The cool mornings make cotton look “fox-eared.” Strawberries are selling at fifteen cents a quart. A large number ofcattages going up over the river. Eggs are scarce in the market, and chickens scarcer. The butchers In town who work for wages are on a strike. Rapid progress is now being made on the Georgia extension. Ice la now two cents a pound in Athena, but will be cheaper. Dr. Lipscomb will extend Col. Hug gins' store to the back street. Three cheers and a tiger for the Athens and Jug Tavern railroad! Oscar Wilde will doubtless visit Athens in June, and give a lecture. Gray now speaks fora page adver tisement. Who will be the next firm? A great deal of country produce is now being sold in Athens by farmers. We learn that cow pen- are selling in Oglethorpe county at $2 per bushel. There are a number of family bury ing grounds in the old lots of Athens. Nicholson, Hanford A Co's dry goods boom is now the sensation in Ariiens. 'Bus fare has dropped flown to twenty-five cents to any part of the city. Before the summer is past the streets of Athens will be put in fine condi tion. The business of Athens imperat ive ly demauds the connection of the two depots. Dr. W. M. Willingham thinks hr will make seventy-five bushels of oats per acre. The timbers of the railroad bridge will be shipped here ready for putting together. Home of our citizens are planting sunflower seed upon which to feed chickens. The foot-way at the lower bridge has broken down and should be at once repaired. Mr. J. A. Meeker has fifteen acres sown in luceru and fifteen in clover, for forage. Judge Howell Cobb lias the largest lot of improved breeds ofc'iiekens iu lie section. Athens is well watered with rip pling streams, and yet we are without water-works. Judge H. J. Hall tells us that he this week counted 103 stalks from one grain of oats. There is no doubt about tlio weekly Banner-Watchmau having 5,Of) sul>- acribera by fall. Mr. Bloomfield is grading a fine pavement in front ol hts property on Clayton street. The circulation of our daily is in creasing very fast, and it is now on u solid foundation. The small-pox scare is subsiding in Athena, ana our city will doubtless miss the plague. Home parts of the Georgia extension were literally covered with spectators Sunday evening. Mr. W. J. Morton will put up a wind-mill to supply every floor ot his house with water. Princeton factory will probably be increased to double its present capac ity in a short time. Our merchants must not let the North-Eastern suffer. It lias been the making of our city. A colored boy got 'ligioti Sunday and went up Market street siioutin ‘Glory to de lamb!” Thera are some beautiful Esquimaux dogs in Athens, but they ute liot- beua of hydrophobia. We had a pleasant call yesterday from Mr. Tom Berry anu HUuriif Young, of Oglethorpe. The fiaest shade tree in Athens stands in front of Mr. Holla Wilker- son's, on Prince avenue. Many of our citizens are having pri vate water-works put iu their resi dences, to be supplied from wells. When Athens gets her three milii .- iy companies orgauized the ne..t i.i • ; sue will need will be a liberty pole. Judge H. J. Hall, one of Ogle thorpe's oldest farmers, says he never saw such a prospect for small grunt. A gentleman came from South Car olina yesterday to see " Solid South.” Mr. Sid Hughes’ famous Jersey huh. Last week a cow brought from the lower edge of Oglethoriie to Atheus got out aud returned to her oid home. There is a mechanic iu Alliens get ting up an invention that will surpa.s even Uie most sanguine dreams ot Vt- rouee. ■ A New Line.—Drs. Lowrance and Hampton have their dental offices con nee ted by a regular telegraph liue— both these gentlemen being practical operators. ^ f Almost a Fire.—Yesterday a fire broke out in the lint room of Prince ton factory and for a short time great excitement prevailed—but fortunately the flames were subd ied without ma te* lal damage. Another Black Horse.—There is strong probability of a negro revenue collector being cbeseu in this district. He will doubtless meet with a hearty reception from those mountain boys. Let this black boom continue. Work Progressing.—The founda tion for the Lucy Cobb chapel has been laid, and now the brick walls are going up as fast as the masons can carry them. It will be a beautiful structure—an honor to our city. Water Pipe.—Mr. McWaters yes terday laid a three-inch pipe from McDermott's spring, on College ave nue, to the North-Eastern depot, to supply the tank. Like all of McWa ters' work, it was a superb job. Thk Mineralspring.—Our niltier- erul spring has at last been cleaned out, new benches put around it and the grounds otherwise improved. We ditl not learn whether this work was done by the picnic squad or tbe city. To Be Revived.—Mr. Ratiiffe, ot tbe Christian Telescope, has purchas ed the office of the late Watklnsville Advance, anil will continue the pub lication of tlie paper under the name of tlie “ County Monitor.” We wish the new venture every success. An Old Grave Yard.—Only our oldest citizens know that the campus was once a public burying ground, but such is the case. An aged lady o.' Athens says site can remember when graves were very thick at the site now occupied by the Phi Kappa hail. New Machinery.—Capi. R. Nick erson informs us that a large lot of new ntachinery lias been ordered for the Athens foundry, ana its capacity will soon be greatly enlarged. There is vague rumors of a car manfretory being established in Athens also. Oor city has certainly a bright future. Pledger’s Bond.—Yesterday the official bond of Pledger, the new sur veyor of customs, was completed and forwarded to Washington. Pledger is patiently awaiting his commission. When It is received he proposes to go Into his . office and create a rattling among the dry bones.—CtmtliiuHon. Sandy Creek Bridge—The sub ject of building another bridge over tlie river so as to bring the trade of tlie new road opened from Sandy Creek down College avenue is being agitat ed by our up-town merchants. Tills road will furnish a smooth and bem- tiful drive—something badly needed by Athens. A Granite Bed.—There is a mag nificent bed of fine building granite at Jug Tavern on the estate of Col. Wiley Bush. The chimneys of the houses for five miles each way are built of this stone. It splits in layers and can be easily worked. When the Jug Tav ern road is built, much of this stone will lie used in Athens. G koroi aTkaohkh’s Association.—The next session of this body will be Jteldjn Athensa(i May 105.. Wj J. W.

