This is wliat in ty be fitly ter med Indian summer. The attendance upon all the schools is exceedingly good—larger we be. lieve than usual. There is no good reason for batter selling at 35 cents, and yet it docs. The activity of the police lately has brought altout a better tone of mor als in the city. .Mountain sweet, apples are coming iu numerously. They sell for 15 cents a peek. The provision market i* still on boom. The corners made by specu late] s at the north are causing the trouble. Mr. W. A. Shackelford, one of the new pr< prietors of the Oglethorpe Echo, gave us a pleasant eall this morning. The improvements at the North eastern depot arc booming. The lean who fails to patronize Forepaugh will make a great laux pas. A client borrowed money troin one of her lawyers to pay the other, much to the former's disgust. Two cr three young men can se cure a nico sleeping room by apply- ing to R"V. Mr. Farias on Oconee street. Little Gus Nicholson was riding a bicycle a day or two since and ran against a ir.-t, knocking the bark t off —of bis leg. Two young lawyers who are rivals fot the lavor of a certain young lady, have agreed to visit her together. All is fair in love. Mr. T. H. Morris, of the Banner composing torce has been sick nearly two weeks, at the residence of Miss Carlton. He became worse yester day and is seriously ill at present. Dr. Mell, ot the slate University is known as the ablest Parliamentarian iu the country, with the exception per haps of Jas. G. Blaine.—Augusta Neves. Emory College opened Wednesday with brighter prospects than ever in its history. The Seney Endowment of *100,000 will rank it among the first class institutions of the south. Mr. Jno. W. Weir has been ap pointed deputy sheriff, and yesteraay he qualified, gave bond and ent< red upon the discharge ol his duties. Mr. Weir is a young man, highly esteem* ed by those who know him, anti Sheriff' llrowuiug is commended for his selection. We don’t biumc Bill Maweof jhe that hoop skirts and kiudied attach ments have come into fashion again. They are horrid. The occupation of the young col ored men as porteis about the stores will probably suffer a collapse unless there is a let up in this burglarious spirit among them. Judge Garrison of Gitlevillc was in the city Saturday. We asked him about Cotton and he said be would get five und half bales from six acres. Don’t look much like a short crop. Since the burglary has come to light we K-ar that other stores have been entered and goods taken, and the of ficers have beeu looking tor the thieves but without success as yet. The tight times and rise in provisions are bear ing this fruit. Miss Anuie Noble left, last week for Span a, where she will assist Prof Orr ofi.be -Academy in teaching. Miss Annie is a finely educated and accom plished young lady and we predict she will give give eminent satisfaction in this uew field. We wish her great success. ■ -j -«■ Fort nut of Una Lucy Cobb.

HENRY HULL. The Athens Manufacturing Co 1 Athens, Ga., Oct. 5 1881. j At a meeting of the stockholders of the Athens manufacturing compa ny held Oct. fth at their office, the following resolution was passed by a standing vote, and ordered published in the city papers, a copy sent to the family, also spread on a blank leaf of the m.nules: Resolved, That Dr. Ilenrv Hull, the former president of this company has enjoyed our administration and esteem during his official term of of fice foi over twenty years. The impulse of his high character we find visibly stamped on every de partment of this company. His conservative mind aud man ners tended to make all ,business en trusted to his care successful. We sorrow over our loss, yet rec ognizing his gain, the labor of a long life is doubtless realized in the voice of tho Master, '‘Well done good and taithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” F W Cheney, R L Bloomfield, President. Secretary. WINTERVILLE DOTS. The mereha'its cry : “What will we de if we don’t get some cotton ? Mr. Dave Green, of Woodville, spent a tew days Inst week with his sister, Mrs. W II Winter. On Friday night last, Mr. J R Haynes had his cotton house broken open, and about a half bale of cotton stolen. The meeting at tliis place was pro tracted last Sunday to go on through this week. Services at night only. Some time since a passenger from the train walked into the store of Mr. F II Kroner, and called tor two ci gars, lor which he threw down 25 cents, on the counter. Mr. Bud Kidd vhe clever clerk gavo him two 2A cent cigars and 40 cents in change. Who can beat this for cleverness. A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. Last week was a week of accidents, in our community. Thursday, while Mr. £ H Bray and his wife were out picking cotton their little three-year- old daughter got a candle and lit it, and while playing around it, her dress caught tire and was burned off of her. She was so badly burnt that she died that evening about 7 o’clock. Last Friday .morn ing, while Mr. Thos. Hutcheson was working at his cin, he had his hand caught in the belt and very badly mashed ; On last Saturday while Mr. Redin Paterson, of Madison county, was on bis way home, his mules took flight and run away with him, throw ing out him and his little brother, who was with him, and teariug his new wagon all to pieces.

