1 want to call the attention of
the lb >mi' Business men to a doulr
le half column add on another
page, headed ‘‘About Printing.’’
I have read that add with much
interest for there is “gum” in it
as sure as you are born to die. For
first class job printing I recom
mend my readers to call on ‘ Smith
the the Printer.” He knows his
business and he is “fixed” to do
your work not only in the best
4tyle but jam up on short notice.
But read what he says for himself.

One of the saddest deaths re
corded in this section for many a
day occurred this morning in Ly
erly. At about 7 o’clock the sweet
womanly spirit of the girl-wife of
Mr. Att Kirby severed its earthly
moorings and floated out into the
great sea of eternity, where, pilot
ed by the hands of angels, it was
wafted through the “Valley of the
Shadow” into the “Bright Be
yo.d”
*
* *
Less than a year ago Mrs. Kirby
was known, loved and admired by
a wide circle of friends. At the
altar of matrimony, as Miss May
Gilmer, she was wed heart and
hand to popular Att Kirby, and as
his bride spent a blissful honey
moon which lasted until the finger
of death broke the loving fetters.
The remains will be laid to rest in
Summerville tomorrow. The heart
broken young husband and bereav
ed relatives have the sympathy of
all Rome.

One of Floyd county’s most ag
gressive democrats hand me this
squill this morning* “You can
never fa t horn the correct size of a
politician until he has failed in an
effort to seen e office.” “That,”
said he, “was clipped from a news
paper. and when I read it 1 thought
of John Tempje Graves so strong
ly that I cut it out. Col. John
Temple may have,struck the pop
ular chord in his recent tirade, but
I am of the opinion that he missed
it badly—so badly that he only
hit the populists chord.

Have you noticed the Bermuda
grass on the new Court house
lawn? It is very pretty and is like
the democratic party, it is iryiug

does a fellow good to catch that
gentleman unawares and gaze ou

‘ Living Pictures ’ in the city ol
the dead! But then thev are not in
the city of the dead. It might not
have been the proper thing to
with, to permit the circus'msn to
brace their bill boards over against
the foot of Dyrtle Hill cerm tery, but
now that it is done I fail to see
wherein there is any harm to come
of it. I have noticed those boards
closely—very—who has not? Andjit
strikes me that they are well built,
and that the pictures are hung on the
right side. It the circus men had put
the pictures on the other side there
might be room for kicking— the liv

and the dear dead might feel insult |
PRINTING!

FTER having been actively engaged in the Printing business
for twenty-nine years, I think I may without doing violence
to modesty claim to be an expert in that business. Ami speaking
as an expert I desire to say that the business men of Rome are the
most liberal and at the same time the most discriminating patrons
of the “Art Preservative” I have ever served in any city. That is,
they willingly pay generous prices for first class work, but they
quickly detect imposition in the way of shoddy paper, cheap ink.
interior workmanship. I could swell my lean purse to plethoric
proportions in a short time by palming off straw paper and news
ink on my customers—and thereby destroy the business 1 have
spent years in building up. I will not do it. 1 am trying to keep
up with the procession and grow as Rome grows, but am not doing
work at cost, nor anything near it. But Ido claim to be the only
man (with one exception) who has run a successful Job Printing
business in Rome. I have seen dozens of’em start out claiming to
do the “cheapest and best,” and they all died with the same com
plaint—inferior workmanship, prices too low.
This summer I have greatly increased the facilities of my office,
added new styles of type, increased the quantity of body type, put
in labor-saving appliances, and am now better prepared than ever
to handle the Printing business of Rome. If you are not already
my customer, you are standing in your own light. Face about,
come to headquarters and get your Stationery, and
