A citizen of Athens, who heard Dr. Curry’s lecture in Atlanta, on the necessity of education, says he is in favor of educating every thing that creeps. The summer resorters are not com ing buck to any great extent; and the stay-at-homes are encouraging them selves with the idea that it is not so had alter all. ltev. D. C. Oliver, ot Athens, is doing good work in the temperance cause. lie is an able aud instructive orator, and is doing his share in en lightening the people in the matter. On the Olh, inst., in Gainesville, Air. Win. Neil, of Savannah, was mar ried to Miss Mattie Trammell, young est daughter of Mr. John Trammell.

Quite a number ot Georgia photographers went with him from Atlanta. He will return early in September. Champion No. 3. * Our colored fire company, Cham pion No. 3, went to Atlanta in high spirits. The Constitution brings us word that in the conte-t they scored 0. As soon as the news of the defeat came, the friends of the company de termined that there was no use cry ing over spilt milk, so they went to work to have some fun out . oi it. A cross was made, wrapped in white cloth, and draped in blnok. On it was carried a placard with two black ites in mourning. The nickname oi ,he comjiany is “the black axes.' ■1 he serio-comic sign created a good deal of amusement as it was carried about town.

Mell, chancellor oi the state university, delivered a brilliant and scholarly address, defending the uni versity from all the charges brought against it, and proving it to be well governed, well managed and posses sing all the attributes of the best aud most useful institutions in the country. It was an eloquent plea, and was closely listened to.

A day or two ago, a country girl and her younger brother came to Athens with peaches for sale. The boy priced the peaches at forty cents a bushel, and the girl insisted that they were worth filty. Quite a num ber of clerks gathered around and were proceeding to have some fun out ot the country youths. The girl finally became incensed at the chaffing of the town boy«, and exclaimed : “Wei!! I have heard that country folks was considered tools; but I’ve seen more fools around here than I ever saw before !’’ The town chaps subsided.

By some inadvertence this notice, intended for yesterday’s pajier, was omitted. Rev. Wm. Patman died at his res idence in Jackson county, near the line of Clarke, on Thursday evening, lie was a minister of the Primitive Baptist church, though we under stand that he had not officiated as such for some time past. He had lived in this section half a century or more, and possessed to n remarkabls degree the confidence and esteem of his neighbors. Upright in his life and unswerving in his convic tions ol right, he has ever enjoyed the confidence of his large circle of ac quaintances and had a iargo influence over them. He was in his ninety-sixth year, and is mourned by many rela tives and friends. The writer never enjoyed his acquaintance; but we hear him .-[token of by many, and always in words of praise. Death of a Little Child. The little child of Mr. and Mrs. C. Ivalvarinsky died yesterday afternoon, of cholera infantum, and was buried this morning—aged about one year. The bereaved parents have our sym pathies. Cotton opening. Farmers needing rain. Baby carriages in demand. The hammer still makes a charming sound. Dr. Murrali’s new Louse will soon be completed.

Eight were added to the church. Miss Vara Anthony and brother are both quite sick. Miss Willie Mathews, of this place, who has been sick for some time, in Athens, we are glad to learn, is much better. The people of Madison county heard the roaring ot the coal burning engines v '”“ 1 , , , * , , ,. ® * hundred present and it and did not know what to think. They saw no clouds and knew that it could not he thunder. They thought judg ment was at hand. The protracted meeting at Cherokee ! Corner is very interesting. Many are being converted. Kev. Mr. Williams has been doing all in his power to help them. Meeting closed Sunday night. Air. L G Johnson, Jr,, preached last Saturday. Alessrs. L G Johnson, Sr., and S O Hutcheson left for Florida last Monday, by private conveyance. We wish them a pleasant journey.

