WORDS OF COUNSEL TO THE GRAD UATING CLASS* is only toinporary, for like leaves be- nation on the part of its inhabitants. fore the autumn blast, the guests vanish ■with summer and Othello’s occupation is gone; while “pigs in the pen” and like manly and intellectual sports are supplanting base ball. Boys, in your aspire to journalism, An army must have its leader, as like wise any great public movement. We would like to hear suggestions from our citizens as to the man w« must select for this patriotic and noble pusi- sition. Cincinnati^ was called from don’t cable to London for the .place of | the plow'to command the legions o: On Wednesday next twenty-seven young men will receive their diplomas, r.nd begin their career in life. -Bight here it will not be amiss to whis per a few words of counsel into the ears of this little band of incipient states men. Boys, no doubt that each and every one of you start out with the eon- viction firmly inplanted in your inno cent and con tiding breast that you now leave the world by the tail and a down hill pull on it; lmt let us sav that the sooner you dispel that little hallucina tion the earlier will you be broken to to the tread-mill of life. In fact, the caudal appendage of Mother Earth is supposed to be located iu * the vicinity of the North Pole, and every fellow who went in search of it was “left out in the cold.” l)o not, boys, imagine that your little strip of parchment is an open s*saine to all the good things of life, for your diploma was made by the hands of men, and possesses no more potent power lhail a piece of plank. In fact, in a great many instances, a diploma formed of a good healthy shingle, and pre sented by some athletic professor in the right manner, would.be of far greater value to its ambitious winner than a harmless slice of sheep skin. You have to work, boys, for all your •dimes and honors, and it’s going to be an up-grade pull from the moment you leave the gates of old Franklin college. Occasionally one of you graduates, •at a single bound, mounts to the top of the steps; but such cases are very rare. iVc have, never known but one instance of such a startling and sudden rise in the world, and discovered that on our Western tour, in the person of a gradu-- at<* of a few years back, who has been appointed chief engineer on an elevator in a Kansas hotel. But even this young man did not seem happy, for he had scarcely readied the goal of his ambi tion on the seventh flour of the house, than some hard-hearted guest, by a simple touch on the electric bell, would at once bring him back to the lowest level. ’Tis thus with life. A man who is suddenly elevated to fame and fortune will always find people at the bottom of Ihe the steps to ring him back, and unless he is implanted'on a.) immova ble foundation he’s apt to tumble. The old-fashioneJ, but slow way, hoys, is the safest. You must begin at the bottom and gradually and cautiously work your way upward. This may take a year, anil it may take forever; but, if, at every step, you will entrench yourself in tiie confidence of the people, and be sober, moral and industrious, you are mighty apt to reach that sphere in life for which nature moulded you. We have never known but one gradu ate of our University to make anything like a success on a fast schedule—and it wasn’t a very fast one, either. He drives a street car in Boston. But like our elevator friend, he, too, has his tri al* and tribulations, for at every cross ing his pathway is retarded by pro saic travellers. Thus it will be with yourselves, boys, when you try to get through life with a hop, skip and a jump. You will meet with continuous interruptions. Don’t start out, boys, either, with your sights elevated too high. It’s bet ter to begin with the sole of some little freshman’s shoes as a target for your orbs of vision. We have never known but one of your number to make anything out of high spirits, and he is the proud proprietor of a bar room in a Georgia city, aiftl keeps his spirits up by pouring spifits down the throats of his thirsty qp_s^. tomers. But even this aspiring young g‘uius’ pathway through life is not b irdered with roses, for he has his troubles and sight drafts and heartaches and headaches the same as other peo ple. Occasionally you see one entire clas; of college graduates wade right into soft berths, but they generally hail from Yale or Harvard, which are con veniently located to the summer resorl hotels and baseballs grounds, where inviting fields are presented for the ex ercise of their talents. But this glory horse editor on the Times; but begin your career by proofing galleys or sorting “pi,” in the office of your village paper. This has been the starting point for all great editors. If you feel yourself especially moul ded for the bar, just serve a long ap prenticeship under, some rural justice of the peace. The only bar at which you can drop into a paying business is that at which all manner of crimes and