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. Oconee. 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. Thomas Bailey. 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.

Miss Evans, Louisville, G W V T. Miss Jennie Gay, Henry county GWT. J G Thrower, Atlanta, G W S. Acworth was selected as the place of the next meeting. Our merchants are preparing their advertisementa'now for the Banner, and in a shot t time we shall be able to spread before our readers a list of new goods in all lines, of every style and description, that will delight the eves and gratify the hearts ot those who wiah'to find out where to get bar gains. Mr. James T. Glover, member 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. M. C. O. 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. Athens. Lust Year's Receipts. Through the kindness of Messrs. Moss & Thomas, we are enabled to give the cotton receipts at Athens from Sept. 1st, 1880 to Sept. 1st, 1881, which are as follows : 37,598 5,150 OUR SIXTERYTH a.mveusary. Hard work, untiring efforts to please the public iutve gained for us an enviable record. Still we’re not proud, and don’t rest on onr laurels, per btuhei. 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.

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. GEORGIA, Clarke Coujtv. 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.
