In these latter days no city is com
plete without the preseooe of a brand
of the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion.
And in this respect Athens is pecu
liarly blessed, for the Young Men’*
Christian Association of Athens hold
a high rank among those of the entin-
South.
Its history is interesting to all lover*
of religious wbfk. It was re-organize-
after a lapse of work in 1S85, and sine-
that time has been steadily progressive
and prosperous.
While occupying two rooms on Broar
street, the Association concluded t
make an effort to raise a fund wit)
which to erect a building of its own.
A subscription list was started an J
ten thousand dollars was soon raised
The lot on the corner of Clayton and
Lumpkin streets was bought and tb<
building was commenced. As the wort
progressed it became evident that mor-
money was needed, and according}
more was raised.
As the building now stands, it i>
worth above twenty thousand dollars,
including the lot, and the completioi
of this handsome edifioe is an evidenc
of noble Christian endeavor.
SiDoe its completion, through the ef
forts of the Ladies Auxiliary, of which
Mrs. R. D. Mure is president, its par
lor* have been handsomely furnished.
For four or five years Mr. B. E. Jones
was president ot the Y. M. C. A., and
under his charge the building was for
tbe most part erected. Prof, David C
Barrow a at present president and is
guiding the Association on to un
measured prosperity.

mong the many sound and progres-
Ive firms in Athens none ranks higher
than tbe Henderaon Warehouse Com
pany.
In 1881 the warehouse on Clayton,
Thomas, and Broad streets was built by
the Henderson Warehouse Company, at
that time composed of T&lmadge, Hodg
son and Company. The business of the
Company has increased year by year
until it now does as large a business as
any similar concern in the city.
It is now composed of Hodgson Bros
A Griffeth—Messrs. E. R. Hodgson, A
H. Hodgson, J. M. Hodgson, and Char.
B. Griffith, and is the cetton depart
ment of the liye firm of Hodgson Bros.
The men who compose this Company
are well known to the people of Ath
ens and Northeast Georgia. They are
self-made men, and tbe unuiual amount
of prosperity now erjiyed by them is
but the result of hard work, ceaseless
effort, perseverance and determination.
Tbe Messrs. Hodgson have made
names lor themselves as financiers, and
the history of their suocess in business
is interwoven with the history of the
development of Athens.
Mr. C. B. Griffeth ia a young man of
sterling business worth and has been
raised up in the cotton business. He
understands his business as thoroughly
and well as any man in the city, and is
considered OBe of the safest young busi
ness men of the Classic City.
The Henderson Warehouse Company
enjoys the confidence of the business
public and is regarded as one of the
ost prosperous institutions of the city.
In the past it has done much towards
the development of Athens and is doing
ao in the present.
In the cotton business the Henderson
Warehouse Company is at the front.

There was a motion made to pay all

motion was objected to on the grounds
that the chairman would approve al
most any bills brought to him. This
was brought to a vote and two voted
for and two against it, when the Mayor
had tbe bills read, and in the article of

Who giveth more? Who lyiag quiet now
Holds laurel wreaths immortal on hie brow,
Whose rest will sweeter be then this dead bar.
Who only sleeps to waken with his God?
And think you not his poet-soul can see,
E'en now in Heaven’s sublime eternity,
A sacred poem, tho’ nnwrit by pen,
Sounding invisible, e’en now as then ? -
No harmony withheld, no light concealed,
And dreams of poesy in stars revealed.
And ia hefdesd ? He who ao latdy song
Tho heart’s best music with his silver tongue ?
And does he sleep, who ’woke the sleeping
heart
To the warm pulse-beats that his words could
start?
Ah! no, he lives! such souls can never die,
No pall can hide him from the world’s great
eye,
No deep sarcophagus can elaim his bones,
No earth, no grave, the man immortal owns.
Bat on the granite strength of heart and pen,
With knife incisive, held by fetors men,
His nemo, deep-cut, through centimes will
ring.

