The nanesof Heaara George Hodg

The question of securing a brass band

band of Jug Tavern to furnish music for
tbe next exhib tion.
It baa been dedd< d by the board that
at tbeir next meeting a vice-president
shall be elected from each of tbs coun
ties of Northeast Georgia. This will
necessarily make the fair of more inter
est to the people, besides having a man
in all tbe counties who will see that bis

Tbe board recommended that the next
fair be well advertised, and that posters
be placed immediately io all the public
places in Northeast Georgia.
The meeting was abounding in enthu
siasm, and every member of the board is
determined that the next exhibition shall
le the biggest thing ever given in North

-‘You feel the shake Tuesday night?*
asked a gentleman of the Bashes*
Watchman yesterday.
“No; what shake?” was the reply.
“Why tbe earthquake.”
“We felt a very perceptible shock
about half past nine o'clock, and it was
just as severe as the second shock which
occurred two years sgo; all my neigh
bors felt it, and I have seen several per
sons this morning who said it was a
first-class “quake.”
The shock was most severe in the
neighborhood of North Athens, though
it was very perceptible in Gobbham.
It was preceded by a roaring noise,
which many persons mistook lor street
cars.
IT MUST BE SO.
Crawford, Ga n 8ept. 18. — A slight
earthquake shock was felt here last
night between nine and ten o'clock. It
was very light and preceded a roaring
noise like the running of a hand car.
Antioch, Ga., Sept 18.—Some of our

It is mighty seldom that Athena gets
left, but she is sat down on now, sure.
Yesterday Post Office Inspector
Arrington arrived from Washington
city to look after the gross receipts of
the Athen’a office, and aa) if we shou d
have the much needed, and hard fought
for free delivery. After a thorough in
vestigation of the books, Mr. Arring
ton enme out on the street, when he
was extensively interviewed bycitiaens,
merchants, lawyera, doctors and last bat
not least newspaper representatives.
“There has been n very sudden in
crease in the sale of stamps at the post-
office,” said the Inspector to a gentle
man, “and I am afraid moat too sudden
to bo natural.”
You see, if the government should
give Athens the delivery and at tho ex
piration of the next fiscal year, tbe gross
receipts should not exceed $10,000 then
the delivery would be withdrawn, but 1
think candidly that by next year the
“natural” receipts will reach that
amount. Then of course you will be en
titled to It.”
Well,” said a gentleman, “if you,
think it will r-ach $10,0U0 by next year
and the receipts for this year are $10,-
000 then why can’t we get it anyhow?”
'-Simply because the Government
won’t take the risk,” said Mr. Arring-
on.
“We are having the census of the city
taken,” remarked one of the crowd, and
if it shows 10,000 inhabitants won’t we
be entitled to the system, then?”
“Yes,” replied the Inspector, “you
see the free delivery routine is given on
two things, viz: The populstion and
the gross receipts of the post-office.
Now if your city census, exceeds 10,-
000 inhabitants, and the government is
satisfied that it is a fair count, then
taking into consideration your gross re
ceipts you could get the delivery, or, on
the other hand, if next year your gross
receipts do not reach the required
amount, but your population goes way
over 10,000 inhabitants you will also be
entitled to the free delivery.”
“WeH,now,Mr.Arringtou” said a law
yer, “did’nt Rome,G»., get her free de
livery, by rushing the sale of stamps?’
“1 don’t know anythiDg about Rome.
Iwas’ntsent there, but it strike* me
you all want the free delivery more
because Borne haa it than anything
else. 1’U tell you one thing, your town
is certainly well numbered, there’s
no mistake about that.”
Mr. Arrington seems to be a most
refined gentleman, and said he would do
all for Athena he could. He was driven
over the city yestrrdsy by Msyor Hodg
son, snd expressed himself as being very
much pleased with Athens. He left on
the five o’clock North Eastern train for
Washington where he goes to make a
report to the department.

■piracy to aasasssinato the entire Bui-
gvian cabinet, but that the mao, Kisael-

It* Record and It* Influence for Good.
Whon the present Young Mon’s
Christian Association was organized on
the ruins of one or two similar organiza
tions which had preceded it, the
movement was looked upon as an ex
periment most likely to meet with fail,
are, bat a few determined young men
appreciating the necessity of such an
organization, went heartily to work, des
pite the obstacles in their way, and fit
ted up the present comfortable rooms
which the Association now occupies.
Since ita organization the attendance
upon ita rooms, with the meagre privil
edges that are afforded, has been all
that could have been expected by the
most sanguine. The rooms have been
freely used by the young
of the University
and tbe city. The devotional meetings
have been well attended, and the Asso
ciation has never asked anythirg at the
hands of our peoole directly, which waa
not responded to. The present quarters,
of the Association and the patronage be
stowed upon it conclusively show the
necessity of a more attractive and com
plete house for the elevation of the young
men of the city. This the Association
will surely have in the near future,when
ita building will be completed. It would
bo a revelation to numbers of our own
people were they to know the number
of visitors to these rooms in the course
of a year. These statistics are kept by
the secretary and are at the disposal of
any who are interested.
Quite an amount of money has been
spent in Charity by the Association
and while it is not, as an organization, a
charitable institution, its members are
ever ready to alleviate distress and suf
foring, whenever it may be fonnd in our
midst. Our citizens should foster and
encourage this organization, as it is found
ed upon principals that are vital to all
classes of our community, and has for
its object the purity and elevation of the
most important element among us, which
ia our young men.
The association needs your endorse'
ment and encouragement as much as i
does your means to enable it to succeed
in the great object it haa undertaken,
Aq the Y. M. C. A. is now an established
institution of our city, let all of oor peo
ple extend to it that encouragement
which ita purposes merit
Visitors.
