Less than a month ago Prof. Wad. dell, of the State University, left bis home for a tnp of pleasure and recre. atmn in the North. Although gteatly fatigued from his labors during the past sees,o„ 0 f the college exercises, when he left Athens there was nothing to cause his family or friends to be apprehensive of early death. But, the grim destroyer, ever' stalking abroad in the land, striking down with relentless hand victims with which to crowd the thoroughfare to the for be ypnd, pfowd, his icy grasp on Prof. Waddell while en rente home, and t’AFT. R. H. lampkin. claimed him aa his own at a time and plac«|vvhere family nor friends could not smooth the dying pillor nor catch the last whisper of life from the lira of him whose love and affection was ever a source of joy to those composing the circle in which he moved. The sad news of his death which occurred at Millford, Va., reached the eity at Thursday noon last and cast a gloom of sorrow over onr entire p.»p niece. His remains reached here by an extra train over the North-east Road at 1 p. m., Saturday, where a large concourse of sorrowing friends were in waiting at the Depot from whence the remains were taken to the cemetery and buned. At 11 o'clock on 8unday morning tho usual services being omitted at all the churches, all took their way sadly to the Chapel, there to do honor to the beloved and lamented dead. The Chapel was appropriately and beauti fully draped in mourning, as if the veiy walls were conscious that a long- familiar voice was hushed in the last ing silence of death. The body of the house was filled to its utmost capacity and many were obliged to seek seats in the gallery. After the singing of that beautiful hymn, “Nearer my God to Thee,” Dr. H. H Tucker offered prayer. Dr. Lane then read a part of that grand chapter on the resurrec tion, 1st! Corinthians,] XV. chapter. Dr. Tucker then offered a most touch ing and pathetic prayer. He was succeeded by Dr. Lane, who taking as the foundation of his remarks, the words “Ho being dead yet speaketh,” dwelt upon the high and noble exam ple of earnest devotion ts duty in his private and official relations to the church which the life of Prof. Wad dell afforded. Dr. Lane was followed by Dr. Lipscomb, whose long and intimate relations, both social and official, with Prof. Waddell peculiarly qualified him to speak of his many virtues and excellencies. Dr. Lips* comb in his usual tuuchiug and elo quent manner portrayed the character of the man, the professor and the Christian, dwelling upon tho heroism and devotion with which, through trial and suffering, the beloved professor had ever discharged his dulifs. A Christian gentleman—a kind bus- band, father, friend and tutor, has passed from earth. His learned coun cils, his deeds of love and kindness are and will remain fresh in the hearts of the people, and, although the mem ory of bis form and features and the sound of his voice may fade into the twilight of the past and die opon the ear, his virtues and examples will fly into the future to cheer and enlighten those who come after him.

The audience was pet fectly delighted with the rendition of each peice and every actor and performer gave eve denco of superior talent At the close of the exercises the Silver Card Case offered to the person selling the high est number of tickets was presented to Miss Emmie Vonderlieth, who sold 193 tickets. Mias Vonderlieth then offered the Case for sale for the bene fit of the sufferers. Ii was purchased by Mr. A. B. Scott for *10 who pre sented it to Miss Blanche Clinard who had sold 193 tickets, only three less than Miss Vonderlieth. Miss Clinard then placed it at]Mr. Mandeville’s to be raffled together with another prize given by Mr. Mcndeville, and we learn that sixty chances were taken at fifty cents per chance for both prizes. The card case was won by Lieut. Hull who gave it to Miss Vons derlieth, the original owner. The other was won by Mr. Charles Scud- der for Miss Blanche Clinard. Including what bod been previously collected for the yellow fever sufferers the entertainment and auction sales of different articles, Athens has contribu ted about $800 in money, besides a great deal of clothing which has been made up by the ladies’ working com mittees m the different wards All praise is due to Misses Vonder- lirth and Clinard for the deep interest taken by them in aid of the sufferers; also to the members ot Burns’ Silver Cornet Ba’d, Capt. W. H Jones in particular, whose time, talent and money is always freely given to the demands of charity. Capt. Jones immediately forwarded proceeds to President of the Howard Association at Memphis with instructions to send *100 to the sufferers at Vicksburg and tbe remainder to be distributed aa the judgement of the Association may dictate. Capt .B. EL Lampkin, Proprietor of the Exchange Hotel and Bar, has an advertisement in our “ preferred 1 ” local column to which we call attention. He is prepared to feed a regiment on the best the land affords, at any hour, day or night, and cheaper than anybody. He is prepared to furnish a battalion with'' ^ beds, cotton or feather, with pure water to wash in, a hair brush and peart comb with which to dress your hair, a gilt mirror in which to see your pretty self, and a carpet to stand on while all this is going on. Lieutenant General O. H. Harbin does the agreeable at the bar, and has tbe reputation of being as good an officer and as clever a fellow as ever held a commission in the busi ness. Bob Lampkin says that if he can only see Billups elected to Congress and Jep Rncker re-elected Mayor he can die happy. F. L. XVlnktor, Watchmaker and Jeweler, has an advertisement in this issue to which we call attention. Mr. Winkler is an experienced workman and gives gen eral satisfaction in his work and prices. Like beanlifhl jewels in brazen set tings are handsome features upon a face marred by signs of blood poison- inff. Tho ereat purifier of tho blood is Dr. Bnll’s Blood Mixture.

