the circumstances of my going is a i
blank page upon my memory. 1
recollect very distinctly that 1 in

the East Romo d 'pot, Then 1 saw
Prof. Evereti and talked with him.
then what'!Toe next thing 1 cm -m
her I awoke wi h a violent star;
sitting in mv sister’s house, wii 1:
the family around me. I can l ev
el* forget my feelings, or th * look
oi horror on the fa.*,os of those near
mo. Sister thought m?crazy, as
w-11 she might. I explained as
much as I could recall, and that
pacifi > 1 their fears. Strangest of al!
they say I recognized them before 1
awoke and spoke in a queer unusu

got there is shrouded in eternal
mystery t<> me, and on my scul
rests a doubt of the future.
A wonderful story is told in Polk
county of a unique and qpen vio
lation of all laws against counter
feiting. Jim Baldwin lives at Fish
Creek and dwes not bear an unsul
lied reputation for honesty and
uprightness. For several days,
goes the story, he has been selling
a counterfeiting machine on the
streets of Cedartown. He takes a
piece of white paper, rolls it
through a small machine, and it
comes out a perfectly printed $1
bill. When asked if he is not fear
ful of arrest Baldwin says:
‘•Why no, I am not offering to
sell or pass any of this money. I
am merely selling the machine,
and am backed by a strong con
cern who ha? the facility for help
ing me out.”
lie sells the machine for SSO,
and says that he has booked orders
for nearly fifty of them .
He claims that very prominent
mm n Polk county have’ordered
of him,‘and that it would astonish
any one to know who they were.
If this story is true the county will
be flooded with counterfeit money.
The above was told me by respon
sible parties, but I have no means
of verifying it.
Maj. Singleton, of Paulding, is
not only a profound chemist, geolo
gist, and all round scholar, but he
is a mechanical genius. He has
patented a bicycle, which he claims
will revolutionize racing, and the
customs of cycling. He claims that
on this wheel that a speed of forty
to fifty miles an hour can easily be
made. The machine is so arranged
that the rider uses both hands and
f et, as motive power, and it is
guided by the seat. It is also gear
ed in such a manner that the speed
can be made slow or fast, to suit
the taste of the operator. He is
having a machine made now, and
will take it to Chicago to have it
tested. If it will do all he claims,
his fortune is assured, and the bi
cycle of the present day will com
pare with the new one like an ox
cart to a fleet foot flyer.
Sometime ago “The Mwtripoli
tan,” a New York publication of
fered a prize of SSOO f«r the Jb«nt
essay on “Gravitation and what is
it?” Maj. Singleton in some chem
ical experiments happened upon a
new and complex idea of this sub
ject. He wrote an elaborate article
on the subject, and has submitted
it to men, who are conversant with
the science. Dr. Hoykin’s, of the
Atlanta Technological school pro
nounced it the most wonderful and
profound exposition of a new theo
ry he had ever read or heard of. It
is absolutely original, and learned
men say that it will create a sensa
tion when submitted to the world.
The contest closes in January and
it remains to be seen whether the
judges take the same view as oth
ers.
Near Rockmart lives a prosper
ous and well to do farmer. No more
genial or hospitable man lives than
he, yet there is on his life a shad
ow that worries he and his family
constantly. He is a somnambulest
of a most pronounced type, and
performs all the ordinary labors of
farm work, while profoundly a
sleep. One night h 'g< to il of bed,

*UiE GLEE CLUB.
An Attraction of Unusual Merit f t
Nevin’s Fri Jay Sight.
For the Chris!mas holidays the
first attraction de.-er\ ing universal
comment is t la-VnnderLilf I’niVer
sity Glee Club on Ihe 21st.
The club iscompo.-ed of the very I
be.’t young men of the college and
they give an < nterlainmi nt fully
as meritorious as H, is novel. Ev
ery Christmas th y spend their
1 oli lav- in a trip of this kind and
after the months of careful train
ing tiny ar.' always in good shape
to ewti rtain an audience highly.
Being, as they are, the represen
tatives of many of the most cul
tured families ii\ the South, they
are always the recipients of most
extraordinary FGcial attention and
the class of people acting as pat
rons is always the very best.
They come to Rome on Friday
evening, December 21st and the
advance sale of seats already shows '
that their house will be a large]
one.“ Their program is replete with
rollicking college songs, banjo and
mandolin specialties and good mu
sic throughout and their coming
to Rome will be an event of more
than ordinary interest.
Notes From Plainville.
/
Plainsville, Ga.,Dec. 17. —(Spe-
cial) —Our little city is getting to
be a very popular place for Ro
mans, quite a little party visited
this place yesterday, but I under
stand that one of them was a can
didate for office, and we could not
understand why he should be elec
tioneering in Gordon County for a
Lloyd County office.
There were also, one of your best
and most deligent city officers in
the jolly party, and as some of our
boys have been a little wild on
some of their recent trips to the
Hill City, a.-soon as they recog
nized him, they made a dash for
the woods and to this writing have
not been heard from.
But they should not be s-o easily
frightened for his visit was one of
peace and good will to men,
and we trust he enjoyed his trip to
our town and will return again.
Several young ladies were in the
party, and manyyou'h’s are today
yearning for the return of that
heart of theirs, which was carried
back to Rome last night, Plain
ville is on a boom and everybodys
getting ready for Christmas.
