I have never before seen such
hospitality, and it will always be
to me, my visit to them, a vision
of Arcadia a dream of fairy land.
My only consolation is that their

may bs able to repay some of their
kindnesses.
I have been to hear Eugene
Field read his poems . It was quite
a treat to hear him render “Baby
boy,” and “Little Guly Goo.” He
read, very well indeed. Eugene
Field has been here for some time
for his health.
The oth»r night I went to a con
cert in a church, where they had a
SIO.OOO organ, a Baptist church,
and they played a great deal of
Wagner's music.
Wagner you know bears the
same relation to music that Brown
daes to literaturu—“dark
meat.’’ Some persons abhor Wag
tier —I love his composition*, there
i* in them an undertone of melody
that makes ma went to write, and
I see and hear the most entrauc

Next week Joa Jeflhrsan plays
here, and I shall see him.
New Oilcans will have a rare

Joe Jefferson is a pure good man
and honors his profession. If all
actors were like him, the predju
dice against the drama would some
die, and preachers would be help
ed instead of injured by actors.
1 cannot close without a word
about the flowers they are with me
the last thing at night and the
first thing in the morning.
The arbors are cevered with a
dark green vino called the “Con
federate Jaseamine” it bears a
white star shaped blossom as pure
as the lost cause for which it is
named.
lam so glad it is called “Con
federate Jassamine. How thorough
ly Southern, how intensely patri
otic. The very nama is a lesson
and a memory beautiful aud death
less.
How I de love New Orleans, be
cause she loves her own. Southern
blood flow’s hot down here.
The Lee monument rears itself
proudly to the blue sky which
covers this loyal people.
In the Washington Artillery
Hill hsre I was ehowsd the other
day the caission which bore the
corpse of Jefferson Davis. It had
the Confederate .flag thrown over
it, and no money could purchase
it, so sacred, and so tenderly
guarded it is by his former sub
j*«ts .
But I was talking about the flowers
The scarlet pom-granite is in bloom
arid the oleander trees are white with
blossom. They grow iu the yards a«d
are as large as our peach trees. The
iwaguolias grow iu the street as shade
trees, and in flower gardens too, and
to an immense height - Some times
they arc purple with th* wisteria and
some times a white aud pink rose vii e
unite their forces and climb boldly to
the top radiant with beauty, and sub
tle iu thair fragrance. Then theie
is another flower called the petaspo
rum. It resembles our euonanious t
home, and at this season it is covered
with a white creamy bloom that is
verv sweet indeed.
New Orleans is a large city the
whole parish of Orleans is incorpo
rated in the pity limits you can go
goan l never get away from the
streets and the heuses it is fifteen
miles long following the banks of the
Mivsissippi river Suppose Rome

“The talk of the town” ia the
recent, joint debate, and it takes
no practical eye to show that the
effects of that debate have beau
most favorable to W. Y. Atkinson
the people's candidate, the chum
pio> of pure Democracy.
The demonstration made by a
couple of dez- n of Evans partisa N
to prevent Mr, Atkinson making
his clohiug argument, is construed
by al! thinking men as s rong evi
donee, of the c >usci*us weakness i
of the recent “sev«sn to oue peo
ple. ’
Another straw which Las a tendei -
cy to show - the di recti >n of the wind
is the entire absceuce from the
editorial columns of the '1 ribune,
a mention of the debate, Ihe E
itor of that paper has permitl .dl
two opportunities te slip by u
has rema ned as silent as « c am.
The reporter of the Hu tlek of
Rome, in moving about the city,
comes iu contact - 'ith both sides,
and while some of the Evins peo
ple say bard aud unjust things
about Mr. Atkinson, many of them
are free iu their expression of
praise both of his d< mocracy and
his magnificent abilities a* a
rough and tumble stump sp*akbr
aud political fighter.
Os bis statesmanship, no well
informed men has yet sto»>d tip
and ascribed him any thiu fc but
honorable recogaitien.
There is ne doubt abeut it, Mr.
Atkinson has made great inroads
upon the boasted strength of hisi
oponent, aud has not only drawn
converts te his standard, but has
been reiufercsd hsaviy form the
ranks of thoso who had held aloof
for information.
Few indeed are the groups, that
can be polled, about the city where
Mr. Atkinson has not a heavy
percent in t emaj irity.
Yesterday afternoon The Hust
ler of Rome requ s»ed an Evans
man, who is also a vetteran to poll
the Graud.Jury. He iid so and
the result shows that Atkinson has
14 to Evans 9in that most rep
resentive bodv of Floyds citizens.
Again :n a poll of eight bailiff’s
who had been sworn in for this
wo k of cou t six were for Atkin
son and two for Evans.
One of the tr&vers juries stands
eleven for Atkinson, one for Evans,
while the other is five for Atkinson,
four for Evans and three non com
mittal.
Os the retiring Mayor and five Al
dermen it can be said that Mayor
King aud three Alderman are for At
kinson.
Os the five Aidermen who hold over
another year Mr. Atkinson has but
t vo.
But of the new council, Mayor
Johe D. Moore and four of t.ie five
Aldermen are Atkinson men.
On the streets, in the businesa
houses, and especially in the shops
aad factories Mr. Atkinson holds
ab >utthe same ratio “or more so.”
About the court house, where so
many country people are gathered
this week the preference for the
young statesman is decidedly strong
er than among the people of the c'iy.
Aud the Veterans, for whose
votes the old Ge jerai made such
an earnest appeal are not falling
in line in his column although
•re and all join in expretßions of
t«ud«rest love for him and respect
for his War record. Most ot them
eav he has made a good preacher [
a id he can serv« his c >untry be’-
ter t« remain iu his ex tiled posi
tion.
They agree with Junius George,
and hundreds of the go®d citizens,
who know the old genfltman well
an I lev* him dearly, but who do
m t wish to see him s.ii - ; - -n.l ar t*
tin politicians who are putting
- him forward.
Here are the names of 21 more
of the brave old veterans who were
comrades of the Genera! from ’6l
to ’65, but who have been fighting
with Bill Atkinson in all the years
since then and who like him ‘ are
veterans in the battles of democ
racy, and who say “IT* know hid
record, wo appreciate his services
and w» propose to stand to him in
this fight and see Georgia honor
herself by making him Govern
or.”

Montgomery, Ala., March 27
O: a < f the figures wha is spoken
of ake a part in the canvass is
C I! J. Tayl -r, the nsgro whom
or d»nt Cleveland appointed te
-i.'.i white republic of Bolivia, but
who failed of confirmation by the
senate. That body did net think it
advisable for a strong government
like that of the United States to
force a negro lepreeentative upon
i a weak government like that ol
Bolivia.
Taylor is a native of Alabama
and feel* very grateful to the pres
ident for his aianly recognition of
the colored race. He is anxious t»
appear as the defeader of the
president's personal policy, which
is so far advanced that negroes
may now aspire to all the privi
leges which a minister plenipoten
nary commission caa entitle them
to
The exact line upon which Tay
lor will speak if he comes, or
whose special interest it will be in
is not indicated, but he will prob
ably confine himself to |a defsns
iof the president’s colored policy,
as outlined by his own appoint
ment to the court of Bolivia.

whatever in my mind but that
Senator Morgan will loose his
place and Reuben F, Kolb will gel
it.
“A Jeffersonian uom'neo to the
legislature told me aa much and
said he would vote for Kolb for
senator, if elected,’ centinued Mr
Love. “I have fait aure that auch
a movement was on foot for some

is worth consideration.”
