Says the Washington Chronicle:
The Athens papers report that one

which they have establi«hed shows a

to which men are tempted by the in-
citemens of other men. It is believed
that a considerable part of the drink
ing is indeed by tbe temptation ot those
who make money out of selling liquor.
One means of temptation is an attract
ive saloon.
The sum of $1500 seems a considerable
S rofit for one month, but it may be a
iminntion of the liquor business in
Athens. It is probable that it is so. It
may he however that the pority of the
liquor sold in Athens will trade from
the outside, and thus the diminution of
drinking in Athens might not show or

The diminution in the amount of li

what it does not undertake viz: the

We hope the experiment will/' have

keep temptation from being offered to

PEACE TO HIS ASHES.
Mr. George E. Heard’s Death Yester
day Morning.
After a lingering illness, in which he
bore his affliction * im the bravest
Christian fortitude and patience, Mr.
George Erskine Heard passed away
yesterday morning at four o'clock at
his home in this city.
For quite a while he bad been in de
clining health and to the loved ones
who watched around his bedside, the
passage from tbe scenes of the terres
trial to tbe glories of the* celestial was
not entirely unexpected.
Mr. Heard was a native of Elbert
county, and for many years had been a
citizen of Athens. He was in his fifty-
fifth year.
As a young man, he entered the ser
vice of the Confederacy and was a brave
and gallant soldier.
Mr- Heard was one of our most prom
inent citizens. During the last legisla
tive campaign, he was for a while a
candidate, and at the time of his death
was secretary of the county Alliance.
He leaves a wife and several children
to mourn bis death.
Mr. Heard’s remains were carried
yesterday afternoon* to Elberton and
will be interred there this morning
To the bereaved relatives and mourn,
ing friends, the sympathies of all are

MOVING ALONG 8MOOTHLY
With all Differences Amicably
Adjusted.
A few dsys since jp application was
filed in the U. 8. Circuit Court at At
lanta for a receiver to be appointed for
the Athens Street Railway Company
ThiB petition was field by a Philadelphia
company who held an iccouut against
the Railroad Company.
This application was simply a move
ment to enforce a settlement.
Th railway company on the other
hand claimed damages on acccont of
delay, faulty work, etc , and on these
grounds refused to settle the fall
amount claimed by tbe Philadelphia
company.
Terms of agreement were reached and
the whole matter is settled.
The Athens Street Railway Company
is as solvent as any corporation in Ath
cos and is doing a thriving and pros
perous business.

Wilkesbap.re, Pa., Nor. 11.—A hor

of the residence to come out. They did

Orangeville, Cal., Nov. 11.—S. B.
Brandon and wife have died of arsenical
poisoning. A grown son and daughter
were also poisoned, and the former is

family, who were amateur taxidermists,
and was placed in biscuits in mistake

Shot Tbreo Neighbor Boys.
Bonham. Tex., Nov. 11.—John Bas-
han, who lives three miles north of
here, saw a large flock of wild geese
light in a field. Having no shot he cat
a lot of elugs from a bar of lead and
poured a handful of powder in his gun,
tnd then a handful of sings. Then he
proceeded to crawl to where he had
seen the geese alight. Rising, he saw
something moving which, he says, he
thought was a big black gander, and
J blazed away. The gander dropped, as
Id two of ite companions. But when
ohn reached the spot he was horrified
to find that he had shot three neighbor
hoys, John Van Sickle and his little
brother, and Jeff Stevenson. The Van
Sickle boys are seriously but not fatally
hurt. Oue, perhaps, will lose a legv

Its Alms, Objects, and the Results Ac
complished.
The New Mercantile Agency, lately
established in Athens,might be describ
ed as a Merchant’s League, as tbe fol
lowing objects they have in view will
prove.
They have hit upon & plan which,
when set in motion on au individual
who has for a time persistently refu-ed
“to settle” or give any satisfaction,
convences said individual that the soon
er he “antis” up it will be best for his
own interests.
Every merchant in Athens knows too
well, that a considerable amount of his
capital is locked up from one season to
another in certain hands; and that just
when he could use his money to good
purpose, or is in argent need of it to
pay off his obligations, he cannot get it.
The Athens mercha ts have resolved
that this condition of affairs cannot be
tolerated any longer. Most of them
have only a limited capital, and
the banks are getting so they
will not make any ad
vances ; thus compelling the merchants
to make better use of the money they
have in their respective business.
Some of our citizens may be put to a
little inconvenience to find money at
once to pay up their indebtedness; but
We trust they will not feel sore over it,
as our merchants for years have been
suffering mnoh inconvenience from
their tardiness and even denying their
families many comforts because their
money was in the hands of other
people.
In about one month some $3,000 of
bad debts have been recovered, some
accounts as old as eight and ten
years have been gotten.
This movement although it will be
disliked by some is bound to. produce
mnoh good in our midst. It will pro
tect our merchants and create a healthy
spirit of thrift and economy.
Tom Nickerson is secretary of this
organization and the few remaining
merchants who have not beoome mem
bers are invited to inquire from him
for further imformatiou.

