Carpets nnd Ollier House Fixtures.
The Banner has bad occasion bes
fore, to call attention to the large
carpet and house'furnishing store
of Latiirop & While. Mr,
Lathrop is originally a Savannah
■nan ; has been in the carpet business
from his boyhood and probably few
men know as much about it. He
established, in Savannah, the first
carpet store in the Slate. The fur-
t ishing ai tides which he placed in
house- twenty nnd twenty five years
ago, are still good, as he has recently
learned from some ot his patrons of
those day-. Jn the kind of goods they
sell, Messrs Lathrop & White know
that duiabilily is the first requisite,
and they go in tor solid wearing
qualities.
When we said ‘‘honsefurnishing

jewelry and watch making
Among its other great attractions,
Atlanta hasa watch manufactory,that
of Messrs. J P Slovens & Co. They
had,for several years, been known to
the public of Georgia, as dealers in
fine jewelry and diamonds. Their
magnificent establishment was the
wonder and admiration of all who
visited .Atlanta, and the throngs who
daily pass on Whitehall street have
become accustomed,to the elegant dis
play of this house, which dazzles the
eye of the pas-cr-by.
Stevens & Co, make fine watches a
specialty, mod having established a
large and extensive patronage in that
line of business, they determined to go
iuto the manufacture of watche.
knowing that thus they could save the
profit which they lmd been paying to
manufacturers and that these profits
could be given tAheir customers. Not
daunted by the tact that do watch
manufactory was ever established
the south except perhaps in New Or
leans, J. P. Stevens & Co., started
out with the intention of showing that
this enterprise conld be established in
Atlanta. In nothing has the enter
prising and go-ahead spirit ot the Ga •
City more fitly represented than in this.
The watch factory was started. The
superior Quality of the watches was
very soon recognized by the discrimi
nating purchasers, and now the fac-
■ tory is steadily at work, with a de
.maud e ptal to its capacity for supply.
The writer had the privilege, a short
time since, of going through the man-
nfacluring department. To describe
the work would be impossible and we
shall not attempt it. Suffice it to say
that no one who has not seen it has
any idea ot the delicate and elalmrate
character of the work required to be
on watches. After they are finished
as to their mechanicalparts, they have
to be tested, to determine whether
they will keep perfect time. First
they arc kept for days in an atmos
phere made artificially very oold; and
then i i an atmosphere made very
hot. Then they are tested in every
position in which s watch is likely to
be placed while it is in use; and after
many days, if they stand all the tests,
they are pot on sale.
Besides watches, Messrs. Stevens

OUR JACKSON LETTER.
Editor Banner: Prof John W
W Glenn, the almost idolized Presi
dent of Martin Institute, will give a
week’s vacation in November, and
will accompany as many of his pupils
ns can go to the Cotton Exposition.
It will be an intellectual treat ta go
with such an oscort.
Miss Mattie Williamson, of Jeffer
son, after a long and paiaful illness,
died on the 20th inst.
An old colored man, in the upper
portion of this county., was robbed
last week by two white men, who
stated that they had a warrant for
him, but it he would eive up his mon
ey they would let him go, Where-
upen he handed them S32.
Tho gins are all crowded here to
their utmost capacity and it is said
that 100 bales ot cotton passed
through Jefferson, last Thursday, for
Athens.
. The farmers are sustaining a loss iu
paying for their guano at a discount
upon their cotton ot about 82 per hale
and many of them are beginning to
believe there is no money to them in
using it. Bett er learn late than never.
I have never bought but one sack of
guano and have halt of that for sale
in 5 lb lots to parlies wishing to make
their own mineral water.
The pauper tarra of this county
has three neat double box houses
upon it, inclosed with a plank fence,
has cleared land enough on it to pro
duce 8 or 10 bales ot cotton, and
about 50 barrels of corn. The pro
ceeds of the farm and five and a half
dollars extra are given to the super
intendent, W. P. Boggs, Esq., for the
next two years, for taking care of the
inmates—the county leeding and
clothing them and paying their doc
tor’s bills nnd burial expenses.
Mrs A 8 K elley and infant are both
seriously ill. Col Pike has intermit
tent fever.
The weather has been unusually
warm and dry here for some lime
affording the farmers a nice time to
gather their crops to sow wheat and
oats.
As a result of the warm weather
my second crop of Irish potatoes is
finer than my first crop, cracking ti.e
ground like moles, with fine mealy
potatoes. They arc all volunteers
Irom the first crop that were left in
the ground after three thorough
piowings to sow turnips. The first
crop was planted in every furrow,
liberally manured and covered with
rotten tan-bark, several inches thick.
Neither crop has been worked, as
they were both as thick as if they
had been sown.
Dwarf pear tress that have been
loaded with the finest fruit, are now
in bloom. Volunteer potatoes knee
high and red pepper still in toll
bearing. Corn planted the middle of
June has fully matured. Cattle are
fat upon the rich tall pastures ot her-
mnda nnd crab grass ; turnips are
showing their white ‘globes’ above
ground ; quantities ot peaches have
l>een dried ; the tail apples are being
converted into barrels of cider , the
toreat is helping out the ‘chert crop’
with a liberal roast, and to cap the
climax, I have found a mineral spring
and am happy.
Saturday night and Sabbath, sev
eral heavy shower- of rain fell, con
tinuing through last night. * ■* *

