It lias tin combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial, and is the official gazette of The City of Rome T'he 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. Lee and Dewey make a fine bat tery. Sampson ’b hair continuee to grow. Ou with the water dance The Yankee pigpen is decidedly mightier than the Spanish sword. Sampson has strained hie Ayes —looking for that disappearing Iket. The average Spanish officer set ms to be about as rank as men iu ranks, Geu. Clement A. Evans will preach tbe commencement sermod at Mercer. While Dewey was at breakfast, his friend the enemy, was having a hot tune. Having lost her laure' crown, Spain is now playing away her other crowns. Th--re is considerable talk about the United States sending a col ony of negroes to the Pphillipiuee. In the harbour of Havana there is one sunken war vessel, but in M milla Bay ten war ships have gone to the bottom, Tbe moat villioous act of the century has been followed by moat uuparaleled retribuf-ory k - Why has not Mr. Simmons, the county commissioner who is opposing Clerk of Court Beysie gel now’, not brought suit against Mr. Beysiegel compell ing him to return that $1550.15 so “illegally” obtained. Mr. Simmons has been on the board twoyears, and while making the race as a member of the “re form” ticket combination now, he seems to have neglected his duty—provided, of course, Mr. Beysiegel ought to be made dis gorge —and the “reform” organ so charges. Columbus was not a Spaniard. Just any body cant ride a Bey siegd. Who got the other third and why was he not also slandered? Steady in the boat gentlemen, those are only blanks tbe enemy is firing, Why is it the “mudslinger” doesnot tell who got the balance of that misappropriated fund? The patriotic girl continues so flash the powder on’her cheeks at the patriotic boys of the home guard Joe Rust of Kansas was tbe cook on the Olymp’a who cooked that fam lus breakfast for Deweys fighters William Krupp is the name of the first man in Boston who vol unteers to carry, agu j in the pres ent war. In proportion as the blockade becomes effective, Wtyler’s express desire to return to Cuba becomes more pronounced. A K ansas evangelist has written to President McKinley offering to raise a regiment composed exclu sively of church members. From the depths of the gutter, the men who are opposing the self styled “reformers” are pelted with filth. It d oesent stick however. ; Mu’e meat is nov served tbe people of Havana—and that’s another reason why the people of that besieged metropolis are kick ing. General Cassius M. Clay has received off j rs of marriage from thirty-one women. Uncle Cass, seems to have one aDora too much now. Railroad Commissioner Atkii - sons “venerable friend from Hall, continues to set sucn a rapid pa ce that the ‘running mates’ lose hope and heart. A Why were net these cLargi s made against Mr. Beysiegel aid Mr, McConnell and Mr J I) Tur ner two years ago when a hot cam paign was on? Why are they made now when they were not made then? What's the animus back of the last shower of mud ? Solicitor General Robert Hodg>- has enlisted as a private in the Macon volunteers and Mr. Roland Ellis will succeed him as solicitor general until the war is ever. B< b Hudges is a Georgian with a fu ture. He will be heard of at 'he top of the ladder if he live a score more years. Floyd county court officials i r certainly entitled to the hire cf convicts from Floyd s courts, if the money paid by Floyd’s board of commissioners toother countie for convicts and paid by tho.- counties to the court officials i right. Tbe Floyd court official are as good men and as worthy a the court officials of any countv . But because tbe board sees fit t rule against them and they hav - to submit, of course they becumo thieves one*, »<■ The in n who practice nefauous methods continue to ply their ar against Georgia's next governor Col. Allen I). CandLr. For several weeks, now, the, anti-Cardier papers have forgot ten to accuse your Uncle Aden of being a rai'roed president. Mark Ham a is rejoiceing over D wey’s victory. Look out. Han na has got an eye on a couple of dozen Manila plantations and a ropewalk. Some imheci'es are still won dering oyer “the loyalty of tbe south.’' Th 1 Lord is especially ki id to this country iu the matter of staying the hand of the foo l killer. The average distiller is not wor ried over the war tax on beer. The dis'illers say that war creates talk and talk Teates thirst and I murst must b quenched by the amber. Not a patriotic American be grudges a cent of the increastd taxation imp sed by the passage! of the lull carrying an appropri- [ at on at 810, j() tor medals for Dewey amt his men. A few we -j ago Great Britain was disense: ga “Great Iflouioe Doctrine” tc he ingrafted upon her policy in Asia. What does think of an extension of our Monr< e Doc'rine in t hat direction. R' ahzing that tbe fight for the governorship is a family affa r in side 'I e party, The Times has re- ' framed from espousing the cause of either candidate, but as a mat ter of news we venture the pre diction that Col. Cahdlsr will poll as many votes in Gordon county as Atkinscn ar.d Berner combined. —Ca'h mn Times. Messrs. McConnell, Turn r and Beysiegel made a race in ’94 and an ther in ’96, and by overwhelming majorities they were elected upon each occa sion. The people have passed upon the presentments of the grandjury .of April 4, 1894. And they have given their unquali fied approval to the officials now assailed. Is the motive that j prompts the present assault in-, spired by a desire for “reform.’’ j or a hope for spoils? A Jers'yman who has an eye to business has written to one of the New York papers to ask whether it is true “that” horses are to be furnished the marines.” He adds: “I have a number of good mounts I should like to dispose of to the Government at half their cost price.” The verses about “Captain •Jinks, of the Horse Marines,” an ! evidently s'ill accepted in good faith in some parts of New Jersey. READY Every expectant mother hat a trying ordeal to face. If she does not I Jr/ ph J ILh & Pt ready for it, \ I there is no telling what may happen.
