Editors Daily Banner :—I them as good bargains as ever. A few cases of disorderly aondnet were disposed of by the Mayor yes terday and three or four more this morning. Most of the offenders plead guilty and either contributed their quota to the treasury or took their places on the street force. Mr. M. B. McGinty has the con tract for building a jail for Dawson county, and will probably begin the work in a few days. It is to be on the plan of the jail at Gainesville, though not so largo. Judge J. B. M. Winburn, of Gainesville, is associated with Mr. McGinty in the contract and hot cakes. We have mentioned before a num ber of the troupes that may be ex pected. We learn now that Joe Jeffer son and Raymond will probably swell the list, while Geo. II. Adams new Ilumpty Duinpty troupe is sure to he here. George, it will be remembered lias been for years the celebrated clown ol Tony Denier’s troupe. This season he and Adam Forepaugh, tbe renown ed circus man are together, the latte r being manager. They have put S30,- 000 into the new business and have secured a company unequaled in this line. The new scenery and costumes Mr. D. W. Winburn will superintend j are described as simply elegant while the work. j the new transformation scene is un« Mayor Beusse tells us that the ’ surpassable. With the other changes hands he employed to fix up the Broad there will also he a change of tricks, street bridge had to quit because it was dangerous, the structure being in danger of falling down. The dam age by the spring floods was greater than he had thought. It will be nec essary to jack up the timbers and do some extra woik lie had not calculat ed on, thus making the cost some thing more than was at first set apart for the purpose. A Xew Paper. Athens will have n new candidate for public favor soon. Mr. Larry Gantt has sold the Oglethorpe Echo to Messrs. Willingham and McWhorter and will remove to this city where he will become associated with Messrs. Yancey and Cranford in the publica tion of a paper. The first issue will be about October 1st. We extend the right hand of fellowship in advance, to the expected new-comer. Literary. jokes etc., and novelty will be a ruls mg attraction. Let ail our theatre goers prepare themselves for some thing rich during the coming season, and show their appreciation of Man ager Jones, efforts by patronizing each show liberally. Spreading Out, There is evidence of a substantial improvement in nearly every depart ment of business in the city, and several firms are showing their faith in the prospective growth of Athens by putting more money into their business and enlarging their capacity to accommodate the increasing trade. Among others who are acting on this line are Messrs. Baldwin & Burnett, the live shoejmen, whose fine success and growing trade make it necessary that they add to their business a wholesale department to meet the des mands of their customers. To this end they are having the upper story In all the relations of life let truth of their building changed, three rooms be personified—let your word be eqnal to your bond—Skiff. Life is not short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. Self-command is the main elegance— Emerson. Life is too short time, too previous, to let a moment pass unimproved. Look well to your time, have your watches regulated to correct time by Skiff the jeweler—Snooks. The Northeastern Railroad. Special Saturday excursion tickets have been placed on sale by the Northeastern Railroad Company, which offers great inducements to our cilizcrs generally. The tickets are sold at nearly half of the regular rate. Good from Saturday until Monday. It enables our merchants and business men to spend Sunday at the summer resorts of Northeast Georgia, and return Monday morning in time for business. All who can, should avail them selves of this splendid opportunity. Peisonal. We liad a pleasant call yesterday from Capt. A. A. Winn, of Savnn nah, formerly of Athens. The ten years that have elapsed since we took that buggy ride together have not impaired the Captain’s handsome np pearancc, in the least. lie looks like things have gone well with him, since last we met. He is one of the best cotton factors in Savannah, and is now one of the well known firm of Charles F. Stubbs & Co. Persons who have colto-i or commission busi ness in Savannah, wonld do well to consult this firm. Their card will be found elsewhere in the Banner, made into one, so that the whole up per floor will be devoted to the jobbing department. They will carry a full stock and be able to sell as low as any house in Georgia. Already they have had a test of their ability to compete with any other dealer in shoes. A country merchant desiring to purchase a stock tried a Boston shoe man and Messrs. Baldwin & Burnett and found that the latter were able to offer him the best inducements. lie therefore gave them n $1,000 order in prefer ence to the other. These gentlemen arc' conversant with their business, have unsurpassed facilities, arc square in their dealing and are always polite and^ohliging. We advise onr readers to give them a trial and prove our assertions. A Curiosity. Policeman Holcombe has a curiosi ty in the shape of a piece of black •tone ot a slaty nature which is filled with clear and distinct impressions of fem leaves, lie obtained it trom a hoy who has been to Ducktown, Tenn., and while there visited