STEPHEN W. HERRING died near Athens, Clarke county, Ga., April Ifitli, 1873, in the thirty- ninth year of his age. He was born in Renoir county, N. C., and moved to Georgia about eight v«an ago, and was noon after united in wedlock to Miss Ann 1*. Moore, who shared all his joys and sorrows and cheered him in his dec-panel sad afdic tion. He was, during the late war, a Confederate soldier, and contracted his disease, while serving faithfully and gallantly in the Western Army. He was twice wounded while charging the Federal fortification around Franklin, Teuu., and the last time ho had half of his left hand shot off. ltut such was his heroic love lor country honor und In dependence, that lie pcr.'isted in remaining with his comrades in arm*, relieving, as much as jhkvu- ble, thcii multitudinous wants. As a farmer, he was persevering, successful and methodical. As a neighbor and friend, lie was pleasant and agreea- able. As a husband, he was devoted and affection ate; and as a father, he was kind, loving and gentle. He was most literal in his feelings toward others, making all due and necessary allowances for the abort-comings of his fellow man, and was disposed to attribute their erring wavs to thought lessness rather than intention. His .sufferings were long and painful, but^lie never complained at the decrees of an nll-v* tse Providence. 1 ne w riter has sat by his bedside when he was scorched w ith hy burning fevers and racked hy agonizing pains, yet he never murmured, hut Imre hts suffering with remarkable fortitude and resignation, lie had not connected himself with any Church, but had expressed a desire to do so as soon as he was able to get up. Itut, alas! it was t<*o late. He died liefore that pious wi*di was gratified. Hut wc mourn not, an those without hope. He leaves a devoted wife ami two Interesting children to mourn his untimely death. S. Southern Mutual Insur ance Company. ATHENS, GA., May 17, 1S73.

Sunday evening. May 11th, the day long looked for hy the gallant lioys of the Pioneei—the day on which they were to embark for Augusta—was ush ered in clear and warm. Just such weather as was required to nerve and strengthen the hearts of our boys, and cause them to redouble their exertions to defeat two mighty adversaries, one of whom had vanquished us once, and held the undisputed title of “champion Hook and Ladder Company of Geor gia” for eighteen long years. Many the time and oft had companies from sister cities visited Augusta, and put forth redoubled energies to wrest from Pioneer of Augusta the long-coveted honor, but each time were they most ingloriously defeated, and sent home with the unhonored title of “second best,” while the Augustans would, year after year, bear aloft the champi on hat and belt. But, as the Scripture says, the mighty must some day fall—and who the honor of overcoming the old and confirmed victors of eighteen years, was destined to fall to will be seen by further perusal of this lengthy account. Sunday evening, at six o’clock, eve ry member that contemplated going to Augusta appeared in their fatigue uni form, consisting of black pants, red shirts, trimmed with blue, and cap and belt. Wc were surprised to see such a large crowd in uniform present, for nearly every member of the Company was there. There were also on hand several wagons, which were kindly fur nished by members of the Company to carry the baggage over to the depot. The members were soon formed into a line of march, the truck taken from its house, polished and cleansed as bright as a “new silver dollar,” and soon it was on its way to the road, propelled by the happiest set of fellows that ever paraded the streets of old Athens. Having arrived at the depot, the next care was to place the appara tus carefully upon a platform car, and secure it in its place. This was accom plished without any great difficulty, and a sheet thrown over it to protect the truck from dust. The evening’s work being completed, all bauds were dismissed, ami were told to meet at their hall at eight o’clock, when they would form into line and march to the train. Promptly to the hour of rendezvou red shirts could be seen approaching from all directions. There were no loiterers, but at the appointed hour all were at their post. To form line and march to the print of embarkation was but the work of a few moments, and when wcagain see them they are comfor tably seated in the coaches generously provided for them by Superintendent S. K. Johnson, each smoking one of those pure old Havanas, which had been distributed to them by our kind and generous-hearted friend, Hauser. He was determined that the Pioneer boys should not lack for good smoking, and so he armed himself with enough to hist us tli rough. There were embarked on that train one of the happiest, gayest, and at the same time, one of the most gentleman ly set of firemen, who ever went on a voyage of pleasure. There was not a single cloud resting upon the hrow of any member. They had, each and every one, given themselves up to a week of happiness and enjoyment, and they intended to spend it as be comes firemen and gentlemen. Before the train moved off, Cop' Talmuile, First Foreman, whispered in the ear of each member, the follow ing injunction, which, we arc happy to say, was followed to a letter: “ Boys, for God’s sake keep sober—do not let any one entice or persuade you, under nnv circumstances whatever, to take a drink of intoxicating liquor. Conduct yourselves as gentlemen, as you arc, and thus reflect honor upon yourselves, our organization and our city. Do your best to carry off the hat and belt, but for my sake, do not let me see a man in the uniform of the Pioneer of Athens intoxicated.” Captain Beusse followed with a sim ilar injunction, and the whole Compa ny, as a unit, pledged themselves to do their best Prominent among the loud-mouthed visitors who were accompanying the Pioneer was that indefatigable Sock Pruitt, who, by the way he took ad vantage of our being a lone and friend less orphan, and turned his full batte ry of “chaws” and “saws” loose upon us, gained our resentment, and so wc registered a vow to “be even” with him if it took a century. But at this rate, we will never reach Augusta. The hour of departure hav ing arrived, the whistle sounds, the brass l»nd—which is snugly ensconsed in one corner of the car—strikes up a good old-fashioned hymn, the train slowly moves on its way, and soon wc are aware of the fact that wc arc “ bound for Augusta.” There was too much hilarity and ex citement for us to think of sleep, but it did not seem to have any such effect upon some of our neighbors, who, long ere they reached Winterville, were wrapped in the arms of Morphe us, and there proceeded from their nos trils a sound that gave rise to a rumor that we were nearing a factory erected for the purpose of sawing goards.

