The Crowd Coming Arrangements
Heine Made to Accommodate Alt.
The firemen’s tournament bids fair to
be the largest ever held in the State.
Everything is in shape, and Athens will
do her best to accommodate the cro*d.
The boarding houses and hotels have
nude arrangements to accommodate
all who come, and the Athens firemen
will make it pleasant for their visiting
brethren.
Let every one do his best to make
their stay in Athens one of pleasure, and
a good time will be had.
This is the chance for the Athens
boys to show to the balance of th-
St»te that they can do things up in the
latest style, and it is to be hoped that
not a visitor will go away dissatisfied.
The management of affairs is in go»d
hands, and they «r£ doing tln-ir best to
make the tournament the best ever held
in the South.
It is to be hoped that the citizens will
assist the firemen in their laudable un
dertaking, in i the biggest time ever Was
in Athens or Georgia will be seen.

NOTICE.
Mr. A. R. Robertson, our Marble and
Gianite Merchant, says our people make
a great mistake in purchasing Marble or
Granite Monuments from drummers or
traveling agents, with the impression
that they are doing better than they can
here in Athens, Ga. Mr. Robertson says
he keeps up with all the new and latest
Designs in the Monument business, and
will guarantee that his pri:es are at least
ten per cent, lower than any other Mar
hla or Granite dealer in the United
States ; and our people will do much
better to go and see Mr. Robertson at
the Marble yard, when they want to
purchase a Marble or Granite Monument,
and he will guarantee first-class work
at mu.-h lower prices than you can get
from any other Marble or Granite Dealer
in the United Stales. tf.

Must Draw the Line,

cine, pots &c., and is si ways gl»d ro re
ceive curiosities and r lies, but it has
come to the time -when we must draw
the line. j
Mr. 11.11 Hearn, one of the original
characters of Walton county has set t
us, either one of Jos Brown’s pikes or
the top of a railing around a graveyard
and Hectares that it is an Indian toma
hawk, dug out of the ground when the
Indians had a fight in Walton county.
We tried every way possible to intro
duce tlie tomahawk to the public and
told our friends, that Bill He»rn would
die by his statement, but it was no good
It is made out of iron and of a very
modern pattern.
Our friend Bill Hearn must go to dig
ging again, if he wants a genuine toma
hawk, for we think this one was made
by the Athens Foundry.
Consumption Curable.
Sin'-e the fact that consumption is
both preventable,and in its eaiiiest stage
curable, it has lost much of its terror. If
the first symptoms are at once recogniz
ed, and the proper remedy applied.very
few, if any one, need die of consumption,
which is really lung-scrofula.Like many
other diseases this formidable one grows
out of impure blood, and this, in turn,
from a diseased liver. Hence, we-have
the hacking cough, the pains in chest,
the inflamed lungs, and all tbe symptoms
of hastening consumption, all the result
of depraved blood and a diseased liver.
The use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery will arrest all such symptoms,
restore the liver to healthy action, apd
send streams of pure blood into eojerj
organ. Of druggists.

No building wns ever erected in Ath

more abiding interest, than this—c* r

whieh the sp rit and purpose of the
work had s • attracted and seized upon
the hearts of the whole people,. Its ob
ject and purpose was one which could
not fail to endear itself to the'‘heart of
every home th Athens and one which
could not but commend itself to tbe
cpprobirtion.of every t>nc whose human
ity and love of race reached as far as his
own front gate.
The Association ha 1 its birth in the
time of the generation now living and
the wonderful work it has already done
on both continents gives proof of ns
boundless possibilities for good iu the
future. «
Its work is primarily for young men
but none are excluded by.reason of age
for if the heart And mind of a youn
man are imbued with the correct prin
ciples., no human foresight can horo
scope the.devotion or extent of such
man’s usefulness. Tbe Association
seeks to do its word by associated and
combined effort. The Coral islands
which lift tluit heads above the waves
of the inter tropical seas show what the
combined efforts of the very lowest
form tf animal creaioa can do. For
these toilers of the sea (Corals) keep
buildirguntil they raise, their subma
rinc structures above the waves and
form islands, whose beauty and fruitful
ness arc the admiration aildjoy ot wave
worn mariners.
While the association is for men, the
women are not exclude from its work

