THE BANNER, ATHENS, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 3, 1S89
WE LL HAVE THE FAIR.
AND THE
BEST EVER HELD
ATHENS.
IN
Every Snrro nd : ng Favorable Fcra Great
Show—The b. i-chants of Athens
United For 1 --The Farmers Will
Enter With Enthusiasm—The
fair Will be the Completest
of Them All.
A EXCITING TIME.
The Northeast Georgia Fair is inevi
table. *
There hais not been as much fuss
made about the preparation of it as lias
been usual, but it will come off just the
same, and will be the best fair ever
given In Athens.
Why should it not be so?
The merchants of Athens are solid for
it, and will aid in every way possible
to make it as good a show as the Asso
ciation lias ever made it, and moreover
they are better prepared this year than
ever before to give as good exhibits of
their varied lines of merchandise as any
city the size of Athens in the South.
They have all signified their willing
ness to enter in the work of giving a
regular repetition of the Northeast
Georgia Fair this fall, and this suffi
cient to guarantee the success of the
Fair.
Mr. W. S. Holman, President of the
Association,is in fora rousing big show,
and says there cau be no doubt of the
success of it, if the work of preparation
will be taken up at once and pushed
through.
He says that there is no reason v. liy it
can’t be made tho gieatest exhibit «<f
its kind in every respect ever given by
the Association. The preset t year has
been the most propitious the farmers
have seen for many a day, and they will
he better prepared than ever to make
the agricultural and stock features of
the Fair the success they ought to he.
The crops are large and in a splendid
condition, promising the most abun
dant yield that this section of Georgia
has almost ever experienced. It is a
year of plenty in the land, and every
thing that possibly could promote the
interest of the Fair and make it a suc
cess is surrounding us.
The farmers of Northeast Georgia are
highly in favor of having the Fair this
fall, and say they are anxious to show
specimens of the best crop tiie land of
Georgia can produce. They are in a
spirit of rejoicing and will enter the
Fair for all their efforts are worth, to
make it what it ought to he, a genial re
union of farmers, cattle raisers, stock
men, mechanics, and every class of men
that are building up Northeast Geor giti
into one of the most prosperous sec
tions of country in the Sunny South
land.
The Banner editor in conversation
with Mr. E. G. Harris, of the street rail
road, learned that he was heartily in
favor of giving the Fair, and said the
company would do as much as any
other party toward making it a success.
He said that lie would run a regular and
quick schedule to the Fair Grounds and
would see that the crowds were accom
modated with rapid transportation to
aiul from the gates of the Fair. lie
also stated that he would give as much
money to the Fair as any one, and was
highly in favor of holding it by all
means. Mr. Harris is an enterprising
man and his assistance in the Fair will
he ol much value and effect.
The Banner enters the list and will
do all in its power to make the North
east Georgia Fair a success. Wc see no
reason why it cannot he held even by
tarting this late in the day to prepare
fordt. We are highly in favor of hav
ing it, and if the proper steps are taken
at once and pushed through we predict
one of the most thorough exhibitions
of the agricultural resources, the mine
ral researches, anil the general develop
ments of this section of the State ever
known.
We believe that hv giving it iminedi-
a ely after the Piedmont Expo- ition in
Atlanta, it will attract many of the dis
plays there, and will have all the racing
that were given at that Exposition.
We think that the Piedmont show so
far from distracting from our Fair or
conflicting with it, can be made to aid
it.
The fact is, everybody is in for the
Fair, and it will be given, and will be
the best ever given in Athens.
Now, let the move proceed.
The LeConte Pear.
Mr. Pittman showed The Banner ed
itor this week, as large and line a Le
Conte pear as we have ever seen in
South Georgia. It came from Mr. Pitt
man’s nursery, and he tells us that his
trees bore a a large crop of this val
uable fruit the present season. This
clearly demonstrates that the country
around is a* well adapted to the pro
duction of this pear as the lower por
tion of this state and our citizens should
go largely into this business, a LeConte
pear orchard is worth more than any
orange grove in Florida.

