TO THE PUBLIC. THR B\NNE« solicits news from Its friends in the city, but we cannot receive announce ments of meetings aod similar notices ovei telephone. We ask our friends to kindly write all such notices and mall them to the editor of 1 he Hauner. or send to the office by messenger. We are always glad to print such notices for our friends, but ws Just have not the time to take them by telephone. Our friends will please bear this In mind. All communications for publication MUST b# accompanied by the real name of the writer, The w riter’s name will be withheld when the request Is made, but the editor must know from w hom each communication comes. There will be no deviations from these rules In the future. Yesterday was an Ideal day. The Atlanta spirit is coping with that lire situation in the proper manner. THE FAIR ASSOCIATION. Strong »Sorts are being pnt forward n Athens looking to the organization of , permanent fair association in this city. This is an enterprise that Athens needs. U is one of the first tbiogs that The Ban- ler took up under the present editorial nansge We hare progressed to such in extent that we cannot afford to drop she matter and the publio spirited bnsi- aess of Athens who would derive the greatest benefit from the movement should take hold now and make the dung a go. An agricultural fair successfully held here next year would be the means of doing away with street fairs and carui yals. The Banner believes that the car nivals and street fairs that have been held in Athens in the past have worked some good to this city, but the good re suits from those forms of attraction and amusement are nothing compared to he benefits to be derived from an old-time agricultural fair. Wherever such fairs have been held in the past the commu nities in which they have been held have been greatly benefitted. Athens is growing rapidly. On every side we hear that the city is in better shape now than it has been before in many years. This is true. We must keep the ball rolliDg. We cannot af ford to let oar progress be checked at this stage of the game. Let’s fiuisn the fund for the agricultural fair for next year and make it a permanent thing for Athens. In a few years we can hold the State Fair here and have tlie whole state of Georgia behind us iu the move ment.

Atlanta has the best news- paders in the whole coontry anyway. The Atlanta Journal is getting on the DuPont Uuerry platform right along There is merit in a number of things the Journal is fighting for at this time. Speaker Morris has had a hard time trying to disenarge the duties of the of fice to which he was elected throngh the inllaence of the corporations and other ou* side forces, but he is making a fail ure at it. He is a weak brother. It is to be hoped that Hon. Thomas E Watson will take the stump for the Democratic oandidate in the national campaign in 1904 He is one of the strongest men in Georgia and the Sonth and has friends in aU the politicall par ties. The Sparta Ishmaelite thinks that Wil liam R. Hearst would make a good pres idential nominee for the Democrats, if he be of the requisite age, and that it John Mitchell were a Democrat, he would make a good running mate for Hearst. A TRUE MAN. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, prob ably will never appear again in the sen ate. He has suffered some lesion of an artery in the brain. The senate will lose one of its safety valves by the re tirement of the venerable statesman. He belonged to the school in which Hoar and Edmunds have taught both the true dignity and position of the sen ate and though true to hiB party princi it was sought to dnve him away from the constitution. His saving the nation from embarkment upon the extravagant scheme of unbounded appropriations for education in the Sonth, that pet scheme of Blair, of New Hampshire, stands as his monument were none other erected He npheld the state rights that yet snl> sist, and never joined in the parrot cho res of partisans who mistook clamor ubont catch phrases to be upholding the organic law of the nation. Republican though he is, his sei rices have beeD great. With pen as editor and sword as general, he has fought, but always more for his country than for individual sac oess.

VONDEBAU, M^r- fO aasBrassg .cth Here is one of Editor Shaver's notes of encouragement to the yonng : "An- drew Carnegie began his business career in a telegraph office in Pittsbnrg at a weekly salary of $3. That fact should be ample encouragement for any real live American boy, with boll-headed push and without conscience.” Gbistmaa shopping is now beginning in earnest. Those who fall to make a bid for this trade throngh the oolumns of The Banner will fall to get a large portion of it. Tnis is an open and shut proposition. The people of Athens and suironnding territoiy read The Banner and they will patronize the firms offer ing inducements throngh the columns of this paper. It is going to be impossible for the management to see all the merchants about advertising matter for our large trade edition to be issued In a few days. Tboee who have not been seen and who want to be represented in the largest and handsomest trade edition ever is sued from a newspaper oSoe in North- east Georgia would do well to commu nicate with the business office of this paper. Tin* Ortulnty of Fate. The Mi-hanmjeikins have n fabli wTik-h they repeat to illustrate the cer taiuty of fate. The Philadelphia Times quotes it as having been told by Mr. Hubert Barr, the celebrated novelist. A sultan was once asked by his fa voylte, the grand vizier, for permission to leave at once for Smyrna, although a brilliant court fete was then in prog ress. i-'pon being asked bis reason for such liaste the vizier replied: "Because 1 Just saw the angel of death yonder In the crowd. lie looked at me so earnestly that I know be lias come for me. I wish to escape him.” “Go! Go at once!" said the sultan, who then beckoned to the angel and asked why the latter had looked so earnestly at the vizier. "I was wondering.” replied the angel of death, “why he was here, for 1 have orders to kill him in Smyrna.” Does It Pay To Buy Cheap. A cheap remedy for conghs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and enre the more se vere and dangerous results of throat and long troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular cli mate? Yea, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either ease take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with snccess in severe throat and lung troubles, “Bosch- ee'a German Syrup." It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, bat allays inflammation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good night's rest, and cures the patient. Try one bottle. Reoommended many years by all druggists in the world. Yon can get this reliable remedy at H. R. Pal mer & Sons. Get Green’s Special Al- MeMttMMstMstHtstottetMMeeeeeemesesHetMs ORR’S SCHOOL.