Up to last Saturday night there were eighty colored people converted in Watklnsville to tne Ba itist church in two weeks and ate reac,y for bap- "im. Large crowds from the country will attend the murder trial during our next term of court. It will be tlie second or third week before tlie ease is tried. The engine on the North-Eastern railroad jumped the track at Lula Thursday, owing to a defect in the frog, and the train was an hour later than usual. The colored Congiegationalists now hold their meetings at the Knox academy. A northern company, we learn, lately presented tlie church witli a nice organ. The ground was staked off yesterday by tbe Georgia Railroad for two de pots. The freight depot will lie in rear of foundry and the passenger depot near Broad street. Capt. J. W. Brumby is a strong be liever In underground draining for garden*, and says by this system twice as many vegetables can be rais ed on tbe same ground. Mr. David Oann last year hod a col ored man working on bis farm that lived ten days on blackberries alone, without eating a bite of anything else and worked all the time. Mr. A. R.

Buying Cattle.—There are two other parties in Athens that think 0/ buying up cattle in and near Athens for shipment to Augusta and Savan nah. Including Mr. Kilgore, there will lie three men in the cattle busi ness here. It has been hard to get good beef for some time heretofore and we may look for worse in the >'u- tnre, if these cattle dealers continue to ship the best beeves from around Athens. Gin House Burned.—Mr. John Matthews, who lives in the edge 0/ Madison county near Athens, night before last had his gin house complete ly destroyed by fire. Mr. Matthews got a dog and put him on the track of the supposed incendiary. The dog went straight to the house of one of Mr. Ms ..thews' neighbors, and it was with difficulty he could be gos.ea away. This is the third or fourth time Mr. Matthews has had his gin burned. MoreCompla»nts.—Yesterday one n.' our merchants retu. ned from a . .

Freight lrom Atlanta, reaches Carnesville in a j ia early life and lived day and a half, while from Athens it " often requires two or three weels.

Mr. FortiS** Adams, who is em ployed at the Athens Factory. It seems ro*n the testimony that the little girl, qgfotte.' with several others, was tiliiy- rtg iirthe old uinfeed cemetery on Jack- sou street, when they wee approached by this fellow Seago, who taking his lit tle vietim aside wider some trivial ex cuse- ut.einpted a brutal assault upon her person; but the chilli’s frightened scretuns tei rifled the villain ami drove him off befote the consummation of bis vile purpose. Tig; children ran fright* eoed honie„,»wben -the child tol I her mother Ute tfyirYy Tito father and broth* er of the little girl were made acquaint ed at once with the&flsault, and the case put in Ihe hands of the police. It was a fortunate toWgifflitoifo tost he fell into $1^0 clutches of the law before the b other of his wouh'-be vlcrro could mich him.orhe'wonld never have been subjected to the ordeal of a trial.

After tlie screams of the fid, .upon his familiarity, alarmed the o ilers, lie did all he could to pacify her —even going so far as offering her mon ey not, to tell on him. But he soon found 1 )}s would no,, work and ran off.

Her grief was deep apd undisguised. She wrung her hands; the tears streaming dpwq her face, as she told her sad story to tlie vep it :r. She said she was born in Oeonee, and had relatives in th" low er pai t of that eounty; tliat iier husband had Intel) good to iier and she could not believe him guilty of the horrible crime. Mrs. Seago also stated that she was in most destitute circumstances, had not a thing In thfc'house for either herself or little boy, and that they must suffer.

Ben edict and Campbell had been dis patched to Quitman by Solicitor-Gen eral Mitchell to exhume the body of Walter Rountree and find the ball that caused his death. Tlie mission of these two gentlemen, who returned to the city Sunday evening, was not known probably to any one outside of the state’s counsel. We endeavored to get all the facts and lay them before our readers this morning, but the .So licitor-Genera! und Dr. Benedict re fused to be interviewed, and therefore iiad to rely solely on what we could gather 011 the streets, and give them to tfie public for what they are worth. Tlie ba I that Dr. Benedict cut from the b-idy of Walter Rountree was brought to city on his return Sunday evening, and was weighed, to gether with another ball taken from Frank Johnson’s pistol, by Dr. Joe Jacobs, at his drug store on Col lege avenue, and tbe result was ascer tained that the ball that ended Wal ter Roumree’s life came from Bartow Rountree’s pistol. We would have been glad to have given an extended account of tlie whole proceedings, but those that knew the facts refused to reveal them unless all other parties gave theirco.i- sent. Even if these rumors are correct, and they are correct in so far as our infor mation goes, it by no means disposed of Frank Johnson and Enos Echols. They yet have gloomy roads to travel before they can bask iu the sunlight of freedom. They will be charged witli an assault witli attempt to mur der, and there is 110 doubt that they intended to murder young Rountree when they met him on tlie fatal even ing, and 4liey will be con.feted on that charge. Tlie penalty is ten years in tlie chain-gang. Tlie foil particu lars will be given in to-morrow’s pa per.