He will be remembered as a gallant Confederate soldier from the State of Kentucky, who. being cut off from home, spent some time in our dty, after the close of the war. He is now with a whole sale, liquor house in Baltimore. —If you want to find out where you can get everything in thp HARD WARE line at bottom rock figures, search the columns of the Banner for the advertisement of Childs, Nickerson [Communicated.] "Wltat are tliey Goins to do •'ij It - ? A.v' Mr. Editor:—Have the business men and property holders of Athens made up their minds to sit down qui etly, and let the trade which we have been building up for three or four years past, bo taken away from us, fo^ the want of a little exertion on our pan? Compare the trade of Athens with what it was before the North-eastern Railroad was comply, ted to Lula—imagine what,will be the condition of things if we lose what we have gained, and then let each citizen of Athens ask himself what he will do to make things better and not worse. Four years ago the trade of Athens was pitiful compared with what it is now. Atlanta aud Augusta not only supplied the great majority of the people of the surrounding country with their groceries, dry goods, hard ware, and every thiug else they needed, bnt even onr own citizens were sending off for what they com. Burned. Now she sells the cotton of twenty counties and supplies them with their groceries, dry goods, hardware, feoks, arid everything else they use, and Augnsta and Atlanta are bewailing their lost trade, but with no hope of regaining it, if tee are true to ourselves. Now are the business men of Athens disposed to let the golden opportunity slip, not only of keeping the trade they have built up, but of vastly increasing it ? Are they con tent to rest upon their lamcls in tho hope that they can, without further effort, hold on to what they have got. and that more enterprising lo calities will not make at least an effort to get it away from them ? If they son - have any such idea, we tell them can didly that they "are “ reckoning without their host.” Already the Elberton people have nearly comple ted their road to the Air Lino. How many bales of cotton and how much trade will the completion of this road take away from Athens?? The loss of this trade at present ts inevitable, as the Elberton Air Line Road is al most in accomplished fact, and before another twelve months will be in active operation. It is not the (iart ot wisdom, then, to look around for some reason, to supply the deficiency which will be created by the loss of tho trade of Elbert and Hart conn ties ? How can this be done ? We answer, by extending the North eastern Railroad to or beyond Clai kes- ville. Every one acquainted with the facts know that at present the wag on trade of nearly all the section of country beyond the Air Line Road goes to Gaiuesvillo or Mt. Airy, where the produce is shipped on the Air Line Road. Com, wheat, chick cus, eggs, apples and eveivthing else produced in that section, are shipped direct to Atlanta, and why ? Because Atlanta is a better market ? By no means ; but because they are shipped for one freight; whereas, If they ate shipped to Athens they pay freight over two roads, and the express charges are double. Thousands of dollars worth of produce is going to Atlanta every day on this account, most of which would come to Ath ens if the North-eastern Road was finished to Clarkesville or beyond. This can be verified by any one who will take the trouble to look into the matter. All, or nearly all, ot this trade could be secured to Athens if the Notth-eastem road were extended to Clarksville ; because, then, ship, pers could save hauling eight or ten miles to reach the railroad, and the North-eastern being the most conve nient road, the produce would be XVorklngt Committees. In addition to the working com mittees appointed at the Relief Meet ing last week, and which we publish below, at the suggestion of the Chair a motion was made and unanimously adop'ed that our colored fellow citi zens be invited to co-operate in the good work, and that a committee of three colored citizens in each ward of the city, and in each militia district of the opunty, be appointed to solicit contributions for the yellow fever sufferers: * .V'WHITE.

