THE ATHENS PARK AND IMPROVE
MENT COMPANY
WILL ADVERTISE ATHENS.
A Great Sale this summer—The City
to be Advertised the Wo- 1 '* Over-
Many Improvements-Thlrty-flve
Houses to be Built—The Street
Car Line to be Extended-
Other Improvements.
HAVE YOUR POCKET-BOOK READY!
Tt is Q-ood Business Sense to Turn Goods
into Money*
wmammmm
I am well Aware of Tt.
The Athena Park and Improvement
Company i* \\ ide-awake to the interests
of Athens, and now has a great scheme
on foot which will be of untold benefit
to the city. They propose next sum
mer to have a land sale, the like of whioh
has never been known in the South.
The sale will be conducted simitar to the
One held last summer, but will be more
thoroughly and extensively advertised
Friday a Banner reporter dropped
into the office of Mr. C. D. Flanigen,
secretary of the company, in the new
Holman building on Washington street,
and from that gentleman learned many
interesting facts as to what was being
done and what the company proposed
doii.g.
As before stated a great sale will
take place in the summer, and
it witl be interesting to know that the
advantages of Athens will be thorough
ly advertised not only in all of the mon
ey centres of the United States, but
also through a popular periodical, the
many advantages of the Classic City
will be laid before the people of Europe.
The advertisement will appear in this
periodical in three languages, English,
French aud German, .in parallel col-
umus. It is not expected that buyers
will come from fore'gn lands, but the
Athens Park & Improvement Company
is aware of the fact that if the city is
well advertised the world over, it will
do them great good, though it be in an
indirect manner.
A WORD ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS.
Meanwuile the compaey is mak
ing many improvements on
thelands. Several plans are now being
drawn by different architects for hand
some cottages to be erected on the Bou
levard. These cottages will be built
just so soon as the spring weather sets
in, and the work can progress rapidly.
They will cost from $2,000 to $4,000,
and of course will be beauties. The bill
of lumber is already io for some of these
buildings, and no time will be lost in
their erection.
Asiuefrom these, on the property
north of the Boulevard, about twenty
five cottages will be erected, in which
the company is interested, and eight or
ten more by people who have bought
lota, aud elegant cottages they will be
The company already have a number of
these in course of erection, aud work
will begin on others, as soon as the
ones in hand are com
pleied. The cost of these will be from
$1 500 to $3,000 each.
Bo soon as the weather opens, the
streets will be graded and finished up
after the plan ot the Boulevard, and de
lightful drives they will be. Milledge
Avenue will be extended from Prince
Avenne through..to beyond the Bou
levard, thus adding much to that fash-
ble avenue.
The Georgia, Carolina & Northern
Bailway Company have established a
station called “Electric” near the Park
land,and Mr. Voss is thinking of extend
ing the street car line to that point to
meet trains and carry passenges either
to the hotels or uptown residences thus
saving a long and uncomfortable ride in
the bus.
Besides other Improve
ments, the Park is to be greatly beau
titled the coming spring, and it will be
a delightful resort in the summer
Hundreds of Athenians will spend the
sultry evenings under the inviting
shades of the Athens Park. Beautiful
flowerbeds are to be laid out, new
walks opened, and many other improve
ments will be made. A splendid walk
will be opened from the Boulevard,
across the dam and over the pavillion
from that side.
Several manufactories are now nego
tiating for sites on the northern part of
the property along the line of the G.
C. & N. road, and it is more than prob
able tbata furniture factory and plan
ing mill will be in course of erection
here in a short while.
The Athens Park & Improvemement
Company have done much for Athens,
and as will be seen, propose to con
tinue to be a great factor in advertising
her resources.
Any price will do me. That great purchase from the recent Bankrupt Sale in our city enables me to do most anything.
Eighty, seventy, sixty, fifty, forty per cent off from the original dollar's value, are prices I can afford to fake. And 1 will
take it. It is serious for Merchants to listen to such. But self-preservation is the first law ot nature* May the times be as
they are. A certain extreme low figure in prices of goods the public will embrace any time. I am ready to let the goods go.

