Sew Court House.
We learn that the Grand Jury, in their pre
-ei'.tments List week, recommended the. issue
„f county bonds to raise the necessary funds
to build a court house aud jail for this county,
which will cost $25,000 or $30,000.
Fire!
The alarm on Saturday afternoon proceed
f (i from the dwelling-houso of Mr. Stern, on
Hancock Avenue, near the Presbyterian
church- When discovered, the flame bad
burnt through the roof, and but for the manly
exertions of our ever active and vigilant fire
department, would have soon destroyed the
entire building and* probably others with it.
lj v Hie exertions of the brave firemen the
property was saved, with very slight injury.
Inauguration or the State College.
We understand that the new State College
laboratory will soon be occupied by the Pro
feisora and their classes. In commemoration
df ,bc opening of the building, wo learn that
• acli of the Professors of the State College will
deliver a public lecture, which the citizens are
invited to attend. Tho buildiug will bo for
mal!' occupied on June 1st. The lectures will
Ik- delivered by Prof. Broun, Prof. White, Prof.
Cbarbounier and Prof. Pendleton. Notice will
be given in our next issue of the time of the
lectures.
Sunday School Pic-Jilc.
We regret that wo could not attend the
Sunday School pic-nio at Winterville last Wed-
nefday. Our special reporter says it was a
very pleasant affair and afforded much real
enjoyment to the large crowd in attendance.
Addresses were delivered by Dr. W. H. Pot
ter, ltt-v. Johu Calvin Johnson and Dr. Wm
King, of this city, in their best style—which
b. iug interpreted, means they were first-rate.
Every body seemed to be pleased with the en
tertainment. Winterville and its neighbor
hood can boast of a *• live” people.
Supper for the Benefit of the Athens Guards.
Among tho notable events of the past week,
was the supper at the Newton House, for the
benefit of the Athens Guards. It was, we are
assured, all that could be desired, and the
hit go crowd in atteudanca appeared to be
highly pleased with the entertainment.
The gross receipts were upwards of $400.
Mrs. E. W. Lucas was voted the most popular
married lady in town. Lieut. Clark was voted
tho most populat officer In the College battal
ion, and Capt. Fleming was decided to be the
most popular member of the military organ-
in t ion.
Tho whole affair concluded with “ tripping
the light fantastic toe” until a late, or very
early hour.
GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION.
No qnorum-A Failure.
The 19th instant—Wednesday last—was
the day appointed for the meeting of the Geor
gia Press Association in this city. On Tues
day afternoon, a portion of the committee of
reception repaired to the depot to greet and
welcome the brethren. They were surprised
to meet only one worthy representative. It
was then thought the night train, which ar
rives at six in the morning, would bring up the
great body of members. A portion of the com
mittee again visited the depot, where they
met some half dozen members, and conduct
ed them to the Newton Honse.
At 10 o'clock, the few members present
met at the Moore College, one pf tho lecture
rooms having been kindly tendered for their
aso by the authorities of the University
There being no quornm, an adjournment was
the only business in order. HaTing adjourned
until 5 o’clock, to await the arrival of the af
ternoon train, it was found that three or four
more members had arrived. Adjourned until
10 o'clock Tbnrsday morning, hoping tho night
train would bring a strong reinforcement.
At 10 o'clock on Thursday morning met at
Moore College. It was found that no acces
sions bad been made to the number. The
President, after some argument in reference
to the matter, finally declared the body ad
journed—remarking that he would give notioe
of the time and place of the adjourned meet
ing.
An informal meeting of those present was
then called, at which, among other things, a
resolution of thanks to the citizens of Athens
fur thoir hospitality, to the authorities of the
University and the press of the city for cour
tesies extended, was passed; after which, the
mooting adjourned sine die.
It is deeply regretted that oar brethren
failed to pat in an appearance. Our citizens
wero determined to do their best to make
tbeir visit to Athens pleasant and agreeable,
and made all the necessary arrangements for
tho pnrposo.
The centennial celebration at Charlotte, it is
thought, carried off many members of the As
sociation, while others were prevented by
other causes. It Is to be hoped that the next
meeting may bo a full one.
The Northeastern Railroad.
Wo learn by the Chronicle <b Sentinel that Dr.
James P. Philips of ClarkesviUe, one of tho
Directors of the Northeastern Railroad, was in
that city on last Thursday, Urging the citizens
to aid in the construction of the road.
It strikes us that the Directors of the Road
might get all the money they want by send
ing an agent to Philadelphia or New York,
empowered to act in tbeir behalf. It is said
by the Northern nowspapers that money was
never before so abundant in Philadelphia.
It is certainly bad policy to allow the road
bed to wash away and the cross-ties to rot.
for the want of iron to lay the remainderof the
track south of the Air-Line and money to pur
chase the necessary roiling stock. It does
seem to us that vigorous action is now de
manded. Why not make an effort to secure
tbo necessary funds to put the road in opera
tion south of the Air-line and complete the
northern section of itt This long delay is
ruinous. a ;
FIREMEN’S PARADE.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
The turn-out of the Fire Department Mon
day afterqpon was something very grand for
Athens. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder, with
its fins equipments, the “Hope No. 1’ and the
“ Relief,” which is the brag colored company,
all participated. The prizes were distributed
follows:
Pioneer.
1st Prize—Thomas Hodgson,
2d “ —C. S. Reese.

