Oliver Ames has been nomi nated by the Republicans for Gov ernor of Massachusetts. The geyser crusts from Summer ville fail to disclose the slightest show of sulphur. The last combination against Mr. Blaine is said to have been formed by Conkling and Edmunds. The cold wave was ordered down from Daktta. It was probably an offshoot of the Democratic Conven tion. The Supreme Court of Virginia has declined a rehearing in the Cluveuius case. The hustings court must now fix the time for the dea-h penalty. The State Fair opens in Macon Oct. 15th and will continue for two weeks. It will be a creditable and profitable exhibition and the peo ple from this section of Georgia should be represented. The Democratic Executive Com mittee in Oglethorpe ordered a pri mary election for county officers. This is a wise and a wholesome ac tion. Organization should be con tinued in all these contests. The Knights of Labor in the West, and more particularly in St. Louis, have decided that strikes— like the boycott—must go, and that such should no longer he recognized as a necessity in the Order. QR*v. Sam Jones, it is said, will enter journalism. His secretary has purchased the Cartersville Courant, which seems to mean that where people are truly unrepentant the pen is mightier than the pulpit. The declaration of the Knights of Labor that the members of that or der, regardless of race or creed, are on the same footing, is likely to be put to a test during the session of the general assembly which con venes in Richmond next month. Colored delegates cannot be accom modated at the hotels and some of the district delegates will camp out in tents. It is rumored that Gen. Young will resign the consulship to St. Petersburg. The gallant Georgian probably seeks a sunnier clime. 1 Frank Hurd was swilt to de clare, in accepting the nomination to Congress, that taxation beyond the needs of economical govern ment, was legalized robbery Hurd is not far from the truth. The doubtful States, viz,: New York, New Jersey and Connecti cut have given their tariff platforms a protective setting. Determined efforts are made to elect Democratic Senators to succeed Messrs. Sewell, Miller and Haw ley. A straightout campaign on revenue reform would win in the long run. The old ticket in Chatham is likely to wm against the Knights of La bor combination. Messrs. Gorden, Reilky,and Hartridge, will be supported by .many Democrats. It is difficult to see how this can be done in good faith. The Kn ights of Labor ticket was nominated in a Democratic mass meeting with out bolt or united protest. As the Knights captured the primary meeting they are entitled tothe fruits of party victory this time. The financial showing for Clarke County this morning is an encour- aging one. It wives at a glance the current expenses of the'County and shows a decreased levy of tax- for the next year. A saving of 9i.qo per thousand is ?. good reduction for one year and shows an econom ical administration of public affairs. No county has a finer set of pub lic officers than Clarke, and the rec ord of their management of public affairs is a substantial testimony to their honesty and fidelity. In accepting the nomination to Cougress Mr. Frank Hurd said he wxs in favor ot a revenue sufficient to pay tfie expenses of the govern ment economically administered, and that the collection of more rev enue than this was legalized rob- The war tax must go.

The dockets of the Justices of the Peace and Notaries Public we find correct. We recommend that the Ordi nary have the base of the court house wall plastered and painted a lead color on the outside, to preserve the wall and that the plastering about the windows on the outside t e repaired where it is off, and that the windows have lights put in where they are broken or out, and that the wood work inside and out side be repainted and the doors grained an oak or walnut color, end that the inside walls be kalsomined. We find that the roof on the jail leaks badly and recommend that the roof be repaired. We recommend that the privy be icmoved to a move private place. We find eight inmates in the pau per house, and find that they have been well ted and quartered. We recommend that the Ordina ry have a suitable house built in side of the stockade to keep unruly and unmanageable idiots in, and so they can be kept separate. The Ordinary to use his discretion as to the size and structure of the house Also recommend that the