a mine which contained numerous specimens of these stones. This piece was taken out 200 feet below the surface and is wo. th seeing. The hoy says that on some of the stones are pic tures of animal’s tracks and even fi^fc ures of human features. The ferns in the piece Mr. Holcombe has are as perfect as they grow. Of course this is no new discovery Jiiit it is curious and we believe has never been ex plained. Painters in want of supplies such a* while lead, oil, terpintine, varnish es, colors of any kind, either dry or in oil, or paint brushes, would do well to write to B. H. Brooiuhead & Co., At ama Ga. have read with pleasure the very compli mentary notice of myself contained in your issue of 18th inst., and also your editorial endorsement of [the same. Permit me to return both ‘R. S. T.’ and yourself my sincere thanks for kind expressions contained in your respective articles. These articles and the urgent solicitations of, I fear, many partial triends, demand that I should state my positive determina tion in the premises, and that I may not interfere with the claims of others, I agiee with ‘R. S. T.’ and yourself that the growing interest of Athens demands the energies of an intelligent, live and progressive business man as mayor ; hut in comine to this conclu sion, I am also convinced that I am not the man for the position. No man, whose business interests now de- i mands his best energies, can spare proper time and thought for the in terests of the city, and for this reason I must again thank my friends for the honor they would confer, and re spectfully decline the use of my name for this more than ever honorable po sition. Permit mo in conclusion to again reiterate my thanks to friends and the public generally, and to urge them to select a progressive man for the position of mayor of this city. Respectfully, W. D. O’Farbkll. The Supply House. There are many things included under the head of builders’ supplies; hut they are all kept by that mam moth house, B: H. Broomhead & Co., ot Atlauta. Sashes, blinds,^doors, mouldings, brackets, stair-work, paints, white lead, oil, turpeiuiuo, varnishes, colors of any kind, either dry or in oil, and, in short, every thing needed to build a house or to repair one after it is built, can be had of them in any quantity, large or small and as cheap as rel-able goods can be’ had auywhere. Messrs. _ Broomhead & Co. are of the reliable kind—men who won’t put oft' a bad article on a customer, and whose word can be de pended on. With such men, it is a pleasure to deal, and persons at a distance can trade with them as safely and satisfactorily as those who go in person to the store. C. W. Motes & Co. Persons in want of saddles, har ness, saddlery hardware, «fcc, should consult that sterling firm, C. W. Motes & Co., of Atlanta. The senior Mr. C. W. Moles, is well known in Athens, having been a citi zen of this place for many yeais. The stock they keep is largo and varied; their goods are substantial and cheap. Marriage. Mr. E. Bancroft, Jr., and Miss Lucy Epps, both of this city, were married yesterday at Clarkcsville and arrived at home on the noon train to-day. Miss Fpps is the daughter of Rev. W. P. Epps, rector of St. Maty’s church. The family have been spending sometime in Haber sham. Feat for by Te.egraph. The other day, Messrs. Hutchison «& Bro., of Atlanta, received from New York, an order by telegraph, for a bottle of Neuralgine. Somebody who knew its virtues, had neuralgia, and wanted some of the great specific, in a hurry. It was 'shipped by first express. his musical talent. Berry Turner, col. hail two of his ribs broken last week, by falling across a fence. The biggest snake story comes from Madison county. Mr. Ran Glenn killed fifty-two moccasins at one stiot. Who can beat it ? Mr. Tuck has had his engine and gin regulated, and is now ready for the public to bring in their cotton. A young man from the ‘faderlaud’ was told by a friend that a marriage license in this county cost $25 where upon he gave up going to see his girl and resolved never to work in double harness. Mr. Williams, the express messen ger on the Athens branch Georgia railroad has given up his job. His pl*oe is filled by a Mr. Valentine, of Macon. Messrs. Berry Whitworth and Fay ette Kirk were seriously injured last week while repairing Brushy creek church, from a scaffold breaking down. We are glad to learn that the gentle men are recovering. R. T. P.’s face now wears a perpet ual smile, like an overseer’s wages it extends from ‘ear to ear.’.- One can tell at a glance that he has had rain, or a baby has arrived. The latter conclusion is correct, and it’s a girl. A young man from Athens had a difficulty with a citizen of Winterville about a board bill a few days since in which rocks and hammers were han dled rather promiscuously. The Winterville man received a severe blow on the head and has sworn out a warrant for the arrest of his antago nist. The board of roads and revenue of Oglethorpe c. uuty have ordered a new public road to be made extending from the Danielsville road near the res idence of E. L. Johnson to the Winter ville and Athens road near Mr. S. O. Hutcheson. All hands in the district have been summoned to open it on Thursday 25 inst. It will be a great convenience to many parlies below and the most direct road to Athens. RupruBE Cured !—Stricture Cured.—Without the use of the knile or painful means.

