KLUSTER OF
BULLS EYE SHOTS
"Ed Hatcher and Jeff Beruett
the gay young colored thugs who
attempted to murder and rob
young Monroe Long on circus day,
and who succeeded in getting
Long’s money alter beating him
insensible, will serve in the penten
laary for five years each. This
comes of the negroes bungling their
job. Had they killed Long they
could never have been con
vic ted of murder in Floyd county.

The same might be said of Liza
Ferryman, the dark amazon’an
who fired a pistol shot into anoth-
■er colored sister, without fatal
results. Liza was defended by
Col. George Harris but she was
sent up for three years, all the
same.

Exkewsthe personality, but 1.
-aw inform.-I that th.- third party
Floyd tnink 100 per cent
more of Governor Atkinson’s abili
ty since he has honored me with ,
am appointment on his staff. They!
take the grounds that the Govern
or was smart enough to know what
I was “short”on, and hence gave
me the “honor.” The fact about
these third party people in Floyd,
is that us democrats have about
whaled enough sense into them to
make democrats out of them. We
will lick em about once more and
then they will “come on back out
of the wet.”

In another column will be found
he anou ncemen card or Deputy
Sheriff J. P. McConnell, who offers
as a candidate for the office of
Sheriff. Mr. McConnell will be
elected —“Mark that prediction.”
He has associated with him on his
ticket big hearte i, clever Dallas
Turner with-his-laugh, and wide
awake, hustling, klever Klip Wil
liamson. These three men are
known all over Floyd county and
being known, means in each of
their cases, to be popular.
o o o
Messrs. McConnell aud Tun »r
are “old binds” iu the sheriff’s
office. They know every branch
of the business of the county and
pi) ii wuich pertains to the
sheriff’s office — hey have been
wheel horses under that “born
sheriff ’ Jake C . Moore, and are
honored and respee'ed by ad men
who have done business with
them. Tee people know them and
the pi-nple will support them.
o o o
The youngest man on the ticket
is Mr. J. K. Williams, —a man
born to serve the people, a young
man who has often been called to
fill the o Tices of trust in our
municipal government. That he
has filled him acceptable is the
universal verdict of the people.
Klip Willisom adds muehjstrength
to the ticket—such men as he al
ways do, to any ticket, no matter
how strong that ticket may have
been before. Again I sav J. P
McConnell will be Floyc’r next
sheriff and again I ask you to
“Mark the prediction.”
o o o
Clerk of Court, Will Beysiegle,
has announced for re-election. So
well has Mr, Beysiegle served the
p tuple of Floyd that 1 hear of no
oposition A man would be loss
ing time and money to enter a con
test against Clerk Beysiegle in the
present campaign.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME. SUNDAY DECEMBER. 2 1894
HOME AND COUNTRY.
The Christmas Number an Unu
sually Fine one.
How do you manage to do it for
the money? is a question which
might properly be put to many of
our magazine .publishers. The
world wonders at it. Yet the an
swer is found in the fact.
In these days, many of the
monthlies furnish a veritable gold
mine in way of illustration and
added to this an excellent in
tellectual feast at a low subscrip
tion price—not higher clast —mag-
azines attempted such things. As
a result the leading magazines
were then considered a luxury such
as none but the rich aud .well-to
do could afford . The popular heart
w >s not touched,
The tendency now is to make the
m gazine as much a necessity in
the homes of the common
every-day deople as is paper
the daily or weeidy home
without which life is not worth the
living.
Among the magazine of the pres
ent time, the Christmas number
of Home and Country, Corporal
James Tanner, Editor, just at hand
is an evidence of what can be done
by the publisher intent on serving
the cause of the common people.
Reduced in subscription price to
$1.50 a year, and sold at 15 cents
a month, the latest issue of this
publication, from an artistic point
>f view, because of its numerous
full-page illustrations, and as v. 1
irom the variety of subjects treat
ed, well maintains its reputation
asa leader in its line. Published
by Jos. W. Kay, 53 East 10th St ,
New York.
MRS. MARY WEBER.
Mrs. Mary Weber has bought out
John Baptiste’s Candy Stand and
all of its fixtures She is in charge

same grade of fine taffy candies,
for which Baptiste had such an ex
cellent reputation. He has touhgt
her ail the secrets of the trade,
and will guarantee satisfaction to
her customers. Call and see hei
