of her proportions and one which

Thus a rapidity aud solidity of
development marked that period
of Athenian history which soon
gave our town no inconsiderable
importance in commercial circles,
gaining for our merchants in the
Northern markets a credit second
to none in the South. Indeed, it
was then, more perhaps than, dur
ing any other period of our city’s
history, Athens and her people
gained, throughout the length and
breadth of the country, that repu

A WELL MANAGED ENTERPRISE.
We learn from the Macon Tclc-
that the Commissioners of the
•culty under a magnifying glass, was
■cast, it is said, in 1850 and an effort
was made at that time lo complete the
printing, hut the compositors and
proofreaders were obliged to give up
from tlie destructive effect upon the
eyes, and work upon it was not re
sumed until 1873, when, on account
of the difficulties of the proof reading,
which he was attached, a companion

Wright was a son of Ihe late Gen. A.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 11, 1880.
It Ims been some time sines I
have had the pleasure of sending
the Banner a lew lines, and I
h^c regretted it. 1 have been
actuated by two motives. In the
first place, circumstances over
which I had no control, have pre
vented me from writing, and then
the indefatigable correspondents
of the Chronicle send so many
Atlanta letters (xvith so little in
them) that my sympathies for
tbe community was the main rea
son for niy silence. Knowing
the above named correspondents
xvere two gentlemen of brilliant
reputation as letter writers, I
could not hope my letters would
interest when their's failed. We
scarcely hear anything but Rail
road talk here, at present. It is
!*' decidedly a “Boom.” The last
verything. They must have to get
into heaven backward. [Laughter.]

There was a good deal of excite
ment in the theatrical world a
week ago over a
named Paulding. A' large
number of citizens have
signed ' a petition inviting
him back to Atlanta. He will
make a reputation I have no
doubt. He was ■ considered al
most equal to Booth in Hamlet
I saw him in “The Fool’s Re

will return to .Atlanta this month.

THE BEST NEWSPAPER IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
Its Miscellaneous Reading Matter is selected with care that there shall be nothing in its columns which
cannot he read with interest aud profit—nothing which the most scrupulous parent would object to hav
ing any member of his family read. Special attention is given and will continue to be given to
The State News Department,
Of the BANNER, which will be the most complete and condensed record of sayings and doings of inter
est throughout the entire State, to be found in the columns ot any paper. Recognizing the fact that peo
ple now-a-days want the latest news given to them stripped of unnecessary verbiage, the BANNER has
adopted for its motto,
TIIE MOST NEWS IN THE LEAST SPACE
And confidently calls attention to its columns as proof of tho rigid observance of the motto.
A LITERARY DEPARTMENT
Will soon bo made u special feature of the paper, in which will he found each week a Story intercslin» in
plot and pure and attractive in style, and Poetry of superior excellence. In short it is intended to nmke
the BANNER tho best Family and News paper Northeast Georgia has ever had, and tho very low price
at which it is put enables every family to secure a weekiy visit from it from year's end to year's -»d.
THE DAILY BANNER
• Is the Weekly in minature. and though but little more than two mouths old, is generally conceded If*
if thebest paper Athens ever had, and the sprightliest one ot its age in the State. Its special mission
to srive to create aud foster that public spirit in Athens which is so much needed and for which the
place has suffered aud is suffering more than her people seem to be conscious of, -\nd it will therefore al
ways be found ready to encourage auy effort that tends toincrease the prosperity and add to the life ot
Athens. It will contain all the local news of the day and full end correct reports of the local market,
and the rest of its space will bo dovoted to tho general news, first, of the State; and then of the country
at large, fresh and interesting reading matter, and brief and pertinent editorial comments- In a word,
will continue to b e tl>e model little daily of the State. ; ,
