It has th combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial and is THE OFFICIAL UAZETTE OF 'The City of Rome The City Marshal 1 The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, THE IIUSTLER-COMMERCIAI has the confidence of the classes and the masses—because it mer its and deserves the confidenc* 1 of all its readers. Now is the time to tell youi neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber Well Mr. President, what are you driving at? The war muddle deepens—on with the rnixtry. J Whitcomb Riley the Amer ican poet is heading south. McKinley is short on backbone and long on “discussion.” Which side does McKinley pro pose to whin, Spain or Cuba? ' - - Spain is to have her own sweet way. Let th» butcheries proceed. And now the question is. “What do the powers mean to do about it!” A fair field and no favors and you can never down a laboring man. . , V- McKinleyites who want topraiae the president now have an additi onal “ poor h-xcuse.” Some of the members of the local military are eager for war aud— there are others. You Uncle Allen sits steady in the boat and is riding the crest ol the wave. He will be the only gubernatorial candidate to make the landing on March the 1 6th. Mark that prediction, THE GAME WILL NOT WORK. ' “People of Georgia believe in fairness. It is not fair for two, candidates to combine against one. And yet that is being done. A supporter of Atkinson for gov ernor in Elberton said a few days ago that he would see to it that ' there would be no Atkinson tickets voted if Berner had a < show to carry the county, no Berner tickets were cast if At kinson had the best chance of defeating Candler. In Elbert county we believe , Candler will double the combine vote of bcth his opponents, but l in some close counties the friends of the two Dromios may be able by similiar methods to defeat the champion of lower taxes, the exponent of honest politics and clean methods, and ' a believer in a fair fight.”—El berton Tribune. ___________ i STAND BY THE OLD SOLDIER Despite a morbid sentiment 1 existing in some quarters antag- 1 oulstic to any further recogni- 1 tion of the claims of the old con federate veterans, it is not reas onable to believe that the time lias yet arrived when the people of Georgia will defeat a man simply because he is a veteran If he is capable and worthy, can there be any good reason why the old soldier should be relegated. Is he to be proscribed now becuuse he has a few grey hairSj a scar here and there, and i record for loyalty and courage in the days of his county’s need? Surely we can accord him fair treatment, at least, and refrain from assailing him on the sple score that the war is over.— Jonesboro Enterprise. MISS FIELD'S HISTORY ADOPTED. The board of education of Lampkin county has unani mously' adopted Miss A. L. Field’s grammar history of the United States for use in the common schools. The course was adopted after careful examina tion of all the other school his tories. It is an honest conpli menl to the author, who is a native of Dahlonega and an up to-date teacher, occupying a prominent place in the faculty of the Agnes Scott institute.— Times Recorder. Perhaps when General Lee re turns to Havana, Blanco will not be “too busv to see him.” June 7 next has been sat apart in WiscTnsin as a special hol iday. It will be the fifteenth an niversary of the founding of the State.

Judge Atkinson and Senator Berner are yearning so intensely for joint debates it is a wonder that they don’t arrange one or two between themselves.—Jones boro Enteiprise. As a historical sketch McKin ley’s message was down to date — but the good Lord deliver I American honor frr m th? debauch- j ing influences of a McKinley as a history maker. Gen.

We suspect, indeed, that this resentment of his language is largely due to the fact that they are conscious of in tending to practice upon him tricks and manners shrewd enough doubtless.but not at all ingenious, —Augusta Chronicle, coo According to the State Auditor of North Carolina more money was paid to the employes of the State Senate at its late session than was paid to the Senators themselves. One of the State papers says that even the latter were overpaid. 000 A novel illustration of the dif ference between old time and modern muhods for the care of the insane wiU be a feature of the International Health Exposi tion to be held in New York this morth. In one of two booths placed side by side will be shown the strait-jacket and other appar atus used in making the patient helpbss. The other booth will re present a room in one us the State Hospitals, furnished for the com fort, protection and kindly care of a violent pa i mt. 000 The first duel know to have taken place upon Ameaican soil occurred in 1630, when Edward Doty and Edward Leister, ser vants of a New England colonist named Hopkins, fought over spine trifling matter with swords Neither was seriously injured, but both were severely punished by the provincial authorities for participating in the affair. 000 La j Union Constitucional, a Havana paper, tells its readeis that the Americans are “a people who have come into possesssion of an extensive ter ritory through extermination of the aborigines,” and that “they are industrious because of lack of charitable feeling, for all starve in the United States who become penniless.” The sneer abojut the “exterminotion of the aborigines,” conning from a Spaniard in Cuba, seems to be another case of the pot calling the kettle black. • oo Owing to the prejudice of the Chinese against railroads, great difficulty has been experienced in the laying out of the line be tween 1\ king and Hankow, The route is very circuitous, and the surveyors spent several months in locating and driving the nec essary stakes. When they at tempted to go nver the line a second time for the purpose of making certain changes they found that every one of the stakes had been carefully remov ed and every other land mark obliterated. The governor of the province thereupon issued an edict prohibiting further inter ference with the surveyors under penalty of death, and two-thirds of the work had to be done over) again. ' ‘ THE HONOR OF SPAIN.” Krom the Lowlands risiUKjh'gb as the wi ius go Willing by, Comes a c am ir and a knell That of Alva ti-rce doth tell; Loud ’he peaceful burghers groan, f aint the Felemiah maidens groan, Fire ami sword, and tears, and pain, Mark the honor of old Spain. From the Inqulsii ion’s tack, Down the bigot's bloody tiaok, Countless ghosts that shriek and quake Tell of knife and cord ano stake. Darkest hour that laud e'er knew. In His i ame tney racked and slew; By the blazing stake so plain Read the honor of old Spain. On the burning soil they lie. Gasping things that sob and die; Forms that scarce a shadow cast, Men fr< m whom we shrink aghast, Mothers, babes, In living death Struggling for the tieeiog breath, In starvation's awful train, Great.the honor of old Spain I —Cleveland Plain Dealer. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Wheelmen toil and they also j spin—yarns. The average fish story is a ro mance of real life. Writers cramp may affect either the wrist or stomach . False teeth are iuver perfect unless they appear imperfect. It makes a man feel cheap when a woman calls him dear in public. It is often hard to bring a girl of the period to a full stop. Boils are not considered fashion able but they are always swell affairs. More than a fair profit is re alized on the articles sold at a church fair. After a girl marries she begins to lose interest in cur) papers and love stories. Some politicians, like corkscrews, are more or leas crooked, but they have a strong pull. The telephone girl has a speak ing acquaintance with a great many people tha’ she don’t reccg nize. There are a million reasons why a man can love an heiress and each one ot them the siz > of a dollar. Mankind is divided into two classes—those who earn a living without getting it and those who get a 1 ving without earning it.— Chicago News. Major Joseph B. Cumming, of Augusta, Ga., said in the course of an address recently delivered at Savannah that he was at a loss to understand the mad passkn of the Souinern people to be called colonel. “It is a form of mild dementia.” he asserted, “sinking to the grade of imbecility and idiocy. It baffles explanation.” It is evident that Major Cumming does not contemplate participation in the politics of his State. REDUCED RATES. On account of the Qiiadrenqi al General Conference of the M.
