THE HUSTLER OF ROME, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 26 1814
KLUSTER OF
BULLSEYE SHOTS
The blight of the small fire
cracker crop in this city on yester
day forced the small boy to invest
his monev in the Tom-Watson-siz
of pops. That is to say, in tne
heavy artillery of crackery. Os
course the small pops were not in
it. and the noise had but slight va
riation, along Broad Street. There
was the boom of the cannon crack
er and the blast of the tin horn—
in the mouth of the Georgia Crack
er, with now and then afusilade of
Inrid balls from the slender bar
rels of *he Roman candles, held
by the hand of a Roman,
*
* »
For my part I had a pic-nic I spen
the day at honip and got acquainte
with the little fol Ks. From the en
seencly hour when Glenn Ed began
investigating his hose, rousing the
household to eujoy the inspection
of what Old Santa Clause had left
him, until the tired eyei of littlq
PhillCorlton closed and “stuck”
last night we feasted romped and
romped and feasted—mostly romp
ed.
« *
*
Os course I use the word “feast
ed” with'poetic license—though
Mrs “Dock” Lowery, did send us
a quart of oysters, which were out
of sight before Christmas dinner
was over Glenn Ed and b iby Carl
are a whole team, “Tandem,” of
course, with Glenn in the lead, we
had several scrapping matches but
as Glenn always worked his hyp
notism on me just when I had Dim
cornered, and then slapped his
hands to wake me up when well I
out of reach. I guess he and baby
kinder “average I up” with me.

1 know that I had a “good time”
and a Christmas, the memory of
which will be a pleasure for many
a day, and I am of the opinion
that my case is but one of the gen
eral run—at least Edna and her
mama say “they think so” may
the day not return too often but in
returning always as satisfactory.

I went around to the Police
Court this morning expecting to re
port a good sized “Fall of Nineveh”
butnarrya “fall.” The dockets,
said Chief Shropshire, are very
ight for Christinas timesand the
cases will be carried over until
I 1 ;v morning. Now how does
that or a town of fit
ter people.
I hardly th there was
so much in . up this year
as was wasted on Broa>- st’
during last i,
out. On the d 1 th- ik
that more was ' i,
though it wa way.
All in all 1 think ■ • Christmas
in Rome, whih
been a most >:i
masses.
*
* *
Os course, much of this good re
cord is due Mtyor John D. Moore,
who, for the good of the city, clos
ed all the bar rooms on Christmas
day. This kept many of the annu
al or Christmas drunks from trans
piring and resulted in even that
element enjoying a jol'y good
time.

The Christmas day of 1894 will
go down in Roman history as one
in which not a serious accident or
cauauality occurred. Now let every
body get ready for the new year
and swear off and all get in the
push and go at 1895 with a hip—
hip—hurrah and a git—up—and
—git that will "take us yonder”
in the vanguard of prosperity and
happiness. Be sure you say “Cornu
on! ”
