Why is it that Athens will not give
good companies a good house ? It is
certainly not the fault of our manager
Mr. W. H. Jones, for he certainly
tries to please the pnhlic in all of his
undertakings, aud is working hard to
build up our beautiful little city.
W. A. Burns also sells Provisions,
Dry Goods Hats, Boots and Shoes.
Call on him, next door to J. C. Pit-

Personal.
Wo had the pleasure yesterday,
through Dr. Mell, of au introduction
to Mr P P Carter, of Richmond. Mr
Carter is an artist, and visits Athens
for the purpose of following his pros
fesion. Hu conies well recommends
ed, and we hope our citizens will give
him a liberal patronage.

Gone to hew York.
Mr. M. G. Cohen, of the firm of
M. G. it J. Cohen, proprietors of the
famous “ Paris ” store of Athens, left
for New York Monday afternoon, to
lay in a Spring stock. The Cohens
are always in good time, and always
have as well selected and comprehen
sive a slock of goods as any house in
Georgia.
Death of Itr.J.B. Carlton.
Dr. Joseph B. Carlton died Tliura-
day morning about three o’clock. He
had been in bad health some months
but if we are not mistaken, his ill-
ness w is not couriered dangerous
until a short time before his death.
He was fifty.five or sixty years of
age, and was probably the oldest
physician in Athens engaged in prac
tice.
Dr. Carlton was a man of noble
heart, full of the best impulses. The
practice of his profession afforded
ample scope for the exercise of those
impulses, and his work was good—
whether as a physician or as a philan»
theopist—which every good phsician
is. The writer cannot speak person*
sonally of Dr. Carlton, but the testi-
mony of others—the universal regret
that pervades the city—the many
tributes to his worth that fall almost
involuntarily from the lips of those
who knew him long and well—tehse
tell better than the pen of a stranger
could, the excellence of the man.-
Dr. Carlton’s Funeral.
Seldom, if ever was there a larger
attendance nt a funeral in Athens
than that ofDr J B Carlton. His fine
talents, used to such advantage in his
profession, and his kind heart which
found so wide a field for the opera
tion of its noble qualities, had given
him a hold upon the regard of the
people which brought them out in
crowds to attend the last sad rites
performed over his mortal remains.
The services were at the First Metho-
dist church ; the house was crowded,
and the discourse by Mr Wadsworth
was appropriate and eloquent.
Thus has passed away from earth
forever one of the best known and
lopular citizens of Athens
A blessing to humanity is what. Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup can well be termed
for it has done more good already
than anv other medicine.
Dentil on Turkeys.
Mr. John White, at his residence
near Athens, yesterday morning
killed three wild '.urkevs at one shot.
One of them must have weighed twen
ty pounds. Last Saturday he killed
two and the Tuesday before he killed
two. lie is a veritable Nimrod
among the tnrkevs.

What is the Result.
Theie are a number of business
houses in Athens that never advertise
They “ don’t think it pays.” and we
shall not quarrel with *hem on that
account, for every business man has
n right to conduct his own legitimate
business as ho sees fit ; but are they
prosperous as compared with those
who liberally use printers’ink ? Look
around and see.
The Burgess guano is the “ Boss,”
and sold direct from the factoiy. Call
on W. A Burns to get it. feb8-3t.
Large Orders.
Last Friday, Messrs Ori & Hunter
brokers, of this place, sold forty-two
car loads of groceries to merchants of
Athens. Twcnlyssix of them were to
Reaves, Nicholson «fc Co., and eleven
to Talmage, Hodgson it Co. This
, gives an idea of the immense amount
of business done here. There are
probably one hundred car loads of
goods now in transit to Athens gro
cery merchants.
~ W. A. Burns pays cash for his
guano, and can sell cheaper than
uiose who sell for commission.

Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company.
This company attained its twenty-
first birthday at its last annual meet
ing. The first truck it had was a
home-made affair—two pair of wagon
wheels, with the connection leng
thened out so as to take on the lad
ders. Of the original members only
two arc left—Mayor Beusse and Mr.
John Bird. The present truck was
bought in 1869. The company also
runs a large Babcock extinguisher,
drawn by a pair cf horses.
The Pioneers include many of the
best young men in Athens. It num
bers sixty members, and has b'.en
worked up to a remarkable stale ot
efficiency. There is perhaps no
similar organization in any fire depart
ment that excels it in those qnali' ies
which constitute efficiency. It is al
ways ready, and always in place, and
always works with good results. It
would be difficult to tell the amount
of good that this company has done,
in saving property in this city.
The company now owns a lot which
is valued at $700 ; has several hun
dred dollars in its treasury ; has a
good subscription list of $1,500, and
wants enough more to erect that
elegant hall, a description of which
was given in the Banner some time
since. To aid in this worthy enter
prise, a party of young Indies and
gentlemen of this city have consent
ed to present a comic opera—■“ The
Doctor of Alcantara”—which will be
done on the evening of Thursday,
February 3d. The best talent in the
city will participate in this opera, anil
all who attend will have an eveuing
ot rare enjoyment, as well as aid in
building up an organization which has
been very useful, and which is worthy
of all encouragement. The citizens
generally should give their patronage
to this enterprise.
Matrimony is on a tidal wave in
Athens. Thursday there were three
marriages in cur little city.
m’duffie-beese,
At 8J a. m., Mr. Archie McDuffie
was married, by Rev. W. W. Wads
worth, at the first Methodist church,
to Miss Julia Reese. Mr. McDuffie
the head salesman of the large
house of M. G & J. Cohen, and is
one of the most popular and worthy
gentlemen in our city. His bride is a
daughter of Mr. S. C. Reese, one of
the oldest citizrns of Athens—a young
lady who has ever been admired lor
her many excellent qualities of head
and heart. There were no attendants.
The bridal couple left immediately on
a visit to relatives in Washington,
Go.
FELLOWS-BAKEB.
Mr. C. S. Fellows wa9 married at
4 p. m., at the residence of Mr. Ja*
cob Holmes, by Rev. J. C. Johnson,
to Miss .Sallie Baker, of Conyers.
Mr. Fellows is a worthy young gen-
tleman, who has lived in this city all
his hte and is well known to a large
circle of friends. The fair lady has
been on a visit here only about a
fortnight,' hut he saw her, acknow
ledge his fate, surrendered, and was
led captive yesterday at Hymen’s
altar,
GOTTHKIMER-STERN.
The synagogue was crowded at an ear
ly hour yesterday evening, to witness
the marriage ot Mr. William Gotihei-
mer, one of the leading merchants of
Lexington, to Miss Adellieid Stern,
the accomplished sister of Mr. Chas.
Stern—a lady,well known and very
popular in Hebrew society in Athens.
A beautiful canopy of white lace
supported by tour pillows, and deco
rated with evergreen, stood in front
of the altar.
After an iuterval of expecta
tion, the notes of the organ, under
the skillful touch of Miss Hull, sounds
ed the wedding march, and the bri
dal party entered, as follows: Mr.
and Mrs Moses Myers, Mr and Mrs
Gottheimer, brother and sister of the
groom, Maxtei Mordecai Marks and
Miss 7/clen Marks, Master Jacob
Stern and Miss Nora Stern—then
came the groom and bride.
The ceremony was very interesting
and was new to many present. Dr
Gluck received them with a few in
vocations in Hebrew —which he then
spoke in English. He gave a glass of
wine, of which bo'h drank This lie
said meant that they must henceforth
share life as one Then came a ring
ceremony, and the solemn vows were
taken The wine-glass was handed
to the groom, which lie crushed with
his foot. Dr Gluck explained this to
be symbolic of a prayer that, as the
glass was destroyed lurever, so might
all trouble and sorrow be, henceforth,
to them
After a brief and impressive ad
dress, Dr Gluck pronounced them
man and wife, and the audience was
dismissed The friends of the newly
wedded, repaired to 7/unniciitt Hill,
where a magnificent ball was held,
bicli was attended by the elite of
Hebrew society and was a brill'
iant affair.
A Friend’s Tribute
Gottheuier-Stebm.—M trued
Thursday evening, at 7 o’clock, at
the Synagogue, by Rev. Dr. - Gluck,
Mr. William Gottheimer, of Lexing-
ton. G.i, to Miss Adelheid Stem, of
this city. The groom Ls one ef Lex
ington’s rising merchants, and has
many warm friends who will congrat
ulate him upon his success in winning
so charming a lady.
The bride is well known in Athens,
where she has been residing for the
past eleven years, aDd during that
time hag made scores of admirers,
and her absence from that circle of
friends which her kind and lovable
disposition has drawn around her,
will bo deeply felt. She is not only
one of the most charming ladies of
Athens, hut wherever known, her
sweet disposition, her charming man
ners and her elegant bearing, are
much admired. Whilst we part
with this one ot Athens fairest daugh
ters with deep regret, we congratu'
late Lexington upon the addition
thus made to her social circle and
predict that in a short Jtime she will
be as great a favorite there as here.
The H. Y. M. will tender the couple
a complimentary hop at Hunnicutt
Hall on Monday evening next. The
couple will leave for their future
home on Tuesday via the Georgia
Railroad. May joy go with them.

