Yesterday afternoon about four o’clock, Mr. Lob Parr and another painter were at work on the Southern Mutual building, and had just started to draw the ladder upon which they were sitting a little furlhei towards the top of the buildiDg. Mr. Parr in fastening the rope that held the ladder in position, failed to tie it securely, and before he could remedy the error it had slipped from his grasp and he was whirled into space. The ladder was fully twenty-five feet from the ground, and was on the side of the bui'ding next to the drug store. Below was a cement pavement. As Mr. Parr fell, be went head down ward, his head striking the bottom of the window, which cut an ugly gash in ,t. This broke the force of the fall et mewhst, and turned him oyer as h descended. llis body struck the bard cement pavement heavily, the base of the spine receiving the force of the fall, fie lay perfectly unconscious and the blooi s reamed from the wound in his head. Q lite a crowd assembled m a few miuutes,and Dr. D. D. Quillian was Miuim-'ued at once. An examination - bowed toe wounded man to be in quite a critic .1 coo lition, aa<l be was carried t once to his home on Bloomfield street. Dr. Quiiliaa mane a careful examina tion id his conuition, and found that there was no fracture of the skull, but the main injury may be concussion ot the bram resulting from injury to tin spina column. Dr. Qutliian says frem ihe pr. s« nt i d*. ations Mr. Parr his chances to recover, but that be is not out of daog< r b> any means. Mr. Pair’s many friends throughout tue city w ish him a speedy recovery. There is considerable talk around among the most progressive men of the city about the building of a new hotel. Quite a number have been built on pa per in the last few years but none have as yet materialized. The new hotel will be built, however, some of these days. “I can tell you jtbis,” saida prominent citizen yesterday, “if we will raise a guaranty company that will guarantee six per cent, on the invest ment for a number of years,the money will he forthcoming to build the new hotel.” The cotton receipts of Athena tbiB year will not go oyer thirty thousand bales. This is caused by the very short crop in this acetic n, ar.d also by the feet that a greet deal of cotton is being shipped direst from several of the small towns on the railroads near Athens. “I would like to urge upon Council,” said a citizen yesterday, “the stricter enforcement of ita specific tax law. II one is made to pay, the other in the sime business should also.” There is a prevailing sentiment among the people of Athens in favor ot exempting from taxation for a term of years all new industries that may be started in Athens, where there are nr o her industries of the like nature al ready in operation here. This is a good idea and will induce many to locate acre. “If you want to know what Athem needs wires than anything else just now,” said a citizen yesterday, “PI till you. She needs cheaper coal, and vben she gets such railroad rates ss will bring hsr cheap coal, yon will fine ch it her manufacturing interests will thrive as they have never done before.” W18 T COOT KAY b avjb Con The Dashing, Daring and Bra' federate Spy fa till Living.

The Woman’s Foreign Missionary So ciety of the First Methodist Church held a most impressive service Wednes day afternoon in remembrance of their reoently translated members, Mrs. Ann Hodgson and Mrs. Mattie Grady Ken- non. The meeting was openedriSythe pas tor in prayer, and reading latter part of Thess. 4th ohapter. Miss Mamie Lnoas, president of the society, then took charge of the services and annonnoed the following pro gramme: * Song— “Some one will enter the pearly gate, By and by, bv and by; Shall you? Shall 1?” Then Mrs. E. C.McEvoy read the fol lowing beautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs. Mattie Grady Kennon: What shall 1 say of her.our beloved sister, Mrs. Mattie Grady Keunon? How speak of that sweet life, which blessed in itself, spent many hours in bringing blessings intoother lives. Yon all knew and loved that pure, trae heart, and as thoughts of heroome co us here, they bring so many memo ries, now sadly sweet. We think of bow she went among ns doing good, quietly, patiently and gladly, because she loved her Saviour ind her Lord. Sister Mattie’s special interest, as we know, was in the little ones; here her gentle, loving ways could beet work, irawing young hearts firet to herself, then, by her influence to Christ. I heard one of our sisters say of her he other day, “All dumb animals and little children loved Mattie, she seemed to draw them to her.” How much that means to me! the ionocent ones, those most guileless,'found in her their conge nial friend. Her own ha’, like her Master’s, was always nearest to what was true and good and pure. How we love to dwell upon the beau ties of that character 1 they are like rainbow hues, each in itself so lovely; but when the electric touch of Death passed tnrougb that frame and stiller the heart-beats, it changed the rainbow colors into a light divine, which shines in its pure radiance near the eternal throne. A UNION CHURCH To be Built on the Corner of Church aud Baxter Streets. There will be a new church built in . he city at an early day.

A MEAN THIEF That Athens Can Lay Claim to. Athena can lay claim to the meaDes thief in the state; aa any thief is liable to steal a good fat turkey on short no tice, but when it comes to stealing a preacher's Thanksgiving .turkey, he ought to be hung. Our presiding elder, Rev. H. H. Parks, had bought a fine two-year-old gobler that was being fed up fer Thanks giving day. The turkey was growing fast, and everything seemed to look fa vorable for a good dinner on Thanks giving day. Oysters had been spoken of for the occasion, hut alas! all things change, and well-fed turkeys often take wings and leave before the dinner hour comes. Thus it was with onr presiding elder. Yesterday morning a nice breakfast was prepared for the turkey, and on going ont to ohicken house, the turkey was non est. This mean, low down thief had come during the dark est hours of the night, and carried it off. Some of our best citizens can now come to the front, and another two- year-old gobler will fill the want and cause our presiding elder to have good dinner on Thanksgiving.

