SHERIFF JOHN W. WIER.
Athens lost one of her best citizens
yesterday when John W. Wler, sheriff
of this county, was called hence. It
Is not in the least an extravagant
statement when it is said that he was
the most popular citizen of this county
and that his popularity was deserved.
He was devoted to every interest of
the community and did his part to
wards making Athens the great city
she is today. In every walk in life
in this city there will be found men
and women who will mourn him dead.
His heart was golden, his spirt was
gentle, his loyalty, was Arm and abid
ing. and Athens stands at his bier
a sincere mourner.,
One hundred thousand bales of cot
ton per annum makes Athens lo-ik lilt--
a good cotton point With increased
cotton compress facilities the cotton
receipts here will reach one hundred
and fifty thousand hales next year.
The republicans seem to he at sea
Just now as to the man to nominate
for tho presidency, but there is nc
doubt about the ability of that party
to ckieo up the ranks when the time
comes and march to victory. The Dem
ocratic party could learn some valua
ble lessons from the Republicans on
this line.
DENVER’S CONTRIBUTION.
We do not agree with some of the
in mocratic committeemen that the of
fer of one hundred thousand dollars
by Denver to secure the session of the
National Convention of the Democratic
party should have been turned down,
except as to so much of the money as
might he needed for Hie convention
expenses. While it would perhaps
have been better to have held the com
volition in a more centrally located
city, tip re is no denying the fact that
the prime requisites have all been met
and that the convention in Denver
will lie a success.
if the one hundred thousand dollars
had been contributed by any oorpora-
ioti or set of corjxirations with

Him for this offer of one hundred
•h insatid dollars will have been full
discharged when the national Demo
cratic convention adjourns. The |
tv will then be under no further
ligation to Denver.
The money can be taken and used
legitimately-. It may lie that t
money was offered to the Republican
party to get the Republican conven
Hen in Denver and that failing in that
movem-nt. the Democratic party was
in Paced to accept the offer. That m
i r may not lie true. If it is true,
.'imply means that, the Republicans
preferred some other place to Den-
i-r. There were no qualms of cons-
c-iuee in Republican breasts about
r< -ting tile money.
TEARS IN A LETTER.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Dried tears in a letter were offered
as convincing proof of grief in
btvaoh-of-promise case in an English
aw court recently.
A cab driver, it seems, asked a mil;
icn i-woman to marry him. In February
Us: they became engaged, and
•v tiding was to have taken place in
Si-ptcnilp r, hut the cab proprietor
•a >to asking the young woman to "lot
him free,’ as their "social condition
w- re not quite equal.”
The ; oiing woman s father, In repp
wrote the loiter, which was rean t
When you go to church and sing
yi sir praise, try to think of the hi
you have spurned and left with
broken heart.
"When you uplift your voice
prayer, may the Heaven be as bra
Mav God repay thee for what thou
lia>t done.”
Then followed 1,000 dots and these
words: mother's and daughter's
hearts which before they knew you
lever had a care.
"May you for every tear that falls
ml every throb in their hearts, re
el,t it millions and millions of times
ve,- and over again. an-I every time
ott look at a lass or hear the church
bolls at night when you go to sleep,
nil at morn when you awake, may
on think of this letter and a lass
it . a broken heart.”
The jury awarded 40 pounds ster
ling damages.
Atlanta, with her low negro dives
learned a real lesson on the whiskey
question some time since, and she Is
still learning lessons along that line.
Murdered policemen, riots, etc., are
powerful gkxid pointers along the road
to the preservation of peace and good
order. And there are few people in
Atlanta, whatever may be said to the
contrary, who are shedding tears over
the fact that within the next sixteen
days "the barrooms in that city will
close for all time.
HOW HE MADE IT UP.
Clark Williams, New York’s new
superintendent of banks, said the oth-
ilay of a bankrupt:
"It is m> winder the poor fellow
went under. When It became neces
sary for him to borrow, the securities
that, he offered were quite worthless.
This fact was pointed out to him, and
lie produced other bundles of securi
ties. less valuable, if possible, than
the first lot.’
Mr. Williams laughed:
“He reminded me,’’ he said, of a
waiter whom I heard about the other
day. This waiter was summoned an
grily by a> guest.
“ 'l/cok here, waiter,’ the guest
grumbled, ‘these oysters that you
have brought me ore bad.'
“ ’I know that, sir,' the waiter an
swered; “but we have given you three
more than you ordered to make up
for it.'”
