Lawshe of the Southron says: “We regret to see that ef forts ate being made to atir up association a success. The weather is most delightful, and the day all that one could ask. The circus in- terferred somewhat in attendance uoon the fair, but a good attendance was on the grounds all day. We were in the buildings about noon Monday, wlyn but little work was done. It certainly seemed upon our entrance yesterday, that some magic wand had touched this spot, and on the instant had transformed the hare buildings into an en chanted hall. Until a very late hour at night the ex- exhibitors had been at work, and nearly every department was per fect. The Main Hall was filled with dii.plays by our merchants and man ufacturers. and it certainly reflect- credit upon our city and its re : -otirces.

By times the fair grounds were filled with the leauty and chivalry of Athens and djacent counties. A number additions had been made to the ex tiibits, and the fair bloomed into ;iand success. As on the first day he ladies’ department was ihe cer tie of attraction, and having rece'v ed the tinishirg touches from hun dreds of fail hands, it blossomed into a scene of loveliness. We promised our readers to-day a full description of the exhibits, hut it i too great a task to be undertaken at once, but Miss Maud Miller, the gilled daughter of Joaquin Miller, has kindly promised to complete the undeitaking for us, and we hope to-morrow to present a lengthy review from the pen of this fair and beautiful writer. You enter the ladies’ department by stairs leading from the grand stand. The walls arejeovered with lovely paintings from the young ladies of Athens and pupils of the Lucy Uobb Institute and Home School. Many ot them are supe rior works of art. The walls are festooned with the handiwork ol the ladies, including quilts, afghans. knit work, etc., etc. The long tables and show cases are filled with china paintings, plaques, and all manner of fancy articles. The mer chants of our city have nearly all the most creditable displays, and the choicest goods and wares from their stores are beautifully arranged. There were several additions made yesterday to the Jltock exhibit, which is now the finest ever seen in Georgia. ' To-day we will detail a reporter in every room, and see that e ^ r y exhibitor has deserved mention. The directors were so busy yesterday th|tt we could not obtain the names of exhibitors. That the fair is a success, surpassing the most san guine expectations of its friends, cannot be denied. The second day of the fair open ed bright and beautiful, and soon after eight o’clock long lines of catriages, wagons, buggies and pe destrians could be seen maktng their way to the fair grounds. The main entrance to the grounds is presided pverby Dr. Orr, John Mc- Kie and D. M. Kenney- These gentlemen will give you a small worth, Put the bay proved too much for Little Giant. The next was a trotting race, which was very good. The renown ed old Bob, owned and driven by Fiak Price came in sn easy winner in both heats trotted. The Jersey display will take place to-day and will be very fine. There are quite a number of fine Jerseys at the grounds and the display to day will be one of the big features of the week. Judge II.