..Prof. Hal wick will walk a rope across the
bloody chasm” at Toccoa on Saturday next.
Agent at Homer.
Oar very large circulation in Banks county
makes an agency at Homer a convenience to
the citizens. Persons desiring to subscribe
or wishing to make payments to the Southern
Watchman will please call on Col. A. J. West,
the.papnlar Sheriff of the county, who is au
thorized to receive subscriptions and receipt
for the same.
Election.
As will be seen by the advertisement of
ll»n. A. L. Mitchell, County Judge, an elec
tion will bo hold at the courthouse Inthisoity
—the only election precinct in the county—on
the lGth day of June next, for the purpose of
ascertaining the will of the people in reference
to issuing county bonds to the amount of thirty
thouennd dollars, to pay for the ereotion of a
court house and jail.
A Card.
J. J. Flournoy, of Jackson county, begs to
tender his most cordial thanks to such of the
citizens of Athens, as contributed towards
enabling him, by the purchase of a horso,
to prosecuto his agricultural career. May
their lives be bappy, bright and full of wis
dom ! In the dying hour—the most oritical
and important with every man—they will
not regret having ehtend the hand of benev
olence to an uneqnal brother.
To those disposed to aid, but really unpre
pared a* the time, the like gratitude applies r—
as the Lord takes the sincere will, and hon
est exercise of possible effort, for the deed.
Wants. i*
“ Mai* wants but little hero below, nor
wants that little long,” said Goldsmith; and,
it may have been true in bis day ; but if bo
bad lived here now, and was forced to pay
prevailing prices for every day supplies, ho
would find that be wanted a great deal of
money and a long purse to bold it.
Athens wants good fat beef;
It wants nice fat mutton ;
It wants a large supply of fat poultry.
It wants nice yellow butter.
It wants an abundant supply of eggs.
It wants a supply of trade—a supply of money,
and courage sufficient to live, within its
means.
“As Others See Us.”
We extraotfrom Col. J. H. Estill's letter to
bis paper, the Savannah Morning Nines, tho
following paragraphs in reference to his late
visit to onr city :
“There was a drill and drees parade of
the Cadets of the Agricnltnral College, (three
companies,) in which they were joined by the
Athens Guards, in honor of the Press. Too
mneb cannot be said in praise of the Universi
ty of Georgia and tbo Authorities and students
of It. The latter are particularly worthy of
all praise. They are all gentlemanly and of
dignified deportment, not only in the campus
and colleges, bat in their intercourse and ac
tions about the city. The people speak high
ly, and, as far as I can see, desorvedly, of the
Franklin Collegeand the Agricultural College,
and the worthy Chancellor informed me that
there bad not been a single dismissal during
the past year. I could write columns in re
gard to the good that the Agricultural College
will, in my opinion, do for the State in the fn-
ture.
This is a free colie ge, open to the youths of the
State, where all of them can be edneated in
the higher branches of a practical English ed
ucation. At night the members of the press
in attendance assembled in tbo dining bailof
the Newton House, were a collation wa3 spread
Dr. A. H. Tucker, Chancellor of the Univer
sity, presided. A very pleasant evening was
spent, speeches were made by Prof. W. Le
Roy Broun, Dr. H. H. Tucker, Gen. Wm. M
Browne, of Athens, tho party breaking up
sometime before the ” wee small hours before
tho twelve.” For the encouragement of our
friends in Savannah, I would say that the en
tertainmont was strictly on temperance prin
ciples. It was truly the “ feast of reason and
the flow of soul.” nothing less and nothing
more. I can't say I like these extremely clas
sical entertainments.
“ In tho morning tho members of the Press
Association met, and after some discussion the
President announced that as there was no quo
rum present and tio prospect of one, be would
adjourn the Association, to meet at snch time
and place as he sbonld appoint. The Con
ventjnn tbon adjourned. An informat meet
ing was then held, and thanks roturacd to the
citizens of Athens, the press of the city and
the authorities of the University for courte
sies. In the afternoon we visited tbo Lncy
Institute by invitation, and several other
places. Taking it all together, tbo trip and
visit has been quite pleasant to me, excepting
the fact of the small attendance of members.”

