PERSONS AND THINGS. THE ATHENS AND KNOXVILLE, Negotiations Completed and the Moner Forthcoming—The Road a Certainty; Ju ige Bailey Thomas is going to build his road from Tallulah Falls to Knox ville, by the assistance of subscriptions along the route and Northern capitalists. I he latter have agreed to deposit a large sum in New York 90 days from January 22. If the capitalists, with whom Judge Thomas is now in negotiation, fail to comply with their agreement, he has other parties v ho have promised to lend him the requisite money on the 91st day. So the matter is now in shape and the road a certainty, within a reasonable lime. He won’t be able to span Tallu lah chasm in a day or push bis way through the mountains by a stroke, but Judgo Thomas will get there just the same. Put that down. ■ Besides being of inestimable value to Athens, the road will develop a rich sec tion in North Carolina and Tennessee, a section abounding in minerals and splen didly adopted for pasturage for cattle. Those living along the line of road will and should contribute liberally, as it will immensely enhance the value of their property. OUR NEIGHBORS. TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH.

The paper was marked Bulletin 13, and read as fol' lows: Athens, Ga., Feb. 15, 3 p. m. Chief of Police: “I am now in your city ready for work. Violators of the law beware.” (Signed) “Jack the Ripper.” Chief Oliver says he has no idea . who put the notice there. A policeman on the night force said that this morning about 5 o’colck, some one turned the shutters near the door and peeped .in but seeing a Are burning in the office they went away. This is Jack’s official announcement of bis arrival in the city. My little son, three years of age, was terribly afflicted with scrofula.

Atlanta, Feb. 14.— Georgia’s grati tude, which is greater than her means of expressing it, is divided among about 800 veterans who were disabled by fed eral shot. Up to 3 o’clock today 430 have re ceivred their pensions. These pensions average about $75. The veterans are tenacious of life One of them said today that he had nev er seen a one-legged man dead. The pro verbial white mule has died and has been seen in undignified death, long since, but the one-legged veteran lives on, or else, like the phoenix, never per mits the cold world to gaze on his life less face. Within the last three years only a half dozen have answered the final roll call. The pension, though a small one,keeps many a veteran in the thin ranks who had else long since have been numbered with “the unreturning brave.” JUG TAVERN. * Jug Tavern, Feb. 11.—One of Mr. F. L# Pirns’ fine mules had its foot caught in a crack of the stable yesterday, and iu the effort to rise the leg was broken. Mr. Z. W. Betts, of Athens, made a business trip here today. Messrs. Smith & Carithers, A. J. Har- digree and others were purchasers of land at the sale of lots belonging to the estate of Mr. J. B. Betts. Jug Tavern, Feb. 16.—The band en tertainment last night was well attended despite the threatening weather. •The music and songs were entirely new and added much to the evening’s programme. The popular drama “Among the Breaker” was rendered better than ever, showing marked improvement since it was played here last summer. The whole pro gram will be repeated Monday night. 18th inst. by special request. JEFFERSON, Jefferson, Feb. 11.—That same pluck and energy that has always been shown by Bichard Russell characterizes him in bis new office, and he will be a solicitor that all will appreciate. It gives your correspondent much pleasure to make public the compliments psid to' our mu tual ftiend, Geo. C. Thomas, of Athens. His speech on Saturday in the Hawks case has been complimented on all sides, and the same reputation he has gained in ciiminal business is awarded to him on the civil side of the court. He is bound to be one of the leading lawyers from Athens at our court. Jefferson, Feb. 12. —- Three cheers and a tiger for the choice of an editor for the University Reporter. No better selection could have been made than J. C. Turner, of Jefferson. Mr. Turner was born in Athens in the year 1865, »nd..8hortly thereafter moved to Jeffer son. He received bis education at the Martin Institute, then read law in the office of Col. Siltnan, and is now taking course in the law department at Ath ens. He will alike reflect honor on bis home and the University. Court is progressing very well Our new Solicitor-General is doing good work. The c« ncert will take place tomorrow night. A good crowd from Athens is xpected. Jefferson, Feb. 16.—Considerable interest was felt by all who had taken a chance at the breech-loading shotgun of fered by editor Ross, of the Herald, and the pumpkin seed were counted on yes terday. The pumpkin had 722 • seed, and F. M. Marlow guessed 718 and took the prize. Court adjourned last night. It is said the grand jury will recommend eight week’s court instead of six, so as to keep up with the docket. Col. R. L. J. Smith, and lady, of Dan- ielsville, have been in attendance during court. CRAWFORD. Crawford, Feb. 11.—Mr. P. A. Wat kins, an old and highly respected citi zen of our county, died rather suddenly this morning at 3 o’clock. The new Baptist church will be finished this week. The finishing touches are being put on, and it will be one of the nicest churches in Northeast Georgia. Farmers are beginning to haul guano, though we don’t think they will use as much as they did last year. KAYSVILLE. May8villf, Feb. 16.—Miss Nora Rylee, daughter of Mr. Win. Rvlee, Banks county, died on-last Wednesday night. Mr. Edgar Sheeler is here to-day cir culating among his friends, who are con gratulating him ‘over his recent ac quittal. Geo. W. Brown, arid J. M. Merritt, re turned from Jefferson yesterday. Hon. Pope Barrow passed up the Northeastern this morning. W. W. Jordan, Esq., of Harnjony Grove, paid us a visit to-day. SHEELER CLEARED. Jlfferson, Feb. 16.—The.jury in the Heeler murder case brought in a ter-. lj c - r» ot guilty, after being out about .ce hours. This case has created [life a sensation all over the State. The nurdered man was beating his wife, and 1C j |f s,imcn y showed that her husband tad her down and, with a "draw knife, wore he would kill her, when the son lot his gun and killed his father. The Ase has been called several teims of the ourt and was continued. There was , od counsel on each side, and all made engthy and able speeches.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a purely veget able preparation, being free from injur- ioua ingredients. It is peculiar in its curative power. A GOOD PICTURE. Mr. D. N. Mathews drew a splendid picture of the monopolist and farmer,and presented it to the Alliance meeting on Thursday.. The picture represents farmer with a sack of guano on his back and the monopolist holding his nose to the grindstone, and as he turns the gold drops out into the coffer of the monopo list. It is well gotten up. Advice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used for children teeth ing.

