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. * » » The lion hearted may hunt the lion but—l notice that the chicken heart ed hath ceased to hunt the chicken ■while tne farmer has the right of w ly. *** 1 Burney Tailoring Co. has juat rec d the first shipment of face goods, they are the very latest styles and are well selected suiting pants goods. We will make yon a suit or a pair ol pants worth the money we ask for it, We boast that we put finestfwork and better trimmings on our suits and pants than any other tailor in Rome, and we do this tiling too. It is no sale boast —we not only do the finest work and trim our clothing finer but we will give you the best fit and at the same time charge less by 20 per cen 1 we buy more woolen than every tai lor in Rome. Call an I sie our new goods, Burney Tailoring Co. * * * 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. 000 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. "000 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? 000 HeivG a piece of st iff from the Advance Courier, a third party sheet published at Cedartown that will prove interesting to every voter in the bloody Seventh in as much as it is the only paper on earth that has ‘had the hardihood to praise the; speech of acceptance which the aged floppist did not make. 000 Read it—then smile at its enthu siasm ; The Convention at Rome Yesterday. Nominated the H.n. Wm. H Feb on of Bartow County as the poj - nlist candidate to represent the people in the next congress. They could not have put ouu a more able or popular man. He is with the people and the people will elect him, His speech at Rome yesterday is said to be one of the most powerful ever deliveted in the state. Here's to you. Doctor. 000 Heres somthing I stumbled on. yesterday that I think will prove of deep interest to many of Romes citi zens because many of them have ridden the Fierce & AU-Mighty goat but heres the article 000 Brother: The twentieth day of September 1894 is the twenty fifth anniver sary of the first regular communi cation of the Oottanaula Lodge, No. 113, F. &A. M. It has been suggested that the occasion be celebrated with some appropriate ceremonies. After a quarter of a century of uninterrupted prosperi ty our Lodge is, as you are aware on a firm basis, in a healthy con dition, and doing good work. * * * There now remains only four of 'the first set of officers, and we are especially anxious to have these with us on the occasion re ferred to.