FORTUNE FAVORED. low JOHN JACOB ASTOR LA ID THE FOUNDATION OK HIS WEALTH. aaanza Mackey as an Inventor--A Fortu- *nati Permit. New York Ursphlc. Speaking of John Jacob Astor, e first, I cannot help realizing the n.-mory of conversations I have rd between him and ray father - hen I was a boy. •People think ” said the old man, that 1 nave had an easv time of it. -ut that's a mistake. My early -life ras a haul struggle, and even my ■vn brother refused to lend me m .ney.” This brother was a butcher’ nam- .1 Henry, pretty well oil, with a •all in the Bare market—>r Bear tarket as it got to be afterward ailed—and writhed under John acob's borrowing*. One day when ne latter went to him for $200, Henry said: ‘■John, I’ll willingly ;ive yon $100 il you will promise ne that you will never come to me gain to borrow.” “I c.o-etl with the offer at once, ind took the money,” said Astor, .oughing heartily. I h: vc heard him tell how lie got his first start in life. He kept his -lore in Feck Slip, and there nought urs, almost any that were offered tint, until he had a stock packed away that he could not realize on. What to do he did'not know, but consulting with his wife, as he al ways did about everything, the con clusion was that he should go to Lo tdon and sell them himwelf. This was carried out, and John Jacob carried his furs to London and made a good thing of it. While there, and wandering over the great city,, he came across what was known as the East India House or Company, and recognized a name as chief of it as one familiar. lie sought him and found a schoolmate in his native place in Germany. His schoolmate did not repudiate him, but tried to do everything he could to make Astor feel that he wanted ro serve him, and, among the rest when he was leaving gave him a permit for a ship to trade in the China seas. John Jacob laughed at the gift, but took it, and had almost forgotten its possession, when one day something he heard made him go to a merchant named Livermore and propose that lie find capital to fit out a ship and use the permit, and they snould share the result. Livermore, at first rejecting the proposal, afterward accepted it, and the voyage was successfully undertaken, and from it Astor realized *50,00x3. Then he took the permit and fitted out a ves sel himself and laid the tuundation of his enormous fortune. John Jacob never denied that he owed his success in a large measure to the act that he always consulted with his wife, whom I remember an a clear-headed, practical woman. MARRIED *HIS MOTHER. A Richmond Correspondent rtTpietne the Present Statu ol the Case. Richmond, Oct. 29.—Editor Ban ner-Watchman: In glancing over your paper of a recent issue, I no ticed that you mentioned that the adjudged murde.er, Cluverius, had been gt anted a new trial. Vouhave doubtless been misinformed, for the supreme court of the state has sim ply granted a stay of execution of sentence, and will hear argument on the motion for a new trial at the November term of the court, which commences in the early part of the month. As to the verdict of this higher tribunal, no one can, with any degree of -certainty, sarniise. The prisoner has, in his senior coun sel, one of the ablest criminal law yers of the bar of Virginia, whose subtlety of language and great ex perience in other cases, enabli s him 10 present his client’s cause with great force and power. But, on the other hand, in young Me edith, the prosecuting attorney, the old sage of the Richmond bar, has found, and will find again, a fieman worthy of his steel, who will guard with eloquence, evidence and the law, every point through winch he may attempt a break, and thus re lease the convicted. Should the prisoner be granted a new trial, the commonwealth will have a greater battle to fight than before, in that one ol its most impor tant witnesses has since tne first trial, died. It is up< • It s testimony that the counsel I r che defense makes a great light tor a new trial. This witness was the young man to whom the note was given at the hotel by the prisoner, to be sent to Miss Madison, and who tote it up, throwing it into the waste basket, upon it being returned to him, Miss Madison not being jfound. When the case reached the court, he iden tified the note, (having been put together by detectibes), as the same one that was sent to him that night. Upon the admission of his evidence, ihe counsel for defense objected, and, as said above, are making their greatest fight on it. But enough of this, and sufficient to say, that snould the mutderer ever gain bis liberty, it will in no wise change the opinion ot the people as to his guilt, but they will look upon the verdict as meaning “not guilty, nut proven.” Rex. JACKSON COUNTY* LEAVES OP ITS HISTORY, WRITTEN AND UNWRITTEN. PREAMBLE. A MEMPHIS SENSATION. A Drunken Husband Attempts to Assassi nate Ble Wife’s Friend on the Street. Memphis, Nov. 3.—The report of a pistol last evening, in the neighborhood ol the Peabody Ho tel, on Main street, startled the p«- ilestrians,and the loud shriek of X woman caused a great rush of peo ple to the spot. Arriving at the scene a young man, with a heavy overcoat on, was seen gesticulating in a violent manner. He was taken ill charge by a police ollicer. while another raised the helpless form ot a woman from oil’ the sidewalk, where she had fallen in a fainting condition. The woman was the wile of the man with the heavy overcoat on. At the time of the shooting she was walking with a gentleman named Wnt. Emmett, when the pair were suddenly con fronted by the husband, who,draw ing a pistol, fired at Emmett. The ball sped wide ot its mark, and before another shot could be fired Emmett had fled and the shoot er was under arrest. His name is Robert A. Schultz. He formerly lived in Kansas Cily and was mar ried to his wife there five years ago. They came to Mem phis in 1SS3. lie is a gunsmith by trade and wotks 011 Main street. They have one child, a hoy, four years old. Their married life has not been happy. It is said that a few days ago, Schultz, while intoxicated, turned his wite out of doors. Mrs. Schultz, who seems to be a woman of re finement, soon got shelter with a neighbor, and has been with her ever since un- til last night, when, as stated, while going to church with Emmett,'who has befriended her since her hus band deserted her, her companion’s life was attempted. Schultz would not make any statement, l<ut seemed to be in a semi-intoxicated condition. While being conveyed to the station house he made threats •f killing both Emmett and his wife.

