We had a pleasant call, on Satur

the popular, intelligent, and hand
some traveling agent of tho Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist. He
is the worthy representative of one
of the best dailey papers in the
Southern country. Mr- M. possesses
naturally, a contented disposition,
but just now he is troubled about
what disposition the Democracy
should make of Mr. Stephens.
We also acknowledge a pleasant
call from our friends, Wilson, Fargo,
and Cashin, of the Dramatic Troupe,
of Augusta. Glad to see you, gents.
Call again—call early and often and

before him.
His personation of the “Texas

leading specialties.

The Grand Excursion.
All arrangements have been made
for the Masonic Excursion to Toccoa
Falls on the 24tli, and it promises to
be the finest affair of the kind ever
given from Athens, the object not be

grand good time aud allow all to vis*

Preparations have been made for a
grand Barbecue which will be free to

were pleased to see our friend and
former townsman, Capt. A. A. Winn,
occupying a prominent position on
his Excellency’s staff.
Capt. W.—is one of the vetrans of
the “lost cause,’’having left this
city in April 1861, with the Athens
Guards, who, formed a part of that
famous and gallant command, the
Third Georgia. His brother, Capt.
W. A. Winn, who commanded the
Mell Volunteers of Cobbs, Ga,
Legion was killed late in the
war and he (Capt, A. A. W.)
was elected from the 3rd Georgia
to succeed him, which command he
served with until captured with his
whole brigade at Sailors Creek three
days before General Lee surrendered.
Since his residence in the Forest
City, he has been untiring in his
elYorts to carry the trade of this
section to Savannah, aud we are
pleased to say has generally been
successful!.
We are always proud of our
Athens “boys” particularly those
who show so much pluck and energy.

Dentil ut Dr. Crawford W.
This distinguished Physician and
most highly esteemed citizen of
Athens, died on Sunday morning last,
of paralysis of the brain, at the re
sidence of Dr. H. II. Carlton, whilst
in the discharge oi* his professional
duties.* ; *»*<*■•#****’*
His iuiiumcrablu virtues both as a
physician am) a citizen are too well
known to all of our people in Athens
and the surrounding country to need
any euiogittm from our feeble pen.
His name and fame however, is not
confiued to this community, nor to
our state—his wonderful contribu
tion to science and tbe great boon
to suffering humanity throughout the
civilised world, iH^his application of
Anaesthesia (by means of Sulphuric
Ether) in surgical operations will ever
accord him a prominent placo in the
great teinpleof the world’s benefac
tors.
Dr. Long was born in Danielsville,
Madison eounty, Nov. 1st, 1815,was
a graduate of the University of
Georgia, and of the Mediqpl Depart
ment of tho University of Pennsyl
vania. The 3Iethodist Church with
pride ever claimed him as one of its
most faithful and devoted members,
His great merit as a Physician and
Surgeon was only equaled by his re
markable modesty and gentleness—
which were ever manifest. Iu all the
relations cf life, aud in all the traits
of character which ennoble and dignify
humanity, his life was but an illustra
tion of its highest type, that of the
Christian gentleman.

The suggestion of the Southern

the arrival of the Georgia railroad
train our populace were on the alert,
watching with eager expectancy for
the arrival of the troupe, and ready
to make them at once comfortable
and pleasant. All the available
hacks aud omnibusscs oi the city were
brought into requisition and at the
proper hour were in readiness at the
depot to bring our welcome guests
to the city. In addition to the
troupe, with Miss Johnson, of Char

Presents itself to those who use
Parker’s Hair Balsam, in the discovery
of its rare and remarkable merits.
Many have written us expressing theii
defight in the fact that it works like a
charm. Its disinfectant properties in
chemical combination rendering il
healthful, cleansing and healing are
bearing fruit, and the beautiful hair it
produces, with the clean, healthy scalp,
entirely freed from Dandruff and fal
ling hair, are achievements for which
we have reason to "feel proud. A
patron assures us that he has used
twelve different Hair Preperations and
that Parker’s Hair , Balsam surpasses
them all. To hair that has become
gray or faded, it restores that beauti
ful natural color of youth, and produ
ces a vigor and luxuriance that sur
prises every one. Buy a bottle from

To these artistic qualities must be
