We call attention to the card of
Camp, Glover & Cos.. Rome, Ga., to

1 hese gentlemen do a first-class 1 usiness

the largest and best stocks to be found
in North Georgia, from which purchas
ers can make selections, and sell at such
low figures as to secure the con P
tinued trade of those who once
trade with them. We advise those from
this section who do their trading in
Rome to give this house a call without
fail. Their goods will always be found
as represented.
Mr. W. 11. Engram, of this place,

Rosenberg & Bro. We congratulate
these gentlemen on securing the ser.
vices ot so popular a salesman, and
<ne who is more than like to prove to
their entire satisfaction an efficient
and reliable, assistant in their excellent
business. As this house has mov
ed to neater and more available quarters
further east m Broad Street, and have
overhauled, added to, and otherwise im
proved their stock, they are likelv to
meet with a deserved increase of sales
in the present business season. They

Summer in the Country*
Dear Tims v Perhaps some of your
readers who passed the sultry days of
July and August in the dusty town
would like to hear something about the
thrilling bird songs and balmy breezes
fraught with the aromatic fragrance
from the floweey woods in the country.
But they can have no conception of the
beauty of the little fern-carpeted dells
and grassy knolls until they wander
through them and enjoy uninterrupted
their sweet solitude.
Having passed a portion of the heat
ed term in the beautiful Salicoa valley,
where mountains loom up in majestic
grandeur seeming to mingle their azure
tops with the floating clouds we can sit
in our sanctum, where clouds of dust
come floating in at every passing vehi
cle and have the sweeter satisfaction of
knowing that we have enjoyed ease and
comfort if we never have the pleasure
cf doing so again.
Just think of passing the moonlit
evenings listening to the sad sighing
music of son e desolate night-bird, or
the merry tinkle of cow bells in the
distant meadows, and becoming weary
of these sounds of the forest, to step in--
doors and drink in the sweet intoxicat
ing music of one of Strauss' waltzes or
the soft sentimental strain of some pret
ty love song.
While enjoying these innocent things
we did not let pleasure’s train slip by
unnoticed but sipped at its fountain
quite profusely. We attended a Sab
bath school celebration at Oak Ilill.
which was quite an enjoyable affair. —
We also had a very pleasant time at a
quarterly meeting at Fairvicw church.
Several ministers were present from
miles around.
But, dear reader, did you ever attend
a singing convention 7 if not, we would
advise you to go immediately to the
next one you hear of. We enjoyed
ourself very much at a convention held
at Cedar Creek church, tear Adairs
ville. Several lectures Were delivered
on the science of music, and one which
was considerably on the humoruus order
pleased our fancy very much. He spoke
of the music of the wind sighing through
the trees of earliest remembrance, of
music when our mother lulled us to
sleep, of the music the rustle of one’s
sweetheart’s of Ihe time when he
was in love at the age of sixtee > and
his dulcinea twenty-three, when she put
her little hand in his walled her eyes
toward heaven like a dying duck in a
snow storm, and whispered that mag
netic “yes” was music sweeter than
any ever heard by mortal man.
There was quite an interesting couple
sitting near us, and at this juncture the
young Adonis whispered softly in his
sweetheart’s ear : “ Yes, little beauty, I
know how it is myself.”
Altogether we passed the summer of
’76 quite pleasantly, and hopn again to
vi*it Salicoa at no very distant day.

The Century of Independence em
braces a collection from official 'sources

history of America : also a chronogical
record of the principal events from its
discovery to the present time with bio
graphical and historical skeches, etc.
Printed in German and Englished.
Nearly 600 pages. Price .§2 0).
Never before has so much practical
information of this nature been pub’ish
ed in any one volume.
While there are many treatise pur
porting to give valuable statistics of
America in convenient foim, it will be
found upon examination that they
contain a voluminous amount of mat*
ter which is of no utility to any citi
zen.
A comparison of the various produc
tions w'll convince any intelligent pcr s
son that the “Century of Independence”
embraces the important documents to be
ound in them all while it omits that
which is superfluous and adds instead a
vast collection of invaluable facts. No
other arrangement gives one-fuurth the
information in the same space and the
arrangement is what makes it inval
uable as a reference book, it having
been complied under the immediate
supervision of officials at Washing

Ihe lawyer, banker, merchant and

have been prepared especially wbh ref

It is designated for this work to take
the place in politics that Webster’s Dic

Gazetteer in general literature. The
binding, paper and illustrations have
been made to compare with the general
character of the work.
Though a person can be a good citi

good citizen can enjoy the right of fran

is fast winning favor ih the household, a s
shown by the rupidly increasing sales.
This fiexv Family Machine is capa
ble Of a range and variety of work such a
was once thought impossible to perforni by
machinery. We claim and can show tin.,
it is the cheapest, mdst beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly ruuuing of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whien it will sew win
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter elastic lock stitch, alik *
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch .
and,i n a moment, this willing and never

fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, < r

most any other work which delicate finders
have been known to perform.
Out**hating loiig been the popular and
practical machines for raanuf i cturing pu: -
poses, some dealers, using “ the tricks of
trade;” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that Cltr Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation • ilni
formity of precise action at any sjtebd ca
pacity fornuge and variety bf work, fine
or coarse -leaving all rivals behind'it.
Sewing Machine Sales of 1874.
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being a
large increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,81)2
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may be further stated that tho bulcb of
1873, as compared with the sale of 1872,-
show a relatively large incrcas- beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in we sold 45,000 more machines (haft

OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is a correct report of the
tales of sewing machines made hy the lead
ing companies during the past four years
A careful examination of the figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all otl er companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its x*e