Ordi nary have floor of the court room carpeted. Also, that there be stone steps put at the doois on the north and west sides of the court house. We olso recommend that the Or dinary have four red elm trees plant ed on the west side of the court house to shade the windows. We recommeud that George A. Pethel and wife be placed in the Pau pers' home. Also, that Malissa House be sent to the Pauper’s Home, and that the Ordinary take charge of her land and rent or lease it, and apply the proceeds of the land to her support. We recommend that the Ordi nary have bridges built across the following streams, to-wit: One across the Grove River on the road leading from T. C. Chandlers to Gainesville, as the old one is unsafe. One across Little’s Creek, on the road leading from Nail’s Creek church to Harmony Grove, at the old Carlton Mill place near W. S. Mize’s. One across Nancytown Creek on the road leading from Toc- coa to Homer; just below Mr. A P. Wofford’s Mill. > We also recommend that the bridge across Middle River, near Mr. Kcisler’s (the same being bridge on the line of Franklin and Banks counties, and that part of the bridge on the Franklin side bein kept up by Franklin county), wc recommend that the part in Banks county be kept up by Banks county and pot by the road hands as here tofore. We also recommend that the Or dinary have the road at the north end of the bridge across Grove River, on the road leading from Homer to Haiir.ony Grove, near Mr. T. C. Chandler’s, put in good order, by filling up and raising the roadbed so as to secure what work that has already been done, and that the Ordinary have said work done as cheap as possible, and r.ot to ex pend more than one hundred dol lars on it. We have examined into the con dition of tne public roads of the county, ana with a tew exceptions fled them in a better cond tion than heretofore. We recommend that the Ordina ry have mile posts sawed out of good durable oak timber 2x6 five feet long and havo them painted and lettered and have the overseers on all the roads leading directly to Homer to post the louls. As the boundary line between this ’county and Jackson has not been definitely located, we recommend that the Ordinary ot this county, together with the Ordinary of Jack son county proceed to establish the disputed line between the counties according to (tee act of 1S70, and would set the nth day of October next as the time to run and estab lish said line, and that Ordinary Hill is requested to correspond with the Ordinary of Jackson county in regard to this recommendation. We recommend that the Ordinary pay Mrs. Sarah Owen five dollars per month, as compensation for keeping her son, who is blind, deaf and dumb, as we are satisfied that it will be cheaper to the county than to send him to the Pauper’s Farm, as his condition is such that it would require the constant attendance of some one to look after him. We recommend that the Oi dinary he paid 815.00 dollars for services rendered the county since last term of Couat. Also, that the Clerk be paid 816.05 for services rendered since last term. We have examined the Tax Re ceiver’s Digest, and find it neat and correct in every particular, reflect ing credit on that elfecient officer. We find that the people generally have given in their property at its marketable value, showing an crease over last year’s valuation. Wc reccommcnd that William J. Crow be appointed Notary Public in the 1206th district in the place of E. W. Pool deceased. Also that Geo. W. Smith be appointed Nota ry Public in the 371st district in the place of I. W. Alexander who has tesigned. *We recommend thatP. M. Ed wards Esq. have the use of the Grand Jujy room hy complying with the proposition made to tbis body and to to the OrJinary. We recommend that the per diem of the Jurors and Bailiffs be the same as heietofore, that is 81.50 per day. We recommend that the Clerk of this body be paid 85,00 for ser vices rendered as Clerk. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge N. L. Hutchins, we desire thus to publicly express our appre ciation of the able and impartial manner in which he has lever pre sided at our courts. And are grat ified to know that there will be no opposition to his 1 e-election to this high and responsible position. Also, to E. T. Brown, Solicitor General, we return our thanks for his attention to this body, and fOT the able manner in which he has discharged his duty. Also to Jno. A.

