The Nome el “Mother.” Thereon words that speek of a queaclilen love, W hich barns in the hearts we cherish, And aeeoanu that tell of a ftreuddup proved, That wig never blight or perish. There ore soft words murmured by dear, dear lips. For richer than any ether, But the sweetest word that the ear both heard Is the blessed name of Mother. Oh, magical word! may it never die From the lips that love to speak it. Nor melt sway from the treating hearts That ever would bleak to keep it. Was there ever a name that lived like this! Will there ever be such another! The angels have reared in Heaven a shrine For tue holy name of “Mother.” House to Rent. Caution to Our Citizens. We arc satisfied that there is • large quantity of spurious, highly-in- flaiuahle and explosive oil being sold throughout tlie country as kerosene oil. You can scarcely pick up a newspaper without seeing an account of some accident whilst has occurred from|tliis source. There is, no doubt, much of this class of oil in our own market, and it behooves our city au thorities to see to it thnt the follow- ing ordinances are strictly eulorced; Much precaution may save great dams age both to individuals and the com munity at large: § 2s9. No merchant, trader, or other person within the corporate limits of the city of Athens, shall sell, vend, or dispose of, or keep in poa- setsun, any Kerosene oil or other il luminating oil or b lrning flnid, until he shall liave first executed and* de posited with the city Treasurer, a boud with two good securities, in the sum of one hundred dollars, condi tioned not to sell, offer for sale, or keep iu psoessiou any illuminating oil or burning fluid, which has not stood or will not stand the test oi 110° Fahrenheit. § 290.

Jester had the first watermelons of the season yesterday. Several crates of peaches received in the city yesterday. Peaches, apples, watermelons, ice cream, lemonade and—no money. Watermelons look very tempting but seventy-five cents looks more so. We are pleased to see that our friend W. G. Noble has recovered his health and strength.