Stuiidnrd Guanos.
Messrs. Orr & Hunter advertise
some guanos, in the Banner, which
ate standard. In fact, they won’t sell
any other sort. They have been
handling fertilizers a long time, and
they kuow what they ate about.
Farmers who buy from Orr & Ilunr
ter oan rely on their statements, and
therefore on the quality of what they
sell—and in guanos, quality is every
thing. Those who intend to use fer
tilizers will find it to their interest to
call on Orr & Hunter. They can give
you good articles at low prices.
They say business is dull; sugar
and coffee are selling slowly. Not so
with Dr. Bull’s Cough Sprup, we nn»
dersiand onr druegists can hardly
supply the demand.

The Lucy Cobb Entertainment.
The entertainment of the pupils
of Lucy Cobb Institute came off
Wednesday night. There was a good
audience present, but not as large as
it should have been, considering the
merits of the entertainment and the
cause to which the proceeds were to
be given.
The exhibition opened with the
ever beautiful, never tiresome calis
thenics. This was followed by two
very brilliant instrumental pieces—
one a duett by Miss Sallie Harris and
Prof. Buttell, and the other a solo by
Miss Ilnllcnan, a very fine performer
for-her age, Mis- Sallie Campbell res
cited an extract from Tom Sawyer,
in a manner which the author (Mark
Twain) would have enjoyed.
Three solos were rendered in ad 1
mirable style—one by Miss Skiff, from
La Fille du Regiment; one by Miss
Harris, by Lucia, aud one by Miss
Hanson from La Soinnambula. The
resitation of “Five Little Pigs," by
five sweet little girls, Lucy Hunni-
cutt, Maud Hill, Mary Erwin, Eula
and Ferry Bird, was inimitable, and
brought down the house.
The Little Housekeepers,’’ were
charmingly represented by eleven
beautiful little girls—Maggie Bigham,
Willie Norris, Mattie Bigham, Livy
Cobb. .Lizzie Eberbart, Alice Hun
ter, Mamie Reynolds, Annie Beusse,
Mamie Newton, May Bernard and
Minuie.Weil. Miss Mary Nicholson
played a difficult fantasie in fine style;
Prof. Buttell gave a brilliant piano
solo; Miss Maggie Morton sang a ser
enade in a style which was unexcelled
daring the evening.
Miss Bishop recited our old familiar
friend, “Cousin Sallie Dillard,” and
pleased the audience hugely. *’Tbe
Wanderer,” sung by Miss Skiff, ac
companied by Mr. A. L. Hull on the
flute, was one of the gems ot the
evening. Miss Stovall, Miss Harris,
and MiasHanson favored the audience
with very fine instrumental pieces;
as did also Prof. Butte’l. The per-
fotmance closed with another exhibi
tion of calisthenics with which the au*
(lienee was delighted.
Transferred to Athens.
Rev. W D Johnson, who for the
past three years has been pastor of St.
James A. M. E. Church in this city,
has been transferred by the anual con-
terence to Athens, Ga. All regret
his leaving, not only his congregatation
but all ot the whites who knew of his
ability and stability of character. He
is well educated, delivers a fine lec
ture, aud is a man of great influence
among his people. The church of
Athens is to be congratulated on se
curing him for a pastor. His influ
ence in any community is for good,
and we hear'ily commend him to the
people of Athens, both white and
black.— Columbus Enquirer.