The China Palace.
Among the various kinds of busi
ness in Athens and the numerous
business houses, there is none which
can probably produce a more pleasing
effect on the beholder than the splen
did china, glass and crockery empori
um of Messrs. Lynch & Flanigen.
Those who go there are charmed
with the large nnd attractive stock
which is displayed in
best show its merits. These gentle
men have iust received the last of their
fall invoices, some of it having come
from across the water, and they have
opened and arranged it for the close
inspection of their customers.
The stock is better described in
their advertisement than’we can do.
In china they have some excellent
goods, of French, English and Amer-
can manufacture, and of exquisite pat
terns. This stock the ladies ought
to examine closely. In cut glass too,
there are many very beautiful goods,
while the stock of fancy wares b sco
that it must please the most fastidi
ous. beside the finer goods there
are quantities of substantial wares of
the best inaufacture and of the best
style. There is some as pretty pat
terns in English crockery as one would
care to see. In bouseturnishing goods
there is everything useful or orna
mental that can be needed or desired.
Bat we could not do justice to this
stock by any description we might
give. It will have to bo seen and
examined to be appreciated. We
beg our readers, therefore, to call on
Messrs Lynch & Flanigen and go
thiough their large store. Either of
them will take great pleasure in
showing their goods and explaining
the qualities. Those wishing to pur
chase should be sure tc call there bes

