WHAT WILL DON'T YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHAT SANTA CLAUS WILL BRING? CHRISTMAS NEARLY HERE. another alliance scheme The Ladles are out Shopping—The Little Folks Anxious and Ex pectant—The Men are - Happy Despite the Hard Times. Christmas is nearly here again, and a bright smile is on all the little folks fa ces and this of course makes the pa rents happy despite the hard times. The ladies have nil beet) out for sev~ eral weeks buying up the pretty pres ents which will bring gladness to so many hearts. And then the students they have bought presents, these unhappy mor tals have gone down in their pockets and purchased gifts for their lady friends. The young ladies have remained at home making beautiful gifts with their own sweet bands, a l of which will cause some one’s heart to beat faster. Verily it is a time of fladness. -The men, can they be happy at Bnch a time, can such an expensive luxury make happiness. Yes even they are happy, and although hard times are up on them, the sweet, childish prattle of the young opeg the. gather around their knees and talk of Santa Claus, brings bright smiles into their faces and casts out all business troubles for the time being. Yes, Cbrismas time is a time of glad ness for all yet there are within the gates of this beautiful city those whom this glad time willjflnd in poverty and in the cold, but the good people of Ath ens, they wjll see to the comfort of those ‘a poverty and tbps spend a merry, happy Sand prosperous Christmas. N* xc Wednesday morning the city will be wild with the happy .Christinas times despite the fact that the students will be at home, and thjs will go to show that the students are no.t all the life of the city. .. But while you are in the midst of all this pleasure do Dot for get that near you, perhaps in the next lot, there may be some one suffering for the wants of life, and also do not forget that by helping this class, by acting the Santa Claus to them you will gain a present for more to be sought than any of those now seen and admired in the city. Athens has always given an eager ear to the requests of this character, and we do not doubt but that her citizens will look toward the comfort of the poor this year. Then the little ones, we know the times are hard yet Christmas comes but once a year—you have had yours and received pretty and costly presents, now you are able to give to (hose tread- ding in your footsteps. Tbe streets and stores are now thronged with ladies and children buy ings gifts, and it is indeed a pretty S'gh.t to stand by and watch a little one a- -(he selects and purchases with tbe m*'n«y she has saved a present for her p irents or sister. Al«nv claim it is hard to find wbat to buy. but with so many beautiful things so well displayed this will be easily .■veri'Oine, and you can get anything from five cents to fifty dollars, and a present suitable to give a child or -weet-heart or mother. The Banner wishes all a merry, hap py, prosperous Christmas. THE WHOLE STATE CONCERNED IN THE FARMER'S INSTITUTES. A STRONG EDITORIAL. What the Macon Telegraph has to say About the Great Movement—It Is on the Right line. Prrnp* In Csarf, Minneapolis. Dec. IT.—Timothy & Byrnes, national organiser of the n* T tional league of Republican clnba, was arranged in the district court on the charge of forgery in the firsr degree. The indictment recites at greet length allegations by. Mrs. Mary A. Goodrich that Mr. Byrnes filed forged satisfac tions of mortgages on portions of a piece of real estate valned at $30,000, and then raised $28,000 by issuing other mortgagee, the property all the time belonging to Mrs. Goodrich. Mr. Byrne* pleaded not guilty and waived the reading of the indictment. His bond was fixed at $9,000 and the trial set for Feb. 15. Asxed to give his ver sion of the case. Mr. Byrnes declined to talk, farther than to say he had trav eled 2,009 rai es from tbe east to meet indictment. A Dublin dispatch says: Mr. Michael Davitt, who it was announced would take the place of Mr. Reane as the Mc Carthyite candidate for the vacant sept for Water/ oed in tbe house of commons, has entered into the campaign with vig or and determination to defeat Mr. John Redmond, the Parnellite candidate.

The following strong editorial from the Macon Telegraph shows how deeply concered middle and southern Georgia are in the movement. The new work undertaken by the State College of Agriculture deserves the encouragement of every good citi zen. Tbe Farmers’ Institutes should be largely atteuded. Tney are capable of doing great good. The ultra cooversatism of our far mers is a olog to their progress. There is hardlv a trade iu which the pro cesses of production have not been rev olutionized in tbe lost few years. In all of them men are constantly on the watch for new processes, that will cheapen or improve- Nobody admits that tbe processes in use cannot be im proved upon, or that improvement is pot to be desired. The mao wbo makes cloth kuyws that tbe most costly ma- Ohine in his establishment, no matter what tbe amount of money paid for ft, is the one that > turns out the least or the poorest product. Men in other departments of prod uctive industry have the same knowledge, and there is a constant race going on be tween them for tbe best machinery and the newest, most ecomonical processes. Those who win the race make most of the money (hat is made in the business, if not all of ifi. Bnt nothing of the kind is seep in the business of farming. Here and there a single man is alive to the possibilities of bis calling, and Strives intelligently to realize them, fit is generally succeeds, and where he conspicuously successful achieves a reputation# large enough to be called fame. Meu see dimly that he is a public benefactor. But the great mass of those engaged in agricultural pursuits seem to think that farming is a business of wbioh the processes have reached perfection and cannot be fur ther improved. They regard with a mild, good-natured contempt the man who experiments, who tries to do new things in farming. Tbe same theory, if applied in the conduct of any other business, would soon lead to bankruptcy. Tbe business would atop because, in a short time, tbe cost of production woulfl be, rela tively, so high that the goods .could not be sold, ft does not have that effect|in the oams of agriculture, because compe tition does not; oonie so directly to bear and because farming is a business that must go on. {Some kind of a living can always be made at it But it does bave Abe effect of wiping out all profit and reducing the living that may be won to the barest. Progress is but another word for change, when used in this connection, aud if men refuge to change ola methods for new and better ones they will make no progress. The Farmers’ Institutes will fight tbe ultra conservatism from which the ag- icultural interest suffers. They will raise tbe moral standing of the farmers’ business by show ing that success depends not on the slavish following of traditions but •n the intelligence cud activity of tbe individual farmer—that iu (bis busi ness, as in all others, the man with the most brains, pluck and energy wiil win most of the world’s goodB and tbe world’s honors. There is plenty of room for this kind of work. The time has been in this country when farming was tbe first, tbe most desirable of all callings It is be coming, iu popular estimation, tbe last and least desirable. Many of the men engaged in it, if not most of them, would prefer to do something else. This is not a healthy state ot feeling. It grows, perhaps, out of tbe depressed condition of agriculture. Men do not 'ike to be identified with failure. Tbe institutes can do much, if properly aid ed, to change this feeling. HOW .THE FESTIVAL IS KEPT BY THESE RELIGIOUS CELIBATES.

