A Lsi-ge Result from a Small Best an lag.
Prominent on the corner of Clayton
Street and College Avenue stands the
mammoth establishment of Talmadge,
llodyson Co. It is three stories
in height and occupies what was
originally built for three stores, a con
cert hall aud a number of offices.
The three stores on the ground
floor have been thrown into one. In
the corner room is the retail depart*
nient. Here is kept every article that
is needed for provisioning a family.
Every variety ol groceries—both
staple aud fancy—is found here, sold
in quantities to suit purchasers, and
at the lowest possible prices. A large
corps of clerks is on hand, to antici
pate the wants of all customers aud
they are kept busy handling the large
quantities of tamily supplies which
find their way out of the doors. A
large delivery wagon is kept busy all
the time carryiug the supplies to cus
tomers in different parts of the city.
Proceeding a little further, we find
a department devoted to flour, sugar
and coffee. If we were fo attempt
to te.l what quantities of these articles
there are piled up here, it would
sound like an exaggeration. Tal

by the car-load simply, but by the

SEW YEAR’S DAY.
member, that a kind word goes
farther than a harsh oiip.
New Year’s day should also be the
day to examine ourselves, in a religi
ous point of view. The beast, which
pastures on the field, or is fed by the
hand ol man, is not endowed with
that blessed intellect to think of the
great hereafter. It is man only who
is so blessed and therefore, shall we
not reason and reflect on that which
concerns ns the most—the life beyond
the grave ? Can sins be forgiven ?
We have our serious doubt. Sins
can be removed only, and atoned for,
by sincere repentance and a multitude
of good deeds. Then it is within the
power of every one to be purified of
their sins, through sincere repentance
and through a multitude of good
deeds, and every one, be he ever so
poor’y educated, or so poor in means,
has it within his power to repent, to
do good, and thus the soul will re»

Two Men Meet Their Death.
(From Saturdays Constitution.)!
Yesterday evening between 2 and
Rev. (ieo. W. Vnl-linm-h.
This gentleman left for his new
home, Newnan, Friday morning.
During tiis two years pastoral charge
ot the first Methodist church in Ath
ens, ho greatly endt-ared himself to all
with whom he has come in contact
As an elegant, affable, warm-hearted
gentleman and as a faithful, earnest
preacher of the gospel, he was alike
popular, and we speak knowingly
when we say that there are many
heartfelt regrets in Athens at bis leav
ing. The people of Newnan are fort'
unule iu having him remove to their

Runaway.
The fiery, untamed steed of Mr.
Thomas Genus—the gray mure, which
carries the mail to and Watkinsville—
ran away Friday morning. It
possible that she wanted to anticipate
Christmas and have a little fun of her
own ; but whatever was her motive,
she made the quickest time that was
ever made up college avenue. She ran
into the buggy of Mr. Eliznr Newton,
but she might a* well have undertaken
to break down one of the pyramids.
She passed it by, and went onward
and upward. Result: shaft brokeD,
harness broken, and one wheel broken.
Christmas Hay.
Christmas was an awful day in
Athens. We did not come down
town, but from ail that we can hear,
thq drunkenness, brawling and noise
were unprecedented. One informant
says there was a general fight going
on the whole length of the business
part of Broad street. While this
statement is proaldy exaggerated
somewhat, yet it is true that there
was a general fighting going ou, not
only on Broad street, but on other
streets in the business part ot the city.
Il is said that there were forty-
eight in the station-house at one time.
We have no disposition to go into do
tails. Suffice it to say the conduct on
the streets was disgracetul.
The municipal authorities of Athens
owe it to the decent portion of the
community, that such scenes should
never be eDacled here again—eithet
wholly or in part. It is no use to Bay
such things cannot l>e prevented
They can be prevented as well
on oue day as on another. There
is no more need of giving license to

A Protest.
Editor Daily Danner .—Every
good citizen will protest against the re
petition ofthe disgraceful scenes which
were enacted on Christmas day. Such
drunkenness, such continuous blasphe
my and brawling, never seen here
before, would have disgraced the vilest
pothouses in the lowest slums of the
country. Whose fault this is, I do
not pretend to say, but that such a
thing is possible, is much to the dis
credit of the city authorities. If the
police force cannot cope with a lot ot
drunken rowdies, the'incoming coun
cil should remove the exciting cause.
There is an ordinance in force closing
the barrooms and inhibiting the sale
of liquor on election days; why not on
Christmas and New Year’s days too ?
The sole advantage in the present cus
tom accrues to the pockets of some
half-dozen saloon-keepers, while fines
and bruises and wounds, and womeu’s
tears and children’s wants fill the col
umn on the other side. Shall the
birth of the world’s Redeemer he cel-
brated in such acts ? Shall each re
turn of this day bring to the ears of
our wives and daughters the yells aud
oaths and foul expressions which even
the sanctity of their homes cannot
shut out ? I call upen the city council
to add this amendment to their O'di-
nance, that their skirts at least may
be clear of the repetition of such an
infamy. That body is leeponsible for
what it can prevent, and it they retuse

