KLOSTER OF
BULL’S EYE SHOTS.
I may not be any great shakes at
bearding tha Mexican hon ifi his den.
but I fee) like one of the boldest of
the bold when armed with a huge
butcher knife, I am ordered to charge
a flock of pumpkin ougs in a heavily
loaded watermelen patch. If kredei -
tials are needed why I can get a
pair of affidavits from Gus Johnson
about as cheap as I can one.

Work on the foundation of Loeb’s
millf’ on the old Cohen mill site is be
ing pushed Mr Loeb will put in a
grist mill first and a little later on I
understand he means to add a knit
tifig factory. He has a magnificent
wrter power and as his plant is witl -
in the citys limits, when he gets his
mills a going he will certainly be “in
town ”

I am glad to say that Will Gunn,
who whs reported at dea'hs door,
from the effects of gas poise n—in a
well, has fully recovered. Mr, Gunn
has many warm friends around Rome
and will be remembered by all as the
carpenter who put the finishing touch
es to the top of the New court house
tower. He is a cool headed fearless
fellow and his going into the teacher
ous well to rescue George Payne was
butcharacteristic of him. Poor Payne,
I understand that he was a very poor
man and that he leaves an invaliel
widow and six helpless little ones to
the tender mercies of the cold world,
. in his cabin home neor Plainville.
Here’s a place for genuine chairty.

St. Simons, seems to be the fa
vorite watering place among Ro
mans. I do not remember to have
heard a Roman speak of St. Si
mons in other than 1 auditory lan
guage. And I am pretty sure that
it is the only seaside resort about
which I have never heard some
kind of a complaint.
*
* *
The bathing is immense, and
then it is so very convenient to
that perfectly managed, well equip
ed, and magnificent seaside hotel,
the Hotel St Simon. With its
beautiful walks, its sandy beaches,
and miles of shell drives, St. Si
mon’s Irlaud is an ideal summer
resort. —I only wish that I might
slip away and spend a week en
joying its exhilerating pleasures—
eyen as the most popular taleslady
or salesman of Rome is going to
do <W“Now is the time to vote.

Jack Davis, the Piano and Bicy
cle man tella’me this good one: A
few days before the Alabama elec
tioa the Kolb men around Spring
Garden hauled a big load of Bind
into town and dumped it out near
the public well. No one in Spring
Garden understood the ;move nor
could even the most inquisittive
g 4 a pointer until next day after
the election. Then a disgusted
Koibite confided to his warm friend
but political enemy,that the Kolb
iles had intended to use the sand
in building a mound, grave faih
ou and erecting|at the west end of
the tame a monument for “Old
man Oats ”
* *
The thing was too good to keep
and by night number of
exultant Oats men were in the
Beer t and the result was that the
next morning, lo and behold buri,
ed there beueith his own sand was
the polttical remains of Reuben F.
and neatly painted on the white
head board that marked his n Bl
ing place was;“Hacred the memory
of Reuben Forhimself Kolb” and
e c. Os course the KMb men soon
heard of it. and were hot in the col
lar—but being ketched in the very
pit they had dug they were more or
less dumb.

Mr. Bull’s Eye Man of the Hust
ler of Rome:
I am very glad you have given
your Bull’s Eye Column for we
kickers in regard to raising Broad
St. between Ist and 2nd Ave. I do
hope our City Fathers may take
some action in regard to this mat
ter at once, A stranger or traveler
was talking to me a few days ago
about our streets and sidewalks.
He said that Rome street and
and sidewalks put him in the mind
of a conversation that took place
in North Georgia shortly after the
Air Line R. R. was built through
to Charlotte, N. C.
* *
' *
He said he stopped at a little
hotel at Mt. Airy where he had a
splendid supper; chicken, chicken
at our third meal. Some gentle
man sitting next to me began
kicking about the chicken: “Say
waiter, this is my third or fourth
meal at this hotel and all that
chicken is legs and wings. Why is
that?” W’y boss, dey hab to hab
all wings and leg to git over dese
hills, here.” We think our good
ladies and children will have to
get patented wings and extra legs
to climb the hills along lower
Broad St. soon, If something is not
done to raise up Hawks Gullie.
o o o
If the proprietors of those stores
do not raise up their sidewalks, we
think our City Fathers should
bridge them over, and they can do
it without any trouble, if they will
go at it in the right way, there is
always away to change a wrong to
aright. Speaking about hills, I
shall never forget the remarks Gen.
Bob Toombs made after he bought
his summer place in Clarksville,
Ga. The good people who lived at
Mt. Airy, tried very hard to get
the general to buy his summer
home at Mt. Airy.
000
General Toombs could always
hold any crowd at bay, and some
gentlemen from Mt. Airy, that
was in a crowd at Clarksville, ask"
ed the general why he did not buy
his summer home at Mt. Airy
“Why,” said the general, “j do
not want to live at any place 4 that
a man has to scotch a wheelbarrow
and raise chickens all wings and
legs.” Citizensand City Fathers,
what is everybody’s business is
nobody's business and what is no
body’s business is everybody’s bus
ness now let us have the street
raised anyway, and [if those two
landlords do not raise “Hawks
Gullie” why, we say bridge them
at once. Your best friend and
subscriber, S. S. Kicker.

This “kicking” business has awak
ened much interest in the elevation
of lower Broad street— at least a very
large number of citizens talk to me
about it and seem to be pleased at
the efforts of Mr. “S. S. Kicker ” 1
think they are right and “I m wid
um‘‘— but I know that the city fath
ers are doing about all that they can
do, with the sinews of war so woe
fully absent.
000
One by one the elevation of pave
ments show up along the line. I
understood that my good friend Mr.
I. L Todd will elevate the pavement
in front of his building next to the
Kinkaid store. This will extend
“Council Bluffs'* to Dr. C. A. Trevitts
drug store from the Fourth Avenue
end of the street. Bumps are bad
but the longer we have 'em the better
we like 'em- See?