Agent at CarnesviBe.
Onr largely increased and increasing circa-
l&tion in Franklin county creates the necessi
ty of an agency at Carnesville. Hon. A. J.

Col. Christy :—Some kind friends (t) have
circulated the report that I expected to leave
Athens.
Please deny that in yonr paper, as I have
no present intention of leaving here, but will
remain so long as my practice continnes as
good as it has been in the past.
Yours truly, J. W. Murrell.

Dr. Tucker’s Welcome
To the “ press gang" was nniqne and amnsing.
We cannot pretend to give a synopsis of it—as
nothing can do justice to it but a verbatim re
petition of overy word of it. It was received
with loud applause.
Adjourned Meeting.
It is understood that the President will call
an adjourned meeting of the Press Association
>n Atlanta some time in July—from whence it
is proposed to have an excursion to Toccoa
Falls, Greenville, 8. C., or some other point
°n tho Air-Line railroad.
17 We stated last week, on what weconsid
er reliable information, that public opinion in
Oconeo county fully acquits yonng Price of an
intention to kill young Thrasher—the unfor
tunate homicide which occurred there last
year. A relative of the deceased assnres ns
that he will make a different showing. The
publication we made was in strict accordance
with all we bad beard np to that time. It is
no part of onr intention to wrong any one,
The Entertainment
Given to the Press, by the citizens of Athens,
at the Newton Jioase, on Wednesday night,
was a very pleasant affair.
Chancellor Tucker was called to preside,
supported on the right by the President of the
Association, and on the left by aa ex-P.
The sentiments offered called forth a number
of short and spicy addresses from members of
the " Press gang ” and other invited guests.
Among the best were those of Dr. W. LeRoy
Broun, (President of the College of Agricul
ture and Meebanie Arte,) Gen. William M,
Browne. (Professor of History, to.) Dr. TJnck
er, W. W. Lumpkin, Judge Rice, Lamar Cobb,
and others.
At a seasonable hour, the assembly broke
up—all apparently well pleased with the en
tertainmont. We were sorry that tho ladies
were left out of the programme.

Haa enlarged many a small business;

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Habt A., consort of Mr. J. B. Smith, departed
this life in Atlanta, On., on the morning of May 18th,
1875. She was a daughter of Mr. J. 8. England, of
Athens, On.; was born Angnst 17th, 1845, and was
married to Mr. J. B. Smith on the 20th day of No
vember, 1872. In the year 1885, she made a publie
profession of faith in Christ, uniting with the First
Msthodirt Episcopal Oboreb, of Athens, where her
membership remained till her death. Her last rett
ing pise* is in the cemetery at Athens. For nine
weeks preceding her departure, the coffered from
severe illness, daring whieh time her faith and hop#
ware growing stronger and stronger. She wished to
live, that she might lead a more devoted Christian
life, and be a comfort and bleating to her hneband and
two little children; nut was sweetly tnbmittive to the
Divine will, ready, without a murmur, to depart, if
her Sarionreaw best. On the night of her decease,
aa friends sang for her the eongt of Zion, she was fall
of joy and peaee, rejoicing in the Lord. And “ when
the ailver cord wee loosed, and the golden bowl
broken,’’ with her hands folded serosa her breast,
gently and calmly “as dies aware along the shore,”
she breathed her life away. A stricken bnsband, her
little ebildren, yet too yonng to know their irreparable
loss, and a large family circle are tbns sorely be
reaved.
“Why lament the Christian dying ?
Why indeiga in tears or gloom ?
Calmly on th* Lord relying.
She did great the opening tomb.
Hark! the golden harps are ringing,
Sounds unearthly SU her ear:
Millions now in Heaven singing,
Greet her joyful entrance there." L.

