A stroll down to the depot of any
one of our railroads shows that howev
er hard the times is the men at the de
pots are kept pretty busy. Of coirs
we have no means of knowing the
amount of cotton shipped to and from
Athens, but we venture the assertion if
a report were had from all the depots
we would find thousands of bales have
been shipped.
We have beard of men running for
au office, but Mr. Sam Woods is the
first man we have heard of running
from an office. He was suggested as a
suitable person for warden in the first
ward, and was considered a candiisto

some of our business men as to the
number of bales of cotton thsthsa
either been brought in Athens or h»
passed through the city during the
present season. While there wsssom*
difference of opinion it was conceow
that the amount could not have wj*
less than 18,000 bales, and donbUM*
this ia a very low estimate. PeibW 1
20,000 bales would be nearer the mu*-
