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.