NATURAL GAS.
DOES IT EXIST IN THE
CITY.
CLASSIC
Th9 Story of an Old Well Started on
Campus—Enough Gas Found to
Hake a Flow.
the
The father of Mr. John Bird, a well
known citizen of Athens, was by trade
a well digger, and was remarkable in
his day and generation for striking
water.
Yesterday liis son John gave The
Banner the following story, that is
worth investigating:
“I have always believed that there is
a deposit of natural gas in the incorpo
rate limits of Athens, and since reading
of the Dalton discovery are more con
vinced than ever. We am about the
right distance below the coal fields for
gas to form, and there is no reason it
cannot be found here. There is scarcely
a well sunk in Athens but that more or
less gas is discovered in it, and may
have to be filled up again on this ac
count. I know to my personal knowl
edge that there is gas in the college
campus, on the hill opposite Mr. Emo
ry Anderson’s. Years ago my father
was employed to sink a well there, and
the farther he went the stronger flow of
gas he struck. After penetrating the
earth for some distance he had to be
drawn from the shaft to keep from being
suffocated. A wad of paper was lighted
and thrown into the well, when to the
surprise of the bystanders, instead of
being smothered out as is usual when
there is only a small quantity of gas,
the fire caught the gas that flowed into
the well, and broke into a bright blaze
that continued to burn for some time
illuminating the entire shaft. There
must have been an unusually large
quantity of gas in the shaft for it to
have'caught and burned so brightly.
Of course it would have entered the
well after this surprising discovery,and
it was filled up again. This was before
the discovery of natural gas as fuel and
but little attention was paid to the mat
ter, only the old well diggers discussed
the matter as something almost impos
sible. Now 1 contend that if by sinking
a hole in the earth such a short distance
enough natural gas was discovered to ig
nite a blaze, what might we discovered
by boring into the bowels of the earth,
as it were? I am firmly convinced that
if a well was drilled at that spot to the
depth usually reached to procure gas in
paying quantities that enough-would be
found to supply a dozen cities the size
of Athens.”
This stateuent from Mr. Bird is worth
investigating. It will he remembered
that iu boreing a well on the Dorsey
several years ago the water rose about
to its top, but tasted and smelt so
strouly of gas that even stock, wouhlu’t
touch it. This, taken, in connect Lou
with Mr. Bird’s statement,clearly shows
that there is an unusually large jj^posit
of natural gas beneathihe earth’s crust
in our city, and who knows but what it
may be developed into a gold mine for
our people. A gas well in our ur.dst
would be worth more to the place than a
dozen new railroads, for manufactories
could tfien he operated at a nominal
cost. We would like to have some sci-.
enlist investigate this matter.
HERE’S A CAPTAIN KIDD STORY.
Mysterious Strangers Carry off Treasure
from a Connecticut Graveyard.
Special t j the Banner.
Stratford, Conn., Aug. 27.—Ever
since the recent heavy rains worked
deep gullies in the old roads in vicinity
of Lordships Farm in this town and a
number of gold coins of ancient date
were found, there has been great
excitement over what is supposed to he
a clue to Capt. Kidd’s buried treasures.
Searching parties have been organized
and all the old stories relative to the
hiding place of tlie wealth of the bold
buccaneer have been revived and have
become the chief topic of conversation.
The story that the old Johnson vault in
the Episcopal burying ground near the
village was made the receptacle of vast
treasures on the return of Kidd from
one of his expeditions seemed to be the
piost probable, and the strange perfor
mances which have taken place there
for a few nights hack strengthened the
belief of a majority of the villagers
that a search is being carried on*. if re
ally the treasure ‘has not been found
and carried away.
A few nights ago a cab was seen to
drive up to the gateway of the cemetery
about midnight, and two men left it
and went into the yard. They returned
in about an hour and drove away, No
importance was attached to this- inci
dent, hut when the same thing was re
peated the next night, and it became
known, the town was all excitement.
Rumors of body snatching and of the
its reuiov-
and fast.
The cemetery was carefully searched,,
the old vault being the thing of partic
ular interest. Nothing was discovered
to verify the supicions, and it was de
termined to form a vigilance committee
and lie in wait to solve the mystery.
The next night found twenty-five
meu waiting for the mysterious cab and
its-occupants to appear. At the same
hour up it drove and two men entered
thocemetery and were lost to view
among the trees. Not a man in the
twenty-five lying concealed in the bush
es-dared to move, and in a. short time
the two men, possibly laden down with
gold and jewels, emerged from the cem
etery and entered the call. Tlujdriver,
who all this time had sat upon the box
as-motionless as the marble post at the
entrance of the cemetery,, whipped up
Stis horses and disappeared in the dark
ness.
The next night faesli, recruits were
added to tlie party, but the cab and its
mysterious occupants- did not put in ap
pearance.
A search through the cemetery failed
C6 show any signs olAthe visit. Tile
rusty fastenings of tlie old .Johnson
vault were in ahe s:une position they
had been for oxer 200 years.
There is strong belief among the older
inhabitants that the treasure has actu
ally been found and carried away in
tlie cab.

