BUILDING ATHENS.
A Review of the New Houses, Stores. &c.,
Recently Erected In the City.
There is said to be more building
going on in Athens, than any other city
of its its size in the state.
Yesterday a reporter called upon sev
eral contractors of. the city, and got a
list of the principal buildings which
were erected the last year:
‘•Now in East Athens” said a gentle
man who is in a position to know, “the
improvements may bo placed at about
$50,000. You can stand on a certain
spot on,the Dorsey hill, and count sixty
new cottages which have just been com
pleted,and the paint has had hardly time
dry.”

BOLD ATXE MPT AT ROBBERY.
Three Negroes Try to Kill an Old Citizen of
Franklin County to Get His Money.
A gentleman from Franklin county
was in the gty yesterday, and tells of a
bold attempt of three negroes to mur
der Mr. George Atkinson and his niece,
for the purpose of plundering their
house and getting hold of a sum of money
they thought the oid gentleman had.
The story of the affair was related as
follows:
'Mr. Atkinson is a well-to do farmer liv
ing with his niece a short di t ince from
C&rnesville. On Saturday afternoon
last, he was seated in his room, when
three negroes, Pate Browner, Dan Mc-
Failin and Jim Bray, called at the house
and asked concerning the best road to
some point. The old gentlemen walked
off a few rods to give the desired infor
mation when suddenly he was struck
on the head by Browner. Mr. Atkins
fell to the ground, at the same time
screaming at the tip of his voice. His

THE C. A M. GETS OFF.
An Accident Sunday Morning-, But No One
Seriously Hurt.
On Sunday morning the usual good
crowd left the city over the Covington
& M*con road to spend the day with
their friends along the line.
Lit'!" did they think when the train
pulled out of the city, that an accident
was in store for them, but such however
was the case.
The train left Whitehall od time, and
the engine was in front of the train
running backwards, as the “Y” here
has not been completed. Suddenly there
was a jarring sensation which stirred
things op considerably. The tender
was first to leave the track. It was fol
lowed Uy the engine and second class
car. The braking of the coupling be
tween the white and colored coaches
was the only thing that saved the for
mer from leaving the track. The col
ored coach, which was pretty well
filled with negroes, rolled over once, but
none of the occupants were seriously
injured The engineer, Mr. Blair, was

man.
One of the number, Jim Bray, turned
states evidence, and said that they had

Improvemets in fitting up the Exper

The handsome new stores of Tal-

The store of McGinty & Hunnicutt,

finishing touches. It is worth $6,000.
The new council chamber on Jack
son street was built for three thousand
dollars.
Mr. Rocker’s new warehouse in the
rear of his compres - *, has been com
pleted at a cost of five Vuousand dol
lars.
Now cast your eye over the city, and
behold the new residences which are
springing up on every vacant lot.
Mr.Swann is building a cottage on his
Broad street lot which will cost one
thousand five hundred dollars.
The beautiful residence of Mr. C. D
Flannigen on Prince avenue, vfill be
completed at a cost of seven thousand
dollars.
The residence of Mrs. P. H. Mell, on
South Milledge avenue, was built for
$3,500.
Mr. Geo. Hodgson’s new home on
Prince avenue, cost $5,1)00.
Dr. Camack has just completed a one
thousand five hundred dollar cottage in
the rear of the court house on Meigf
street.
The new home of Mr. George Mell, in
Cobbhsm, was built at a cost of three
thousand five hundred dollars.
Mr. John Williford has a nice little

At the Georgia factory, improvements

The new ten thousand dollar Y. M.

will be one of the prettiest buildings in
the city. _ __ ^
Dr. R; I. Hampton will’begin shortly,
the erection of a three thousand five

near Athens.
From the above' account it will
seen that Athens is rather hard to down
on the building question.
they thought Mr. Atkinson had at his
•residence a large sum of money, which
he had collected during the fall. He
said they were first going to kill Mr.
Atkinson, and then choke his daughter
to death, so as there would be no clue
as to where the money had gone.
All three negroes are in jail, and are
closely guarded. Mr. Atkinson's
wound w»s in the back of his head, and
at first was considered mortal, but at
present he is doing as well as could be
expected. He* is- -an old man in the
neighborhood of sixty years old.
to what extent
The fast train due here at one o’clock
was delayed several hours, until the
wreck .was cleared away. It will be a
day or two before the coach and engine
are again placed on the road. All trains
were running on schedule time ye&ter
day.
The fast train on this road has never
had an accident since it was put on.
This is due to the good condition of the
road bed.

that he had catarrh. He was examined

WHAT’S IN A NAME.
The Macon Evening News says that
yesterday the C. & M. train leaving
Athens for Macon, met with an accident
near Watkin’s mill.
Shades of the departed, think of the
old town of Wrlkinsville being turned
into Watkin’s mill. Here is the home
of Earl Overby and Dr. Swep Billups
changed in a short hour from Watkins-
ville to Watkin’s mill. What will Wal-
lie Booth, who has boasted of living in
the oldest town in the world, think
when he learns that he now resides at
Watkin’s mill. Think of Lorenzo Dow
Harris registering his name at the Kim
ball House from Watkin’s mill. Hon.
James R. Lylo, the senator will be
hailed as the gentleman from- W atkin’s

whore he might be quiet for a short
while. The minister at once sank down
among the cushions, crossed one leg
over the other and clasped his left foot
in his hands. Then he fell asleep,
which was a little more than the hos
tess had calculated upon, and she took
the liberty of arousing him before his
snores became loud enough to be heard
throughout the rooms, and of bundling
him off to his carriage. The minister
probably had fallen a victim to the Amer

There was an old negro, Henry
Golding by name, in Leary the other
day, who claims to be 121 years old.
In conversation he said he was 9
years old at the commencement of the
revolutionary war, belonging at the
a time to George Humphreys, of Rich
mond, Va. Humphreys sold him ta
George Heard of Augusta, Ga., who
had owned him ten years when the
“stars fell.” If he is really as old as
he claims, he is a man of unusual
vigor, and looks as if he was good for
several years more of life.
A SURE CURE.