WHAT I WISH. .
I wjah my love were lemon punch,
With strawberries floating in the cop;
And ehe end I coaid meet at lunch —
Then with a straw—I’d suck her up.
I wish my love was like the Jew,
And had cold laid away in atore,
Dye think I’d read oxchangea through—
Or write for papers any more I ••
I wieh like flowers that fondly meet.
And bloom to famish bees their honey,
We had tome way while life ia sweet—
Of keeping house without maeh mousy.
—Wm. Henri Moore in Augusta Sewt.
OHIO. i
There is a period in the life of every
man when it appears to be all up with
him. His money is gone. His friends
have given him the cold shoulder, and
his girl has gone back on him and
plighted her troth with a bald-headed
man in the soap-boiling business.
Then he locks himself up in his room,
with a bottle of laudanum in one hand
and a seven -shooter in the other, and
tossed up for first choice. This is all
wrong. He ought to present that re
volver to an Irish landlord, give the
laudanum to some fellow’s mother-in-
law, and say it’s hop bitters, and move
into Ohio.
Let him move into Ohio, and if he
has any earthly use for poison or lead
inside ot six months, we’ll eat our hel
met. We once knew a man who kept
a dairy. He did a thriving business,
sold oceans and oceans of milk, and
made lots of money. He awoke one
morning, and found himself not fa
mous, but water-logged. His pump
bad run dry! He was in despair.
He sent for a plumber and well-dig
ger, and had a well dug. But there
was no water. He spent his last
cent in boring for water, but it was
of no use; and when ruin stared him
in the face a friend advised him to
move into Ohio. lie did so. In three
weeks he became aepuainted with the
Governors private Secretary. Through
him he got to know the Governor.
The Governor procured for him con
tracts tor supplying milk to all the
State institutions. When election
time came he “fixed” things in bis
ward, victory perched on his banner,
and then he waited on the Governor
and presented his claim. In a mouth
he got a government clerkship. Then
he cast his eye on a fat sinecure in
the Treasury Department, held by a
Pennsylvania man. He expressed a
longing for that office to a friend of
the Presidents. Presto, chance! and
it was done. The Pennsylvania man
was removed for “incompatibility,’’
and the Ohio man was put in his
place. And now they talk of creating
a new cabinet office for the sole ben
efit of tne Buckeye granger.
Whenever you feel like giving up,
put away your evil thoughts aud
move into Ohio. You’ll never regret
it. We would move there ourselves,
only—yes—ah—that is to say —we’re
a Democrat, that’s all—a red-hot-
never- say-die-come-up-to-t!ie- scra'ch

A Big Store and a large Stock-
The readers of the Banner are fir
miliar with tho name of S. C." Dobbs,
for he takes pains to keep them in
formed of the inducements which he
has to offer. Any one looking at the
front of bis store, would not suppose
his stock is so large, so various, or bo
comprehensive as it is.
The store, though unpretending in its
front appearance, extends way hack,
a hundred feet or more, and is piled
from floor to ceiling with goods of
almost every discretion that the
people want. There are provirions
enough to feed a moderate size army.
Then there are staple drygoods
enough to clothe the wives and chil-
died of the army; and there is an
immense stock of shoes—not simply
brogans, and mens shoes, bnt an ele-
gnnt stock for ladies’ and children’s
wear. Besides there is crockery, and
wiioden ware, and saddles and har
ness—and really, wet cannot remem
ber what else, though we took a good
look through the stare. The fact is,
the multitude of goods bewildered
the eyes, and confused the memory.
Just now, Col. Dobbs is laying
stress on his guanos. These are made
direct to his order, aud be knows
their component parts. Every ton ot
them must come up to the stadard—
and a high one it is—or be will not
have it. This gives planters a guar
antee that what .hey buy from him
will be of the best quality.
Added to this, Col. Dobbs is a
genial, polite, accommodating gentle
man—one who gives his customers
the benefit of the lowest possible
prices, and who understands that his
interest and that of his customers are
mutual. It is a pleasure to deal with
such a man. See his advertisement
in another oolumn.

