Two.Incidents.
A preacher in extreme north Geor
gia made an appointment to organize
a Sunday-school in a certain "dark
corner,’’ among the mountains. On
the appointed Sabbath he was there,
and so also was a company of children
and youth—many of whom probably
knew no more about religion than
about calculating the time of an
eclipse. Arranging them in good or
der, our preacher began in the usual
orthodox style.
“Who made you he asked ot the
biggest boys. One grinned, another
said "Dunno !” while others remained
stolid and silent. The question finally
passed down the row till it reached
the smallest boy—a squatty little fel
low about five years old. He evi
dently had had training, for when the
question came to him he answered
promptly and triumphantly “Dod !’’
The big boys opened their mouths
and gazed at the infantile Solomon
with mingled awe and indignation.
“And what did he make you out
of?” asked the preacher in a tone ot
sel f-cong ratulat ion.
Mud,” responded the small boy
dogmatically.
Ya-a-as!” drawled one of the big
boys who had been outdoue ; “you
look like a mud lurkle !’’
A few days since we overheard
commercial tourist” talk as follows
to his fellow, on the cars :
“Talking about cheek, I saw, the
other day, the best exhibition ot it
that I ever saw. The car was full aud
I bad a scat on the shady side. I got
up to get a drink of water, and when
I returned, a lady whose scat was on
the sunny side, had taken mine,
suppose that seat will suit you just as
well,’ said she, pointing to the one
she had just left.”
“And what did you say ?” asked
his companion.
"bay ? What could a fellow say
under such circumstances ? I had to
say yes ; but if it had been up Noitb,
I’d have known well what to
say.”
A .New Invention.
Rev. Geo. G. Smith, of Gainesville,
has patented a jonibined walking cane
and auricle. With it a deaf person
can hear an ordinary tone of conver
sation. Those who are slightly so, can
hear a whisper, and many who thought
their hearing entirely gone are able
to hear distinctly. It looks like au
ordinary walking cane, and can be
used ns such. It has, it is said, though
only patented the 23rd of this month
already excited much attention. Rev.
Mr. Smith will answer any questions
on the subject, or he will send a plain
tin cane, painted black and varnished,
to any one for $1.50. Others of finer
quality at higher prices.
Mr. MfLLKR, of Houston, still op
poses everything that has an appro
priation in it. As an opposer Mr.
Miller is a success.

OUR OCONEE LETTER.
Dear Banner :—The revivals
which have been in progress for some
time in different parts of this county,
have resulted in much good to the
church and the Lord in love and mer
cy, through the operations of the Holy
Spirit, has convicted and converted
many souls from the ways of sin and
wickedness to the ways of peace, I
understand that twenty-six have con
nected themselves with the Methodist
church at Salem, during the late re-
vival which has just closed.
Diphtheria is still raging in our
county, especially in the neighborhood
of Mr. J. W. Daniel, and it is proving
ve.r fatal among the children. Mr.
D. lost his oldest child with it on
Tuesday night last, and his other chil
dren are in bed suffering with the
disease. Mr, Young Daniel has one
little boy dangerously ill with it, and
which will perhaps have entered the
peaceful home of the blessed where
no sickness is before this letter reaches
you.
The farmers in Oconee county are
sowing oats on all of the land not in
cultivation, and many of them are
sowing them in their cotton fields.
They seem determined to make
amends as far os possible for their past
folly in not planting more grain in the
spring. If the failnre of the grain crops
in the west should result in forcing
the southern larmers to live at home,
then in my judgment, it will prove a
blessing, at least to this portion of the
country.
T; Rev. H. R. Bernard, of Athens,
preached at the Methodist church
Sunday morning at 11 o’clock and at
night. He is a good mail and an ex
cellent preacher.
Mrs. Dr, Price, of Farmington, is
quite sick. She has been a sufferer
for a long time in consequence of a
fell. We trust that she will soon re
cover and be restored in healih and
strength to her family.
lion. W. W. Price is now at home
in consequence of lib mother’s illness.
We have just heard that the daugh
ter and only childjof R. M. Jackson,
county judge, is very low with diph
theria. She is at Mr. Joel J. Mor
ton's, near Powell mills.