One of Mr. Smith’s convicts had one ot his legs broken some time ago by a falling tree, and the leg had to be cutjoff. Drs. Carter aud Jarrel performed the operation. Mr. John Winter and wile, ot Greenesboro, spent last Saturday and Sunday with his brother, Mr. D H Winter. Master Jimmie Lowe, of Oconee is spending some time with his sister, Mrs. D C Anthony. The Winterville Temperance Un ion met last Saturday night and elect- ed the following officers : W H Johusun, President; F H Kroner, Vice-President; W M Coile, Chaplain Edward Hutcheson, Secretary; Fred Allison, lamp-lighter. The president was then conducted to his chair by a committee of ladies. He and Mr. J j Q Allison then made some remarks for the goood of the order, and closed. to decline several months ago and in order to free bis mind from care and restore if possible his wasting strength he told out his busines in Danielsville in the early summer. His disease was _ . ,.. ... . dropsy and it kept wearing upon him strains of the wedding march wa» , , f TT ... . until his hope of recovery wa3 played by Miss Hammond, ot Aurj l. gusta, who presided at the organ, and the bridal party, headed by the nabs ere, Messrs. Stem and Michael, marched to the altar, the bride on the arm ot her father and the groom accompanied by his sistei, Mrs. M. Morris, and followed by two little girls in beautiful costumes. The bride wore a handsome white mull dress with white satin front, made in eles gant style, while on her head was a wreath of orange blossoms and pens dent from her ears were two small orange buds as ear-drops. The bride was beautiful in this simple costume, and the whole effect was lovely. The ceremony was performed by the Rabbi, Rev. Mr. Levy, in an ims pressive manner. This ceremony, which is rather loog, occupied about thirty minutes, aud was very ins teresting, the various symbols being suggestive of the change in the lives of the parties and of the meaniug and obligations of the marriage state. The short lecture of the Rabbi, his words of admonition, the driuking of the wine and the’breaking of the glass were all of a character to impress the miuds ot the young couple with the solemn vows they were taking. After the marriage the bridal party anil all invited guests repaired to Huns meutt Hall where a reception and ball had been arranged in honor of the happy couple. There were about two was a season of great festivity and rich eujoyment. The beautiful bride was the center of ittraclion during the whole evening and the hours flew on fleetest wing to the music of the baud aud the trips ping touch of tbe mauy dancers. The hall was a superb success and every dance was enjoyed to the full. It is a peculiarity of the Jews that all of tbem love the mazy dance and old men and matrons, young men and maidens, boys and giils mingled hour alter hoar in successive rounds of pleasure as the waltz, schottiscbe, racquet, lancers and german followed close upoD one another. About 12 o’clock refresh ments of a choice character were served and freely partaken ot, after which the dancing continued into the small hours. At the breaking up all telt happy over another evening of richest pleas ures and joiued in warmest congratu lations to the happy young couple, and many wishes for their long lite aud perfect happiness. To all which the Banner begs to add its own heart' iest congratulations. haustsft and knew he must die. For a few weeks he has been at the house of a friend in Barberville where he expired last night Mr. Stafford was a printer by trade and has lived in Athens and in the towns near Athens for many years. He was foreman of the Banner at one.time before the war and was in the office several years. He also worked on the Southern Watchman for some years. During his residence in Athens we are told tTiat his life was most exemplary and he did a great amount of good. He was a member of the Methodist church and while here was a devoted Sunday school teacher, at one time having a school at Princeton which he walked to every Sunday. He had numerous friends and .was of a genial, kindly disposi tion, quiql and unobtrusive and al ways attentive to his duties. We have not the data (or a full synopsis of Mr. Stafford’s life, but after he left Athens he went to Jefferson where he founded the Forest News, now the Jackson Hetald. This was some six or eight years ago. He lived in Jefferson till about 1878 when he went to Harmony Grove and started the Northeastern Progress. After remaining there a year or two he removed the paper to Danielsville and called it the Madison Yeoman. Here be remained till he sold out in April or May last. A good man has gone. He had few faults and many virtues. Peace to his ashes. His funeral took place this afternoon. Errors ot youth in male or female, causing shyness or inability to look another in the face, pimples, nervous ness, etc., can be. permanently cured by the use of Prof. Guilmette’s Kid' ney Pad. Religious Meetings. The Methodist church at Paoli, Aladison county, has just passed through a revival meeting, of a week’s duration. A number of people were couverted, among them some of the “hardest cases’’ in that part ol the country. Marriage. Yesteidny afternoon, at 4i o’clock, Mr. Robert G. Gray was married to Miss Katie Lampkin, at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. K. H Lampkin. Only the immediate rela tives of the parties were present. The officiating clergyman was Rev. Father Wcigbtman, oi the Catholic Church The bridal party left for a trip to Old Point Comfort. His Experience. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ‘Aly brethren,’ said a Western min ister, ‘the preaching ot the Gospel to some people is like pouring water over a sponge—it soaks in aud slays. To others it is like wind blowing through a chicken coop. My experi ence of this congregation is that it contains more chicken coops than sponges. Why It Did Not Rain. Little Phil, a bright five year old is afraid ot thuuder. During the re cent hot spell his mother would re mark, “Oh. I pray for rain.’’ One day when she said it, Phil thus ad dressed her: “Oh, mamma, I will tell you why it don’t raiu. When say my prayer, I des say ‘pleas don’t pay any ’tenlion to what mamma says, cos I am ’fraid of thunder.’ ** lie Echoed the Sentiment. Ilartfod Post. I can’t think that all sinners will he lost,’ said Mrs. Nimbletung. •There’s my husband now. He’s a bad man—a very bad man; but I trust he will be saved at last. I be lieve he has suffered bis due share in this life.’ ‘Amen!’ shouted Nimble- bletung from the back seat. Airs. Nimbletung gave him such a look, but said nothing. He that leu the sun go down upon his wrath, and goes angry to bed, is likely to have the devil tor bis* bed fellow. That Little Hatchet. Texas Siftings. “Come heab George Washington, you black ape,’’ exclaimed Rev. Am' inidab Bledsoe, of the Austin Blue- Light Colored Taberuacle, to a Sun' day school scholar who bad just re moved a big wad of^ something other from his month. The boy’a trembling limbs carried him into the immediate presence of the irate shepherd. •Yer was chawin'terbacker in de lions ob de Lawd.” “I owns right up, parson. I was chawin’ terbacker, but I won’t do so no inoah.” “George Washington, chawin’ terbacker am bad enough, Lawd know-; but when yer has got so shameless yer dou’t eben try ter lie out ob it, hit am time to take yer in hand, so you won’t grow up and dis grace de fodder of his country. Lean ober dat knee, George.*’ And for about ten minutes people living sev eral blocks off imagined their neigh bors were preparing tough beefsteak for dinner with an axe. The University. The two following paragraphs from the Augusta News direct attention to a most important subject in whioh the whole state is interested. Tho legisla ture could do no better work than to advance as far as it can the sinterest of the University and the alumni owe it as a duty to secure larger patron age of their alma mater by the peo ple of the state. We earnestly, hope to know that the scientific schools es pecially are well filled next term. Georgia has to send off to Rhode Island for drawings for our„factories. This can be remedied if our people will send their children to the engin eering school of the State University. The models there are the finest in the whole south, and every department of engineering is practically taught, Prof. Charbcnnier is one ot the most accomplished engineers of this or the old country, and he is ably assisted in this particular school.” “What the state ueeds is practical ed ucation. Let the lathers of the State send their sons to the scientific schools of the University. The departments of engineering, chemistry ami philos ophy at Athens are the best equipped in the South; and students should crowd these scientific schools The professions are already crowded, and we all see that money and reputations are now making in practical scientific fields. There are right now employed as day laborers in the Augusta Fac tory several protessional men and an ex-member of the legislature.” the poorest mail facilities, getting the mail once and twice a week; but owing to the energy and efforts ot our representative in Congress, Hon. Emory Speer, the United States gov ernment saw fit to enact sometime last year, that we should have a daily mail, for which we are .are all grate ful to Mr Speer. But on account of some, bad management somewhere, our daily mail has proven a signal failure. For instance the daily pa pers from Atlanta reach Athens at the very hour that the Watkinsville mail leaves, hence we can get no At lanta daily paper, until the following day. The Augusta dailies get to Athens about three hours after our mail leaves, therefore we can get no mail from Augusta until the next day. This arrangement is very unsatisfac tory to us and we would be very much delighted if the the proper au thorities would so change the time of closing the mail to Watkinsville as would enable us to get the Atlanta daily papers twenty-iour hours earlier. This can be done by causing the mail- carrier to leave Athens just one half hour later.; that is, make the hour of 12:30 o’clock the time of departure from the Athens post-office, instead of 12 o’clock. We think this would correct the great inconvenience from which we suffer. This could harm no one, and would be a blessing to the citizens of Watkinsville and vi cinily. We earnestly trust the change will be made. There ia in progress a very inter esting meeting at Flat Rock, a Meth odist church, about five miles below Watkinsville. Up to this time there have been ten additions to the church by experience. Much interest is man ifested, by the congregations, in their souls’ eternal salvation, and wc hope the good work will go on until the whole community will be enabled to rejoice in the pardoning love oi a gra cious God. The church at Flat Rock is very much revived, and it does ones’ heart good to see the love for God shining forth from their every countenance. Who can estimate the goodness of God to man ? Oconee. 1IKA3S-TOWJI .'ALLEY. (For tho Bonner.) This beautiful and fertile valley lies in Union and Towns counties, iu the extreme northeastern portion of Georgia, and is surrounded by Brass- town and Ivy Log mountains, from whose magnificent summits the view is grand and imposing. In one di rection are mountains piled upon mountains, a3 far as the eye can reach echoing and re-echoing the merry tinkle of cow bells that signal the owner to his own favorite herd grow ing fat upon the wide pastures that these mountains afford. It was just on the eve of wheat threshing, when I was there. Large stock yards were to ho be seen all along the road, and I was told that 15,000 bushels would be threshed in the Valley. No Western hay, corn, meat or floor find their way bere. Not a sack of fertilizers is used. Stacks of herds grass thred years old were stand ing there last fall, and quantities of corn, flour, rye and meat are hauled across the mountains and sold every year. Almost every farmer has a mead ow, npon which their stock graze in the winter and spring, from whence they are driven in herds to the mountains and sold to drovers in the fall. The length ot the valley is about fifteen miles and about two miles wide, and is watered by Braestown creek, which runs through some very fine bottom lauds; and some of the upland will produce five or six bar rels of corn to the acre. About 20- COO chickens find their way to the city of Gainesville every year. There are probably 2,000 sheep in the val ley. Neat painted churches and cot tages, and numerous school houses show the progress of the country. The country is thought to be rich in minerals, and some precious stones have been.found. A railroad through this country would make it the Switz erland of America. Thousands of bushels of the finest fruits and surplus grain would be exported aunually, and the whole country would bo an object of interest to tourists. But more anon. F. S. S. Jefferson.