GEORGIA’S PRIDE-
THAT SPLENDID COLLEGE THAT
BEARS THE NAME OP
LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
Pounded In Eighteen Hundred and
Fifty-Bight, Throughout Thirty-
Pour Years It Has Exercised a
Wonderful Influence in the
■ Education of Georgia's
Young Women.
Among all of Athens’ institutions,
there is none to wbieb she points with
greater pride than to Lacy Cobb Insti
tote.
This excellent college, in which
young women are given as rounded
and perfect an education as is to b
obtained at any college for girls in the
South, was founded in 1858, principally
through the efforts of that illustrious
Georgian, Thomas R. R. Cobb, wbo
four years later on the field of Fred
ericksburg gave up bis life while fight
ing for Dixie.
Throughout the thirty-four years oi
its existence, Lucy Cobb Institute has
carried out most splendidly its great
mission, aud has exercised a wonderfu
influence in tbe education of Georgia’s
young women.
It has in the past been managed by
many able teachers, and today is under
the control of one of Georgia’s noblest
daughters. Among the alumna of thi.-
.nstitution are to be found hundreds o
the queenlieat women of our grand old
commonwealth, and in the present th<
Institute is graduating scores of fail
yonng daughters who in the coming
years shall fitly illustrate the glory of
Southern womanhood.
The Institute’s board of trustees ii
composed of the moat reliable and dis
tinguished man, and Mr. A. L. Hall,
>f this city is the efficient president.
Miss M. Rutherford is principal ol
Lucy Cobb Institute, and Georgia ha>
ao more oultured, educated and refinec
lady in her midst. Mrs. M. A. Lip
scomb is assistant principal, and a*
-eacher of literature and elocution hat
•lone excellent work among her pupils.
The faculty of Lucy Cobb Instituu
Is eomooeed of ladies of exceptional
talent, exquisitely adapted to the work
•n whieh they are engaged.
In the departments of music, ait,
literature, languages,fa fact in all de
partments there are exhibited the evi
dences of superior facilities for educat
ing the young ladies who attend.
The present year is one of unusual
prosperity so far as Lucy Cobb Institute
is concerned. Tbe largest attendance
it has known in years, added to an un
usual interest in their studies exhibited
by the yonng ladies combine to make it
» year of unprecedented prosperity.
So large has been the demands for
intrance into the school that many
young ladies have been denied admit
tance simply on account of lack of
room.
This has led to the suggestion that an
Annex be built to the Institute which
will probably be done in the near fu
ture.
The curriculum of the Lucy Cobb
institute is a very high one, everything
being taught thoroughly and well that
is necessary to a rounded and polished
■ducation.
The Institute was never in a more
prosperous condition and bids fair to
continue to rise among the best institu
tions of this country.

A Live Real Estate Firm of the Classic
City.
Athens real estate is on a boom, and
in tbe line of real estate agencies none
cm be placed ahead of that of Anderson
and Johnson.
This agency is composed of Messrs.
J. T. Anderson and L. M. Johnson, aud
the Classic City does not possess two
more active or energetic citizens.
They know their business well, and
having made ;a complete and perfect
study of it, are prepared to handle real
estate for the Jpeople in the safest and
most reliable manner.
In the past they have done a large
real estate bnslness in Clarke and ad
orning counties and are now rapidly
extending their business day by day.
This agency attends to the renting
and collecting of rents of city property,
and in this line have made a decided
success. If you have property to rent
you cannot in anyway secure a good
renter more easily than by putting the
master in the hands of Messrs. Ander
son ft Johnson.
One of the special features of the bu
siness of this agency is the sale of city
and farm lands. It has been especially
successful in this department, having
made several large sales of property in
the last few months. Only a few weeks
since they sold a fine piece of city prop
erty in Athena at a splendid price, and
the disposition of this property was
pronounced by disinterested parties to
have been most advantageous.
In all matters pertaining to
real estate, this is the
agency for you to seek| if you wish
your business transacted to an advan
tage.
All matters of business entrusted to
them will be carefully looked after,
promptly adjusted, and satisfactorily
settled.
Both of these gentlemen are
of unblemished character and high bus
iness standing. They are active, ener
getic, progressive, and are making
