AN NOU Ji 1 EM ENT. Rome Ga. Jan. 23 1894, Editor Hustler of Rome. You are hereby apfthoriz d to announce this ticket to the voter® es Rome, subject to th'ir action in the coming minicipial election. Asking their support, we pledge our best efforts, individual and com bined, to the services of the people and the upbuilding of our city Respectfully, FOR MAYOR JOHN D, MOORE. For aldermen First Ward —A. B. McArver Second Ward —W. J. Noel. Third Ward—Henry Stoffregen Fourth Ward —Walter Harris. Fifth Ward —T. J, McCaffrey Fire hose are often worn at house warmings. It’s the devil who works the ed itors “write away ” Even if its her best fellow she gives a kiss, she hopes he wont “give it away.’’ Day ly day the Evans tide is untied and the Atkinson tide gains strength. When a bicyclist “humps” him self it makes a lazy man pneumati cally tired. Raised letters may be for the blind, but “raised hell” is the crop being harvested by the Tnird par tyites. What do the people of the low er countries of Georgia elect Hirer iffs for? Governor N >rthen pleas* jeply. It is not reported whether Gov Northan had leisure enough to par don any convicts during his recent visit to Waycross. Fortunately for Governor Mitch ell. Governor Northen acted the bigger fool and becomes the laugh ing stock of the Nation. The croakers never play “leap frcg” because they would have to jump up—and the croaker ain’t built that way. Georgia is going to elett her governors alphabetically from this on A kiunon, of courie. comes first, —Hale's weekly. S. B, Corn a calender clerk in the State Senate, has been arrested m Atlanta for stealing teeth. As yet no one has stolen Harry Hill’s tongue. ’ And now they tell us that when a fellow knocks and tells S'.. Peter he is from Atlanta he is told to return—he has had the best he will ever get, Atlanta is not satisli-’d with two United States Senators and a Cabinet officer, so she demands that Georgia will give her the Governor. Atlanta wants the earth put inside her fence. In the four year, ending 1891 there wtre 15,917 murders in the United States But 1,050 of ihe mur derers were ever called to account for their crimes, and of these 410 were hanged and 640 lynched. The public debt of the United States is $23 03 per capita; of Great Britiansßs.B9; of Fiance $154.08; i of Germany $35 64; and of Rusias i $18.33. So it will be seen that we < not in quite so bad a condition i the countries of the old world. < The pocti locks often pull the) teetn of a comb. . —— Trust to Chicago to do a thing up in tine shape!

'» A family named Walker, living in' M tchell county, North Carolina, [ consists of seven brothers atd five sisters, all of whom are over six feet I in he glff. One of tiie brothers is said to bt seven feet nine inches ta'l. This is a family of the longest Wa'- kers of which we have found any record. The swamp land of Florida is be ing made valuable. The State has just transferred to the Disston Land Company of Philadelphia 2,000,000 icres of swamp land, which the syn dicate has redeemed, and on which it is found that rice, sugarcane, to bacco,and sub-tropical fruits can be produced in abundance. The tract will be divided and disposed of in twenty acre farms. General Evans was a good sol died and was rewarded by being ma lea general, If he wa its to b“ governor b*t him deserve the lion or from his party, and convince the people that he is capable—un til then let him stand aside and let more des *rving men,ami states men who have proven their fitness assume the reins of the chief ex ecution. , Dr. Gatling, tbe inventor of the machine that b*ars his name, is of the opinion that there will be another war ti light between civil ized people, and that will be the ast . Europe will, he thinks.be the scene of the conflict. Modern guns orpedoes, etc,, have reduced war ■ to a cold science of destruction, » which "ill be put into practice in the next war. Aid tbe fearful slaughter that will result will so sicken the world of war, that t will refuse ever to fight again. Dr Gatling regards his own invention and the other lapid-fire guns as powerful agents in the abolition of war.

