WHY SOT?
A Project for oar Business Men to Consider.
Athene, in many respects, is the
best place in Georgia. We speak not
now of its social and educational ad
vantages, but of its business advan
tages and capabilities. Goods can be
bought in Athens as cheap as any
where in Georgia, and in the matter
ol jobbing to retail dealers, even At
lanta acknowledges the prowess of
Doable Marriage.
Sunday afternoon, his honcr, Judge
S. M. Herrington, performed a double
marriage ceremony at his residence in
this city. The contracting parties
were: Mr. John K. bailers, of Jacks
son count}, and Miss Mollic Barnett,
ol Athens; and Mr. John T. Sailers,
of Jackson county, and Miss Emma
Barbell, of Alliens. The newly mar
ried parties immediately took their
departure for the homes of the grooms.
More Through Rates.
The Air-Jine railroad is never be
hind the times. In its passenger de.
partment, under the management of
Col. W. J. Houston, it is always
equal to any demand or any emergen
cy. Col. Houston has arranged
through rates to Madi Gras from all
points along his line. From Gaines
ville to New Orleans and return, is
$23.05. We have not heard whether
there are many going from Athens.
Don't use whitewash to cleanse
your rooms, but if your ceilings or

B- C. Reggie & Co.
This is one of the most enterprise,
mg firms in Augusta. The members
of it have long been known as among
the staunch business men of that city,
and they, have built up a large and
growing trade. They have somewhat
to say to the Banner readers on the
subject of furniture. They have a
large and well assorted stock, which
embraces all varieties from the cheap,
est to the finest, and they guarantee
that they will give satisfaction.
Appleton Successful. * .
The school enmmissioners of Clarke 0Ur lltUe aty ' and her travelers
dread to meet ours on the road.
The merits of Athens as a trading
point are admitted by all who have
tested the matter. Bat the chief
trouble is that her advantages are
made known as extensively as they
should be. In other words Athens
needs advertising.
Now, then, for the proposition:
Let the merchants, and others inter
ested, combine and make op a fond
for the purpose of tendering free ex
cursinus—two or mure—to the peo
ple living on the railroads tributary
to Athens. One excursion should
come from Lula, or beyond, and one
from Union Point, or beyond. The
amount of money needed would not
be large, and these excursions would
bring thousands of dollars into the
city that would never find their way
here otherwise. The time lor these
excursions is just after the spring
stocks have arrived, and a week or
two should elapse between the two
excursions. The business men of
Athens should charter the trains, and
give everybody a ride who would
come. Does anybody doubt that it
wonld pay ? We shall have more to
say hereafter on this subject.
county met yesterday, for the pur
pose of adopting a aeries of text
books. Mr. John T. Graves was on
hand, representing the Appletons, and
and as a consequence, the books ot
the Appletons were adopted.
Mr. Graves has been very success
ful .in this part of the State. He has
succeeded in having his books adopted
by Clarke, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Hall,
Fanio and Rabun, and has good rea
son to expect the same sort of a re
port from some other couulies.
Painters in want of supplies such
as white lead, oil, turpentine, varnish
es, colors ot any kind, either dry or in
oil, or paint brushes, would do well to
write to B. H. Brooinhcad & Co.,
Atlanta, Ga.
George R. Lombard & Co.
This old aud well establish found
ry company of Augusta, Ga., offer in'
ducemcnls to the people of North
east Georgia. Anything in the line of
saw mills, grist mills, corn mills,
plantation machinery, engines, etc.>
etc., they will supply at the shortest
notice, and at as low prices as can be
afforded by responsible dealers any
where. In these days, when the use
of machinery is becoming so common,
it is well to know where we can trade
to advantage. Read Lombard & Co’s,
adrei liaement.
A Great Convenience.
The hack driven by Mr. Williford
is a great convenience. In this city
of magnificent distances, many ptr
sons need to ride frequently, who
cannot keep horses and vehicles of
their own. To such Mr. Williford
offers comfortable rides from any
part of the city to any other part for
a price so small as to be easily afford
ed. Such an accommodating business
ought to be well patronized and made
to pay.
Bridges Washed Away.
The rain Friday night, between
seven and eight o’clock, was a tre
mendous one. Many of the wide
streets of Athens were solid sheets of
water, and the narrow ones were swilt
running streams.
About ten o'clock Friday night the
bridge over Barber’s creek, at the
Pioneer Paper Mills, yielded to the
pressure, aud went down. This will
probably interfere with the work of
the mills, as the water in ti)9 pond
will have to be let ofl in order to re
build the bridge.
The bridges known as the Tallassee
bridge and McClesky’s, over the
Oconee river, in Jackson oonnty.were
washed away Friday night.