T HE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND BAPTIST ap
peals to th. affection as well as to tbe interest of
ovory member of the great Baptist family iu Georgia.
Every Baptist in the South feels a Jost pride in his,
or her, denominational paper, sud should nse every
possible means to indnee non-subscribing Baptists to
take this, THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY PA
PER IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
In size, mechsnieai execution, and eompletenees, it
is UNSURPASSED.
Its Editorial Staff is oomposed of some of the most
eminent writers in the Denomination.
It has a large oorps of paid Contributors and Cor
respondents.
It is the Denominational Organ of
Georgia Baptists,
endorsed by their Conventions and urgently recom
mended to tbe exclusive favor and patronaga of the
Denomination in Georgia.
Therefore, we urge and earnestly request every Bap
tist in Georgia to subscribe for Tax Ihdix. Every
Pastor should see to it that his membership is sup
plied with tbe paper.
Every Baptist in Qeorgia should make it his
duty to subscribe for and support the State Organ of
his Denomination.
SEE ITS PECULIAR MERITS AND ADVANTAGES.
1. At a Denominational Organ. In it are found dis
cussed all topics and snbjeets vital to tbe Christianity
of the age, and espeeially to us as Baptists. No pa
per evideuees more wisdom in discussing tbe “ signs
of the times." It doss not sound tbe alarm after er-
rorists have done tbeir work.
2. Tub Ibdbx oontains all the latest Church intelli
gence, revival and otherwise. Ail facts pertaining to
the progress and prosperity of onr Zion, that can be
gathered from tbe press and eomspondenoe, are to
be fonnd in its columns.
3. The Spirit of tbe Press of all Denominations,
touching snbjeets vital to ehureh, soeiety and eonntry,
is carefully eollated, so that you may see at a glauoe
what the great minds of the age think, as to the sub
jeets indicated, as well qs of those who edit and eon
trol tbe paper-
4. “ Onr Pulpit" it another important feature.—
Each issue contains a carefully prepared sermon,
whioh, im itielf, is worth th* subscription prio* of the
paper.
5. Ail information pertaining to HnsBAXDET— the
laboring olass, or Oranges—is oarefnlly manipulated
for your bonefit.
6. The wants of yonr children are not neglected.—
Selections are made from thebest Sabbath-school and
children’s papers, making this department alike in
structive and entertaining.
7. From the ssenlar press is gleaned the latest po
litical intelligence, national and international.
These are soma of the peculiar merits of Thb Ixdix.
Now, as to its advantages:
1. Yon have, eombined, the theological, literary,
Sabbalh-sehool, political and agricultural in onr pa
per, all for ThrA Doixabs.
2. The paper is esntrally and eligibly located for
gathering all intelNgence pertaining to onr Sonthern
Zion.
3. Its publishers have their own publication honse
—hence the permanency of the enterprise.
Remember these advantages aa well aa merits. Do
not let this opportunity pass to secure the paper you
need.

accompanied by extensive derangements of

viscera. In their treatment, a purgative,
exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Db. J. Walkeb’s Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the samo time stimulating the
secretions of the liver, and generally restor

T HE present students of the University of Oeorgia
having determined to resume the publication c!
the college paper whieh wee once so ably mantained
by tbeir predecessors, hut which for the past few
years has been suspended, will issue, towards tbe lat
ter part of Fobuary, the first number of tbeir period
ical, nnder the title of the Gxokoia University Mag
azine.
It will be issued monthly, and will eontain about
j flirty pages of reading matter. No painswitlbe spared
to bring it np to that standard which the high position
of our University among the educational institutions
of the Sooth would seem to guarantee. Tbe Soeieties
will be assisted by occasional articles from our able
Faculty and from tbe diamond-pointed pen ofEx-
Chancellor A. A. Lipscomb.
Maintained as this Msgagin* will be, not only for
tbo purpnse of training tho stndents in tbo art of com
position, but also with a view of placing before tbe
1 public u periodical worthy of thoir notice, we think it
peculiarly entitled to the favorable consideration both
of the present patrons of tbe University and *f th*
State at large. Published beneath the protecting care
of onr Alma Mater, we trust that her honored Alumni
will at once manifest their approval XflUappreciation
by subscribing to tho Magellan.
Our articles will, bo literary in character—political
