. After a long continued and most provoking absence from the columns of THE BANNER without any fault on our part, we again make our appearance, renew our acquaintance, and make our bow to the readers of THE BANNER, asking pardon for the past and hoping for the better in the future. i i

The great Presidential eleetion is over. But who is elected? ' is the question. - The answer to this quesiton at this writing depends entirely upon the politics of thé individual who answers. e g 2

Our schools, under the superintendency of Mr. J. P. Al?ra’ms, is said to bein a very flourishing condition, and is well attended, with a daily increase. It is the intention of the principal at some early day to organize a lyceum, in which the more advanced pupils of the school, as well as all ~other wellwishers, are cordially invited to take a part. This ought to be, and no doubt will be, a success. A The Rome City Woolen Mills have erected a new cloth ho@ise for the safe keeping of their manufactured goods. A much needed improvement.

The new handle factory of Vincent & Rickard seems to be doing quite a lively business. Tt is located on the site of the old woolen factory. Our enterprising young friend, Al Libelsberger, has put into active operation a boot and shoe shop, which is doing a good business. He has in his employ a first-class workman. This is an enterprise for which our town ought to feel grateful: and give a liberal patronage. ; Mr. Haskins, the.tea{;her renovator man, is doing so well that he concluded to stay in our city afew days longer. All those who wish “old feathers made new” had better avail ‘themselves of the opportunity before Mr. Haskins leaves. We can assure our readers that thisis no fraud or ‘humbug. : : : The Rome City Woolen Mills are now closed . for the season. They have manufactured piles of goods during the past season, a portion of which’ is gtill on hand and ready for market. .

Unless “ice harvest” should give employment to aconsiderable number of hands, there will be more idleness and poverty about Reme this winter than for several years past. 3 Levi Parks, a prominent citiz;en of Rome, has applied for, and is about to receive, letters patent for a self adjusting scaffold for, carpenters’, masons’ and painters’ use. . This seems to be a meritorious article and Levi is - bappy. His fortune is.secure. May success attend the enterprise. ‘ E. P. Nowels is now chief clerk and deputy P. M. for F. W. Miller, of this vlace.. Zeke makes a good one. ~ T.'P. Cobbs and Miss Lizzie Skillen, of this place, were married at Vicksburg,.Mich., on the 22d ult. On their arrival home the boys ‘around town gave them a regular “jamboree,” The first dance for quite a while took place at the Lake Side House on Tuesday: evening. last. ~ Bill Jones’ quadrille band supplied the music and the boys report having had a splendid time. . ?

Charles Wyland, ex-County Coroner, paid our town a flying visit last week. After obtaining possession of his missing ' overcoat, he left town as happy as a lark. Call again, Charley.

Not a word has been heard from H. G. Buffum since he left here in August last. Verily, he must be “gone where the woodbine twineth.” Our water cure establishment is still here and doing a végy ‘moderate business. 2

William Dixon is sorely afflicted from the effects of a paralytic stroke, he has been confined to his room for several weeks. -

David:Law, Esq., will probably remove, his Justice officé into town, before long. He can then be found at his office in* Rome City during all reasonable hours. ;

West. Sunday has a trained mink which he uses in catching rabbits. He sends the mink into the burrow and out comes the rabbit. . He caught 16 in this way in oné ‘day last. week. Surely nobody but West. Sunday would have ever thought of such strategy. . » . :

Bill Layman is doing a largej business in the rabbit line, -but he cannot keep up with West. Sunday, for want of a mink. e Kerr’s Island is now sold to the G. R. & L. R. R. Co., and we will look for some extensive improvements thereon the coming season. ' - Cromwell owes a debt of gratitude to faithful “Mollie” for the never failing ‘correspondence:in THE BANNER.

- A social was given ;‘?t Mr. H. O. Vanderford's on Tuesday evening, and a large number of guests were invited. Of course a pleasant time and lots of. fun was the result.

After several hours of sport, the pie and cake: was forwarded in. abundance, and the appetites of all gratified.
