LOST THEIR HEAD Two Japanese Spies Fall into the Hands of the Ghinres Shanghai, Sept. 6 -'l’wo Japan ese spies who were surrendered to the Chu e-e authorims by th«- Uuited States consul, miner whose protection they were, w«re prompt ly tried and beheaded In conse quence of this summary actio , all the Japanese remaining in Siiaugh ai, about 700, decided to letye the city at once. 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.” No b t er medicine than Ayer’.- Pills for ad irregularities of the di geitive organs.

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 -=r==-4!?ouTl jfeel JBctter. FLETCHER SMITH, 240 BROAD ST., ROME, GA. New Hampshire Republicans. Concord, N. H., Sept. 6. —The republican state convention was called to order by Col. S. S.

Bartlett of Manchester was in troduced as the president and ad dressed the convention. 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 presen ted,its unequaled perform ance in its magnificent triple Cir l cuses ami elevated stages, its all i overshadowing immensity, its grand zoological exhibit including ! fifty monster cage menagerie of rare wild animals. j Its Royal Jlegal Hippodrome and Gala-Day Import. Its Imperial Spectacular to Mecca. Its grand, gorgeous and bewildering street pageant; but also on account of the new depart ure it has originated and iuauger 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 I whose pigmy brains have been I racked to meet exigencies of dull i times—other shows have cut down , —Sells Brothers have enlarged. Wl lie other so-called big circuses hold fast lo high price with reduced attractions, Sells Brothers, the mil lionaire magnates, have adopted the ex u t opposite They do not stint their stupendous performance in the least, as ti er have successfully man aged an I owned their Enormous United Show lor the past twenty three year ■>, and have maintained a pre-eminent over all and is acknowl edged to be the ‘‘only big show of the world ” Sint e a< opting the low price of admission iu ifie mammoth aggregation they hav> met the ap proval of th? amusement loving pub lic. as thepric h; ▼ bean placed in reach of all—fifty cents— and it is*, without a dqubt the greatest cyclon e that has over excited the circus worl I How so much can be exhibited for. the small price of admission -is a conundrum we si al not attemitto answer.
