OCONEK’li NEW BRIDGE.
The Farmers ill tli* Neighborhood Anx-
Jons to have it Built and the Grand -
Jury lttcoiiimenda It.
We are in receipt of a communication
from Mr. Thos. Smith, who lives n. a»
Burnt Factory district, in Oconee county,
In which he shows the necessity of
building the bridge over the Middle
Oconee river, as st ited in the Banner*
Watchman a few days ago.
Mr. Smith and his neighbors live four
miles from Athens, m*af Jennings mHI,
on the opposite side of the Oconee, but
in order to reach the city they are com
pelled to go around by Mitchell’s bridge
a distance of eight miles.
Though the Grand J ury has recom
mended the building of this bridge and
opening of the new road, yet it has
loot been done. Very soon Athens will
regret the delay. • .
[ \V atkinsville has a railroad now, and
n ashoitt'.me will he a line market for
ountry produce, and then our custorn-
irs across the Middle Oconee wont care
vhether they come to Athens or not, as
lYatkinsville is much nearer. We learn
bat quantities cords of wood will be
ilaced on the log pile, because the farm
r can’t haul it ill over the county to get
t to Athens.
Tins new route to our neighboring
owns must be opened. The people are
mxious for it, and there is no reason
vhy it should not be done.
We have received several letters from
laities who are enthusiastic on the sub
ect, and will endeavor to have the new
oad opened.

Talk With Ji m Thurmond, tlio oidcs
Quarter-Racer In the South.
V hile in Jefferson, a reporter of the
Banner-\\ atchman struck Jim Thur
mond, the oldest quarter-racer in Geor
gia, and interviewed him on some t f his
races. Mr. Thurmond is sixty-five yeais
of age, and when speaking of running
horses, bis eyes, although dimmed with
years, flash up in a second. He is now
strict member of the Christian church,
but will stop on his way to church to
see a good quarter-race. Santa Fee race
track has been-made famous bv his
horses, but it has seen its’ day, and
there never will be another race iun on
this track. Last Saturday a quarter race
was run and the parties had a Difficulty
over the result, and a blopdy fight en
sued in which several parties were bad
ly hurt.
In speaking of the trouble of last Sat
urday Mr.dip Thurmond said :
“It must be stopped and the Santa
Fee race track will be closed for the fu
ture.”
“You have had some big races there?’
asked the reporter.
“Yes. There has been some fast run
ning on the Santa Fee race track. I
commenced racing before the war, and
ran for big money. I have bet as high
as $500 on a single race,” said the old
roan,.as his eyes sparkled and see.ned
to see the horses speeding t-i the. finish.
“The Athens boys would all come out
when they heard that, a-race was toeonn-
off at Santa Fee, and if they took my ad
vice they went home ahead. I have run
some last races since the war. The

turned her loose against a race horse.
She was turned louse on the track w;« -

She was trained to run without a rider,
and I made a big winning on her first
race. Next came Wool Winder, the
fastest quarter-horse that was ever bred
m the American soil.I bought him out of
i wagon, hitched in front of two. oxen
from a North Carolinian,who was loaded
with apples. Wool Winder was the
poorest chance for a race hors-i in the

THE FROVISION BUSINESS.
Athena one of the Largest Distributing
Points In Georgia.
The provision business of Athens has
grown to a remarkable degree during
the last decade. Last year the Georgia
road alone brought in eleven times as
many cars of provisions as both roads
carried the year after the Northeastern
was built, which was in 1875. Athens
is established as one of the leading dis
tributing points in Georgia for all kinds
of heavy groceries, such as grain, meat
flour, tobacco, etc. In addition to this
our cotton receipts have more than
trebbled in the same time.
Croup, whooping cough, sore throat,
sudden cold, and the lung troubles pec
uliar to children,are easily controlled by
promptly administering Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. This remedy is safe to tak
and certain in its action.

Daniel O’Connell was the greatest popu

Irishmen-he now thinks there are but

refers to as next among formidable com

Greek and Roman history, pronouncing
neither Cleon or Gracchus, nor later
Rienzi and Savonarola equals in powe
with O’Connell. Nor will he allow and

Popes and Cardinals.
Of the 303 popes registered in the sta
tistics of the holy see only 49 are of for
eign nationality, the other 314 are It-
lians, and include 111 Romans. Among
the foreign popes there have been 15
French, 8 Greek, 6 German, C Syrian, 3
African,2 Dalmatian,1 English,1 Epirote,
Antiochian, 1 Portuguese, 1 Thracian
and 1 Flemish. The last named, who
eigned under the title of Adrian VI, is
the latest date, and his elevation goes
back to the year 1522. So it is more than
threi centuries and a half since a non-
Italian pope has sat upon St. Peter’s
throne.
Of the 61 existing cardinals only 32
are Italians: the other 29 are foreigners.
It will thus be seen that the distance be
tween the two elements is scarcely
perceptible. Among the cardinals who
are not Italians there are 8 French,
Spanish, 3 English, 3 Germans, 3 Por

Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.,
Gentlemen: — A sense of gratitude
an<l tlie desire to render a service to the
public impel me to make the following
statements:
My college career, at New Haven, was
interrupted by a severe cold which so
enfeebled me that, for ten years, I had a
hard struggle* for life. Hemorrhage
from the bronchial passages was the
result of almost every fresh exposure.
For years I was under treatment of the
ablest practitiouers without avail. At
last I learned of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
which I nsed (moderately and in sinall
doses) at the first recurrence of a cold
or any chest difficulty, and from which
I invariably found relief. This was
over 25 years ago. With all sorts of
exposure, in all sorts of climates, I have
never, to this day, had any cold nor
any affection of the throat or . lungs
which did .not yield to Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral within 24 hours.
Of course I have never allowed my
self to he without this remedy in all my
voyages and travels. Under my own
observation, it has given relief to vast
numbers of persons; while in acute cases
of pulmonary inflammation, such as
croup and diphtheria in children, life
has been preserved through its effects.
I recommend its use in tight but fre
quent doses. Properly administered, in
accordance with your directions, it is
A Priceless Blessing
in any liousew I speak earnestly because
I feel earnestly. I have known many
cases of apparently confirmed bronchitis

cine. Faithfully yours,

Latest Scare at Indiana polio—White-
law Keid’a Chances. ■,
Indianapolis, Feb. 8.—Gen. Harrison
adheres to his determination to make a
western man secretary of the treasury.
He ha j sent here three alternative prop
ositions w hit h he wishes the New-York
leader j to consider, and one of which he
has intimated they will do well to ac
cept.
The first is to make "VVhitelaw Reid
secre ary of the navy, send Mr. Erarts
to England, and tiun leave Messrs. Platt
and Miller to fight out their personal
issue ov er the vacant senato:ship. This
woalij gi.e Plats a vindicati n by ie-
dection as senator and send Miher back
to the people, whom he claims are back
of him in preference to Platt. The sec
ond proposition is to make Mr. Erarts
a t. rney general, a post for which he de
clares especial aversion, send Mr. Reid
to England, and let thj fight over the
senatorship take place as in'the first sug
gestion. The last one is to let Mr. Reid
ibave the English Mission, for which he
Is popularly booked, and make Plat: sec
retary of the navy anl "Warner Miller
secretary of agriculture. Nei.her Platt
or Miller like any of the suggestions.
M.l’.er speaks of the agricultural depart-
rnejit with positive contempt.
Platt shuts his teeth firmly together
and says nothing. He doesn t propose
to gee left, and the more he studies the
contacting elements in the situation, the
more confident he is that he will ulti
mately get the treasury portfolio.
'The Indiana men are watching three
xirtfol os from the standp >int of what
rappens in New York. New wants the
treasury: VV. H. H. Miller, Harrison's
law partn.jr, wants the attorney general
ship, and Ca’kins wants to be secretary
of war. It can readily.be seen how tliev
are a ected by wTiht New York is wil
ling to accept. Calkins will give way '.o
New, but demands recognition before
Miller, and tells friends th t if he had
not put the Gresham men in line by his
own prompt aciion, Gen. Harris, n might
not have carried Indiana.
Gen. Harr son is having a scare about
h's mail. He has discovered leaks of in-
formati' n which could only have occur
red, he thinks, through tampering with
liis letters. His correspondence of an
important nature is now inclosed in
doubl > envelopes, and some of it is reg
istered. Other letters a:e inclosed under
the co er of the envelopes of a business,
firm in Indianapolis, to o e of their cor
ro non ’ents here, and delivered by. soc
ial mes-eng _r. Your co respondent saw
on * such letter t o da/, but the person to
whom it was sent would not*show its
contents. His o.ily statement about it
was that Mr, Blaine and Mr. Wanama
ker were the only cabinet certainties at
present.
The Foor Cabinet-Makers.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 8.—The cab
inet talk has.become tiresome. Mr. A1
iison’s wabbling performance has given
the p.espective cabinet such a wrench
that the speculators have to go back to
ti e ground floor. While Allison was
locked upon as a surety, it was thought
to he an easy thing to come within two
or three of naming the whole cabinet.
Now only Blaine and Wanam iker are
regarded as sure thi- gs. The Sherman
inr.uence. and the complications grow
i:;g out of >hv new deal, a e said to have
greati.v t-n iangered General Alger'*cabi
net prospects. There has been a good
deal of an effort to revive John C. New
as a great man, but hi3 boom is probably
the outcome of the hostility to Blaine in
ndiana. As Blaine is a fi e l star in the
minister al firmament, and as he and

personal admiration for each other.

Home Evidence
No other preparation lias won success at
homo equal to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In
Lowell, Mass., where it Is made, It Is now,
as it has been for years, the leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. Tills “good name
home” is “a tower of strength abroad.’*
It would require a volume
to print all Lowell people
have said in favor oi Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert
Estes, living at 23 East Pine
Street, Lowell, for 15 years
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president of the Erie Telephone Company,
had a large running sore coino on his leg,
which troubled him a year, when ho began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew
less in size, and in a short time disappeared.
Jos. Dunphy,2l4 Cen
tral Street, Lowell, had
swellings and lumps
on his face and neck,
which Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla completely cured.
Mrs. C. "W. Marriott, wlfo of the First As
sistant Fire Engineer of Lowell, says that
for 16 years she was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every fort
night, when she was obliged to take her bed,
and was unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after a Mini*
the attacks ceased entirely.
Many more might be given had we room.
On the recommendation of people of Lowell,
who know us, we a3k you to try