The old London map of 1775* dimmed by the ever moving finger of time, gives nearly all the princi pal streams ot Northeast Georgia. The Oconee and its various branch es seems to have received particular attention. The main streams of this river took its name from the tribe of Oconee Indians who settled in the present limits of Washington county about 1690, where they re- mained until 1715, when they emi grated to the western banks of the Chattahoochee, principally now in Hall and Habersham counties. Passing through this county from Tallassce to Hurricane Slioals, they still applied the name of Oconee to its three principal head branches. Properly, these streams should he called North, Midi! e ami South Oconee. Really, Walnut,Fork and Mulberry Forks have no well known significance, though they were thns designated in the first settlement ot the county. Both Creeks and Cherokee*, how ever, called the Nor*h Oconee Etoho; Walnut Fork, Ith'oher: and Mulberry Fork,Tishmago Etoho, Ithlobee'and Tishinagn, were names of three brothers who were noted warriors away back in the misty past. Taken separately the words mean one, two, three son*. Titus Eto, son; ho, one. Ith, another; lobee, two, Tish, one more; tttague, three. Translated—One son. another *on, one more sou. Hence the propriety of calling these streams by one gelt eral name having distinctive aope!- atives. The name of fciandy ereek i* Fo- cataligo—on the m:p. Poeatayhgo The origin of this 11 ini- i« curious, and literally means a terrapin. Turkey creek, on which Jackson's null is located, was Pinhollowah. Pidawah means a turkei; hollowah high up. Au Indian hilled a turkei on a high tree which stood near the banks of this stream. Curry's Creek, running by Jeffer son, was named Tohesofskee Sofskee was an Indian di*n made of beaten corn meal. Tolte means. I have lost. A11 Indian, when crossing the creek iti time ol high water, lost his dinner. Hurricane creek, which runs into the North Oconee nc-r Hurricane sltosls went by the curious name ol Tooktocangee. To ikto incans a cornhouse or crib; engee signifies, fixed or standing. Near the mouth of this stream there was tent a I standing supply of corn—fqr the hunters in time of peace, and for the warriors in time of war. These fixed supplies of corn were kept at various places throughout the na tion. The grain was planted, cul tivated and stored wholly by the women. Those engaged in the work were called huctons, that is, burden bearers. The still more curious name of Cahootaconnagh was applied to the Double Branches in Newton dis trict. Cahoota means wolf, and connaugh, trap. There was a wo‘f trap between these two branch-s, and the precise spot of its location is still known. It was a square hole dug in the earth eight or ten feet deep, some six f»et aero,s the top, but much larger at bottom. In this hole a piece of fresh meat was thrown for a bait, and acro-s across the top were placed reeds just strong enough to hold a cover ing ot forest leaves. The hungry wolf, scenting the meat, was sure to scratch for it aiming the leaves, and the reeds, not being sufficient to bear the strain, gave way, and left his wolfship nothing to do but fall to the bottom, where he was doomed to await the arrival of o: the Knights of Lztor of North America., To ihe FubCfc: The alarming development and aggressiveness of great capitalists and corporations, unless checked, will inevitably lead forced by Re«pon*ib!’lty Into Showing Hie True Colors.

Watch this man—this Second Lieutenant of Company “F.” Ht is almost a giant in size. He has a fie-ce eye, a roaring voice, and men have said that he was as brave as a lion. VVhen the regiment swung into position and the battery opened he said to himself: “How foolish in us to attack the enemy when he was seeking to re treat. This blunder will cost u> many lives. Our fire will soon be returned, and it will..be good-by to half our regiment. I shall be one of the first to fall. If I was one of the rear rank privates, I’d give all the money I hope to ever have.” As three—five—ten minutes pass away and the fire is not returned, the coward begins to pluck up heart. .He blusters at the men, tries to joke with the officers on his right, and says to himseli: “Ega.l! but this may tun. out all right. We are in no danger so far, and it the enemy retreats we shall share the credit. I must try and make everybody believe that I -am disappointed because we have not been ordered to advance.” Boom—shriek—crash! Now the enemy open fire in reply. They have six guns to auswet three. I11 two minutes they have the range and a shell kills or wound* five or six men. The coward’s cheeks grow pale again, and he whispers: “Great heavens’, but we shall all be slaughtered! Why doesn’t the Colonel order us to retire? Why are men kept here to be shot down in this way ? Wliat a fool I was not to go on the sick list last night! If it wasu’tlhat so many are looking at me. I'd lie down tj escape the fire!" Another shell—a third—lourth— fifth, and th.rty or forty men have been killed. Men won’t stand that long. They must either retreat or advance. “We shall advance,” whispers the coward. “The order will come to dash forward and tike those guns. Shot and shell and grape will leave none of n* alive. What folly to advance! I hope I may be slightly wounded, so that I shall have an excuse for seeking cover in some of these ditches.” An aid tides up to the Colonel atul gives an order. The Colonel rides to tile head of his line and orders the lines dressed for an ad vance. The men dress under a hot fire, and the coward groans aloud. “It isawlul to die this way! How idiotic in me to accept a commis sion—to enter the service—to put myself in front ot death! Oh, dear, it I could only get some excuse for lagging behind!'’ Tue lines dash forward into the smoke—the enemy’s tile grows more rapid—the dead and wounded strew tho ground. ‘Where and what of the coward?

