HOW MR. OOODNOW up THE ROLLING MILL HELPED A WORTHY NTF.KPUISE. - ATHENS GIRLS. [Written lor the Southern Banner.] Am! what about At hen* girls? To speak ot them, will charm a multi' lu«le—to see them, would Ik* to brino princes at their feet. There is but one motive that could prompt us to say anything about them, smd this, | we hope, will be discovered, as soon j as you may finish reading what we ! have to say about them. Justice should always be done—people should always know everythin)* which ought to be known, and wo intend to, t-ll you something which you not only ought to know, but which most peo ple, however, already know, and yet, which m me tnay haVe forgo-ten, and which ereryliody would like to hear again, even the girls themselves It has long been a maxim among the lovers of art, (yea, and of scientific* men, too,) that tor beauty, go to •Athens, and for once, let vour eyes rest upon Athens girls, . and I need not say thnl the maxim is as true a- it is old. Yes, Athens girls are beau tiful. In appearance only ? Oh, no. They have mental beauty—pensive* beauty—lasting be: a y t And then; also, •* Pretty is as pretty does;’’ and our girls have modesty, aimiablem ss, sweet ess, -implicitv, (taiihluluess?) loveliness, delicacy, charilahleneas, purity, freshness in fact, they are ! From the Atlanta Constitution.] ‘•in talking with thedclegation from Athens that eeme to receive the en dorsed Ismds of the Northeasteiu Railroad, we were requested by MR, A. k CHIUS, THE PRESIDENT, to publicly express ihe gnu tuuu that the road and the jieople of Athens owed to Mr Onodiinw. the president of the Atlmua rolling mill tbr lus clever ami liberal - real ni*-nt. We learn that Mr. (vimhIiiow deliver e I iron to the value ol over >>.25 Olio, and without receiving a single cent i»t pav, rained the total debt up to the other day when' the hoiids were en dor-od. lie never even asked the road to pay the interest. a> it was working under opposin'* circumstances, lie partied the immense debt, principal and interest without a murmur. The road and the jteople do truly owe him it debt ut gratitude. It is a mutter of congratulation to the whole people of Atlanta, lhat at last, this burden is taken ott the rolling mill, and it is unincumbered. It is the fu emust institution ol our city, if not of the whole Slate, and the whole p ople are interested in its pros|>erity Mr. (xooduovv took it at a time when its for tunes were.desperate ami has, with rare pluck anu sagacity, pulled it through its besetting troubles, and established it finally. For this work, accomplished thmughwhnt snuggles the world will never know. Atlanta owes him a debt tint she can never pay. He has ar -tight a great work.” Ii is with epecial pleasure we copy •he above, and to all of which, we, in behalf of our whole people, give nost earnest endorsement. Mr. (liiOdi.ovv, the President of the j \lhinta Rolling Mill, deserves o r 1 'arilell thanks. Having, as tlio •epie-entative of that enlciprising corporation, been among the fir>t to come to the id of the Northeastern Railroad, tnrnishing at the iiim* of its greatest, need the iron with which to f ay the lerty miles now completed, he proved a Iriend imh-eo, ami amid •ili that unceiiaiiity which encumbers •lew enterprises, he never added •nrther embarrassment to this enters »>rise by filing lien or mortgage. When lie at last sued his claim, he did so at the instum-e of the Board ot Directors of the Northeastern Rail' voad. Mr. Goodimw, the true friend 6t our road, tomplied faithfully with »iis part of the contract, and waited putientIv for his money The people of Athena and all Northeast. Georgia owe him a lasting debt of gratitude. Notwithstanding »onte unkind le*-ling* may have been aatertained, nndei mia:ippreheiision, •towards Atlsaila and her eilix im, Mill we are convinced that the «j»m- duet of Mr. Goodnovv in ihia matter •ms been but a true evidence of the Himliy feeling entertained by the good | eople efihe " Gate City” to- varda Athen*, our people ami our enterprise. —Mr Goodin>vv refused to sell the No the.tstern lands at. par, Imt offer' ed them at I OS in Atlanta the day «*iesi.leiit C nlds paid his claim held igainst the road# radiant with charms—and yet, pet* lectlv innocent, miuotiscioua uc.mtics Now, the reader must know lli. t these remarks do not apply only to the young girls, but must remember that Athens, like all other places, has quite a number of young Indies, who, being somewhat fastidious in their tastes, (or tor nth*, r reason.',) pre* .erred to wait untii they r. ached the more mature age of thirty five • r lor y, before they should lie sii'ccpti' tile to cupid’a allurements To them, also, do our remarks apply, except, perhaps, the freshn ss ami uncoil' scioiisiicss of their beauty, which