Mr. George Mahaffey, who lives near Hog Mountain, lost a little boy cine years old, the other day, under the fallowing 6ad circumstances.- He was in his lather’s cotton house, and is supposed to have been trying to stand on his head. Being unable to do so, he dug a hole in the cotton about three feet deep, entered head foremost, and in this position died, it is thought by being smothered- When found he was p* rfectly cold. Wo sympathize with the bereaved family. Col. Speer will address the people of Ben Smith’s District at Dillard’s Cross Ronds Oct. 2nd, and at J. R. Ttgle’s Store on the 3rd. Wo hope Col. Rucker will be on hand to give him a duckirg. Col. Billups made a splendid speech at faiwrencerille this week. Many were converted and many more are repenting of their Independeniisra. I was informed by some respecta ble gentlemen last week that Col. speer had another attack of hay fe ver while taking a little recreation at Green R. Dukes. We are afraid if the Col. don’t quit exposing himself bis frequent indisposition will under- mln^his constitution and he will not be able to sit in tbe Capitol when elected. I had a conversation with one of Mr. Speer’s friends a few days ago, and he told me that, after due con sideration of the matter, and in view ot the probable results that would follt.yr Mr. Spi-er’s election, he could no longer support him. He said if <• knew himself he was a Democrat shipped direct to Athens, for the and if lie voted for Speer he did not same reason that it is now .-cut to Atlanta, viz: Because it would nave to pass over but one road. There is another particular in which Athens wonld be greatly ben- efitted by the extension of the North eastern road: The travel to the up- countrv of Georgia this year has been unprecedented, and it will con tinue from year to year and increase in volume. Of the thousands who have gone into North-eastern Geor gia this year, bow many have passed through Athens ? Not ono in a hun dred. And yet, if you will look at the map you will see that the most natural and direot route is through Athens. But to reach Clarluvi le and the Falls now, tourists have to change cars at Athens, then again at Lola; while by going via Atlanta, there is bnt one change o cars. Exs tend our road to Clarksville and eventually to Tallulah Falls, ami the tide of travel through Athens would be immense. The result would he tbe building of a large hotel to ac commodate the travelling public— thousands would remain here for n day, or a week, or longer, either go ing or coming, and every resident of the town wonld be bencfiited. In view of ol! these facts and con gideratious, would it not be wise on the pa’t of our people to make a strong, vigorous and determined ef fort to extend the North-eastern Road Jbeyond the Air Lino at *tho earliest practicable moment ? Senex. know whether be would vote for a Democrat or not. Another gentle man was present, both of influence, and he took the same portion aa that taken by tbe first one. It is a great pleasure for me to say, Mr. Editor, that the organized ranks are daily gaining strength. Now aud then we have a blast from a Speer horn, but like the bubbles of the aca they soon cease to be seen or heard. A Billups Man. —Our friend C. W. Asbury is again in Athens.

Got it Down Wrong. The Toccoa Herald of thn 14lh inst says, in an article headed “Rev. Iliram P. Bell: ” 1 This is the, gen tleman who, it will be remetnoered, made solemn promises to Hr. H. H. Carlton and his friends nt the Con vention that nominated him, ‘hat if they wonld only nominate him that time, he wonld use his influence in securing the nomination for Dr. Carl ton the next time. Dr. Carlton and his friends accepted tbe proportion and Bell was nominated and elected.’’ Col. Bell, did, after bis nomination, state to a number of gentlemen of in fluence throughout the District, that all he desired was an endorsement by an election to the 45th Congress, and then most solemnly, voluntarily, and without solicitation, plodged himself ’hat, if so endorsed by an election, he would not bo a candidate again. But no such proposition ns the Herald states was made by Mr. Boll to, o*- accepted by, DrI Carlton and his friends. If the Herald will only possess itself with patieuee.lt will learn, at the proper time, the truth and all about this matter. Be calm, be patient, less you should fall into error. OEITUABY. Mbs.