endorsing the disturbances of Christ

their orders forre-
Just to men
tion two items, it tfaffid astonish you
to see the extended rates of boxes of
crackers and candies w^ich are stored
away here. A' few days ago they
had a carload ot fancy French candy
in this room aud yesterday there were
onlj a tew five-pound boxes left.
They sold a thousand cocoa-nuts iu
the past two days.
A few steps further up the street,
they have a warehouse in which are
stored cotton, ties, hay, corn and
syrup This addition to an already
immense store-house gives them ample
room for the transaction of one of the
largest businesses ever carried on in
Northeast Georgia.
But time would fail us to tell, with
anything like detail, of the particulars
of this large business. Its origin is
very interesting, and shows what
pluck will do. In 1805, Messrs. C.
G. and J. E. Talmadge, both boys
under twenty, opened a store opposite
to their present stand, without a dol
lar of capital, and with no stock ex
cept filly cents worth of rice, which
their mother gavo them. They sold
this right away, and increased their
stock. Again they sold out, and again
replenished, and in a short time they
were bold enough to go to Mr. Rufus
Reaves, and make application to buy
what to them then was a big stock.
Mr. Reaves sold them a bill amount
ing to *216, on the condition that they
should either pay him in thirty days
or give back tbe goods. C *
This bill was promptly met. Other
persons bad seen the efforts the boys
were making, and had become inter
ested in them. On the recummenda>
tion ot a friend, Mr. Bridges, a trav
eler for George W. Williams & Co.,
of Charleston, offered to sell them,
whatever they wanted. They made
out a bill—sitting np nearly all night
to do it—amounting to about 8600.
The goods were received and sold, and
thousands of dollars they spent with
this house which had befriended them
in their time cf need.
In 1870 they took in as a partner,
Mr. E. R. Hodgson; in 1873, they
took in Mr. A. H. Hodgson, and thus
the firm stands now. In *1874 they
moved to their present quarters.
They buy only from manutaclurers
and importers.
Thus from a most insignificant be
ginning has grown oue ot the big
gest businesses in Athens, and it is
still growing. They own their store
and warehouse, and each partner
owns the house he lives in. With
ample capital, abundance of enetgy,
full of the buoyancy of youth—all
being under thirty-five years of age—
there is no telling to what height of
success they will attain.
his quarter twice before he decides to
spend it— one who dreams not with
his eyes open, but who works with
fixed purpose.
The New Year’s day should be the
very day on which bachelors should
decide to give up single blessedness
and become double-blessed, by enter
ing the holy shrine of matrimony ; for
no man is complete unless he marries,
and when he is married and happily
mated, his best qualities are drawn
out to his own great benefit and to
that of humanity. It men wish to
prosper, live happy, make their mark
in the world, and not pass away like
a shadow on the wall, let them seri>
ously look around to find the right
fsJfSon and marry, and thus fulfill the
wise precept: “Marry and multiply.’’
A married life is the only true life to
live.
New Year’s day should be tbe day
to make a last will and testament, es
pecially if the estate is large, and
when making our will it would not be
amiss to remember these wise words:
“ It is oot ray intention to leave to my
children too much of an inheritance,
for too much money only spoils them.’’
Let us leave them less money but
more of a good example, and above all
ool name; a good name is a for
tune in itself. Remember also the
public institutions liberally, and your
name as benefactor will go down to
posterity.
The New Year’s day should also be
the day on which the more favored,
ifcT more fortunate, should remember,
the leas favored of bis family, not to
give them money, for that would de
grade them; but to assist them direct
ly and indirectly, so that they, too
might get along better in this world ;
and if they have so decided upon, let
them remaiu firm to cany out their
noble resolution, even if they re
ceive no thanks, but ingratitude in
return, they will have one great satis
faction—that of having done their
duty toward those, who possess a
claim od them through family ties.
New Year’s day should be the day
on which the poor at large should be
remembered, and appropriations be
made tor the coming years, and as
the year advances, not to decrease,
but rather increase the benevolent
gifts, thanking God, that we are able
to give, that we are the givers, and
not the suppliants-
New Year's day should be the day
for heads ot families, to review, calm
ly, the past year, to see where and
when mistakes were made, and to
make a note of it, in order to avoid
them in tbe futifre. If they know
after mature reflection, that their
children do not assooiate with the
right company, to reason with them

This otder was retained until order
No. 705 was eeut to Norcross at
12:29 p. m. as follows:
hour, consequently the engineer and
firetran had abundant time to jump
off and. thus escipc. The passenger
train was running about forty miles
an hour and when the engine strurk
the shock was terrible. The mail
coach, which was just in the rear of
the tender, was * telescoped’ by it.
The baggage car was next to the mail
coach, but the Miller platform saved
all but the platform itself. Besides
the injuries to these cars and the en
gine, but little hurt was done the pas
senger train.
When the cause of the quick stop
wns known, Captain Sims rushed to
the engine where he found Keys dead
under the side of the engine, and Col
lins, the lower portion of whose body
was buried under the debis, struggling
for freedom.
At once every available hand went
to work with a will to extricate tho
dead and dying, and alter quite an
amount of labor their work was re
warded, but the sight that met their
eyes was indeed harrowing. Keys
was horribly mutilated—bis left leg
being torn to shreds and his face and
body literally cooked and scalded. A
stick of wood entered his abdomen
and was driven into bis body, tearing
it almost asunder. The bones of his
leg were broken in pieces, the ends of
which pertruded through the mutilat
ed flesh, llis loot was almost detached
from his leg and the sight made the
stoutest turn witli shuddering from its
contemplation.^
Over his loft eye was a terrible
bruise and tho side of his face was
badly mashed. There he lay, his full,
handsome beard matted with the
blood bruised from his body, which,
but a moment before, was full of life
and health.
The fireman was also badly crushed
but, strange to say, lived until just
before the relief train left for Atlanta.
His head and shoulders were not
bruised or hurt but the rest of the poor
fireman was crushed out of all sem
blance to humauity.

tried, and which proved ’worthless, I
do not hesitate to endorse your inven

The operator at Norcross immediate

asked if the red flag should be taken
in, to which an immediate reply was
sent: “ No, it is out for order No.

then asked if order No. 702 was still
in force, in reply to which he said,
“ It you will note time in 702 has ex