Capt. F.rank Smith, of Putnam county, is visiting relatives and iriends at this place. He is a man of great ability, and attracts uni vereal attention wherever he goes. Mr. William Patman died yester day morning. He was in his ninety' sixth year, aud it is said he had lived a longer age than any of his ancestors. He was once a minister of the gospel in the days before the division in the Baptist church. Since that time he has lived a Christian life at his borne. He has never voted at ihe polls since he voted against secession, thinking it was better to give all of his time to his Master. Mr. S. R. Daniell is attending the lectures at Mars Hill Academy. Of course he will be henefitted. C, B. D. Elberton County. Yesterday morning the road work ers o f that section of the county as sembled at the house of the Goss place, about two miles from Ruckers- ville. While the crowd was together, Mrs. Dayld Lewis stated that Gov ernor Harper, a negro at work on the Goss place, had taken some fruit which Mrs. Goss had forbidden. Gov ernor said it was not so. David Lewis, who was present, paid no at tention apparently to this. One of Lewis’ children had been thi owing rocks at them. Governor said that was not so. Lewis told Governor that ‘this thing had gone far enough, aud he did not want to hear any thing more from Governor.’ Governor told Lewis that if he would walk out with him they would settle it. At this, Lewis followed Governor, his hoe in his hand. Alter going a short distance the negro stooped and picked up a rock. As he raised up Lewis struck him on the head with the eye of the hoe! Gov ernor fell and never spoke again. This occurred about nine o’clock. The uegro died about one. Dr. S. T. Heard was summoned, and did all he could for the negro, but without avail, although he said, after careful examination, that the negro’s skull was not broken. Mr. Lewis was promptly arrested, and while under guard a crowd of negroes attempted to take him for the purpose of lynching hinj. 'They we*e resisted by*the guard, who took the prisoner to the house of Mrs Cleveland, the crowd of negroes fol lowing to the gale. They were or* dered to disperse by Mr. John Cleve land, one ot the guard, but they re fused, and he fired a double-barreled shot gun into the -crowd, peppering two of the negroes with small shot, but doing no particular damage. Again they were ordered to leave, but paid no attention, until a threat was made to sheet into tLe crowd again, when they left, and quiet was restored. The commitment trial of Mr. Lew is is to take place to-day before Jus tices McCalla and Goss. The above is about a true state ment of facts as we gather them from a reliable citizen of that part of the county, given hnrridly aiid briefly as they, were given to us just on going to press. Revision or Uie Jury Boxes. Mr. Editor—Please publish the following article, taken from the Watchman of August 30th, 1880. No bill has been introduced to have a revision of the jury boxes, aud the evil remains. I desire to call the matter to the attention of our repre sentative. X. PUBLIC MEETING. A mass meetiog of the citizens of Clarke county was this day held iD the court house. Hon. B. C. Yancey, Chairman, and W. W. Thomas, Sec retary. The following resolutions wero unanimously and enthusiastically adopted: Whereas, the recent revision of the Jury Lists in this county has given wide-spread dissatisfaction to the citl zens of the county, and Whereas, many good citizens have been deprived of tbeir right to sit on the juries of this county, by a palpa ble and outrageous violation of the law, and Whereas, the Jury Commissioners have under the influence of their own personal prejudices, deprived 5-6 of the citizeus of this county of their law ful right, and Whereas, all legal business trans acted by said juries, as revised, will in the opinion of some lawyers, be null and void aod will subject tho county to the expense of new trials, therefore, be it Resolved, That this meeting, rep resenting the people of Clarke county, hereby condemns the action ot the Commissioners, believing that they have wantonly and unlawfully dis franchised a large number of our cit izens. Resolved, That we will support no man tor the Legislature who will not pledge himselt, unqualifiedly, to intro' duce and support a bill to correct this evil by repealing the present law, so far as it applies to this ccunty, and re-enacting the law under which we lived before the present law was passed. Resolved further, That these reso lutions be published in the county papers and in the Atlanta ConstitU' tion. B. C. Yancby, Chm’n. W. W. Thomas, Sec’y.