From the York (Pa.) Daily, February 2*
New York, January 27, 1881.—
Hon Chauncey F. Black: My Dear
Sir.—I have received your letter nos
titying me of my unanimous election
as the first honorary member of the
Jeffersonian Association of New York
I accept the distinction thus conferred
in order to testify my approval and
commendation of the objects of your
association. Tbos Jefferson has a
title to the esteem and gratitude ot
the American people even greater
than that which he derived from being
the author ot the Declaration of Iu
dependence, and from being the
author of the statute of religious free
doin by the Slate of Virginia. During
all the bloody conflicts of the Ameri
can revolution, and the civil struggles
out of which our system of govern
nient emerged; and the controversies
through which was impressed upon it
the character of a government “ by
the people, for the people,*’ he was the
apostle of human freedom, and the
greatest leader of that beneficent
philosophy which was embodied in
our institutions.
At a time when powerful tendencies
are at work to subvert the original
character of our government—to
break down the limitations of power
established by the Constitution—to
centralize the action and iufluence of
official authorities—to create a govern
iug class, u-iiig the machinery of
government as a corrupt balance of
power in the elections, and then shap
ing legislation and administration in
the interest ot the few against the
many—tne precepts and example of
such a man as. Mr. Jefferson cannot
be too olteu invoked. The formation
of societies which can act as centres
of discussion, and as agencies for the
propagation ot the pure principles ot
the fathers ot the republic, is a meas
ure capable of great service to the
people and to mankind.
With assurances of sympathy and
esteem, to the members of your as
sociation and to yourselfj I have the
honor to be, your fellow citizen,
Samuel J. Tilden.
A writer in Scribner’s Monthly uses
the following strong language, which
will be responded to by the women
who have suffered all over the land:
“ Of the worst lues that women have
ever had to encounter wine stands at
the head. The appetite for strong
drink in men has spoiled the lives of
more women—ruined more hopes lor
them, scattered more fortunes for
them, brought to them more shame,
sorrow and hardship—than auy other
evil that lives. The country numbers
tens of thousands—nay, hundreds of
thousands of women who arc widows
to-day, and sit in hopeless weeds, be
cause their husbands have been slain
by strong drink.
“Yes” says the agricultural World,
“There are hundreds of thousands of
homes scattered all over the land, in
which women lead lives of torture,
going through all the agouiea ofsuf-
teriug that lie between the extremes
of tear and despair, because those
whom they love, love wine better thau
they do the women they have swom
to love. There are women by the
thousauds who dread to hear at the
door the step that, once filled them
with pleasure; that step has learned
to reel under the influence of the se
ductive poison. There are women
groaning with pain, while we write
the words, from bruises and brutalities
inflicted by husbands made irad by
drink. There can be no exaggeration
in any statement made in regard to
this matter, because no humau imag
ination cau create anything worse
than trvtb, aud no pen is capable of
portraying the truth. The sorrow of
a w‘fo with a drunken husband or a
mother with a drunken son, are as
near the realization ot hell as can be
reached, in this world at least. The
shame, the indignation, the sorrow,
the sense of disgrace for himself and
children, the poverty—and not on-
frequently the beggery—the fear and
the fact of violence, the lingering life
long struggle and despair of countless
women with drunkeu husbands, are
euough to make all the women curse
wine and engage unitedly to expose it
everywhere as the worst enemy of the
sex.
Set your heiis in the evening if you
have to move them from the laying
nests. They will be more sure to
stick to their new nests ; and take
Gilder’s Liver Pills for your bilious
ness. dec.21.lm.

A Clergyman Loses His Education.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
One of the strangest cases known
in medical history—iu fact, there are
bnt about one-half dozen such cases
reported in the world—has just been
presented by the Rev. Marcus Or
mond, of Penns) lvauia, who is among
friends in Rushville. He was, a few
months ago, among the most eloquent
and profound expounders of the Gos
pel in the Presbyterian Church, and
on returning to'his town in Pennsyl
vania one day he found that his house,
library, and everything he had had
been consumed by fire. A day or so
afterward he was stricken with brain
fever. He recovered his health, but
his momory was literally wiped out.
His Greek, Latin, and English were all
gone. He had no language, and didn’t
even known his letters. His wife at
once began to teach him the alphabet,
and he can now read a little. He
seems to be cheerful and contented,
lacking nothing but what he once
learned at school. He is, in appear
ance, a gentleman of intelligence. He
hopes to again get back to where he
jumped efi so suddenly.
Brunswick Advertiser: The ne
groes on St. Simon’s Island say that
they possess a sovereign remedy for
snake bite. They bury the bitten
member in dry dirt for twelve hours.
So far it has never failed to oure,
though often tried.
Dr. A. R Norton of Savannah,
writes: I assure you it affords me
pleasure to give ray approval and
certificate in favor of your Lung
Restorer, having given it a fair trial
in a number of cases where it proved
a success in the treatment of Bron
chitis and Consumption. Five years
ago my wile was tar cone in Con
sumption, she had been confined to
her bed the greater part of the time,
for six months with Hectic Fever
every day and I bad but little hopes
ot her recovery, but hy per,-severance
with the blessings of God, her Lungs
are to-day perfectly sound. I gave
her no other Lung Medicine than
yours and a cough svrup I make,
have generally given them together
as I have strong taith in both. I suc
ceeded in curing a number of hope
less cases and regard Brewer’s Lung
Restorer as a very valuable prepara

and lungs, it speedily overcomes these
dangerous disorders, prevents the de
velopment of the dreaded consump

ness from the lungs. It is wonder
fully efficacious in Dyspeptic afflic
tions, and gives the most comforting
relief from Headache, Distress in the
Stomach, Nervousness, Low Spirits,
Wakefulness, Palpitation of the
Heart, Heartburn, etc. It regulateb
the Bowels, corrects both unnatural
looseness and constipation and stimu
lates the Liver to healthy action.

Gentlemen—While attending the
General Assembly this summer, I
tried your Star Curine on my leg. it
being affected with an old sore earned
by a wound received during the late
war. After having thoroughly tested
it I am compelled to say that it is a
success, for I have had experience
with different physicians and remedies,
and found nothing to cure me, until I
used your Star Curine, which has cur
ed a remarkably had case. Wishing
you success, I am
Yours, respectfully,
