Data of Interest.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of Rome.
' Gentlemen: —Our last annu d
report made one year ago, gave a
1 statement of the man
,2ement of the Water Depart
ment from April Ist, 1896 to
April Ist 1897.
For the year from April Ist,
1897 to April Ist, 1898, we beg
10 report as follows: For the
pumping station we have made
many improvements, renewals
aud betterments, and at this
time it is in good condition, in
cluding all machinery therein
connected. The reservoir has
been emptied and thoroughly
acrubbed, made perfectly clean
and white-washed. The pipeline
11 in good order and has less
leakage than at any time prior
to this date. The extention of
this pipe line has added an addi
tional number of consumers,and
the placing of tire hydrants has
given fire protection to a large
amount of property not hereto
fore protected.
At our meeting in October last
an order was passed instructing
the Secretary to notify all con
sumers that on and after Janua
ry let, 1898, the ordinance re
quiring payment in advance for
quarterage would be strictly en
forced. This has been done and
has resulted in great good to the
department.

Few men in this country who
have lived to “clear the eight
barred gate which not many
come in sight of, and fewer go
over,” have enjoyed more of the
blessings of a long, active, well
spent life than Patrick A. Dona
hoe, the founder of the Boston
Pilot.
In every city, village and
hamlet throughout the several
states and territories of the Un
ion, where the Irish-American
people have settled, the name of
Patrick Donahoe is spoken with
respect, admiration and affec
tion.
More than half a century ago Mr.
Donahoe established the Pilot.
In 1870 he engaged John Boyle
O’Reilly, who was its brilliant
editor for twenty years.
To every good cause and to
every charity lie has been a gen
erous subscriber. Scarcely a
Catholic church in New England
that has not been a recipient of
bis bounty.
Mr. Donahoe is now eighty
six.
The following open letter, sent
to Wells, Richardson & Co., is,
in fact, addressed to the thous
ands of friends all over the land,
in whose hearts and homes Pat
rick Donahoe has found so large
a place.
I recently suffered from pros
tration brought on by a protract
ed illness of a very trying char
acter, and at the suggestion of
friends who were believers in
your remedy (Paine’s celery
compound) I was induced to
give it a trial. I am happy to say
that the result was most satis
factory , and 1 felt its good effect
immediately. Hence lam able
to recommeed its use in cases

like mine, where tMb nervous
system, from any cause, is run
dowi\and needs a reliable tonic.
I a~i happy to state that two
members of my family have
used Paine’s celery compound
with the most gratifying results.
My daughter-in-law, Mrs. P. M.
Donahoe, has received the most
pronounced results from its use,
whilst my son, J. Frank Dona
hoe, the organist of tlie Cathe
dral, is loud iu its praise, having
found it a great help in Regain
ing his’strengt.h from overwork
in his profession.
Yes, I believe in Paine’s cel
ery compound.
Patrick Donahoe.
Three-fourths of all the aches,
pains and disabilities that aged
persons suffer from arise plainly
from retarded circulation. The
blood stream gets choked with
an accumulation of waste mat
ter that declares its presence in
twinges of rheumatism, lumbaga
neuralgia and inability to sleep.
All these unnatural conditions
can be corrected and permanent
ly done away with by vigorously
cleansing the blood and regulat
ing the tardy circulation. Paine’s
celery compound is pre-eminent
ly capable of doing this beyond
any other remedy.
There is nothing vacue about
the sort of “good health” that
is promised by Paine’s celery
compound and vouched for by
men and women who have used
it. It means, among other things,
firmer nerves, completer diges
tion, sweeter breath and more
regular bodily functions. Paine’s
celery compound secures these
where other remedies fail, be
cause Paine’s celery compound is

the discovery of a great physi
cian. who knew all that the
school and text books could teach
him, but more than that, he
knew sick men and women, as
few physicians in any age have
known them. Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of the
Dartmouth medical school, was
able to drive out disease from
the system, because he khew
where the disease was lodged
and how to help the excretory
organs, instead of confusing
them so’as in uiy illogical reme
dies do in their effort to cleanse
the blood. Paine’s celery com
pound encourages and strength
ens the kidneys, and enables
them to cleanse the blood of its
waste, poisonous matters that
are the direct cause of drewnsi
ness, listlessness, melancholia,
blood diseases, wasting sickness
es, headaches and that general
“run down” condition that
opens the door to definite organic
diseases of the heart, kidneys or
stomach, especially when a per
son is advanced in years and no
longer possessed of the abundant
energy that characterizes youth
alone.
Paine’s celery compound
makes the blood a bright red
color, increases its volume in the
arteries and quickens its circula
tion, and enables a nerve-tired
person to sleep eight or nine
hours at a stretch. Every man
or woman whose nervous
strength is at all overtaxed, or
whose life is a busy one in many
directions, will feel the invigor
ating, vitalizing effect of Paine’s
celery compound, and see his or
her health mend from the first
use of this greatest of all known
invigorators and remedies.

HOTSHOT FOR ATKINSON
Gives Forceful Reasons For
Change of Front.
In common with a number of
papers in the state, the Journal
hm a number of times spoken of
Judge Spencer Atkinson as an ex
cellent gentleman. In making
these comments we were guided
by the remarks of those who had
knotv n him and had spoken of
h>m in the highest terms.
After making his canvas and
writing a few Etters we are con
strained to change our opinion ot
the man and givH it a* our best
judgment that he is utterly unfit
to be governor ot the great state
of Georgia His letter ; n reply to
the courteous note of Col • Cand
ler, in which he made a bitter per
sonal attack unon that brave, hon
est and gallant soldier, shows to
what a depth a designing politi
cian can stoop.
It m«y have been that at one
time Judge Atkinson was a good
man. but the continued associa
tions with that gang of political
marplots down at Brunswick led
by Jake Beach and others of his
ilk, has corrupted him completely
and has made him utterly unfit to
fill the governor’s chair.
Contrasted with him is that
excellent gentleman, who never
loses his temper, who believes in
wisdom, justice and moderation, a
man of the people, who knows
the people’s wants and the peo
ple’s needs. Col, Candler is not
tied up with a gang of corrupt
place hunters, but is the candidate
of the people agair st the gang w';o
want to control.
Governor Atkinson has made a
good governor, but the people are
not willing that he name bis suc
cessor and Atkinson, together with
his running mate, Berner, will be
buried under an avalanche off
votes.
Here's to Col. Candler, the
noblest Roman of them all, and
may he be elected by a hundred
thousand majority.—Leo County