IS IT HAUNTED?
The Doors of a House WIU Not Stay
Closed
The Banner reporter was talking to
a gentlemen the other day who said he
knew of a house, near High Shoals, the
doors of which will not stay closed.
“You may lock, you may bar the
doors with bars of iron,” said he, “but
in the twinkling of an eye they will fly
open. 1 was skeptical about this when
first told of it, but have become thor
oughly convinced that the doors cannot
possibly be k«-pt closed. In company
with a couple of friends. 1 went to this
house one Sunday morning and spen.
three hours. It was of course, unoct
upied. The first thing we did on enter
ing was to lock every door in the house,
and I put the keys in my pocket. Im
agine our surprise, when after going
out the back door, locking it, and walk
ing ’round the house, to find the front
door open. On entering we found every
door open. The bolts in the locks were
pushed back as though a key had been
UBed.
“We were not satisfied with this ex
periment, but next nailed up each of
the doors with ten-penny nails; but
when the last door was closed the oth
ers flew open. This is true, and can be
proven by either of these gentleman
who accompanied me.
“Since that time,” he
continued, “I .have known a party of
men to go there and actually bar the
doors with iron bars, but before the
last could be fastened the first would
fly open in a twinkling of an eye.'
“No, I don’t say the house is haunted
but I do not understand it.”

WILL TRY TOBACCO-
A Planter in the City Yesterday iSays
He Will plant Tobacco.
F iday a Bannkb reporter met a
prominent planter of Madison county,
who says he intended planting only
half of the usual amount of cotton, and
proposed to devote the remainder of the
land generally devoted to that crop, in
the growth of tobacco. He said be
had last year made enough corn
potatoes, and small grain, to “run him”
through the season, and also had a nice
lot of meat. He said that the price
paid for cotton this season would not
pay ont, and for this reason
be would divide his cotton acreage, and
pat baltnf.it in tobacco.
From this gentleman it was learned
that several of the farmers in bis imme
diate neighborhood proposed trying to
bacco culture, and it is to-be hoped that
the experiment will prove a successful
one.

The whole police force oame in for a
full share of work Friday in captur-
ng Burrell Shaw, a small but a very
mean little darkey.
Burrell had on Thursday night gotten
into a row with a negro boy named
Jones out on Cleveland avenue. During
the fight, & little sister of the Jones
boy remonstrated and Burrell knocked
her down This raised a racket, was
reported to the police headquarters,
and yesterday the officers started out
after the offender
Burrell got on to the chase and for
several hours dodged through the
town. Finally several of the officers
cornered him in a house out on Pulaski
street just in front of the home of Mrs
E W. Phelps.
Officer Kelley went in after him and
seeing the officer coming, Burrell
jumped through the window
carrying the sash with him
Officer Kelley followed him and just
as he rounded the corner of the house,
the negro boy raised a pistol, took de
liberate aim and pulled down on the
officer. He fired three shots and then
ran. Officers Kelley, Suddeth and Culp
returned fire aud came near laying the
fugitive out.
So nimble was the negro that he es
caped these officers, but Officers Rose
and Saye later on in the morning ran
across him and gave him chase. They
chased him clean cut beyond
the Alliance Warehouse, down
by the river bank and
a swamp on the side of the riv-
Here he hid and while Officer Rose
was looking for him, he rose up out of
the bushes and snapped his pistol in his
face. Officer Rose returned fire and
barely missed him The negro then
run, but Officer Saye made vigorous
pursuit aud caught him.
They brought him back to the cala
boose and placed him in a cell. He will
be held to answer three charges, that of
disorderly conduct, resisting an officer
and assault with intent to murder.
The pistol used by the negro boy was
an old British bulldog and had no bar
rel. It bad been filed down even with
the cylinder. Two barrels were charg
ed, the cartridges having failed to go
off.
It was a spirited and exeiti ng chase.
The boy fired four shots at the officers
and they returned eighteen shots at
him.
AT THE MARRIAGE ALTAR.
Miss May Ivey and Mr. Charles T
Humphrey Pledare Thetr Vows.
Thursday morning at half past eight
o’clock at the residence of Mrs. S. S.
Upson, of Lexington, occurred a happy
marriage.
The contracting parties were May
Irey,of Lexington,and Mr. Chas. Tuck
er Humphrey,of Columbus,Mississippi.
The ceremony was perfoimed in a
most impressive manner, by the father
of the bride, Rev. F. H. Ivey. Every
thing looked beautiful as the bride
groom entered with his best man, Mr.
John Humphrey, and the
bride with her maid of honor, Miss Se
rena Upson, of Athens.
The beautiful and accomplished
young bride was one of Georgia’s fair
est daughters, and hss many friends in
the Classic City.
After the ceremonies the happy young
couple left ou au extended southern
trip after which they will go to Colum
bus, Miss., where they will reside in
the future.

