The Tri-Weekly Georgian. The idea which induces the publi* cation ot theTri*Weekly G eorgian was that the growing impofancti of the city .of Athens demanded more Ilian a weekly {lourspaper. Dr. 'lari* ton, whose public spirt has cau-t-d him to make many pecuniary sac. i - iiees, failed to realize the mouiei' benefits from the Tri-Wei-klj' which the ctiinracreial tinjioriance of the city at the time of its establishment scented to guarantee. That Athens has boon benefiitwl by its publication any one will admit. Cities of less commercial impor tance than ours support Daily news* pajtors Why is this ?

The f)ll.twing poem is founded ou an inch dent in English history. In the days of the Protectorate, a yoong soldier was condemned to die “ at iho ringing of the Curfew.” Ilisfrienda interced ed for him in vain, and a fair young girl, who was attached to him, pleaded with his judges to spare his life, at la»t until tho hour when she could see th t stern Croinwel' herself, but her efforts were fruitless. She tiieu sought to. bribe the sexton to omit the Corfew for a single day, but he was also inexorable. The hour dnw on, and the executioner stood await ing the signal which, as the poem will show, did not iioond that night. The poem was written by Mrs. Boss Hart- wick, now Mrs. Elmnnd C. Thorpe, in April, 1847.

A meeting of tlie survive!* of tlie “ Troup Artillery ” was held in Athens, Dee. 1st, 1871'. Capt. U. H. Carlton was called to the Chair and Howell Cobb acted as Secretary. Capt.
