OUR POLICY.
It is usual for a paper in changing
its management to give expression
to its proposed policy.
This role strictly followed, would
hardly require any such expression
from the present management: for
the present owners of a majority of
the stock of this company have been
stockholders since its organization
and interested in the inception
velopment and prosperity of the
paper.
The outgoing management was to
wise, conservative and successful
that if the paper is preserved to its
present high standard it will be
gratifying.
It goes without saying that the
politics of the paper will continue
Democratic to the core, and it will
be fonnd at all times fighting under
the banner of the great and glorious
Democracy.
It will try intelligently to dis
criminate between the principles and
policies of the party. Its fixed and
established principles it will follow
unswervingly wherever they may
lead and its policies it will discuss
in generous, open frankness—ad-
— baring to no opinions in stubborn*
ness and clinging to no convictions
in sulkiness—but at all times cheer*
fully yielding to the weight of the
majority properly expressed.
It will try to be conservative in
our crest: ‘ How pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in
unity,” for the restored and ren ewed
fraternity, trust and amity of the
city and country will be the harbin
ger ofa new era of industrial pro
gress and commercial development in
this glorious southland and serve
to rehabilitate the waste and delapi-
dation that would now enthrall and
destroy it.
Then both with a common inter
est, a common purpose and a com*
mon destiny will join hands to strike
the shackles that now seems to fete
ter and strangle oar financial system
—join hearts to restore and renew
the confased and collapsed farming
condition of the country and join in
common determination to restore to
its rightful basis commercial confi
dence and credit and thns wedded
in affection, sympathy and interest
both will co-operate to rehabilitate
and restorr oar farms,—develop
and strengthen our city, and contri
bute to the glory and wealth of onr
great and growing state.
they can, and with such surround
ings there is no reason why The
Banner should not become the pride
of our beautiful section, and a wel
come guest in every heme in North
east Georgia. T. W. Reed
SALUTATORY-
The Banner greets its readers to
day under a new editorial and busi
ness management. In the outset, let
us say to them that it shall be our
desire and aim, to which we will de
vote onr time, energies,and attention
to give to the people of Athens and
of Northeast Georgia an attractive,
readable, and interesting newspaper
one that will in many ways aid and
assist in the up-building of this rich
and prosperous part of the Piedmont
section; and one which we hope will
merit praise from its patrons and
readers.
Above all things, it shall be our
pride to keep its columns free from
all sensationalism, pare from the
taint of anything low or immoral,
and void of articles that tend to be
irreligious or pi-ofsue. To run
olean sheet upon a high moral plan
, , , , „ .. | and to labor for the consummation of
its opinions, generous in its discus- . . ....
,, ° .. . . such ends as will best subserve the
sions and just m its conclusions—
free from the acrimony of dogmatic
assertion and the narrowness of pu
ritanical conceit.
It will treat with its contempora
ries upon the high plane of equals—
according to all the sincerity of their
opinions, the freedom of their ex
pression and the honesty of their
positions and at the same time claim
ing this much as its inherent right.
It will discuss measures and not
men ; but when iu the discussion of
public questions it becomes neces
sary to discuss the public acts of
public men, it will do so frankly,
freely and justly : not descending to
•the low plane of characterizing epi*
thets or abusive personalism.
For our evening cotemporary it
entertains feelings of amity and good
will and will undertake to foster this
most desirable relation. There is no
reason why this should not be pre
served and tbe two papers live and
thrivoin peace and harmony. This
:ls the best for the papers and best
for the people : for a perpetual truce
between rival papers is the best
.legacy that either could inherit and
the best news that could be borne to
an indulgent public
But the greater purpose of this pa-
[)C r will be to assist in the upbuild-
MffP^jing and development of our loved
iind lovely Athens and the country
I round about—to reflect its induce
ments'—portray its advantages—ad
vertise its resources and undeveloped
mines of wealth—foster its varied
interests—compare its benefits and
possibilities—record its growth and
advancement—cheer it in its de
pression and adversity—an din every
way oontribnte and add to the mate
rial improvement, progress and
general condition of onr city and the
surrounding country.
There can be no reason why there
should be any conflict or friction be
tween the city and country. Each
let dependent on the other and their
interests are naturally and insepara
bly interwoven. The stability,
strength and prosperity of each is
measured by the other and the
arrow that cripples one will wonnd
ifj ~ the other. Hand in hand each can
ti) . pi|ji$* forward to prosperity, content
ment and happiness, but in acrimo»
, distrust and enduring suspicion
h will sting the other to death

