KLOSTER OF BULL’SJYEJHOTS. 1 noticed, in coming through Atlanta this morning that the North Georgia “Advertising car,” carrie.l out from this section some months ag.i by a fellow named Land, stands sidetracked among a lot of freight cars, fully a half a mile from the car shed. I dont know where Land is “at” nor do I know what he has done with Floyds valuable mineral collection loaned him to make his great Northern and Western trip. If Land has ever carried that car out of the south, I dont know it —certain it is that Rome has not been over run with either ('migrant or en quiries from emigrants, but then The Husttle of Rome denounced Land once before as a “slick duck.” * ** Never in the history of Georgia has there been such a prospect for abundant corn crop: this is the verdict of people who ought to know—;<nd from the “streak” I have recently inspected I am ready to agree that the verdict is in ac cordance with the evidence. It looks as if the stalks had gone on a strike and were “shooting” at prosperity while they creaued their ears to hear the reverberating re ports of heavens “corn wagon” as it pealed forth its proclimaton of peace and plenty—Oh when it comes to rain of water and thun dering strikes, the corn is getting into the shock. * * * If I remember correctly: Mayor Moore carried the city by 164 votes and General Evans carried the county by 161 votes. If these figures are correct then the coin ■ cidence is most remarkable be cause the lines were badly broken : —both ways—in the last fight.

Major Bacon is making a redhot and a winning fight and leads any two of his three opments in the race. He was looking the picture of health, and promised me that he would come to Rome aud participate in the big democratic rally’ when it comes off Major Bacon has a host of friends iu this section of the state, but none are more ardent admirers than his Romi followers. Floyd, I am glad to see. is for him against st the field. Hal Moore neither likes crow nor admires those who love such a diet. He say’s: “Young Tom Cobb is a candidate for temporary chair man of the convention. Some peo ple can eat crow when they are obliged to, but young Tom goes gunning for it and voraciously de" vours it, feathers and all.” THE FIIIE» Sweeps the City of Philips ' From the Earth.

I shall not attempt to make mention of the .nany enjoyable features of our visit to Rome; but .vill pass on to that portion which > interests you most—namely; lift, business p rt. Well, we reached *■ the “Hill City” about nine o’clock ind at ence repaired to our old headquarters. Mr, Thos. Fahy’s ••I'he Prince Dry Goods Mer-’z chaut ’’ Oh! Titus, you have nob faintest conception es the im mense inducements this noted merchant is extending to tho pub- - :c, Why! I don’t see to save my life how he can sell goods sc cheap. I said to him: “Mr. Fahy. . how is it you can sell so much cheaper than the rest of the North Georgia merchants? He replied—“ Mr. Bartholomew our ’■ motto is Q lick sale and small profits.” And I tell you, Titus, here is just exactly where the se cret lies. He don’t try to skin- a fellow the first time he buys, but places his figures low and thus in duces the purchaser to call again. My wife and I went through every department and th j bargains we ha t offered us was perfectly as tonishing. We had a great deal of buying to do, hence wecommenced as soon as we reached the house . Now I just want to give you some idea at least of the profit derived by dealing with Mr. Fahy. We, b >ught Grt.ce aud xMyrtle a 1 eau ! iful white dress apiece, aad only paid eight cents par yard.

He is especially noted for the excellency of his hosery gloves.He has a beautiful stock of fans, all sizes, all qualities and prices; the most delicate shades lesired, all have been reduced iu prices, and you just bet they are moving off at rapid pace. Why old fellow, I cant tell you the ol i hundredth part of what I would like to, bu - can simply intimate a few things in passing.
