Although 'i lv engaged all week, no cases of special me import I he most important criminal case tried, was )iat 0 f l'iie State vs. Tobe Cross, for burglary. IT was found guilty, and re-elected to seven raisin t ho peuiteutiary. ' in addition to the local bar, the following ,• .nilemen were present: Messrs. Matthews j^.l Johnson, of Oglethorpe; Col. Reed, of ' fenC . Mr. Pike, of Jackson; Judge Marler, of Hall : and Judge Lylo, of Oconee. ' ji r . ware aud Mr. Leonard Phlnizy n,. rP admitted to practice. Nnxt Monday, Wa'ton adjourned Court will and otr the following Monday the ad journed Court for Jackson county. 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. Hops. 1st Prize—T. L. Whitehead, 2d “ —F. P. Patat. Relief. let Prize Brown, 2d “ —Robert Harris. ..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.” Retail Prices Current. Forth© Weekending May 25.

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. Reid & Harris Keep always on hand, at their barber shop, a lot of the most superior Hair Tonic, which removes dandruff, See. and promotes the growth of the hair.

Sad Bereavement. Thu remains of Mrs. Smith, daughter of Mr. J- S. England, were brought from Atlanta, "bore she died last week and interred in Oco nee cemetery. She leaves two young chil dren, a devoted bnsband and numerous rela tives and friends to monro her untimely loss. 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. Advcrtlslug.fi The benefits to be derived from jndicione advertising, says an exchange, can scarcely be estimated. It— Haa enlarged many a small business; Has revived many a dull business; Has rescued many a lost business Has saved many a fainting bnsines; Has preserved many a large business ; Has created many a new bnsineae; And assures success in any business.

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.

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.

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.