litigation are s:-id to be sold by the drink. It is the same with any and all avo- tions in life. You must begin at the bottom and gradually work up. No doubt that every one of you boys have a profession mapped out. Have you ever considered that in this line the path to success is a narrow and tortur ous one, and few ever reach the end; while each side of the way is lined with disappointed wrecks ? There is far more honor, profit and happiness in being a first-class farmer than a fifth-rate lawyer; in being pro fessor of a straight furrow than pro fessor of some little country school, where you can only hope to keep body and soul together; to be a skilled car penter than a deride cobbler. First carefully study yourselves, boys, and don't make the mistake of trying to bore an inch auger hole with an intel lectual gimblet. Before we close,boys, let us whisper a dosing word of advice into your listen ing cars: Doubtless every member of your graduating class has formed loving attachments in the Classic City—for our Athens girls are noted for their winsome ways. Very naturally you will fed it incumbent upon you to indite a tender farewell to the especial fair one. It is altogether right and proper that von should do so. But, in the strictest confidence, let us be seech you notjto bogin that sweet-icented note: “-Maid of Athens ere we part,” or ere anything else. That old gag has been chimed .into the ears of our girls at the winding up of every commence ment since the town was in itsswadling clothes. And again, that “Mai d of Athens,” in all probability, has more than one string to her bow, and, to say the least, it becomes chestnut hellish and monotonous for her to havni sung into her ears this same effusion by a dozen or more admirers. One young lady .who has been a reigning belle in our city for thirty-seven terms—who has made more mashes than any woman since the days of Cleopatra, and has reaped a rich harvest among the suscep tible students—has recently prepared a table of statistics in regard to her beaux, which shows that thir teen college boys out of every fourteen either bring in or end their loving vale dictories with this little poetical gem from Byron. Tiik Banner will watch your career boys, with the deepest interest, to see if our well meant words of counsel have fallen on listening ears. A LEADER WANTED* ^^crcisi aw Home, and without a murmerlie obeyed the appeal of his country. The Classic City has her Cincinnati’s in some store, warehouse, factory, office, or pur- sueing the ordinary walk of life. Our people must meet and call him forth. The right man, when named, will no: close his ears to such an appeal. The gratitude and esteem of his people and friends will more than compensate him for his exertion. We have the Leader among us. We must call him from his personal pur suits and direct his efforts and his en ergies to the highest and nobit st work of man—the promotion of happiness and prosperity of his city and his peo ple. Athens is possessed of both capital an .l enterprise, but we aye sadly in need of a i.KADKU—of some man possessing the confidence of the people, who will step forward and organize and inthuse our citizens and map out work for them. We have severaf such men in Athens, hut heretofore they have remained in retirement. The day and hour has now arrived for our people to center upon and call out a leader, and around him rally. Every day that we neglect this important matter delays for that length of time the tidal wave of pros perity that is ready to hurst upon us; We have already relied for too long a time on chance and our natural advan tages. In this day* and generation, when push, pluck and perseverance are the only sure and speedily road to progress, Athens must rely more upon the efforts of her own citizens than the gifts of nature. We have talked to nearly all of our people,and fin’d them ripe for any move ment tending to l^iild up and further the interest of Athens. But they are like a flock of sheep without a shepherd, and are patiently waiting for some n,a 1 to step forward and volunteer as a lead er. They are ready to give their lands, their money and their time, and when the Head steps forward he will find himself surrounded by a band of ear nest, enthused and willing workers. There is notv no jar or discord among our people. We have never seen them more enthused, determined or united! Each and every one holds the prosperity of Athens paramount, to any personal interest. The richest and the poorest alike feel an honest and patriotic pride in their eity, and fully realize the fact that the time has arrived for a united effort on the part of her people to broot Athens. This feeling must be crystalized—our people must he collected together and jvery man assigned his work.A victory was never won by disorganized troops —neither was any great city ever built without concert or action and organi- HAS HARRISON A SOUTHERN POLICY? Noth withstanding the fact says the Savannah