Mr. Editor—Permit me through
the columns of vonr valuable papei
to ex | ress my thanks to all and every
one, w o so kindly assisted me at my
4 Benefit Concert,’’ and pre-eminently
to the ladies, as to their assistance,
the success of the Concert was largely
due. I shall always cherish a kindly
feeling for the “ Burns’ Stiver Cornet
Band’’ and trust I duly appreciate
the generous motives that prompted
them to tender me the compliment
of a benefit. I am justly proud of
the rank the Band occupy in the
musieal world. To tho many parties
who contributed to the success of the
undertaking, I will always in the
future endeavor to merit the patron*
age, so liberally accorded in the past.

poems with the above title, from the
pen of that gifted author, Rev. A.
Means, D. D., L. L. D. It is from
the press ofE. J, Hale & Son, pub
lishers, Murray street, New York,
and contains 216 pages.
The subjects treated by the learned
author, while embracing nearly
everything under the different head
ings of literary science, have but one
tendency, to-wit: The defence and
advancement of religion and morals.
This eminent Divine, while natur
ally gifted with a comprehensive
mind, has not been content to leave
it. uncultivated, and by bard study
and unceasing devotion to Christian
duty has done as much for the moral
and intellectual advancement of his
race as any man in Georgia. While
this is true he has borne his crosses
of sorrow like oilier men and is,
consequently, better prepared to.
analyze subjects than those who let
the world move as it will.
In commenting upon the work the
Macon Telegraph *£• Messenger says :
Some of the poems exhibit decided
genius, and all are chaste and agree
able. We are forced to be content
with presenting the reader witli two
specimens only, each as diverse as
the poles from each other.
Dear wife of my bosom ! when youthful and
gay,
AVe met on the eve of our bright, wedding day,
In the blush of young beauty you stood by mv
tide,
And my heart hailed with rajture its lovely
young bride.
But twenty-tour autnmers imv.- since lulled
away
And tho glossy brown locks have been softened
A staid, cLcerful toother now site by my side —
The matron more loved than tho beautiful bride.
Agaiu, he concludes a poem on the
Christian Sabbath as follows:
Great God, how grand! The ecstatio visions
true!
The Eternal. Subbath sheds it uiornin;
Undimmed by shadows und uuspeut
While glory, streaming from Jehovah’s eye,
Floods Heaven with boundless bliss, and wakes
The hallelujaba of u world redeemed.
We hope and beliuvethe work will
have a lavge sale. Orders may be
sent to T. A. Burke, Athens, Ga.

A majority of the most successful
merchants in the country—those who
have amassed large fortunes—testify
that they owe much of their success
to constant and judicious advertising.
By having their names always paraded
before the public gaze it Daturally
attracts the attention of the reader,
and curiosity, if nothing else, would
lead the multitude to investigation
for the purpese of ascertaining why
the advertiser was always making
such a “blow.” Again, the business
and enterprise of a town or city is
often judged of by the appearance of
the papers aud periodicals published
thereat. If the stranger sees flam'
ing advertisements ot all kinds of
business in a paper he concludes
forthwith that the place at which it
is published is alive with enterprise
and he is immediately attracted
thereto, and all who come contribute
their mite to swelling the coffers of
that place. These are truths that
cannot be denied. < *

Gray has rented the store formerly oc
cupied by Mr. B. L. Moss and will at

been well drilled by his experienced
father and has '"already established a
reputation as a dry goods man.
Next is-tlie Hotel Fearless Stove,
No. 10, and is the largest cookiug
stove ever brought to Athens. To
give an idea of the size of the stove
we will mention that its weight is
825 pounds and the oven measures
30 x 36 inches. This Range and
stove will be on exhibition at tlic
above house for several days and
housewives would do well to call and
see them. Duplicates of the same

.Died
On yesterday (Monday) morning
of congestion of the lungs, at the
residence of her husband, in this city,
Mrs. Fannie, wife of L. Bradshaw,
and daughter of Mr. B. O. W.
Rost. An obedient and affectionate
daughter, devoted wife and mother
has passed away. The grief stricken
husband and parents have our heart
felt sympathy.
We contend that it would not only
lie money and but money made to
the proprietors if every business firm
in the city of Athens would ltcep a
standing advertisement in the local
papers. No one can look at our
advertising columns and judge of the
importance of Athens as a point of
busiuess. Wo have a few liberal
advertisers in the city and they, no
doubt, will decide with us that ad
vertising pays. At all events they
lead histrnde. Then, for the advance
ment of the city’y interest as a com
mercial centre—for the advancement
of individual interests, and as an
encouragement to the printer whose
time, talent and money is devoted to
upholding and advancing every in
terest and enterprise we contend
it is the duty of the business men

come more liberal advertisers.

a splendid three story brick siorc on

are to be of modern style, and he has
it leased lor five years. Messrs.
Reaves A Nicholson are erecting an
addition to their large store that
will have a frontage of 52 feet and a
depth of 90 feet. They will, this
summer, also enlarge tlu-ir cotton
ware sheds aud yard so that it will
receive 30,000 instead of20,000 bales.
I learn from a reliable source that this
firm last year sold $1,20,000 worth of
goods. That is of dry goods, gro
ceries, bacon, flour, etc. The gas
works arc to lie enlarged. . Then
Messrs. Talmadge A Hudson will
make extensive additions and im
provements to their business house.
This firm of energetic, worthy young
men (four in number ) are new selling
$40,000 worth of goods. Their stock
is a mixed one. The founder of this
firm commenced business in 1867,
and by selling apples. Mr. Edwards,
Superintendent of the Northeast rail
road, has just completed a beautiful
cottage near the college grounds,
There are several fancy cottages to be
erected during this season. The next
legislature should certainly make a
liberal appropriation for the purpose
of remodeling and the painting of the
old revered college buildings and
fence. We don’t like to make any
unpleasant suggestions but with so
good a hotel keeper, it strikes us the
old stand by of a hotel should be re
modeled, and the old-fashioned form
ture replaced with something new
and stylish.
The business outlook of the plac
indicates a greatly increased vitality
and go-ahead spirit. When the
question fs asked, “ Why is this so ?”
But onte answer is given, and I believ
it is the ttuc one'. “ It is owing to
the buildihg and'liberal management
