(JOBE REFLECTtO.YS ABOUT YORKTOWN.
It was jo, tone hundred years on
the 19th ot Octoboi 1 , when Lord
Cornwallis and his rpd coats laid
down their arm, at Ycyktown to the
Continental troops, under General
George Washington and their French
allies, under the great Rochambean—*
or SKambo, as the Americans call*
ed him. It is said that while the
seige was going on, one of the Amer.
icans strayed into the French camp,
and ooming back in a state of great
excitement, said to his comrades,

On the 19th, the descendants of
tho Americans were there, and some
descendants ot the distinguished
French and German soldiers who
were their strong friends a hundred
years ago. It most have been, ac
cording to ail accounts, a glorious
centennial The military display was
magnificent. The crack regiments
from Vireinia, Sooth Carolina, Ma
ryland and several of the Northern
Slates, were there. Our little navy
tried to look as large as possible, and
if the French and German visitors
failed to see anything in the army and
navy which rivalled their great ar*

The report that several of the cor

come to grief has b6en received with

corners taro suffered failure* has
brought them no sympathy because
it was considered they werfr engaged
in an illegitimate business.

the existence of these corners for even

The Banner called attention to the
fact weeks ago* that, the report of
short crops did not justify the won
derful rise in prices,but only served as
an excuse to speculators to produce a
corner and thus force the high prices.
Men with limited incomes and those
working for wages have been pat to
it to make ends meet weekly and
monthly, and now another natural
and inevitable result is seen in numer

STEAM GIN BURNED.
The steam gin and saw mill of Mr.
William Appleby, about 6 miles
above Jefferson, was burned last Wed
nesday night, together with a quan
tity of cotton and cotton seed—the
loss, I understand, amounts to 95,000.
TIIE CROPS.
The cotton fields are white with
tbe jfiaccy staple, but the crop will
soon be gathered, and comparatively,
will be a short one Corn gathering
has commenced, and in some of the
fine bottom lands of Jackson coanty,
the yield will be good. If farmers
can only bo induced to raise only
their samples in cotton, and an abun
dance of provisions at home their suc
cess will be assured. A small aver
age in wheat well manured and a large
crop oioats sown in the fall, will prove
the best preventive of rust that can
be devised. The “ poor land” or
white oats will grow finely on this
land, and seldom, if ever, have the
rust, if sown is the fall. The rust
proof or red.oat is a very heavy oat,
but only succeeds well on good land.
**- TEACHER’S INSTITUTE.
The Jackson connty teacher’s in
stitute is regarded as a success—
while it has been intimated by those
who ought to know, that the average
county school teacher is a failure.
ROW AT A SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
There was a colored school exhibi
tion at Harmony Grove, on Saturday
night the 15th inst., and the report
has just reached here that a row oc
curred, and a negro man was found
dead Sabbath morning with a knife
in bis hand. We think those exhibu
tions and church fairs, that are so
largely attended by our colored
friends, are a prolific source ot evil,
and should be discouraged by both
white and black.
GOOD PRICES.
A farm of 120 acres in Apple Val
ley was recently sold to a former citi
zen of Athens, tor $2,700 and the new
crop of corn on it, at SI per bushel,
Rye has been selling here at S1.50
and w heat at $2,00 per bushel.
THE RAILROAD.
We are glad to see the Banner so
warmly enlisted iu favor of onr rai!
road, which is an assured fact, and
we feel confident that the good peo
ple of Athens will find it to their in
terest to unite with ns in order to se
cure the mountain trade, together
with the fine trade ot Jackson county.
PLEASANT REFLECTIONS,
Amidst the general gloom in re
ference to short orops, we have this
pleasant reflection, that we have no
provision or guano bills to pay, plenty
of corn and wheat to live on a fine lot
of hogs rolling fat, an orchard lull of
apples, plenty of potatoes, a large
flock ot sheep and the finest cows in
the country, from which we get an
abundant supply oi good butter and
oceans” ot milk for our hogs,
furnish my family with five excellent
weekly papers, and a splendid libra
ry of books to read, and they stay at
home at night, and read after their
day’s work is done, and I have no
anxiety about their getting into bad
oompany.

ei the stockholders of the Knoxville
dr Augusta railroad Co. in that city
It says:
A proposition had previously been
made to consolidate the Knoxville &
Augusta rialroad Company of Ten«
nessee, the Rabun Gap Short Line
railway oompany of North Caro)ina,and
the Clayton railway company ot Geor
gia, into oue line and under one man
agement. This proposition was duly
considered and unauimously agreed
to.
The Tribune further says tnat “the
consolidated line will extend from
Knoxville via Maryville, Teun., Mur
phy, N. C., and Clayton Ga., to La
la junction on the Atlanta and Char
lotte Air Line,” but we are relisfbly
informed that it only takes in the line
between Knoxville and Cavton. The

It is ot course generally understood
that this same company were the re
cent purchasers ot tbe Emory _ Gap
road, or Knoxville and Cincinnati
Southern. But it was thought best
that this road from Knoxville to Em
ory Gap on the Cincinnati Southern,
while it remained under the general
control of the Syndicate, should be
under the local management of a sep
arate organization.
Immediately after tbe meeting of
the Kentucky' and Ohio stockholders,
a meeting of the stockholders ot the

HOW TO COLLECT BILLS.
A reporter of the New York Sun
had interviews lecently with a num
ber of dealers in various lines of busi
ness, in which the .'ubject of debts
and dnns was discussed in ail its bear
ings. They gave their experience
and observation in reference to the
different kinds of debtors and the best
modes of collecting small bills from
delinquents. It seemr that there are
in New York, as elsewhere, very few
prompt payers, but great tact has to
be used to collect small debts and
retain customers. One tailor gave
the reporter the following' rules,
which can be amended to the shop
keeper’s liking:
1. Never give the idea that yon

2. Never plead that you arc in
absolute need of the money.
3. Never explain why you want
the money further than by some gen
eral phrase, as to (meet outstanding
bills. The debtor is usually an ex
pert in showing a man how he can get
along without money. He will wo'st
you in argument, aud if you lose your
temper it is an excuse to him why he
should not pay.
4. Always be civil,* however
business-like and importunate you
may deem it necessary to be.
5. Never think you have done
wrong because a debtor gets' angry.
His anger, under civil treatment,
shows that he does not intend to pay.
This yoa might as well know early as
late.
6. Show quito as firm a resolution
to get the money on your tenth call
as on any previous one, or else it
would have been better it you had not
made it. - .
7. Never leave a debtor without
his setting a time when he thinks be
can pay, and never fail to be on hand
at the time set.
8. As between yourself and an
employee, tot the most business-like of
the two make the dan.
9. Suggest installments. Shame
the debtor into making arrangement
to pay something every week or every
month. It not S10, then $5, or $3,
or 81. It will convince him that you
have set to work in earnest to get the
money.
10. If a debtor gets angry, or has
worn out your patience, 'a threat to
attach his salary may be effective, not
so much that he is likely to fear you
will get the money that way, as that
ha will be anxious that the affair shall
not come to the knowledge of his em-
ployer.
11. A similar effect may be pro
duced by saying you intend to place
the bill in the bauds of a lawyer, par
ticularly if yon mention n lawyer whom
he bates or who has * reputation for
harassing debtors. Professional debt
ora, however, become careless about
legal processes.
12. Drop into a debtor’s favorite
haunts. It will make him very un
easy, especially if you don’t hesitate
to ask him politely, but plumply, for
your money on occasion. This may
