THE BANNER, ATHENS. GEORGIA JUNE 18, 1889. OUR CITY’S FUTURE. ATHENS FIVE YEARS FROM NOW— PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE. The Reasons Why These Predictions are Made. Opinions or Leading Busi ness Men—Natural Advantages of Our Town and Section- Increase of Manu factories—Our Destiny. Have we any right to make predic tions for the future of our town? The gift of prophecy is no longer the heri tage of man, but the powers of discern ment and judgement are still his. We look at the growth of otlier'towns, we exanine into the causes of their growth, we compare their natural and -artificial advantages with our own and having considered it all, we draw' our conclusions, and those conclusions jus tify the prediction that no tow'n in our State will make more steady or sub stantial progress than will the town of Athens. Rooking into the future not more than five years distant, we seem to see crowds of passengers arriving daily in our midst, coming from all directions by way of our live or six railroads all running into our town. These stran gers alight from the incoming trains, and stretch themselves as they walk the platform of a great union depot into the carshed of which all trains run. Our strangers then hail hacks rnd omnibuses, and are whirled through brilliantly lighted, macada mized streets to a palatial hotel whose fifth or sixth story looks down with mild contempt upon all. lesser, meaner buildings. The new arrivals finu that this great hotel is completer in every particular, and they learn by inquiry that ic is the property of a joint stock company, whose roll contains the names of all the public spirited men of Athens. If any one of these new' arrivals be of an in quiring turn of mind, he will learn that the members of this stock company, are wise and all satisfied that abetter investment was never entered into by them than this new hotel. Walking out on the streets, he will see on every side splendid stone and iron front store houses and offices. If he walks into the lower part of our city, he will see great ware-houses, factories, railroad shops and machine .works. Going through the resident portion of the town, he w r ill see the handsomest dwelling liousce in the State besides innumerable colleges and quiet houses. Taking the dummy line he will be hurried out to a park as beautiful as any in the South, where everything lias been done for our com fort and pleasure. If he will look closely into the busi ness affairs of our city he will find that it is one of the greatest cotton markets in the state, and, what is even better, that a great proportion of this cotton is not exported, but is used in the making cf cloths in our own factories, which will be numbered among the largest and most complete south of the line. He will find a city with from 20,000 to 25,- 000 inhabitants, a thrifty, pushing, en ergetic and united people with men at the lead who are fully capable of man aging the affairs of a great aud growing people. He will find that the capitalists of 1 Athens ye not men who have locked their money up in iron hound safes, but are wide awake, progressive inen, who know' that the only real value of money is in its use. This is what the “stranger W'ithin our gates” will find in five years from now'. The pictures we have drawn is not an idk dream of the imagination—it is a prophecy, a prophecy as true as the words of a seer. And the fulfillment of the prophecy does not require the work ing of miracles; it will he a miraele if they do not prove true, for forces have been set in operation which must bring about such results. The great raiiroad movement to which we have referred on Several occasions is the first item iu our list of reasons for these predictions. Then, as w'e all well knoiv, we'are the center of a great farming region which has already made our town one of the greatest cotton mar kets in the state, and new regions will be opened np by tbe new railroads which will be built. We are certain to have new factories. A gentleman who is in a position to know' and who lias been'^carrying on an ' extended corres pondence with some northern firms, in formed us a day or two ago that our manufacturing capacity will double it self in the next three or four years. The watersaround Athens arc not naviga ble, but they afford water power as good as can be found anywhere in our state. The South Oconee river is one .enor mous mill race, affording sufficient pow er to run any kind of machinery. In addition to this there is that which .Is even more hopeful, namely, the fact that our owm people are waking up to the fact that their destiny is a great one and that it rests in their own hands. When a people really learns this they are on the high road to success. Our men are enthusiastic and feel that we have m store many good things,and the only thing needed to set them to work is concerted action with a cool-headed leader. For these two things The Bax- -xer is anxiously pleading. As to our predictions-of Athens’ great growth in point of population, we simply state that a thriving town means a town whose population is increasing. As soon as outsiders see that we are growing outsiders are coming to us. Besides this we are as certain to have great rail road shops as we are to have railroads. These, together with the new. factories bring workmen, workmen bring their jatnilies, families briug trade, and trade brings growth. Col. T. W. Kucker remart ed yester day that he knows that in the course of the next five years theie will be resi dences in Athens as fine as can be seen anywhere iu the state. The dummy line will be started, the park laid out, the streets improved, and the beauty as well as the success of our town is as sured. Some who read this article may smile and regard it as a day dream, but if they will wait five years they wil^find it the most realistic dream of which they have have ever heard. CUTTING SCRAPE, He Goes to Cut his Wheat, Is Pfohibited and Murderously Stabbed, Homeb, Jvint, 17.—Editor Banner: Quite a cutting affray took place in this county last Wednesday. Mack Whitfield went-to work on the farm of Beke.r and Robt. Moss last spring. They sowed some wheat, Whit field was to receive liis share. Later the Moss bovs and Whitfield had a quarrel; Whitfield quit. In the mean time the Moss brothers told Whitfield that he could have his wheat. Last Wednesday he went to cut it. The Moss boys and a negro they had hired named Grant, came upon him in the field. They forbade him to cut the wheat. Words ensued. They tried to close in on Whitfield, but for a while, he kept them at bay. Finally Baker Moss rau around and caught Whitfield. At once the negro, Grant, ran to Moss’ assistance. They held Whitfield, while Kobt. Moss, Baker’s brother, and only fourteen years old, came up behind Whitfield and stabbed him in the hack' three times, with a knife. The parties left him and he fell. But lie managed ts rise to his feet, and. went staggering out of the field; but from loss of blood, he became weak, and fell by tbe road side, where he was found, and taken to his home. At last accounts his physicians had little hope for him. This section is somewhat stirred*up over the matter. At last hearing no arrests had been made. Mack Whitfield is said tohave been a very inoffensi ve man. He has a host of relatives and friends, who, doubtless, wil, see to it that the parties are fairlv and severely dealt with by the law.

Robertson, our Marble and Granite Merchant, says our people make a great mistake in purchasing Marble or Granite Monuments from drummers or traveling agents, with the impression th9t they are doing better than they can here in Athens, Ga. Mr. Robertson says he keeps up with all the new and latest Designs in the Monument business, and will guarantee that his prises are at least ten per cent, lower than any other Mar ble or Granite dealer in the United States; and our people will dfi much better to go and see Mr. Robertson at the Marble yard, when they want to purchase a Marble or Granite Monument, and he will guarantee first-class work at much lower prices than you can get from any other Marble or Granite Dealer in the United States. tf.