To disem bark was but the work of a moment, Tuesday, the long-looked-for and auspicious day, dawned clear. By 7 o’clock the streets were literally lined and we were met with the hearty wel- with firemen, conspicuous among whom come peculiar to the firemen of Au- were the Athens Fioneer boys, who, gusta.

After partaking of their fill, they were again formed into line, and marched to the Augusta Hotel, where I Club.” A.s tlie particulars of the procession and tests have already been extensively published, we only propose to give a brief review. The line of march was over one mile in length, the Pioneer of Athens' being the second Company we will leave them for the present and j Chief Engineer Luckie was appointed return to the little squad left at Mil ieu, under Foreman Talmadge. one of the Judges, which position he filled to the entire satisfaction of all appropriate remarks, and received by Captain Beusse,- vfho accepted it in a very graceful rrtiuner. After this ceremony was over, brief addresses were made' by Messrs. Rucker, Tal- madge, Jones, aud s6veral others of the Pioneer. This closed the pro gramme for Tuesday. Wednesday, the day we were to receive our prizes, proved to be rainy, disagreeable weath er. We dined with the Georgia, where we fared most sumptuously. The prizes were presented iu the after noon in the open streets, while the rain was descending constantly. The Cap and Belt, awi^ded to the Pioneer were received by Mr. E. E. Jones, who made a short but most appropriate ad dress, and received the tokens of our victory with the greatest ease and grace. He would have made a im re extensive address, but owing to the in- clemensy of the weather, he very prop erly declined doing so. There is two gentlemen who deserves •the especial thanks of the Company for their unlimited geuerosity. First, Mr. Leibler, who, as soon as the re sult was made known, kept the entire Company constantly supplied with the finest cigars, and the other is our brother firemdn, Joe Schaffer, who did not stop to count cost when the com fort of Ida friends was in the question. Search the world, and you won’t find a more gentlemanly, liberal hearted pair than Leibler and Schaffer. Wednesday night, the Compauy, accompanied by their Baud, serenaded Superintcndant Jphnson, who invited them in, and treaded the boys witli great courtesy. They afterwards met up with Mat O’Brien, who they pronounced the “greatest fellow” in Augusta. He in vited the boys to his house, and pre sented them with a burlesque likeness of himself, which Pioneer prizes above any of her treasures, not excepting the Champion Hat and Belt. But as our account is gettiug too lengthy, wc will have to abridge. Thursday morning we took our leave of the Augusta boys and started for home, each man expressing himself en raptured with his visit. Wc arrived safe at the Athens depot, when we were met and welcomed by a large con course of the citizens. A most eloquent and appropriate address was delivered to us by Emory Speer, Esq. The Friday night following a handsome hall was giveu by the Athenians to the Fire Company, which passed off very pleasantly. Take the trip from the beginning to the end, and in all proba bility “ wc never shall look upon its like again.” The Athens Police.—We defy the' world to produce a more efficent, enterprising, wideawake police thau we have. As a general thing onr city is ah quiet a’t night as a Country farm house. No noise, rto bdsflfe', no' rody- ism in the streets.

Flour, Flour, Flour 20,000 lbs just received and for sale by Weather ly <t- Co. Street Repairing.—We see hands at work hauling dirt and filling up the holes &c., on the lower part of River street. This is very necessary work,-as the rocks put on the street some time since made it very rough and uncomfortablle travelling. They were however necessary to make the street firm and prevent wagon wheels from cutting ruts. The dirt thrown there now will make a firm road. The New Bank.— We are glad to see the building for the new bank is about completed. A few days since the officers moved’ into it. Each officer ap pears to be in his place,-and ready for bus iness. We flunk A fliens mUy congrat ulate herself on her banks, and its of ficers. All of them' are men of worth and ability,- thoroughly conversant with the intricate business of banks.

Fine Chewing and Smoking To bacco to be had of Kalvnrinski & Leibler, National Cigar Store. A Handsome Sign.—We saw, a few day3 since, in Dr. King's New Drug Store, quite a handsome sign, which, we understand, is to bwsentto the Rome Fair. It represents a rooster cured by “King’s chicken cholera medicine.” calling up others fowls to partake of it, and be cured too. The lettering we have never scon surpassed. It is all dene on glass aud is the work of a Mr. Oliver, formerly of this place but now residing in Atlanta “Kings cure for Chicken Choleia” ap pears to be highly appreciated, as he ships great quantities to New York and other places.

They arc enterprising, clever young on (Ionian. Wc bxtrded in the same house with Mr. Wilkins for some time. He also did business near our office, and we have always found him an exceedingly clever, honest and rcli able gentleman. We hope this new firm may succeed, for we know of none who deserved more. Fine Pair of Horses.—A few days since we noticed a fine pair of bay horses, medium size; drawing a handsome landau. They were brought from Kentucky by Mr. Holeman, and sold to our young friend, Goodloe Yancey. They were very gay, good movers, oung and appeared perfectly gentle. is a great pleasure to “ pull the ribons” over such a pair of horses. Holeman is a believer in fine stock, and is not apt to deni in nnv other sort. We expect he still has some on hand, as we saw him yesterday driving a well formed horse in single harness. If a person wants to purchase a good horse, he can generally be accommo dated by calling on Holeman, at Cooper’s Livery Stable. The North Eastern Rail Road. —The work on this road is progressing rapidly, under the skillful and judi- ceous management of those who have the control of it. Before our people are aware of it they will hear the whistle and see the smoke of the engine. The Jefferson road will be built too, which will bo quickly followed, if not pro-* cceded, by the Madison road, and our littlc^ity will be made to blossom like the rose.
