A KLUSTER OF - BULL’S EYE SHOTS. “There’s one tiling in connec tion with Billy Van’s minstrels that I wish to impress on the pub lic,” said Capt. Jas. B . Nev n, of Nevin’s opera house, to me yester day, “and that is the f. ct that this attraction is one that ladies particularly enjoy. The show is clean and refined from the begin ning to the end, and there i» not a word spoken or an act given that can possibly offend anyone. % * * “This is the best minstrel show touring the South and th® stage effects are very elaborate. We have, in fact, refused to book any other minstrel show ahead of this one, preferring to wait until we could offer something that was en tirely first class rather than give something that'was half way good. * * * ‘ Y u can just state, without fear of telling anything that is not “the truth, the whole truth and nothingbut the truth, that Billy Van's show is a good one, and that they don’t make them any funnier than Billy himself, who Leads the procession. * * * “Tell them to watch out for the parade and not to miss this min strel, for if tney do, they will miss the b‘*st one coming to Rome. ” * * Here is a compliment from the Coosa River news, that my readers will pardon me from re-producing. It’s from the brilliant pen of one of the “twins” and it s—well I ap preciate it: “The Hustler of Rome ia worth a good many dead ones yet. It can weh be said of the Hustler of Rome that it does not slobber-suck and pander, and, though we differ from it in Denio latic policy, we wish Capt. Byrd .siting success. His paper is no rimmer.’ ” h F One of the most artistic windows in the city is to be seen at the Ba zaar, at No. 129 Broad St. “An those pretty goods are for sale, too,” said Mr. Bunnell to me yes terday. In the lower window of the Bazaar is a beautiful ‘ Pearl Picture,” which to he‘seen at its best, should be viewed under the glare of the electric light.—And that picture is for sale, too. * * * i. Editor John Cain, of the Chat tooga News, accompanied by his gifted daughter, Miss Edna, spent yesterday in the city. Editor Cain returned home in the afternoon leaving Miss Edna to spend the Sabbath among her many Rome frier ds. John Cain is to be con gratulated. F-w fathers in the South have reared such beautiful and gifted daughters as the little lady who coni Unites so materially ,so the success >f one of the best 5 weeklies in G rgia, the Chattooga I News. * * * IfcSupt. John 11. Steele, of the cotton factory at LaFayette, Ga., alter a week s vacation spent in Atlanta and Macon, was in Rome yesterday, the guest ot his brother, Capt. M . H. Steele, the big crock ery house man of this city. Mr. Steele was driven out to the Mas sachusetts new mills near the citv yesterday, and wa« highly pleaded with this big plant. John R. Steele is one of the the South’s big cotton mill men of the fbture. “Mark that . prediction.” • * * * ‘ Business is growing steadily,” Mr. Thomas Warters said to me yesten ay, ‘‘and I attribute much of it to the advertising I do in the Hustler of Rome. ” Mr. Warters, lof course, makes the best cigars i ever put on the Rome market and, I Ot course, every cigar he sells helps Ito sell others, but Mr. Warters is too much of a hustler to sit back and wait'for the people to find out the merits of his goods . He knows he can do a smoker good and he therefore uses the Hustler of Rome, the best medium, to get his product before the people. THE HUSTLER OF ROME SUNDAY NOVE MEER 3 189 > BILLY VAM The King ct Burnt Kork Artists Here Tomorrow Night Managers Nevin & Son announce as the attraction at the opera house tomorrow night, the popu lar comedian, Mr. Billy Van, and his magnificent company of half a hundred artists in a superb spec tacular performance of minstrelsy. This will be one of the events of the theatrical season, and as Mr. Van is a local favorite, the house will no doubt be crowded. Billy Van has a number of years been conspicuous in various prom inent enterprises. His first notable minstrel engagement was with Al G. r iulat several seasons ago, when he created a hit, a palpable hit, throughout the country, leaving a record be ind him' that has never been blotted out, excelled or even equaled by any other black-face comedian. After leaving Fields he held ong and very successful engage ments with Gorman’s, Primroe’s and West’s minstrels, and others. He has thetofore Required the art of catering to the public ami know ing their likes and dislikes. He has organized his company with much time, care and expense, selecting only the choicest Ameri can and foreign talent, and intro ducing in addition extensive scenic, mechanical, electrical and costume effects, involuing thousands of dollars and prepared by the most killful painters, mechanics and esigners in the country. A street cortege will be given at midday. Watch for it! Usual prices will prevail and the show will be just as advertised, Take the ladies. Attention Colored People. A letter from Chief Commis sioner Penn to Commissioner T. M. Dent, of Rome, states that Nov. 11th promises to be a grand open ing day of the negro cangresses, at Atlanta Exposition. The feature of the day will be the parade of the colored military of Union on the' plank roadway, the troops are to march in front of the negro build ing and be reviewed by the colored Commissioners, Other important events, to the race, will be the convening of the following congress,—all to be held in the Auditorium: Nov. 12 A.

He also speaks in his letter, in the highest terms of the Floyd county exhibit of the colored peo ple. He says that no county has a better one, The fact that the Ex position Company has set aside so many days for the “Brother in Black ’ shows that the efforts of the negro race are not only bein r watched, but that the whites are deeply interested in the improv meiit which is, and which is to be. The colored people ot Rome will doubtless visit the exposition, on t' ose days, in great numbers. Death of Mrs. Emma Ford. Mrs. Emma Ford, wife of Mr. F. B.
