'Ve learn from tlie Covington Star that Hev. F. I>. Davies, a well known Methodist preacher, died in Decatur Iasi Sunday night. He was a brother of Mrs. R. W. Bigham, of Athens. He had been ill a long time and his death was uot unexpected. He was a good man, abundant in labors, and has gone to his rest and his reward. JIU.UMItY AM) FAKCY GOODS. Mrs. T. A. Adams lias just returned from New York, with a large and well selected stock of millinery and fancy goods. Bonnets ana hats ready trimmed and trimmed to order, in the latest style. Everything in ladies’ Wear, except dress goods. Give her a call. Satisfaction guaranteed. A Mist like Correct ist. In an article in Tuesday’s Banner, on the precedents which the Georgia Baptist Convention had, in the history of their church in Georgia, for peti tioning the legislature, the statement was made that in 1794, the Georgia Baptist Association asked the legisla- ture to “permit'’ the importation ot slaves. The word “permit’’ should have been printed “prevent,’’ which is quite a different thing. Fine Oats. Mr. Grier, the route agent on the Athens branch, brings us a specimen of line oats grown by Mr. Joe David son, ol Woodvillo. They are twenty- six inches high and are well headed. This is but a sample often or twelve acres. They were sown December “1st and began to head April ‘21st. H they were sown December 1st, they would head April 1st, and be ripe May 1st. t That is the sort of oats for the farmers to sow. Mr. Richardson got his seed from Alabama. Tl»e Cemetery Again. “I want you to keep firing away about the cemetery,” said a prominent citizen to us, the other day. He continued : “We need some new laws or regulations about it. The other day, I was out there, and there were fresh cow-tracks, showing that those animals had been foraging in there. And as to the thieving that goes on there, it is shameful. A member of my family pian'ed a choice geranium at the head of a grave, and next time we went there, it was gone— had been taken up and carried away. There ought to be a stop put to such depredations and robbery.” We agree with him. There ought to be, and there can be. Anything that ought to be done can be done. Memorial Day in Athens. Whatever niny be the state of the case in other places, ii is very plain. that the peepleof Athens are not indifferent to the claims which the dead heroes of the Confederacy have upon onr memory. Most ol the stores did not open at all, on Tuesday. A few kept open till noon, and possibly a very small number all d ry. But so littlo business was dona, that the city had a sabbath-like appearance, and there was a stillness about the streets which could not but be inis pressive. It said, plainer than words could say : ‘This is a tribute to our martyr-dead and lu our lost cause. Here is one day in the year, which we will keep as a sabbath, sacred to those who have left us a priceless leg acy of heroism and patriotism.’ The programme was not carried out, as published. There was co pro cession formed at the monument and inarched to t he chapel, and the re was no band music. The bell of the uni versity chapel was rung ami was the signal for the gathering. The chapel was full, aud the audience seemed to be pretty equally divided between the sexes. After prayer by Rev. Mr. Wadsworth, Gen. Wm. M. Browne introduced as the orator of the occa sion, Rev. R. H. Harris. Mr. Harris began by a reference to twenty years ago—to the time when the toc-in of war called forth the sous ot the south to battle for their homes and their freedom! He told of the sadness of parting, of the agonies that came of separation, of the sufferings of wives, mothers and other loved ones at home. He depicted the privations and sufferings of camp life, and the dangers of battle. His descriptive powers and the U3c he made of them kept the audience closely interested from the opening sentence to the last. Ilis style was florid, and he used the flowers of rhet oric a D lavishly as the flowers of spring were used in adorning the graves. The speech was quite a long one, hut the audience appeared to be deeply inter ested, and gave unflagging attention. The universal expression is that it was a very eloquent address, and it won laurels for the orator. At the close, he was presented with a bcautiiul bouquet. With a benediction by Air. Wads worth, the audience was dismissed, and they repaired to the cemetery where the holy duty ot decorating the graves was perlurmed. May God bless the ladies who f oil] year to year thus feed with fuel the flies of grati tude and of patriotism in the heart ot the people!'May one generation impart to another the lessons which memorial day teaches, and thus may love for our dead heroes and love tor our dead Confederacy be kept alive forever in the hearts of the children of i he south.

The day after they arrived in Savannah, they were treated to that never failing source of pleasure— a steamboat ride to Tybee island ami beyond. The next night they had a banquet—one of those royal festivals which Savannah is in the habit of giving, and which cannot be excelled this side of Elysium. There is no better place in the world to visit in April, than Savannah. The bus’nesg ol the Grand Lodge was transacted with harmony aud with expedition. The bretiiren were well pleased with each other, and the spirit of fraternity which prevaded the deliberations was a source ol pleasure to all.

Nickerson about thirty feet from his house, was struck by lightning, about twenty feet from the ground. The bolt, in its descent tore the tree open, scattering splinters over the yard, some of them being from one to two yards long. Some were driven into the blinds ot khe house, and some were carried over the house. All the window glasses in the house on the side next to the smitten tree were broken. The fence just by the tree was torn to pieces, aud the lightning plowed into the ground and tore up one of the roots. About five feet from the house, two small holes were found, from which evidently the upward discharge was made. They were about an inch and a halt in diameter, and one of them was discolored and warm inside. Persons in the house were shocked but not injured, and others felt the shock two or three hundred yards away. George D. Thomas, Esq. This talented young lawyer, as is generally known in Athens, was em ployed some time since by the man agement of the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad to negotiate for the transfer of the North Eastern Rail road. From the time of his employ ment, he has displayed the greatest vigor and skill in the management of this business. JIs cool and clear in sight into the facts of the case at once gave him a cornet view of the entire situation. Having been called to. Richmond, and thence to Atlanta, he conducted the negotiations on the part ol the road he represents, in a masterly manner, and not being atle to come to 9 definite agieement with out the presence of the council he came to Athens on an extra train, carried them oil' to Atlanta, returned the next day and the contract was signed. While he has done all that any one lawyer or others could have done for liis client he ha- never for gotten that he is a citizen of Athens, and has her interest at heart. Stop, Ilenil amt I'cim-mlor.
