CHINA HALL. ATHENS. GA.
•to Marie Bowen.
Miss Marie Bowen, of Atlanta,
gave one of her choice entertainments
in elocution, m Athens, at tho Lucy
Cobb Institute, Friday night The
chapel wa* well filled, although the
night was not propitious.
Miss Boweo was introduced in a
graceful manner by Prof. Willcox.
The first thing read was ‘Kentucky
Belle,’ which was rendered in a style
tnat captivated the audience in the
very beginning. Miss Bowen is beau
tiful, and her costume was such as to
heighteu the effeot of her beauty.
The prograutne was varied from
grave to gay. We cannot,'as we
intended, allude to the manner of
rendering each piece. It will suffice
to say that in all of them the true ar
tist appeared. The most artistic ef
fect was produced by ‘The creeds of
the bells’ and ‘Robert of Lincoln;’
while ibe pathos of ‘The Polish Boy’
was thrilling, and' the genial humor
of ‘Archie Deau’ was enthusiastically
received.
We’have beard many elocutionists,
but none superior—and few equal—to
Miss Bowen. Her recitations are ac
companied by a gesticulation, natur
al and appropriate, and withal so
graceful as to give hers, in this respect,
a superiority over almost any similar
rticitals. If her actions were ovei -
drawn, it would mar the beauty of
the recitation; if not vivacious enough
it would make it tame. Miss Bowen
has struck the true and happy medi
um; she follows nature—that is, the
promptings of her own emotions. We
give Miss Bowen high praise. She
deserves it. Wednesday night, eha
will appear at the opera house, aud
we hope it will be crowded.
Jackson Court.
Adjourned on Friday alter two
weeks session. Owing to the con
flict in the time of holding Hall and
Jackson court, very few of the
Gainesville lawyers were in atten
dance, in spite of the fact that several
cases had to be continued ou ibis ac
count. No more satisfactory court
has ever been held in the county. The
amount of business transacted sur
passed any previous court. Judge
Erwin is in a fair way to clear the
dockets, tor his successor should be
persist in the determination not to
apply for tho Judgeship again. Daring
tha second week several ot the legal
fraternity were complaining of colds,
but came to the sciatch, all the same,
like little moo, especially at meals.
Of the Athens bar there were present
besides the Judge and Solicitor, Col.
S P Thurmond, Maj. Lamar Cobb,
Capt. I’o ; )e Barrow, Capt. H H
Carlton, Messrs. Andrew J Cobb,
Syivanus Morris, E K Lumpkin and
R B Russell. Col. Thurmond was
quite unwell and had to leave for
home on Thursday; we are Jglad to
learn he is improving.
The Grand Jury presentments show
a prosperous state of affairs iu Jack-
son; their report was full and exhaus
tive. There were forty bills found
at the court, many ot them for viola,
tion of the liquor laws. Jackson it* a
good county and we love to go theie.

The Demestheatan Anniversary.
Yesterday was the eighty-eeoond
anniversary of the Demostbenian So
ciety of the University ot Georgia,
and it was celebrated in the usual
appropriate manner. At 11 o’clock
the audience gatbeied at the chapel,
after music on the campus by the cor
net-band. On the rostrom were the
chancellor, the orators of the Demos-
thenian and Phi Kappa Societies and
two young gentlemen carrying the
banners of the two societies.
Chhncellor Mali offered prayer, and
then introduced the orator,Mr. Davis
J. Gaffney, of LaGrange. Mr. Gaff
ney’s speech was a clear, philosophi
cal and logical discussion ot the mer
its oi a constitutional government.
In a few terse sentences, be skethed
the objectionable features of monarch
ical governments as in shown European
nations. From this he passed to a
cursory notice of the origin of consli-
thlional government in England; and
then, as naturally might be expected,
be turned to the United Slates, as
the grandest example of the theme of
his oration.
The salient features of our complex
government were pointed out and
their benefits discussed from the
standpoint ot a political philosopher.
The speech evinced thought and re-
searcli.and'tbe principles enunciated in
it were of the soundest kind. The
speaker closed with an earnest, perti
nent exhortation to his fellow Demos-
tbenians.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Gone to Market.
Mr. Moses Myers, of the firm of
M. Myers <fc Co., has gone to New
York, having left last Monday. Mr.
Myers, as is well known, is ono of
the best merchants in Athens. For
years he has catered to the many
cuatoqieis who come from all over
Northeast Georgia, and itis acknowl
edged that in taste and ability to
please tho public, Mr. Myei s cannot
be excelled. He is going to bring
out a stock this time, which will be
selected with the utmost care, and
will be calculated to please all tastes
and all pocket books. When you buy
goods, it is worth something to be
able to depend on the representations
of goods which the merchant makes.
This you can aWyays do at Myers «fc
Co. A new announcement will ap
pear in the Banner when Mr. Myera
return*.
A Fine Hone.
We sec in the Bowling Green,
Ky., Gazette that Messrs.
Phillips & Eubank, of that place,
had just received trom George Lin-
derberger, of Louisville, a very fine
horse, for which they paid an unusu
ally big price. They named the horse
’Kentucky Byron;’ and he will be
shipped,in a few days,to Mr W S]Hol
man, the enterprising stock dealer, of
Athens, Ga. Kentucky Byron is of
trotting stock. He is by Byron,who
has a record of 2:25, out of the dam
ot Gen. Garfield and Lady Garfield,
who have records ’ respectively 2:21
and 2:24. He is four years old past;
fifteen and a half hand* high, light
sorrel, and is a bcantilul specimen of
his family; gentle, bat fall of file; and
it signs have any meaning will make
a prominent horse before many more
yean are registered against him. Lov
ers of fine horse-flesh will be glad

