About The Hustler of Rome. (Rome, Ga.) 1891-1898 | View Entire Issue (Dec. 13, 1896)
fWSrtofeSli 0 ~ 'S- Hurry Patton is at hustler. My attention was attracted to his news-boy poster. Like all other Ro mans, I thought that the poster was sent him by some of the big .lailies, but accidentlv I learn • ■<l otherwise. Mr. Pattoiffdesigned .- himself, and had same executed 'n Cincinnati. Just such “git up nd git” will make a successful business man of the young man who has, in a modest way, opened up a general news stand in Gus Johnson & Go’s popular drug store. Mr. Patton sells all Lading dai lies, music, cigars and tobaccos.He also takes orders for picture frames and is agent for fine engraving work. Do business with him. It will pay you. * * * Sheriff McConnell and Burt Al len have returned from the Gate City where they engineered one of the very finest barbecues ever serv ed the '“cue” goers of that neck of the moral vinyard. So well did Bert baste his meats that the gov ernor, who was present, pledged him ae “the best barbecuist iu the State ” Os course it wastbut nat ural for the Governor to pledge Mr.McConnell,who supervised the dinner, as one of the bust Sheriff s n the South. J. P. McConnell is that easily. There is less politics itid more genuine sincerity iu -Sher jf McConnell’s nature than in the nake-up,o€ ninety-nine one-hun dredth of office holders. * * * You know its my opinion dhat Dr. C. A. Trevitt can and -doHS show up a pair of the prettiest and most artistic small windows for uuy drug store in the State. <ffue reason for-this is that Cleve Trev itt knows how to buy prettygoods Another is that he has a “knati-ve knack” of displaying them. But 63e those windows for youi-self- 3tt will pay you. Judge Henry, after an absence of a couple of .days, is home again. Judge Henry has been putting in good time holding court for Judge Charley' Jaynes, Cedartown. ' Matt He: ry made many friends ) while holding the Polk county, court. *** Last Tuesday evening I was one ofafortnnate number of gtests who enjoyed a royal ehitlin sup per— a banquet, yea, verily, a Oast. The invitation was from that brane officer and all-round good fellow. Dallas Turner. Un fortunately for me, Dal did not invite me a week in advance, but waited until I had filled upon my u-ual quota of turnip-greens and ‘•uttermilk for dinndr. In my own soul I knew that I had eaten quite •t hearty dinner —but there is no -•ne on earth who could convince Dallas thatjl had not been on star vation for s x weeks. Eat— why I lasted. Only yesterday, Capt. John Seay congrutu'ated me upon having so completely taken bis part at the banquet. I am sorry ior Capt. Seay because I hate for him to miss so much of a good thing. *** I don’t propose to describe the many good things served —because bout half of my T readers would not believe my entire story —and I be other half weuld get fighting mad. Dyspeptics never read this ••olumn, if they did they would drop dead were I’to tell them half Mrs. Turner besides being the de vo'ed wife of one of the best of husbands and the proud mother >f half a dozen handsome sons nd a real pretty little daughter, i one of the mos s charming hos sses ; n the State. When you are <vited to dinner at Dallas Turn- | *”’« you must go there hungry—for »-u have got to eat, and hungry •r not hungry you will want t at if its a chitlin feast with the irittions. I can pi we this by idge W. M. Henry. Ordinary o-hn P, Davis. A de r man Dave Hanks, Mr. S. M. Stark and Dr. Henry’ Turner who wer? present on this particular occasion. * * * I have been criticized by a few, because, as they say, I gave an Evans coloring in my account of that deplorable tragedy, the kill ing of Will Coleman. On the oth er dand some of Mr. Evan’s friends have said that I was too much inclined to the Coleman side to be fair in said report. Now I have always sought fia the truth and tried to give it. In this case I have been unusual. *** As captain of the IUII Ci y Ca dets Will Coleman was one of my best men. True, when we were in camns three years ago, he wa- on ly 18 years of age, but even then he was a lithe, handsome ath'etic young man deceptively strong for his looks, quick of action and clever with this fists. Since camp life I have met him often I know he was my’ friend and I kno\ he feeling was mutual. He was a fear less youth and brimful of hope and ambition. How my heart aches for the noble-hearted mother. 1 I was near him when he died and God knows her anguish went home to me. * * * As to Frank Evans, Wnen he came to Rome about four years ago I gave him employment on th< Hustler of Rome. He remained with me for quite a longtime end I had an opportunity of studying him closely. He was always a quiet, easy-going but most relia ble assistant. Ready to share ev ery hardship with me and always hopeful. I have seen him when he was as hard up as myself give his last dime to some poor beggar and never say a word unless to ut ter a kindly regret that he could give no more. * * * Frank Euans’ mother died when he was but seven years of age. Ins father dyingipreviously. Having no relatives he was taken in cli.rge of by a stranger who brought nim up until he ran awav at the ag-> of 18. I’he orphaned boy never went to school as much as three m nths at a tims in his life. Thrown on ’ his own resources he became a ' news butcher and-operated on the i old ceuna, Rome Naud Dulton | Railroad, finally be went to St. Douis and then to Omaha, always working for a living and making for himself a good name. * * * He came to me hiehly recom mended by the Business Manager of the Omaha World. The truth "of the ouiness is I like Evans. He is a quiet, good.natured, generous hearted fellow. There isro murder in his hetrt and there never was. In all the months he was wi hme I never saw him give way to ntiger but once, and then’ instead of kill ing the black rascal, he only struck him; and afterwards sent and got him a bottle of liniment and told him io use it, but in the future k attend to his own business. Frank Ev n. never meant to ki'l Wil Coleman. * * * Why, on'v the afternoon of the killing he and Coleman were part ners in several games of pool and I arn informed that Evans paid for 'he drinks everytime they lost Evans drank whiskey, however, while C deman took beer. Mr opinion is that Evans’ friends will be able to make a good showing for him when the trirl occurs. * * ♦ I have no vengence in my heart. Far be it from me to stain the mem ory of tlx? dea I to help the living If Evans was in his trave and Cole man iu a cell charged with his murder Iw< uldnot tee! differ n‘ in this case. They were both my friends. The uho'e affair i j most deplorable, zlfearof being “held up” caused Evans to borrow that pistol. He does not own one. 4VP YHII Kore Tffroat, 3»1.U I UU Colored 8pot«, Acbeg, Old I ora In Mouth, JUi--FaHiiijr? Write IEMEDT ( O. tl Matenlc Temple® •tieuffo. 111., for proofs of cures.