would probably refer better to those of an older age, Yes, we say that all of the old-young ladies of At ens are beautiful, ami though we remem ber among the aged beauties of other places, that Asp sia, when thirty-six, had wonderful reputation for beauty ; that Cleopatra was past thirty when Anthony fell under her spell; t 1 at Livia was thirty-three when she won the kearl of Augustus; that Annie was thirty-eight when con sidered most beautiful, and when Rich ieii was bowing at her feet; that Ninon was only seventy-two when so beautiful, and when Ahhe de Bern is fell in love with her, that Lew is XiV wedded Mine de Maintenon when she was lorty-three—that Helen was over forty when she perpetrated one of the most famous elo|teiueiits, and so I might lutme many others noted for beauty, hut yet the aged unmarried beauties of Athens, will yet, we me convinced, have greater men at their feet, and like the aged beauties of old. some will refuse ami some elope, ami now besides the very quint- esceuee m outward beauty, and bvau :y of action, they have health aud domesticity, which wo know adds much to lieauty, and now since we I have been frank in telling about the girls, we must ask tliat they will not Iteconte vain if in truth, they like our selves, suppose that our ideas of h *auty apply to them, for then they will lose it all. We will add as a word, that if a man wants to get married, Athens is the place to get a wife, and if he should iw considered too old for the younger girls the aged beauties will do just as well. Orserver The Financial Question. A large and enthusiastic mass meet ing was held in Atlanta, on Friday night, the 19th, for the pur|tn-e of expiessiug the views of t e citizens on the financial question. The meet ing was addressed by Mayor A’lgier. Pres dent, Judge Pittman, John Dunn, Col. Carey W. Styles. Coi. G. W. Adair, and se.eial others, who-e remarks were received with rapturous applause. The Committee on Resolutions con sisted of Judge Daniel Pittman, A. W. Mitchell, It. J. 0-iffl.i, P. F. Bennett, James M. Goldsmith, W. G. Ashley, Mic <:iel Mahoney, John Stephens and O. H. Stephens. The resolutions were as*follows: Whereas, The vvidespr ad distress and bankruptcy existing throughout the Union lias reauhecbvtftalr point where it threatens to ruin eyery ma terial interest of the eoun ry, and to make the people the slav^of Wall street and foreign capitalists; and, Whereas, An effort has been made by certain foreign capitalists, through their employees, to falsity tue voice of Georgia upon the issue uow before Congres-; Therefore, lie it reevivtd, I. Tmit vve demand tlie uncnditioiiHl ' repeal of the neD* Resumption'act 2. We demand tltc repeal of the act demonetizing silver, and that the |>tt*’»*r dollar should be made a legal 'lender for all purport* jiijjf'jfs jt was when the hon ied debt wa contracted, ami before tlie act of 1879 was passed. 3. That ;he Jteople of Geofgta pre fer a unitorin currency tbr the whole country, founded, upon the credit of the General Government, and we de clare against any and all attempts to wipe out the greenback currency— the people’s money—believing as we do that it is impolitic, unjust and wrong to change the debt of tlie United States to ail interest-hearing debt, whe.i the people are willing o carry it without interest. 4. That the Government should n<*t di-cred t :»°*l nipple brown cr- renev, blit should at mice deijnre it a full legal tender, without exception, and issue in the pine* of interest- bearing bond*. 5. Wc declare in favor u.l the sup pression and prohibitum t * all bank issues, and that the fur ishmg of a currency shall be restored to ihe Government to which it excltts vely belongs. ti. That we call ii|hui the Georgia del; gatiou in Congress to use all their intinciice (or the success o the views above expressed; since, in a matter so affecting tue jiersoi.al i lercst of every man, their wishes should nojtbu mis represented in the Federal Xegisia- ture 7. Tliat we especially call u|k>» Mr Candh r our immediate representative in congress, to respect tlie unanimous wish of his constituency in their de mand for resumption repeal, silver remonetization and the isijuie of a volume of greenbacks s- fficient o transact tlie business of the country 8. R> solved, Thai while warespect the exercise of hi - own opi Lit by a Senator, vet win re there is so much unanimity as there is in Georgia upon these quesitons, we think it the duty of our junior Senator to respi*et them by casting bis vote in conformity with the wishes of nine-tenth.'of his con st tue i its. 9. That we heartily endorse the financial policy cf our Senior Senator, aud ol Missis. Ilartr'hfge, Smith, Pltil. Cock, H. K. Hunis, Blen t, Felton, Stephens and Bell, of the L »wer House. 10.
