A breezy letter from “J- A. W.” who

k£g ingly and hies hi-selfhomewar*.
On the road. Feb. 2nd. IS9<
Editor Hustler:
I left Rome
Monday evening at 4:45 p.m. and
after a smooth run to Ooltawah
we changed c<ra and in thirty
fiveminutes we ran into Cleveland,
where the train stops for supper.
I stopped at the DeArmen Hotel
for the night where I received all
necessary attention by mine host
DeArmon, who was a passenger
conductor on the E. T, V. <fc Ga.,
road fora number ot years. Many
a traveling salesman hae a w arm
place in his heart for this old con
ductor for his uniform kindness
od the road, to them.
With a span of good horses and
a “coon” that knew how to handle
the “strings” I glided along over
the hills and valleys, Tuesday
morning, to Swans 10 miles South
of Bentun where I feasted on back
bones, sausage and good country
livin for dinner.
At one o’clock my “coon” pulled
the “strings and about 3:40 we
stopped at Benton fifteen milea
East of Cleveland. As I looked
away to the East of Benton my
eyes beheld a sight that was pic
turesque and dazzling; a sight
that would charm an artist or any' |
one else as to that, who has the (
•apacity to admire in all its beau—i
ty. The Chilhowee Mountains’
were covered with the leautiful
enow and the iefl*ction of the |
bright morningeun upon the snow
was a suhlime picture.
I crossed the line three miles from
Benton and wefit up to Savannah the
bead of navigation on the Hiwassa
river; then back to Benton. From
Benton to Athens by R R. At Athena
Tenn., I visited McAlmees cotton sac
tory, I also found a second cotton sac ,
tory and a woolen faetory at Athens,

From Athens I took the little Tel

the Marietta & North Ga. R R which
is now completed to Knoxville

ROME GEORGIA.
A CARD.
I notice in a little sheet called
the Southern Argus, published in
this city, an article which contaii s
• this paragraph.
“It has been rumored that
Clerk Nevin will be opposeed for
relection by Editor Byrd of the
Hustler.”
i The entire article, of which the
, abeve is a part, iscalculat-'d to in
jure the cause of the John D.
Moores ticket, and the language
above quoted, meant to impress
on the voter’s mind, that * the
, stand the Hustler of Rome has
taken for that ticket, has a selfish
m jtive I ehind it.
Once and for all, I wish to say
for myself and for the Hustler of
Rome that I am a candidate for
no office, nor has the Hustler ever
contained one line calculated to
advance my interests in apolitical
way.
Further, I wish to say that the
individual who sta r ied the above
‘rumor 11 is an infamous liar, bent
on mischief, and only worthy of
the contempt of houest men. and
an editor who will publish such a
‘ rumor,’' when he has every facility
of easily “running it down” and
verifying or exploding it, is in the
same boat with the cur who gave it
life and started it on its lying car
reer.
If I believed, or any one will
•how me, that Mr. John D. Moore
or the gentlemen on his ticket, ai •
making any promises of office to
any one. then will the Hu-tleb of
Rome withdraw its support fr m
I the ticket, Until then, the paper
'is with the ticket at its mast head.
■ most respectfully
Phil! G Byrd,
for Self and Hustler.
AN EARLY BLAZE.
An ol© fire trap neak thx Gas works
BURNED.
Yesterday morning, about 7 o’clock
fire alarm was rung in from box 21
1 In a very few moments No 2 wag
on was on the scene and some min
utes later No 1 arrived.
The fire was in a little two room
fire trap next dooi to the Gas house
on West First street, and just in rear
of the Berry-Terhune hardware
store*
It was an ugly little blaze when No
2 arrived but the flames were kept
from spreading to the other old build
ings near and were soon controlled.
When Mr. John Childs of the Gas
works appeared on the scene some
one had removed some bed slats and
old quilts from the burning building
a ud had placed them beside the Gas
house engine room, and they were
burning briliantly.
The house was the property of Mr.
M. F. Govan, and was not insured —
but though it burnt, the damage to
him is slight.
It was occupied by two famalies of
Negroes and they succeeded in es
caping whithout saving anything at
all or very near it.

, A
DEATH OF MRS. IRBY.
Mr. J. A. Henderson, returned
from Kingston yesterday, where he
bad gone to attend the funeral of his
grandmother Mrs. Dr. Wm. Irby, of
South Carolina.
Mrs. Irby, at the time of her death
was on a visit to relatives. She was a
very old woman—being an aunt of
Senator Irby of South Carolina.
Her funeral was very largely at
tended and many gathered around
her grave to see the loved rem ains
laid tenderly to their long rest.
CORBETTS RETURN.
The correspondent of the follw
ing incident of the return of the
world’s champion slugger:
“There was one man in the par'-y
who bears a resemblance to Cor
bett, and he made things merry.
When the train would stop at asta
tion, and the crowd would insist
that Corbett should show himself,
this man who looked Ike him
would go out to the platform and
stand bowing and scraping while
the people cheered When they
would insist on a speech, as they
did at Wilmington, N. C., this lov
er of fun would make one.
“Gentlemen,” he would say in a
hoarse tone of voice. ’’ you are my
friends, lam glad Io see you here
I must say, though, that I will he
much gladder to get out of this
town. lam so hoarse that I can
not make much of a speech, but. I
can lick any man in this crowd!”
Then everybody would djoer, and
the joker would continue to ' >w : s
the train would move away.’ -
