METHODIST MEETING.
Dear Banner For the past two
weeks a protracted meeting has been
in progress at the Methodist church
in Watkinsville. Though the preach
ers have preached and labored zeal
ously, and the membership seemed to
be very much revived and earnest in
their work, yet the meeting so far as
man can see has been a failure. Up
to this writing no one has joined the
eburch, and but two have asked the
church to pray tor them. The cause
of this seeuiiug indifference is a prob
lem which we are unable to solve,
-sonic attribute it to one cause and
some to another; but be the cause
what it may, sinners have not been
converted. Rt v. H. J. Ellis pastor
has been assisted by Revs. J C John
son, T O Rorie, L \V Downs and N
Wortham. Dr. Landrum also preach
ed here on Friday. The meeting will
close Sunday night and I tear to the
eternal doom of some.
NEW BAPTIST CHURCH.
The lumber for the new Baptist
church has been sawed and is row ready
to|be delivered,and doubtless in a abort
time there will be erected in Watkins-
ville a neat and comfoatabe house of

ILLEGAL VOTING.
This morning the county court of
this county convened for the purpose
of trying the illegal voters, but in view
ot the fact that James A Garfield,
president of the United States, whom
we had learned to love and to honor,
had recently died from the effects ot
the assassin’s bullet, and that Presi
dent Arthur had called uimn the na
tion to set apart to-day as a day of
mourning and humiliation, the conrt
took a recess until Wednesday the
5lb of October next. Some very in
teresting and appropriate remarks
were made by the local attorneys and
also by Messrs. Andrew J Cobb and
L W Thomas, of Athens, after which
the court and the attorneys went to
the church where religions services
suitable to the occasion were conduct
ed by Rev. John C. Johnson.

Athens Again Iu Souraing.
At noon Monday, the stores iu town
were closed, and the fronts were again
in mourning. A flag hung at halt
mast over Cohen’s store; an immense
flag at Bloomfield A Stanford's was
draped in black; aud in various parts
of the city smaller flags were similarly
displayed. A constant tolling was kept
un by the bells of the different
churches, and a sabbath-like solemnity
pervaded tho city.
SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
Thursday was a gala day iu Win-
terville. Prof. Coile held his exami
nation in the morning, and though not
present, we learo that his scholars all
acquitted themselves with credit.
Iu the afternoon the school-boys
played a game of ball with a picked
nine from our base ball club, and det
tested them by a score of 12 to 8.
The exhibition at night attracted a
large crowd. Early in the evenimj
visitors began to arrive anti by 7
o’clock, the church, which had been
selected for the performance, was fi led
to oveifloWing. The music for the
occasion was furnished by Mrs. Zillah
Hutcheson and Mr. G. T. Murrell and
was beautiful as well as appropriate.
Several prizes were offered for the
best declaimers iu the different classes
and Rev, A. W. Williams, Mr. F. II.
Kroner and Mrs. D. A. Anthony
were selected as judges. The pro
gramme was skillully arranged and
very interesting. “The way to Jiio.
Smith’s,” and “The Train To morrow,’’
after raising a perfect uproar oflaugh-
ter would be followed by such pieces
as “Hayus on the South,” and
“Webster ou the Union,” and thus
from gay to grave and vice versa, the
audience were both pleased aud inter
ested duriug the whole pcrlbrmance.
Where so many did well, it would
be unjust for us to discriminate. It is
enough to say that the acting aud
speaking, both alike, reflected credit
upon the scholars themselves, as well
as upon their competent and efficient
instructors, Mr. W. M. Code and his
sister Miss Mary.
The exercises closed at 11 o’clock,'
and the judges, after retiring forx few
minutes brought in their report and
through Rev. A. W. Williams deliv
ered the prizes. Mr. Jas. S. Eberhart
received the prize among the larger
boys, and Master B as com W. Murrah
among the small. Ot the girls, Miss
Lizzie Winter received one of the
prizes, and Miss Leila Winter, one ot
the youugest girls iu school, the other.
Mr. Frederick Allison was given the
prize for scholarship, and Master W.
Chessly Baruett the one for deport
ment duriug the year.
Just belore the amlieucu was dis
missed, Mr. Thos. Hutcheson cam*
forward aud in a few appropriate re
marks in bekalt ot the school,
presented Mr. Coile with a handsome
gold pen and staff. Mr. Williams
also presented Miss Mary Coile with
a beautiful pair of vases, given by her
scholars. Both presents were
cieved unexpectedly, and after return
ing their thanks to the children for
these tokens of affection and also to
tho audience for the perfect order
observed during the evening Mr. C.
closed the exercises.
