The merchants are now busy open ing up their fall stocks ot goods. The melon colic days will soon be o’er. Bob Yerby says that ho cut a wa termelon the other day that had seed in it that had sprouted and had two leaves on them. Wintervillo needs a public well. Two of Mr. D. H. Winter's hands quit him the other day to go and help grade the new railroad,commencing at Lula. Their places are filled by Messrs. Roberson and Sherby. The girl baby crop in this section is exceedingly prolific this year. The drought has not yet been felt. The fleecy staple is being rapidly prepared for market. Col. L. G. Johnson and L O. Hutcheson, who are now traveling through Florida, give a glowing ac count of the Land of Flowers. They had reached Palatka when last he:ird from, and expected to remain there for some time. We learn that Messrs. T. T. and W-. B. Chandler intend moving to Oconee county next year. They will r-rrv with them the best wishes of a host ot friends in Oglethorpe.and Oco nee may congratulate herself upon gaining two such citizens. Our merchants hr.ve all returned from market and new goods are com ing in with a rush. • Do Your Duty.

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. FROM McNUTT. McNutt, Ga., Sept., 3 1881. Mrs. W. R.

There is a gentleman not a thou sand from Athens, who is such an ardent Presbyterian and so classic in his tastes that be taught all of his children the Shorter Catechism Latin A Uinhonse Burnt. With the cotton season comes the inevitable danger of the loss of gin- houses by fire, and we have to report to-day the first of the season in this .section. Mr. B. T. Mathews, of Jack- son county, is the unfortunate gontle- man and his loss is very heavy. Ho had just succeeded in fitting up an excellent steam gin and press, with a are view of ginning his neighbors’ cotton as well as his own and had been run ning it but a short time. Monday night it was burned down and as re 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.

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. GENUINE RUST PROOF Seed.