WINTERV1LLE KOTES.
by BErro.
Dog days are over.
Peaches are about gone.
Cotton coming in rapidly.
The legislature will adjourn on
the 23rd.
Mumps aie not at all in demand, but
people are taking them nevertheless.
Rev. T A Harris has closed his
school in Banks county, and is now
with liis family is this place.
Cotton was sold at 12 cents in our
town one day last week. Winterville
is without doubt the best eotton mar
ket in the state.
Messrs. Hutcheson and Jackson
have sold their mill to Mr George
B. Lumpkin of Lexington. They
will have up another soon.
One of Cherokee Corner’s most,
popular young ladies recently lack
ed forty pounds of cotton in three
hours. Who can beat it?
Wintervilie is in a sad need of a
hotel.
Miss Hattie Johnson is spending a
few days in our Ville, the guest ot
Mrs. Thos. Hutcheson.
Married on the 4ih inst. Mr. J A
Falkner and Miss Victoria Winfrey,
both of Madison county, by S W Pat
ten, Esq. May success and happiness
attend them.
A ladies’ foreign missionary society
was organized at Cherokee Corner ou
the 4th inst. The following officers
were elected : President, Mrs. Mildred
Martin; 1st Vice President, Mrs.
Hattie Dozier ; 2nd Vice President,
Mrs. MAE Johnson; Corresponding
Secretary, Miss Mamie Bacon ; Re
cording Secretary, Miss A P Dillard;
Treasurer, Miss Z V Johnson.
Prof. Coile, the popular and effi
cient manager of the Wintervilie
academy, will close his school the lat
ter part of this month. He intends
giving an exhibition and we feel no
hesitancy in predicting that under
Prof. C.’s direction it will be a grand
success.
A Card .
I have this day sold my entire in
terest in the firm of Montgomery &
Bailey to -J. N. Montgomery. In jus
tice to all concerned, I will say that
this early withdrawal from the new
business is from no lack of confidence
in the business itself or in niy'partner,
but I find that the radical change in
ray mode of lite does not suit ms at
all. I have worked in the Athens
Foundry for 24 years, half of Urn time
as foreman ot tho hands, at a fine saK
ary, and I have a longing desire to get
back to the old way. Rather than be
constantly dissatisfied therefore, I
have sold my interest to Mr. Mont
gomery and beg that the liberal pat
ronage we have received maybe con
tinued to him.

Fields or Grain Burnt.
Col. Huggins and Col. Dobbs re
port the worst drouth they ever saw
all the way from heie to Boston. The
former tells us that while he has seen
the woods burnt from the sparks ot a
locomotive before, he never knew of
fields of grain and clovir destroyed.
In South Carolina and in New Jersey
he saw whole fields of this kind burnt
over. In many places farmers bad
'plowed a track ol live to ten feet on
each side of the railroad track to pre
vent the sparks setting fire to their
crops. It is a dreadful state of affairs.

