the HUSTLER OF ROME. THIRD year. ftM’bTIUL He Favors the Funkhouser Advertising Scheme. aN d makesluggkstions Th at. acted upon, must do Home and j-lavd county untold Rood. Lets nake gp and move forward into li if. Mr. Fuukhouser’fl suggestion for advertising Rome and Floyd coun ty i 8 wise and timely, and should be acted upon, Au attractive pamphlet of fifty pagee, containing bright, crisp ar tides ou our varied industries, re eourcee and advantages, with some appropriate illustrations and cuts, would supply an urgent demand and serve a useful purpose. 4 4 + ♦ 4- 4- Rome ha? made a noble, neivy, and winning fight against the ravages of the panic. We show a record that cannot be easily matched, and our citizens are plucky and patriotic. But our public spirit needs to bestirred a little just now. We have a right to expect better things for our city in the near future. We have been twappingdollars among ourselves of late ; not many new ent *rj r see starting up; not much fresh blood coming in; not much foreign cap ital and muscle comii g mr way f + f 4- 4- + We ought to throw’ out the pick et line and prepare for an advance. There is uot a dollar to spend on foolishness, and no good citizen desires io make any extravagant promises or encourage ’he devel opement of anything like a boom. But a plain, clear statement of facts, present'd in concise and readable shape, would be worth more to us. Let me elaborate this icheme just a little, and see if it don’t commend itself to your fa vorable consideration. The pur pose of the book would be,of course to advertise our city and county, and not to advertise individuals. It is to be home-made through and through, written by home folks; illustrated by home artists, and printed by home printers. No long, heavy articles set in solid type; but bright, short statements of fact set in clear, leaded type; to be read by the busy pract’cal man out ■ tin. + + + 4 + + Suppose, then Prof. J. C. Har ris should be asked to write an article on our sch sol facilities. One of the first inquiries of the lome-huuter is, “What about schools? Will my children have good educational facilities?’’ Prof Harris could present thia matter clearly, attractively, truth fully. His article should tie lib a - with a cut of Shorter Col- W. A. RHUDY. Furniture and Undertaking, Carpetsand Matting. I COZRJSTBZIEi- 33 t 7, BBOADSIL ROME GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING JANUARY. 30. 1894, lege and the public school building t ♦ t Major Ayre or Dr. Hillyer could present our railroad facilities, showing the roads passing through or centering here, together with the advantages of our river trans portation. This arcticle could very appropriatly be illustrated by a map of Rome, with the railroads and rivers clearly marked. ♦ ft ▼ T ♦ Col C. M. Harper would, I am sure, be glad to furnish a paper on the vast and varied mineral re sources of the county, a subject to which he has given much thought and research. A shaded map, show ing irou, manganese, marble, bauxite and other mineral despos its, would be a suitable illustra tion for this article. ::: I Col. Dave Shelton or Capt. Lind sey Johnson could write a very interesting paper on agriculture and the diversified products of our soil, including dairying, stock farming, fruit-raising and the manufacture of domestic wines This is a most attractive topic and could be beautifully illustra ted with cuts of home-raised fruit and live stock. + + + 4* ▼ ▼ Mr. Hughes or Mr. King would be glad, I know, to write.of our i>.inks and banking facilities. Cu s of the two handsome bank build ings, or of our two enterprising bank presidents would suitably illustrate such an article. t ‘+ + 4* 4* 4 The wholesale and retail trade of II >me could be fully represented by Mr. Tedcastle and Mr. Parks, or by Bob Vandike and Dave Curry, giving cuts of some of the handsome stores of the city. t:: Judge Branham or Col. Alexan der could furnish an interesting article on the bar. Dr. Batty or Dr. Holmes would write up the health, climate, and sanitary conditions of ’his delight ful section, and also the unequal— -1 d medical advantages afforded in Rome for the sick or diseased. it: There are many reasons why such a pamphlet could be printed and distributed with profit. As Mr. Funkhouser suggests, there are numerous inquiries and requests for information that ci.n not be easily condensed into a letter, this book would supply the demand. The Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta next fall, of which Floyd will make a grand display and take first honor, will be a gr at distributing point for a hand book of Rome and Floyd county. Fairs and expositions are an nually being held in ditierent points of the country and thou sands attend them seeking m orm ation, and prospecting for h >m The South is now a’tricting at tention because of her splendid record during the panic, and the drift of emigration. Rome should plant her ban: er on the outer walls and pr s nt herself in the most attractive way I’m ready— hard up as lam to subscribe to Mr. Funkhouser’s scheme, and I most earnestly hope it will meet with popular favor and liberal subscriptions.
