A little cotton comes in every day. With' the first of next month will begin the rush. A good time to guard against fe« vers. To that end beware .the late water-milyun. Willie Dorsey, who has been sick about two weeks, is up and rapidly convalescing. Hon. Janus M. Pace, of Coving ton, who ought to succeed Blount in Congress, is in the city. Hon. Pope Barrow presided when the House went into committee of the whole to consider the appropriation to the cotton exposition. Gen. Win. M. Browne presided at the opening of tho session of the State Sunday School Convention in Griffin ami also responded to the speech of welcome. The Walton County News says: “Mr. M. C. Cab-miss, Agent for the Athens Banner, paid us a visit last Fiiday. He did well for his paper, and we are glad of it.” 1 >r. B. M. Thompson, ol Madison county was iu the city to-day. He reports that there has been a good deal of sickness in his county this summer but there is less just now The crops he says, have suffered greatly in the last two or three weeks. Tho dtonlli has been more severe than he has ever known. An up-country man who has just had twin boys born to him, wants a reliable cure for son-stroke. Mayor Beusse informs us that he has lumber ordered and our sugges tion about the street crossings will be adopted. All of them will be placed in good condition before winter. The brick work on Reaves, Nich* olson <& Co’s new store is being fin ished up and the hands, will go to to the warehouse walls which have been neglected for three or four weeks. Mr. Barrow’ has introduced a num ber of bills in the legislature and we believe most of them have passed muster or will do so. The latest one by him is a bill to prescribe the man ner in which insurance companies shall make returns to the Comptroller general. Judge W. B. Thomas came home Saturday night. He has been gone lor the most part of two months, in the interest of the city in her railroad relations, and he speaks very hope fully ot the future. Tom. Ilubbard, the yonng culprit who was caught in Mr. Lafferty’s store plead guilty this morning before J udge Cobb and . was sentenced to twelve months irf the chain gang. It is to lie hoped this will have a salu tary efl'ect on Tom. . Rev. RW Bigham and his daught er have ret nrned home after several weeks sojourn at Rhea Springs, Tenn. Passengers by the Northeastern tell us that the fields between this city and Lula are white. Nearly all the cotton is open. Judge Erwin and Sol. Gen. Mitch ell have this week for rest, there be ing five Mondays in this month. Gwin nett court convenes next Monday. Two young men direct from Gcr many arrived in the city to-day. They are from Posen, the same prov ince that Mr. Moses Myers came from. They cannot speak English at all. Tlio-o who havo been through South Carolina recently report the condition of the crop* as wretched all along the lines of railroad. The drouth l as been mos’. severe and in some places the cotton is ruined, The new goods are rolling in on every train and the indications are that our merchants, wholesale and res tail, aro£preparing for an increased trade this fall and winter. The impor tance of Athens as a commercial cen ter is growing every year. * Pioneer Hook & Ladder compa ny will meet iu their new ball for the first time next month.

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 creased the cotniug ses-ion. In asso ciating with her, her accomplished 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 sister, Mrs. Lipscomb, the pi incipnl there is bound to be a little better has added no little to the strength price than would have otherwise pre' 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. Hard winds last Saturday and Sun day. Miss. Lucy Lowe, of Oconee county, is visiting her sister, Mrs Anthony, of this place. Nine bales ot new cotton sold at this place last Saturday. Mr. Tkos. Hutcheson had his shirt sleeve torn off at tho shoulder last Friday while regulating his gin. The farmers of this section say that their crops are cut short one half. Mr. John WiDter left for Atlanta last Sunday, where he will spend sev eral days in buying bis tall Block ot goods. It is an established fact that the only disease to which you may not a second time be liable is the one that kills first. The opening of the new road be tween E L Johnson’s and S O Hutch inson’s, was postponed on account of unlawful proceedings. The comet was seen by us first on Sunday night, Aug. 20tb. Mr. R H Mathews’ little child was badly burned a few days since while playing around a pot. Dog raising is increasing to an alarming extent in this community. The night train on the Athens branch was delayed last Friday on account of a cylinder head being blown out instead of a flue, as “ye ed” had it last week. An Ohio man has struck a new idea. He has grafted a lemon on to a watermelon vine and raised melons filled with lemonade. Since the store of Messrs. Winter, Hutcheson & Bro., has been remod eled, it shines like new money, ami people will always find these gentle men kind and accommodating to their customers. When a man attains the age of one hundred, he may be termed “XC- dingly” old. 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. What three figures multiplied by four make five ? ert C. Bailie. They will carry on that all-comprehensive business which the senior has been doing for so many years, and which has made bim one of tbe leading merchants of Augusta. The house of James G. Bailie & Sons is one of the strongest and best in the state, and persons who want to trade to the best advantage should call on or write to them. Mr. J. J. Logue, the boss carpet and furniture uphol sterer is now with James G. Bailie & Sens, and adds himself and carpet ex hibitor to tbe attractions of the estab lishment. 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 ing position among those who practice at the Oconee court, and those who have business in that county will find in bim a safe and efficient attorney, tie is well known and highly esteemed 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 ty’s subjects and fill her treasury. Hatched by the Sun. Salisbury (N. C.) Watchman. An old hen in this town set for two weeks on thirteen egg*, but became disgustei during tbe heated term and quit her nest. A week afterwards the deserted eggs showed life, and nine little motherless chicks are in the ya-d hatched out by the heat ot the weath er. and the hen refuses to own or scratch for them. The Irishman has his brains close to his lips.

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- Jaefcson County News. Jefferson, GA.,Aug. 26, 1881.

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.
