GREAT SALE OF LADIES MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.
Will place on sale Monday and during the week 200 dozen pieces Huslin Underwear, divided into Nine lots, for Ladies, Misses and Children. Our last Under
wear Sale was the largest in the history of the City.
Our stock was large; we thought we had enough to supply all, but before night the assortment was broken, many disappointed; this time we have just double
the quantity, but there are sure to be big crowds and the best things will go first. To get your share we would advise you to be on hand early.
From Tuesday’s Banner.
Another of Athens’ oldest and most
distinguished citizens has crossed over
the river and joined the silent majority
Sunday night at nine o’clock, snr
rounded by his family, the last sum
mens came to Judge James R Lvb- ><
his home on College avenue.
Judge Lyle had been in failing healtl
for several years and his death was not
unexpected. Over a year since Judge
Lyle was partially stricken with paraly
sis, and never fully recovered from the
effects of the stroke.
For the past few weeks Judge Lyle’s
health declined rapidly and his loved
ones knew that the end was approach
ing. At the time of his deatlr Sunday
night he was sitting in his chair before
the fire conversing with bis wife and
family.
Swift as lightning came the summons.
He leaned over in his chair, his head
upon his breast and lapsed into uncon
sciousness. He was quickly placed upon
his bed and Dr. Dillard was hastily sum
moned. Before Dr. Dillard could reach
the hous6 Judge Lyle was dead. Fe
lived only a few minutes after giving
evidence of the last and fatal stroke.
The death of Judge Lyle removes one
of the oldest and most highly esteemed
citizens of this community, and the
news of his death will carry sorrow into
many homes not only in Athens but
throughout the state.
Judge Lyle bad occupied a number of
responsible positions during his life, and
was well known not only in this section
but all over Georgia. He was born in
Jackson county, Oct. 10, 1833, and was
consequently in the sixty-sixth year of
his life when the last summons came.
He attended the University of Georgia
three years, and was among the first
students in the Lumpkin Law School,
which is now the University Law
School.
In 1860 he was elected Intendant of
Athens a position he held until he vol
unteered into the sendee of the Confed
eracy where he served with distinguished
gallantry throughout the war, coming
out as a major.
He devoted himself assidiously to the
practice of his chosen profession, and
for many years was one of the leading
lawyers of the Western circuit.
For a term of years he occupied the
office of ordinary of Oconee county,
which position he served with distin
guished ability.
In 1886 he was chosen senator from
the 27th senatorial district and as a
member of the state senate did valuable
servioe not only to his district but to the
entire state.
During the years 1864 and 1895 he was
city attorney of Athens, he having
moved to Athens a few years previous
to that time. At the time of his death
he was state oil inspector for this dis
trict.
Judge Lyle married Miss Morton, a
sister of Hon. William J. Morton, of

An idea that you’d like to let
A trolley car
Hit you a jubilant jar,
Make up your mind I’m not far
Away.
Say!
My microbes are gay
Boys!
That noise

My
Germ choirs singing, ‘'There’ll Be a Hot
Time in the Etecetera”—that’s what!
Sometimes I land on the nose,
And my victim goes
Around conversing through
Anew •
Dialect that sounds like a buzz-saw
Giving the haw-haw
To a pine plank.
Sometimes I yank
My victims around with a pain
In the brain
That resembles the business end
Of a railroad collision, and I send
Them scurrying to
The quinine bucket—oh, yon
Can’t tell what I’m going to do
Till I get through.

The remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Moon

Sunday afternoon.
Quite a large number of friends and

hour to pay their last tribute of affection
to the memory of the deceased.
The choir saDg sweetly the hymns,
“Asleep in Jesus,”-Saviour, More Than
Life to Me,” and “How Firm aFounda

Mr. F. W. Lucas, being called upon
by the preacher, offered up a fervent
prayer.
Rev. E. D. Stone preached the funeral
discourse from the text, “Them also that
sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him.” Mr. Stone’s remarks were
especially appropriate as touching the
long Christian life of the deceased. Mr.
H. T. Rogers concluded the services
with prayer.

would have been equally as bad as the

about two days before getting ‘down.”

New York Journal Prints a Story Over Her
Signature.
New York, Jan. 9.—Fayne Strahan-
Moore, or “Pet” Strahan, has written a
novel since sh6 has been imprisoned in
the Tombs. At least she is given credit
for having written it, and her name is
signed to the story, which appears in
today’s New York Journal. It is sup
posed to be an adroitly turned story of
her own extraordinary career, the dra
matis personae representing the princi
pal actors in the recent badger trial that
has set the continent talking.
“Pet” Strahan is pictured ah a society
queen in Atlanta. This, of course, is
the veriest nonsense,, and will provoke
laughter in Atlanta, where she was a
very pretty and perhaps a very preco-
And Navy Are Being Increased Despite Disarm
ament Proceedings.
London, Jan. 9.—The Sebastopol cor
respondent of the Times, who has been
tonring in European Russia for two
months to discover if possible some evi
dence on the part of the Russian gov
ernment to give effect- to the disarma
ment proposals of Emperor Nicholas,
says all bis observations were . quite to
the contrary. The correspondent says:
“At the naval dock yards I found
feverish activity- Not a man has been
withdrawn from the frontiers. The
ministers of war and marine have been
inspecting all the important military
and naval stations, urging an accelera
tion of the preparations for defense, but
apparently never mentioning the czar’s
manifesto.
“The number of men enrolled in the
army and navy during the months ot
October and November last were larger
than ever.
Re-enforcements are being Bent to the
far east as fast as they can be trans
ported, and all the garrisons along the
frontier increased.”
Those who attended Hoyt’s Chapel
Sunday afternoon and the Presbyterian
church Sunday night had the pleasure
of hearing two fine lectures on Persia
from the lips of a full-blooded Persian.
Yonan is the name of the Persian and
he is a Presbyterian preacher. His
father was a Presbyterian minister and
was one of the first converts to Christi
anity in Persia.
Yonan, at an early age in life married,
and a few years later determined to
come to America. Hdcame, and later
on his wife joined him m this country.
He could not speak a word of English
and on his trip from Russia to Chicago
didn’t speak to human being.
In Chicago he met with a Persian and
was delighted to break his long silence.
Since being in this country seven years
he has acquired a fluent use of the
English language, has graduated at two
literary colleges, and has'taken a thor
ough course in medicine.
His lectures here Sunday were of in
tense interest. He lectured on Persia
and her religions customs. So interest
ing was he that twenty young men who
had heard him at Hoyt’s Chapel Sunday
afternoon came again Sunday night to
hear him at the Presbyterian church.
Yonan will return soon to Persia,
where he will establish a large hospital
for the benefit of his people.
