CLEAR GUT-CRISP WOBMB CHS T One of the finest views of Rome and surrounding countrys may be I had from Fort Jackson, where th® magnificent reeivoir for our new water works is situated. One evening recently Alf Har p< r and myself went out for a lit t jtuat, end directed our foot steps there. The fine woods all up ihe slopes of Fort Jackson are h« prettiest I ever saw. Th® pines are of almost uniform size with no undergrowth at all, and the ground has a soft yielding carpet of pine needles. But the crewning glory I eomes when yo» Maud with bared head upon the summit. Mountains rise tier on tier cn al! sides, until they are lost in a faint blue line in the distance. The Oostanaula winas its sinuous course, like a ribbon of silver thr< ugh rich meadow?, and as you trv to trace it back, you finally lose it in tl • mountains far to the North. Rome with its church spires, handsome stores and elegant resi dences, lies at our feet. The new court bouse is strongly outlined in the clear air, and all its grace ful, yet substantial proportions are brought into sharp relief, I turn, with reluctance, at last to descend and find Alf composing a. d impassioned ode on Spring! o o o A “prominent” young society man of Rome will give a sv e l Pretzel Tea to the boys soou. De licious refreshments, such as Bo logna sausage, limburger cheese, Hot Temolies, pretzels, and “tea,” will be served. Each guest will be r* quested to wear upon one lapel of hia c.»at a bottle of Bergin Bu gles and upon the ether a Pretzel. Just be f ore the affair is over each guest will be presented with a Tomato can filled with malted hops and half a dozen crackers, and drays have already been engaged to carry them safely heme, o o o Did you ever stop to think about how far ahead of any town in the •State Rome is in regard to h®r d ugstores? The store of Ham mack, Lucas & Co., and D. W. Currys new one at the Corner of Broad St. and Second Avenue, ar® not surpassed in the South in elegant of furniture and conv«u ieuces of the interiors. Then th-res the Rome Hardware Company. They have one of the biggest stores aud most varied a«- s rtmeuts of such goods in the whole country. And they are al ways busy sending out their wares too,and I only ask that you step iu there some day and watch for half an hour aud you will find all I say to be true. o o o An old anti-bellum d irkey iu Tailed*ga county Ala, finding his larder sorely depleted and grim want staring him in the face, ap propriated another mails hog for t is own use. He was detected in the act ( f s aying tne Porker, and w; s promptly arrested In due course of time the trial came off, and uncle Tom got up to speak in his own defense, “Fore Gawd, yo Honor, I didn't ontentionally kill dat air hawg. I was anomin er loag and he just ruu at me and tried to bite me, so I was jist erb'eged to kill it in self d-»rfeuce.“ He was convicted. J ANO. FOR ALDERMAN. I hereby announce myself a candidate for alderman from the Fifth Ward of the city of Rome. If elected I pledge myself to dis charge my dutn s to the best of my ability, irrespective of party favoritism or nationality, with equeal rights to all, and special favors to none. I promise you the above and ask you to vote for me. If it should be insiited that I was not born in Georgia, I will say in reply that it was not my fault. If I could have had my choice I would have been born in Georgia. Never theless, I am here with you as a matter of choice, Let Rome rise or fall, I am with her. All that I have is hers.
