of Athens.
We read reports from all over the
state of boys and girls who will come
here next year io attend these institu

find that is the intention of many to
take a course at Athens.
The demand for catalogues so far has
larger than usual. It seems that the
advantages of an education here are
becoming appreciated more and more
every day, and that Georgia people are
at last realizing the worth of their in
stitutions.
Especially gratifying is it to-note the
great number who'express their in
tention of coming here from the farm

MORNING JULY
1891
THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY
FIVE TO ONE-
It is interesting to look upon the
'statistics compiled by the Depart
ment of War bearing upon the civil
wtr, and there is something very
striking in the great odds thus dis
■ played against which the South bad
to battle. Following is a statement
of the number of soldiers sent by
each State to the Federal army :
Alabama,.... 2,576
Ark«nua 8,289
California. 15,725
Colorado 4,908
Connecticut... .57,379
liakotah 206
Delaware 18,070
Diet. Colombia, 16,872
Illinois 252,147
Indiana 182.147
Iowa 76,809
Kansas. 20,151
Kentucky 79,025
Louisiana 5,224
Maine 72,114
Maryland 50,816
Massachusetts, 152,146
Minnesota, 25,052
Mississippi 645
From this table it is seen that
total of 2,659 550 white soldiers were
in the Federal army, coming from
every State in the Union except four,
Georgia, South Carolina Florida,
and Virginia. Besides these white
soldiers there were 3,540 Indians and
93,441 negroes, making a grand total
of 2,756,441, so that the South con
tended against at least four or five
to one. Even the seceded States
furnished more tories to the Union
army, excepting the four named,than
the same States had furnished sol
diers tothe Revolution of our fore
fathers.
A correspondent to |the Banner
calls our attention to the striking
faqfc in this connection that New
York and Pennsylvania alone sent to
the army more soldiers than the
Sonth, namely 833,154. The same is
true of Blinds, Indiana and Ohio,
they having sent out 770,953, mak
ing 1,604,107, furnished by these five
States.
“Is it a wonder, then,” asks our
correspondent, “that with five to one
against us, the South was finally
subjugated,Grant and Sherman hav
ing countless hordes at their com
mand, like Caesar and Alexander
were deified, while Lee, Johnson,
Jackson and Gordon are in obscu
rity to the Northern mind and are
left by the Government unwept, an
honored and unsung ?”
Everything Is Being Arranged to
Make a Grand Display in the FaN-
It begius to look as if Augusta was
going to have a good show in the Fall.
All arrangements for a grand Expo
sition are now being made, and all indi
cations point to a great success.
Col. T»_ P. Henry, Secretary of the
Exposition Company is sending the fol
lowing circulars throughout the State:

ABOUT TO GIVE OUT.
Tha Camp Appropriations Running
Low.
Atlanta, Ga., July 1-[Special.]—
It was developed that the fund for en
campment has about run out and there
is a great probability of the Atlanta and
Augusta companies having no encamp
ment.
The money has given out more rapid
ly than expected and it is now found
that something like three thousand dol
lars will be needed in excess of the
amount already provided. Quarter
master General West 'acknowledges
that the treasury is running low but ho
stya the boys need not be worried as pro
visions to raise the money will nndoubt
edly be made.
The boys are not however, so confl
dent. At a meeting of the officers of the
fourth Georgia Battalion, last night it
was determined that, uukss the Gov
ernor can guarantee that the money
w 11 be forth coming, th«* forth Battalion
will not go in camp. The only
remedy seems to be in legislature,
which may allow them to draw on

the kick, if I may be allowed the ex

The immediate cause of it all is the

Savannah seems to still prevail, and all
the rest of us have to suffer. The man

other extreme, just as far as it was pos

New York. July 1.—Miss Lizzie Cun

the Barge office. Lizzie, with a couain,
arrived on the City of Chicago, and the
pair waited at the Barge office for the

Inth< afternoon Lizzie’s sister turned
up, and the greeting was very cordial
until the latter polled the covering off a
2-months-old babe which she earned in
her arms. The babe was ebony in its
blackness, and Miss Cunningham faint

infant tried to explain to Lizzie chat the
child was well derived, atthes&me time
beckoning to a sturdy colored man who
stood in the background. The colored
man approached to be introduced to hL

Offered Prayer.
Greensboro, N. C m July 1.—The

There was an immense crowd present,
as the case was of unparalleled interest.
Some of the ablest lawyers of the state
were engaged on both sides, Judge Gil
mer and Judge Dillard representing Mr.
Fife.
Mr. Fife stated that if he had made
any remarks reflecting upon the charac
ter of Mrs. Schenck it was a mistake,
and he asked forgiveness. Mr. Fife of
fered his hand to the judge, who said
the apology was sufficient.
Judge Schenck arose sobbing like a
child, and stated that he had done wrong
and he apologized for it.
"I thank God,” he said, "that it is
over."
He and Mr. Fife shook hands and the
trial was declared discontinued. Upon
motion of Judge Gilmer, the crowd sang

Mr. Fife offered prayer.

When one has work of an artistic nature to be executed, he naturally fai

OUR TYRE RACES ARE ALL NEW.
In The Banner Job Office there is to be found the largest selection of

vitation card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to us. a
fact, we qave the best selection of type for any kind of work that is printed.
THE BANNER JOB PRINTERS.
No matter how good material a shop may have, without skilled mechanics
the best results cannot be obtained. It is even so iu a printing office. We bat*
the most artis&c and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer you to samples o
our work for proof of this assertion. After all, one’s work is the best way jJ
which to judge his ability. We have no “cubs” to “butcher” work.
•slOUR PRESSES.^-
Without good presses, it is impossible to turn out first-class work. Many
jobs, whicli are otherwise artistic, are spoiled by poor press wore. In 1“