of the legislature from Twiggs ,coun-
ty, died Monday night.
regular terms of which was to bo
held. Excepting the heat the ride
Was very pleasant and I found enough
to attract my attention and keep me
interested. I was no little surprised
to find, when barely beyond the lim
its of Athens, a thriving little town,
alive with the bustle and activity of
the city itself. This was my first
trip on this road and while I had
heard of Barbersville, I did not have
any conception of its size or impor
tance There are auite a number of
stores, residences," shops, etc.,
stretched along the road for several
hundred yards, all built in good style
and painted up attractively. I do not
know the population of the village but
it is a place for Athens to be proud of
as a suburb. Further on and a little
over half way to Danielsville is Dow
dy. This is the country seat of Mr.
J. W. Seymore, one of the substan
tial citiz-ns of Madison and a farmer
of great success. He has attracted
around him a good set of neighbors,
and the post office was established
there for their accomodation.
Arriving at Danielsville, I put up
at Cant. J. A. Green’s, a former rep
resentative of the county in the legis
lature. I found a large crowd in
town. Besides the usual attractions
of court week, there were other things
to draw them, not the least of which
was the meeting in the interest of a
railroad from Danielsville to connect
with the Northeastern. This meeting
was held ou Tuesday at the dinner
hour, and was largely attended. There
were three fine speeches made which
will serve to keep the fires burning
until something is accomplished.
The first speaker was Judge Bowers,
of Bcwersville. As you mentioned
in the Banner recently, the Judge is
deeply interested in securing a line of
road from Hortwellto Athens, and
he thinks the natural course for it to
take is directly from Bowersville,
through Danielsville, and on to the
city. He made a capital speech, full
of sound sense, aud alive with humor
and anecdotes. His judgment on
railroads is not to be discounted, lie
was followed by Capt. II. II. Carlton
in one of his characteristic effort. It
was strong, eloquent, logical and
aroused the people to enthusiasm
over the matter. After this Dr. J.
W. Hardman, ol Harmony Grove,
made a speech which served further
to infuse the railroad idea into the
minds of those present and rivet the
determination to build it as soon as
possible.
It will be a bright day for Daniels
ville when this is accomplished. Un
til a few months ago the town was in
danger of drying up, but the mere
mention of the railroad and the effort
to start it has created a spirit of im
provement already and I was grati
fied to see several new stores and
rcsidencesjbeing erected, and the old
oues being put in better condition.
Among others who are improving
their property is Mr. G. T. Johnson
a liye, progressive merchant, who has
just built. Danielsville is in a fair way
to become a fine town yet, if her
people will keep their eyes wide open
and continue to manifest a proper
energy. The business men of the
town are active and clever aud will
do all in their power. I met several of
the merchants and was well pleased
with them.
THE COURr
Was very busy all the week and
dis|K>sed of considerable business.
Judge Pottle poshed matters right
along and Solicitor General Pierce
was indefatigable. He possesses much
of the talent of his family and is very
popular in his uircuit. lie is faithful
in hiB work. Among the lawyers
present was Col. Gabe Nash, whom
everybody knows that ever oatlended
court in the counties around here.
Notwithstanding his eighty years and
more he bolds his own and is the cen
ter of much attraction. The local at-
torneys,Messrs. Henry,Strickland and
Kinnebrew all stand well and have a
good business before the court. Mr.
Henry has been practicing at Dan
ielsville several years and is known in
Athens. Mr. Strickland is a talented
gentlemen wbo will rise in ^his pro
fession' Mr. Kinnebrew is to take
upon himself the onerous duties of ye
editor of the Yeoman, in connection
with his law practice and I shall look
to see that paper still further im
proved.
I had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Judge G. Ow Daniel,
the Ordinary, Mr. F. B. Scarbor
ough, the Sheriff, aud Mr. S. C.
old and new, and am sure it will al
ways receive a cordial welcome in
Madison. To Capt. Green and his
estimable lady I return sincere thanks
tor their hospitable entertainment.

THE HEIGHT OF IMPUDENCE.
Mr. Editor :—I desire to call the
attention of your readers to the fol
lowing, quoted from the Trade Issue
of the Augusta Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist : “Among the country
totena whose people regard Augusta
as their natural market, we mention
the following: * * * * * *
* * * * Athens, county’seat of
Clarke county &c., «&c.
Now just two criticisms:
1st. In the census report Athens is
classed as the sixth city in Georgia,
and Augusta as the third. So she is
not so much bigger in spite of ’her
boasting.
2nd. The markets for Athens are
the northern and western cities. The
books of the Georgia Railroad show
that there have not been ten car loads
of freight shipped from Augusta to
Athens (except through cars) for over
six years. Take the last week as an
example, and cotton brought more in
Athens than iu Augusta. \Ye can
undersell Augusta at wholesale in
everything except flour.
If the rest of the bray in tho Trade
Issue is as baseless as that above quo
ted. anv “country town” could do as
well. 1 just call attention jo above—
it needs no comment.