We trust it will not be the last of
its kind in our village. Not only do
such exhibitions excite a spirit of lau
dable ambition among the scholars
but they tend to draw teacher and
pupils nearer to each other, and the
efforts made to excel on this minia
ture stage will - strengthen and pre
pare them for higher, and nobler
achievements. .
after a prayer of thanksgiving for the
blessings of the past year and the ro-
turn of another anniversary, a lecture
was delivered. In this lecture Rev.
Mr. Levy spoke of the new year, of
the pleasant memories it recalled and
the hopes it inspired (or the future.
He could look forward in imagination
to the next anniversary that should
come and ( see the temple rebuilt and
himself officiating before its sacred
altars. His references to this occasion
were very pleasing.
In speaking of President Garfield,
whose death was mourned the world
over, he paid a glowing tribute to his
life and character and exalted his
memory in the hearts of the people.
'Kadesh’ is a sacred word among the
Jews, and is only used by those who
have near and dear relations dead.
It is a beautiful custom among
them when that a son who has
lost a father, a brother, a sister
or other similar bereavement
occurs, the surviving relative on the
day of the death aud on each suc
ceeding anniversary pronounces the
word ‘Kadesh,’ which means a wish
tor the rest of the departed soul. Iu
alluding lo the dead President Mr.
Levy used the word ‘Kadesh’ which
expressed as much as auylhing could
the deep feelings ot the Jewish people
in legard to this sad event. The ser
vice was of a most interesting charac
ter. We will have something to say
of other services iu Monday’s paper.
real facts in regard to the shooting.
His name is Solomon Dooly, a noto
riously bad rascal, who is wanted in
this city to setve out a sentence of
the mayor’s court, he having made his
escape while working on the streets.
It seems that he went to Centre
from here and was employed by a
young man named John Mathews to
work in the field. Mathews is a small,
puny man, who Las consumption. On
the day ot the ahootiug the negro got
mad with him and began to abuse
him, and when Mathews said some
thing to him, he threw a rock striking
the former on the arm, whereupon he
raised his gun and let fly with a load
of bird shot. The shot did not stagger
him, aud he ran after Mathews and
would have* kilted him bat for the
presence of auother man who stopped
him.
These facts explain why Dooly keeps
hid out ami did not ccme up and have
his wounds dressed properly. The
city is glad to be rid of him but if he
comes here again he will be taken in
tow.

The new store of Mr. R. G. Gray
and Mr. A. Colemau at Young’s old
stand was opened this morning for the
first time, and their stock displayed to
tlie inspection of the public. These
gentlemen need no introduction iu
Albena. Mr. Gray’s well known busi
ness tact, polite manners and fair deal
ing will induce all his old customers
to call and see him, and lie will be
well pleased to serve them. Mr. Cole
man has long conducted a store on
Prince Avenue, aud has made many
friends. The stock ot this new store,
while uicely displayed and very hand
some is not complete yet, and new
goods will continue to arrive con
stantly until the house is full to over
flowing. In a short time an auction
business will be started.
We cannot tell all they have in
stock, but Mr. -Gray himself will do
this through the Banner’s columns in
one of bis old style and inimitable
advertisements, which used to be so
attractive. Watch out for it and call
at the store.
who take elm ae of the matter should
be piompt aud push it at once while
the people are senstive to the noble
generosity of the good man wbo has
come to their aid. If the matter is al
lowed to die out of the minds of those
able to do something, it may be very
diffioult,perhaps impossible, to secure
the requisite amount. We believe
properly directed effort now will ac-
comolish the desired end.
We have no special scheme to sug
gest for raising the money. The wis.
eat friends of the institution should
confer together aud settle upon some
plau. It seems to us that the quickest,
simplest and most promising scheme
would be to appoint a committee ol
popular, active and judicious persons,
sav of three men and three alumnss of
the Institute to call on every person
able to give anythiug and see what
can be done. It might be well to first
call for voluntary contributions and
after these were exhausted, let the
commit! ee go out. Either plan or any
other wiil do which proceeds at once
and is at all p'ausible.
We hope entertainments will not be
tiied yet awhile. These have been
very fine heretofore and have accom
plished some good results, but if peo
ple are disposed to aid in the matter
they will give more than fifty cents or
a quarter, and if uot they will hardly
attend the coucerts merely to contri
bute to the fund. These can be given
after awhile however, after the other
efforts have been made.
We trust there will be no delay.
