Athena might, and justly, be called
the Lowell of the South from its near
approach to Lowell, Mass., in the man
ufacture of cotton and woolen cloth.
The Athens Manufacturing Company
his at its head as president of the com
pany Mr, R. L. Bloomfield who has had
charge of this large factory fora num
ber of years. He is strictly a business
man in every sense of the word and
looks after the welfare of his operatives
as well as the interest of the stock
holders of the Athens Manufacturing
Company. He is;a man of but few
words but what few be says are to the
point. He attends to every department
of the upper and lower factory and sees
that those who send in their orders for
goods are shipped on the first train.
The Athens Manufacturing Company
is financially one of the strongest in
this section of the country and no de
lay is ever caused on aocount of no cot
ton being on hand to supply the de
mand.
In this faotory which consists of the
npper and lower factory one being hnilt
and run above the bridge on Oconee
river and the other, or main factory, be
low the bridge on Oconee river. The
water power is sufficient to turn many
more spindles than ara at present used.
None but the best operatives are em
ployed and nothing but the best ma
chinery used. The Athens Manufact
uring Company will not turn out bad
work of any kind, they malje good, olean
goods and find ready Bale iu Europe as
well as America for all they can make.
The Georgia factory is situated only
four miles from Athens on the Mtcon &
Northern Railroad, and is under the
management and control of Mr. John
White who stands at the head of factory
managers. The Georgia factory has a
large number of operators and the very
best machinery that oan be bought in
Northern and Western markets. It
was a few years ago burned down and
built up in a short time.. Mr. White
will have none bat experienced work
men who know how to manage the mi
chinery and make ae good doth and
thread as oan be made in any of the
northern cities.
Everything about the Georgia Fac
tory is managed. in a systematic man
ner. It has all the many necessaries to
run it successfully and propose to keep
it up to the higher point heth winter
and summer. The hands employed
A TBIP TO ATLANTA
ALLEN G. THURMAN DEAD.
The missionary work of our eity is no
small afiiir by any means, and the good
done is immense. The reporter
otlled on one of the ladies who
belongs to the missionary society and
informed her of his business, and she at
once gave an iniight int? the amount
of work done by both the Home and
Foreign missionary sooietiei of the city.
Every church in the city, said the lady,
has asooiety for Home and Foreign
missions, and I can only speak for the
First Methodist churoh, and a look at
what that churoh is doing will give you
an insight in tojthe others.
The horns mission of the First Meth
odist chnrch from March 1894, to March
1895 distributed five hundred dollars.
This year we nave not had so many
calls as last year and did not ask for bo
mnoh. Last year we clothed two chil
dren at the orphans home. These chil
dren have been sent back to their rela
tives. This year the home mission had
only one ohild to clothe at the orphans
home.
We have the city divided into four
districts and two ladies in esch district
to visit the sick and see after their wants.
The cases are reported and investigated
before they gat help, aid when found
to be in need their wants are immedi
ately attended to.
The foreign missionary, society raised
nearly five hundred dollars whioh was
sent to the general foreign missionary
society. They have regular members
who pay so much a month and it all
gots to support regular workers now in
the field in foreign countries Last
year we raised one hundred and twenty-
four dollars to send out new missions
This was all done by the ladies mission
ary society of the First Methodist
ohnrch of Athens. They also support
a young lady at one of the sohools in
China. They have a large library of
bock3 on the sobject of foreign missions.
There is also a juvenile missionary so*
ciety composed of the little ohildren of
ohnroh and these children send one
hundred dollars for the support of Miss
Alice Hunter, who is attending the
day school in Shanghai, China.
The ladies of the home mission made
88 visits to the siok in Athens this year.
All of the churches have societies who
do missionary work and eaeh and every
churoh is doing a great deal of work for
the siok and needy.
There are also quite a number of la
dies in our-city who do not belong to
the misiionary societies, hut who do a
great deal of good in helping the poor
of our city. They have their meetings
at different residences in the oity and
no one who is in |need of something to
eat or wear will be turned away.
They are at present preparing
Christmas tree for.the little young ones,
During the Exposition everybody
will go to Atlanta, and the question of
expense is a necessary subject for con
sideration. While there are many ways
of economizing so as to leave an offset
for yonr traveling expenses, there is no
method of doing this more surely than
by going to J. P. Stevens & Bro., the
well-known jewelers, 47 Whitehall St.,
where watohes, diamonds, silver, eto.
will beofieredyou at such a low price
that you will save yonr traveling ex
penses simply by the difference in their
prices and what is demanded for the
same things at other places. Another
point—what yon get from J. P. Stevens
& Bro. yon can rest assured is pare.
They havs a great reputation for fair
dealing and pnre goods.

