BANNER-WATCHMAN. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY AND CITY tUBSCRIFTION. »1 SO P*B YKAR IK ADVANCE. LARGEST OKOUTBt II NORTHEAST GEORGIA. T. L. GANTT, Editor & Prop’r the cotton futures decision. The decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia in the case of the Exchange Bank of Augusta vs. Cunningham is important,inasmuch as it sets the seal of condemnation upon dealings in “futures.” It has been prettv generally believed that such transactions were but a spe cies of gambling and that the courts will condemn them. The decision is valuable, howcv er, more than for the moral effect it may have upon exchanges and in dividual dealers than for any dim- inition of the practice of this spe cies of speculation, that it may work per se. Men will gamble till the crack of doom, and gentlemen, however wrongful the practice, will hesitate long—no matter what the sacrifice may be, ere they refuse to pay a gambling debt. True, in some cases necessity may impel the loser to take advantage of the ruling of the court, but that dealings in fu tures will decrease to any marked extent by reason of the decision is not to be expected. It would he well for the young men of the South, if the moral tone of commercial circles should become so elevated as to taboo the practice of dealing in futures, but until this reformation is wrought, nothing shore of a penal statue will accom plish any stable improvement. Even with such a statue men would still lake risks. If the decision, howev er, shall act as the leaven of reform that will permeate commercial cir cles, many a young man will be sav ed, in a measure, from the anguish and disgrace, that speculation too often gives tise to, and many a household will not be made to suffer the misery that the recklessness of its head so often involves. OFF FOR CONGRESS. 1i aintm tlle Eatjlf. lion. Allen D. Candler, our Con gressman elect, left last night for Washington city, where Congress convenes on Monday next. This man whom our people have honored so graciously is deserving ot all honor, and we say it with pride, affection and esteem. A man who, by his indomitable will doth raise himself financially and intel lectually ns hchasdone in the mean while, always standing on the side of morality, justice and honor, lis tening to the dictates of 'reason and sound sense—is destined to occupy no inferior position, and will grace with honor any field of operations in which lie may be placed by an appreciative people. lie goes away without a blot on his character, without a scintilla of evil suspicion resting behind in the breast of his people, and will return — ffter having worked earnestly— pledged to the best interest of his section and the democracy of Geor gia. We in the behalf of the growing democracy of the Ninth Congres sional district that elected him, arc willing for his record to judge of him. Work for the next Congrcss- ducc the taxes. Carlisle the Banner-Watchman man was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. The carp was originally a native of Central Asia. It was introduced into Austiia in 1227. into England in 1504, and into this country in 1830. The first experiment here, though, proved a failure, and the fish was almost unknown until Mr. Hessel brought 345 of the different varieties from Bremen for the Uni ted States fish commission in May, »S77- A singular case is reported at St. Thomas, Canada. A young man employed in the sewing machine works, who has been accustomed to working alone, has become so prone to whistling that as soon as he is by himself he unconsciously begins. Even when asleep he whistles with astonishing shrillness. A pale coun tenance and a loss of appetite re cited, and a physician recommend ed that the young man be placed in the society of a boy, who should give him a blow as soon as be be gins to whistle. This novel reme dy will be tried. Train robberies still continue to be one of the principal products ol the wild west. A well bred train robber can go out about Denver or Leadville, and get good wages and plenty of work to do. All young dime novel readers should avail themselves of this opportunity to marry a quick living and have a chance to make a big name at short notice. Several newspapers are having train robbers to go out west just to give them a chance to get up a double-headed article. THANKSGIVING DAY. Itt Origin, El story and Some of Its Observances The Magazine of American His tory gives us the history of Thanks giving day and its origin. From the papers we learn that the earli est thanksgiving service was held by the Church of England men. The Popham colonists, who, Au gust 9, 1607, (O. S.) landed upon Monhcgan, near the Kennebec, and under the shadow of a high cross, listened to a sermon by Chaplain Seymour, “giving good thanks for our happy meetings and safe arri val in the country.” Next we pass to Plymouth, where in 1621, the autumn after