One they Don’t Like to Meet.
‘There is one Athens man,’ said an
Atlanta grocer to ns the other day;
there is one Athens roan that our
drummers dont’t like to meet on the
road.’
•W T ho is that ?’ re asked.
‘Charley O’Farrell, who travels for
Reaves, Nicholson & Co. Whenev
er our drummers run cross him on the
road, they know that damage has
been done to the Atlanta trade.’
Such a tribute to Mr. O’Farrell’s
merits, as a salesman, coming as it
did from a competitor in business, is
a very high one; yet it is very just
and deserved. You don’t find so
successful a odesinan as Charley O’
Farrell every year.
All Guano and acids sold by W.

Ho, For HardlGras!
It is time now for people “on
pleasure bent,” to turn their attention
to the great Mardi Gras carnival
which will take place in New Orleans
from February 22d to March 4th. It
begins on the 22d inst, with a grand
military di-play, in honor of the
** father of his country.” This will
be participated in by tbe military of
Louisiana, and companies from other
States, including the 71st regiment of
New York State Guards.
On the 24lh there will be a gland
illuminated street pageant of the
Knights of Momus. On Monday the
28lh will take place tbe arrival and
reception of his majesty “Rex.” Tues
day will be “ Mardi Gras,” when the
magnificent imperial pageant of his
majesty will parade the streets. Tues
day evening will be devoted to the
parade of the “Myslick Krewe of
Comas,” perhaps the grandest display
of its kind in the world. On Friday,
March 4th, there will be a fireman’s
parade.
Altogether this is one of the most
attractive programmes ever gotten up,
even in that pleasuTe-loving city,
New Orleans. A circular from CoL
A. J. Orme, of the Atlaula and West
Point railroad, informs ns that that
road will sell round trip tickets to
New Orleans and return for $19:85,
good from February 20th to March
10th. Those who go to New Orleans
should by all means go by the At
lanta and West Point road. It is the
shortest, quickest and safest. Leav
ing Atlanta to-day, at ooe o’clock p.
m., you would breakfast in New Or
leans to-morrow morning. Or leav-
ivg Atlanta at midnight, you would
get to New Orleans to supper next
evening. Tbe route is pleasant, run
ning a good part of the way on the
banks of tbe gulf ot Mexico; and it is
so quick that you haven’t time to get
tired.
If young men knew how much a
good character would dignify and
exalt them, how glorious it would
make their prospects, never should
we find them yielding to the grovel
ling and base-born pnrposes of hu
man nature, nor yielding to any infl-
ence that would lead them from pat-
nizroing Skiff, the Jeweler. Sign

BaUdlng Material, foe.
Persons in want of building mate
rial—anything that is used in making
a bouse—should confer with Thomp
son, Heindel & Co., Augusta, Ga.
Their stock is large and complete;
they have been loug in the business,
are acquainted with its details, and
are determined that in their line of
goods they will sell as low as anys
body else can sell tbe same quality.
With these as their principles in bus-
iness it is no wonder that they have
built up a large trade, and that it is
still growing. They invite the peon
pie of this part of Georgia to give
them a trial, and it is undoubtedly to
their interest to do so.
It is Wonderful.
It is wonderful, say J. L. Bowles &
Co., how cheap they sell furniture.
And they are not the only ones who
say it. Their patrons agree with them
andso thetestiinouy seems pretty good.
But it is not on cheapness alone that
they make their record. Ftjy late
ness of style, quality of goods, and
size of stock they cannot be excelled.
Their goods are the admiration of all
who see them, aud the prices at which
Bowles & Co. sell are evidence at
once of their skill in buying and their
enterprise in selling. When you can
get good goods for a small price, you
have obtained tbe great desidera
tum—and that is what you can do
with Bowles & Co.

