ATHENS BANNER .~.IIESI>At MORNING NOVEMBER 29 iSM
TWO LOADS OF SHOT
DISCHARGED INTO THB SHOUL
DER OP
MR. CICERO BAILEY.
A Shotgun in the Hands of Mr. Henry
Beusse Accidentally Goes Off and
With Bad Results—The Wounds
Not Necessarily Fatal.
.It is nearly always the case on
Thanksgiving day that we have to
chronicle the fact that tome one while
oat hunting got a load of shot pat in
them.
■Thursday was no variation in the
usual programme, lor Mr. Cicero C.
Bailey while out hunting near Barber-
ville received two loads of shot in the
shoulder.
There was > large party of young
men out near Barberville hunting, and
several of them stopped at a spring to
get water, and as soon as they had
rested a little while Mr. Bailey and one
or two of the party started on. Mr.
Henry Beusse had & shot gun
and before getting over the fence after
leaving the spring be let the hammers
of the gun down, and as he got over the
fence both loads of the gun were dis
charged at the same time, and both
loadB taking eflcct in Mr. Bailey’s
shoulder.
Mr. Beusse cannot account for bow
the gun came to go off, as he says the
hammers did not strike against any
thing.
Mr. Bailey was brought to his father’s
residence—Mr. Thomas Bailey—where
he will have the best medical treat
ment The wounds are througbt to be
very bad but not likely to prove fatal
Mr. Henry Beusse regrets the acci
dent very much, as he and Mr. Bailey
were great friends.

PAYING THE TEACHERS
the Public
Who Have Taught in
Schools.
It .has been a thoroughly known fact
that the state of Georgia hasn’t been
the promptest paymaster in the world
when it came to paying the teachers in
her common schools.
Bat she is making up for her
ness now, and on the tenth
month County School Comm
Bernard, of this county, will turi
between four and five thousand
in Clarke county ic full payment of
the State's obligations to these teach
ers.
He will have enough funds at hand
to pay all the obligations made by the
Board, and the teachers will rejoice.
Commissioner Bernard is an able and
efficient officer and labors zealously for
the cause of common school education
in Athens. His work should be highly
appreciated.

simply waiting for an opportunity to
carry it into effect.

Adam Johnson.
When Sheriff Austin went to the jail
i he entered the room where seven ne

room empty.
In the corner of the room he saw a
big hole in the ground. He immediately
made an examination, and found that
the negroes had broken one of the flags
in some way, and had then dug under
the wall of the building and gotten ont.
The men had to dig into the ground

YALE TRIUMPHANT.
Princeton’s Tigers Failed to Score-
Tale Made Two Touch Downs.
New York, Nov. 25*—The great
Thanksgiving day foot ball game drew
30,000 enthusiastic spectators to Man
hattan park yesterday afternoon to see
the black and orange of Princeton go
down in defeat before the blue of Yale
by a score of 12 to 0.
The result cf tbe game was expected,
butPriuceton did entertain some hopes
of scoring. These hopes proved vain,
however, and Yale’s record of two
years of victory without having a point
scored against her remains unbroken.
' Yale scored two touch downs and
two goals, a total of 12, while the Prince-
tonians never crossed the Yale goal line.
In 1893 the university of Pennsylvania
will be Yale’s opponent in the Thanks-
giving day game.
What the New York World Has to Say
About the Wanderer.
The comet which is now careering
about in the neighborhood of Androm
eda would have met the severe disap
probation of the late lamented L rd
Dundreary. It “doesn't know its own
mind.”
Two days ago it was only 11,000,000
miles distant, and was alleged to be
making a tosh to grab oar moon. Yes
terday it was 250,000,000 miles dislant,
and running away from us as precipi
tately as a boy detected by the irate j
farmer in a raid upon a favorite apple
tree.
Then again it was threatening to
“knock us Into smithereens”—if any
reader happens to know what a “srnith-
ereen” is. Now we are assured by the
comet’s most intimate, friends, the as
tronomers, that it oouldn’c knock on;
the lightest feather-weight who ever
stood up In a ring. It is composed,
they tell us, of material more tenuous
than that which r< mains in a vacuum
glass after our bast air pump has ope
rated on i\
Still again those astronomers yrho re
ported the comet as coming towards us
declared that it was growing larger as
it approached but growing fainter also.
They predicted that by the time it really
got near os it could not be seen at all,
because of Its extremely tenuous char
acter. Who’s afraid of a comet so thin
in substance that you can't see it at
arm’s length!
The only certain thing revealed by
the ooming of this comet is that the as
tronomers really know next to nothing
about comets. It is not only that they 1
differ in opinion as to what the mon- I
sters are made of, bnt that they can’t j
tell whioh way they are travelling or
how far away they are.
The only man who really knows any
thing about comets appears to be Ig
natius Donnelly, who in “Raguarok”
played detective and worked up a case
against a comet that committed assault-
and battery upon the earth some mil
lions of years ago. After the custom of
detectives he let the offender get beyond
the reach of arrest before finding out
the facts.
On the whole, it is just as well to let
the comet work out its own problems
While we get ready to celebrate
Thanksgiving and Christmas.—Ni

was boarded by L. Clark Davis, editor
of the Ledger, who with Mr. Jefferson
will bs Mr. Cleveland’s only compan
ion during his holiday. Mr. Davis had
bis hunting traps with him, and a’-
though he declined to say where the
party were bound for, he did say they
would probably put in the greater por
tion of the time shooting.
When the train pulled into Broad
street station, several newspaper men
climbed aboard and gave their cards to
the colored porter, with tbe request
that they be given to Mr. Cleveland
In a moment the porter returned with i
a grin on his sable face and the cards in
his hands. He handed them back with
the remark: “He says he can’t read /
within.”

Next Week.
Atlanta, Ga., Not. 25.—The fej*.
gia, Carolina ar1 Northern Bailroti
will unload its passengers In the union
depot in first-class style alter next week.
The officers of the road are highly
elated at the completion ol its sple
arrangements and are congratulating
themselves oyer the fact that their ter
minal facilities are equal to those oi
any road entering the city.
Arrangements were made with the
Western and Atlantic road to connect
with that road at Howells, four tniia
from the city, by a belt line and bring
their passengers in over that route.
This put the new road into the depotoi
an equal footing with the other roads.
To carry out this plan a belt of six
miles had to be built from a point oa
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern,
four miles from the city, to Howells os
the Western and Atlantic.
To build a belt line required time,
and the management set about it is
earnest. The contracts were let »
contractors with the stipulation that it
be pushed through rapidly.
The work was done with the utmost
di-patch, and on Monday was competed.
All that remains to be done is to put is
tbe switches. Next week the handsome
trains of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern will roll into the union de
pot.
