Supt. Bond was delighted at the open
ing. He thinks that between 200 and
300 more children will enter the white
schools.
The children of Athens are as bright
as any in the world,” said Supt. Bond.
‘‘Those of Paris, London, New York, or
any other place, do not average higher
in intelligence than those in this city.
1 perfect specimens of health—robust,
clear-skinned, bright eyed and active.”
It was indeed refreshing to note the
buoyant and happy countenances of the
children as they tripped merrily onward
yesterday. Their presence upon the
streets was an incentive to activity with
others, and the result was that every
body enjoyed the change from lethargy
to activity.
The teachers too were iu a happy
frame of mind, and looked overjoyed
when the hour arrived to begin again
tlio duties of another term.
■Vacation is looked forward to by both
teacher and scholar with fond irnpa-
tieuoe and so is the arrival of the day
for work and study after the months of
rest, play and recreation.
There was not a sad face to be seen in
any of the schools yesterday, and among
the galaxy of happiness nono appeared
more rejoiced than Supt. Bond aud his
competent and ablo corps of teachers.
The record yesterday will be greatly
augmented by a larger attendance to
day.

Passed Away Yesterday Morning After a Brief
Illness.
From Thursday’s Banner.
Yesterday morning at half-post ten
o'clock at the home of her aunt, Mrs.
McLain, on South Lumpkin street, oc
curred the death of Mrs. Robert E. Gar
rison.
Mrs. Garrison had been in failing
health for a long while, but her death
was not looked for until a few days
since.
Three weeks ago, Mrs. Garrison was
taken with an attack of gastric fever,
and to that disease her death is attribu
table. Despite the most careful atten
tion, she gradually sank, and passed
away yesterday morning.
Mrs. Garrison leaves a husband and
four little children to mourn her death.
To them in this dark hour the sympa
thies of many friends are extended.
Mrs. Garrison was Miss Lou O'Farrell
previous to her marriage, and for the
greater part of her life lived iu Athens
where she had many warm and devoted
friends. She was the sister of ex-Mayor
W. D. O’Farrell, ex-Postmaster . James
O’Farrell, and Capt. A. H. O’Farrell, of
this city, and Gapt. C. J. O’Farrell, of
Atlanta. -
The funeral services will he held this
morning at ten o’clock at- the home of
Mrs. McLain on Lumpkin street. They
will be conducted by Dr. J. W. Heidt,
pastor or the First Methodist church, of
which church the deceased had long
been a member. The retrains will be
interred ip Oconee cemetery.
Citizens are Pushing the Organization of the
New Company.
The first soliciting of stock for the
new bobbin mill company was done yes
terday.
All who were approached on the sub
ject talked most encouragingly aud
many of them subscribed for stock iu
the company.
The canvass for stockholders will be
started again today aud will be kept up
until all the stock is taken.
Judging from the. amount of interest
the people are taking in this matter, it
will not be many days before all the
stock is taken and the company fully
organized
"S c here, young man, you’re no
good,” said a prominent Athenian to a
Bauner reporter yesterday.
“What’s wrong with me, mister,”
meekly interposed the reporter.
“Well sir, you start to do a thing and
stop before you accomplish auything.
Yoa’re a bad egg, that’s all.”
“Well, now that’s tough, but what’s
the trouble? Speak out, I won’t hurt
yon,” again answered the news gatherer.
“You bet I will,” said the gentle
man, “aud I’ll speak plain too. It’s
abont the new union depot; why don’t
you keep on kicking until you get that
depot. Athens is entitled to this much
consideration from the railroads at least,
and I, for one am ready to take off my
coat, put on the gloves, and scrap to a
finish until we get it.”
Tho reporter switched from being in
terviewed to interviewer and asked:
“But how can I make the railroads
build a union depot?”
“Why, by continually howling and
calling their attention to the fact Jhat
it is their duty to built it. Atlanta will
get a new one, yon see if she don’t, and
the newspapers will be the cause of it’s
being built.”
Wonder if the gentleman is rijjht?
The reporter fears more rigid measures
will have to be brought to bear, yet The
Bauner man is willing to write a column
of “depot complaints” every day if the
depot can be secured iu this way.
Athens certainly needs a union depot-,
aud she needs it badly ?