Atlanta, Ga., August, 26.—Cofottel
Gus Edwards,who won fifteen thousand
dollars iu the Louisiany lottery, is-yust
back from a trip to New York.
Colonel Edwards was seen by a- re
porter this morning and asked about
the trip.
“You ought to have seen how a pair
of sharpers in New York tried to take
mein,” continued Colonel Edwaido.
“You know I just liked to walk myself
to death, and out day while I was-
tramping around, a smart looking
yo«ng man rushed up, and grabbing my
lia>ml, said: ‘Why, Col. Edwards, old
fellow, how do you do?’ I said I was
well, and the smart young fellow kept
pumping my arm and said : ‘My name
is Hemphill, and lam a eourin to Bill
Hemphill in Atlanta. I work- in the-
ticket scalper’s office. Come and go
with me.’ I went along, hut I kept
the earner of my left eye on the fellow.
Presently we came to a small office on
the- Hast floor and Bill Hemphill’s al
leged! cousin showed me right along in
He began to ask me all about myself,
and family and while he was talking
A. BIG SIX-FOOT FELLOW CAME IN
and pulling out a roll of greenback,
slapped it down on the counter and:
said:. ‘Give me a ticket to Omaha. L
can’it mad and I’ve got more money
than brains, snd 1 don’t care who
knows it. Can any of you gentlemen,
tell me where l can find a bauk to put
my money in ?’ Then he saw me and
he slapped me on the back and asked
me it 1 had auy money. 1 said I didn’t
have but a quarter with me. but had
two or three hundred dollars in my
boardinghouse. ‘I bet you ain’t got
a cent,’ said the big fellow. But 1
wouldn’t bet. Then lie counted out
one hundred and fifty dollars and plac
ing it iu an envelope gave it to ‘Bill
Hemphill's cousin,’ and said : ‘Here,
young, man, take this money and if this
old man can show up three hundred
dollars in an hour give him the-pack
age.’
“The young man whispered.to me to
go off and get three bundled, dollars,
and he would turn over the- package
to me. I left, telling him I. would he
back in half an hour. I guess- they are
waiting for me yet.”

from the State University at Athens, in
many years, is to-day the inmate of a

Milledgeville.
Arthur Payne is the unfortunate
young man referred to, His homo is
in Catoosa county, near Ringgold.
On returning home from college Mr.
Payne located on the old plantation,

ral months. Coming home after a day’s
exposure in the sun, he used to sit down
at night and read as zealously and as
studiously as when in college. He was
also devotedly attached to a Catoosa
county hello. The supposition is that
there has been some trouble over his
love affair, and as a result he lost his
mind.
For two days and nights he was de
tained under a careful guard in Ring
gold, aud he made the night hideous
with his cries for help and pity.

The Bride, in Men’s Clothing, with
her Husband Coming to Town.
Denver, Col., Aqg. 27.—Several
months ago Charles Fish of San Fran
cisco, a clerk, while attempting to
board a ferry boat, fell over ropes into
the arms of Miss Mary Rathburue,
daugtherof a retired merchant of San
Francisco. A few nights afterward
they met at a social party, and from
that time on a* friendship sprung up,
and finally they were engaged. Find
ing that the girl’s parents were oppos
ed to the match, the pair eloped, and'
were married in Sacramento.
The young man having only $33, told
his wife if they could manage to reach
New York they would be all right, as
he had wealthy relatives there. This
{ iroved satisfactory. The wife adorned
lerself in men’s clothing attire, and
they started for the East. From Sacra
mento they beat their way over the
Central Pacific Railroad by riding on
freight trains and on the trucks of pas
senger coaches. A week ago they
arrived at Ogden, and desiring to see
some Colorade scenery they started for
the Rio Grande.
After having been put off a half dozen
trains the couple leached Denver yes
terday morning. As it happened, the
Union Pacific ran a. Grand Army ex
cursion traqj out last night, and the
couple managed to go on the train as
porters. To-night they will reach
Omaha, and probably the pair will get
through to Chicago, reaching New
York next month. The girl is very
pretty, scarcely 19, while her husban
is 22.