How an AthenaCompany has Succeeded in Securing a Grand Trunk Line From East to West. With Headquartees in Our city —No Chance for “Doubting Thomases,’ The Materiel it In Hand and the Facta are Open to Public Investigation. “Have you heard of it?” This was the question asked us by an Athens gentleman yesterday. “Heard of what?” was our reply. “Of the biggest thing for the country at large the world has ever known, with Athens as its head quarters.” ‘Explain thyself. Athens has so many stupendous schemes in sight we know not of which you speak. Have we secured the Technologi- enl school? Are we to get the M. & A., the G. M., the M. E; & A. and dozen other railroads? Is Wig gins to establish a branch office in our citv, from which predictions will go forth of international distur bances which never disturb?” “Don’t mention such childish schemes in this connection.” “Then throw off thy garb of mys tery and give to the world the par ticulars of this monster enterprise.” ‘ Most willingly. Something over twelve months ago a company was formed here, in a quiet way, fer the purpose of submitting tothe world a thing, the need of which has long been felt, the want ne’er been sup plied before. To a fastidious and exacting public was offered the “Certain Catarrh Cure the best remedy ever conceived by the inge nuity of man, or that the bounteous hand of nature has rendered pos sible.” “Can that broad claim be well es tablished?” “Read these and say what think you ?” We weic handed a package of certificates from prominent persons whose locations form a COMPLETE TRUNK LINE OF TESTI MONY, extending from the Atlantic to the P acific, from the British ^Pos sessions tothe land of the Greasers. Already, from the great number given us and the vast extent of ter ritory covered, we felt almost per suaded. The perusal of a few con vinced us. We looked up. “Do they support the claim?” “In truth they do, and more,” we answered. •“What facts do they establish?” “Far more than we can tell. They state in emphatic terms of appre ciation that for catarr it is a QUICK, CERTAIN AND PERMANENT. CURE; that in sorcthroat and kindred trou bles ifs relief is instantaneous; its cure speedy and complete; that for coughs, bronchitis, etc.Jt is unequal ed; that in case of cold in head it clears the passages and removes that full and disagreeable feeling in less time generally, than it takes to tell it; in short they pronounce the Cer tain Catarrh Cure perfection 1 remedy for diseases it is recom mended by its propric tors to cure.” “That states the case as we sec it, You will notice, too, thate very one of those certificates bears the genu ine signature of the giver, and that they arcpublished without exagger ation or alteration. We have many certificates which have never yet been made public. It is a fine ton ic and strengthener and especially valuable for persons advanced in years. Many of those testimoni als speak of the remarkable restora tion of lost or impaired hearing, taste and smell. This has been done in cases of extreme old age.” “Will these cure* be perma nent?” “We know of cases cured thirty, five years ago, and there never has been a returning symptom. Isn’t that a sufficient test?” “Verily. How has the remedy been received by the medical Fra ternity?” “Some physicians are prejudiced against proprietary medicines, but most ot them recognize and use a good remedy. Many prescribe “Certain Catarrh Cure” for their patients, which is one of its strong est endorsements.” “How are your sales?” “They actually increased, pend ing the result of the great earth quake prediction, aud there are ev idences of a GENUINE BOOM. We are shipping it throughout the whole country.” YVe gained much information during the above conversation. About a year ago we stat'd our confidence in the “Certain Catarrh Cure,” and predicted its great merits would induce a large de mand for it every where. The lapse ol time since our formrr arti cle has added to our confidece* We believe no preparation has ever met with such strong and univer sal endorsement as has been accor ded this,and it is with pride that we can refer to the 3 C. Co. and its business as one one of the most important enterprises of our grow- city. A TRANQUIL DAY. • « The Predicted Disturbance. That Did *01 Disturb, Yesterday* It didn’t shake. Nobody thinks less of Wiggins. YVe couldn’t Yesterday was the most beautifal day ofautnmn. The air was cooler, with something of the breath of October, and the sky was a deeper blue, with an occa sional white pulp floating before it Those who have been hearing quakes continued to feel them—others forgot the great impending doom and went about feeling nothing but prospects of a great fall trade. Charleston fell a severe earthquake early Tuesday afternoon, which did some damage to the custom house entrance. A shock is repOTted from Lancaster, Pa. The Constitution publishes a letter from E. Stone YViggins declaring that the telegram to the New York Herald thatajdestractive earthquake would occur on the 30th parallel, on the 29th, 11 a fab rication by its correspondent. The Her ald itself originated the scare and then attacks Wiggins in its editorial columns. YVo have no fight to make on this false prophet. YVe glory in his error. To the Public: At the battle of Fisher’s Hill, Valley of Virginia, our froops were routed and scatter ed into the mountains. Many days elapsed before we were gath ered together again. The boys brought enrapturing accounts of the valley over the mountains —a vale that flowed with milk and honey. This naturally demoralized men that were dispirited from de feat. and living on parched corn, so that it was no uncommon thing for the Orderly Sergeant to repoit for days together at morning roll call a half-dozen men absent without leave. The cry would then be raised “gone over the mountains,” by the boys,’ returning from roll- call. In two or three days these absentees would return and add to our discontentment and open de moralization by giving glowing ac counts of