The announcement of the all open

day’s Banner. The Lucy Cobh Insti
tute is well known throughout the
state, and beyond, for tho high char
acter of its scholarship and the thor
oughness and comprehensiveness ot
its instruction. Under the efficient
management of Miss Rutherford, it
enjoyed a good state of prosperity the
past year, which bids fair to be in

Hold Your Cotton.
There is evidence that the serious
damage to the cotton crop by reason
of the drouth is already haring its
effect in causing the price to advance
just as was the case a week or two
since when the shortness of the wes
tern grain crop was reported. The
staple went up over a half cent in New
York on Saturday and there are those
who think there will be a steady rise.
There is scarcely a doubt but the crop
will be a long way below the estimates
at planting time and in consequence

and efficiency of the faculty, and to vailed
the popularity of the institution.
Miss Basiline Prince, who has
heretofore had charge ol the primary
department, will hereafter teach in
the academic; and her place in the
primary department will be supplied
by a Miss Pearce. As this lady is a
stranger to ourTeadera, it will not be
amiss to say that she is a graduate of
the Normal School in Nashville, and
ha9 had three years, experienco in
teaching. Jt is important that
the primary teaching should be
of the very best kind, and Miss
Rutherford had this end in
view in selecting a teacher. She had
seventy-nine applications for the posi
tion, and out of them all she chose
Miss Pearce, whose recommendations
were of the very highest character.
all respects the faculty is full and
efficient.
Death of Captain Bt-shop.
The friends of Capt. E. P. Bishop
are deeply paiued at his death, which
occurred last night. He was attacked
very suddenly yesterday morning
about eleven o’clock with something
like congestion of the lungs, and the
attack was so violent that he never
rallied. lie had not been sick before
beyond what has been common with
him for years.
Captain Bi-hop was about fifty
years old at his death. He leaves a
family consisting of his mother, wile
and seven children to mourn his loss.
His funeral will take place* tomorrow
at ten o’clock from the Presbyterian
church, and be will be buried with
firctnanic honors.
Getting In His Work.
Bose Duke, ot Jackson county, who
recently received the appointment of
Deputy United States Marshal under
Gen. Longstreet. has begun to de
velop bis talent for the position. He
brought to the oily this morning a
negro man namo Tobe McClesky,
on a charge of selling liqnor without
revenue license. The prisoner
had a - hearing this morning bcfofe
United States Commissioner Herring
ton. It is said to have been a rich
trial, both from the character of the
testimony and the various other cir
cumstances peculiar to the case. Tobe
was placed in jail in default of bond,
Pushing the Work.
Mr. Jndson Jackson, who lives - in
the vicinity of Jug Tavern was in the
city this morning and bought a wagon
load of wheel barrows and other
tools to be nsed in the grading of tbe
Jug Tavern end of the G. J. & S.
railroad. Mr- Jackson and another
man have a sub-contract under Mr.
Sage, who has the contract for the
line from that town to the junction
They are a mile or two out from the
village, and are pushing right along.
He tells us that Mr. Sage himself has
several miles graded from Hosch’s to
wards the line of Jdokson and Hall
coanties.
If you are troubled with fever and
ague, dumb ague, billious fever, jaun
dice, dyspepsia, or any disease of the
liver, blood and stomach, and wish to
g it well, try tbe new remedy, Prof.
nilmette’s French Liver Pad. Ask
your druggist for it, and take no oth
er, and ifhe baa not got it send $1.60
in a letter to the French Pad Co v
Toledo, O., and receive one by return
mail.
There are those who are sanguine
