He called on ine this afternoon and exclaimed: “For goodness sake change our ad. in the Hustler—it has sold every feather duster in the house and almost all on our block.—We have new goods a coming, so advertise what we have on hand and send them after the dusters, thereby giving us the room we need.’’ We’ll change that ad. tomorrow— “ Mark that prediction.” »** Col. J. T. Whitman, th® veteran editor of the late Dalton Citizen, ABOUT_ PRINTING! yi 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. And speaking as an expert I desire to say that the business men of Home 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, lint they quickly delect imposition in the way of shoddy paper, cheap ink, inferior 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. 1 will not do it. I am trying to keep up with the procession and grow as Koine grows, but am not doing work at cost, nor anything near it. But Ido claim to lie the only man (with one exception) who has run a successful Job Printing business in Koine. 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 Imdy 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 feel Setter.

Prof. J. C. Harris reported this ’ morning that there were an even 1 thousand pupils in the public 1 schools yesterday. 1 Os this number 650 were in the 1 white school and 850 in the color- 1 ed. This is the large 4 attendance ' in the history of the schools and 1 within a few days the number will 1 probably reach 1,200. ‘ On Prof. Gwaltney and Miss 1 Roberson’s department the Sev enth grade—the attendance great ly exceeds the expectations of Prof. Harris as he had calculated 60 pu pils. Yesterday there were 80. Romans are very proud of their public schools and the magnificent showing it has made under the management of Prof. J. C. Harris, and his splendid crop of teachers.

The title of the Sells Brothers enormous enterprise is not an emp ty name, nor a vain boast. Its claim is just, as it is; thily “The Big Show of the World.” Not only because of the unparalled features presented,its unequaled perform ance in its magnificent triple Cir cuses and elevated stages, its all overshadowing immensity, its grand zoological exhibit including fifty monster cage menagerie of rare wild animals. Its Royal Regal Hippodrome and Gala-Day Sport. Its Imperial Spectacular Triumph Pilgrimage to Mecca. Its grand, gorgeous and bewildering street pageant; but also on account of the new depart ure it has originated and inauger ated all new features, improving and perfecting its performance, equalizing low prices of everything by cutting its price of admission to fifty cents, which is a fearless stroke of managerial policy, send ing terror to weak-headed rivals whose pigmy brains have been racked to meet exigencies of dull times—other showshave cut down —Sells Brothers have enlarged. bile other so-called big circuses hold fast to hiirh price with reduced attractions.