He is one of the participants in the fight, and can give you all the news.” The reporter at once sidled up to Jack Eads and found that he was willing to give to the world his troubles in tLe church where Rev. Lake Brcwa was the pastor. Said Jack as the reporter informed him of his object in seeking an interview: “I am a deacon in Lake Brown’s church in East Athens, and Wednesday night 1 wanted to make* statement to the church in regard to how Brer Lake Brown had treated me. This statement the Rev. Brown did not care to hear, as it implicated him in all of my troubles. I was at once seized by several of h ! s followers and thrown out of tie church, and while his followers held me R< v. Lake Brown struck me over the hi ad with a stick, Jack pulling off his hat and showing a fearful gash. The church is against me, but I am bound ‘to tell all about it. Lake Brown has won the af fections of my wife and taken her away from me, although she is the mother of eleven children, she found favor in Lake’s brown’s eyes, and while I was off laboring bard to make a support for her and the children he came like a thief in the dark and with prayers and an oily tongue took from me the one that I had sworn to love, honor and protect. After I found out how things were going at home, I left my wife and will never live with her again. Lake Brown is the au thor of my unhappiness, and when I at tempted to tell the church that they were harboring & wolf in sheep’s .cloth ing, I was beat nearly to death.” There will be several warrants sworn out on both sides, and we may expect to have rich developments. Lawyers have been employed on both sides. WILL BE A FAILURE. What Col. Harvey Thinks ol the Coming Administration. GEN. HARRISON A NARROW SECTION ALIST.

The demand for three dollar mules has been brisk during the past three days, but owing to a rush of a large number, the market has slightly declined, and up to a late hour yesterday the buyers and sellers were apart. Bernstein came on the market about dinner time and tried to bull the market with stump suckers, but finding it could not be bulled he retired in disgust. There is a good demand for $3.25 mules but the sellers think that by giving of | few more feeds they may go higher. The tone of the market is brisk, with an upward tendency, and it is more than likely that mules with one eye will bring higher prices during the day. ATHENS COTTON MARKET. Office of Banner-Watchman.