SHOT A LITTLE BOY.
A Painful Wound inflicted by a Sling
Shot-
Friday afternoon about five o’clock
Dr. 8. C. Benedict went to his telephone
to answer a call.
Imagine his horror when there came
through the’phone the following, in
tearful accents: “Come home papa,
I’m shot.” It was his little boy, Ra-
vaud, and Df. Benedict at once rushed
for his home.
He found his little boy there bleeding
from an ugly wound in the forehead,
which proved to be a
wound from a buckshot
which had been buried from a sling in
the hands of a little negro boy.
The wound was not serious, but quite
painful, and if it had been in one of the
little fellow’s eyes, loss of sight must
have followed.
It appears that acrowd of little white
boys had been in front of Dr. Bene
dict’s, and that a little negro, named
Captain Winn bad been shooting at
them with a sling. They ran iuto the
yard of Dr. Benedict, and the negro
pursued. The boys eluded him, and

The American Minister Said to be In
Danger.
London, Feb. 6.—A correspondent of
The Times at Valparaiso says that po
lice guard the house of Egan, United
States minister at Santiago, maintained
by the Chilian authorities, with the
view of preventing any attack at the'
instance of the rough element.
This fact, the correspondent says,
threatens to bring about a reopening of
the difficulty with the United States.
The correspondent further says that the
police judge at Valparaiso has increased
the severity of the sentences imposed
upon the assailants of the sailors of the
United States steamer Baltimore.
This course was demanded by the
procurator. The prisonors may appeal
from the extra sentences.

A LIVELY RACE

There will be a lively race be

Hon. Richard B. Russell, the present
efficient Solicitor-General will offer for
re-election, and it is said on good au
thority that Col. Charles H Brand, of
Lawrenceville, will also be in the
arena.
Both of these gentlemen are
hard political fighters and
moreover are clever, genial men,
and the race will be au interesting one
to see which can number the largest
number of friends in the legislature.
Mr. Russell has made a good officer,
giving thorough satisfaction, and no one

and then ran for dear

The little white boys, quite a number
of them pursued, and ran the negro boy
down into Lickskiilet where he lived.
He rushed into the house and was
then comparatively safe. But his
small pursuers were not satisfied. They
surrounded the bouse and vowed if they
caught him they would skin him.
In this position they remained until
Officer Rose came down and arrested the
boy and carried him to the station
house
The boy is too small for the law to
inflict a heavy penalty upon him, so the
proposition will be made to his father to
give him a good thrashing and turn him
loose. Perhaps he will then have learned
that in the handling of such a weapon as
a sling he should be careful, and that the
law does not even allow the use of such a
weapon on the streets.
The l>emoeratie Convention Is to Meet
May 26.
Parkersburg, Feb. 6.—May 26 has
been choseu as the time for the meeting
of the West Virginia State Democratic
convention, and Parkersburg the place.
Delegates to the national convention at
Chicago will not be chosen by the state
convention, but the congressional dis
tricts will choose their delegates by in
dependent party action on June 6, at
which time all of the districts will se
lect their delegates. Of the distinguish
ed Democrats present at the meeting of
the state executive committee, Hill had
11, Cleveland 5, Gorman 3, and Whit
ney 1.
It is the general belief that Hill will
have the majority of. if not the solid
delegation from Virginia. As this state
is now being claimed as a doubtful
state by the Republicans, this informa
tiou will be read with more than usual
interest.
