THE fcAttofift-WATCHMAN ATHENS, GA., NOVEMBER, r} i8ty . rim.or the city or stums and COUNTIES OF CLARKE (ANO BANKS. “*VoYcKFROM THE MOUNTAINS. — 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 plo of Macon county, N.

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.

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. JO Grasow, Trainman M.AO.B. B.
