A Lodge of Good Templars.
A lodge of Good Templars was or
ganized in Athens night before last,
and the following officers were el
ected:
\V. C. T.—Rev. D. C. Oliver.
W. Sec’y.—J. E. Gardner.
W. F. S.—J. T. Waterman.
W. M.—J. H. Stone.
W. C.—Rev. E. D. Stone.
W. T.—W. S. Christy.
W. O. G.—Geo. E. Stone.
The lodge started with twenty-two
members. It was resolved to give it
the name of the lodge which was
formerly in Athens—“Evans Lodge,
No. 96.” Rev. D. C. Oliver was
elected representative to the Grand
Lodge, which meets in Louisville,
Ga., next Wednesday.
This movement has begun under
lavorable auspices. The body con
tains several who were members of the
old lodge some years ago, and who
hope that this will rival that in pios-
perity. We are informed that that
lodge numbered about 400 members,
and that great good was accomplish
ed by it. It is said that the diminu
tion in liquor consumption m Athens
was appreciable after the former
lodge got to work in good earnest.
There are many who do not co
operate with such movements be
cause they regard them as transitory.
Whether they be so or not, it is sus
ceptible ot proof that they have done
great good; and we do not see how
any person who believes in temper
ance and sobriety, can refrain from
aiding them all in his power. If halt
the people in Athens who ought to
do so, will sustain this movement. It
will do incalculable good.
The next meeting will be next
Tuesday night at llnnnicutt Hall,
large addition io the membership is
hoped for.
of country, and desire for greater
prosperity, it seems to us, should move
our business men, manufacturers^nd
and property holders to see that a
creditable show is made, so that the
world may see and know what we can
offer to induce capital to come amongst
us for investment. Mr. Kimball, in his
appeal which we published in yester
day’s Banner, put the matter in such
strong light as ought to bring about
the desired object. As he says the
eyes of the world will be upon Geor«
gia ami more will be dono by this
exposition to give her an upward im
petus, to bring her hidden resources
to the light and make them a source
of wealth than any thing that has oc
curred in years. The tact that the
parsimony of the legislature has de
nied the appiopriation asked for to
give the state a creditable appearance
in the exhibition is all the more rea
son, as Mr. Kimball shows, why each
county for itself should take the sub
ject in hand at once and arrauge a dis
play that will redeem the disgrace of
the commonwealth and serve the pur
pose for which the money was desired.
Athens and Clarke county have
great interests at stake in this matter.
It is absolutely necessary for their
best interests that a good show shall
be made. Now i9 the opportunity to
take the tide at the flood and ride on
to fortune. If it is lost it will uot come
again aud it will amount to the loss ot
thousands of dollars in the end. But
somebody will say that to got up a
proper exhibition will cost a good deal
of money. Suppose it does. Did
anything valuable ever come without
the expenditure ot money ? And this
investment will come back in returns
of thirty, sixty and a hundredfold to
every man who goes into it, in. the
appreciation of his property and busi
ness. There are those who object to
Mr. Kimball and say that the exposi
tion is a money making machine for
private individuals. We know noth
ing of this but we do kuow it will
prove a developer of Georgia, and is
headed by one of the finest developers
we ever knew. Whatever else may
be said of Mr. Kimball his expend!
turcs ot monev are usually beneficial
to the public. This exposition is go*
ing to be a grand thing in all depart*
ments and this city and county should
begin at once to get together an ex
hibit that will be creditable and at
tract the attention of those who
seeking places of investment for sur
plus capital Will it be done ?
on by starvation. Mrs. Fitzpatrick
was the wife of John Fitzpatrick,
whom we only know from the evidence
given to the jury, but judging from
this, he is a man, who scarcely pos
sesses a human heart, so brutal and
abandoned does it make him appear.
The family lived on Bridge street,
near the river. From the testimony
of the several witnesses sworn we get
these facts: John Fitzpatrick had
failed or refused to provide ,his wife
with anything to eat for several
weeks, and she being in a feeble con
dition had been compelled to beg for
such things she could eat. Mr. Wiley
F. Hood had supplied her on several
oecasions, knowing that he could not
hope to get any pay from Fitzpatrick
She had also done a little sewing for a
lady in the city, and with the little
money she got lor this had managed,
to subsist, until she finally became too
sick and weak to w'ork at all. All of
this time her husband treated her in
a most brutal manner, and not only
failed to supply any thing to eat but
required her to cook amt work for
him while sick.
lie also refused to see a doctor
about her and even the night before
she died he sat the bed and cursed
her and said Bhe ought to die. The
neighbors helped her occasionally,
but their ministrations came too late.
Dr. J. M. Carlton who saw her Baid
she had contracted intermittent fever
and that be prescribed for her, but
it was shown that she never received
any medicine, her husband refusing
to give it to her. She drank -consid-
able water on Friday night and it is
thought, congestion was produced.
Her death occurred late Saturday
evening.
^Ve shall have more to say of the
matter to-morrow and will give some
of the testimony. It is certainly one
of the most horrid affairs that ever oc
curred in this city.
the fine, bracing atmosphere which
caused them to feel decidedly muscu
lar and heroic. They “fout” and they
scratched and they bit, but beyond a
few marks of finger nails and teeth ;
no special harm was done, and the
combatants were taken in by the police.
The other fight was between two
small colored bovs, one of whom
called the other an ugly name and
third who was a spectator offered the
insulted lad a small sum to go down
the street and avenge outraged honor.
The offer was accepted and the fight
took place, but more tears than blood
was shed and alter some strenuous
efforts the battle was assuaged.
More Revenue Prisoners. .
^ Bose Duke, the new deputy' mar
shal of Uncle Sam in this part’of the
State is waking things up and making
it lively for the violators of the revenue
laws. This morning he brought in two
more prisoners, Bob Story and John
Tate, both colored, from Jackson
county, for selling liquor without a
license. They were tried before Com
missioner Herrington and bound over
to the U. S. Circuit Court. They
were represented by Col. Mahaffey, of
Jefferson.