Athens owes it to herself and her fu
ture prosperity to raise this $4,000
proraDily. She owes it to Miss Nel
lie Stoval, whose noble and unselfish
effort has made it possible to secure
enough for ihiB purpose. She owes it
to the Mr. Seney whose offer is most
liberal, and ahould not return to him
unappreciated.
bouse. These will cost in the neigh,
borhood of 810,000 and we predict
they will pay handsomely from the
first. Such improvements as these
are worth a great deal to the city as
well as the owners themselves, and
tend to encourage others to do like
wise. We should be glad to record
numerous other such material ims
proveraents.
A Candidate for the Chainsang.
A geutlemau from Oconee county
was in Athens to-day inquiring if
there had been any stealing about the
city recently for which the thief was
wanted. He stated that a negro who
goes by the name ol Abe McClendon
with the aliases, Abe Gluts aud Abe
Jackson, bad been staying around bis
neghboriiood for several days, driving
a fine horse and buggy, dressed in
good clothes and boasting of having
plenty of money. He had several
ten and twenty dollar gold pieces, be
sides a quantity ot greenbacks and
silver. The gentleman is satisfied he
stole these things, but had not heard
of any body losing them.
The greatest mystery is the horse
and buggy, as no loss of this kind
has been reported in this section. The
suit worn by the negro when he saw
him was of nice blue flannel, and it
may be the suit Mr. T. P. Oliver
lost. It is possible the theft was
committed iu some other part of the
state or even outside. Abe should be
watched.

A youngster, a mere lad, who had
contrived to earn money enough to
start to college, while journeying afoot
to tho seat of learning, lost his pocket-
book—an old leather one and all its
contents—$10. A five dulUr bill wns
iu his trousers pocket. The boy said
‘he was looting it up the road, aud as
the day was hot be took off his coat
and carried it on his arm, taking
good care to feel every moment or
two for the pocket-book, for the hard
earned $15 was to pay bis entrance fee
to the college. After a while he got
to thinking over what college life
would be like, and forgot all about
the pocket-book fo<* some time, and
when he looked again-found it was
gone. He went back mournfully
along the road hunting on both sides
for the pocket-book. After a while
be came to a house where a young
man was leaning over a gate, and
who asked him when be came up what
he was hunting for.’ The lad ex
plained his loss, and described the
property, when the young man handed
it over. The boy who lost the pocket-
book was James A. Garfield. The
young man who found it was named
Bli-s. And thus the futuru President
of the United States met the man
who was to have such a tragic expe
rience with biin. Perhaps if Bliss bad
not found the money, Garfield might
never have been President, and the
Doctor might never have signed bul
letins that nsd Garfield for the hero,
surrounded by a professional and affec

match in the tide of rimes. ‘

the inter-vertebral space in the right
side, between the last dorsal and the
first lumbar vertebra, at a point very
near the fan-verse and oblique pro
cesses ; that is obliquely from behind.
It passed a little downward and for
ward, penetrating the body ot the first
lumbar vetebra, escaped from the
vertebra very near the middle in
front, and was found a little to the left
of the body of the vertebra, lying un
der the lower margin of the pancreas
and nearer its posterior or aspect than
interior, behind the peritoneum, and
therefore outside the cavity ot the
belly. The ball was encysted, com
pletely surrounded by a firm capsule,
which invested it entirely and closely,
the capsule containing nothing bat
the ball. Perhaps a grain or two of
white tenacious substance attached to
one point of its inner surface which was
not easily removed by the edge of the
knife, and which may be found under
the miscroscope to consist of a drop of
tlessiccated pus,or it may prove to be
the leaden stain occasioned by the
oxidation of the surface of the ball. It
also contained a small fragment of
black material, perhaps three-quarters
of an inch in length and an eighth of
an inch in breadth, which under the
miscroscope may prove to be a piece
of cloth, but the exact character of
which has not vet been determined.
‘Perhaps distant one or two inches,
and in this neighborhood there could
be felt distinctly under the finger in
numerable small substances, like
grains of sand, of greater or less mag
nitude, which have not yet been sub
mitted to microscopical examination,
but which were supposed to be min
ute fragments of bone torn away from
the broken vertebra and thus widely
disseminated in the adjacent tissues.
The blood sac was behind the perito
neum but the autopsy revealed that it
had ruptured into the cavity ot the
peitoneum, probably just before the
occurrence ot death, and at least a
pint of blood coagulated was found in
the peritonei cavity. The abscess spok
en of in the official report of the au..
topsy was not in this region precisely,
but somewhat more to the right, be
tween the liver and transverse colon.
No connection was discovered be
tween this and the external wound
made by the bullet, aud there are no
means of knowing whether it commu
nicated with the original track at
smne earlier period in the history of
the ease or not. It may have done so,
and become subsequently closed, or it
may have been the result of the exten
sion of inflammation from the original
track to the adjacent tissues. There
was no lesion of the liver, recent or
ancient, indicated in the autopsy.