News that the President said in his inaugural aduress that he should have no executive policy thatwlias sec tional in its character, several of the northern newspapers assert quite posi tively that he has decided upon a policy for the south. In a long special from Washington, which appeared in the New York World a day or two ago, it was asserted that the President had determined to establish his party in the south upon a firmer footing, aud to ac complish that object would urge the passage of tiie Blair educational hill and would appoint, as a rule, only native white men toollice. From this it would appear that it is the President’s purpose to keep the blacks in the background if possible, with the hope that the whites will come to the support of his administration aud eventually connect themselves with the .Republican party. The President hopes, it is said, that the Blair hill will be received very generally witlwfavbr by the whites, because it will take from them some of the burden of educating the blacks, and he expects that it will he so satisfactory to the blacks that they will not grumble at not receiving any of the spoils, hut will he content to wait until they are better prepared by education to fill the official positions. If this is the President’s programme he will find some difficulty iu carrying it out. It is true he can appoint whom he pleases to fill the offices, and it must he admitted that* thus far, he has shown a preference for white men for official positions, but he will not find it an easy matter to get his party to agree upon the Blair hill. Whenever this hill was before congress there lias been a great deal of opposition to it among repub licans. Indeed, some of its strongest opponents have been republicans, and it is almost certain that in this congress there will be republicans who will op pose it vigorously. The blacks are not going to he satisfi ed with the Blair bill. They think they are the hulk of the Republican party in the south and they want whatever re wards the party has to distribute in the south. They are already very much dissatisfied with the President because of his indifference to their requests for recognition, and their dissatisfaction may take the shape of open hostility to the Republican party. While the Presi dent, therefore, may gain a few white voters by his policy, he will run the risk of losing the hulk of the blacks. Of course before the influence of the Blair hill can he felt it must become a aw. The prospect that this eongress will pas3 it is not a very promising one. It is not as popular in the south as it was a few years ago, though if it were am ended in some important particulars it might command the support of a major ity of the southern congressmen. Doubtless the President would like to have the credit or breaking the solid south. If he could devise some means of carrying three or four of the southern states for his party he would so strength en himself politically to he pretty certain of a renomination. The only evidence there is however, that he has a southern policy is his recognization of the movement to build up a white Republican party in the south. In the face of the assertion that lie would have no policy specially applicable to any particular section, something more is needed to unstify a belief that he has a a poliey for the South. GEORGIA MELONS, The First Shipment Over the Covington and Macon Road. Mr. A. G. Graig, general freight and passenger agent of the C. & M. road, tells us that the first shipment of melons, destined for Boston, passed over his road yesterday. This shipment is from Valdosta.

Every one in Athens knows this beau tiful place, and indeed almost every one who has ever been to Athens has seen it, for it is on the most attractive street in our town. All are familiar with the splendid two story residence set hack from the road and led up to by means of a beautiful drive which winds through the finest meadow in the State of Georgia. This place is in every way the most desirable place in Ga., and indeed there are few places in the south which can equal it. In the first place it is in Clarke coun ty, and thus the wealth of the place is insured. It is just inside of the cor porate limits of the town, and thus com bines all the advantages of both town and country. It contains 110 acres of land affording the best farming land and pasturage in the county. On it is built the handsomest residence in Ath ens, with every modern convenience, while splendid out houses and stables are at a convenient distance from the dwelling. There is literally every thing to make the place valuable and desirable. This place is to be sold, aud it will certainly be to the advantage of every one, who has the least idea of investing iu real estate to examine it. Dr. Carl ton will sell it either as a whole or di vided up into lots. For further partic ulars address Dr. H. H. Carleton, Ath ens, Ga. A Tip for those Interested In Cotton. Mr. J. C.