Dear Banner:—The party that has been perambulating and gasconad ing among the mountains and vales ot North Georgia, returned on the 15th. They report a good, jolly time’ Owing to the excessive hot weath- er. o-somi-a.i-.j, ciau mey nail me misfortune to lose, by death, a very fine inule soon after they left home, and on their return they lost a capi tal good horse in Nacoochee. The horse was the property of our sheriff, who takes it good and easy, and says that he left the horse to spend the sum mer in the “emerald vale ot Nacoo chee.” A very interesting meeting is go ing on’at Ray’s church under charge of Rev. T. O. Rorie; assisted by Brethren E'lis, Wortham and others. Several have joined the church and many others seem to be in real earn est as regards their eternal peace. The county court of Oconee held its monthly session on Monday, the 15th. The illegal voting eases were called for trial, when the defendants entered a demand on the minutes for a jury to try the sara°. Whereupon the cases were continued by agree ment until the 4th Monday in Sep tember. There are about thirty cases of il legal voting still on the dockets. Col’s A. J. Cobb and L. W. Thomas were both present; one to prosecute to the bitter end the poor unfortunate vo tors; the other to assist in their de fense, We are very hopeful that they will 1» cleared—or rather that the indictments will be quashed. These cases were taken up to the superior court last July, by a writ of certiorari. The certiorari was sus tained by his Honor, Judge Erwin, which we think is virtually a settles mont of tbe cases. The cotton crop which was so fine in this county ten days ago is about ruined—cotton that promised ten weeks ago to make a hale to the acre will not make one halt bale not even if the seasons are favorable.

Broom- head & Co., Atlanta, Ga., for prices and sample card of Johusou’s dry* fixed kaUomine. to say that they appreciated mj^WB- tive and responded liberally. The week was a very pleasant one to me. I was most favorably impressed with the town and the people of the section. Monroe is one of the oldest towns of this portion ot the State and is very pleasantly located. It has a substan tial citizenship, refined society and will compare favorably with any place of its size. The people have a progressive spirit and are alive to whatever will advance its material interests. This is evidenced in several ways, one of the most notable of which is its splen did little railroad connecting with the Georgia at Social Circle. Before this road was built -Monroe was shut off and in danger of drying up. The peo ple determined to build it however, and did so, thus relieving the town of its disadvantages and showing of what stuff they were made. Of the road it self 1 cannot speaic too favorably. It is excellent in every way and I do not see how the Wahon people could do without it. My rides over it were much enjoyed. Monroe has taken on manv imoiove- ments since the road reached there and continues to grow. A hotel was a much needed want in the place and it is gratifiing to know that a large brick building is being erected for this purpose. I met a large number of the citi zens of the county, and a few from the counties adjoining. I find them a solid, energetic, nud for the most part, cultivated people. Of course I had heard before of the excellent character they bore, and I am glad of the opportunity to confirm all the good things that have been said of them, from personal observation. Most of the farmers I saw impressed me as being well to do and high ly moral gentlemen. Of course there are those of a sporting character in all communities, and this feature was developed in Walton by the “horse swapping crowd.” I think I saw more of this class and more horses only fit to be used in this way than ever belore. There is something ex- hileraling in this business and no body can he hurt much. The crop prospects were very good, and yet not flattering. Ram is great ly needed, and there was some com plaint. If a good season can-be had soon the fanners will not suffer very much. of great importance was tried. The most interesting case was that of Smith vs. Bernstein. In this case Col. T. W. Rucker, of Athens, was specially sent for by the defendant and arrived in time to make a speech. This was a capital effort, abounding in good points and telling