The Hustler-Commercial is the only afternoon paper ip Northwest Georgia. It has tlt» combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial, and is THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF The City of Rome The City Marshal The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co. The Hustler-Commercial has the confidence of the classes and the masses—because it mer its and deserves the confidence of all its readers. Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber. “Remember the Maine!” will be the battle cry. The Memphis Seimiler gays that cotton is always a pacifico. Will the man who was first to how l for war be the first to vol unteer? _______ The popular name for boy Jba bies in America this tpring will be Fitzhugh Loe.—Albany Herald. Railroad Commissioner Atkin son would make a good war cor respondent for--a “YvPow Jour nal. ” War, politics and baseball! The combination is enough to make some folks want to take to the woods, —Albany Herald. “Does it look like war? Well, we shouldn't wonder! “Shake not the gory locks at me, thou canst not sa\ I did it. ” —Waycross Herald. I—JI. —~ Fortunately for Judge Maddox the Macon Te'egrapb has no circu lation among the democrats, (barring exchangee) in the Sev enth District. The old gold-bug republican sister has endorsed •‘Our John.” This would mean the political ruin of the end raee B in any community when the Tel agraph circulates. fctfSygkfrS.HOTS It is one of the anomalies of the situation that Secretary of State John Sherman, finds time to attend a meeting of the stock holders of a railway company in New York, while the Adminis tration wrestles with the ques tion of war or peace. o o o The Macon Telegraph in ex plaining away the charges that a secret conference was held be tween Messers. Atkinson and Berner in the Telegraph office, seeks to throw out the impres sion that the meeting was a lit tle before dark. The Constitu tion struck “ile” th it time and Messrs. Berner and Atkinson really held a significant consul tation. Their “desultory con vention” must have meant some thing. —Fort Valley Leader. 000 The exposure of the Atkinson- Berner secret confab at Macon, turns the light on the present status of the gubernatorial cam paign. There is a combine to defeat the people’s candidate and save the ring.—Watkins ville Enterprise. 0 o o “Spanish honor” is a myth, but when it comes to Spanish diplomacy—ah, that’s another question. o o o If by the Ist of November Cuba is not free—free of every Spaniard who now treads the soil of Antilles —free to set up a government of its own—free to bind up its wounds and to care for its stricken ones—fiee as w< are ourselves to the enjoy men' of life, liberty and happiness— the punishment which is now held in suspension for the Span iard will descend upon the head of the administration, and of ev ery public man who supports its timorous, heartless and time serving policy. 000 A Tennessee bant official says that nearly all the German (ai mers in the mountains have de posits iu his institution rangir g from a small amount to several thousand dollars. On an aver age of cnce in two years each depositor draws his (money out and returns with it within a week or ten days. The object of this peculiar transaction is that the farmer may take his money home and show it to his family as an evidence that he has it. 000 Medical circles in Berlin are much agitated over a statement made by a prominent physician of that city to the effect that the nuises iu the private hospitals are in league with the undertakers, who distribute among them circulars altering ns much as $25 byway of grat uity for a good job- It is said that this combination has been in force for half a century, and that it exists iu many of the large towns of Germany. 000 If the National Guard is ( ail ed to the front the West Pointers will find that the “Melish” knows the difference between hay-foot and strawfoot. As a mud-slinger, Railroad Commissioner Atkinson easily takes the brick mill. Col. Candler brands the charg es made by Railroad Commis sioner Atkinson, as lies out of whole cloth. The Nfew York Post is alone in its infamy. No other newspa per jn.America has cast a slur at ftrave Fitz Lee. As the Spaniards are abusing Fitz Lee, so are the treacherous bushwhackers slandering brave old Allen I). Candler. Capt. Chas. King, the famous soldier-author, has given up bis proposed trip to Europe and will hold himself ready for service in case of war. Senator Elkins save: “If we can hold Congress for two days, we’ve got it licked.” The “we” in this case means Spain, Hanna, Elkins and—but why name ’em all?—Waycross Herald. The bushwhackers in their tight on Col. Candler have blundered miserably and now see that the campaign of mis-, representation has been over done. As the campaign Col. Candler’s prospects bright ens. That he will be elected governor of Geo'-gia by a large majority now seems to be a foregone conclusion. —Americus Herald. While the naval farmers are plaining submarine mines, the planters of the South are pitch ing a big crop of gun-cotton. For the best brand of seed of this article of demand, call on or address Aiderman J. Dallas Turner, Rome, Ga. IVh< m the Gods would destrcy they first make mad —Let the hon est men who arc supporting Raii ■•oad Commissioner Atkinson bi - hold him, the tai g he is running with and the slanders he is utter ing in his desperation against oiave old Aller. D. Cardler. Your Uncle A'ien says Spencer is lying and all people who know Allen D. Candler deny the charges n toto. The railroad commission is an expert muds'inger as well as a jurist with a a weakness for writing dissenting opinions. Col. Candler’s speaking ap pointments for this week are as follows: Today. April 18th, McDonough; tomorrow, April 19th, Clinton; Wednesday April 20th, Mcßae ; Thursday, April 21st, Mt.

THE DANGER to which the Expectant Mother is exposed and the foreboding and dread with which she looks for ward to the hour of woman s severest trial is appreciated by but few.
