THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THIRD year. w. One oflhe Hustler. Correa pondent views it. jy IHETENNtSSE MOUNTAINS. A breezy letter from “J- A. W.” who doo « rerublion territory and Urns 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, R. D. Vandyke of Rome has a stock fann here. From Athens I took the little Tel lico Road and visited Bry ant Bros.eot ten factory near fellico Junction on the Marietta & North Ga. R R which is now completed to Knoxville Returned to Athens where I boarded a kne parlor car O'i the old reliable ET.V.<t G. R. R. for Chattanooga. The E . T.

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. SUNDAY MORMNG FEBRUARY. 4. 1894. W Olt And Trolly and Fan Boxes Supp'ancs Conductors. ON THE ELECTRIC CARS. Hard Timas are Abroad but The Street Gars Will Continue to Ruu Only a few Have Qujt. Half a J.oaf la Better Than None. The Rome Eletrict Street Car under the new order of things has taken reef ijthe sails of its ex penses and proposes to live inside its income. Yesterday Fair boxes were put on two of the cars and “trollv boys* 1 put on in place of conducton and on those cars the passenger puts his fare in the box. the old fashioned way. Salaries and wages were cut all along the line, from Eelecfricaii, down. Mr, Jack King Hie Princi pal stock holder in the road was out of the city yesterday and could not be seen but it seemed to be understood that the cut was to put. ruuing expenses within the limit of tbe receipts, No siirke or threatened strike resulted and the op iratives seam ed to think that a half loaf whs better than to loaf all the time and get no loaf. , 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.’ - A B. McARVER & Co. The Entire Stock of Dry Goods.
