor has received a letter from Mr. R. Connelly, the prosecutor of 1 Ripley county, confirming the re port that the grand jury has ad journed without finding any indict ment agaisnt the Versilles lynch- . ers. Mr. Connolly says: “The grand jury did not return | any indictments agaist the mob for the reason that they did not suc ceed in ascertaining any person it. All the people who would natural have the most interest in appre- ' hending the guilty parties were j brought before the grand jury,but! unfortunately were unable to give j us anything more certain than suspicion, and small circumstan ces that might or might not be true.” The governor has transmitted the letter to the attorney general, directing him to take up and make a through investigation of the case in his own time and way. Those who believe chronic diar rhoea to be incurable should read what Mr. P. E. Grisham, of Gaars Mills, La., has to say on the sub ject, viz.. “I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war and have tried all kinds • of medicines for it. At last I found a remedy that effected a cure and that was Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.” This medicine can al ways depend upon for colic cholera morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea. It is pleasant to take and never fails to effect a cure. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by H.H. Arring ton. The 25th session of the N. G. A.

Travelers in Siberia tell of the wonderful flower that grows there, and which blooms only in January when the winter is at its height. The blossom is something of a “morning glory,” lasting only a single day. The flower, when it opens, is star-shaped, its petals of the same length as the leaves, and about a half inch in width. On the third day the extremities of the anthers, which are five in num ber, show minute, glistening specks veritable vegetable diamonds, about the size of a pin’s head— these are the seed of the flower, A Russian nobleman named Anthos koff took a number of the seed to St. Petersburg. They were placed in a pot of snow and frozen earth. On the coldest day of the follow ing January the miraculous flower burst through its icy covering and displayed its beauties to the won dering scientists. The plant has been very appropriately named the snow flower.”—Pittsburg Dispatch. Don’t Tobacco Spit and Smoke Tour Life Away.

GOLD WILL SATISFY JAPAN Peaceful Aspect Around Ameri" can Questions in the Pacific. Washington, Sept. 29.—An offi cial announcement of the depart ure of the Japanese cruiser for Yokohoma, together with the state ment that the immigration ques tion raging between Japan and Hawaii is likely to be shortly set tled without arbitration has thrown a peaceful aspect around Ameiican questions in the Pacific. This cheering news has been communicated to the state depart ment by Minister Sewell, stationed at Honolulu, whose mail reports have just reached the department. The most important statement made by Mr. Sewell is that the Hawaiian-Japanese authorities have agreed that SIOO,OOO in gold will settle the claims of the latter against the Dole authorities. The cruiser Philadelphia will come home immediately after the arrival of the gunboat Wheeling, with to return “when the Naniwa has left.” According to a celebrated ana tomist there are upwards of 5,000,- 000 little glands in the human stomach.
