Rome Ga. Jan 23 1894 Editor Hustler or Rome. You are hereby authorized to announce this ticket to the voters •of Romo, subject to their action in the coming municipal election, Asking their support, we pledge our beat effort, individual and com 'bined, to the tervices o' le eople and to the upbuilding of our city. Respectfully, FOR MAYOR JOHN I). MOORE. FOR AIDERMEN First Ward—A. B. McArver, Second Ward —W. J Neel, Third Ward —Henry Stoffragan. Fourth Ward—Walter Harris, Fifth Ward —T. J.

Give us the ten per cent off of State banks and we of the South will tote our own skillet and do pretty well, thank you “Z . ■n" •John D. M >ore will cury every ■vote in the First Ward except twenty five. He will carry the Second Ward He may loose the Thirl Ward but i will baby less than 40 voters lu hi own, the Fourth \\ ard he may loose fifteen votes but the balance will be unanimous and the Fifth Ward will ->e about the same in his favor. John Meors will be the next Mayor of Rome aud when the polls are counted the above will not be far from right.' Moore's ticket will be with him. Congressman Maddox delivered a speech in the House on Tuesday night in favor of the income tax. The Washington correspondent of the Constitution says it is one of the “strongest speeches yet made in favor j of the income tax. Judge Maddox is m orator of considerable ability and by his speech demonstrated that Georgia ha* in him a man who prom sts to take high rank in the House. ” < AMONG THE PaINCES. E litor Byrd ouce in a while plungis into the Etowah and f swears it. Is Philip a sheriff?— . . v I < Augusta News. No. he is a d» j ad game sport and a plunger. His fatherly advice to Rome is “Dam the Etowah!” o "He stepped up to the wi< ket, And liought a prize tight ticket, F'irthe value ot a house and corner lot. But when his wife asked for two quarters, T" assist the good Ling’s Daughters, He declared that he teas bankrupt on the spot." | TIMZS . ,? Editor Moore of the Macon News j says: “Tuat wandering minstrel, the Phil-Glen-Bird, of the High tower, has slipped his trolley on the gubernatorial question.” Yes, but we all hope that “some day lie’ll wander bactc again.”— Augusta News. And when we do, you fellows will be a devlin after us to buy you a bow wow, — but you wont be “ai it” wuss a cent. o If an old maid is fond of kats, would’nt an old mermaid be find ofkatfish?—Hustler or Rome. If so, should a self-made maid be fond of tailors goods. This ia notirony.— Atlanta Journal. If she were self made would’nt she have a right to suit herself. o Going on a “lark” and rising with that kind of fowl are two sep arate and distinct branches of bus iness.—Hustler of Rome.* That joke has the apperance of having been foully dealt with. — Atlanta Journal. It may be a little “fly” for some “roosters,” but the “duck” that “swallows” it wont eat “crow,” » ’ o Rain, hail, spring breezes and a winter blizzard —thi t was the j weather record in Atlanta yester day.—Constitution. And the Harry Hill trial pro- 3 ceeded. B o A Chattanooga man has bee > slain and robbed by Mexicans, It 1 must have been a hard corner 1 wheq a Chattanooga man ceuld’nt 3 workout—Times Advertiser. PURELY POLITICAL. s j Some ft w Georgia papers thst 1 are supporting Mr. Atkinson for ‘ governor are seeking t« prejudice the people who do not reside in the cities and towns with the threadbare demagogic appeal that 1 the city people want Evans, but 1 the country people are fe>r Atkin * son —Augusta Herald . Dont you believe it sonny, the Atkinson papers don’t know of any city folks who are solid for Evans except Atlanta and Augusta, and we hare our doubts about the sol idity of even these Evansceot I strongholds. The people know that Atkinson defeated theAugua taian for apeaker, and sat down on the Atlanta poor house soldiers , home, scheme, and are making due . allowances for opposition from these quarters. General Evans seems to be the almost unanimous choice of both the people and the papers for gov-| ernor. The christ lan warrior-states-j man will have a walk over.—At—j lanta Journal. “Christian”— ves, “warrior'’— ' he did his duty—but '“Statesmen” since when. Will the Jourt a' tell us how the general stands on silver and things? How it can abuse the Constitution and swallow the Constitution candidate? Why not' join tno Constitution and implore! Mr. Atkinson to “come down*’ “Oh dam —the Etowah.” In the nomiration of General Evans party harmony can ed, and the democracy can go into the election with its ranks uu- , broken and with the confi ience of i a notable victory.