Particular mention was made, how-
ver, of the death of Capt. A. A. Winn,
he senior Decretory of the association,
which evert thus occurred since th« last
mt-etiDg; and also that of Capt. Thorns*
Mahool, of Baiiit—these
worthy com rath s enlist.. l Vp!<vate8 in
company K, 'he Athens Guards, at the
beginning of the war.
Capt. Winn was promoted to a Lieu
tenancy in C"bb’s Legion, infantry bat
talion, in 1SC4, and surrendered his
company as its Captain, at Appomattox,
after saving the colors of the c.unpauy
from capture. He was made secretary
uf the association at its organizition,
which attended the first reunion of the
r< giuient, at Union Point, in 1874.
Private Jas. O’Farrell, of Co. K ,
claimed it as Athens’ prerogative to
have the next reunion, which was con
ceded, and so the next reunion will be
held in that city.
Whereupon, Mr. C. W. Reynolds and
others, representing Co K , extended a
general and most earnest invitation to
the veterans of the regiment, their
families, and honorary members, to be
their guests and on tbe occasion of the
10th reunion of the regiment; and that
the secretary be directed to extend a
pecial invitation to tbe Hawkins
Z maves, of New York.
Letters of regret at not being able to
attend, were read from Gen. Long-
street, Gen Gordon, Gtn. Sorrell, Dr.
John T. Kilby, and many^comrades who
were prevented from coming, owing to
sickness and other causes.
Athens will give the old soldiers a
grand welcome next July. Here Is the

JAY GOULD AT WORK AGAIN.

New York. Oct. 7.—Jay Gould has

of lust week to be able to attend to
business again. He came down from
Irvington on tbo 8 o’clock train and
reached bis office in tlie Western Union
buildiug about 10 o’clock. Mr. Gould
declined to rclieive any callers during
the niomiug, but sent out word that he
wus feeling better thau at any time for
a week.
Mr. George Gould, who was also in
town early in the morning, ridicules tlie
id~a that uis lather’s health is iu a crit
ical st site, and says that he will un
doubtedly pick up strength as soon us
cold weather c<<mes. The boat and
sultriness of the past month have been
very weuring on the elder Mr. Gould’s
nerves.

Dili Not Give Biui the Signal.
Sttubenviu.e, O., Oct. 7.—Patrick
Wlmlen, a well known section foreman
on the Pan-Handle railroad, was in
stantly killed by being struck by a pas
senger train. His body was so badly
mutilated that it was not recognizable.
Whalen, with seven other men, started
lor Collier’s Station on a hand cor.
Whalen’s sister, who is a telegraph op

a mile distant the train rounded a curve,
coming at the rate of thirty miles an
bom. The men on tbe hand car all

The retail merchants of Aihens are
after those debtors who wilfully re
fuse or neglect to pay their accounts.
They do this to protect themselves
and to better regulate their business
dealings with the people.
They met yesterday afternoon in the
hall, at No. 11, Clayton street, organ
ized a branch of the Merchants’ Retail
Commercial Agency The ol j- ct is the
protection of merchants.
It is no experiment, but is now in ac
tive operation throughout this and
■other Si ates.
It will no doubt accomplish good in
tltis city, both for creditors and debtors.
Q nte a large number of retail mer
chants are members of the new agency.
This Agency uses no dishonorable
means to force collections or eettle-
ments, but tbe merchants propose to
exercise their legal right to refuse cred
it to a person who gaius the reputation
of not treating a member of the Agen
cy honorably.
Ihere is no law compelling mer
chants to sell their goods on credit.
There is uo law forbidding merchants
refusing credit to any person they see
fit, and when a merchant sells his
goods on credit it is as an
accomodation to the con8um< r, and if
such con-umer has no appreciation ofr.
the favor extended and wilfully neg-
lec’s to make reasonable and honorable
adjustment of the indebtedness, then be
should be compelled to pay as he buys.
It is better for him and much more
profitable for tbe merchant. Many a
poor worthy man has been refused
credit for tlie r.ec ssities of life because
of the merchants’ unpleasant experi
ence with bad debtors, but this system
will tend to obviate all tbat, because
the man wbcNioes respect bis credit
will be known and have a standing
among merchants, while tbe “dead beat”
and others o( his kind will also be
known to tbe members of this Agency
and he absolutely refused credi’; no
matter if be moves to another town or
state his reputation as poor pay will
follow him, and tbe merchants in such
new place of residence will also refuse
him credit. This Agency issues a
regular and legal Abstract of unsettled
accounts every sixty days, «nd a com
plete Hite Rook in July and Jauuarv of
each year. Each mi m.vr agrees to for
feit twenty dollars to bis branch as a
penalty iu case he extends credit to a
person who-e unsettled account appears
<n tbe ahstract, and no account
can appear therein un.il
the debtor has had a full and fair 0|>-
port unity to go to tbe merchant he
owes, and in some way arrange snoh
indebtedness. Tbe man who cau pay
and won’t pay, and the man who can
not pay but will not go to the merchant
and siate his condition and make effort
to arrange, is the person this agency is
after.
Yesterday morning’s issue of the
Basnbr contained a notice of the fact
that .St. Mary’s church was rejoicing
over the anticipated pleasure of having
as their rector, for six months, Rev.
Samuel Benedict, of Cincinnati, father
of Dr. S. O. Benedict and M*
John A. Benedict, of this city.
But early in tbe morning came t
telegram to Dr. Benedict tbat cast a
gloom over everything.
It announced the sudden death of
Rev. Mr Benedict in Cincinatti.
The news carried deep sorrow with
it among scores of friends and acquain
tances who had met the distinguished
Episcopal divine during his different
staj s in Athens.
The particulate of bis death as gath
ered from telegraphic dispatches are as
follows:
Rev. Mr. Benedict was pastor of St.
Paul’s Episcopal church of Cinoinati
and tost his life while iu tbe discharge
of his ebristain duty.
He was visiting a parishioner on San
Rafael flats, a splendid building in
West Twentieth street, a short distance
from the Grand Hotel. He had de
scended in the elevator from the third
floor to tbe first, and was stepping out,
when, by an unaccountable freak, the
•levator shot upward.
He had stepped out with bis left foot
and he tried to get back. Tbe elevator
caught his right leg near the hip be
tween the car and oaken girder of the
next floor. Tbe boue6 were absolutely
crushed into small parts.
After much trouble be was extricated,
having been suspended next tbe ceil
ing, in terrible agony for several min
utes,
Medical attention was at on« e given,
but from tbe first little hope was en
renamed of saving his life.
He lingered in agony for several
hours until at last death came to hi 8
relief.
Dr. S. C. Benedict ai d Mr. John A.
Benedict left yesterday for Marietta
Ga , where the remains of tlieu father
will be iuterred today.
To the grie'stricken relatives goes
out the sy uipatby of many Atheuiau
hearts who loved tbe departed for bii-
many shining virtues.

Ssmothing of this kiud has been needed
for a long time, and this system will
work. “In combination there is
strength.” Tlie members have tbeisuc-
oess or failure of'this system in their
own hands. Wherever merchants have
properly combined the system has prov
en a vreat success The entire United
States is being carefully covered by this
Agency, and the merchants in allgtsali
towns are visited and solicited to join

not keep abreast with the improvements of the day, fo» li inh impossibility for
him to turn out a novel and artistic job. In printing, style* are constantly chang

Presses and Golden’s PearL