PILLSBURY BANQUETTED.
The American Chess Champion Royally
Received In Russia.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 12.—At the
Chess club banquet held last Sunday in
honor of Harry Nelson Pillsbury, the
young Brooklyn chess player who took
first prize in the international chess
tournament recently held at Hastin
England, and of Steinitz, who won fifth
prize in the same tournament, Presi
dent Sabourow of the Russian Chess
club, in welcoming the guests said that
Russia had the warmest friendship for
America.
Mr. Pillsbury, in responding, thanked
the club for the honor conferred upon
him and fellow players in inviting them
to participate in a tourney in which the
best chess players in the world axe to
compete.
Covey to “Expose” Crisp.
Massillon, O., Dec. 12.—J. S, Coxey,
expects to “expose Congressman Crisp’;
inconsistency on the silver question,’
in the south next week. He proposes
to show that while Crisp advocates free
silver now when he has no power to ac
complish anything, he prevented favor
able legislation in 1893, by constituting
the house coinage committee of enemies
of the white metal. Mr. Coxey will
speak in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday
night. Thence he goes to Atlanta for
two days and on the return trip Will
stop at Chattanooga and Knoxville.

about a mile from the center of the
town, and details were eagerly awaited.
Absolutely no information came with
the announcement of the death of the
aged statesman save that it occurred at
15 p. m.
The French say <( it ia the impossible
that happens.” This has proved to be
the esse with the Mount Lebanon
Shakers. The whole scientific world
as been laboring to care dyspepsia,
but every effort seemed to meet with de
feat. The suffering from stomach trou
bles has become almost universal. Mul
titudes have no desire for food and that
which they do eat causes them pain and
distress. Sleepless nights are the rule
and net the exception, and thousands of
sufferers have become disoouraged ■
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon re

It promptly relieves nearly all forms
of indigestion. Ask yonr druggist for

as one of the operatives said a few days
ago *«it is now in good hands who know
how to run a factory and have the money
to back it.”
The Prinoeton Factory is looated
about two miles from Athens and is
owned by Capt. James White, of the
National Bank and under the manage
ment of Mr. John White Morton.
Mr. White has the money necessary
to ran the|fsotory and will keep plenty
of cotton on hand all through the year
to keep the operators at work. Mr.
John White Morton the manager is a
young man and not afraid of work. He
attends to all the departments of this
large concern. We predict for him to
be one of the leading factory men of our
oonntry.
There are other factories near Athens
hut these three that have brea written
about are our immediate neighbors and
we take a pride in giving them the first
showing. Other factories where cotton
and woollen goods are made are spoken
of as a possibility, but the Athens M’i’g
Co., The Georgia Factsry and Princeton
Faotory are looated in the vioinity of
Athens.

W
The National Civil Service Reform League
In Session at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 12.—The National
Civil Service Reform league ’ began its
armnni meeting at the Cosmos club here
with an unusually large attendance of
delegates. President Carl Schurz of
the league delivered the annual address.
At the morning session President John
Joy Edson of the local civil service
reform association briefly welcomed
the league to Washington, and so did
one of the District commissioners on
behalf of thj city. At the meeting at
Metzerott hall at night, Mr. Edson
made a more extended speech in intro
ducing President Schurz to the audi
ence.
After the morning session of the
league, the delegates were entertained
at luncheon by the Rev. Dr. Mackay
Smith, first vice president of the local
civil service reform association, and
Friday, between the morning and after
noon sessions, Colonel William G. Rice
of the civil service commission, has in
vited the members of the league to
meet the members of the civil service

WAITING ON GROVER.
Salisbury's Answer Will Not Be Made Pub
lie Until the President’s Return.
Washington, Dec. 12.—Lord Salis
bury’s answer to Secretary Olney on
the Venezuelan question will not he
made public until the return of Presi
dent Cleveland. It appears that Mr.
Cleveland was aware of the nature of
the answer before he left, and it is be
lieved he had the entiro text by cable
from Ambassador Bayard. This, how
ever, was a private communication and
was not the formal submission of Great
Britain’s answer.
The latter formality occurred after
Mr. Cleveland’s departure, so that it is
felt to be a courtesy due the president
to await his return, and possibly his ex
amination of the original manuscript
before giving it to the public. There is
no disinclination in London, it is stated,
to making the answer public as soon as
due proprieties have been observed.