enough to think the price will go to
fifteen cents, and while we can hardly
hope for this we doubt not it will be
not very far below it before the win
ter is gone. In view of this proba
bility then we think farmers should
watch the subject closely and (where
there is a prospect of gain, they should
bold their crops as far as possible. Of
course, all will have to sell some right
away to pay for gnano and other
pressing debts, but we do not believe
they thould rush into market all they
have and get rid of it as quick as they
can. It Is true the less in weight by
holding it, will be something, but we
believe the advance in price will more
than counteract this loss.
If cotton shall go to fifteen cents or
anywhere near it it will serve to re
lieve the situation greatly as regards
the high price of provisions. It may
be too, that it will cause people in the
South to refrain from the suicidal
policy of planting so mnch cotton and
devote more attention to raising provis*
ions. One gentleman remarked to ns
this morning, however, that if the far
mers should get fifteen cents for their
cotton they would go wild over it,
abandoD all their present good resolu
tions as to next year’s crop, and plant
more cotton-than ever. He says they
would not see that tbe high price was
nothing bnt providential interference
to help them out of the consequences
ot their folly and would learn no
wisdom. \Ye do not think this way
exactly, but there seems to be good
reason for the opinion, from the past
conduct of our planter:- We are
prepared to think that there are
many of the best and largest agricul
turists in this state who will devote
more attention to grain hereafter
anyhow. We trust we shall not be
disappointed.
of Oconee.
Ilia subject in tbe rooming at II
o’clock was “a God of pardon.’’ He
proclaimed as a fact that repentance.
never preceded pardon, but always
followed after; that repentance meant
in the kible a turning away from; that
a sinner was in bondage to sin until
pardoned, and hence could not turn
away from his sins and vices until he
was pardoned for them and made a
free man. Many beautiful and strik
ing illustrations were used to make
more clear his arguments. Ho at-
gued very strongly that all that was
necessary for the sinner’s salvation,
had been done; that the sinner could
do nothing to merit pardon; that salva
tion wasafreegift, given without money
and without price; that it was for all,
and that all might be saved and eter
nally dwell in the joyful presence of
the Father, and that the sinner was
simply to be submissive and receive
the pardon offered. I wish I was able
to give you a full synopsis of his scr -
mon delivered at 11 o’clock.
At night he preached from the
text “Behold he prayeth,” which was
an able sermon, and many thought
it better than the one preached in the
morning. He impressed bis congre
gation that prayer was the Christian’s
vital air. We hope that it will not
be long before we will have the pleas
ure of hearing this dear, good man
agaiD.
On Saturday last Rev. C. D. Camp
bell of Athens preached at Mars Hill.
Mr. C. is a fine preacher and quite a
favorite with the Mars Hill congre
gation. The revivals at Ray’s has
closed, about 18 joined tho church,
and the church revived.
Rev. II. J. Ellis, is now carrying
on a protracted meeting with the
church at Salem. We understand
that he is having an excellent meet
ing.
No rain since our last letter, and
the result is'our crops are cut off at
least one third.
We understand that diphtheria, that
dreaded disease, has again made its
appearance in our county, in the
vicinity of Mars Hill church. Sever
al have died with it, and in fact it is
so prevalent that the school in the
neighborhood, was forced to close.
I do trost that it may not be so un
yielding as it was last fall in this
neighborhood. Oconee.