the arri val, a notable thanksgiving was held. The brief accounts present a joyous picture. As we learn from \\ inslow, the harvest being gather ed, the governor "sent four men out fowling, that so we might, after a special manner, rejoice together,’’ and the traditional turkey was ad ded to the abundant venison. The people gave themselves up to recre ation, and the great chief Massasoit was feasted for three days with his ninety swarthy retainers. Possibly on this first Plymouth thanksgiving, there was more ca rousing than wc suppose, while there is not the slightest indication of any religious observance. Mas- sasoit and his braves, no doubt, en joyed it all greatly, as the thanks giving idea was entertained by the Indians before their contact with the whites, and in their celebrations there was much excess. How much "comfortable warm water” the grave and reverend elders them selves consumed during those three days of jollity. Bradford does not say. In 1622 there is no mention of thanksgiving, hut in 1623 a day was kept, not. however, in tne autumn as a harvest festival, hut in July, upon the arrival of some provisions. After ibis nothing more is heard of thanksgiving at Plymouth for near ly half a century. So far as the colonial records go. they indicate tha» the day did not find a revival until 166S, whep there was some kind of a thanksgiving. Again, June 27, 16S9, there was a thanks giving lor tlie accession of William and Mary. In 1690 an autumnal thanksgiving was held, and the next year Plymouth colony was merged in Massachusetts, and so passes out of the story. If any festival can he said to have been established, it was established in imitation ot the cus toms across the sea. Distinct re ligious societies, however, may have kept occasional thanksgivings, as the people at Barnstable observed thanksgiving on December 22, 1636, and December tl, 1639. In the Massachusetts colony the first thanksgiving was held at Bos ton, July 8, 1630, it being a special occasasion, having no reference to harvests. Again, in February. 1S31, there was a thanksgiving, as already noticed. In the October followed a thanksgiving was held fertile safe arrival of “Mrs. Winthop and her children.” In these appointments we do not find the thanksgiving that we know to-day, nor do we detect any fell design against Chris- mas. In 1632, one June 5, tnere was a thanksgiving for the victo ries of the Palatinate, and in Octo ber another for Jthe harvest. In 1637 there was a thanksgiving for victory over the Pequots, and in 163S for the arrival of ships and for the harvest. The thanksgiving for days from 1634 to 16S4, numbered about twenty-one in every two years. The celebration of 1676 had special reference to the victory over King Philip. From the period un til the revolution, a thanksgiving of some kind occurred nearly every other year and even twice in the same year, as in 1745. Some of these days were appointed by the royal governors, while again they were ordered by the King or Queen or l»y the home board of trade. After the close of the tevolution a tendency to make Thanksgiving day a regular instition in New York was at once apparent, and Gov. John Jay, in 2795, issued a procla mation for the 11 th of November. The act however was seized upon by politicians, who maintained that he was seeking to JUatter religious prejudices. At an early period, also, the May ors of New York were accustomed to appoint a day of thanksgiving, in accordance with the recommen dations of tlie council, and that of December 16, 1799, appears to have been the first so ordered. Yet the observance of the day until Gov ernor Clinton’s time was more or less broken. The festival was kept however, by Episcopalians, accord ing to the provisions of tlie prayer- book, other religious bodies at the same time following their own pre ferences. Clinton's course, like Jay’s, excited criticism. At the east end of I-ong Island there was no little murmuring because the day did not coincide with the local cus tom. It appears that the people of the East and Southampton observed thanksgiving on Thursday after the cattle were driven home from the common pastures at Montauk Point, the day of the return of the cattle being fixed annually, with due solemnity, at the town meeting, lienee there was a collision and the herdsmen were divided, striving as the herdsmen of Abraham’s cattle strove with those of Lot. But this was no case of an immovable body opposed to an irresistible force, and therefore the opponents of Clinton gave way,’though not without many expostulations. Here was the be ginning of the movement which led to the first presidential procla mation nationalizing Thanksgiving day. TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS. The small-pox has broken out in Gadsden, Ala. Walton county will have another newspaper soon. The Virginia legislature has a democratic majority on a joint ba! - lot of 32.