Ingersol Wade an old A then* boy is very joyful over Crisp’s election and shows it. The Mapon Evening News cays: Americus has gone raving staving mad with joy over the nomination of J udge Crisp for tbe speakership. Col. Robert Ingersol Wade of the Times- Recorder readied Macon yesterday No one probahly celebrates the glad Christmas holiday in a more peculiar way than do the Shaken, those strange vet industrious celibates who wer a brought over from England considerably over a century ago by the good old "Mother Ann Lee." There are several colonies of these queer people In the United States, and all enjoy the same pleasures, if there can be snoh a thing in their Uvea, and all believe in the doctrines. Yean ago these honest bnt misguided people discovered that the Scriptures directed nil men and women to live apart They believe that be cause tbe Messiah did not marry it is a sin for them to do so, and consequently there is bnt one love in their lives, and that a love of religion. The 8hakers have a manner and style peculiarly their own and worship God in every breath. Believing as they do in the Messiah, they think it a duty to celebrate the birth of the Saviour, and their sorvioe on Christmas day is most beautiful and impressive. The remark “still as a Shaker meet ing" has often been heard, and those who have attended a meeting of these devout people know that a word is never spoken g til (h@ “spirit moves," and sq it goes m Sunday to Sunday until Christmas comes, which with them means a day of the greatest devotion. The day to them does not bring the joy* pleasures and dissipations of tha world, there ia no giv ing of gifts, no belief In St. Nloholas, no Christmas tree and no pleasures, in foot nothing bnt prayer. No preparations are made for toe glad festivaL The morning before Christmas the celibates move (oward (he little church )n couples. The men go by themselves *nd dress in toe conventional black, with broad brimmed hats and gaze straight before (hem. They never smile, for to smile Is * sin in their belief. The wom en follow the men, and wear Shaker bon nets of yellow straw and gray gowns, and look prim and quaint. A largo white handkerchief covers the chest in primitive simplicity. Quietness reigns throughout the day, never a wind being spoken. In fact the spirit does not move, and toe people stand there for hours like statues. At sundown they go to the dormitories and retire. Christmas morning they go to the ohurch again and pass the holiday in prayer, song and'religions glorification. Tbe? stanfi perfectly quiet and nmt» un til the ^spirit moves',” when each one giTee his or her experience, for on this day above all they delight in testifying (0 (heir great and complste happiness. A Shaker church Is entirely different from the ’’world’s people’s" church. In stead Of seats or pews, as are usually seen in churches, there ia a big open Space, and the men and women range themselves on opposite sidea of the room. One of the elders makes a short address. Then all is quietness. After about half an boor a dozen or so of the yonnger people, either male or female, or perhaps both, enter the center of the space and begin » solemn march. The Shakers sing beautifully and their tunes are remarkably pretty, sprightly and quick in character, and have a won derfully fascinating air. The rich, deep hass voices harmonize perfectly with the clear, sweet and high tenors and so pranos. Almost irresistibly the feet and hands of all commence keeping time With rythmical beats. Soon the entire body of Shakers are moving around the ringers. As the music Increases the men and women circling around be come bo imbued with the beating of the notes that their bodies swing and rock, their feet daucaand shuffle, their hands and arms swing and beat the air, all in perfect keeping with the music. This grows more intense until they all drop from sheer fatigue. Quietness again reigns for nearly an hour, when toe same performance is gone over, and then over again, nntil sundown, when all re pair to the dormitories to enjoy the only meal In the year in each other’s com pany, for on every other day the men and women eat by themselves. The Christmas dinner of the Shakers Is not like the Christmas dinner of toe world’s people. There are no wines, fruits nor delicacies. They have turkeys, ducks, chickens and plain bread and butter and vegetables of every kind, well cooked and in the greatest abun dance. The women occupy one side of tbe table, the men the other.