Row Is ItT
How is it that some people are so
backward about helping in any public
enterprise ? There is ho question that
the firemen’s tournament, which will
come off in wiJI ,b'eof
benefit to all our merchants. It WuT
bring people, and tl;e people will want
to trade ; and yet wo learn that acme
of our merchants, when called upon
to subscribe to the entertainment
fund, shake their beads and look off
iulo the distance, as if they could see
a dime hovering somewhere abont the
horizon. The true reason of such
refusals, is that they believe that
enough money will be made without
them, and thus they will reap the ben
efits of the movement, without bear
ing any of its expenses- Our mer

There is scarcely a household or

it sells, then, becomes a matter ot
great importance, because the pur
chase ol kerosene comes along almost
as frequently as that of daily bread,

poor, accounts to a considerable ag

The Firemen’s Tournament.
Tuesday night Chief Jones called
togatlier the officers of Hope Fire
Company and Pioneer Hook and
Ladder Company, to take into con
sideration the question of having a
grand firemens tournament. The meet
ing was well attended, and when the
subject was brought forward, there
was great enthusiasm. By a unani
mous vote, it waB decided to have
the tournament, and the 18lh of May
was appointed as the time.
Speeches were made by Mr. R. K.
Bloomfield, ot Pioneer, and Mr. W.
B. Burnett, of Hope. Both speeches
were good, but tbe latter was especial
ly felicitous in his remarks.
There was thorough harmony in
all the proceedings of the meeting,
and there was an interest manifested
which was an earnest of the success
that will attend the enterprise. The
steps already taken by Chief Jones
were endorsed, and a committee of
arrangements was appointed, consist
ing of Chief Jones, ex-Chief Beusse,
assistant engineer Jnlins Cohen, and
engineer Janies McWaters. These
will report to another meeting of the
officers which will be heid soon!
Chief Jones has a subscription list
in hand, which he has presented to
only a portion of our citizens, and to
which be has had a gratifying re
gponse. He hopes before long to
have enough subscribed to pay all
the expenses of a very handsome en
tertainment to such companies as may
accept the hospitalities of our boys.
Gold Medal and Sewing Machine
We have long thought that Mr. J.
B. Tooiner, of the Singer Machine
agency in Athens, was one of the
most efficient in this State, and now
we know it. Yesterday he received
a letter from headquarters, saying he
had won the gold medal which the
company offered to the agent making
the best collections in 1880. Also
that the machine offered to the agent
making the largest sales in 1880, had
been awarded to him.
The medal will be forwarded to
him in a few days. The machine he
has taken from his slock on hand, and
the company has forwarded to him a
hand some walnut cabinet of drawers to
be attached to the machine. We
congratulate Mr. Toomerou the good
fortune which his energy has brought
him.

Georgia Chemical Works.
These works, at Augusta, may very
properly be da-sed amonw the largest
manufactories in Georgia. They are
employed in the manu'aclnre of fer
tilizers. Our memory does not recall
the number of hands employed, or
the. quantities of fertilizers that are
annually turned out from these works.
Bat this much we can say withofat
risk: persons who want fertilizers
that are reliable and uniform may be
certain of getting them by buying
any of the various brands of the Geor
gia Chemical Works. The pnrpoee
of this company is to furnish farmers
with articles that can stand any reas
aonable u*st,and the testimony ot plan
ters in Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama can easily be obtained on
thia point. Messrs. Moss & Thomas
are their agents in Athens.
Dr. A. R- Norton of Savannah,
writes: I assure you it affords me
pleasure to give my approval and
certificate in favor "of yonr Lung
Restorer, having given it a fair trial
in a number of eases where it proved
a success iu the treatment of Bron
chitis and Consumption. Five years
ago my wile was tar cone in Con
sumption, she had been confined to
her lied the greater part of the time,
for six months with Hectic Fever
every day and I bad but little hopes
ot her recovery, but by perseverance
with the blessingB of God, her Lurgs
are to>d-iy perfectly sound. I gave
her no other Long Medicine than
yours and a cough svrup I make, I
have generally given them together
as I have strong faith in both. I suc
ceeded in curing a number of hope
less cases and regard Brewer’s Lung
Restorer as a very valuable prepara
tion. Please send me per express

with different physicians and remedies,
and tbund nothing to cure me, until I
used your Star Curine, which has cur

you success, I am