their trip. Of course these men were placed under arrest and detained for a few days unt 1 t so happened that more than half my own company were in the guard-house, including two non commissioned officers. I was among the number, having been persuaded by two older boys than myself to make the trip. I was fifteen years old at that time. I will also add that I was further persuaded by a very empty stom- ache. Capt. D. C. Oliver and Prof. I. G. Hudson can give bounti ful information as to the demorali zation of that particular time. This is what Mr. Russell calls desertion. This is the last dying stiuggle that my illustrious opponent makes as he is about to be routed trom his last ditch. My fellow-citizens must either enroll me as an honest man or a fool, to voluntarily enter the arena to combat with an as sailant whom I know, from his de claration two years ago, and from assertions made to his friends since that time, had concealed in his cowardly bosom a dagger poisoned which he proposed to use in the last struggle with me. As an hon est man, conscious of my own integ rity, I have forced him to draw his dagger, and now propose to hurl it with him to the ground. I rejoice that the long sought for opportuni ty has presented itself. This modern Demosthenes, with Cicero’s invective power has at last turned loose upon me the reflec tor of his own fanciful imagination. YVhere are his testimonials to prove the assertion he makes? I pity the weakness of a man who manifests his ignorance to so great a degree as to think he can impose upon the credulty of an intelligent people by making a charge without proof to substantiate. Until he can pro duce that proof he stands before the people as ah ignoramus of the first water. • 1 will remind Mr. Russell that there is a difference, though he has not yet learned to appreciate it, between the privileges of an open, honorable antagonist, and that of a midnight assassin who prowls around when an honest world is wrapt in honest repose, with no witness to his nefarious deed save the shining stars and the eye of an avenging GodT He has attempted to use the dag ger and dark lantern upon me, leel- ing secure himself so long as he was hidden in the darkness behind it; but I now rise in conscious in nocence and 'propose to dash the murderous instruments from his poltroonish hands and flood the minds of the people With the light that radiates from the lamp of truth so that all can see the would-be as sassin skulk backwards into the outside darkness beyond. May God pity a man who is so hard-pressed as to seek to falsely de fame the character of a soldier- boy (15 years old) who was endur ing hardships and presenting him self a target for the bullet of an en emy seeking to overrun our own sunny land. Laying bare his boV ish breast to the missiles of death, and for what! To keep a vandal horde from overrunning the home of Mr. Russell's mother and her children, while his would-be de tamer was enjoying the pastime of playing in the branch and blowing tin whistles. Below are the certificates. I will yet produce Gen. Gordon’s certificate, if my fellow-citizens think it necessary. Geo. T. Murrell. Oxford, Ga.—Having known Mr. George T. Murrell from his earliest boyhood, and having been intimately associated with him as messmate and soldier in the army, we sincerely declare our convic tions, based upon intimate knowl edge of his army experience, that there is no event or transaction con nected thereunto to which crimi nality can attach. As to the one episode of his be ing absent without leave, it is scarcely necessary to refer to so trivial a circumstance—that being fhe offshoot of general demoraliza tion among the troops about that time, and the thoughtless act of a thoughtless boy. For this he was never tried, but after being detain ed for a few days he was remanded back to his company with others, without rebuke or reprimand. As to his subsequent career, he stands without reproach as a sol dier and citizen. [Signed.] F. M. Means, W. YV. Evans. This is to certify that Mr. George T. Murrell was a member of my companygduring the late War be tween the States. I was orderly sergeant ot the company ami knew the standing of every man in the company. I do not hesitate to say that Mr. George T. Murrell was faithful in the discharge of all the duties required of a good soldier. According to my recollection he was absent one time, only once, without leave This was no un common thing during that particu lar time, but was very common among the boys, as they were all more or less demoralized to some extent. At that time nor ever since,have I entertain any doubts as to his being a good and faithful sol dier. He never was tried for any offense, and certainly not for this above mentioned. According, to my recollection he was under guard a short time, as was the case with many others, and soon began bis duties again, and was true and faithful ever afterward till he and I mere captured and sent to prison, from which place be and I came home at the surrender ot the army. His being put under restraint with the others was to make the boys stay in the camps and keep them from running about without passes. - Andrew Garner, Orderly Serg’t Co, C. Twefth Ga. Battalion. J State of Georgia, Treasury Department, Atlanta. Dear George:—I have heard, with sur- prise;.that your record as a soldier has been attacked, and if a testi mony from me will serve yon in any way to confute such a false and diabolical charge, you can use it in public or private as you may see proper. The rumor is a lie out of whole cloth, and I can get for you the testimony of your officers, and especially General Gordon, tbrt you were a good soldier, doing your duty in the camp and on the battle field—as a private thinking only of the justice ot the cause for which you were fighting—and en during-hardships. Yours truly, R. U. Hardeman. ■ qV " 0 State of Georgia^ Treasury Department, Atlanta, Georgia, September 30th,i886.-Dear George: Gen. Gordon is absent from city.

