“Catacombs,” where, restive and
bandaged headed, the bucks of
Timbuck and the black sheep of
Darktown, lay fettered for the

With the coming of the New
Year the city of Rome takes on re
newed lite and steps inf© the van
of material progress with brigter
prospects han ever before.
Tn his rambles in the clear crisp
Atmosphere of Broad street this
morning, the Hustler us Rome
reporter learned of a prominent
and leading business man that ne
gotiations were row pending and
that a foreign company with am
ple capital would soon consumate
a trade forth j Old Fair Grounds.
“And,” said he “the object of *his
deal is to put up a 5,000 spindle
cotton factory.”
Another item of good news was
gotten ©ut by the reporter, while
talking to another citizen “who is
on the inside” and that is, the
presence of a gentleman in the city
who is neg 'tinting for a tract of
land near Rome, v hieh will b *
suitable for a Spoke and Huh Fac
torv.
Then to >, there is this item,
which is al o good news, Mr. Sam
Innman has an agent here inspect
ing the Rounsaville Mill property
and other properties on Silver
Creek, with the ultimate intention
of locating the big Innman Cotton
Mills, to be erected soon th»re on.
Then are other projects for new
industries in and around Rome,
but theie threw have taken on tan
gible form and are not only prob
able but al tnos* certain of material
izing Floyd county, with her super
fine cotton fiber product, and her
mighty water powers of rippling,
laughing, crystinl waters, in a cli
mate that is matchless, is an ideal
section for cotton factories and—
the manufacturers in the frozen
North are finding itout.
As for a Spoke and Hub factory
the primeval forests, ©n thousand
ot broad acres i n th® empire of
Floyd, will fur fish a boundless
quantity of the raw mateial.
The eyes of the world are turned
on the South and Rome is the
“Cymoueare.”
