ATHENS
CONNECTED AT LASTIBY RAIL AND
CROSS-TIE.
Tbe Covington £ Macon Pat on
rer Train—Its First Arrival Yesterday—
IVhat Parties say Who Bare Been. Or. r
the Line.
The Covington & Macon is here.
This fact was realised on the lOih by
those who saw tbe omnibuses, wagons,
and Mr. White with his mail wagon,
stationed at the cemetery crossing wait*
ing for the first arrival of the noon pas
senger train. Promptly on time the
whistle was heard, and in a few minutes
a first doss passenger train, consisting
of a coal burner, a baggage and two pas
senger cars, came in view. On board
were a number of passengers, among
whom were Messrs. E. C. Machen, of
Macon, J. H. Swell son, of New York,
0. O, Craig, A. J. McElvoy, Judge Geo.
C. Thomas, Mrs. Gould and other prom
inent officials and stockholders of the
road. Tbe train stayed at .the crossing
only half an hour, when it returned to
to Mason. As baa been stated before in'
these columns, tbe John A. Stevens
Company, left on Sunday morning via
the C. Sc M, for Macon. There were
also on board several citizens, all of
whom went down as the guests of Col.
Roberts. As there were no passenger
coaches on this end of the line, the party
were made comfortable on a flat car,
and carried flying ever the road to Mad
ison, where close connection was made
with the regular passenger train bound
for Macon. Among the citizens who
went over the line were, Messrs. J. H.
Dorsey. Weldon Price, G. C. Thomas,
and others. They returned very much
pleased with their trip and delighted with
every part of the 0. * M. In speaking
of the ride Mr* John J’, Stevens said
‘“The road runs as smooth as it porsibly
could, and if you gentlemen had not
told me I was on a new road, I would
never have known the difference.” The
party were caught in a light shower, but
it only lasted a short time, and no one
jot very wet.
The run was made from Athens to
Madison, including five stops in one
hour and ten minutes. A faster run
could have easily been made, but the
pleasure of tbe party who were exposed
to the wind tvaS taken into considera
tion. The StevenB party arrived
safely in Macon, and weTe loud in their
praise of Col. Roberts for bis kindness
in bringing them over the road as bis
guests.
From now until fart -er notice the
schedule as found in another column,
will he observed by the road.
The mails will be sent through by this
line commencing on the 22d inst.
DEATH IN CRAWFORD.
Mr. Will Murrab, who has been very
ill at Crawford for the last few weeks,
died Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. Mr.
Murrah was in the painting business
with Mr. John L. Arnold, of this city,
and was taken sick while working near
Lexington. He had every attention
from a skillful physician, but the ravages
of typhoid fever soon rendered his con
dition hopeless.
Mr. Murrah came to Athens about a
year ago, and being a temperate and
straight forward young man he m»de
many warm friends. His remains passed
through the city yesterday, accompanied
by his mother, who,has been at bis b id-
side for the past two weeks,on their way
to Anderson, S. C., his old home.
ATHENS’ FINE POULTRY-
Mr. Frank Rhodes, of this city, had a
fine display of ten Wyandotte chickens
at the Augusta Exposition. He has been
notified that they have taken first and
second prizes. Visitors to the Exposi
tion state that the strongest competi
tion was among the Wyandotte exhibi
tors. Mr. Rhodes’ poultry was greatly
admired, and several pair were pu>—
chased by breeders from different parts
of the State.
NEW STEAMER.
The Old Reliable and her eastern con
nections. CapL Bernard informs ns that
another splendid steamer has been added
to the number plying between Charles

The number of new industrial enter
prises organized in the South during the
past week, as shown by special reports
to the Manufacturers’ Record, has been
so large that it is difficult to give even
a summary of the most important ones
The list extends over almost the whole
range of human industry, embracing pig

Colorado bids fair to rival Pennsyl
vania as an oil state. In the valley of
the Arkansas,near Pueplo, about twenty
wells have been bored, and the yield is
1.000 barrels a day. The oil is gn
excellent in quality, and. wbat is better,
has an agreeable smell. There are no
gushing wells as yet. but the average
flowsur passes what other states have
aflorded.
Mrs. Jas. G. Blaine, Jr., told a re
porter in Now York on Monday last that
she had made up her mind to go on the
strge. When asked why she had taken
this course, she replied: “Because I am
forced to it. My affairs are well known
and have been discussed in all the pa
pers. I feet that all consideratien which
might owe is at an end, and I am de
pendant entirely upon myself. There
fore I take the step.” She says that she
will prosecute her suit against the Blaines.
Contrary to the reports which have been
circulated, Mrs. Blaine says that she
has never been on the stage, and was
never a pupil of any school of acting.

The tneztiza women of that most inter
esting country are famed far their beauty
of form and features, abundant silky
black tresses, large dark eyes and easy,
graceful manners. Generally they are
as good a8 they are pretty; bat their lot
is seldom a happy one; perhaps they are
too numerous to be jukly appreciated.
About one in eight enters the state of
matrimony, and these appear to be the
least happy. Owing to a great excess of
female population—the consequence of
many revolutions and war with hostile
Indians—a large number of women de
pend entirely on their own exertions, and
their field of labor is limited. They are
not employed in stores, such places being
monopolized by white handed youths
who think coarser toil beneath them.

bread of dependence in the house of re

nor may they venture to dwell apart

been circulating in Atuens, regarding
the disappearance of Mr. II. L. Hard
man, Mayor of Harmony Grove,
yesterday a Bash kb-Watchman
porter went up to Harmony Grove to
find out the facts in the case.
We met Dr. Hardman, and explained
our mission, and he very kindly gave
us all the information in regard to the
case. It is true that Mayor Hardman
has been gone tor tbe past ten days, and
is now in Texas. There is no reason
for his leaviog only that he bad con
tracted debts that he was unable to
meet and was afraid to tell his lather,
who was a partner, and on this account
left the State. There was a great deal
of money belonging to the city and to
private parties which is still in the safe
and not a thing belonging to any one
was touched. The business will still be
continued, and no one will lose a dollar
by his disappearance.

* Being directed to a family of girls who

along a broken narrow sidewalk to house

sisting of three rooms, and an outhouse
that served as kitchen. We rapped with
our knuckles, and a sweet voice bade us
“como iu.” Pushing open the door, we

A TALE OF WOE.
Yes. they could make all the lace we
desired, if we could advanco money to
buy net and thread; they had none, even
to buy medicine for their rick mother.
We asked them to resume the work that
our arrival had interrupted. Tliis they
did, embroidering tho net with a long
fine needle and thread drawn from white
linen cloth. Tbe designs, their own imi
tation of native flowers, are traced on
liito paper that is tacked to the net. A
ame is used only for very wide lace.
After our order was given a tale of
woo was poured forth, with an appeal for
money in advance. A few days later a
messenger came from our laoe makers
with an earnest petition for aqother
small installment, and so on, every few
days, tho full price being paid long be
fore the lace was made. We engaged
one woman to make eight yards of lace
eighteen inches wide, and having

more than four yards. These people earn