Last night about 9 o'clock and just after services at the Methodist church had closed Mr. J. H. Huggins, Jr. and Mr. E. E. Jones, were together near McGinty’s stole on Jackson street, when they saw a pile of goods close by, and upon examination, dis covered that they were uew and evi dently just out of some store. Know- thal something was wrong they hid themselves and it was but a few minutes before they saw a little ne gro boy with another armful carrying them to the place where the other goods were. They immediately nab bed him aud hastened to the place where be got them, wbich proved to be the rear window of Mr. Casper Morris’ store. Here they found an other boy inside who was ^collecting the goods and handing them out. He was taken in tow and both were hand ed over into the custody of the police. It is believed there was another en gaged in the work but be was not caught. The officers have au idea who he Is, however, and are on the watch lor him. After the young thieves were safely llggpd an iiwmliwlian re— - *■ indjiow they got into tho store. lie. We have so often referred to ihis.gentlemaa, as a polite affable and* accommodating host, that it is not uecessary to say more than that he will continue to make every effort to pleas*) his customers. His table will be supplied with the best the market affords and his nice new rooms will be found entirely comfortable. To gentlemen in the city who board, we would commend the Cli- nard House as on i of the best places they can find. Prices will be about as moderate as any other boarding house, and it is closo to business. In the busy season many business men do not have lime to go home for din ner, and they can bridge the difficul ty by stopping at Cliuard’s, where they will always fiud a good dinuet smok ing hot, and ready when called for. Athens is well supplied now in the matter of hotels, and they should be patronized. Call at Clmard's. Somethin;; Tor Ministers. Rev, J. A. Muuday thinks there is no physician equal to Dr.John Gerdiue in a< case of sore throat, and cites his ownexperience thue:lie had sore throat for three years, with frequent hemor rhages during the time, and could gel no relief till Dr. Gerdine prescribed for him. Alter a time his voice be came as clear us a bell, his tliront trouble left him, and hu was enabled to preach forty-seven sermons iu a very short period without inconven ience. He attributes his cure to the remedies of Dr. Gerdiue, and we pub lish what he says as much to give credit to the skill and learning of nu able physician, as to benefit ministers and others similarly affected. Preach- cher’s sore throat has come to be a distinctive disease and is generally prevalent am *ug ministers ot all de nominations. Mr. Munday is desi rous that all affected this way may know where they can be cured. We will stale that Dr. Gerdine has noth ing to do with publishing these facts. two markets. Mr. Doster says that ths cotton w as ginned in the town of Madison. He also gained the advan tage of a better market to buy goods. Klllcn a Rattlesnake. Mrs. Rfiwson, living about three tuiles from the city, discovered a rat tlesnake near her hen house on f urdav, and with commendable pluck she attacked and killed it It was four and a half feet long and had ten rattles. It isn’t every woman that can do such a thing. It was discovered that one of them had gone to the top of the hoose, broken a paue of glass in .the sky-light and with a rope let himself down into the store. He then opened the back win dow and the gang wonld have soon carried off hnndredsjot dollars’ worth of goods if they had not been caught. It was a most fortunate circum stance that these young men were in such close proximity at the right time. Most of the goods were recovered. At a bouse where the boys staid they bad already deposited a quantity in trunks, boxes and other receptacle-. One ot them confesses to having been in the store a week before and car ried off many valuable articles. They will probably receive a lengthy term in the chaingang. The leader in this mischief is a boy who lias been employed about tbe store as porter, bis business being to sweep the floor, bring water, etc., and In this way he learned bow to carry oat his scheme of robbery. This is but one of several similar cases and we believe onr merchants would do well to refuse to thus employ - these little negroes further for such work, and get while boys instead. We bone tbe police may be successlul in appre hending all other accomplices of these thieves and let them be placed where they will no more Double or annoy with their deviltry. Haw Your Carpets cleaned. Messrs. Curran & Co., the well known carpet renovators of Atlanta, whose advertisement has been in the Banner for some time, have a repre sentative in Athens, in the person of a colored man, J. D. M orris, who is ready to wait upon onr citizens. He is certified to by Messrs.' Curran <fc Co., u being thoroughly competent to do the work he undertakes.

He stated thrt the committee had also investi gated the matter of the erection ot a shed by Mr. A H Hodgson on Hull street; the committee deemed the erection of the shed to be in violation of the ordinance, and decided that it would be a bad precedent to estab lish to allow the shed to remain, they therefore recommend that Mr. Hodg son be required to remove the shed at once.

It takes its name from the peculiar color of the eye in animals affected by it. It is said to be something like typhoid pneumo*. nia in its effects and renders the an imal uuablo to work. We hope it may not leach this section, as it is very fatal it its results. Harried. On last Thursday, in Rome, Ga., Miss Carrie C. McDonald, daughter of Mr. J. C. McDonald, was mai ried to Mr. Win.

The most im portant laws that have been passed have originated from his master mind. The Railroad Tax bill, wbich he in troduced and passed, by which the state receives annually over *200,000 from the railroads that never paid any taxes before, is enough to place his name at the head of the list of public men in Georgia.

At Brooks’ Mills, near Cedartou-n, a few nights ago, a party ot Mormon elders attempted to hold services at the house of a convert, and just as all were ready to begin, a general up roar was heard without which plainly told that parties had come to put a stop to the proceedings. A number of shots were fired, but nobody was hurt. The elders were preparing to get away in haste when they were met by the invaders, who plainly informed them that the good citizens of the neighborhood hud made up their minds that no more Mormon meet ings would be permitted in the neighborhood. The elders fled, and will doubtless steer dear of that quarter for tbe present at least. It is said they had succeeded in making quite a number of converts among the lower classes of the neighborhood. Care in the Use or Festal Cards. Great care should be taken in the use of postal cards, which should never be employed it yon have any thing of an unusual’ or ambiguous nature to communicate. An edito rial writer of the New York Times, evidently writing of a personal expe rience, says: ‘A newspaper man once planned a story in which a lady unhappily married was to sue for a di vorce, and, to make sure of being correct, wrote a lawyer friend, stating the case as he meant to describe it. Back came a postal card: You could not get j» divorce on the grounds you mentio^In New York; you might in Connecticut or Maine ’ This caW handed in by the carrier to Mia.
