J. L Bass, head of Bass Bros & Co’s., big] stores, where I had gone in quest of “copy” for a change in the half-page ad of that big mercantile concern, (the ad will be changed tomorrow, Keep an eye for it,) and saw my old friend F. J. Kane, at his old post. * * * It seems but a month since Frank held a responsible posi tion behind those same counters, though in reality it has been about three years. In that time he has operated one of the best dry goods houses that has ever opened its doors to the Rome trade. * * * A few days ago he made a lightiiing-iike change, failing to buy out the Bass Bros & Co’s., big retail house, he made Capt. Joe Bass an oiler on his own big stark of good-, and the trade w.,s closed instanter. * * * Yesterday the last of this big stock was moved to Bass Bros, &Co., and today Frank Rank is at his old post, only now he is in charge of Ike sales depart ment of the Bass Bros & Cos’ tremendous stock of bargains. * * * I don’t believe there is a bet ter posted, more thorough dry goods man in Georgia than F. J. Kane, young man though lie be. In securing him Bass Bros & Co,, have scored as big a scoop as they did in securing the big stock of F. J. Kane & Co. * * * Isay this because Frank Kane’s popularity is permanent. and scores and hundreds of his personal Lionels will continue to patronize him at his new' place of business. * * * I congratulate Bass Bros, & Co., upon securing the servic es of so popular and so efficient a young man as Frank Kane— they could not have put a better man in charge of their great sales department. * * * As to the sale of the superb stock of F. J. Kane & Co., why you take my advice and lookout for the Bass Bros & Co., an nouncement in tomorrow after noon’s Rome Hustler Commer cial . It’s iny opinion that said announcement will be sensation al enough to overshadow' the war news. Mind you, that’s my opinion ventured for what it’s worth. ■■ " ■ 1 ■ ■» ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE Agreeably to an order of the court of ordinary for Floyd county Georgia, granted at the November term, 1897, will be sold before the court house door in the city of Roma between the legal hours et sale ou the first Tuesday in Sept the following property towit, —One undivided 2->5 interest in lots Nos, 167, 168, 171, 190, 192. 202, 241, 242, 244 245 and 3 4ths of 189 and the South half of 240. ,All containing 450 more er leas, subject to dower of Mrs. Martha G.

RELIABILITY " is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in they days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth and a great deal for temporary sensation. It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD. The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability. It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth * about it. C it is the only American newspaper outside New York dty t that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and iti J own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both hemispheres. It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world, j Its war news service is unapproachably the best. j Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier: •‘We read the war news in the other papers* then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to see how much of it is true.” Sold by newsdealers everywhere a»d subscriptions’ r * !M, **j . by all postmasters.