—Constitution. ' Has the Constitution forgotten the Campaign of '92 —How does it ! know that General Evans could' 'duplicate that fight, Whats the old politician of another genera tion done for Democracy for the past thirty years—ls you want I “party harmony” so lad, whats the' matter with General Evans com ing out of the way ! Corbett, the bank clerk, can now 1 open a bank cf his own. < OUR WARLIKE GOVERNOR. Dublin New Era: The spectacle pre rented by Governor Northen, run ning up and down the Georgia-Fiori da line, hat in hand, and followed by ( two or three companies of soldiers, in his frantic efforts to shoo aw.y the two stall-fed thugs who want to pound each other, is extremely ludicrous.Go back to the capital, governor;you are making yourself extremely ridiculous Jonesboro Enterprise: Governor Northen went out in search of cheap nottorety this week. We wen s irpris . ed to learn that he hrd gone to Way cross to prevent the Corbett-Mitel e 1 tight occuring in Georgia. His better judgement surely didn't carry him there. When properly viewed, thi» conduct on the part of the governor will necessarily be termed silly .There was no excuse for it whatever. Valdosta Times: Because it was re ported that two toughs were going to slip out of Florida into the Okefeno kee jungles and indulge in a boxing match,was net,in our judgment, suffi cient reason for the governor of Georgia to leave his post of civil duty in Atlanta and opea military head quaitere in Wayeross. We do not defend or condone prize' fighting. We are glad that there are Uwe against it and we think the laws ought to be enforced—by the sherffs, as contemplated by the law. ftI'BKRNATORIALLY SPEAKING. Is it a crime for a young man to announce himself a candidate for governor of Georgia simply be c use by reason of his age he did not get a chance to serve in the late war between the states?—Ro berta Correspondent. The State needs to elect a gov I ernor for what he will do; no; for • what he has done.—Woodberry Messenger. The true exponents of pub'ic opinion in Georgia ar« the conn iry newspapers aud it is significant that ’a decided majority of the leading weeklies have already de clared for Atkinson for governor No candidate in the state ever had a more flattering support than Mr. Atkinson has rereived thus fa from the country press,—Newnan Herald. For a candidate to ask a nomi nation at the hands of the Denao “ cratic party because of its nearness I to the party’s enemies is a piece of t unpardonable impertinence which . the party will resent in away that will be pleasant for said candidate > —Fort Gaines Herald But no fight is being made upon ’ the sacred remembrances of that try- I ing period—far from it. The fight is for the recognition of the worth and abilities of the younger Democrats of the state who have demonstrated their party zeal, and wheredy reason of their past.training in the management of state affairs, are full fitted to occu py public offices. Mr. Atkinson’s pros pects of success iu his gubernatorial j campaign are brightening every way, ; if we take the utterances of the news -1 papers throughout the state as an in j dication, which are infallible indices i of public opinion.—Columbus Led i ger. , Just such “boys” as Bill Atkinson j ‘ raved the state for the Democratic ' i party by r 2,000 majority in 1892. while Gen. Evina was letting politics severely alcne. If party allegiance counts for anything then Atkinfoa de serves more at the hands of the par ty,—Senoia Enterprise. ■■ The “good times were i shipped via: Registered letter— aid the letter has been delayed, but will arrive ii. time—just keep a stiff upper lip aud wait.

Atlanta and “lord’ Beresford j have more gall than Ciasar ever | konkered. “Fur the sake of harmony” say» the Coustitutioa, “let Atkinson come down and give General Ev-j ans a waik over.” Suppose the . Constitution makes General Evans come down aud let us have harmo ny. The Constitution might, it discovered the generals war claims and j ut him in the The contemptable curs, who by stealth and ia secret are circulating the report that Mr. Atkinson is an infidel are hirs of the first water. Mr. ! Atkinsen is a Christian gentleman and a member of the Presbyterian church. He is in good standing too — • but he is not running for Governor • on his religion— He is tbo people’s ? choice and as such, will be elected - Mi.
