The Excursion to Rome.

The Rome Land Company of Rome,
Ga, and the railroads, have gone to work
in earnest to advertise the half-rate excur-
sion from this city to Rome on April "a. A
large poster is being displayed at barber
shops and almost on every billboard in the
city. The poster is double print, and is
both unique and striking.
The first print is splendid plat of resi-
dence lots to be sold at public cutlery on
April % aud q by the Rome Land Com
pany, together with happily arranged read
ing matter setting forth the attractions and
resources of the Hill City. The second print
is a circular-tormed railroad and river map
In red, which produces good effect.
The poster claims that the hills and val
leys surrounding Rome are hut vast deposi-
tories of iron ores, manganese, marble, etc.
while the new railro IDS now being built to
Rome will open up to the city vast fields of
virgin forest. 1t pays its respects to Rome's
agricultural surroundings, pointing with
pride to Floyd's record at the Atlanta Pied
mont Exposition, at which she took forty
two prizes-among them the grand prize of
81 900 for the best display of agricultural
products, the first prizes for best minerals.
best forest products, best cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, hay, potatoes, grapes, domestic
wines, best Jersey cattle, hogs, horses, ETC.,
etc.
The most remarkable statement which
the poster contains relates to the health of
the place 1t says Of Rome: 1.-The annual
death rate stands without a peer at s. 40 per
thousand Not one case of consumption or
catarrh ever originated within her limits"
Most advertisements Of this kind are given
the touch of borrowed coloring, tut this one
has the al, antage of such figures and Stats
tics rs to give it a plausible relish. To say
The least of it, if the success of the excur-
sion aud the land sale are TO he measured by
the merit OF the poster, the enterprise is to
be congratulated.

the landlord and one or two parties came to
his relief A magic lantern was ordered
for the proprietor and some plated silver
ware purchased, that he might give
show and reimbui SO himself and
reward his benefactors. The reward is very
unsatisfactory and tonight his friends are
telegraphing to various points asking for
his retention. His absence was not discov-

by his non-appearance. He was seen at the
