welcome to the host of visitors who will
attend her lair on Nov. 1st and 6th.
The fair has "been extensively advertised,
and work in this direction will be kept
up until the grand formal opening, which
will tako place on Nov. 1st. Already a
number of horses are in training on our
traek, and some fine racing may be
looked for. To-day the committee pro
pose to set out for Beauvoir, to induce
Mr. Pavia to be present at our fair.
Thousands of people, including old sol
diers, will come from far and near to
bid welcome and do honor to this true
and tried friend of his country.
We can see no reason that Mr. Davis
could urgo for not visiting the people of
Athens, the home of his friend, the Hon.
Howell Cobb, and of the snrviving mem-
bora of his family, This is a rare oppor
tunity for Athens. Great responsibilities
reals upon the gentlemen who are to
bear the invitation from the people of
this city and section to Mr. Davis. They
are gentlemen who have won in other
mi—
bring Mr. Davis to our midst if possible.
The moment it is known definitely that
Mr. D." will come, thousands of posters
will be struck otr and distributed in
every nook and corner of Northeast
Georgia—indeed, all over the State. Suc
cess to the undertaking ! it will bo the
grandest* day Athens ever saw when
Jefferson Davis presses her soil.

Mr. Randall made the following re

ing of this day. 1 shall remember tins

We have a great country. We stand it
the bead of the civilized countries in ag
riculture and manufacturing. I am proud
to say that the South has sustained h»r
part well.
I said to-day to the representatives
the people of Georgia, that the Southern
orn people would promote the prosperi
ty of this great country. You arc now
coming to that condition where you will
introduce into your limits diversified in
terests so that you can live within your-

sending Georgia manganese to the grea -

sending pig iron to my own section, but
I do not regret this. 1 want to say that
we of the North do notin any degree ob

South, but we rather rejoice at it, an l
we believe it will redown to the interest
of the United States, and make
her the strongest nation of the
earth. (Applause.)

THE HALL.
Tlie interior of this log cabin Is finished
iu old oak, highly polished, and its walls
are a soft plaster colored gray. The ceil
ings are very high, snd there is an air of
( onerous roominess about the Whole. The
wii’.o front doors, which noiselessly swing
ion., hinges of brass, lead into a central
hall, M the back of which a flight of easy
stairs ascends by landings to the second
story. Looking out of these a high old
Dutch clock ticks out a welcome, and tho
big fire places in the great rooms at each
side seem to invite yon to enter. The
solid comforts of our forefathers lie all
sronnd yon. Rag carpet rugs in the pret
tiest of patterns are upon the polished
floors, old mahogany chairs and sofas in
vite yon to rest, and npon the table in the
ball is an old fashioned pitcher which is
always full of lemonade.
The haU is a parlor In itself, and- it
forms a good loafing place. The parlor is
separated from it by a wide folding door,
and its celling, like that of the other
rooms, is crossed with bars Of wood, from
which hang down skeins of bright colored
yarn, bunches of boneset, pennyroyal and
other herbs; ears of corn In white, gold
and red colored grains; strings of shriv
eled dried apples and strips of white
pnmpkln. These form a combination of
color which relieves the gray plaster, and
which makes the ceiling decoration much
prettier than if it were the work of the
modern frescoer or paper hanger.
At the foot of the stain stands a great
■inning wheel, and beside it one of the

by is a cahinet or buffet, filled with rare

LETTtR FROM MR- SKIFF.
Banner Watchman : When in New
Y ork, and near the old Trimly church on
Broadway,) ou and have an hour of space
time, improve il by looking through the
luirwng ground connected with saiu
church, it is a place where you can
think of the dead that died long ago;
and it is really mlcresiing to look at the
old ncapslonex aud monuments, with the
old-style, quaint inscriptions on them
that were placed there an hundred years
and more ago, and probably will forever
remain there as Iqngas time lasts, as tlie
grouud (so it is said) was deeded to the
Church for a burying place, and perpet
ually to remain so. Although there are
no new graves, and have not been for
years, near the entrance, on tho nortli
aide, you will find a grave that is visited
by more people, with iheono exception,
that of Gen. Grant, ibau any single grave
in and around New York, it is the spot
. where Charlotte Temple was laid to
quiet rest over a hundred yeareago. It
is oovered by a large brown atone slab
with the aimple insertion giving the
name of the beautiful but unfortunate
girl, whole pathetic story has bean fa
miliar for nearly a century at almost
every American fireside, as a victim to
the wiles and fascinations and heartless-
nets of a class, whose trimphed over the
weak has desolated homes m every town
and hamlet the whole land over. A book
that was published several years ago
giving a touching history of her life, has
these quotations on its title page:
She was her parents only joy,
They had but one, one darling child,
Her form was faultless and her mind un
tainted yet by art was just, noble,
humane and kind, and virtue warm
ed her heart;
But ah, the cruel spoiler citno.
The house in which it is said she died
is still standing on the north-west corner
of tho Bowery and l’ell street. That
which calls io many.to the grave of
Charlotte Temple is purely sympathetic;
that to Gen. Grant, {patriotism snd grati
tude. There is no improvement as yet
on the lot where Gen. Grant was bury-
ed. The spot remains about the same
as the first year of his burial, but in the
near future s mouument will be erected
to his memory that wiU do honor to him
and the cause he so nobly fought for, as
- a soldier, and be a’ mark of unlimited es

