TELEPHONE*: Business Office 73. one ring dlturisl Rooms 75. two rings TO THE PUBLIC. THE BANNER solicits news from Its friends In the city, but we cannot reealva announce ments of meetings and similar notices ovei telephone. We ask our friends to kindly write all such notices and mall them to the editor of The Banner, or send to the office by messenger We are always glad to print such notices for our friends, hut wa just have not the time to taka them by telephone. Our friends will please bear this In mind. All communications for publication MUST bs accompanied by the real name of the writer. The writer’s name will be withheld when the request is made, but the editor must know from whom each communication comes. There will be no deviations from these rules In the future. We should not lo«8 sight of the fact that we are still In need of the uniOD depot. It develops that there was an etTort made to assassinate the Czar of Russia a few days ago. The new hotel shonld be worked np np before the new city hall and the gov ernment building are completed. The summer school fund took a nice jump Tuesday and yesterday and we should keep It jumping until it is oom pleted. The New York Time* wants to know It all executed murderers are martyrs bocaose they have died from their con victloni. The Washington Post has discovered that there is enongh of the New England anti imperialistic league left for dinner giving purposes. A GREAT MAN. We have observed that men and news- »apers who were hitter in their denun- iatiou9 of Grover Cleveland a few years .go are now admitting that he is a great uau, a great leader and a true Demo net. All of this is encouraging as it nukes for a united and aggressive Dem ocracy in the n< xt presidential campaign" tiis words of cheer and guidance once more command the respect of the misled rank and Me, and it is evident that Mr. veland has the popular confidence and it cannot be denied that it extends far yond the limits of the party to which le gives allegianoe. The statement of nis views written for the New York World has been accepted by the Democ racy as the proper party policy and a beacon that lights the way to the harbor of victory. He does not measure his words in exposing the Btraying oil' after false gods that resulted in the defeat of the party in every national election since 18D'J, but he doos not dwell on this dark picture with any feeling of bitter ness, but. on the contrary, his touo is one of good cheer for all Democrats. It is in pointing the proper course for the Democratic party to follow in the present and the future that his words merit and should have close attention. He well says 1 "The hope of the Demo cratic party lies in the inevitable discov ery by our people of its benevolent aims and purposes," because so altered aie the views of proteotiouists that "they are inclined to accept with favor the adoption of the Democratic doctnue ol a tariff for revenue.” Mr. Cleveland makes clear that lu i> confident that aggressivo expansion sacli as we are witnessing today in the Phil- ippines, and its incompatability with what has always been regarded as true Americanism will bocoine an important factor in political thought, and fie is also confident that "the tremendous growth of trusts, the immeuBe business aggregations and the manner in which they stills healthful competition and throttle individual enterprise caunct long he passed unheeded by the voters of the land.” He sees and the members of his party sees only hope and confidence In the future of the Democracy, hence he asks that it be true to itself and its profes sions of devotion to the welfare, not of class, bnt of all the people. A few days more and the present ses sion of the general assembly will go down in history—and there will be very little in the record to brag about. The Sparta Ishmaelite "trusts that Governor Terrell will never have occa sion to brag abont how cheaply he can borrow money.” Amen! says the Al bany Herald. The Times-Union and Citizen an- noncee that from all points of the north ern half of the compass come reporta of heavier tonrist travel Florldawards this winter than ever before. The Banner's dot oontest will close Monday at midnight. Those who have not sent in their answers and want to participate in the distribution of the prize money shonld get in their answers at onoe. The Angnsta Chronicle says: “In Hyle’a presentation of ‘Nathan Hale’ at the opera honse at Saturday matinee, there is a lesson in patriotism that will do any American oitizen good to hear and see.” The commercial traveling men with headquarters In Athena are great adver tisers for this city. All along the line they tell of the greatness of Athens and in this way oontribnte largely to the growth of the city. Editor W. T. Shy tie, who has recently taken oharge of the Adel News, is doing splendid work on that paper. Mr. Shytle was for a number of years connected with the Valdosta Times. He is a splen did young man and The Banner predicts that he will make a great snocees in the management of the Adel News. Some effective work shonld be pat in within the next few weeks on the pro posed fair for next year. There is little time to lose now if we woold make a greet success of the agricultural fair in Athens next year. SuOh a fair would do the oity m:re good than all the earn! rals and street fairs combined, and we shonld not let this opportunity pass. Eruptions Dry. moist, scaly tetter, all forms of eczema or salt rheum, pimples and other cutaneous eruptions pro ceed front humors, either inherited, or acquired through defective di gestion and assimilation. To treat these eruptions with drying medicines is dangerous. The tiling to do is to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills Which thoroughlycleanse the blood, expelling all humors and building up the whole system. They cure Hood's -Sarsaparilla permanently cured J.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla promises to euro and keeps the promise. Nelson*. Only Defeat. Nelson, like :i11 the prettiest com- ■minders on sen or hind, made his inis lakes and his failures, hut there is only one instance on record of his having been actually defeated in a direct at tack. Ti ls occurred at Santa Fritz, in the Cnttrry islands, on .Inly ‘2-1, 1707. The pine-* was very strongly fortified, mil Ncls ai, in the face of a fire of fifty nuns from the batteries, attempted to storm the town by boats. The attempt was frustrated liy tlio strength of the mole and the nonapiicarance of a land force which shonld have co-operated. A hundred and fifty men were killed and a hundred wounded on the British side, and Nelson lost Ills right arm. Two flags were also captured, and these are still kept lu the cathedral of Santa Cruz. A nation Voices Could hardly express the thanks of Homer Hall, of West Point. Ia. Listen why: A severe cold had settled on his longs, causing a most obstinate cough. Several physicians said he had consump tion, but could oot help him.