“It is evident from this account
that tlie presence of the ball iu the in
the situation in which it was found
was not the immediate cause of death,
as it wns completely encysted, and
must have long since ceased to cause
irritation. The small fragments ot
bone and tlie great lesion of the lum
bar veretbra are the pathological facts
which alone could endanger the pa
tient’s life. This lesion of the verte
bra the surgeons had no means of
repairing, nor could it have been re
paired save by the process of nature.
The small fragments of bone, if they
■boold prove to be such, widely dis
seminating in the adjacent tissues,
certainly could not have been removed
by any surgical operation. It was
determined by the autopsy that the
necessity did not exist for removing
the ball, or, in other words, that had
there been no other lesion it might
have been carried for mauy years
without causing death or even incon.
venience. Still, it may be proper
to inquire whether by a surgical op
eration the bullet could have been
sately removed. If it had been ar
rested by the spine, or even lodged in
the substance of the spinal column,
possibly with a bold aud very exten
sive dissection it might have been
sately reached and extracted. It is
questionable, however, whether the
history of surgery furnishes any
example of success under the circum
stances now supppsed. But the tact
is that the bullet traversed the spine
and lodged at a point some distance
removed from it. Passing miraculous
ly through various vital structures
which surround the canterior and
lateral walls of the vertebra:. The
tront ot the spine in the region tra
versed and both of its sides present
ing toward the interior of the belly
are literally covered by important
blood-vessels, arterieea and veins, the
most important nerves of the body,
including trie sympathetic or gaug-
aonic system of nerves, also the nerves
of common sensation and motion, and
by sympathy including the great tho
racic duct through which nutrition
from the alimentary canal is conveyed
to the heart. The injury of almost
any of the foregoing, excepting the
nerves ot common sensation apd mos
tion, would inevitably destroy life, and
in the midst of this plexus ot arteries,
veins and lymphatics the surgeon
would have had to carry his knife in
search o£a ball, the situation of which
has only been revealed by the autop
sy. There were no possible means of
knowing the situation of the ball du
ring lile, as it gavo no indications ot
its presence; nor could it possibly
have been teitclied and recognized by
any torm of surgical probe. That
death would have been immediate,
and the inevitable result of any such
daring adventuro is.alinost absolutely
certain. However much we, individ
ually or collectively, may have' made
ourselves liable to just criticism in
the matter of diagnosis or prognosis,
and whatever doubts may be euter-
mined by medical men as to the pro
priety of the treatment in certain res
pects, I cannot believe that one intel
ligent surgeon will hereafter think
that at any period in the progress of
the case the ball or the fragments of
the bone which it sent before it could
h.ive been successfully removed. Nor,
indeed, that any serious attempt in
the direction would not have resulted
in speedy death. Viewing the ca-e
in the light of our present knowledge,
1 am prepared to affirm that surgery
lias no resources by which the fatal
result could have been averted. This
was the sad consolation whioh I felt
justified in giving to the griet-strickeu
wife and family, and which all my
associates believe we can give to an
afflicted people’
HOW GUITEAU RECEIVED THE NEWS.
Telegram to Nuhrill* Ante icon.
Warden Crocker visited Guiteau in
his cell this morning, slid gives . tho
following account of tho interview:
‘When I entered the cell, after the
usual morning gi eel ing Guiteau’- first
question to me was, ‘how is the Pres
ident V’ I replied that I did not know.
I answered thus to fiod out if he bad
gained any knowledge of the Presi
dent’s death. Guiteau replied, ‘You
ought to know. Have you read thu
morning papers ?’ I said that I had,
but could not roly on the various
statements in the papers. He then
said he had felt very anxious about
the President tor the post few days,
and he feared he was nearing his end.
I then informed him, watching his
expression carefuily, that the Presi
dent was dead. He instautly sank on
his bed and appeared very much agi
tated. After remaining in this posi
tion for a few moments, he arose and
paced the floor, muttering something
to himself as il praying. He then in>
quired at what time he died, and after
being informed, said that he was glad
the President had at last been relieved
from his sufferings, as he would not
have committed the deed' if he had
known he was to suffer as he did.
Guiteau did not appear so nervous
and alarmed as I supposed he would
when the nows was broken to him,
and I do not think he knew the Pres
ident was dead until I so iuformed
him. At least he said he did not. lie
does not manife-t auy increased fear
this morning, but be has been in com
stant dread all along that he would be
dealt with by a mob, and earnestly
prays we will protect him.’