Through the kindness of Messrs.

but will push forward, devoting our »epO-wtf
whole time and energies to the service
of our patrons, and endeavor by hon~
eat dealings and fair representations
to increase our business until we can
boast of having at least a share of
the patronage of this entire commu
nity, wo arc ambitious—have splen
did facilities for showing our goods—
excellent salesmen ,to assist you in
making your selections and a stock
of Fall and Winter Goods that must
be seen to be appreciated; take onr
word for it, those who call will not be
disappointed.
Good Goods, Low Prices are our
only specialties, and with a disposi
tion to cater to the tastes of the pub
lic our success is a foregone conclu
sion ; though this season we will make
the greatest effort of our life, and if
we don’t create a furore in the mer
cantile world it won’t be bee?use our
prices are not low enough and our
stock large enough to hold out.. Our
arrangements tor replenishing are
complete, so there is no fear ot the
latter, and the former is a dead sure
thing.
To retain tho high position we
have risen to, it is necessary for us to
buy our goods at the Fountain Head
for Spot Cash, obtain the largest dis
counts known to the trade, and give
our patrons the full benefit of our ex
perience, who are a careful Cash
Paying People, and will appreciate
our efforts to build up our town by
offering inducements to the Farmers
to trade with us, and inducements to
Mechanics and -.Laborers that they
may live better and thrive better than
those of other places.
As our store is Fee to All, none
need hesitate in calling, in fact we in
vite everybody; we want them to see
a line of goods that neither time nor
care was spared in selecting, and we
feel perfectly safe in saying that shop
ping at our store this Fall will be a
real pleasure, for everything is Nice,
New, Novel and extremely reasoned,
lie iu price.
Those wlto have neglected us for a
time, should renew oar acquaintance
as it will be to their interest, those
who are frequent visitors to our store,
we sincerely thank for the past kind
ness, and hope by careful attention
to their orders and strict integrity in
our dea'ings to merit a continuance of
their valued favors.
Respectfully,

Mt. Airy Hotel.
We had the good fortune to stop
at the Mount Airy hotel, and were
much pleased with it. It is unusual
ly well kept. The rooms are neatly
and comfortably furnished,and every
thing about the house is home-like.
Good attention is given to the'gnests,
and everything is done to make th$
visitor feel at home. The dining
room, in its appearance and appoint
ments, is inviting and pleasant. The
fare is excellent and served in appe
tizing style It is no wonder that the
Mt Airy Hotel has been so popular
the past season. It will probably be
more so next year.
A New Track and Depot.
Col. G. J. Foreacre,president of the
Northeastern road, was in the city
yesterday and completed the ar
rangement, which the Banner men
tioned some weeks ago. for building
another track to branch off from the
main one at a point up the road and
to run in near Pulaski street, at the
terminus of which will be built a pas
senger depot. The object of this is to
bring in passengers and all cars loaded
in bulk on the new track and let oth
er freight and cotton cenliuue as at
present.
Col. Foreacre had asked the city to
open a short street between the two
depots and mayor Beusso tells us that
he has just made a very satisfactory
purchase of a 50 foot strip through
the intervening lot which belongs to
Col. A.K. Childs, aud will proceed
at once to make a street there.
Col. Foreacre’s desire is to get
the whole work done before the
road is crowded with business and
stated it as his intention to send one
hundred hands to the city to-morrow
or next day and let them begin
the building of the new track. The
depot will be built as early as possi
ble. This will be a decided improve
ment on the present order of things.
It will give more room and will enable
loaded wagons, drays <fcc., to avoid
the long hills of the present route. .
Called to Duty.
Cadet Lieut. Fred Hodgson, who
has been spending sometime at home
on furlongb, has been ordered to join
bis regiment (the 5th Infantry) in the
West, and will leave on the 10th.
The recent massacre of a- company of
troops by the Apaches makes it nec
essary that all available soldiers shall
go to the scene of action and it is
probable there will be somo heavy
fighting before these unruly savages
are subdued. We wish Lieut. Hodg
son a safe passage through any con
tests be may have with these wild men
and a happy ieturn to his family.
Two Compliments
We reproduce with pleasure the
following complimentry notices ot our
representative, Hon. Pope Barrow,
the first from the Atlanta Constitution
and the other from the Atlanta cor
respondent of the Augusta News :
“The Hon. Pope Barrow deserves
the thanks of Georgia, no less than
Atlanta, for the gallant and able fight
he made in behalf ot a capital that
should be worthy of the state. Mr.
Barrow is in every sense one of the
best representatives that ever come
to Atlanta.”
“1 do not think that any man has a
prettier record for this session than Mr
Pope Barrow, who represents Clarke
county. He is as strong an advocate
as the floor contains, and everything
he does is marked by a candor tbat
contrasts with the usual dodging
of the politician most cheeringly. He
is also notable for his progre9siveness,
believing in doing better than we have,
and in going forward rather than in
decrying every new idea and hugging
the mouldy idols of the past
The finest speech of the session was
bis effort on the question of appoint
ment of the Judiciary by the Governor
Mr. Barrow is yet young and vigorous,
and beforehim seems jo lie a brilliant
career.’’
The constituents of Mr. Barrow
will read with no small gratification
the golden opinions thus expressed
of his course in the legislaturejtnd will
feel a just pride in being represent 1
ed by so talented a gentleman. We
congratulate him and them.