Selma, Nov. 30.—E. K. Mar shall, a stage machincst ofthe Mad ison Square “Rajah” compauy, w; s accidentally killed here this morn ing. About 2 o’clock, while on his way to a water-closet, he opened the wrong door and walked off an exposed landing on the second landing of the Southern hotel, fall ing into the court below, a distance of twenty feet, and breaking his neck. Columiiia, November 29.—The political cases which begin to-mor row in tlie United States court be fore Judges Bryan and Bond, excite widespread interest. An array of eminent counsel, beaded by ex-At- t irney General Youmans and exj Governor Magrath, is retained for the defense. They had a confer ence here to-night and resolved to defend accused to the last extremity. The legislature will probably appro priate to morrow ten thousand dol lars for their defense. The govern ment is represented by District At torney Melton and Hhtory Speer. The newspapers bitterly abuse Speer. He will have a thorny road, for threats are openly made against him. He is registered at the Grand Central hotel. He brings four as sistants—two of them are G.Thomas Osborne and A. F. Cooledge, of Atlanta, and the other two are cali- graph writers. Chicago, Nov. 29.—A romantic marriage took place to-day at the Briggs House, being the culmina tion of several years’ courtship over the wire between a fair haired maid en named Minnie O'Dell, of St. ]ohn, N. B., and Ilayy II. Ailing- ton, of Fort worth Texas. Tlie two were telegraph operators, and their acquaintance l>y wire began several years ago, when the young lady ac cidently sent a message by the Fort Worth operator mentioned. The friendship by wire sprung up and the two frequently conversed in the intervals not employed. They bade each other good morning and kissed each other good night by electricity. Finally Allington propose. and was accepted in lighting time. The first meeting at the Brigg's House was a genuine love scene, shortly after which a clergyman was called and the two operators made one, but not by wire. Columbia, Nov. 30.—The first political case began in the United States court to-day, the room being crowded. The liveliest interest was manifested in the proceedings. The case of the government against John A. Mitchell, colored democrat of Charleston, who took an active part in the last political canvass, was taken up. The indictment charge's him with obstructing and intimidat ing voters. The defense made argument urging the court to declare the new rule of procedure harnton izing with the recent legislative enactment against the prosecuting officer standing aside jurors. Emory Speer argued against the motion Judge Bond overruled the motion, Judge Bryan dissenting. The de fense then made an effort to in validate the jury panel on the ground that it was illegally drawn This, too, was overruled by Judge Bond. The defense sought to quash the indictment but failed. These preliminary skirmishes occupied the court till adjournment. To-morrow the jury will be empaneled and the case will take several days. It is regarded as an important test case. Mr. Speer is disgusted with his re ception by the bar, which is any thing but cordial. He is determin ed, he says, to proceed with the case regardless of public censure. A joint resolution has been intro duced in the legislature and favor ably reported on appropriating ten thousand dollars for the defense of the accused in these cases. Noth ing but unimportant routine busi ness occupied the legislature to-day. POPULAR TICKET. STOLEN WIT. Wliy ilo the little boys behave So well and look so grave?

This is pretty, indeed, but w hen you come to think of it, doesn’t it cast a blamed uncomplimentary slur 011 married life? “The surest way to take cold,” said a distinguished phy-itian, is to “hug the stove.*’ Young melt who go courting an Sunday nights should remember this and not spend all their time hugging the stove. Jones asked his wife, “Why ha hus band like dough?” He expected she would give it up, and he was going to tell her that it was because a woman needed him ; hut she said it was because he was hard to get oil’ her hands. “If you would be happy, my dt ar,” said one New York lady to another, “you will have neither eyes nor ears when your husband comes home late from the club.” “Yes, I know,” an swered the other wearily, “hut what am I to do with my nose?” A11 old colored man was endeavoring to pacify a young colored woman who was greatly excited about something at tile L'nion Station hist night. .Said tin- old chap: “Sec here, honey, ef ye doesn’t trouble trouble, trouble won’t trouble you A Brooklyn hoy wrote a composition on the subject of the Quakers, w hich hr described as a sect who never quarreled, never got into a light, never clawed euoli other, and never jawed hack.

In Gainesville, Georgia the liar- room of Pappy A Stanley caught on fire about 1 o'clock, when every thing was still during the night of the last week and completely burned out the wood work, below of a two story building without even scorching the roof, because it was painted with \V.