are offered to country merchants,
Cotton is holding its own at 10} to

not be again unless the price should
jump to much higher 6gures. We

TWO RAILROAD ACC IDEM 8.
_ The Northeastern railroad ran
eight trains yesterday, just double
the usual number and while every
possible percaution was taken and
ike greatest care exercised two una
voidable accidents occurred. In ad
dition to the regular trains there was
an excursion traiu of five or six cars
from Lula to bring people to the cir*
cus, and an extra besides. The ac
counts we give below of the accidents
.wo get from the most authoritative
sources and it is correct.
A BRAKEMAN INJURED.
The ngular passenger tram which
arrived here at noon was in charge of
Mr. Cheney, the agent at Harmony
Grove, ^(r. Patterson being on the
excursion train. The schedule was
being made successfully and Mr.
Cheney was exercising extraordinary
precaution, examining his cars at ev
ery station and cautioning the train-
hands to stay at their (testa. On the
trip down from Lula he got off at
Maysville aud saw that eterything
was all right. When near Harmony
Grove lie 8|ioke to Win. Thompson,
one of the brake-men, and told him.
to be at his brake and ready to slop
the train when Harmony Grove was
reached. Thompson went out on the
platform and instead ot .stand
ing at the proper place l.e
went down on the steps and
taking hold of the railing with his
face to the car, he leaned out as far
as he could. While in this position
the*rain passed a stock gap, and the
fence, which was built up close,struck
him in the back knocking him about
fifteen feet and rendering him uncon-
cious. The fence was also knocked
down. No one saw the accident and
Thompson was not missed until the
train got to Harmony Grove a mile
or two beyond. When it was dis
covered he was not iu his place, the
train was backed to find him. He
was taken in charge and a physician
attended him at once, restoring him
to conciouscess and doing all that was
possible tor his wounds. He was
then placed on a bed aud brought to
his home and placed in charge of his
regular physician. His injuries are in
the back, but we have not learned
that they are internal. Hu is cousid'
erably bruised and strained.
This accident was unavoidable, and
is simply due to Thompson’s
lack ot proper caution. He had been
warned before by Supt. Bernard, bui
he became too careless. There was
no reason for him to look out of the
train. He was reported as being
very sore this morning but not in any
danger.
OFF THE TRACK.
Tiio other accident occurred last
night at Harmony Grove. The reg
ular passenger train was coming in
on the return trip tor the night, fol
lowed by the engine that had carried
out the excursion train. At Harmo
ny Grove is a switch which is so
placed that it is compelled to hear a
great strain when the cars pass over
it. By some means a holt had been
worked loose in it but had not been
discovered. As the train ran over it
the bolt came ont and the switch
giving way, the rails slipped aside so
that the engine ran off on the cross
ties ten or fifteen feet and turned
about half over. No one was hurt,
and nothing of importance broken,
but it will require some delay to clear
the track. Hands are at work and
will have everything all right as soon
as possible. This mishap was also
unavoidable. Trains will probably
be running on the road by to-morrow.
OUTRAGE DY THE CIRCUS MEN.
Since our notice ot the circus was
written we have been told of seme
outrages perpetrated by the men be
longing to it which deserve condem
nation At the time ot making our
criticism, wo referred to the show
manner to alone and thought it qriito as good as
the average circus, and better in re
spect to showing all that was put
down on the bills. The outrages re
ferred to w« re incidental to the show,
but did not. come under our obser
vation. We understand that some of
the ticket sellers charged all sorts of
prices tor tickets, and the published
price of 75 cents was not adhered to
at all. In some cases 85 cents was
charged and in one instance a 85 bill
was taken and retained by the ticket
Vaan. Again, the lemonade and can
dy venders would.eharge as high as
50 and 75 cents for one glass of the
beverage or a small paper of candy.
These things were not general but
whenever the men could take an ad
vantage of a customer because of the
crowd, we understand they did not
hesitate at any kind of sharp practice.
Now this sort of thing ought to be
known wherever the circus is booked,
and if Foiepangh himself knew of it
and approved it,it ought to damn him
for all time as a showman. We are
loth to believe he knew it and yet it
would seem difficult for it to escape
him, if he watches after his men as
he ought. We did not hear of these
things until last night and do not hes
itate to say that whatever merit was
in the-bow was greatly overbalanced
hr this outrageous conduct
THAT ROND CASE AGAIN.
WiNTERVii.E. Ga , Oct., 28 ’81.
Editor Banner:—I regret very
much the necessity which compels me
to again ask the use ot your columns,
for the purpose of replying to the un
provoked and vindictive attack uli
on myself, contained iu the article of
Mr. B. B. Williams ami published in
your pajierof the 27lh ult.. I shall
try to reply to it in terms liecoming
a gentleman, and treat Mr Williams
with a respect and courtesy of which
he seems to be entirely ignorant.
His first charge is that I did him
great injustice bv partially and gross
ly misrepresenting the facts in the
case. I deny it most emphatically,
and shall endeavor to prove that the
article was correct in every particular
except in regard to the number of
hands. It should have been five in
stead of six. I slated iu ray communi
cation, first, that Mr. Fleeraan re
ported six of his hands, and that they
were fined. But Mr. Williams says I
omitted to state that those hands
reached the road about halt an hour
after the time appointed, and that he
proposed to Mr. Fleeman and the
commissioners to make up the lost
time by repairing a bridge, cross lay
ing a mud hole, doubling their time
at the next road working &c. I omit
ted to make such statements, first,
because I never heard of them; sec
ondly, because I did not propose to
give the evidence in the case, and
now the commissioners positively de
ny that Mr. Williams e ver made such
propositions and Mr. Fleeman stated
upon oath that the hands were two
hours behiud time. - '
My next statement was, that upon
the hands refusing to pay the tine,the
commissioners issued warrants for
their arrest and ordered them to he
imprisoned, and that Mr. Johnson,
who had been employed to manage
the case and Mr. Williams both, wrote*
to the commissioners, threatening to
prosecute them if they attempted to
enforce their sentence, aud also
warned the sheriff, that if he arrested
the defaulters, he would he served in
like manner. To prove this asser
tion 1 quote from the gentleman’s
owu letters to the commissioners. Mr.
Johnsou says, “If you propose to have
these boys put iu jail, I shall at once
sue the road commissioners and shei-
ifl for false imprisonment.” Mr.
Williams says, “I hope to be able to
show you a legal reason for
resisting your authority, and in
the meantime I shall certainly hold
you, or any other parties, responsible
tor attempting to excite an illegal
process of the law by arresting par
ties iu my employment”
Mr. W. quotes me os saying that
he resisted the sheriff This is a mis
take. I said he threatened him with
prosecution and though he did not do
ibis personally, hiscouusel did ii fur
him, in his interest. He admits that
fie threatened to hold the commis
aimers responsible for what they did,
aud if that does not mean that ho in
tend to prosecute them tor the same,
then I don’t undertsand the sentence
and I am confident that no one but
Mr. Williams does.
It seems as if Mr. W. had leveled
all of his logic, sarcasm, wit and ritli-
teule at the opinion which I dared to
express in the closing paragraph of
the article under discussion, and. like
the man who attempted to pull him-
selt over the fence by his bootstraps,
he will find that this
mighty . effort has neither
moved liimsell nor any one else. He
concludes his exhaustive argument
with tiie request that I boil down my
gush of exaggerations to solid truths
and then state the facts ot) both sides
fairly. That is exactly what I took
the precaution to do before publishing
the piece, and to this I attribute the
fact that it has awakened Mr. Wil
liams, who seems to be so unaccus
tomed to plain truths and unvarnish
ed statements, that like Banquo’s
ghost, they startle and terrify him.
I afiall not attempt to reply to Mr.
W’s attack on the commissioners.
They are perfectly able to manage
their own affairs, hut if Mr. Williams
will reflect for one moment, he will
surely regret the publication of his
article, which he must »ee is unjust in
its criticisms ot both the commission
ers and myself I certainly do not
wish to injure him and regret very
much the necessity which has com
pelled me to reply in language that
may be sharp but which he must ac
knowledge was provoked by himself
Respectfully,