Excitement In London Over the Tara
Affaire Have Taken.
London, Nov. 11.—A dlapatoh just
received here from Pernambuco brings
alarming intelligence regarding the
situation of affairs in Brazil, whtoh is
rapidly approaching ths point where re
sort to sruu will be necessary to estab
lish the position of Fonseca os dictator.
Bo strong has the opposition to Foaseoa
grown that it is announced that the
important province of Rio Grande de
8ue has declared its independence. The
dispatch just received shows that steps
will have to be immediately taken to
prevent, if possible, the disintegration
of the republic.
The province of Para has followed the
example set by Rio Grande de Sne, and
has declared ite independence. Para is
one of the most important provinces of
Brazil. It is situated in the extreme
north of the country. It contains 419,407
square miles, and its population is esti
mated at 843,511, 10,000 of whom are
supposed to be Indians. The capital of
tbe provinoe is Para, the great rubber
port of tbe world. It exports in addi
tion to other products of the province,
which consists of cotton, vanilla, an-
natto, dry woods, honey, wax and a
great variety of other vegetable and
animal products. Trade Is mostly with
Liverpool, London, Barbados*, Cayenne
and North American ports.
Fonseca is moving rapidly to suppress
these attempts to set up separate gov
ernments, and be h»s ordered a war
ship to proceed without delay to Bio
Grande m Sne to take snoh action as
may be necessary to prevent the pro
vincial anthoMiies from carrying their
declaration of independence into effect
It behooves him to move with
alacrity, for alreadv the man has been
named in connection with the contem
plated presidency of the pro vinos. He
is Stlverio Martinez, who, daring the
revolution, was banished from tka
country. He was subsequently allowed
to return, and he, without doubt, pos
sesses greater political influence than
any other man in the province.
The situation, as may be judged from
events which are rapidly crowding upon
eaoh other, is daily becoming more
grave, and what the result of the wide
spread discontent in Brazil will be, can
only be a matter of conjecture. Fonseca
might perhaps do more to establish a
new order of things were he not a siok
man. Some reports have it that ths
disease from which he is snffering is
cancer; that he will take vigorous
measures to suppress these latest revolts
against his authority is not donbted by
those who are acquainted with the per
sonal characteristics of the man. He,
in no ways, lacks determination.
8HOOKED BY ELECTRICITY.
A Current From Are Light Wires Ploys
Peculiar Pranks.
Shelbyvtlle, Ind., Nov. 11.—Tbe
business portion, of tbe city was thrown
into a fever of exoitement about 5
o’clock in the evening by the yells of a
man at the entrance of the Hotel Ray.
Soon hundreds of people were on the
spot. Chas. Hoffman, a merchant, was
ths first to the scene and finding Will

front, gasping for breath, took hold of
him to raise him to his feet. Huffman,
however, was thrown upon his back in
tbe middle of the sidewalk. A heavy
rain was falling and it was soon dis
covered that all the business building
on the public square were heavily
charged with electricity from arc light
wires. Louden had taken hold of an
iron post on the veranda of the hotel
and received a terrific shook. Fortu
nately he fell on a step and this caused
him to roll away from the post, thus
saving his life. Tbe electric current
was shut off until the rain ceased.
Many persons were slightly ahooked by
stepping on tbe gratings at the entrance
of buildings and in water on the side-*
walkB.

Why Yob Shonld Patronize tho Banner Job Office.
When one has work of an artistic nature to se executed, he naturally car
ries it to the very best artist convenient.. Of course, an expert workman and
skilled mechanic has the latest and best machinoi t u enable him to accomplish
the most satisfactory results. No one wishes to [ tit • iso a workman who does
not keep abreast with the improvements of the day, foi It i an impossibility for
him to turn ont a novel and artistic job. In printing, styles are constantly chang
ing. Type faces that were popular last year, are now rarely used. Better effects
are seen by the most casual observer.
0Ufi TYPE MCES ME ML NEW
In The Banner Job Office there is to be found the largest selection of new
and artistic type in Northeast Georgia. If you ha te a Poster as large as a newspa
per to print, and want it executed in an attractive style—in a style that will “catch
the eye”—The B anner office is the place to have it printed. If you have an in
vitation card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to ns.
fact, we qave the best selection of type for any kind of work that is printed,

the most artistic and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer you to samples of
our work for proof of this assertion. After all, one’s work is tho best way by
which to judge his ability. We have no “cubs” t> “butcher” work.
