The time Is short. The Banner’s dot contest will close Monday night. If we can't make It a joint building let's bnild a city hall. Now let the Atlanta Journal publish a list of the professional lobbyists if this paper knows the names of them. The Atlanta Journal Is making a no ble fight for the people of Georgia against professional lobbyism and the people will stand np to the Journal. The people of Athens should, by all means, see the Interesting and instruct- oll collection being exhibited in this ,'f B6Mflf ofliffe WInmf basis Met! irial hall. Mr. Gnerry says the appointm at of Colonel Estill os a trustee of the Sol diers' Home is a good ons as the Colonel ■till has plenty of money and the Home Is a little shy of funds. Commenting on the fight the Atlanta Jonrnal is making on the professional lobbyist in this state, the Georgian claims to have said it first, but admits that the Journal has said it best. Commenting upon the fact that Presi dent Palma does not thiok Cuba is un grateful, tho Waycross Herald eays that is hardly the word. Editor Perham thinks "sospicious" is the correct term. A JOINT BUILDING. | The Baor.er has been an advocate of L joint building for the city and the I county to be erected within the appro- ! priation of $.">0,000 voted by the people of Athens for a new city hall. We have agreed all along that the sum of $35,000 was entirely too much for the county to ask 'll-* city fflr the present court house prop! rty. but we have also agrees! that it would be worth the difference to the city in order to remove the county court house from ite present undesirable Joca to i» to a point in the heart of the city, where it would be convenient to all, alike in the city and in the country. It now looks as if the city council will not agree to any such price as the county commissioners ask for the court honse property. It looks like the city is not in position, from a financial point of view, to pay this much money for a ecliool building, at this time, and espec tally in view of the fact that a consider able amount of money will have to bt spent on the coart house property be fore it will he available for a school building. Unless the county commis sioners can Bee their way clear to reduci their figures for the count house prop erty In a great measure. The Banner is frank to say there is little chance to bring about the joint buildiDg arrange ment, and thus, the desire of a vsiy large majority of the tax piyirs of the county will be defeated as to the lo cation of the conrt honse down town We believe this is the best way to bring the court bouse down town. Indeed wi- believe that this is the only way it car be removed to a more desirable location at this time. The Banner, in view of the outlock for the defeat of this plan, now propose that the city of Athens shall go to work immediately to erect a suitable and com modiouB building for a city hall, i: every way in keeping with the growth and progress of AthenB, at such cost as may be necespary, within the appropri ation of $50,000. and any amount that may be left of the bond isBne of $50,00' shall be destroyed. A suitable city hall bnildlng can be erected at a cost of $$0,000 and it can be tquipped and fuU ntshed with a handsome clock for Borne thing like $10,000, thus doing away with the neoessity of issuing bonds for the additional $10,000 We behove this will be satisfactory to the people aud it will bring about a saving of $10,000, and even then Athens will have the finest city ball building in the state cf Georgia and one of the finest in the en tire South. Gentlemen of the city council, tho proposition will be np to yon again at your next meeting. Think the matter over and do what will be to the best interest of the ptople of Athens. Let erect a handsome city hall, equip it el egantly and pnt a fine clock on it and then burn np $10 000 worth of the bonds of the city hall issue. MAKE XMAS MONEY COUNT.

Tacoma. Wash.. Fee. 12.—At a meet ing of the Young Men’s Chris tian association at Tacoma, the world’s record for the long dive has been brok en by David Grant, of Seattle. He dived a distance of tf> feet. 3 inches, breaking the former record by 1 fitches. There Is no neoessity for kUling more time in the organization of the fair as ■ociation. If we are going to have an agricultural fair next year we should be gin to make our arrangements at once. If wo are not going to hare the fair we might as well abandon the idea at once. The Savannah News says: “In New Jersey a man has been tried and fonud guilty of attempting to commit suicide and sentenced to prison. He said he had no home, no money and no friends, and that one thing that Induced him to at tempt to kin himself was the certainty that he would be arrested and sent to jail for vagrancy. In short, it was against the law for the poor follow to lire and agaiust the law for him to at $empt to die. What was he to do?” Saved at Grave’s Brink.
