The Most Improved Machin ery Used—Thousands of Operatives Employed —Good Wages. 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. Tee Old Roman Passes Away at His Home In Ohio—A Great Shock. Columbus, O., Dec. 12.—Allen G. Thurman died at 1:15 p. m. The death Mr. Thurman was a painful thock to the general public here.

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.

W, A. England, Sexton, 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. F.

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. MARVELOT73 RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev.