A School Houee Was Blown Into 3pllnt6re by Two Kege of Powder —Fire Added to the Horrors of The Occasion. Fayettevillh, Ark, Nov. 17.—The Democrats of Mountain View held a presidential election celebration in tha district school house and a terrible acci dent ended the proceedings prematurely. Anvil firing and the discharge of fire works were the features of the jolilica- tion, and as a consequence a large quan tity of explosives had been provided. A portion of these had been stored in the school house. During the speech-mak ing, and while the building was packed, two kegs of powder exploded. The results were frightful. The school house was totally wrecked and most of its occupants burned in the rains. All who could extricate themselves set about at once to rescue the others. The shrieks and moans caiue from a mas* of wrecked timbers. The debris took fire in several places, and it required hat d work to prevent the cremation of the persons who were imprisoned. The flames were subdued, however, only one person suffering from the fire. A son and daughter of Silas Graham were taken out dead. and. Berry Sherod, one of the most promi nent residents of Washington county, was so badly injured that he has since Another man, whose name ha: died. not been learned, was also killed. Fif teen persons were injured—some fatally, but their names have not been learned yet. Sherod suffered horrible agony before he was gotten out of the rains. He was pinned down to the timbers, aud was ouraed beyond recognition. He lived several hours after being rescued. THE Will Commem Song— “Shall we gather at the river?” Mrs. R. L. Mobs, a life-long friend, then read in a touching manner thu beautiful and true memoir of Mrs. Ann Hodgson: Again and again has Death come int* our little band, as this year has bee: passing by, and taken of our loved— and of our be^-t—aud carried them u< he church triumphant above. Oursis- er, Mrs. Ann Hodgson, had been an earnest co-worker with us for many years, ready with loving heart, ant pen, generous band, to rescue the per ching, and send the blessed light et CL risk’s Gospel to the darkest corner the earth. Quitt, unobtrusive, faithful in tbe iischaigu of tee duties that lay thick bout n*r pathway, her life opened,anc till ad, an<l develop d, until like a shook if coru ful.y ripe, abo was ready io. .he Mantel's garner. We gather today tc do her honor, an*, to bring loving tribute to her woitl a-id her memory, yet feeling how van ate words as peu to portray the beauti ful character. She has gone io an J out amongst ui -vith gentle, womanly grace, smoothing rough places for weary feet, carry mi light aud ch*-er into darkened homes, aud making life brighter and better foi those who came witLin her influence, done in the dear Master’s name, and a. ovtog service to Him. To her co-workers in our church an* socie y, we would say that the best trib ute we can bring to her worth an memory is to imitate *er example, an o embody in our own lives the virtue* »nd graces which so signaUy character- ,zad this modest Christian woman. Only a few weeks before her depar - ure from u*, did she lay her work aside, then, as Mary of old, “she sat still ii her bouse, and her i-ord came to her.” A peaceful, happy close must com* to a life thus spent—whose foundation, whose upbuilding, whose joy ant crown was Christ. What we call death was the dawning of eternal day to her, with the joyou- greetiog, “W*!t done, good and faith ful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” As a society, we resolve— 1st. That while we mourn onr loss, we know the eternal gain is hers. 2nd. That thongb God’s workers fall at their pOst, His work still goes on— His call is still sounding for more la borers in His harvest. We must heed the call, and fill the broken ranks. 3rd. That onr tender sympathy reaches ont to the many homes in oui community shadowed by the loss of jthis honored mother. 4th. That a page in onr minutes be voted to the memory of onr beloved star, Mrs. Ann Hodgson. Bad Feeling Among Ohio Students* Athens, Nov. 17.—For the first time in years the Ohio University is in the throes of the greatest excitement. On last Friday H. H. Baker, a son of ex- Treasurer H. L. Baker, circulated a false and rualicions report about one of the students, in order to gain the com pany of one of the college girls for a lecture to be given at the city hall. Some of the more determined of the students decided to take the affair in their own hands, and gave him a bun dle of switches and a notice, headed by the skull and cross-bones, and giving him three days in which to leave the town. The students are worked up to a terrible pitch, and If Baker does not leave within the specified Mine there may be trouble. The students are not demonstrative, but are sullenly determined, and a tar- and-featlier party is one of the possibil ities of the near future.

Three unknown persons rod* into the town in a one-seated buggy. One was a man about 60 years of age. and the other two looked like children, neither one over 14 years old. The old man gave his name as M. B. Withers, and applied to the clerk for a marriage license for the youthful pair, telling the official their names were Mattie O. Withers and L. L. Allen.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 17.—The official returns from Jerry Simpson’s district give him 1,400 majority. Two years ago he was elected by 7,482. a is now believed he will not he a can- late for senator. The leaders of the fusion party fear that a new man would be defeated in that district if his seat ir congress was vacated and a special election held. Mrs. Lease says Jerry is a straightout Democrat, that he is using the People’s party and that the members do not seem to realize it. At all -Democratic banquets since Simpson has appeared as an invited guest and in his speeches is credited with the statement that a Democratic party would now take the place of the people’s movement and carry on the re forms inaugurated by it. He denies that he is connected with the alleged plot to assassinate himself. He says he' is in favor of a Democrat for senator because they played fair with us thii time and we will need them in the fu tore. On the face of returns from every county in the second district Funston is re-elected to coneress by 68 majority. Colonel Moore, his Democratic oppo nent, has given notice of his intention to contest on the ground of illegal voting in Kansas City. Kansas.

Theories are now of no avail! the re« publican argument, in faver of a high tariff on the necaseities cf life has been met by a counter argument which can not be withstood—the voice of the peo ple from Maine to California, to th* tune of 600,000 majority.
