The polls were opened at 1) o’clock at each one of the polling precincts, in the ditferent wards, and for some time the voters came in very slowly. The idea had gone forth that it took 052 votes to carry the election in favor of bonds, and those who had no particular interest in the welfare and prosperity of the city concluded that to stay away from the polls would defeat the issue of bonds. '1 lie main trouble was organization Those who were in favor of issuing bonds did not know wbeie to work or how t» work. A few car.ia^es were em ployed by some of our enterprising cili- z *ns, who felt that the good of the city of Athens demanded it. The most of the carriages spent the greater part cf their time in the shade, as the merchants who were quietly resting in the rear of their stores claimed thnfr they were too busy to go to the polls. At 11 o’clock only about one hundred votes had been polled. This did not discourage the friends of tho Technological School, and they looked forward to dinner time when everybody would turn out and vote. There was not much of a disposition to vote against the issue of bonds, and only a few had the nerve to come squarely to the front and vote “No Bonds.” At the 3d ward two votes were polled against bonds by two prominent citizens. In the 1st ward there was one vote polled by a man who had lived in the eity all of his life. The colored portion of the city said they were in favor of bonds, but the most of them were conspicuous in stay ing away. It is thought by some that the principal cause of their absence was the almighty dollar, which is generally such a powerful factor in elections. They were talked to by the citizens who were interested, and shown the ad vantages to arise from this school, and went up and voted for b>nds without money or price, thus showing that they only had to be showa what was the best interest of our city, and they wculd stand by us. Too much praise cannot be given the colored people lor assisting this great enterprise. Late in the evening it was rumored on the street that it only took a few votes to get the requisite number, and thon the workers went to work in earnest, and every nook and corner of Athens was searched for men who had not voted. Carriages went through the street in a run with orders to get back with voters before the polls were closed and the fol lowing is the result from each ward: 1st ward.—For Bonds, 230; No Bonds. 10. 2d ward—For Bonds, 141; No Bonds 3. 3d ward—For Bonds, 1GG; No Bonds, 4. 4th ward—For Bonds, 123; No Bonds, 5.

VV ith out a word of warning, without the utterance of complaint, without even a hint that there was dissatisfaction either with -wages, time or work, the men struck, confessedly because another employe on another railway, which the Missouri Pacific did not control, had been discharged. Mr. lloxie and Mr. Kerrigan saw at once the formidable nature ot the Knights of Labor organization. They had seen it grow with misgiv ings even belore tne striV e, but could ste no way to check what they re gardedas baleful influences.

Athin has long b:en not d fork * fi ©stock of every description, and w. have imported cows, horses, lings : nd even chickens, of the finest nreeds at d registered; but it was not unlit recently that some of our enterprising citizens have gone into the business of raising fine dogs for sale, and the investmo it has proved so profitable that from this hitherto unknown source the revenue of the city wil be considerably aii&aicnted, There is more money .in breeding and selling fine dogs than even horses or cattle. To give an illustration, tl ere Is one gentlcrann in Athena who last ycoV sold $500 worth of puppies from one female, and he has now orders ahead for all that he can breed. New Found- land and Pug pups bring from $10 to $2o each, St Bernard's from $25 to $50, and pointers and setters from $25 to $50. They are worth twice this sum at the North. Great pains are Liken with these dogs, and they are looked after and ^tiarded as carefully as so much gold. When sick, their owners will sit up at night with and physic tho same as a hu man being. To properly advertise acri encourage this new business, we havl wri tten up the pedigrees of afew of the blooded dogs of Athens, and if any are omitted it is an oversight on our part that wc will be glad to remedy when our attention has been called to it. V e are indebted to Mr. A. A. McDufllafor much of this information, a .d as he was the first man to introduce into Athens the raising imported dogs for market, and is thorouehly posted on the subject, our report can be confidently relied on For non-sporting dogs Mr. A. A. Mc Duffie’s kennel stands at the head. He raises fine dogs for his pleasure and makes them pay their way as they go. A few years ago he desired a thorough bred New Foundland dog for a compan ion and protector for his little boy ai.d wrote to many Northern and \\ estern kennel men and found he could not pur chase a pure Newfoundland pupsii weeks old for less than $30 or $•»», or a St Bernard for $5° to $75, so the idea suggested itself if they could get such prices there he might make some money by raising them in this country where taxes, license, office rent and land is a matter of no consideration comparatively speaking, and from time to time he has bought fine stock, until now he has a full collection of the finest non-sporting dogs in the land, and is sending pups nil over Georgia at far less than half the price charged elsewhere. ' His kennel is headed by a magnificent St. Bernard female, “Flukli.” valued al $1,000, sired by champion Bonavard, (Kng. record 117:58) winner of forty pri zes in Kngland and imported from Swit zerland to America by K. Ii. Hearn, Pas saic, N. J. “Fluhli” was bought by Mr. McDuffie last Febr tary, and lie lias her now in New York' being mated to W. W. Tucker’s champion “Apollo.” 'J lie fin est smooth-coated St. Bernard in Ameri ca imported March 1880, ;from Switzer land and recognized as tin finest dog of his class there, and .^ince his arrival in America has wen first prize at the follow ing shows- Pittsburg, New Haven, New ark, Boston, Hartford.' besides all “spe cials.” Theon. (A. K. 11. 94) is the dam of “Fluhli” and was imported by Chc- quasset kennels. Her height 27!i indi es and weighs 110 pounds. From her first litter Mr Mel), expects to sell al; the dogs and keep the females, as no better stock can be gotten to raise from. Besides the above he has other fine St. Bernard’s rough coats, prominent among which is a male and female from ditferent mothers sired by champion Merchant Prince, (Kng. record 14742) imported by K. il. Moore, Melrose, Mass., cost in Kng land 800 lbs., stands 34 inches at the shoulders, and weighs 200 lbs. He is the largest dog in America, andseconl largest in the world. A dog by name Phinlimmon being the largest. He is now owned in Kngland and sold last year for 3,000 lbs. Phinlinimon's grand sire champion Bayard is the sire of Merchant Prince. Besides the above noble dogs (for a St Bernard dog is the noblest dog on earth) Mr. McD. has perhaps the largest pair of ( Newfoundlands ever brought South, and last and least he has an exquisite pair of English pugs, the cleanest and most af fectionate dog in the world.