ported to us it was through his own
caieless handling of a match. He was
preparing to run the gin at night and
going to the door of the house he
struck a match on the door facing to
light a lamp. There was lint clinging
to the edges of the door and the sides
of the house and as quick as thought
the fire communicated to[this and ran
in a rapid blaze all around the room.
It was so quick that Mr. Mathews
could do nothing to stay the flames
and the whole building was soon on
fire. The house, gin, press and six or
eight bales ot cotton were consumed,
the only thing saved being the engine
which was with difficulty rolled out of
reach of the fire. This was a severe
blow to Mr. Mathews, who is a young
man and was just making a successful
start in life. We did not learn the
estimate of his loss, though u must be
$1,500 or $2,000. Nor do we know
whether he had any insurance. Such
things as this are most unfortunate
and it does seem that it is time men
were learning to be careful in the use
of fire around loose cotton. It
enough to lose ginhonses by the act
of fiendish incendiaries. Owners of
such property should at least keep it
well insured.
A Palatable DLsb.
One of the most appetizing dishes
that can be placed before a hnngry
family, and which may tempt the ap
petite of one who isn’t hungry,
made in this way : Take one dozeu
ears of corn, grate it, stir in four eggs,
one fourth of t cup of flour, a little
salt, and fry in hot lard ; if the corn
is not milky, add a little milk or cream
This is next to fried oysters, and is a
good substitute in August.

To Asa M. Jackson, Ordinary o** said county

The undersigned citizens of said state and

Sensible Views on Railroads.
Judge W. F. Bowers, of Bowers-
ville, one of the most prominent citi
zens of Hart county, is in the city
and gave us a cal! this morning. He
is alive on the subject ot railroad con-
nection.betwcen this city and Harts
well and is very anxious to see some
systematic movement for bringing it
about. His ideas tally very much
with those frequently expressed in the
Banner of late, and we are disposed to
say his head is level. As ho puts it,
Athens is the natural market and the
most convenient for the people of
Hart, Franklin, Madison and the
upper part of Elbert counties, as it is
also for the more northern counties.
The present generation of the popula
tion of these counties has grown up
with Athens, as it were,and have come
to look on her as the centnl market
of this section as well as the cheapest.
These things being so, the general sen*
timents of the people favor Athens,
and they are anxious for this narrow
guage railroad. The outlets over
there are very good as far as they go
but they don’t suffice. The people
want to come to Athens, and will do
so, it they can receive proper encour
agement. They are ready to do their
share towards building it, but want
Athens to stand up and take a band
too.
These views of Judge Bowers are
sensible and to the point. He savs he
is a ‘narrow guage’ man, but it is cer
tainly not in his mental calibre, for
while he is favorable to narrow guage
railroads, it is with broad guage ideas.
We should be glad to know that our
monied men would encourage the
Judge in this matter and help him to
set on foot a plan for the eventual
building of the road.
