THE BANNER ATHENS, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 10, 1889 —— THE WORK MOVING ON And the G., CAN. Rapidly Being Pushed Through to Aihens—One Thousand Hands at Work on the Grad'n ■Englnet r j Surveying Be tween Athens and Sa va. hah River Our new railroa I is now being rap idly surveyed and graded from Chester, S. C , to Athens. The division betwen Chester and Savannah river has already been sur veyed and more than a thousand hands nre busy with the grading. The corps of engineers have crossed the river and are surveying the line through Elbert counter, on to Athens. They will soon reach our city and the grading force will be increased in the near future to push the road hurriedly to our city. Mr. A. L. Hull informed a Banner reporter j esterday that the work was progressing very satisfactorily in Caro lina and that tlie grading i3 being car ried on rapidly. T ie G., C. & X., will soon reach Ath ens and will be one our best roads. the sTvannah river. What Some “Up County Editors” Say on the Subject, The people of the upper Savannah sec tion have suffered a great injustice for yearson account ol t is Augusta dam and we hope they will be compelled to open a good and sufficient way for fish to pass up the river. An effort ha's been made before to get the Legislature to do something in re gard to this matter, but without succes. Editor Gantt, of the Athens Banner, seems to be the man who put this move ment on foot by hunting up this old treaty, which is about one hundred years old, and can be found in ilarbury aiio Cr, uv fqrd : M digest, dated 1809. The shad that wouia be caught in the river above Augusta would be worth many thousands of dollars to the people every year, and right and justice demands that the river be opened independent of any treaty obligations. The^nien who suececd in having it done will be entitled to the lasting obligations of a larger portion of the citizens of both Georgia and South Carolina.—Elberton Gazette. A Laughable Hoax. Uncle Johnnie Hillistein, well known on the streets of Athens was on a grand dike yesterday. Some jv«-B about to play him a hoax by marrying iiimofftoa youth dressed in woman’s attire, and told him that his beautiful bride would arrive on the C. & M. train —hence Uncle Johnnie’s dike. When he learned that his affections bad been trifled with, and that no bride would com >, be immediately doffed his dudish dress and put on liis every day clothes, with many wrathful ejacula tions to those who had played him such A Mad Dog. On Tuesday last a dog on the lot of Misses Kidd, dressmakers on Clayton street, began to excite suspicious by his actions. The dog was given strych nine, and at once began to show further signs of hydrophobia. Its mouth frothed and its eyes became swollen as though they would burst. The dog was kept confined until it died, and was examined immediately and found to be as stiff as a poker, which is a final proof of its having had hydrophobia. No other mad dog has been heard of in Athens very lately, but there may be more. All disorders caused by a bilious state of the system can" be cured by using Garter’s Little Liver Pills.

D- Wagoner, of Winterville, after a long attack of fever, died night before last in that placed The death of this promising young man sends a gloom over the hearts of many admiring friends in Athens. He wa3 well known here, and gradn- atod from the University with the class of’85. He has since that time completed a coarse of medicine, and had begun to win an enviable reputation in the pro fession. He lias been lingering for some time with fever at the bouse of Dr. Carter in Wintervilie, where he died, surrounded by relatives and friends. Beside the death bed of the young man was one, who, perhaps, more than all the rest felt the heavy hand of grief. It was Miss Elia Lassiter,whose home is on Marietta street in Atlanta. She was the betrothed wife of the deceased, having given to him the promise of her hand nine months ago. Their marriage had been fixed to take place very soon, and when she received the sad intelli gence that his life was fast ebbing away, she hastened to his bedside to make good her promise, even at the moment of the last extreme. She came for the purpose of having the marriage per formed even on his death bed, but she arrived just in time to see him breathe his last before her wish could be com plied with. She expressed her willing ness to marry him even then, and was much grieved at the sorrowful situa tion. It was indeed a solemn blow to her who had loved him so passionately. The remains of Dr. Wagoner were in terred in the burial grounds of the fam ily in Winterville yesterday afternoon iu the presence of scores of friends and relatives. Rev. Mr. Rivers preached the fune ral sermon and conducted the burial services. Dr. Wagoner was a devout Christian and a thoroughly pious young man. While in Athens attending the Uni versity he was a leader in the college prayer meetings and was a model young gentleman and a hard student.

THE GE0RCIA MIDLAND TO BE EXTENDED FROM McDOUOUGH TO ATHENS, Thus Giving a Great Through Line from the Northeast to the Southwest—The Coal Beds of Alabama thrown Open at our Gates. Athens lias still another railroad. It is a ceitainty, too, beyond all doubt. The news comes from headquarters that the Georgia Midland railroad will be extended as was originally intended from McDoroiigh to Athens. A gentleman, who has just returned from New York and the North says that while he was there he bad a conversation with a gentleman asso ciated with the firm of Brown Bros., the noted bankers of Baltimore. This gentleman told him that the ar rangements are now being made to ex tend the Georgia Midland to Athens as mentioned, and that the matter would be taken up at once. He said there is no further doubt about the extension being perfected and the people of Ath ens and the section along the line may- count on it as already obtained. These are glad tidings to Athens and this section of the State. The good to be obtained from this line cannot at all be estimated. It will connect with the G ., C. & N* at Athens, and open up the coal beds of Alabama with almost direct air line. It will also aftord further connection with the great ag ricultural regions of Mississippi and Louisiana and place our city iu direct communication with the great metro politan cities of the Southwest. It will, in fact, connect the North eastern markets with the Southwes tern, and Athens will be the center point. It is but an additional evidence that Athens is to become the greatest railroad town in the Gulf States. We cannot over-estimate the possi bilities of Athens. The Georgia Mid land will be one of the most active fac tors in the development of our prosper- only by the members of his club, but by all the students.
