. A 1S8AV MOfiNING i [891 — — TOM WATSON AT HARMONY GROVE- Congressman Thomas £. Watson speaks toaday at Harmony Grove, and will doubtless have a large au dience. His speech will be in advo cacy of the principles of the Alliance it is presumed. Col. Watson is go ing into ground held sacred to"de mocracy and will in all probability keep the third party side of his mouth shut during his speech and talk with the democratic side. Col. Watson says he is as good a democrat as breathes the breath of life, and for the time around Jackson county ter stick pretty close Old Jackson county is trained in the arena of democracy and knows how to put independents to sleep. And she would not hesitate to treat third partyites in like manner. We believe Col. Watson is trying to get back into anyhow.

The American fanner is not a fool and is not willingly parted from his money. On thefiret day of last June accord ing to the resolution of the commission in charge of affairs, the negro college was temporarily located in Athens in theBaxter street school building. The purpose of establishing it there were two-fold, to get' the college in good condition, and to help adjust the differences existing between Governor Northen and Secreta ry N. ble in regard to the distribution of the Morrill bill fund for education. Roth of these purposes have been sub served. The college is moving along smoothly and the differences have been adjusted.

And tbe prize to be won is the may oralty of Athens. At least it looks that way now, and the probability is that it will be so. Yesterday in discussing the proba bilities of the coming race the name of Hon. Henry C. Tuck, ex representative from Clarke in the Gen eral Assembly was mentioned, and it took exceedingly well. It is not known whether Mr. Tuck haa ever been approached on this' sub ject, but his friends say they are going to use their best endeavors to get him to enter the race. 'He may or may not enter the lists, but if he does‘there will he a lively soramble for the position. Everybody ih Athens tmd Clarke county knows what kind of a fighter he is. Mr.Tuokisone of thebrainiest young men'of the city and has, on more occa sions than one demonstrated his abili ty and strength. He very ably represented the county of Clarke for one term in the legisla ture of Georgia and there won many golden opinions for his vigorous work on many measures. He would make Athens a good may or. And again Capt W. R. Burnett wonld make a good mayor. He has not as yet decided to enter the race, but his < friends ■ on all sides are urging him to make the race. He is one of onr most progressive citizens, and if he makes the race, he will put up as lively a fight for his opponent as a man generally gets into. Mayor Brown is stall in the flght,in fact the only avowed candidate as yet. In regard to his fitness for the office and his capabilities to carry out its requir- menta, let his record for tbe past two years tell. He has made a good Mayor and of course if re-elected would repeat his record. So here you have three young, active, brainy, and vigorous citizens of Athens suggested for the office of Mayor. Tuck, Burnett, Brown—who would win? And Will ’ Open Again In Savannah October 1st. The negro college of Georgia closed yesterday at two o’clock. It had intended closing next Friday, but in order to give tbe city ample time to make neocssary repairs on the Baxter Street School building, it sus pended exeicises on yesterday. There were nearly ninety six scholars present yesterday and the usual order of exercises was observed. Several visitors were present at the closing of he school. Addresses were made to the schoo>l by Rev. W. D. Johnson and Rev Geo. V. Glarke. The College opens again In Savannah on the first of October under flatter ing auspices. Professor Wright, the president of the college, is now making a tour of the state in the interest of the college. During his absence at several times during the last ,month, Professor A. J. Cary has very satisfactorily man- ged the college. Professor Cary will not go with the college to Savan nah, bat will remain as principal of the Ttaxter Street School.

Are In last Sunday’s Constitution was an article on tbe business outlook, and it w ill bear reading over and over again. 1c was gotten up by Messrs Nichols and Holliday advertising agents of the Con stitution whose business extends all over the Union. They are thrown with all kinds of business in all seotions of the country. They sought to find out how tbe business pulse was beat ing all over the country and they pro posed to each one the question, “what are the .prospects and general outlook for business this fall ?” The replies almost unanimously hopeful, give a great variety of reasons for the feeling of confidence which is shown to be so pronounced in almost every part of the country. Taken all in all this comprehensive sot of interviews Bbow that tbe outlook is very hopeful. DANIELSV1LLB DOINGS.
