THE HUSTLER OF ROME. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER. 14 1894.
HAM AND EGGS.
I heard a party of gentlemen
discussing the reason why more
wheat wtiH not grown in this
ssetion. Sdid one, ‘wheat cannot be
grownhere so as to make it pay. It
has been tried and found to almost
always a flat failure *
’ Acs,” said one of his listeners,
thats the same old argument. But
how do we know that we. cannot
raise good wheat here. A farmer
, will plant ii. wheat crop this year,
I and make a partial fai lire.* Does
he try it again next year? Not
much. lie wont sow any more for
several years. Now' again, a farmer
plants a big cotton crop and fails.
Does he quit? Not much. He goes
ahead year after year planting
cotton, and getting deeper and
deeper in debt. That's just why
wheat isn’t raised in North Geor
gia, because they dont try.”
“I think there is one subj’ect that
should be agitated in Georgia, and
at once,” said a gentleman to me.
‘‘And that is a uniformity of schoel
books in every county in the State.
Why I’ll tell you it is positively a
I burden to a well to do man to buy
school books, if he has several chil
dren. And a poor man cant do it.
Every county nearly has different
text books, and if you move around
much, the books your children use
here, would be useless in other
counties. And it isn’t confined to
(that by any means, they are con-
I stantly shifting and changing in
1 the same county. Do for the sake
| of school patrons, lets have a uni
, formity of school books through
out the State.’ ’
The Tornado which comes to
Noviu’s Opera house Monday night
is doing aspendid business every
I where they go, and the press is
loud in praise of it. In New Or
leans they had to turn people a vay
at every performance, and the pa
pers there spoke of them very
highly, Remember they come
Youday night.
And next Tuesday night my
friend Jim Nevm gets married.
And candidly I never saw
any fellow happier rverths proe
-1 pect than Jim. He goes from early
mdrn to dewy eve with just the
brightest happiest smile (almost
a grin) <>u his countenance you
ever saw. After the marriage Jim
and his fair young bride are going
i take an iudefiuit |kind of a
trip through the 'Vest. In Jim’s
own words, “we are just going
where we want to, stop where we
please, and when we get tired of
that we’re coming h< me.”
Jim Nevin’s going to succeed in
this world too. There is a kind of
“get there quality in his make up
hid yet in the serene conscious
ness pf his youth —but which only
|needs the sweet, tender yet all
powerful influence of his young
wife to spur him on to be up and
doing. Yes. he is going to be a
brilliant aud successful lawyer
some day—and that day is not far
ahead now. May the glory and and
joy of undimmed days be everlast
ingly your portion, and that of
the flower-faced girl, who is soon
to be your wife.

you are looking for a man, and he

Homs time during the day. An At

look for your man, you’ll find him
at the Kimball.
Johnnie Mickle is in deep ami
spul-harrowingtrouble. He doesn't
dare go home until a certain dog is
found. It all comes about this way.
Readers of this paper will remem--
her the famous dog “Pills” that
I elonged to Gus Johnson. Well
Gus gave that dog to Mickle’s
bright and precious boy, Milt, who
is some three or four years old.
Milt re-christened the pup “Gus”
in honor of the donor, but he was
most affectionately known as “Gus
sie”. That dog and Milt were in
operable up t* a day or so ago.
Now “Gussie” has disappeared,
and the boy is inconsolable in his
grief. Mickle has beea making a
desperate and far reaching search
for the “purp” but so far his ef
fort have been fruitless. A reward
will be paid to anyone who will
return the aforesaid dog to 210 E,

BURIED ALL
THe Last of His Family of Five
Laid to Rest.
Anderson, Ind., Nov. 14.—One
saddest incidents of the pres
ent black diphtheria scourge in
the Indiana gas belt was placed on
record today, when Martin J. Wat
son, of this city, buried the last
one of a family of five, which one
month ago was in good health.
It was an eleven-year-old son to
day, and he was laid by the side of
the mother aud sisters, who had
just b'en consigned to the earth.
The contagion is still rampant,
and the situation is a grave one.
About half the cases are fatal.
Lase Pence Discouraged.
Denver, Colo., November 14.
Congressman Lase Pence, defeated
candidate for re-election, said last
night nt a Populist meeting that
he would venture the prediction
that ne hill for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would
come out of a committee under
( Tom Reed's leadership in the uext
( CUngress.
‘ ‘There is left one solitary chance
’ in this century for free coinage,”
he continued. “There are yet three
r months left, and thank God, Bry
’ ar. and Dick Bland are not retired
r for that time. (Applause.) In a
few days I will go to fill out the
term for which you commissioned
( me by your unbought votes. The
C plans we now have under consider
ation mav possibly bring about
some relief. Unless between now
and the clese of this Congress
I something can be done for silver, I
read no signs in the skies that in-
J dicate silver will take a forward
step in this country.”
