excellent clerk. This part of the

the election of Mr. Goctchius would

Dr. It. M. Hmllli.
For sometime passed our esteemed
fellow-citizen Dr R. M. Smith, has
been suffering with a partial paralysis,
which while it has greatly inconven
ienced him, yet did not prevent his
attendance upon his professional du
ties. On last Thursday, while Dr.
Smith was attending court at Jeffer-
son, Jackson couuty, the paralysis
affecting his tongue became complete,
depriving him altogether of the power
of sp « i-h. In other respects lie seemed
not wor.-e than he had been for some-
tin e Since his return home, and on
Friday evening last, he had several
severe convulsions, which are regarded
by his physician as unfavorable indi
cations. At this writing Dr. Smith is
more comfortable, and together with
his many warm and attached friends
here and throughout the State, who
are and will he greatly saddened at
this intelligence, we hope for his
speedy recovery and his complete
restoration to his family, his friends
and his profession to which he has
devoted so many years a useful and
most valuable service.

The concert given by Burns’ Band
for the purpose of buyiu'g uniforms for
the members, came off Monday night.
Our hour for going to press prevents
us from giving these excellent gentle
men such a notice as they deserve,
and therefore, with this short preface
we can only append the programme.
All the entertainments given by this
organization have been delightful treats
to our citizens, and have also been the
most chaste and enjoyable occasions
ever given by any amateurs in our city.
It is but fair, therefore, to presume that
this one will eclipse auy heretofore
given. The native talent has been
chosen with care, and numbers the
best within the city limits. Miss
Pauline Wurnu, of Atlanta, sister of
Prof. Alfr< d Warm, who possesses
rare and musical attainments, is also
engaged to appear. If you did not
attend yon missed a treat. The fol

More Now Stores.
We understand that Mr. Hunnicut
intends at early day, to put up three
good store houses on the vacant lot
between J. C. Wilkins and Dr. Smith’s
drug store. This is a. good move and
one which will add considerable to the
appearance of Broad street. Improve
ment is the watch-word, and we say,
‘ Let ’er roll.”
New Warehouse.
We learn that Mr. R. L. Moss and
John Thomas, Esq., have recently pur
chased a portion of the lot, on Clayton
street, belonging to Mr. James Gallo
way, and will build thereon a commo
dious warehouse. The building will
run through from Clayton to Market
street, making it, we believe 100x218
feet. This is a very desirable site and
in easy access to tho business of the
city. We understand tho sum paid
for the naked lot was $2,000. This
will be, when finished, one of the lar
gest warehouses in the State, and will
prove a great benefit to our merchants
and cotton buyers. Let the good work
go on.

X*olloe Notes.
Very few arrests were made
during the week for violations of city
ordinances.
Den Culp chased the thief that stole
Pat Lester’s fine mare as far as Atlan
ta. He was unsuccessful, and re
turned home last Monday night.
Harrison Winfrey, colored, who
abstracted a package of money,
amounting to $780 from Mr. Crit
MacMahan’s safe, in Crawford, was
overhauled by Lieut. Culp and James
O’Farrell and $350 of the amount
stolen recovered.
Carrie Adams, the girl that com
mitted infantricide is still confined to
her bed. She will be tried at an early
day.

Now and Then.—It is only now
and then that such men as Hon. Alex.
II. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and
Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a
medicine for thef throat and iungs, and
when they ko it is pretty good evidence
that the remedy must be good for the
cure of coughs, colds and luug affec
tions. They recommend the Globe
Flower Cough Syrup, and their
testimonials are to be seen round the
ten cent sample bottles of the Globe

—We were pleased to welcome to
onr sanctum, last week, Prof. Frank
Schuller, ot Sewaneo University,
Trim. Prof. Schuller is visiting his
children, who arc at school with their
grandmother, Madame Sosnowski,
and will return to his professional
duties next week. Together with his
numerous friends in Athens, wo wish
him a joy'Jins stay in our midst. As
an able professor, and as a thoroughly
cultivated and literary gentleman,
Col. SuhaHcf ranks high in the
Sewanee University, and it is a mat
ter of regret with many that his
talent and scholarly attainments have
not been secured to Georgia.
Wc were honored on last Friday
with a eall from Mm Findley, Esq.,
Editor of tho North Georgian, pub
fished in ’Gainesville. Mr. Findley
visited Athens in tho interest of his
most excellent paper, and we hope
he met with such encouragement and
success as will induce him to visit
often our city. Our merchants and
business men will find it to be greatly
to their interest to advertise in the
Gainesville’ papers, which arc so
widely circulated throughout North
Georgia.*'
—Miss Annie Maria Barnes, known
in literary and journalistic circles as
“ Cousin Annie,’’ was in Athens last
week in the interest of that sprightly
and newsy little paper, The Aean-
thus, of which she is the editress and
proprietress. Miss Barnes was quite
successful having obtained nearly one
hundred subscribers, which number
would have been increased had she
remained longer in onr city. Site
expressed herself delighted with
Athens and promised lo visit us
again at an early day. We wish her
abundant success in her most praise
worthy enterprise.
—We were made happy one day
last week by the presence of Capt.
Ben. Davis, the traveling agent for the
Atlanta Daily Tribune, and whose
bright smiles and jovial nature sheds
joy and gladness whereso’er he goes.
The Tribune is one of the newsiest,
most readihle and neatly executed of
our daily exchanges and deserves that
success which we trust is the sure and
certain reward of its able and valuable
journalistic efforts. We congratulate
the Tribune upon securing the services
of so excellent and popular an agent
as Capt. Davis,

which had caught on fire the flames

“German Syrup.”—No other
medicine in the world was ever given
such a test of its curative qualities
as Bosehee’sGentian Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred Hints,
sand small bottles of this medicine
were distribnted free of charge by
Druggists in this country to those
afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia
( and other diseases ot the Throat and
Lungs, giving the American people
undeniable proof that German Syrup
will cure them. The result has been
that Druggists in every town and
village in-the United States arc re
commending it to their customers.
Go to your Druggist, and ask what
they know about it. Sample Bottles
10 cents. Regular size 75 cents.
Three doses will relieve any case.

A French cynic says “Love is the
dawn of marriage ; matrimony is the
sunset of love.’’
There is a proverb in Suabia: “ A

one, never.

bear any evil.”

’Tis like eating an onion—you weep aud eat

is needless to say that he went out on

A Very good Reason.—The rea
son why only one sample bottle of
Merrell’s Hepatine for the Liver *
will be sold to the same person, for ter
cents, by our Druggist, C. W. Long &
Co. is becauseof the enormous expense of
importing the Hepatine into this coun
try ; but as there are fifty doses in the
large size bottles, it seems two cents
per dose is cheap enough after all for a
medicine that cures dyspepsia and liv
er complaint. All who have not had
a sample bottle are entitled to one for
ten cts. at C. W. Long & Co., Drug
store. Three doses relieves any case
of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion
or liver complaint, in the world.
