The recent railroad meeting in l'rtnk-
lin, N. C, was a gratifying evidence of
the appreciation with which the moun
tain people regard the proposed road
from Athens to Knoxville. Tho senti
ment in favor of a now road by tho pco-
» the line is the best factor af
ter all, in the construction of a road,
ext to the favor with which tho enter-
received is tho evident ability

It fall of humbugs, and that remedy
that disproves this charge la a Ood-aend
to humanity. B. B. B. haa never failed,
and that ought to count aomethlng tp him
who wants to be cured of what B B B
sets itself up to cure.

■ Meridian, Miss, July 1887.
For a nombor of years I have suffered
untold agony from the effects of blood
poison. I had mycase treated by several
prominent physicians, but received but
little, if any, relief. I rearetad to all sorts
of patent medicines, spending a large

practically and promptly in its construc
tion. These people are all allied to
Athens hy past commercial relations
Some of the best business that Atlions
has ever commanded has been tho moun
tain trade, and aomo of our staunchest
men have come w> the city from
that serimn of the country. But sinca
then mountains hare grown and the coin
merejal lines hare been changed. New!
! roads here turned the traffic the other
way, and the apple wagona no longerl
represontan isolated or primitiro people.
Although notycl in actual communica
tion with tho world by rail, aoreral am
bitious cities are surveying railroads
through the Cumberland,and tho country
has taken on vigorous growth
with ell the evideneee of a
now civilisation. School houses with
tho lstcst improvements, show that the
peoplo ere alive to the best blessings of
the new era, while handiome churches
ami Wi ll tilled stores picture % morel
and a thrifty population. Thla is true
in Franklin and in Itabun; tho people are
ripe for a railroad,and more than anxious
that Athens should be the first city to
pierce the mountains and reach the coal
and grain fields of Knoxville^^^^^m
Our local columns leave no doubt that
the advantages of the Athens route were
given by Hon. H. H. Carlton in the .meat
convincing way. Heia well kaown in
that section end commands, os few oth
er man do,tbe confidence and idmfration
of Urn people. His masterly work in be
half of the Northeastern Railroad of I
Georgia, in its infancy, Is remembered
v hr the people of Northeast Georgia, and
it is but a natural and logical sequence
that his efforts should be directed now
for tho extension through Rtbun Gap to
Knoxville. Wo congratulate Dr. Carl-
tonaud Hon. W. B. Thornes upon the
recoptionof this railroad enterprise by
the people of Northeast Georgia end
Western North Caroline. It will be a
tiright day for Athene when this toed is|
built
THE SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
Tho now amendment to thu school law |
of Athens provides that one member of
the publio school board shall be elected
by tho city at large in the seme manner,
and at the seme time as the municipal
officers. In iccordanco with that re
quirement tbs qualified voters of Athene
will vote for e school eommieeioner on
Wednesday, December 7th, at the same
time that they ballot for mayor and mem.
hers of the oily council. This is e very
important matter, tod we trust that our
peoplo will guard tho board with jealous
care. Now that our school system is in
its infancy, it should command the best
ability and ths utmost conservatism and
strength in its management. It is mak
inga record from which its value will
lie teste,1, and upon which its success or
failure wilt be Judged. Daring this crit
ical time we would regret to see e polit
ical issue drawn, or an unseemly scram
ble of any kind prevail over this office.
Our people, without regard to color, are
vitally interested in the success of the
public schools. They ere objects
of pride and satisfaction to this commu
nity and in this election la well
succeeding contests, we truet cars and
good judgment will prevail inthe eelec-
lion of men to 1111 the piece of the trus
tee at large, as well as succeeding va
cancies which must be filled by popu
lar vote. The decision of the city attor
ney declaring the provisions of the
amendment not to be retroactive will
give the present status of this board the
least possible disturbance and will intro
duce tho newjorder of things quietly and
gaadually. Whatever may be the opim
ion of the policy of the change, this is
the best way to introduce it.
not commend it ton highly to those euf-
feriog from blood poisTon.
