An Old Programme Which
is Full of Interest—There
Were Orators in Those
Days.
Even and anon we ran upon some
reminder of tbe past.
Yesterday Hon. W. J. Morton brought
to tbe Banner a programme of tbe
University Commencement exercises
in 1823.
It contained a list of the chosen ora
tors and their subjects and was tbe
record doubtless of glorious flights of
oratory in tbose days
The programme was banded Col.
Morton by Mr. Neisler, a member of
tbe legislature, who is a grandson of
Mr. H. Neisler, whose name appeared
aa one of tbe orators on that occasion.
The programme contains the names
of many men who in after years at
tained honor and distinction. It is as
follows:

A^Iinittke Called.—Tae action of
the Baptist church last Sabbath (in mak
ing a unanimous vote of the call of Dr.
W. H. Young to the pastorate of the
First Baptiat obnrch waa a compliment
to him as a minister, and we hope the
reverned gentlemen will acoapt the
call so heartily tendered him.
Wath melons in November—'Yes
terday the Banner office had a treat
from Mr. W H Thurmond, the nursery
man. It was a good sized melon, and
waa sweet and juicy to the taste. Mr.
Thurmond has the thanks of the Ban
neb for his kindly remembranoe.
Odd Fellows Lodge at Bogart.—
There is a thriving lodge of Odd Fel
lows at the town of Bogart on the O., C.
and N. railroad. There will be an ini
tiation at that lodge tonight, and some
of the Athens Odd Fellows will visit
that lodge on this occasion.
Colonel Smith is Better.—News
from Colonel James M. Smith prays
that he is Hot in any serious condition
of health, although he is suffering
greatly with one of his eyes. The phy
sician in attendance says that he will
he all right again In a short while.
This will be* gratifying news to his
many friends all over Georgia.
We Abe Not So Bad.—Hard times
and high taxes don’t strike Athens like
they do Atlanta. The great Gate City
with all its go ahead and apparent
prosperity has to submit to the adver-
the Consent of the
People.
Editok Banner:—Thera is a tiger
jar the line of the city on the Jeffer
son road, and it is doing a fine business.
Tho^rand jury did not effect it in the
least, and with the consent of all par
ties concerned it will ran on for the
next six months, and in that time will
make enough to pay all the floes that
may grow out of what the last grand
jury may have done, and have a hand
some rum Mt. No doubt it sells from
three to five barrels per week, judging
from the amount of jogs and bottles
thatoan be seen going and coming
from that place.
It sells on Sunday as well as Monday,
and to whites as well as negroes. They
can be seen sneaking around th) back
door on Sunday, and it is strange to
see men that have the honor of respon
sible positions sod men with their
names on church registers who profess
to te law-abiding citizens, aie seen at
this place, and it is a well-known fact
that they bny all the whisky they want
from this plsc *.
Jt-it said that it will not sell to any
white persons, but any negro can buy
all he wants for himself and f r white
friends, and when the negro is brought
before the grand jury it is ro trouble
for him to swear to a falsehood.
It has become a curse to the com
munity where it is located, and yet
parties who stand high in li f e for the
take of the dollar will not lift so much
as one finger against this evil.
Have we enough men in Clark? coun
ty who will abide by the law to en
force the law when it comes to the
test? Will this place be allowed to
stand aa it is on tbe public highway to
take money from the pockets of the
men and bread from the hungry child

Mrs. Lucy G. Yancey is dead!
This wil be read with B&ddened
hearts by many Athenians this morning,

Mrs. Yancey had been ill for only

Last night at about half past eight

oease from tioublirg and the weary are

Mrs. Yancey waa the daughter of the
late Louis J. Dupre, and was married

She was a devout member of the First
Baptist ehuroh of this city, and her
death is an irreparable loss to that
church in which she so delighted in
serving the Master.
Mrs. Yancey leaves a grief-stricken
husband, six children, ranging from
two to twenty years, and one sister,
Mrs. J. A. Huanicutt and scores of
relatives and friends all over the state
to mourn her death.
May tbe God of consolation heal the
broken hearts of the bereaved ones, and
sanctify this sad dispensation of His
providence to the good of all who
mourn on account of the departure of
this noble Christian lady.
No arrangements have aa yet been
made for the funeral exercises.

THE OIL QUESTION*
A Card from the Agent of the Stand
ard OU Company.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 6,1893.
Editob Banner We notice in your
issue of the 4th instant a card signed by
"Retailer,” complaining about the
quality of oil furnished by ns to the
Athens trade. We would explain that
the cause of the trouble grew ont of
car of oil shipped ns about six weeks
ago that Was not quite np to the stand
ard (not in the fire test bat in the barn'
ing qualities) which was not discovered
until pumped into the storage tank and
put on the market. As soon as oom.
plaint was made to us we immediately
ordered a car of high test oil, and on its
arrival pumped same into storage tank,
which made It aa good as any prime
white 1300 oil ever put on any market.
We agreed to take back any of the old
stock that had been sold to the deale ro
before this last oil was pat into oar
tank, bat very little was returned ns,
as most of it bad been sold. We did
not increase the price on . account of
the car of high test oil pnt [on the mar
ket, wbioh costa more than the com
mon oil. We sell the common 1300 oil
to the retailers here at a very low figure
delivered at their stores. On? P. Vf
oil haa always been from 10 to 20 de
grees over that which the law allows ns,
as Inspector Lyle stated in his card
some time ago. We noir born a sam
ple from each car 24 hoars before it is
pumped into the storage tank, so as to
be sore it is all right.
Since the car of bad oil was received
we have received two more can of the
same grade and from the same place
which waa all right. We have received
at least one hundred cars of this oil
since this was made a balk station, and
never had a gallon rejected by the in
spector or a single complaint before of
bad oiL We keep in stock better grades
of oil, bnt.because it oosts them a little
more the dealers have never bought
enough to authorize us to place it on
sale in balk. We would also explain
that if some some of the kickers will
clean ont their tanka oftener and the
consumers will put new wicks in their
lamps we think the result will be that
they will get a much better light.

IMPROVED TREATMENT.
No Mineral Poisons.
A Purely Vegetable Remedy.
Drank a Quarter of a Century.
I am a tinner by trade and up to the time ol
taking the treatment of The Georgia Liquor
and Opium Cure Company, April 20, 1893, had
been a regular drinker for twenty-five yean.
My last spree lasted from Christmas, 1892, to
the beguiling of this treatment, during which I
used as much as two quarts of whiskey daiy.
That my life was saved by the treatment there
can be no doubt, and I consider the cure the
greatest boon ever offered the drunkard. ]
could not keep from heralding its virtues to mv
fellow man lfl wished, so sensibly do I feel and
appreciate the wonderful transformation that
has been wrought in restoring me to sobriety
and health, words are Inadequate to express
my gratefulness for the great benefit which I
have received. I no longer have any appetite
or desire for stimulants and should I or any
other man who his been cured of the liquor
habit return to drinking again it would be con
trary to nature and the man alone would be to
blame, as the cure is a success In every sense of