To Asa XL Josksou, Ordinary of said county
and state: ... .
The undersigned citm-ns of said state and
county, Olid of the 216 District, G. XL, re
spectfully showeth that it would be a great pub-
tic oouvenicnee, and for the good of the puhli,
is necessary, to have anew militia district laid
ont in said county, to be composed of u portion
of the northern and western part of the 216th
district, (known as the Athens District' of said
county. The lines of said new district to run
about as follows: .
Beginning at the point where the city limits
of Athens creeses the Jefierson road (near Mr.
John Talroaage’s). thence with said city limits
to whore it croescs the Oconee river -near Dr.
Linton’s ploer. Thence npsaid Oconee rivrr
to where the Jackson and Clarke county line
crosses said Oconee river; thence wcstwardly
with said Jackson and Clarke county line to
where itstnace *he TaUasee bridge road, at a
large black gun., thence with said Tallaaee
bridge road to the site of the old Tallaaee
bridge—being a short distance below the pres
ent bridge—on the Middle Doonee river, (gen
erally called the Middle river.) Thence down
the aaid river, to Mitchell’* bridge—where the
Lewrcncevillo road crosses said river; thence
eastward!}- with said road and along it® north
ern edge to its intersection with the Jefferson
road, near the High School; thence with said
Jefferson road to the beginning point it the
city limits -and your peutioners pray that all
the necessary legal step* be taken, by Your
Honor, to have stud district laid ont and estab
lished as one of the lawful militia districts of
aaid state and county, and that when so laid
out it be known as Keune- District, No. —th
District, G. M., Clarke connty, Ga., and that
the court ground be established at some con
venient point therein, and we suggest sad re
quest that Mr. Joe Kenney’s place he selected
os it is both central and convenient, etc., aud
we will ever pray, etc, ^Ms^, 1681
The Good Templars.
The last meeting of Evans LoJge
ot Good Templars was a very inter
esting one. Three new members
weie elected and the applications of
fourteen others were received and re
ferred to the proper committee. The
Lodge already bas some excellent ma-
terial in it, and is getting in some
more.
We are told by an old citizen that
about twenty-five years ago a woman
died in the same house in which Mrs.
Fitzpatrick died, under very similar
circumstances, though the former case
was not so horrible in its details as
this later one.
Large Addition.
We are gratified to state that Mr.
Cabaniss secured a very large addir
tion to our subscription list, while at
Madi-on county court. Among otb
era, were an entire family, compria
ing a father and his four sons.
Grain is flowing into Baltimore so
font from the West that nothing can
be done with it. The wheat there is
held largely for speculative purposes,
aud cannot be moved. All places of
storage are filled, and thousands of
cars are standing on the track which
cannot be unloaded, the elevators be 1
ing already crowded.
Don’t use whitewash to cleanse
your rooms, but if your ceilings or
walls arc soiled, write to B. H. Brooms