D”. Kdwin D. Newton, Athens, Gs.—
Dear Sir: Y ours of the 7th received to
day, and in reply 1 beg to say that I have
no seeds of any kind on hand. The Leg
islature has been so inimical to this de
partment for the past day or two that I
am not sure there will be any such thing
as the Department of Agriculture in exis
tence a great while. In addition it is
mnch too early to secure seed of the cur
rent year’s crop, and none other should
be sown. Remind me of it about Christ
mas, and I will then take pleasure in sup-
-plying you with as many as may be re
quired, if 1 am in condition to supply any
thing. Very truly,

Washington, Oct. 6.—No one hut a
millionaire senator could afford to own a
place like Senator Palmer’s Font Mill
form. Tbe 657 acres, more than a square
mile of land, lie within four miles of the
most fashionable part of tbe city of De
troit Woodward avsuno, which ranks
with Euclid arenas in Cleveland as one
of the two most beautiful residence streets
in the world, runs by this farm, and an
electric railway carries yon within a
short walk of the honse. The farm is
worth a fortune, aad another fortune has
been spent upon it. A quarter of a mil
lion dollars would not buy tbe land
alone at current pi ices, and Senator
Palmer's farm manager tells me that
$100,000 has been spent within the past
four years in its improvement. Much of
this land has been in Senator Palmer’s
family since the days when the Indians
owned it, but It was reserved for him to
tarn it from swamp and marah into as fine
a set of fields as ever grazed a Pereheron
horse or made milk producing gram for a
Jersey cow. The form now contains
twenty miles of tile under-draining, and
its many fields am joined with two miles
of iron water pipe, through which the
great windmill at tbe born sends a con
stantly flowing stream of well water.
There are drinking troughs in every field,
and no field is without Its clump of trees
to form a shady resting place for stock.
The stock there kept is sf the purest
blood, and Senator Palmer believes that in
this day of specialties no farmer should
try to keep more than one breed of One
cattle or horses. He has confined himself
to Jersey cows and Pereheron horses, and
be went to England and France to im
port the best animals he could
And as a basis for bis farm.
Tbe result is he stands at the head of
the Pereheron hone breeders of the United
States, and the French government has
given him a gold medal for owning the
first Pereherons iu the country. He Is
president ef tbe Pereheron Horse society
of the United States, and made a speech
to a convention of the breeders of the fin
est horses in France during his late for
eign tour. He has' sixty Pereheron
hones and seventy Jersey cows. Many of
bis hones are worth $1,000 and upward,
and some of the cows will run very high
into the hundred* His stallions are
named after the famed manhals of
France, and their weight is

Everything is wonderfully clean too,
snd the floor back of the cow stalls would
not soil a cambric handkerchief. The
ground floor is as well lighted as a parlor,
and its woodwork Is of yellow pine fin
ished in olL It contains stalls for eighty
cows, besides close stalls for bulls and box
stalls for calves and eowa with calves.
The stock is of the best in tbe world,
"and though,” as tbe senator’s manager
says, “if tbe batter sold for $1 a pound it
would then cost only about $1 a pound
more than tbs proceeds toprodaee It,” it

record is daily and weekly kept of the
amount of milk produced by each cow.
In the stables rules are pasted up sa to

goes off like clockwork, and the score of

I shall not soon forget my ride with
Senator Palmer through ihe woods and
over his fields. We rode for several miles
this way through field and forest, and
there are nine miles of drives upon the
farm. At one place we found men dig
ging a great pond, six feet deep and
many square feet in area, to catch the
water and form a drinking and bathing
place for tbe stock. At another great
loads of boards were being honied on
some new building, and in a wide lane a
scientific looking man was blowing out
stumps wtth dynamite and an electric bat
tery. He would bore a hole under tbe
stamp, pat in about a pound ef dynamite,
connect the battery with it and presto!
the stamp would fly np into the air with
a loud report. He took ont about ten
stomps to the hour and seldom wasted a
charge. Tbe senator looked calmly on at
a distance and leisurely puffed his cigar.
He was apparently satisfied with the way
things were going on, and I imagine he

the delights of agriculture to holding the
plow or swinging the scythe himself.

