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 Banner is as of yore a prime fa vorite. 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.

The difference in the disposition of tbe sexes is, no doubt, owing to wo man’s superior fortitude. ‘Isit true, my dear,’said a New Haven belle to her friend, ‘Oscar Wilde’s mission is to teach us to be beautiful?’ K) yes, indeed, and I’ve been thinking what an opportunity yon have.’ We can’t vouch for it, but it is said they are no longer on speaking terms. When Kathleen went to the doctor the other day, and was told to take a little iron to brace up tier debilita’ed system, she replied: ‘Sure and iu- dade, sir, it’s the ironing that has done it, and I wont take another flatiron in me hand again this sum mer. Couldn’t you send me to the say shore with a case of lager beer? 1 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 see Kentucky Byron, when he reach es Athens. 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. Death. ccThe child of Mr. and Mrs. Raliegh W. Wilkinson died yesterday about ore o’clock. Tbe little one was only a few weeks old.

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. Tbe Other Side. Borne Cosier. The ladies have offered to assist Will Pentecost in compiling his mat rimonial directory, and as a supple ment, propose to have the names of yonng men on the market, witb a statement of their debts, and the av erage amounts of their'cigar and whisky bills.

All repairing 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. live behavior, that she had decided to remain over and giva ua another treat. As it is on the 22d, a national hol iday, I hope that we will give her a large house. She i9 without doubt the ‘Queen of Elocution,’ and as Dr. A A Lipscomb says *a woman with a thrilling aud magnifioent voice.’ SJoirsoN. 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. Three Calamities. The Persian author, Saadi, tells a story of three sages—a Grecian, an Indian and a Penian—who, in the presence of tbe Persian monarch, de bated this question: Of all evils inci dent to humanity, which is tbe wont? The Grecian declared, *01d age op. pressed with poverty;’ the ledum answered, ‘Pain with impatience, while the Perriaa bowing 'low, made answer, *The greatest evil O King, that I can conceive is the couch of death without one good deed ot tile to tight the darksome way!’ Baby Elephants. Who will say that baby elephants are not valuable? Baruurn has offered $100,000 for tbe Bridg _ Conn., baby and its mother,' the Queen. Barnaul says *500,000 is the r ce. He says the baby, born Much 1880, has made $300,000 already. He and bis partners have insured the last tor $800,000 and pay $1,000 weekly in premiums They are offer- ed 82,000 a week to sell its pictures during the next season. Did you ever?, 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?— Greenrsboro Home Journal' 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. SEXTO FOR CATALOGUEand PRICES —OF— WATCHES, DIAMONDS JEWELRY, Solid Silver Bridal Presents, &c., —TO— J. P.