A CUTTLSu SCRAPE.
About three o’c'ock yesterday af
ternoon the report flew over the
streets that a serious fight h d taken
place between Mr. Julius McDonald
and a negro, named Cobb Houston
in which the latter was cut so nadly
that ho would die. This was an ex
aggeration however. The negro had
an ugly gash down the ride of his t.ce
and just along the lower jaw bone, but
no large artery was cut.
There were various stoic s told
about the affair and it has been al-
meat impossible to get the correct
version ot it
i here seems to have been too much
whiskey aboard and the difficulty
started we learu by the negro taking
offence al some real or fancied injury
done him by Mr. McDonald. One
report says that in the quarrel the
negro was cut by Mr. McDonald and
atterwara knocked him down, while
another is told the effect that Mc
Donald was knocked down twice be
fore he cut the negro. Mr McDon-
ald’s version of the difficulty is as
follows: He was passing down the
street which was greatly crowded
when he took out his knife to cat off
the end ot a cigar. As lie closed the
knife he had it down by his side, and
being jostled by the crowd, the blade
accidentally stuck in Cobb Houston’s
leg. He passed on and the negro
turned and followed him. Wbenlte
came up be asked wliat in the h—1 he
meant by sticking him with a
knife. McDonald tried to explain
that he didn’t intend to do
it, but the negro insisted that lie
did and cursed him. McDonald tried
to avoid a difficulty but the negro
was angry and finally struck him.
Before he could do anything he was
struck again and then it was that he
made the lick with the knile. There
were many negroes near by and see
ing no white men, he became afraid
that ethers would attack him, so he
leaped a fence and hid himself till
the excitement should subside.
This is one side of the affair. Mr.
McDonald was taken' by tho police,
and we believe lias given bond. He
was at his home this morning. An
investigation of the matter will be had
as soon as the negro is able to be
out, and we suppose the .real facts
will come to light.
Marriage.
The following notice of the mar
riage of a former Athens boy is from
the Griffin correspondent of tho Con
stitution :
“ Griffin was thrown into quite a
fever of social agitation this week over
a most unexpected marriage by which
we lost one of our most loveable and
bniiiant young ladies. Prof. J E.
Witherspoon, formerly of Athens but
now of Valdosta, was the gentleman
who did the eurtirising, and Miss