Two old men over sixty years old,had a regular fist-and-skull fight at Far mington a few days ago. There was con siderable scratching and biting. The citizens of Farmington are now anxious ly awaiting the pistols and coffee. Gen Alger is playing a sharp game to get into President Harrison’s Cabinet. He recently said that Gen. Harrison had determined to offer a portfolio to a Con federate brigadier, as he was sure that the solid South could never be broken until an Ex-Confederate was in the Cab inet. Alger has had this remark repeat ed in the Grand Army of the Republic circles and the result is that a small cy clone is forming over the Harrison resi deuce in Indianapolis, that this commotion will result in a for mal demand for a G. A. R. man to bo hon ored with a portfolio. He is sure that he fills the bill. The new House of Commons in Japan is to be composed of 390 members, and the right of sufferage is to be exercised by all men 25 years old who pay annual tax of$25.These requirements are more exacting than those heretofore fixed for electors who are entitled to vote for members of the city and perfectual assem blies that determine the local tax rates. In the case of those electors the voting age has been 20 years and the land tax limit about $5. There were nearly 1,700,000 such voters in 1884. By the terms of the new Constitution there will also be established a House of Peers under conditions that will permit it to be controlled by the Mikado, for v bile some members are to be elected, those remaining, and probably a majori ty, are either to bo nominated by the Mikado or to obtain seats by inheritance, It could not have been expected that the present ruler and his immediate sup porters would turn over the whole thing to the people at one stroke. The change will be sufficiently abrupt under the con ditions marked o.ut, and it is probable that the privileges conferred will be all that the people are prepared to use in telligently. But frem every point of view it is a very remarkable undertak ing, and the experience of Japan under the operation of this Constitution will be studied with deep interest by all civi lized nations.

C., Feb. 15.—Colonel James E. Harvey was James Buchanan’s •minister to Portugal. Since the day when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, he has been a political student. A vigorous writer of keen ob servation, his views are of value upon the lines which divide party fo lowings in this land. Your corr»[ on !ent met Mr. Harvey yesterday, and asked him what he thought would be the outcome of the Harrison administrafon. “It will bee failure,** he said. “In deed, it is a failure now, before it is launched. Since his election, Mr. Har rison seems to have been in ti e hands of a mob of very bad advisers. His mistake in the formation of' his cabinet has been his desire to select according to geo graphical lines. The fact is the people of this country don’t care where a cabi net minister may be selected, so long as he is of ability and probity. My judg ment is now that Harrison is floundering badly as to a secretary of the treasury, Determined he seems to go west for his candidate, and yet every one mentioned for the office from that section has rela tions with Wall street, one way or the other. The administration of the affairs of the treasury departm.nt do not in volve the highest order of ability. Hon esty and good sense enter, of course, but the policy is fixed. It is that of protec tion jmd tho purchase of bonds. Were I president, I would much prefer to have at the head of it one who knew the ins and outs of Wall street, for ha would protect the treasury, raher than one who did not, to be open to its rapacity, The position of power of patronage and plunder is not the treasury, but the inte rior department.” “What,” he was asked, “in your judg ment, operated upon Senator Allison to decline the treasury?" j “Allison,” he said, “L -j. man of inda*- cison. He coquetted w ith Gartield. % He accepted a place in his cabinet one night and ihen declined n the morning, giv ing as an excuse that h;B wife was not qeual to its social exactions. That was a good reason for the declination the night he accepted, but not subsequently. He seems to have trilled with Harrison. How easy he could have said, when he first visited Harrison in behalf of Clark son, that under no consideration would he go into the cabinet. This would l a e dismissed him from Harrison’s "mind. Instead, he left it an open question. When he again visited Harrison recently so 6tire we.e the Iowa leaders of his ac ceptance that they at once proceed ed to plan for his senatorial tea’. under the firm convicticn of an impending vacani cv. He came back from Indianapolis to Washington with the problem still open. Just as Henderson, Clarkson and Lara- bte had arranged for the succession Mr. Allison declines.” “And what prompted him so to act ?’ “Of course, I do not know,” was the answer. “I imagine, though, that fcher- man and Edmunds prevailed upon his judgment. Neither Edmunds nor Sher man feels under obligations to the presi dent-elect because he has seen St to select Blaine as the premier. Of course, they will not antagonize the new administra tion openly or explosively, but they will secretly stab it.” “Wnat is your estimate of Gen. Har rison?” asked your correspondent. “I take him,” sail he, “tobean adroit, man. His speeches in the cam- ’ ” ‘ l think him, Jris sect orial rvligiousscruples, andre reason I hate some apreehensions for the south I cannot see, though, how he is to be popular. I discussed him with a senator a day or two ago who served contemporaneously with him. Why, he said, after six years he left the body witnbut any ^special friends, and not evev wi.h the good-will of a single page of the senate. True. Henry G. Davis had relations quite clo~e with him, but these were entirely personal.” “Do you apprehend the democracy will regain power';” “It depends,” was tho answer. “If the members of the south are not too anxious to establish relations with the new administration I can see no reason why the democrats should not regain control of the next house of representa tives. I think Harrison is stiff-necked, self opinionated, and callous to advice. For this reason I foresee for him storms and trouble. paign developed that., 1 though, a narrow man in, When you are sick you don’t want the oretical or even logical demonstration to convince you as to the Worth of a rem edy you should use. Experimental knowledge is the true criterion. Read the experience of others who have used B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm).
