Clarke county is put down in the
comparative census letnrns as having
lost 1,230 in population since 1870.
This is because the larger part of Oco-
nee county was taken from it. If the
population of that part of Oconee
which was taken from Clarke was
added to that ofCiarke.it would
show a considerable increase.

A Railroad Archlent.
There was an accident to a freight
train on the Georgia road, at Oconee
station early yesterday morning. We
could not leern the causo of it, nor
any particulars as to the damage
done—only that it was a “big smash-
up.’’ The injury to the road was so
great that it could not be repaired
yesterday.
The day traiu from Augusta went
to the break and the passengers and
mails were transferred. This train
hnd not returned from the place of
disaster, at the time the Athens
branch train left Union Point yester
day afternoon—which was about lour
o'clock. Nobody was hurt in the ac
cident.

heavy, weighing about 2,200 or 2,300
pounds without its supply of water or
coal; and as our town is hilly and

engine large enough to move it with
facility.

o’clock. The large two-story wooden
residence of Mrs. Masoo, on Oconee

defective chimney. The alarm quick

extinguished the fire. So quickly was

Mad <?> Dor.
Hearing an unu-ual racket in our

we armed ourselves with an Indian
club and coal sctilde and peered cau
tiously without. The scene which met
our slartTcd gaze will long remain in
memory as a horrible.phantom. Our
brave \oung friend BIr. E. T. Brown,
perched upon the stair^railings, was
engaged with a broom and bucket of
water, in fierce conflict with a fero
cious lookin gyellow dog—“a one-eyed
ornery cuss.” Closing our door and
mounting a table we assisted with
shower of missiles from the transonic
light. After destruction ol much per-

The Sew Pioneer House.
Through the courtesy of Capt.
Williams, who has them in charge,
we have been permitted to examine I
the plans for the new house tor Pio-.!
neer Hook and Ladder Company.
The drawings are the work of Mr.
Owen L. Williams, and they are as
fine speciment of the draughtsman’s
skill as one could wish to see.
The. Pioneer house will be two
stories high, in the Gothie style, with
tower on the left front corner, with
belfry and observatory iu it. There
will also be a place for a clock, which
ought to be put in if possible. The
house will be about 40 by 53 feet, and
the tower will be about 65 feet high.
On the ground floor, the main room
will be nsed for the hook and ladder
truck and the Babcock engine. In
one corner there will be two stalls and
a feed room for the horses. There
will be a bed room for the driver, just
in the rear of the tower, and another
corner will contain a lavatory and a
water-closet.
The upper story will contain the
hall, the steps to which ate in the
tower. Each end will have a large
bay window of handsome proportions
The front part will be cut off into a
sort of vestibule-, in one end of which
will be a ladies’ lavatory, tor the nse of
visitors. At the other end will be
two enclosures, after the fashion of
large cupshoards, which are intended
for keeping the uniforms and other
such property of the company.
It is doubtful if there will be a
finer fireman’s hall in Georgia. It is
to occupy the corner of Jackson and
Matket streets, and will be a great
ornament to that part of the city.
The Piopeers now have about $3,-
000 in their treasury. Efforts will
be made before Tong to raise what
ever other fiiuda are needed to build
the house. Bids from contractors are
now bring solicited for building' the
bouse, and as soon as a satisfactory
one is received, the work will be be
gun. Tbe Pioneers are a gallant set
of firemen and include some of the
best citizens of-Athena in their mem'
berabip. Wo &iah them all posable
access in their laudable enterprise.
Let us help one auother by endeav
oring to strengthen and encourage
the weak, and lifting tbe burdens of
care from the weary, by recommend
ing them to Skiff’s, the jeweler, lor a
watch or clock that life may glide
smoothly on time. All kinds of jew