what she wonld take for the lot She
was standing behind Senator Palmer, and
telegraphed her son on her fingers, so
that the senator coaid not see, a ques
tion as to how mnch she ought to ask.
She pntnp five and then ten Ungers, but
her boy did not know whether the meant
$10 or tea cents. Finally telling me that
there were ‘lots of relickcrs’around after
old things now, she said we conld have
all we wanted for $10. 1 told her wa
wonld give her $25 if she wonld box np

the parlor there te another clock which
ticked for years in Senator Palmer’s
Grandfather WltharcU’a family, and which
ticks just as solemnly now, as its silver
foco looks down npon Palmer’s father’s
writing desk, hte mother's work table
and hte grandfather’s shaving mirror,
which are piled np beneath it The in

"Purchased by James Witherell In

They are not used except when there 1s a
house full of guests, which is, by the way,
very often, for Senator palmer is the
prince of good fellows, and It te a part of
hte religion to love hte fellow man.- He
believes, with Marcus Aurelius, that man’s
social duties are among hte greatest on:s,
and he Is happy In having his friends visit
him. He has np stairs a number of large
chambers, either four or five, and these
are tarnished in this same comfortable:
pioneer style. The linen looks as thongh

Is to do as you please, to Bleep as long os
you wish, and go to breakfast when yon
choose. There are no early hours in the
log cabin, and its philosophy is to take
life easy and to enjoy nature with all
modern conveniences. There is no dress
parade, as at Abe Hewitt’s country home,
. “It was from a painting. I was mak
ing a study of tbs horse when I saw Rosa
Boobnr'i “Horst Fair,
ireatly struck by tbe action and looka of

were Pereherons. I afterward saw the
hones In Parts, Francs, where they were

were worth an ordinary price; now the
American demand lor them baa ran their'
price in Francs from $300 np to $1,000,
and the omnibus men of Parte have had

"Then the Pereheron horse te not a

“No,” replied Senator Palmer; “the
Norman te coarser, flower, heavier and
lew enduring. The Pereheron horse te

horses were imported, and between Janu

to America, and who now imports hun
dreds of thousands ot dollars' worth
yearly. I bought my first horses from
Dnnham, and then went to France myself
and Imported others.”
Io company wtth the senator I walked
through bis bams, took a look at hte cow
stable, rode over the form and dined with
Mm at tbe old form bouse.
Tbe colony of bams would make an
ordinary farmer’* eyes bulge ont with
wonder. Tbe buildings alone have cost
more than $15,000. There are 'acres of
yards and bnildincs, and as mnch care
almost te taken or the comfort of the stock
as would be taken were they so many
babies iu their swaddling clothes. The
ventilation of the horses’ stables 1s perfect,
and so arranged that a draft cannot strike
tho horse nor the light shine in hte eyes.
There an stalls tor about seventy horses.
Each horse has hte own stall on which 1a
hte name Ur printed letters, and the his
tory of each steed 1s kept In a sort ofa
hone book or equestrian record.
The senator’s cow stables would dwarf

A CORRECTION.
President Barrow Corrects an Evident
, taka In the Banner-Watchman.
Lula, Ga., OcL 12, 1887.—Editors
Banner-Watchman: In yonr paper of
this morning appears an article beaded
“A Good Scheme,” in which it is stated
that the schedules of the Northeastern
Railroad have been changed so that the
Air-Line track, between Lata and Cor-
ilia, is no longer used, but that the
Northeastern is still charged $5,000 a
year for the use of the track. It is true
that the schedules have been changed so
that this track is no longer need, but it
is not trae that the Northeastern is
charged anything for tbo nse of it since
tbe change. It was to save this veryex-
pense, along with others, and at the same
time afford better fscilitieA to the public,
that this change was made. It is sur
prising that such a statement should be
made iu your paper when your reporter
had the mesas of ascertaining the 'truth
right at your door. Respectfully,
Pope Barrow.

Walton News, is in town, in the interest
of his paper. The News hss a .sworn
circulation of 1,000 in one of the best
sections, tributary to Athens. Now that
our city is endeavoring tffextend her ter

According to the Griffin News, Walker,
Tom Woolfolk’s lawyer, is but a third-
rate counsel, who recently made a fool
of himself by jumping np in court and
moving to adjourn, because the opposing
counsel had raised questions beyond his
brain and research, and he wanted time
to prepare to meet them. We have never
noted an exactly similar case. So far as
his legtl adviser is concerned, Tom hss
our sympathy. He bad better prepare to
die. The blundering of such a lawyer
will supply what tbe testimony may lack.
