ROME GEORGIA SUNDAY MORNINGJULY. 29 1894. tl MS Cave in on Allen TuylorjCol, in a 25 ft Well HE WAS RESCUED ALIVE Anti Does not Se< m Much the Worse For his Experience He Prayed Mo A Devoutedly While Under the Brick Alien Taylor,col,had a most re tirirkaoio experience xesterday morning, Allen is ■> i) of your good old hobb'edy hoppity r.f-gros, who go quietly along and do any things tba; conies to hand by which au honest penny may he turned. For years the old darkey has bt-en Capt. J.A.Bales reguler stand by for cleaning out and repair wells an the various properties of ‘.he land holder. Yesterday morning, acting uu der orders. Allen put Prince Nes bit bis cc'c red lieutenant on the windlass while he .went down into a25 ft well on one of Capt Bales teuent houses on Central Street, just to the roar of Mr. Aim Bulling tons store in the Fourth Ward, The faithfrl old darkies had finish ed cleaning out the w< 11 and the bucket had been sent up for brick with which to floor the well to keep quicksands from from ocz'Bg up. Prince was alarmed to hear Allen call out that the brick walls which ex tended more than ha'f wiy up, were about to cave. He sent the bucket down hastily but before old Allen could get into it all the middle tiers of brick slid in and pinioned him and the bucket. The alarm was given and an exciteu crowd soon gathered above. It look cd like certain death to enter the well while the upper tiers of brick hung unsupported, but Prince hail nimself tied into a rope and let down to the top of the snspended brick wall. He moved off many of the top brick, sending them up in another bucket. Finally the brick gave wav and crashed down on the mass below. This caused old Alien to groan and call earnestly for help. He was wedged in and covered over by the mass of 1,500 brick, and fastened in a stooping position. And then to add to bis bodily pain he could feel the c<>ld wateisofthe well rising steadily upward- AiU Washington an active ventur som half grown negro boy volunteer ed logo to the reecue and was soon standing on the mass of brick, below and loading them into buckets that strong and wil ,; -ig colored arms hois ted upward. For more than an hour the work went on Washington was in verbal communication with the buried well digger and while he worked encourag ed the old man listened to his fei vent prayers. After 1,000 brick hud been remov ed Aden was rescued. A rope was tied around his waist and he was hauled out not much the worse for wear but looking rather delapidatcd. Capt. Bale had been sent for and was present superintending the res cue. He said to a Hustler report er afterwards that old Allen was a real good old darkey. Capt. Bak administered some restoratives to Allen and had him put in a wagon and sent to his homo three and oue half miles out Barring a few bruises, the old man seemed to have stood the ter rible ordeal remarkably well. That be was not killed outrgiht seems to be a miracle. TEACHERS ATTENTION. YOUR CASH IS READY AT THE COM MISSIONER’S OFFICE'.

A STRONG INDORSEMENT* THE ATLANTA COMMERCIAL ADVO CATES BACON’S ELECTION. Atlanta. Ga., July 28. —The Evening Commercial, Editor B. M. Blackburn's bright paper, comes out this afternoon for Maj. Bacon for the senate. Editor Blackburn, who is a safe man as a political prophet, as well as a brilliant and successful news paper man, swings into the Bacon column in this language: “The next United States senator from Georgia must be a man who will at once take a stand among the most distinguisehd figures of the upper house. “He must he a man of dignity, ability, a ready and forcible de bater and one whose strong indi viduality will easily impress itself upon national legislation. “Above all, he must be a Demo crat whose wisdom is unquestioned and whose loyalty has never been doubted. “Rising obove individual pre judice and personal glorification, he must be a man who will put himaelf in line with that sentiment which recognizes the necessity for party organization and the great benefits to grow out of thorough Democratic good will? “He should be a man who is in touch with the people and who ap preciates their need for such relief