Both the Methodist churches iu taken to initiate the work.
And so were tin-y by the inimitable
dialogue of Misses Tillie Morton and
May Bernard—“ The little hatchet
story.” These little misses acted
their part sjexcellontly, and were heart
ily applauded. A brilliant instrumen
tal solo by Prof. Buttel closed this
delightful entertainment
AN OBVIOUS CONCLUSION.
No person who was present at this
entertainment could help seeing that
n suitable chapel for the Institute is a
necessitv. We cannot help believing
that sufficient.fuuds could be obtained
for the erection of a chapel, if a .be
ginning were made and the matter
was put in the hands of the right men.
So far as we can learn, Athena was
never yet lacking in liberality, when
ever a public enterprise was on foot;
and we do not believe she would be
in this case, if the right stops were
(For the Banner.)
The North-Eastern Directory,
was the regular meeting day,
and at the appointed honr the presi
dent whistled, and the directors took
oft’ their hats. Tire secretary wad the
minutes in a peculiar voice ? which
was unmistakable evidence that he lias
two voices —one for weighty, business
like minute-reading, and another
whose dulcet tones were employed to
soothe the cry of pain. The minutes
were read aud adopted. What el-e
could have been done with them, when
they only said the board met and
short'y adjourned ?
This time the superintendent had
a report to’make, and when that offi
cial appeared leaning on the arms of
two directors, there was a teeble effort
at applause, llis report was an able
one; it stated that tiie business of the
oad for the past month had been good;
that the officials were competent: that
the track was not too rough ; that the
engines were two in number, and that
the train had at rived twice on time
during the month. The opinion of all
was that the report was a good one,
and the superintendent received the
plaudit ‘tceU donu.’
Die able director who had been
conferring with * P. A. S.’ in reference
to the extension ot the road, s.tid it
was his otunion, as well ns the opin
ion of * P. A. S.,’ that if the proper
overtures were made to 'he company
who represented ten millions ot dol
lars, the road would soon be com
pleted to its proposed termination
Ho suggested that 4 H. W. G.’ and
4 P. A. S.’ be giveu full authority in
the matter, and was confident that the
road would be built in one year. He
supported his suggestion ill an able
speech and cited the Georgia Wes
tern, which had been built (?) by the
sole efforts of ‘II. W. G.’ and pointed
to the increasing business of Augusta
as the result of ‘P. A. S.’ Knoxville
route.
His remarks made a deep impress
siou on the magnates present, anil at.
cue time it seemed as if his suggestion
would he adopted. But a director
with sonic judgment asked how these
two men could complete the exten
sion. 4 Easy enough,’ was his reply
and he mumbled something about the
Constitution and another ore of the
big dailies.
His suggestion tell flat after a warm
supporter of the ‘powers that be’ sug
gested the election of Joe Brown as
president. The Baptist portion of the
directory took to the idea immediate
ly, but there was a good sprinkling
of other church members in the hoard,
and this was voted down.
Then an intelligent director made
the suggestion that the present forty
miles of the road be sold, and the
purchase money applied to the build
ing of the extension. This look won
derfully well—the whole board was
electrified by the brilliant suggestion,
and an officer in the next room said it
was a divine inspiration. A vote ol
thanks was tendered the mover of
this admirable suggestion, and the
prospects of the speedy extension were
imbed bright when the civil engineer
walked iu. The plan was told him ;
he started ; a smile of happiness fit up
his countenance, but it remained there
only for an instant, and the wonted,
sad expression came baek. Taking a
piece of chalk he marked <>r. a board
the following •
40 mile* equipped rood will *ell for ... $250,000
30 miles roiui, grade und equipped, will
cost 300,000
Balance against road 50.000
with ten miles less road.
The board iooked at the calculation
for a long time, and one director made
ten marks on the board and then
rubbed out five and said the calcula
tion was correct. -A solemn silence
rested on the extension builders. Then
hope rose once more iu the hearts of
all, when a director whose well known
intelligence gave torcc to his remarks,
said there was in town a new paper
called the Reporter, which answ -red
questions of all kinds with wonderful
accuracy, and with a large amount of
foresight, and he moved that the
wfcoie nutter he referred to that pa
per. This was deemed best and the
secretary wrote the following:

Alas 1 those beautiful tresses were
the means of dragging that innocent
child to a horrible and untimely death.
In passing under a shaft ot tho ma
chinery the child’s head enrne close to
a nut which projected a little below
the shait, and it caught in her hair
and by the rapid revolutions, of the
shait she was instantly drawn against
it, and in the twinkling of :u) eye she
was whirled into the air, and before
her screems for help could he heeded
by the engineer, her little form had
spun a dozen revolutions and whipped
to death by the ponderous machinery.
The whole scalp was torn from the
head, her limbs broken to pieces
and her body torn and mangled in :
most horrible manner.
Frtsli Groceries.
Lives of eroccry men remind us
They can make their starch half lime,
And with su:iar wholly blind us,
Putting sand in all the time.
But goods purchased at the popu
lar family grocery store of S. C. Dobbs
have no suspicion of foul play about
them, because his stock is always
fi esh and pure, and is kept moving all
the lime.

Athens have new pastors for the en
suing year. Rev. Blessrs. Yarbrough
and Branham were quite popular with
their congregations, and will be given
up with much regret. Both were de
sired to be returned, but tbe authori
ties thought it best that it should be
otherwise.
The new pastor of the Oconee street
church, wc are not acquainted with.
He is known to'many of the members,
however, and they speak ot him as
being very acceptable.
Rev. Mr. Wadsworth, we know
very well. He is young—being about
thirty—but is one of the best preach
ers in the conference, and is so es
teemed by his fellow-ministers. He
is a scholar and a student; a raacrof
natural gifts aud of culture. As a
preacher, he is bold, incisive, plain
and strong. lie preaches the pure
;ospol without reference to the tradi
tions of men. He is ardent in tem-
perameut and zealous in work. His
piety is warm and true and deep, and
liis earnestness is contagious. In his
methods lie is skillful and enterprise
inp. Iu a word, he is well adapted to
work, and he does not shirk it.
Ho lias been in the ministry about
ten years, and ditriug that time has
held positions as important and re
sponsible os liis present charge. From
an intimate acquaintance witli him,
we have no doubt that his labors in
Athens will be very acceptable to his
cherch, and very fruilhd. In per
sonal appearance, he is strikingly
handsome, aud in bis tuauuers, he' is
genial and affable.

Return of Hiss Alta Gray.
Tiie lovers oi the drama will be de
lighted to learn that Bliss Ada Gray,
the great emotional sfetress, who so
delighted our people some weeks ago,
is to give our city another visit uext
week. On Wednesday night she will
play Lucretia Borgia. Hers are all
“taking” plays. They arc received, as
rendered by Miss Gray’s Company,
with the utmost satisfaction whenever
presented. The Cincinnati Commercial
says:
44 Bliss Gray was magnificent as Lu
cretia Borgia; a part of her grand
voice and superb physique peculiarly
fits her for. Her costumes in this
were particularly elegant, and espe
cially the one of black velvet, with
black lace mantle and jet coronet, she
made a picture as she parted tiie
crimson curtains at tiie hack of thc
stage and stood before the company
of roistering young cavaliers, tri
umphant, revengetul woman, calctis
lated to stay long in the memories
who saw her. For a portrayal of ma
lignant, releutless hatred, as given in
her scene with the Duke when Gen-
naro is momentarily expected, we
have never seen her surpassed.’’
