A La Corbett.
The Kingston Correspondant of
the Cartersville Courant gives the
following interes ing account of
a bloody encounter between two
local sports of that place.
“A pugilistic mill came off Mon
day near the old lime kiln across
Tworun creek, beyond the city
limits. The championship for light
weights was the prize. Frank Woo
ten and Ezra White were the con
testing parties, Messrs Harris and
Gillam wdre chosen referees. The
fight was rather private. Your cor
respondent was not invited and
can only give his own imformin
ation from a grape vine message.
Frank go in the first lick just
above the belt, the second round
Ezra landed a stunner on Frank’s
nose, scattering blood on both.
After a little sponging Frank
came to time and Ezra landed a
blow about the butt of Frank’s ear
and knocked him out of the ring
and the referees called off and de
clared Ezra the champion. It is
hoped the boys will stop such
sport and that it will be the last
time we will have to speak of
such things in our quiet little city
as such scenes are injurious to the
good morals of any community.”

PRINTING!
FTER having been actively engaged in the Printing business
for twenty-nine years, I think 1 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 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,
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 I have
spent years in building up. 1 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 1 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

Longevity of Females
The Medical Record says woman 1
has the advantage of man as re- |
longevity ;she suffers lees |
'rem accidents, injuries.and many :
forms of disease, she is in fact I
more tenacious than man of the 1
limited,enjoyments allowed her.
Dr, Brandreth Symuhds had col
lected and studied a large number
of statistics to illustrate this in.
teresting fact(American Journal
of the Medical Sciences.
The comparative mortality of
the sexes at different ages shows
that in the first year of life the
mortality of the female is much
'ess than that of the male being
tt birth 92 64 p-r 1,000 as against
112 80, and at the end of the year
31 87 as against 35*08.
This difference continues up to
the fourth year.Fr<»m 5 to 12 the le
male mortality is greater than that
ifjthe male,being at the latter peri
>d 3 46 for males and 4.28 females
At the age of 46 the male mortali
ty equals that of the female, the
latter having been up to this time
slightly in excess.
During the years 46 to 56, the
period of the climacteric, the male
mortality gains rapidly on the fe
male, being 6.32 per annum for the
one and only 347 for the other.
Hence the climacteric is really a
much more serious time for man
than for woman,
After 56 the female mortality
gains oil that of the male, butje f
always slightly below it. Woman
has not only a less mortality, but
a greater longevity than man.
There is also, a plurality of ’
male births. «• -
SELLS BROTHERS.
Rome, Tuesday, Sept. 18. The
big Show of the World.
The title of the Sells Brothers
enormous enterprise is not an emp
ty name, nor a Sain boast. Its
claim is just as it is; truly “The
Big Show of the World.” Not only; •
because of the unparalled features

i overshadowing immensity, its
grand zoological exhibit including

rare wild animals.

bewildering street pageant; but
also on account of the new depart
ure it has originated and iuauger

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
I whose pigmy brains have been
I racked to meet exigencies of dull
i times—other shows have cut down

Wl lie other so-called big circuses
