This institution Means a Great
Deal for Athens—The Money
Should and Will be Raised,
Athens takes a pride in all her educa
tional institutions, and die will *oe to it
that the interests of the Stale Normal
School do not suffer.
It has been determined that three
hundred dollars will put the Bock col
lege building in proper shape for the
opening of the school. It has also been
determined that such a movement is ne
cessary at once in order- to have the
school running by the time the Peabody
trustees meet in New York in March.
Such a state of affairs may bring
the Normal school an appropriation
three or four thousand dollars from the
Peabody fund.
If the money can he raised at once the
success of this movement is assured, the
Normal school will be placed in a good
condition and Athens as well as Georgia
will receive vast benefit from it.
That money must be raised and Ath
ens will raise it. Her citizens have
never yet refused to do what they
thought would be for the upbuilding of
the city's interest, and in this matter
they know that the money should be
raised.
A movement will be started at once to
raise the necessary amount of money
and that it will succeed goes without
saying.

News reached the city yesterday of
the burning of a little.child at Pender
grass. The particulars are as follows:
The little 4-year-old daughter of A.
M. Whitmire, living about three miles
from town, was burned to death Thurs
day. The father was out attending to
farm work and the mother, wishing
sbumac berries for col
oring purposes, had gone
out some distance from the bouse in
search of them, leaving her three chil
dren alone in the house. In a short
time screams attracted her attention,
when hurrying to the house she saw the
oldeet.child in flames. The little thing
was burned beyond possible recogni
tion.

Washington, Feb. 13.—The Cali-

Florida gives significance to the resolu
tion introduced by Senator Call in
structing the committee on privileges

whether money was used by them or
newspapers were bought by them to in-
flenoe tbs election of senator by the
Florida legislature in 1891.
It instructs the committee to report
to the state what legislation, if any, is
necessary by amendment to the consti
tution te protect the people in their
right to elect members of the legislature
who are to chooose United Slates sena
tors, and to protect members elected
from the influence of corporations and

Columbus. Feb. 13.—At midnight the

On the ground floors are situated the
dry goods stores of McCoy Broi., Stett-

The fire was discovered in the base

volumes of blinding smoke, which filled

The women were especially panic

Springfield, Ills., Fel» A.—The tele
gram announcing the declination of
James G. Blaine to be considered a
presidential candidate, sent a thrill of
joy to the hearts of the friends of Sena
tor Cnllom here. The senator’s personal
organ, The State Journal, published it
under an unusually large scare head
and in double-leaded form, and followed
it with a doable-leaded editorial, in
which the claim is made that Cullom
will now not only have the Illinois 3ele-_.
gation to the national convention of his
party, but will also Capture the nomi
nation. The claim is made that Blaine
himself is for Culloiq, and that he will
ateo have the support of the Pennsylva
nia and Colorado senators, as well as
that of many other powerful party
leaders. Senator Cullom has many bit
ter opponeuts in his own party right
here at home who ridicule his preten
sions. but it is not thought they will
make auy serious attempt to send a del
egation hostile to aim in Minneapolis.
Blaine’s letter is looked upon as set
tling the question of bis candidacy, and
with him out of the way thoughtful
Republicans regard Harrison’s renomi
nation aa a foregone conclusion.

support of employes of connecting lines
they will strike. Superintendent Sands

Cinciknati, Feb. .4.—'The Post prints
an interview with ex-Governor Foraker
on Blaine’s letter of declination. Said
Mr. Foraker: "Mr. Blaine will stand
in history without a rival. Twice when
he was a candidate for the nomination
it was refused him. Once when nomi
nated he was defeated. Such a record
would destroy the power, influence and
prestige of almost any other man. Bat
instead, he has constantly grown great
er, stronger and nearer to the hearts of
the people. As a Republican, I deeply
regret Mr. Blaine’s determination. In
saying this I don’t mean to disparage
President H arrison. He has given ns a
wise and safe administration, bat the
truth is apparent to all that he does not
have that hold upon the affections of
the people that Blaine enjoys, and in
consequence cannot have the strength
as a candidate that Mr. Blaine would
have. Of course. I do not know that
President Harrison will be renominated,
but, in saying what I have, I have so
assumed.' We wonld have had an easy
victoiy with Blaine; we may have a

Cincinnati, Feb. 18.—The Cincinnati
fire departmetat has seldom handled a
more stubborn and exciting fire than
the one which made sad havoc here last
night. The fight was a fierce one for
four hours, but before the fire fiend was
conquered a great establishment was in
ruins, and several other prominent busi

The auction house of Ezekiel & Bern-

stroyed, the Commercial bank building
adjoining was almost demolished by
falling walls, and the store of the Amer

north of the auction house, was consid

Although no lives were lost in the

amount of excitement and several nar