sentences. Col. Rucker’s reputation as a skilled lawyer and eloquent advocate is al ready established, and he but added to his fame by his speech in this case. W hen cases of a serious aspect or involving intricate points are to he tried, Col. Rucker is in demand, and is known in all the section about Athens. Judge Erwin and Solicitor General Mitchell are sustaining their fine reputations bv their excellent work in their respective offices. I had the pleasure of meeting Messrs. Brown and Walker, of the Vidette and News,respectively. They seem in cheerful spirits, and I suppose are prospering. Court week is usu ally a time to put newspaper men in a good humor. The Banner has many good friends in Walton and the list is increasing steadily. They tell me they like the TALLULAH FALLS D«rs. Tallulah Falls,, Ang. 18th. Dear BannerSavannah, Charles, ton, Union, S. C., Macon, Atlanta, and other cities have been furnishing sight-seers and pleasure-seekers to this attractive spot. Athens also has made a good showing in the contribu tion. Mr. Childs, Prof. Barrow and family, Mr. and Mrs. R, L. Moss and several members of their family, are now I believe the only representatives of the “classic city.” Messrs. Childs and Moss have a fine engine at work a short distance above grand chasm, whose busy whir and stirring whistle, mingle strangely with the unceasing roar of the dash- ing waters below the precipice. This engine, purchased trom your worthy townsman,{Mr. R. Nickerson, is work ing splendidly, propelling a circular saw and planing machine which dress, tongue and groove from eight thous and to ten thousand feet of lumber per day. These gentlemen are pushing vig. oronsly the building of their new hotel, which is to he finished in excel lent style, with the modern improve ments of a first-class hotel. Capt. J. C. Turner is in view of the falls to-day with his surveying corps, and is confident of securing a moat advantageous line for the new railroad. This line passes a point which gives a magnificent view of grand ohasra, and some of the finest scenery of this “Switzerland of America.” Will probably pass directly between the Childs and Moss cottages on the slope of Hickory Nut mountain, and the Young hotel depot to bo located in easy walking distance of hotels and tails. Surveying party cross the river perhaps to-morrow. The completion of this road, and excellent hotel accommodations, added to fine climate and unending variety and beantv ot scenery will make Tal lulah one of the most attractive sum mer retreats of the sunny south. A. Z The Outlaw and the President. Post Appeal. Verily events in this world are hard to understand. Lewis R. Redmond, tho poor mountaineer and outlaw, was the target for six riflemen, and six bullets were lodged in his bt»dy. Sub- seqnently exposed, shut up in jail, with the caro of obscure country phy sicians, and unskillful nursing, he stands to-day a sound man, with the clear red glow of health in his cheeks. James A. Gaifield, President of the United States, was fired at by a single assassin and struck by one pistol bul let. Tenderly cared for, ministered to by the most celebratea masters of surgery, and scientifically nursed every moment, he lies hovering between life and death, with the probabilities fa voring the latter. Redmond lives to go to Albany prison. The man who is needed and prayed for to govern fifty millions of people will probably die.

Tlie Two Hares .Who Took the Advice or a Friend. Detroit FreoPres*. Two hares who were looking for a change of abode happened to meet at the entrance of a den which had been deserted by a wood chuck. ‘I saw it first!’ exclaimed one. ‘No you didn’t. I had my left eye on this place when I saw you with the other.’ ‘Oh! come now—that’s too thin. As I am the elder I shall take pos session.’ ‘Don’t be too sure. As I am the stronger I shall turn you out.’ ‘Come to reflect,’ said the older hare, after carefully scratching his ear, ‘there is no need of a quarrel. Right is right the world over. As we are both sensible hares, 1 think we can come to a jierfect understand ing.’ ‘No doubt we could,’ replied the other, ‘but as there comes the fox, we will ask him to decide between ‘What’s all this row about?’ in 1 qnired the fox as he came up.’ ‘We have a dispute as to which of us is entitled to this vacant burrow.’ ‘Ah ! ha 1 A case of law !
