There is no telling the Smonnt of suffering the existence of these corners for even a few weeks, has caused the work ing classes and men'of small means. 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 ous strikes for higher wages among the workmen in the various industries of the country. Fortunately these ga"niie”'arm“ir^d'navies" for“TheSr I corners are giving away to some ex- benefit, if the occasion should occur, tentand dro PP'“8 ^ to and something of the raw material of a le * it,male fi S ure * ° therwl8e we which the armies and nav.es would might <lp6Ct grCat a S itallon and be made. probable disturbances among tbe If tho descendants of LaFayette w orking men ot every section of the and Stuben and Rochambean, who Union durin S ^ °° min 8 winter - As were at Yorktown on Wednesday >* » we h °PC n ® more cause will be last could see this country as their S* ven f° r 8UU ^ things, father’s saw it, and see it as it is to.

Z. B. Graves had ask ed tor a dismissal from the Athens Presbytery to the Presbytery of Ma con. 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.

None who were absent can imagine tbe richness of the treat, which ‘ Toodles’ offered the audience on Thursday night Willie Richard son, as old man ‘ Toodles,’ did his part most admirably to the entire sat- isfaction of all present, while Miss Bailie Woodis acted the role of Mrs. Toodles so perfectly that the only dispute is which did the best.

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 same men contol it however, Who con trol tbe Northeastern and the roads inay yet be made one continuous line. 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 Emory Gap was held and the follow ing board of directors waa elected: G J. Foreacre, T. M.

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 OUR OCONEE LETTER. THE PAIR CONCERT.

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.