Harmony Grove, Sept. 29th Cotton is beginning to come in pretty lively. The receipts to date are about 150 bales. The merchants are paying lair prices and will get their share. The case of Constable Lord and Simpkins is waxing warmer. The lalt-r was arrested on a warrant this morning charging him with resisting legal process. Our people are all quiet over YViggins’ prophecy in regard to the earthquake to day. In fact, busi ness is going along as usual. Nebo. ATHENS WEEKLY MARKET. The first active’ business week which suggests fall trade in all its vigor and variety has been the ot*e which closes to-night. The cotton receipts have been full—amounting to 2,100 bales for the week, and country wagons with the staple and with produce have been plentiful. Cotton is sold promptly upon ar rival and has brought fair prices. The weather has been fine for picking, but there is great need of rain. Dry weather has cut short the top crop, it is feared, and if continued, will bring more serious mischief. Still the yield will be large and the demand for produce and provisions from the YVest has continued steady. The theory of smokehouses in-the YVest and gin houses in the South is hardening into accepted and logical practice. Meats and grain have been active and unsettled all the week. Bacon lias ruled generally higher, corn re maining unsettled and wheat, which broke early in the week, stiffened by warlike cables from abroad. Yesterday there was especially an active inquiry for cotton. Both city compresses are running, and there were strong orders for lots. The feeling prevails that there is very little good cotton left over in last year’s stock, and that shippers and spinners are anxious to get the cream of this crop, free from stain and storms. YVe give below the ruling quotations: Harmony Grove, Sept 30.— [Special.] Your correspondent lelt here last Monday morning • for the lively little town of Carneeville, where the superior court of Frank lin county had that day convened. After a long and dusty journey, we at length arrived at our destination and immediately registered at the “hotel de Aderhold.” At the court house we found His Honor Judge N. L. Hutchins upon the bench, presiding with his usual grace and dignity. Solicitor Gen eral E. T. Brown was also on band, giving atl his time and attention to the state’s business. The attention of the cojrt was given to the civil docket until YVednesday evening, r nd several important cases were disposed of. The criminal docket will be taken up this morning, and will demand the attention of the court until about the middle of next week, at which time court will probably adjourn. In addition to the local bar, we noticed the following visiting attor neys present: Hon. H. H. Carlton, Ex-Judge Alex S. Erwin, Col. Geo. Dudley Thomas and Solicitor Gen eral fcl T. Brown, of Athens; Hon. Hoke Smith and Col. Thomas, of Atlanta; Hon. Jon. A. Owens and M. S. Smith, of Toccoa;Co'. How ard Thompson, of Ga'nesville; Hon. YVm. I. Pike, of Jefferson; Col. Jno. J. Strickland, of Danielsville, and Col. R. L. J. Smith, of Harmony Grove. Hon. H. H. Carlton, the Demo cratic nominee of the 8th district, addressed the citizens of Franklin county last Tuesday upon the living issues of the day. The court house was crowded to hear this able ora tor, and right well did he acquit himself. We venture the predic tion that tlie Eighth district has had few representatives who were more competent or faithful than the gal lant Capt. Carlton will be. During our visit to Carnesville, we had the pleasure of meeting Miss Ellen J. Dortch, the charming editress of the Carnesville Register. Forcitite, clear-headed, w ith a won derful facility of exoression, and witty withal, Miss Dortch reflects great honor upon the press, and is destined soon to reach the highest rojnd in the journalistic ladder of fame. Miss Dortch has just creased the size of the Register to a large, eight-page paper, and it is now one of the spiciest, newsiest and best weqkly papers printed in Northeast Georgia. Long may the Register and its charming editress live and prosper. COTTON MARKET. OFFICE BANNER WATCHMAN. Atuin, Oct. 2,1886.