Mandevillc owns a pure re triever. Messrs. Lucas * Richardson own a pretty Newfoundliml. Mr. Horace Uareliold owns a full blood sky terrier. In field dogs Dr. IL I. Hampton stands head. To Messrs. I.avcraek and Llewellyn are the breeders of English setters of to day chielly indebted for the degree of perfection to which this breed has reach- 1, they having bred them in absolute urity for OTer a hundred years. For years this breed has carried off a large majority of the prizes in tlie field con- ests. Dr. R. I. Hampton has a small kennel, combining the blood of nearly all of the most noted dogs of this breed, which have figured so prominently in the field trials since their inauguration. He has a remarkably fine specimen in Belle Boyd, whose sire, Gladstone, has sired more prize winners than any other dog in the world. Mr. Bryson, of Mem phis, Tcnn., refused $11X1X11 for him at 8% years old, the offer lieing made by Mr. P. LoriUard.ll.ille 1 J1 u, X its Claxton, a grand field dog, was sired bj a Guy Mannering (from the first pair of pure imported Laverocks owned in this country). Gjy ctai u< the addition distinction of being winner of 1st at the centennial bench show, and special for the best English setter in the show. Kate’s dam, Flash, was also imported by Mr. Raymond, of New York, the owner of Guy’s parents. This long line of blue blood makes Belle quite an aris tocrat, if pedigree goes for anything. Be. sides, her field performance does full justice to her breeding. Her half brother UUdstone'fi Boy, made the most bril liant derby record of any puppy that er lived. The D ictor has tw 1 of Belle’s puppies, now 16 months old, sired by Count Noble (owned by Mr. Wilson, of Pittsburg, Ps.) Some con sider Count quitq the equal of Gladstone, but if not, he certriniy holds him a good second as a sire of field dogs. These youngsters, in their last season’s work, gave ample evidence of the wonderful capabilities of this most -wonderful breed of dogs. They are entered in both der- byaofthe present year, and if they should fulfil the promise of youth, will doubtless he able to hold their own in any company. Their speed, style, endu rance and sagacity cannot be appreciated until seen. They possess 76 per cent of the blood ol the phenomenal Gath who made ihe .-rond -xt free-for-all- rec ord of any dog in the world. Belle lias again been mated with the Count, and, judg ng from the past, some thing very fine may be expected from the outcome. The Doctor’s kennel arrangements are very near perfection. The kennel is 9.20 feet, divided by a latti ced partitior, one room of which is used for invalids or pup pies, opening into a nursery yard—a small enclosure within the main kennel yard—which is a beautiful oak and hick- ory grove, covering nearly a half acre, l enc’.xi It/t w i/t 1 w ,-j fus* C feet high, that forms an effectual barrier to prowling orrabid dogs.