MASONIC CEKEMONI
The Masonic ceremonies ot iftytng
the corner stone were next in order,
and Grand Master S. C. Dobbs con
ducted the same in a most impressive
manner. The ceremonies were opened
itli prayer by Grand Chaplain Rev.
Mr. Elliott. Next a song, “When
Ear h’s Foundation First was Laid.”
Grand Master Dobbs then an
nounced that he wou'd receive any
relics to be deposited in the stone.
Among others offered was a list of
members of tbe Y. M. C. A., engraved
on a tablet of lead; constitution aud
by-laws of the different secret orders
in the city; list of subsbribers in tbe
M. C. A. building ; a tablet bear
ing the name, “Y. L. G. Harr's, the
Y. M. C. A.’s best friend” copy of
the Fiber ton Star; various bills of
Confederate money ; list of subscri
bers iu tbe city to the Confederate
Home as published in the Banxeu-
Watciiman ; copy of the Baxxeb-
Watoiimax, containing a sketch of
the life of Judge Y. L. G. Harris;
pair of diamond spectacles by Skiff,
the jeweler; copies of the Athens
Daily and Weekly Chronicle.
The stone w r as then laid in its place,
tested by plumb, square and
level and pronounced by
Gra d Master Dobbs to be
well formed, true and trusty.
klThe corn of nourishment, wine of
refreshment and the oil of joy was
then [inured on the stone, after which
the public grand honois were given
thrice.
The plumb, square and level were
then returned to the architect.
Past Master Chappell was then in
troduced by the Grand Master, and
delivered an interesting account
of the infancy of
Masonry, fo'lowing with a run
ning sketch of its .spread throughout
the world. Mr. XJhappe'l’s speech
was we 1 timed, and received with ap
p'ause.
Grand Junior Warden of the Grand
Lodge, John P. Shannon, of Elberton
at the request of GraudMaster Dobbs
made a short and most happy talk
He was constantly applauded, and
left a fine impression as a brilliant
talker. The ceremonies were closed
with benediction by Grand Chaplain
Elliot. The Masons then "formed in
ine and marched to their hall, and the
crowd dispersed.
Acting Deputy Grand Master Os-
lin, of Gainesville, assisted in the
ceremo. ies. ~ ;

Deafness Can’t be Cured
bv local applications, as they can’t reach
ti.e diseased portion of tbe ear. There
is oi lv one way to cure deafness, and
chat is by constitutional remedies- Deaf-
n> ss is caused by an inflamed ’condition
of f it*.mucus lining ot the Eustachian
Tab«. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inllainntiou can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
casesx>ut of ten aro caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
lion of the mneus surfaces.

catarrh.) that we cannot cure by taking

Jefferson Correspondent Discloses
Fact Interesting and Important. iDel-
—egates From Ten Counties—After
wards Amended at Louisville.
A correspondent’from Jefferson writes
the following to the Augusta Chronicle:
Jefferson. Ga. May 1.—An old
record that I have in hand at this mo
ment informs me that next Monday,
May tith, will be the centennial of the
adoption of’Georgia’s first constitution.
was done in your city on the 6th day
of May 1789, by a convention compos
ed of delegates from the ten counties
then composing the state, and of which
Win. GiuPbns, of Chatham, was presi
dent. Benjamin Lanier, John Green
and Nathan Browning represented the
ounty of Eflingham; David Emanuel,
Hugh Lawson and William Little the
county of Burke; Abram Marshall,
Win. F. Booker and Leonand Marbury
the county of Richmond; J ohn Talbot
and Jeremiah Walker the county of
Wilkes ;Lachland McIntosh the county
of Liberty: Alexander Bissett the coun
ty' of Glynn ; .Jarid Irwin, John Watts
and Joshua Williams the county of
Washington; M. Woods tlie county of
Franklin; Joseph Carmieheal and
Henry Carr the county of Green,and
Asa Emanuel, Justus II. Sclieubea and
its president the county of Chatham; D.
Longstreet was* its secretary. The con
stitution adopted by this convention
was afterwards, viz: in the year 1895,
“amended and added to” by a conven
tion which assembled at Louisville, and
atjwhieh also the latter place was fix d
as the state’s permanent seat of go Ver
mont. X. W. .Tones, of Chatham, was
president of this assembly and Thomas
JohBfon secretary, The state had in
creased to and was represented by*
eighteen counties in this convention.
The delegates from your eounty were
John Milton, George Walker and
Philip Clayton.
Crop prospects are fine in Northeast
Georgia at the present writing, and if
good seasons continue and no disaster
occurs, wc look for better times the
coming fall and winter
Strong efforts are being made to con
nect Jefferson and Athens by railway
during the coming summer, and with
every prospect of success. Should tlijs
be done, your city will have a better
chance at the triffic of this section, and
we are in hopes they' will improve the
advantage.

According to the auqunceraent of the

The Champion.
Mr. Charlie Shackelford, the fastest
