MELSON MELLANGE.
_ <
Melson, Ga., March 14.
Our farming people are quite I
forward with farm wqrk, from !
four to six weeks ahead of last
season. Everyone seems hopeful
and in high expectation of a
“big” crop, Yes, a cotton crop
too. More guano, more acres
and better implements to culti
vate cotton. There is no talk of
reducing the number of acres.
All want more bales of cotton.
Wheat and oats are beginning
to grow as the opening of spring
approaches. Gardens are back
ward. No blue birds yet.
Mr. Sheldon Simms, professor
of mathematics in The Synodi
cal school, in Rome, with his
wife and little daughter, Susan,
spent two days of last week with
the parents of the former.
Mr. P. B. ’Simms, principal
of Fincherville High School, is
visiting his parents at Melson.
The outbreak of smallpox caus
ed him to suspend his school
for an indefinite time. Letters
received from Fincherville say
the disease is rapidly spreading.
Melson High School is in its
tenth year, and is now a better
school than ever.
Mrs. M. E . Sheldon has’been
quite sick but is better.
Seed cotton is being hauled
to the gin of Mr. R. B. Simms,
so you see the cotton crop of
1897 is not all sold.
Mr. Jefferson Trammell has
been sick a long time but it is
hoped he is better now.
More anon. Busy Man.
BACK FROM NEW YORK
Mr. J. A Gammon Returned
Yesterday.
Mr. J. head of th<
gents furnishing and ready madt
clothing house of J. A, Gammon
Co. arrived home from Nev
York yesterday afternoon.
Major Gammon has been away
for near a fortnight having spent
a couple of days most p'easantly
in Augusta, enroute to to Goth
am.
To a Hustler-Commercial re
porter Mr. Gammon stated'this
morning that he had bought one
of the best selected, best stocks
to be shipped south this sea-on.
He took his own time in making
selections, and from years of ex
perience in the business knew ex
actly what to buy for Romani
“and that is the Lest and most
stylish” said he.
The goods will begin to arrive
in a few days and from then on
you can reckon on J. A. Gammon
& Co. for being head quarters for
everything worn by men.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
A Good “Sevbod.”—This section
ba« enjoyed a good “season” since
Saturday, the vain falling quite
steadily for a number of hours
this forenoon . Farmers and truck
gardeners wear sunshine in their
faces even though the clouds hang
heavy.
To Put In New Machinery.—
Messrs. J. 11. Ludvig of Charlott.
N, C. and Paul Nuckolas of Fay
ette Ala., arrived yesterday to put
..nine new machinery in the R< m»
Cotton Factory. These experts
know their busines and for th*
month they remain here will
doubtless form many pleasant
acquaintances. They are guests at
the Central.
Mud, Mud, Mud.—Owing to the
damp drizzles and wet raiusof the
past 36 hours the alleged chert on
Broad St. and the plain old sash
ioned dirt on the other streets have
been considerably worked up today
Tne average little 2x4 politician
who enjoys a mud slinging contest
can find all the amunition he
wnits —any wlnre—off of Col.
Dick Denny’s parlorkept pave
ments.
Sproull Fouche lll.—The
many friends of Mr. Sproull
Fouche will regret to learn that
he is quite ill at his father’s
home on Second Ave. Sproull
Fouche, as citizen and lawyer,
has won an enviable reputation
for his years. The Hustler-Com
mercial wishes him a speedy re
covery and predicts for him a
bright and most successful fu
ture.
Order of Mystic Chain.—
Messrs. T. L. Ackerman and B,
J. Smith, of Richmond, Va., ar
rived in the city today and are
stopping at the Central. These
gentlemen are clothed with the
proper authority and are here
for the purpose of organizing a
chapter of the Knights of the
Mystic Chain. The order is a
splendid one and it is to be hop
ed that they will succeed in
their work for Rome.
City Court.—The regular
March term of the city court,
Judge George Harris on the
bench, convened at 10o’clock in
the city court room this morning.
The court was organized and
prayer offered by Rev. A. A
Tilley, the eloquent young Meth
odist minister. On account of
the illness of Col.Sproull Fouche.
who had cases set for trial today,
the court was recessed over un
til 8:30 tomorrow morning.
Judge Harris will dispose of
business on the civil docket this
week.
A Brooklyn Farmer.— Mr.
Peter Wyckoff, of Brooklyn, N
Y., accompanied by Mr. Arthur
Green, of Berlin, N. Y., are at
the Armstrong. Mr. Wyckoff is
about the only man living who
can afford to run a farm in the
heart of a city like Brooklyn, N
Y. These capitalists are in Rome
for a few days, and while here
will inspect the matchless natu
ral resources of the city and sec
tion. Rome and Romans bid
them welcome and wish their
visit may be beheficial in every
way.
Admitted to The Bar.—Mr.
J. Sandy Crawford, one of the
best stenographers in this sec
tion and a hustling law student
underwent a rigid examination
before his Honor, Judge Henry,
and a committee of able lawyers
of the Rome bir and was admit
ted to practice, this afternoon.
Sandy Crawford has lived in
Rome for the past two years and
in that time has made many
friends. They will congratulate
him on his success in today’s ex
amination and in the lucrative
practice he is certain to build
