THE BANNER, ATHENS, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 17, iSS*.
A SOLID PHALANX-
THE MERCHANTS ARE UNITED
THE ALLIANCE FAIR.
FOR
Nothing Remains But Fop the Alliance to
Take Hold—The Fair Can be the
Greatest Ever Held in Athens
—Let the Work Proceed,
On with the dance.
So say the merchants of Athens to the
farmers and their fair.
Every merchant and every business
man in Athens is heartily in sympa
thy with the Alliancemen in the
move of holding a fair this fall, and are
enthused at the idea of Athens having
the first and only Alliance Fair over
known.
A Banner reporter yesterday met
Capt. C. G. Talmadge and asked how he
thought the idea would take with the
merchants.
“ I can only answer for the firm of
Talmadge Bros.,” said he,“and can say
that we will surely be heard from at the
proper time and in the proper manner.
We tender our heartiest co-ope
ration to the Alliance, and will take an
.unusual interest in the Fair, because it
is their’s. We like the idea of ah Alli
ance Fair, and will encourage it in
every way possible. We will be repre
sented with the finest exhibit we ever
gave at the Fair Grounds, for we are
better able to do it this fall.”
The Banner reporter was satisfied
that the Alliancemen would meet strong
friends in the Talmadge Bros., and
with many such men as these on their
side the Fair would be pushed through
to a grand success.
While on- the streets we met Mr.
Moses Myers, who has never yet failed
to aid in any undertaking that was cal
culated to further the interests of Ath
ens and surrounding country.
“What say you of the Alliance Fair?’
asked the reporter.
“A good thing, sir,” he replied, and
one that demands the co-operation of
every business man in Athens. I am
in for it’s success as much as any mer
chant in the city. I have never yet failed
to give an exhibit at the fair,nor to help
the association as much as any one,and
I am more interested than ever, now
that the farmers have taken the matter
in hand. I.et the work proceed, and
you may find me ready for the racket at
any time.”
Mr. J. S. King, who is acknowledged
to be one of the most successful busi
ness men in Northeast Georgia, as well
as one of the most public spirited citi
zens of Athens, was next met by the
reporter.
“The Banner lias hit upon the
greatest idea yet,” said Mr. King, with
out waiting for a question from the re
porter. “The Alliance Fair is the very
thing for Athens this fall, and it is
bound to be a great success in every
respect. It places the fair in the hands
of the farmers, and there is the place
for it.
“The farmers can make a great thing
of it, and the Alliance will rue the day
it fails to take hold of the matter and
earry the plans out—yes, you can put
J. S. King & Co. down heartily in fa
vor of the Farmers’ Fair.”
Now, we take it that the assurances
from these merchants are an indication
of how the merchants and business men
of Athens stand on the question of the
Alliance Fair. They are representa-
tive business men of the city. All of
the merchants of Athens have never
been known to be found wanting in
anything which might redown
to the interest of their city,
and from what we have ascertained by
the above interviews,we are encouraged
in the belief that they stand in one solid
phalanx, ready to strike with the Alii-,
ance}» their efforts to hold a great Fair
this fall.
We $rp more plated than ever at the
prospects of the Fair, ap4 feel doubly
assured that it will be the gramlesf dis
play ever given here.
-The Alliance has C” l y to take bold
and they will have a clear way to the
greatest achjeyeinpnt of its kind CYCr
“Witnessed in Northeast Georgia. It
behooves them to hold the Fair. It
will advance their interests more and
give them more influence than'any thing
they could do. They could make it a
great re-union and study the interests
of their order by having the different
displays and the multitudes of Alliance
men who will visit here. They can
make money on the Fair, which can be
spent in a way to establish the organi
zation more substantially. In fact the
profit to the Alliance of such a Fair can
not be over estimated.
Now, let them take up the ball that
bas been started, and let the Alliance
add another proof that it is a power in
the land*

The Augusta and Chattanooga to be Built
Beyond Doubt—What the President
Says—The G„ C. & N. Pro
gressing Rapidly.
The Augusta and Chattanooga rail
road is no longer a myth. It is not re
garded so by tiie President of the road,
nor by the people of either Chattaiu o-
gaov Augusta.
A Banner reporter in conversation
with Col. W. H. Moore, of the Augusta
Evening News learne 1, that the road
has never been given up by the Augus
ta people and that the quietude about
its .being built was not due to a lack of
interest in that city. lie said that the
road was regarded a certainty by the
men of Augusta who were in a position
to know its situation. That the road will
be built is further shown by the follow
ing news note clipped from the Chatta
nooga Times:
Mr. W. E. Baskette, president of the
Augusta and Chattanooga railroad, was
found at the Third National bank. IIis
first words were: “The road will be
built.” In subsequent conversation he
said: “The survey and estimates of
construction have been made. The cost
is, to build and equip, $15,000 per mile.
The lenght of the road is 250 miles. It
has three important connections. At
Gainesville it connects with the Rich
mond and Danville road; at Athens
with the Macon and Coving road. It
also connects with the Roanoke and Sea
Coast road, placing Chattanooga fifty
miles nearer the sea coast than at pres
ent. This road, when ruMiiilg, will
place Chattanooga on the same basis as
to freights as Cincinnati under the com
merce law. Negotiations are now being
had with Eastern capitalists who are
fully able to meet the requirements of
the enterprise. Our road runs through

DID YOU KNOW IT?
Did you know catarrh is a blood disease? Well it
almost invariably is, and frequently is a symptom
of inherited blood poison. The tendency to catarrl
may lay dormant in the system half a man’s lifetime
and then suddenly become active and the disease
at once severe and troublesome.
N. C. Edwards, Lampassas Springs, Texas
writes: “For over four years I have been a great
sufferer from a terrible form of Nasal Catarrh. I was
greatly annoyed with aconstant roaring in my bead
and my hearing became very much impaired.
The discharge from my nose was profuse and
very offensive, and my general health
CATARRH impaired. I tried most all prominent
physicians, but they did not cure me,
and I used various advertised preparations without
benefit

Bro, and purchased B. B. B., and to my utter
astonishment and satisfaction, the use of ten bot
tles has restored my general health, stopped the

nasal catarrh, and I am proud to recommend a blood
