Mr. Connerton, who runs a store near
the Lower bridge,' has been troubled by
thieves lately.
A few nights ago be was awakened by
a loud noise as if something was falling
down, he arose, seized his sbotgnn, and
proceeded to the front of his store. As
he passed one of the windows two figr
ures jumped outand.ran for all they were
worth.
Mr. Connerton raised his shotgun and
let them uave the full benefit, he says he
thinks he hit one, but if he did,it did not
lessen his pace.
Nothing of any importance was taken
from the store as the parties were dis
turbed before they got in their work.

Jefferson Ga, Feb.,21.—We would
be glad to write you eucouragingly from
this point, but we just simply cannot do
it and write the truth. The new year
is upiin us, and with it will come, “we
apprehend,” the hardest times that we
have ever inetwithin these parts. Con
trary to the advice of the ablest minds
of the country at large, and, in fact, right
in the face of tbeir own better judg
ment, our people have pursued the ruin
ous mania for speculative farming until
the end has come with a great many of
them. Halt crops of cotton is the cry
from the farmer; half paid accounts from
merchant, and largely over
drawn account; from the cotiun
factor. T jus it he country
goes, almost general 1 y, and what the
real outcome will be in the end we fear to
predict “Whether or not” it would
really be best in the end
for the monied men of the
country to bridge over the present
disaster by farther extension of time is a
doubtful question in our mind.
In shoit, oar observation
compels us to believe that this bridging-

direct .causes of our present hard-press

The Press Used by Benjamin Franklin

It has been claimed by many that they
have the printing press used tq. print
Confederate money on, and tlie press
that did the first public printing of the
State and many other things. We have
positive proof that there is now in the
cellar of the Banner-Watchman office
the oldest pi ess in the country, and from
its looks one would take it to have been
used by Noah in printing circulars about
the weather. This press is not of the
modern style and has none of the im
provements made in late years. It is
piaced on a bench with a lever power
and a small roller to ink the form. This
press was purchased years ago from a
firm in Savannah who was running a
magazine, and brought to Athens. The
owners of the magazine said that it was
the press used by. Benjamin Franklin
and we have not doubt, from its anti
quated appearance, that they are right.
The press can be seen at the Banner-
Watchman office.