heart disease. About 12 o’clock m.
her mother, Mrs. S. Durham missed
her from the house and began to
scearch for her. After satisfying her
self that she was not at the house of
any of her neighbors, she began to
search the house; when going up
stairs she beheld Iheobjent of her sceach
sitting in an upright position on the
top step, lifeless- So great was the
shock to the mother that she alarmed
the neighbors with her heart rending
screams. Dr. Richardson was immed
iately summoned to the corpse by the
family, who hoped that she had only
fainted, but alas, after examination he
told them that she was dead.
Mrs. Reaves was the sister-in law
of Mr. R. K. Reaves, of Athens .and
was well known and muched loved by
at large circle of friends in that place
She had been in wretched health for
several months, but no one ever
realized that she would be called from

THE TWO SUITS.
Into Which Two Governors Get Themselves.
Atlanta Constitution.
Yesterday the Willimantic compa
ny did some work against time iri
which the old father was vanquished.
One of the features of the day’s do
ings was tu be the m iking of the two
suits of clothes from the seed cotton.
Bright and early a number of people
went out to the grounds to see the
process. A little alter sunrise a few
individuals on hand for the occasion,
stepped into one of the patches on the
grounds and almost iu a twinkling the
cotton was picked and ginned. At
twenty minutes to 7 it started on its
way. Entering first the Kitson pick
er, at 7 o’clock, it went to the Foss &
Pevey cards; thence to the railway
head, built by the Lowell mnehine
company. Then it rapidly found its
way to the speeder built by the City
machine company, of providence".
From there it went to the Fails &
-Tenks frame,and was soon what the oh-
-ei ver was ready to pronounce ; thread.
This was taken to a Crompton loom
and the process of weaving com*
menc. d. The crowd that had watch
ed tho course ot the cotton as it pass
ed from stage to stage grew until the
aisles were blocked up. Everybody
wanted to gee the work going on.
As soon as the cloth emerged from
the loom it was taken tcUthe dye
house ot N. Spencer Thomas, and
dyed. As soon as it was dried it was
taken to the \\ heeler <fc Wilson ex
hibit, where the suits were cut out—
one for Governor Colquitt and one
lor Governor Bigelow. The silk which
had been furnished from Cheney
Brothers, and which was of American
manufacture, was ready. The mak-
iug of the suits commenced. The
cutting was doue by Atlanta’s favor
ite tailor, Mr. Grosse, whose taste
and ability guaranteed perfection in
his department of the work. The
button-holes were made at tho rate
of two a minute hv II. L. P.ielps, of
New York, on the National machine
company’s button-bole machine. As
the day closed the suits came com
pleted from the hands ot tailors, and
in the evening the governors wore
handsome black suit-, made front cot
ton that at sunrise dangled, dew-
gemmed, from the stalks. So mu h
for fast machinery.

Pink-Eye.
This disease, prevailing in many o
the southern and western state., is ev
idently, from what we can gather
about it, a disease of the blood in
duced by the extreme dry weathe*
There ta a dropsical effusion in the
legs, with swelling of the eye lids and
eversion conjunctive, giving the red
dish or pinkish‘color 1 to the eyes, which
suggest the name. It is not nearly so
fatal as some persons and papers inti
mate, and is not believed to be Conta
gious, If the horse is promptly treat-
ted he will almost invariably recover.
The most successful treatment is diu
retics after purging with salts. A daily
administration of alum ard saltpetre
will soon relieve the apimal, combined
with absolute rest.
Wine or Lire.
For a woman to have some art or
profession of her own, places life on
a new center for her. She learns to
live her own life, not to be merely an
appendage on other lives. . She ex
periences that supreme happiness ot
creation. It is the very, wine of life,