Mr. Vctonee’s Washer.
The washer advertised in the Ban
ner, by the inventor, Mr. C. B. Ve-
ronee, is almost a marvel. Wiihoat
labor, and simply by the process of
boiling, clothes or’cloths of any kiud,
no matter how dirty, are rendered
clean. The points of merit claimed
ai e that the articles are washed with
out labor, and that the method ot
washing prevents their wearing as
they do when washed in the ordinary
manner. They are put in a machine
which is the patent boiler. It will
fit any stove, and after the boiling,
the articles need simply to be taken
out, rinsed and ironed..
You may ask ' will it do this? We
reply—sec it tried and you will be
convinced. There is no person, so
far as we have lieard, who has seen a
trial, without being convinced that
the machine is what is claimed for it.
It is very simple and not expensive,
and we advise all ot our house-keep
ing readers to give it a trial, or at
any rate, to see it tried.
District Stew unis.
There was a meeting ot tiie stew
ards of Athens district, held in this
city, Thursday night. This body is
Methodistic and is composed of one
steward from each station or circuit.
It is .their business to fix the salary of
the presiding elder, and also to di
vide among the different charges tbe
amount with which the annual con-
ference assesses the district for home
and foreign missions and for tbe ‘con
ference fund.' This last means the
amount to be raised for superannuated
preachers and the widows and the or
phans ot preachers who died in the
work.
Only nine were present, though
tbe lull number is thirty. Capt. W
B Haygood was elected chairman,and
R. L. Moss secretary. The presiding
elder’s salary was fixed at 81,500, and
the secretary was authorized to as
sess each charge for the other funds
in proportion to the amount which
they were assessed lor the elder’s sal
ary. Nothing else of importance was
done.

A Touag Ran Killed Last Sight or the Ball-
road, Saar Augusta.
' r -
(Augusta News, 18lh)
A very sad accident and a terrible
fleath occurred last night at Forrest
sixteen miles up the Georgia Road
from Augusta. A young man,David
V. Neal, left the city on tbe evening
passenger aboat 6 o’clock, got off at
Forrest, went into a store and then
went out alone. He was under the
influence of liquor while in Angnsta
yesterday afternoon, and it is suppos
ed that he wandered, on the railroad
track and foil asleep. The night
freight train pasaed Forrest about half
past eight o’clock, acd while rushing'
around a curve in a deep cot, ran
over young Neal, severing bis-head
completely from his body and also
cutting off his left foot.
.On acoount of the very dark night
and the carving track, the insensible
man was not seen till too late, and
when tbe train was stopped, the dead
and mangled body ot tbe yonng man
was found lying across the track.
No blame could possibly attach to
the engineer, and the verdict after
the inquest held by justice (J. J.
Clifford was to this effect and in ac
cordance with the tacts stated.
Investigation showed the name ot
the young man, and an amprotype
picture ot his father was found in his
pockets. He was a son of Maj
George V Neal, who died a few weeks
since near the spot where his son
met his terrible death. Maj. Neal
was before tbe war one of the wealth
iest citizens of Warren county, and
in his youth the Stale contained no
more brilliant or promising son than
George V. Neal. He died a few weeks
back, tha wreck ot his former self,
leaving several sons in different parts
of the State.
The mother of these youog men
was a wonderful woman and lived an
experience such as few women ever
knew, and which writers paint with
weird imagination. Beautiful,giftedand
admired, sbe was in youth an heiress,
and her early married life a romance
of happiness aud brilliant promise.
Sons and daughters blessed her home,
and honor and prospeniy surrounded
the name and landed estates of Major
Neal of the grand old county of War
ren. A charge came. Tbe old, sad
story ot a broken heart, and the wife
of a once gifted lawyer straggled, and
worked, and almost starved by the
side of a wreck ot manhood. At last,
neglected, and in a distant part of the
State, she died, her gray hairs un
smoothed by the baud ot affection,
and her heart gone to ashes—the lead
memory of a love burned out aud
buried.
This remiuiscence is Recalled by
the sad death ot a son of Maior and
Mrs. Neal, and while not intended as
a chapter on the reversed fortunes oi
a well known family, it may furnish
an instructive moral in tbe lesson of
life.

