LANCASTER, Photographer.+->g T IF HUSTLER OF DECEMBER 12 1894 i HAM AND EGGS The doctor was a genial, clever soul, and his head and beard were silvered with the cares of sixty well spent years. He had admin istered tenderly to the sick and suffering for nearly forty years, and the fact that very much of it had been a task of love was evi dent from the fact that he was a poor man. He was in a reminiscent mood t"at morning, as he told me of bis early college life, and his fine old eyes flashed with the mem ories recalled of his youth. “I never had but one experience at body snatching while attending the Medical college in this state. We were a wild, rollicking lot of fellows then, and none were more ready or eager than myself for a lark, but that night I was ef fectually cured of any desire to rob graves. “A negro died in the city one day and was buried in a cemetery about two miles from the city. In college there was a great big six foot, 200 pound fellow, who was generally disliked for his surly temper. We boys determined to put up a job on him, so persuaded him to go with us. We started out about 11 o’clock—half dozen of us —and the night was intensely dark. You know that was just what we wanted, as it would help our plans. “That big rascal was an awful coward, and that night he seemed espec ally nervous. We got to the cemetery, and after a little recon noitering found the ,grave. Then upon some pretext we sent that big man and another one back to town. That was where the plot lay. As soon as the two were out of sight they placed me in a sack, and when the two returned they were informed that the body was ready, and that they would take it turn about carrying it. It’s a won der that our man didn’t notice my absence, but I suppose he was too much excited to do so. “All of the boys were on to the secret, and Blank was told to take first turn. When we got fairly into the road, I moved in the sack the slightest bit—l was slung across his shoulders. The fellow stopped and cried out in a frightened voice : “ ‘Say boys, this durned corpse is moving! ’ “The gang guyed him unmerci fully and he moved on. Then I groaned. I could feel the poor devil trembling in every limb, and he said huskily: “ ‘My God, it is alive!’ “The boys simulated fear, and when I gave an unearthly moan, the whole crowd broke and ran. The fellow who was carrying me dropped the sack in the road, near ly breaking my back, and fled down the road like forty demons were after him.” “There I lay securely tied up in a sack and none of those villians came back to let me out. Fortuna tely I found,aftsr mush difficulty, a small pen knife in my pocket, and cut the bag open. Then I sneak ed back to the college. “But that was- n’t the end of the affair. That poor fellow was taken violently ill. and for many weeks hovered between life and death. All of the time he raved abent graves and such things,You can just bet we nursed him faithful ly, and when he finally covered you could not find a meeker or milder man in the State. That ef fectually cured me of each pranks.” Gus Johnson is a genius when it comes to tasty and catchy ads. His show windows are always neat and attractive, and ycu are constantly looking for something new. But he has fixed one now that is the best yet. when you go down the street take a peep.

PROr. EVERETT. Gave a Private Entertainment Last Night-Tonight at Nevin’s Last night in the parlors of the Armstrong, Prof. S. A. C. Everett, the gifted hypnotist gave a private entertainment to a few friends. He successfully mesmerized two or three and showed plainly that he possessed this power to a wonder ful degree. Besides he gave a most interesting talk upon hypnotism. To-night he will give his first public entertainment in Rome, at Ntvin’s Opera House, and all who attend may be assured of a pleas ant and instructive evening. Prof. Everett invites the close attention of all thinking people, in order that h< | may show conclusively that there is nothing that smacks of fraud in his performance. He will be here three nights and every one should go out and see him. Reserved seats maybe had at Yeisers. Price 50 cents. ERE COMING SOUTH. Boston People to Build a Larg 3 Gotten Mill in Alabama. Boston, Ma-«s., December 12 Dwight Manufacturing Company, of this city, is to begin almost immediately the building of a $500,000 cotton mill on rhe South ern end of Lookout mountain, in Alabama.