She ha* been living in New York for several years,and recenily met Harrison Turner, of San Francisco. Neither knew the relationship then existing between them, and, as Mrs. Goodie had re tained her youth and beauty, they were] eventually married. Their true position was revealed to them only a few days ago. The effect was terrible. Their friends quickly hurried one of them ofl to South America and the other to Europe, and every possible effort is being made to hush the matter up. Kavlvalist Scruggs. Arkansas) Traveler. The Rev. Elixir Scruggs is crear ing quite a sensation in Arkansaw, as a revivalist. He belongs to the Sam Jones school, but his language and his ideas are much further ad vanced than those of Mr. Jones. The following is an extract from a sermon recently preached by Mr. Scruggs: “The devil has announc ed himself as a candidate for the chief ruler ot men, and it is our duty to go to the polls and defeat him. More than that, it is our duty to stuff the ballot-box with righteousness— our duty to caunt the old scoundrel out. The devil once made it a bus iness to lead me by the ear, but I was determined to break away from him even if I left the ear in his paw, - but thanks to All-wise Providence, I suc ceeded in getting away without abbreviation. 1 believe that hell is hotter now than it ever has been. The heat of that place increases with the zoming of each year. After a while it will be so that we’ll all have to wear thick-soled boots. Ah, how I do love you all! How I would like to see us all united in one grand brotherhood! My triends, when the devil tides up to your gate and yells “helloa!” don’t slip out the back door, but go out and fight him with all your strength. If he downs you do not ask for mercy, bur get out of his way as best you can and pray for more strength. I do not charge anything for my preaching, but will take every cent you are a mind to give me. Let us pray.” his captors.

One of the main features at the Macon fair was a live possum up in a persimmon tree. This must have been vety interesting to the colored Coal From an Artesian Well. John W. Forester exhibited in the Albany News & Advertiser office Friday specimens of hard coal that had been taken only a few hours before from the Leesburg artesian well. In appearance it differs yery little from the ordinary, hard bitu minous coal, except that it is per haps a little more glossy. It burn ed very readily when put in the fire. Mr. Forester said he did not know the exact depth at which these spec imens were found, but that it was something beyond 100 feet. A gen tleman from Florida is boring the well, and is using what is known as the dry process. He struck a strata of this coal Friday, and drew up pieces of it larger than hickory nuts. some places front three to four miles wide. About thir*v years ago ihe writer saw one joint of a reed which was cut fr.nn the batiks ot' Taurulahoole some time '.11 the lat ter part of the las' Century. It was called “the Indian’s Bottle.-” This bottle ha* something <■! a history. The hollow in the. reed was nearly two inches in diameter, and about twenty inches long. It was used for a -whiskey bottle,” and was said to conia'19 enough ol the “fire water” to make any In dian drunk. Originally it was owned and used by an Indian who remained here year* alter the coun try came into the undisputed pos session of the white man. His real name was Ysattee, nut the pioneer settlers called him Jolly Jumper. He lived somewhere not far ftoin the present site ol Jug Tavern, and the corner of Jackson, Walton, and Gwinnett counties i* said to he the precise spot of lolly Jumper’s grave. Throughout the early occupation of this immediate settlement hy the whites, he was a noted cha-acter, being bold, eloquent,-and highly in telligent. When seen by the writer “the In dian’s Bottle” was in the posses sion of Bob Stovall, a giant negro man, well known in the country. Some years before, Bob had pur chased his own and his wife’s free dom of John Stovall, who lived where Z. W. Hood now resides; and in this curious bottle he care fully kept the certificate which made him a free man. Be it said to his honor, Bob used his freedom faithfully and well, and died at an extreme old age about the time the war between the States came to a close. Fatal ASra;.

Slagging Match In Boweraville. There was in Bowersville las Saturday evening a fair fight in at nee country. It was told us by an eye-witness as we came down the road recently—by one who re minded u» as-much (by the part he played in it) of Ransey Sniffles as the fight ttself did of the days in which Longstreet lived and from which he drew his grapnic pictures. Hilly and Vickery, two Bower(y)s villians, are the premium sluggers of their best, standing six in their stockings, and weighing 1S0. It seem* that Hilly had insulted Vick ery's father-in-law, and that Vick ery hud taken the matter up. The two met in Bowersville on the above mentioned evening and wanted lo fight it out. Tne mar shal interfered till he got tired and went off’ to supper. While gone the hackers of both parties arranged tlie preliminaries alter the old fash ion. A ring was made and the combatants stripped the waist. . They were placed inside, and at a given signal the two seconds, with each a hand ou the hats ot the principals and one on their backs, pulled hats and shoved them together. They closed and fought for twenty minutes with varied lortiines, until finally Vick ery got on top. and his antagonist, through the blood and dirt in his mou 'h, cried enough! They were both tearfully pounded, but fully satisfied, a* were all parties, includ ing tne municipal authorities.—El berton Leader. The Storm Xing Raging. Halifax, N.
