“HERE’S A HOWDE-DO!”
Every reader of the Banner will
remember how earnestly this paper
fought for the Berner bill in the last
session of the general assembly of
Georgia. Every one knows well how
this paper predicted ruinous-results
THE FINAL CRASH!—WHY; WE DO IT
FROM 7 to 12 O’CLOCK.-
This present season has been by far the most unsatisfactory of any in my business experience. Although my business shows a large increase it has failed to reach the do'
culated t upon and provided for. My large stock has not been cleared off as rapidly as I anticipated, and the consequence is, that my counters,shelves and tables groan under th-^*
_ . of goods, which should have been sold long ago. I have not inaugurated these GRAND SPECIAL SALES from choice. No, I am not fond of losing money, but I am con/ 6

We rejoiced when a substitute for
he Berner bill embodying its sub
stance was passed by the house of
representatives. We criticised the
senate for refusing to discuss the
measure, tabling it without consid
eration, as to its methods.
Recent developments justify the
Banner's position most obviously.
Savannah and the whole state of
Georgia feel the injury of the Cen

“The railroad people,” be con

Chatham county to understand that
not only were none of the interests of
Savannah to be injuriously affected,
but everything was to be built up as
a result of the lease. If the lease
was allowed to stand, they informed
us, they would work hard for deep
water here, they would at once send
a volume of new busines here, and
in every other way they would con
serve and advance our business in
terests. As I have already said,
from their words 1 was led to believe
that Savannah was in nowise to be
injured. Developments have proved
that this is not the case. So far Sa

has sustained severe losses as a re

“You have been masquerading before

known to the evasion of the prohibition
law, from a bountiful giver through a
pretentious lender to a baltant and de
fiant seller. All your trials before thiB
court has cost this county over one
thousand dollars, which came out of
tbe tax money levied upon the people of
the county. To pay those taxes the
poorest widow has contributed from her
scanty earnings by her sewing machine
and needle; and at last tbe day of re
tribution has arrived. You can pay a
fine of one thousand dollars

make his fines so small as to constitute

of the prohibition law.

Bis Death Caused by Mcen.
PnretON, Pa., Dec. 19. —The coroner
has learned that Dominic Etro, who
was billed at the Payne shaft a few days
ago, met death through a practical joke.
Some boys locked Etro in a small room
at the heed of the shaft, and when he
S mnded at tbe door it was very amns-
g for them. Growing enraged, Etro
hurled himself through the door so for
cibly that he was unable to check him
self and went plunging down the shaft
eath Del*
to a horrible death below.
The Normal School Commission in
company with members of the laculty
of the University, Capt. Jas. McCul
loch, the architect, and a Banner re
porter, visited Reck college yesterday
morning on a tour of inspection.
The object was to see how much work
would be done in order to fit it up for
the purposes of the Normal school.
The Commission inspected the build
ing thoroughly, found it to be in good
condition, and tbat with a little work
of repairing it could easily be made to
suit the purpose of the Normal school
in an admirable manner.
The rooms were found to be rather
small, but still they can be easily made
larger by combining two rooms in one.
Capt. McCulloch told the Commission
what work in bis judgment would have
to be done, and it was tbe sense of tbat
body that the work of repairing should
begin at an early date.
Capt. Bradwell, the chairman, said
that as a matter of coarse this meeting
of tbe Commission was nothing more
than one of preliminary organization,
and that another meeting would be
called at an early date to take further
steps in the matter.
He said tbat they now had funds to
tbe amount of one thousand dollars and
that they would have five hundred mote
by July 1st. and tbat with these they
hoped to fit up Rock College and get
the school in running order and have a
session of a few months the next sea
son, so that they could go before the
legislature and ask an appropriation
and also secure an appropriation from
tbe Peabody Normal School fund.
The course mapped out will be a three
years course of study and will be very
complete. It will enable them to turn
out as good teachers as are to be found
anywhere.
They will need three large reoitation
rooms and a large number of rooms for
sleeping apartments. They will be
fixed up at an early date.
Capt. Bradwell says the movement Is
thoroughly organized and that Georgia
will yet have a great Normal school of
which her citizens will feel proud.
Tbe Commission visited Washington
Street school at tbe invitation of Supt.
Bond, and tbe difierent members then
left for their respective homes.
THE LIFE OF GRADY.
the
A Curious Error That Crept Into
Make-up of the Book.
A curious little error crept into the
make-up of Mr. Grady’s book, which
would never have been found out unless
by some one who knew.it. Among the
many speeches and selected newspaper
articles of Mr. Grady’s book is a very
interesting one about an
old couple out on Spring
street, who, with untiring patience and
perserverance, worked year after year
for fourteen years, filling up the waste
places on a vacant lot to make it tenan-
table. The story was told in the charm
ing style of Mr. Grady, and was copied
extensively throughout the country, as
one of his beautiful stories. When the
faithful compiler of his life and writ
ings came to prepare the work for pub
lication, this little story was included,
and it is now in tbe book.
But the little story was not written
by Mr. Grady at all. Mr. Glen Waters,
the bright young newspaper man, who
started out in journalism under Mr.
Grady, wrote tbe story. He was high
ly complimented upon it by Mr. Grady,
and it being in a style very much re
sembling Mr. Grady’s it came to be cre
dited to him. _
Mr. Waters is a graduate of the State
University here in Athens, and was ed
itor of the Pandora. He is a graceful
writer.

Mr. George Booth Takes
Actd by Mistake.
Night before last Mr. George Booth
went to bed sick.
He put some bottles of medicine by
his bedside before retiring, one of
which contained a mixture of whiskey
and asiafoetida for a cold.
During the-night he awoke and rea
ched for this bottle, but bv mistake
took another bottle containing Carbol
ic Acid, a deadly poison. He took a
good dose of it not knowing wbat he
was doing and suddenly became sick al
most unto death.
Dr. Goss was sent for and adminis

Mt. Sterling, Ky., Dec. 19.—A mur
der occurred at Boweu, Powell county.
Joel Gay, aged 17, shot and killed
George Faulkner, aged 18, as the latter
was passing him on horseback. As
Faulkner approached Gay raised a
shotgun he was carrying and, saying:
*D—n you, I’in going to kill you, ” and
fired. Faulkner fell from his horse
mortally wounded and was carried to
an adjacent house, where he died six
boors later. No cause is known for the
deed,, as the boys were not enemies, and
Gay is naturally a quiet and well be
haved young man. Gay was arrested
and taken before Judge Martin, who
placed him ' under bond to appear at
Stanton for examination Saturday.
Both boys are sons of respectable and
wealthp parents.

TUE MARKETS.
BannerOffice, Athens, Dec. 19 —
A firmer feeling chaiacterized t«*<lays
dealings, but prices were only hither oa
futures in New York. Liverpool show
ed little change from yesterday, the
closing figures being practically the
some.
Spot cotton in New York was 1-10
lower carrying it below the Sc mark.
The local market was stronger at aa
advance o f 1-16
The week has been one of low prices
the lowest iu f:*ct in years ai d it would
s**em as if the bottom had been rescind.
With a decline in the r ceipta alter
Chrismaa anil a short foreign crop, it
would seem that better prices must pre
vail. But who can tell?
