, United States Senator andcandidate for vice-president on theticket of Stephen A. Douglasjvgainst Abraham Lincoln in 1860;and a number of others who boreGeorgias banner in the front ofthe procession. Georgia did notplay second fiddle to any state orthe village of Rome to any city. Few of Romes early recordswere kept, and apparently no news-paper files before 1850 are in ex-istence.

Wimpee, of SouthRome, and from these we get thebest view of the political condi-tions up to that time, and lookingjihead into the dark days of 1861-5.