as is consistent with safe legisla tion. He should be essentially a lawmaker —a man of great soul, judicial mind, honest convictions and statesmanlike acumen. “All these qualifications are so harmoniously blended in Maj. A. O. Bacon that the Commercial has deliberately determined to'support him as the proper man to represent Georgia for the long term.” 10 CENTS A WEEK Titns aafl EaFllioloiiiiii? The place. July 30, 1894. Friend Tirus: —We have return ed, and according to request 1 now write to give y w u an account of our trip. I shall not attetfTpt to make mention of the many enjoyable features of our visit to Romo, out -•ill pass on to that p irtum which interests you most —namely, the business p rt. VV r e!l, we reached li’e ‘-Hili Ci ; y" about nine o'clock and at. cnee repaired to our old headquarters. Mr. Thos Fahy's "Ihe Prince Dry Goodt Mer chant Oh! Titus, yen have ,t the faintest conception ot Hi > im mense induemeur- this n d merchant is < xt'u ding to 'iu. ;.u' - he, Why! I don't see to save my life how he can sell goods ro chonp. I said to him: ‘‘Mr. Fahy, how is it you can s-di so much cheaper than the rest of *ne North Georgia merchants? II simply replied—“ Mr. Bartbol \ , our motto is Quick pale end small profits.” And I tell you, Titus, here is just exactly wi > -■ the se cret lies. He don’t try to-km a fellow the first time he buj s. Iu: places his figures low and thus in duces the purchaser to call sg un My wife and I went through every department a'-'d th * < oru-tii.- ve ha<: offered us "a.- pe-f c’!. - as tonishing. Wehadagoa' . H of buying to do, hence we commenced as soon as we reached the ln>ase. Now I just want to give you some idea nt least of the profit d rived by dealing with Mr. Fahy. We bought Gr .ce a id Myr: •• a beautiful white dress apiece, and oi iy paid eight cents per yer.l. It was regular 12 1-2 ceu’sg ods 'u , for the honest-faced sab sman ’old me o. His stock of White Goods was never more stylish and pretty than now What do you think! He is selling nice quality of Nam sook for 41-2 cents per yarn. Did jou ever hear the like? An.J in lias over 10,000 yards of Fast c > - ored lawns that are being eohi .it 212 cents. We bought seventy five yards of this. It is so 1., i . tor ihe girls to w«ar about h >me; c •<>', neat and inexpensive We passed <m further. Just over the Piras<>| and Umbrella counter we tm ic d a card containing these words: Look, 100 silk Umbrellas at .fl. You may rest as-un <1 Ibat wp did not fail to take rdvantage of ihic gr -at offer. We next went through ihe Lacn aud Embroidery department, where buiuty, taste, style ami cheapness were fully displayed. After making some very profitable purchases in this line v.u vent through the notion stock. You know what a lady i- ah ut muiobß -why my wife nearly hud a fit over the many attractiins Mr. Fahy harries a and vaiied notion stock and his pr c s win every time. He is especially noted f..r the excellency of his hosery »md gloves He has a beautiful stock ot fans, nil sizes, all qualities tm.l prices; the most delicate s . des desired, all have been reduc-d in prices, and you just bet ihe, , e moving off at rapid pace. W hy, old ipllow, I cant tell you th- on - hundredth part of what I w uid like to, bu - can simply intini ite a few things in passing. As we entered the door we were bunded a circular, of which read as follows: 1 000 yards of fast colored Liwu 2 1-2, 2 000 Plaid and plain Nainsook 4 l-2ceutp. 400 yards Ginghams 5 cents. 1 500 fiigured Lawn 5 cents. 100 Gloria Silk Umcreilas .fl.oo Big lot Odds aud Ends. Fine Dress Goods. Grenadines, Organdies, Fieuch Lawns, Challis, Zephyrs, * ic. 1 H makes in Corsets. Boys’Waists reduced iu price. Footwear at cost. Ribbons 25 per cent off. The foregoing will at least furn ish you some idea as to the extent of Mr, Fahy’s inducements to pur chasers. You can get Augusta and Jona than their Shoes at Mr Fahy’s, and by doing so save 50 cents on’ the dollar. Be sure and stop at Fahy’s. I must close. Much love to Cin derella and the children. Will give you a full account of my trip when I see you, Sal lie joins me iu love. Yours Truly, Jasper Bartholomew.