When a man attains the age of one

We heard a preacher say not long
since, that when he entered a certain
church to hold prayer meeting, he
felt like he was in ‘Iceland,’ and that
tbe congregation was a set of mutes,
We would remark that if he thought
it he should not have said it.

A Sad Story.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal has a long
account of the betrayal and desertion
of a young woman who gave her name
as Delia Lavender, and said she lived
between Atheus_and Jefferson. She
went to Atlanta on the recent excur
sion train, in company with one John
Smith, who left her at i boarding
house. The next day, she became a
mother and charged ihe paternity of
her offspring on Smith. A few days
afterward, she contradicted this, and
said that Hamp Cox, of Jackson
county, was the man. Smith has not
been with her since he first lelt her.
It is a sad story. We do not care to
dwell on it, or give particulars.
Geo. C. Thomas, Esq.
We call attention to the law card
of this gentleman who hits been long
engaged in the practice in Watkins-
ville. Judge Thomas occupies a lead

at the Oconee court, and those who
have business in that county will find

as a lawyer and gentleman.
ALIVE IN THEIR GRAVES.
Niobrara (Nab.) Pioneer.
Mr. G. Wiard, who has just return
ed from O’Neil City, informs us that
the two Biglow brothers, who resided
in town for a while this spring before
going to their homestead, near Atkin
son, Holt county, were buried in a
well at that place oil Ui6 28th Ultimo,
by the caving in ot tbe quicksand
through which tbe well had been sunk,
the curbing not being of sufficient
strength to resist tbe pressure. Al
though one was severely injured by
tbe timbers he survived until the Sat
urday morning following, and the
other, who was not injured, lived
until that evening, when their strength
was exhausted and death released
them from misery. Although twenty-
eight feet from the surface of the
ground they could make themselves
beard, and gave directions regarding
the disposal of their property, advis
ing their wiyes, who were sisters, to
go. back to their old home East,
where they would be happier and
more comfortable. There were more
rescuers than could work at one time,
and frequent changes of bauds made,
all being doue that mortals could do,
but of no avail, the brothers being
fully aware that help conld not reach
them in time. They died calmly and
manfully, taking their fate as true
men do. They were exhumed Sunday
and buried the same day.
Intemperance Among Women.
London Cor. Chicago News. m
I deliberately declare fiat in five
weeks and a half in this kingdom I
have seen as many women under the
influence of liquor as 1 have seen men
under like influence within the pre
ceding three years. Nor do these
women drink beer alone; they, as a
rule, drink whisky. I have, in scores
aud scores of instances, seen little
children, late at night, at the saloon
door, ciying for mother to go home,
as in our own land wives plead for
their husbands. At the very threshold
of nearly all the grand ruins of pah
aces, and abbeys, and castles, beer
and whisky keg to be swallowed.
They say you cau smell nothing in a
drug store. The very atmosphere of
Her Majesty’s kingdom is a blend ot
all the liquors that blight her majes

little motherless chicks are in the ya-d

First-class Vehicles aud Work.
We direct attention to the adver
tisement of Mr. D. C. Hurley, who
succeeds to the business of Hurley &
Smith, and who has the old-time
Hodgson stand on Oconee street.
Mr. Hurley does any kind of work in
hisline—makes buggies, carriages or
wagons to order, and does repairing
of any kind. He has been in Athens
long time, and he is noted for doing
honest work; and honest work is of
prime importance. You don’t want
to buy a vehicle just because it is
cheap, if you have to take clicapm
at the expense of quality. When you
buy a buggy or carriage, you want
one that you know will not break
down at some unexpected time when
you are going down hill or trotting
along on a level, and thus endanger
the lives or limbs of yourself and
your family. If yon are not certain
that a vehicle is well-built, strong and
substantial in all its parts, you can’t
trust it, and you don’t want it.
Tbe work done at Hurley’s is the
kind that you cau rely on. He puts
no inferior material iiuo it, and does
not slight it in any respect. He invites
the publio to examine his material
before it is painted. After paint is
put on, soft and sappy wood cannot
be told from the hardest-fibred kind!
We have seen some spokes from wes
tern work which looked well enough
outwardly, but after being broken by
a Blight strain, such as is common on
our rough roads, the shoddy charac
ter ot the wood plainly shows. Many
vehicles which are apparently fine,
are so only because they are painted
and their defects hidden.
Mr. Hurley puts up nothing bat
the beet work, and gnarantees all he
does. His prices will be found as
low as the same quality of work can
be bad anywhere. If yon have any
donbta about this, call on him and in-

Why the Name Was Changed.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle speaking of the
name of Jug Tavern being changed
to Lanra City gives this reason for it
“But they tell a good story on ex-
State Senator A. D. Candler, of
Gainesville^ who is President of the
Gainesville and Jefferson road, which
explains why the change of name was
made. There is a ‘Pan Handle Route’
in the West, and somebody in Atlanta
threatened to call the Jug Tavern road
the 'Jug Handle Route.’ Candler
went right home and had the name
changed.’’
Reunion of the Oglethorpe Rifles.
Yesterday was the dav appointed

sion. We have not received the par
ticulars of the exercises.