IN
interests of peace, morality and good
government is high enough ambition
tor any journalist.
In politics, national, state, connty,
municipal, or any other kind, we are
strictly democratic. This covers the
entire question. It shall be to us
pleasure, a privilege and a duty to
figiu for every democratic issue pre
sented to the public, and we shall
not hesitate to wage warfare against
everything that is undemocratic.
Upon the success of democracy de
pend. the happiness and prosperity of
our people, and we shall help them
to fight their battles. As long as we
have strength to wield a pen, we will
be found holding aloft the democrat
ic banner of tariff reform, economy
and financial relief. To onr mind
these three things are absolutely
necessary under the existing state of
affairs. - *
We are proud to say that by birth
we belong to that great middle class
of society upon whose shoulders rests
the solid prosperity ot the nation,
and that the siren voices of gold
kings, monopolists, or political
bosses find no responsive echoes in
onr heart. In ns the honest tiller of
the soil will always find a friend,
not one that will stick close to him
in the sunshine and desert him in
the shadow; bat one that is ready to
use what humble talents God has
given him in helping Jiim on to
wards the accomplishment or all ends
that will tend to increase his pros
perity and happiness. We know
that the farmers of the South need
relief from the burdensome laws of
Republican misrule, and that they
should be given it no one can suc
cessfully deny.
We shall deem it a privilege and
a pleasure to work for the upbuild
ing of Athens. Nearer even than
the city of onr nativity it nestles to
onr heart. To live to see her a city
of one hundred thousand inhabi
tants, with the busy hum of her
manufactories and the thriving trade
of her business houses aud the happy
and contented lives of her people
proclaiming her to be the crown jewel
in Georgia’* diadem, and to feel that
in some degree, humble though it
may be, we have contributed to her
advancement and her achievements,
will be snffleient recompense for all
onr labors.
We trust that in all we shall do,

THE BANNER’S NEWS SERVICE.
In every department of news, The
Banner will endeavor to give its
readers the very best service. In
addition to the editorial duties im
posed upon him, the editor will take
npon himself an active service in the
local field, all of which will receive
his personal attention.
Mr. George £. Stone will be News
Editor under the new management,
and his labors will be devoted en
tirely to the local field. Mr. Stone
is an energetic news gatherer and a
clear and forcible writer, having done
some good work for The Banner and
the Evening Chronicle in the past.
The local news will be presented
in brief, attractive, and readable
style, and it will be an especial aim
of the management to issue a paper
that will be required in every home
in Athens.
In regard to onr Weekly Edition,
we would say that from time to time
we will make improvements in it, and
strive to make it a paper that will be
of nse as well as pleasure to our far
mer friends and patrons We hope
to have each week articles from em
inent farmers npon subjects of in
terest to the people who till the soil,
and also to ran a department that
will interest the good ladies who pre
side over the household and the fire
side.
In addition to the news feature of
our Weekly Edition it shall be our
purpose to furnish much reading
matter that will convey information
on the subject of crops, how, when
a^d where to plant them ; the best
way in which to gather them and
prepare them for the market, and
the like.
Our columns will always be open
for communications on different sub
jects, all of which mast necessarily
be short, as we will have to condense
all onr articles.
We shall endeavor to make our
news service complete in every sense
of the word, and to render our local
telegraphic and editorial departments
bright and interesting.

-Editorial Comment
It is a fact of very considerable inter
est that for some time the military au
thorities of the United Srktes have been
engaged in testing the capacity of the
Indians to become soldiers in organized
companies. There ate now seven
Indian companies which are being
subjected to careful military training.
So far, these companies have stood the
best test which has been applied to
prove their efficiency in drill most ad
mirably. They are said to act with
promptness in response to com
mands, and show an intelli
gence in the performance of their mill
tary duties that is very satisfactory
The members of these companies are se
lected from the flower of tbe different
agencies and are usually fine specimens
of physical manhood. They have not
yet been tried in the fire and confusion of
battle, but all tbe present indications
are that even under these arduous cir
cumstances they would remain true to
tbe spirit of discipline, which has been
patiently inculcated in them by their
white offioers.—Richmond Times*
The latest newspaper *‘fake” is
goose cannery for Alaska. A writer
with a very flexible imagination tells
how an establishment is to be put up at
the mouth of the Yukon river for can
ning wild geese, which gather there in
such vast numbers. Such a graphic ac
count of tbe canning process is given
that the reader instinctively smacks his
lips with longing for a dainty morsel
of wild goose, but a second thought im
presses him with the fact that be and
other credulous persons who read the
yarn are tbe only geese in tbe case.
The high salaries paid base ball play
ers and norse jockeys, to say nothing of
the fortunes at tbe command of the
slugger who can land akuock out blow
is very discouraging to members of the
other professions. A race-horse starter
baa just consented to serve next season
for a stipend of $25,000 Even tread
