Mr. II. paid a high
ment. to his native'eity and
the friends of his youth, not forget-
ing, however, to do jnst tribute to
the city which now claims him as one
of her worthy sons. In speaking of
Atlanta, lie remarked, that when a
man camb to that city, lie was not
sked who he was, or what he had
n. His social position was not an
object. The simple question was.
“ What can you do?” Atlanta was
a place that based its estimate of men
upon their true worth and merit.
Mr. Hillyer made an earnest appeal
to our young men to cotno to Atlanta,
that it was the place for all thorough
going, enterprising young men. How
ever, when tho honorable’gentleman
\vas acCUSed of advertising our young
men away from Athens, an honest
confession, on his part, caused him.
to own up that lie was more after the;
sisters tliati tlie brothers. Of course,
the amende honorable was accepted!

Dr. H. H. Carlton then being;
called upon, welcomed the visitors in
behalf of the Athens Press, compli
mented tlie enterprise and goaheada-
tiveness of 1 Atlanta, thought that
Athens only needed an imbibition of
some of her spirit, energy and
enterprise. He blessed the tie which
onr new enterprise now furnished
and which must” naturally anil inevi

some tribute to Athens, which in for
mer days he knew so well and so fa
vorably.] He stood nobly - up for. At
lanta the home of his adaption, and
took his seat amid enthusiastic ap
plause. Mr. J. C. Kimball made the
speech, of,tho "evening, he spoke in
glowing terms Of the South—thought,
the he^rt of the Southern people* was
right, before the' war, since the war,
and indeed during tlie war..- He
thought he, like the Irishman, deserv
ed great credit for being a Southerner.
He was born in Vermont that he could
riot help, but being now a Georgian, it
was of his own* motive, bis own. choice
and selection. Following these gen
tlemen, were Messrs. Hubbard,
Tommey, Kirlqiatrick and Patillo, of
Atlanta, Maj, R ; ce of C.mcord Mills,
Mr. Gee of Chattanooga. Messrs.
Moss, Burke and Childs of the North

and Judge VV. B. Thomas of the city
of Athens. We would that time arid
space permitted special mention of
each and every gentleman who hon
ored this^occasion with his presence,
and his most appropriate contributions.
Finally Col. G. W. Adair, Atlanta’s
inimitable, concluded one of the most
enjovablc occasions it has been the good
fortune of Athens to experience for
mauy a long day, with some fine prac

On last Friday morning, about 3
o’clock,. aaPivJ.B. Carlton was re
turning Home from a visit to a patient
in Madison county* and when in afeW
miles of Athens, on the Danielsville
road, he discovered some one gather
ing com in the field of Mr. Craw
ford. Thinking this a rather strange
hour for one to be engaged in gather
ing com, lie, of cours6, became satis
fied that the negro, as it proved to
he, was stealing. Calling .at the
house of Dick Brewer, who lived
close by, he notified him of what was
going on and put him to watch the
thief. Dr. Carlton hastening on to
town, informed Mr. Turner Moon,
one of the city police, of what he lrad
discovered, when'policeman Muon,
arming liimsclf with a double' barrel
shot-gun, stationed himself at the.
upper bridge to await the arrival of
the corn F tbief. About daylight
the negro, with his cart load of corn,
made his appearance. As Moon ad
vanced upon the negro io arrest him
lip threw a rock at Moon, striking
him in the face and knocking him
senseless. He then rushed up and
seising the gun beat Mm' - brer the
head fracturing his skull. The fiend

at Moons breast, was in the act of

Chariton, Hon. Henry Hillyer, Maj
Z. A. Rice, Mr. J* Goodnow and B.
IL Hill, jr., esq. Mr. John G. Young,
of the A., R. & A. Line Railroad, and
Mr. M. A. Gee, of Chattanooga,
were *1*3 among ,the number.
After partaking of sumptuous re
past, these gentlemen were addressed
by Mayor Talmadgc, who welcomed
. them to Athena in*neat and appro
priate manner.
Col. G. W. Adair responded in an
extremely handsome* manner, paying
a glowing‘tribute to Athens, and al
luded- to tlie many great men who
had gone forth from her classio halls.
Hence, I10 reasoned that every sec
tion of onr Stiite had - an abiding
interest in Athens and her prosperity.
The Colonel, with much flow of sen
timent, compared Athens to a grand
old mother surrounded on every
hand with her numerous children,
and that whenever he entered her
attractive confines, he felt like taking
off lua hat and bowing most pro
foundly. * j
Chancellor Tucker then being called
Northeastern Railroad, was now
called upon, and entertained the
crowd in some exceedingly happy
and well-timed remarks. Mr. G. is
certainly “ tho right man to tlie right
place.” Atlanta is justly proud of
him as one . of her best and most
enterprising cjtifens,; and we trust
we shall see hinroften in our midst.
Dr. King, cx-Mayor of Athens,
toeing on hand was pseaaoted, and
admirably sustained tliaf reputation
which ho has for being most felicitous
on such occasions as that to which he
now so elegantly contributed.
The .Atlanta Chamber of Com-i
mercc; being proposed as a sentimeni
wai8 ably responded to by Mr. Duna,
member of that body. Maj. Lncki
being loudly called for, arose and ex'
cosed himself upon the ground that
had loaned his speech to Dr. Hai
and as the Doctor was now ready ai
anxious to deliver it, he respectful
declined in his favor. Dr. Hapo then
appeared in the front and did full jus
tice to the speech, be it of Luck (y) ie !
extraction or a Hap (e)-hax*rd ; cou
effort of the Doctor. Col. John A.
Stephens following next, made a hand-