We shall expect to see a marked improvement in the edi torial and local columns cf the Triband.—Calhoun Times. Secretary Carlisl-* has announc ed a bid for $50,000,01)0 worth of 5 per cent bonds, to run ten yeais,to be issued February Ist. The pre mium demanded will make the issue 3 per cent. Congressman Maddox, of Georgia, says : “I see)’ no excuse for Secretary Carlisle 1 issuing bonds at this time. He I could have raised all the money , needed right now by the coinage t of the seigniorage in the trea-ury.”. MAYOR BOYD OF GRIFFIN. | Boyd is a democrat and of the first water. Heie is the way he, expresses himself in tin Griffin News. I and Son: Let me tell y. >u, in all seriousness continued Mavor Boyd, as the Po’iifi ■ cal reporter was stopping a mmuei.t < i to take in a sears subscription to the Weekly News and Sun, fi m J E ' Johnston, a stuidy Atkinson of a vet i eran from Hollonville; it wil be a crying shame and a disgrace to Geor 1 gia if they dout elect Will Atkinson to the governorship this year. He has gone ahead and done every t ling that could be d me for the party.—devoted his tim r , Lis talents, his influence and his money to the cause as no otl er man wo il<*—mil now for them to pick up a man who has no claim whatever and try to beat him—it makes me hot to think about it ! I tell you, Atkinson spent hun dreds of dollors of his own money —he had nobody else to draw on —to accomplish the victory of two years ago, and is just about broke today on account of it, and what did Evans ever do? If they beat Atkinson, it will be an invitation to anybody that wants honors at the hands of the party to do as lit tle as possible to deserve them and they may come to him. Atkinson would make as good a governor as the State ever had, to ». I have followed his course ever since I plowed beside him as a boy and he makes a straight furrow very time. He ought to be govern er, and he will be if the Democrats don’t go back on the best Demo crat in tbe State,” To none of this could the Politi cal Reporter dissent, but it was not in the line of his mission. Pro ceeding further he was stopped by a member of the Confederate Sur vivor’s Ascociation, who wanted . to Know if be could write a short article about, “the Evans cruz“,” as hi phrased in, without signing his name, as he did not wish to he come embroiled in politics. He ■ was assured that he could. n —— AS 10 SENATOR An enterprising Atlanta corres ’ pondent has discovered that Sen ' ator Colquitt is “unquestionably the strongest man b fore the peo ple of Georgia today and that if 1 he is physically able to hold the 1 office (of senator) there is every indication that he will succeed himself.” Wonder where the youug chap got his information? We doubt that Senator Co’quitt 1 is even a moderately strong man ’ with the people of Georgia, at this time. He is certainly unpop ular in almost every section of the State, if we judge by expressions > of tne press and the people who have openly declared themselves as against him. i Senator Colquitt is regarded rs a back number by those who have closely followed the courses if political affairs during the past few years We believe he has lost his halleluiah lick. And thtri is abundant evidence in support of this proposition. It is not our purpose to arramge Senator Colquitt. But we are wil ing to back our judgement against that of the Atlanta corres pondent, who, by the way, offers nothing in support of his conclu sions concerning the senior sena tor. Senator Colquitt may or may n >t be a candidate to succeed him seif. Ifhesbouidbe in the race, we think he will be left, unless pub i • sentiment iu this State un dergoes a decided change.—Colum- I bi s Herald. PURELY POLITICAL. What I as become of the move ment to inaugerate au Evans club in Augusta? Has the conclusion j been arrived at that Gen. Evans isabsoutely sure of R chmond’s vote and that the Evans club is not needed?—Augusta Herald. There now! Thats about, what we ’lowed. Why. from the tone of “Augusta Triplets,” the wool hat boys had no idea that there was an A'kinson man in Richmond couu- , * F ilton, Chat nan, and Richmon 1 | coun'ies are idl solid for Genera. Evans, and a Lumber of other ' cull-11 s besides. —Augusta News. ' I And don’t y"U think perhaps) you net ci a few more b‘sides the) ihrec sou have quoted?

You will need it, for the old veterans of Gordon county will vote for W. Y.

The people brought him «ut —Augusta Her ald. And when the election is O'e and the ballots of the people of Georgia have been counted, you will find that the people of „Geor gia do not live iu Auj.us a and Atlanta —and the people of Geor gia wanted, and will then have W, Y Atkinson for Governor. The Atkinson papers have much to say about the dark days of 189'2. The solidity of Georgia Democracy in that memorable year gives such buncombe a doubtful sounding,— Augus'a Hernld. That's what the United S'ates pensioners say of the days of 61 and 65 and yet but for the hard fighting the south would never have I ecn 'iV'-rconi". Perhaps J. C. C. B ack had a walkover. i The principal charges against Gen. Evans, so far, are, that he is a Methodist minister and was a . Confederate soldier. —Brunswick Advertiser. And the only charge against Mr. ; Atkinson is that he is a Democrat i and a statesman and was not old enough to fight ihe Federals, The old reb-d yell is being heard all over Georgia now.

Evans is nominated,which we consider a very remote possibility i —no paper will more ardently give him its support than the News. We ■ are for the nominee, we repeat, but i Atkinson is the logical and deserving i man for the nomination.—Walton » News. ’ Hon. W Y Atkinson spent last Sat urday night in JCedartown, and his ' coming was warmly welcomed by hie many friends here. He has given quite an ovation, and among his call ers were many of our most promi nent citizens. i Col Atkinson ixpresses himself c mfidently as to bis gubernatorial possibilities, and there is no doubt that the Atkinson sentiment is grow i s througohut the state.

The Evans organs are exercis ing themselves greatly in an if foit to make their readers believe that their favorite for guberuato r.al honors is backed by a “popular uprising.” This “uprising” connot ex e .d beyond the editoral sanctum of the papers supporting the general, in view of the statements made by Hon. Allen Candler and other we'l known public men closely in touch with the people. They fail to find any spontaneous enthusiasm for Gen. Evans among the voters, and unite in saying that Mr. Atkinson has many more friends than his opponents will admit. The effort to injure Mr, Atkin son by holding him up as au ene my of the university and confed erate veterans ou account of bis actions in the legislature will net accomplished the end sought by the Evansites. Mr. Atkinson voted against the university in behalf of the com mon schools—the schools that ed ucate the children of all the peo ple—and he has nothing to fed aihamed of in that vote. He be lieves in helping the university except where it interferes with the rights of the common people. His vote against the soldiers home was actuated by the best mo tives. Mr. Atkinson lovr-s the old veterans teo well to want to see them stand in the attitude Os pau pers to further an Atlanta scheme. He announces himself readv to help aid the veterans in their re spective home?, humble ’'hough they might be, but said he would never vote to consign them ton poor bouse Instead of feeling angry at Mr. Atkinson the veterans should honor him for bis position. Mr. Atkinson’s enemies must try other tactics besides attactiug his record as a legislator It is on *nat, will bear the most searching i ivestigation, and will always re flect credit ou the young states man. His canvass for governorihip is on the line with the people’s ideas and the probability i 8 the Evans ites will find the “popular up rising” in favor of the speaker when the convention meets next summer.—Savannah Dispatch.