The ladies have offered to assist
Will Pentecost in compiling his mat

The Difference Between Law and Justice
A thing happened in .Athens yes.
terday between two negro boys,whom
we will call Tom and Bill, which
shows that there is a difference be
tween law and justice. Tom had
sold a pair of boots to Bill’s mother,
for Bill, on a credit. Having got
possession. Bill’s mother steadfastly
refused to pay for them. Yesterday
Tom saw Bill in the street, with the
'boots on, and he took hold of Bill and
took the boots away. For this sc
which was called highway robbery—
he wits turned over to the police.
This kind ot a thing is transpiring
every day. Men buy property, and
refuse to pay for it, and those from
whom they bought have no recourse.
The law is always on the side of the
man who owes. What this country
needs is some law for the collection ot
debts.
Anther Treat. '
Miss Bowen said she was so highly
pleased with the ariitocralio look of
her Athens audience Friday night
last, and the beautiful and appreda.

As it is on the 22d, a national hol
iday, I hope that we will give her a
large house. She i9 without doubt

A A Lipscomb says *a woman with a

Not that kind of a Donkey.
A coolness has arisen between Mr
and Mrs. Fitznoodle, one of the most
respectable families in .Austin. One
day last week a Mexican donkey was
run over in the outskirts oi .Austin,
and killed, by a freight train on the
International railroad. Next morn
ing, just as Mr. Fitznoodle was about
to Start dowu town, his wife threw
her arms around his neck and said.
‘Dear Alonzo, promise me not to go
near the railroad track. How can
the engineer distinguish between you
and a donkey in time to stop the
train?’—Texas Si/lings.

The Grecian declared, *01d age op.

PERSONALIS* IN POLITICS.
If our memory serves us this is a
theme upon which a distinguished
Georgia Senator recently discoursed
most "pertinently and pointedly. It
was undoubtedly upon this rock that
the Democratic party in Georgia was
wrecked in 1830, and, we tear, is
likely to continue dismembered aud
dismantled for an indefinite period.
And what is true of tho democracy
of Georgia is also, to a great extent,
true oi republicanism in this and oth
er States. This same personalism in
New York, defeated Hancock in
1880 and sert Garfield to his loDg
home.
Tbe purely sectional issues and
discussions in and out of Congress,
iiich solidified the two leading par
ties ot this country, haviug been si
lenced it not settled, that body aud
the country at large, are giving atten
tion to'ihose vital questions which con
cern all classes and sections, and to
which we alluded last week.
This chaotic condition of things
does not give us the slightest uneasi
ness. It stills the cry of republican
sulwarts about a ‘solid South,’ and
tbe silly clap-trap of partisan writers
and speakers, about the Airicaniza-
tion of tbe South.
In 1840, tbe Republic reached a
condition of things which demanded
a change in the policy and adminis
tration of the Federal government.
At least, so thought a majority of the
American people. .American states
manship was adequate to the exigen
cy. The Whig party, composed of
the best men of the conntryspraDg
into being. Unde:r its rnle trade and
commerce revived, and tbe Republic
was blessed with peace and plenty.
Thus will it be in 1884, if the people
will but rise in their majesty and
subordinate personalism to principle.
In England, political parties rarely
ever survive the triumph or defeat of
measures which gave them birth.
Why should they in this country?—

A Runaway Collector.
Mr. Jacob Harrell, for many years
the tax collector ot Decatnr, Ga.,
has absconded with between five and
six thousand dollars of that county’s
money. The strangest part of the
affair is, that the Board of County
Commissioners, composed ot moat
thorough and reliable business men,
should have discovered when the de
faulting officer left, that he was - ab
solutely without a bond.
On the death of Chief Justice Mar
shall, near'y fifty years ago, the laws
yera of Philadelphia moved fora moo
ument. Tbe project failed at tbe
time, as is often tiie ease, and only
$3,000 waa contributed. Tbe matter
was soon forgotteu by almost every
body. The last surviving trustee of
the fund died a few days ago, and
amongliis papers waa found a careful
aooount of the money, abowing that
by investment it had grown to $20-
000. Tbe monument will now be
erected.

of the body—for Torpid Liver, Headaches,
Jaundice, Dizziness, Gravel, Fever, Ague. Ma

Liver and Urinary Organs.
It ia an excellent ana safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstrua
tion and ia invaluable for Lcueorrhuea or Fall
