HARMISON, Prop, i p/STER OF “i BULL’S EYE SHOTS. • - In my opinien, the county coinmiß sioners did a wise thing .vLen they entertained the petition a«d divided Watters district into Watters a d Ridge Valley districts. There's room enough in fiat territory, and it the side next the Bartow county line wants te join fortunes with their “no fence” neighbors why— all the better. Again I say, the Commissioners did right. * * * I am glad to see that the merchants will close, beginning next Monday, at six o’clock, in the after noon, Now I have observed the workings of this custom in the past, and am heartily in accord with u- A hen a clerk has been confine< “ store loom or oftic- irom G or 7 0,- cifjcJr ‘us morning until 6in the afternoon he or she deserves a rest— and reason why all < f them can’t have it. If all the stores close promptly at a stated hour, why no merchant has an advantage over another merchant. But if a merchant agrees to close at six and some belated customer rush es in at one minute to six and wants to’ and does trade for half an hour, or even five minutes, why the mer chant cant close his door with out risking an joffewe to a customer — and while he wants to close up ever so badly— he don’t. . * * * Then it is that his competittor, ever ready to criticise, turns his ton gue loose; trouble follows, ana— the clerks suffer. Now what I want to say is addressed to that class oi shoppers— mostly thoughtless ladies, who do not pause to thirk oi the needless inconvenience they work on the helpless, the polite but pa tiently obliging clerk : when you go shopping in the afternoons, reme >.- ber that you and your dollars control and remembering that, why be hu- I mine enough to make your purchases so that you can, at six o’clock, be on ( the ttreet where you can see clerks i from every store on Broadway come pouring out of the hot stores into the free air. This bit of advice is gratis, only to those that need it. Next Monday that class is requested to use it. ♦ ♦ ♦ I was at the Opera House last ■ night and was highly entertained with the closing exercises of the Rome colored schools. Prof. Dent handled the numbers on his pro graine 'u a most creditable manner There was quite a number of white people present and I am certain that they were well pleased. One * number on the programe: ‘T’m a Lily of the Valley” deserves especial mention and was roundly encoerd by the white people. The behavior of the audience was most excellent and lam frank to say that I congratulate the colored people of Rom j on that concert. They deserved it. *** Col Seab Wright was booked for an address but wrote that he was too sick to be present, so stated the principal. Superintendent J.C.Har ris was programed to deliver the cer tiheates but the illness of hise hild caused him to have to leave the haij before the performances closed.Mr J L. Camp, President of the Board of Trustees was present and in a most ’ eloquent and well turned little ad ‘ dress presented the graduates with their diplomas. Professor T. Al. ! j Dent, the principal of the colored schools,is an educator of whom bis race may well feel pnoud. . * « ♦ * I met Mr. Herbert Valois, the distinguished Parisian lawyer, and 1 enjoyed a pleasant hour with him ; this morning. Clyde Shropshire, Harper Hamilton, James Spul lock, Alf Harper and “I ’ formed a “quar tette and a quarter” to en tertain Colonel Valois, and if Don aid Harper could have cast his French eye bn “the way we done it,” he would have kussed m Dutch. Mr. Valois is a most, affa ble gentleman and when I go over to Paris I propose to see more of him. I think Harper Hamilton tried to sell him Etna—but the klever Frenchman escaped.—So j did Harper, and we are all happy See? ROME, TU —JUNE 5. IS9A- Clyde Shropshire, \ ice Consul to Pane, and’.he brilliant young Roman of whom we are all proud, will deliver the Commencement address before the Graduating Clh«s of Shorter College tomorrow util o’clock . That is going to be a treat —but wbat I want to hear is, Clyde Shropshire “Talk about an hour.’ Lets have him at the Court house, say about Friday night and let him give us a pointer or two on Parisian life well dashed with “experiences.” Then you get “Clyde”—the other way you havt ‘•Mr. Shroyshire’’—with “Clyde” in the background.
