One of the latest communications re

Minister Fred. Grant, dated Aug. 8,
1888. It is a long article from the
Vienna Fremdenblatt, the organ of the
minister of foreign affairs of Austria-
Hungary. It says:
‘•The United States government has

Volcano of Coltma In a State
Kruptlon—Robbed By Tramp**
City or Mexico, Sept. 25.—Steven
Eaton, an American railroad contractor
now in this city from Colima, has been
an eye witness of the late eruption of
the voloano of Colima, which is thirty
miles north of the city of the same
name. This volcano has its crater at
an elevation of 12,000 feet above the
sea level, and is very active, intermit-
tantlv throwing up a column of smoke
and red hot ashes hundreds of jtoet in
the air. ; These spasmotic eruptions oc
cur about ten or twelve times a day
and are followed by reports similar to
the discharge of artillery. A few days
before the earthquake last mouth the
volcano vomited forth a dense black
smoke that hung like a pall over the
country for mills around. This phe
nomena lasted for several days, and was
accompanied at intervals by showers oi
red hot ashes, which descended upon
its side. It is not known whether oi
not any lava is being thrown out, as the
red hot ashes makes investigation im
possible. At night the sudden erup
tions present the appearance offire-
woricsof ai' gigantic character. These
sudden spurts illuminate the country
for miles around, and the spectacle is a
grand one.
Depredation* of Tramps.
George Carlyle, an American locomo

The Vienna paper goes on to say that

twenty-five years ago, a prince of the

walls of Miramar, and a few days later
set sail from Trieste to come over and
take possession by the aid of Napoleon’s

THE NEWJFOUNDRY- [KUKDEKED NEIGHBOR’S BABY-
Every day it seems that Athens gets
new industry of some kind.
Among tiie late achievements that
have been obtained none stand out so
prominently as does the new foundry.
It is just what Athens has needed all
along for the promotion of her differ
ent industries. There is not a completer
foundry in the South than the one al
ready in operation in Athens, but with
the new impetus that everything has
lately token oh it requires laiger faeili
ties in this line to supply the demand
in -this business.
With a recognition of this faet the
folowing enterprising gentlemen have
organized themselves into a strong and
substantial company for the purpose of
establishing and carrying on a new
foundry in Athens:
Messrs. J. M. Smith, B. B. Williams,
George Dudley Thomas, John W. Hin
ton, John R. White and R. H. Reaves,
together with such others as they may
hereafter see fit to associate with them.
It is the purpose of these gentlemen
:o establish |as soon as practicable
borough and complete foundry for the
manufacture of machinery, moulding
iron, making tools and agricultural im
plements and ^various other persuits
•omiuon to the best and completest
foundries in the land. They will also
devote attention to woodwork and will
iiave a general line of mechanical pur
suits.
The petition for corporation has al
ready been published and a capital
stock of twenty-five thousand dollars
»ias been subscribed and the necessary
ten per cent, already paid in for opera
tion. The petition applies for power
to raise the capital stock to one hundred
thousand dollars at-will.
This is a great enterprise for Athens
and one that will do as much for the
city in the way of building it up mate
rially as any other industry recently
established.
As Soon as the Body Is Found Mr. and
Mrs. Edwards Will Be Dynclf
Special to The Banner. T . . . .
Eldorado, Kan., Sept.—24 A man
and woman named Edwards, who were
working at a farmhouse near Rosalie,
this countyi were asked by Mrs. Bloom,
a neighbor, to look out for the latter’s
baby while the mother made a call.
When Mrs. Bloom returned the baby
was missing, and the Edwards declared
that they knew nothing of its where
abouts.
Mrs. Edwards’ actions aroused sus
picion,and she was finally charged with
haying murdered the child. She indign
antly denied the charge, and the search
was continued. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer
were satisfied in their minds that Mrs.
Edwards had made away with it, and to
test their suspicions they proposed to
extract a confession from her. Finally
she was told that she was to be hanged
and had better confess the crime.

Many passers by have stopped to see
the beautiful display of paintings and

many of the finest exhibitions of art
work in this country and her paintings

A drunken negro named Nixon ran

The fact that a certain newspaper has
fearfully predicted that the directors
will not have sufficient time to get up
the Fair-like anything of a suecess has
but little weight on this body of live and
energetic men, who have pledged their
money and labor to the success of their
charge.
These gentlemen know no such word
as fail, and the fact that they have
boldly- taken hold of the Fair is a suffi
cient guarantee to every citizen of
Athens and this section of the State
that it will be an unbounded success.
Thefact that the directors have the
means and energy to push the matter
through is evidenced by the success of
undertakings in the past, aud no one
dares to doubt that the Nbrtlieast
Georgia Fair this year will be the
grandest show ever given in this section
of the State.
There yet is left two months time to
work up a fair, and already much of the
work has been completed. Tiie circu
lars and premium lists have been ar
ranged and are being issued from the
Banner’s Job office in rapid succession
daily. The whole country will be
flooded with these so soon as they are
finished, and the interest of the Fair
will be worked up most thoroughly in
every section. The arrangements for a
most attractive program each day have
been perfected and the different amuse
ments and various exhibits of eery kind
will successfully vie with any ever dis
played on the grounds of the Northeast
Georgia Fair Association. All of this
has been done, and more. The direc
tors are exerting themselves in their ef
forts to make every feature of the Fair
’prri eer in *c>rrr rerptc^.— Ot>nMmtmco-
tion with racing men of the country has
warranted as fine racing at our fair as
has ever yet been seen in Georgia, and
the athletic sports and base ball games
will be finer than were ever witnessed
in this section of the country.
It is now the intention of the direct
ors to get two of the finest baseball
teams in the South to cross bats during
the Fair. A company has been organ
ized to collect some of the finest players
in the United States,and for this purpose
a handsome sum of money has been
made up. They will select renowned

BRUNSWICO COLLECTOB.
The Times Says that Pledger Will be
Appointed and He is a Marked
Negro.
Special to the Banner.
Atlanta, ^Ga. September 24.—Your
correspondent got hold of an interesting
bit of news for Brunswick to doy.J
Among the Republicans here it is
positively asserted that W. A Pledger,
negro, will succeed Hon. J. E. Dart as
collector of your port. *
Pledger claims that he has President
Harrison’s unqualified promise to ap
point him.
AJfew days ago Pledger approached a
well known citizen of Bruuswick and
asked him if he thought any of the dep
uties in the Brunswick custom house
would consent to serve under him. He
was emphatically lintormed that none
of them would do so.
Pledger, it will be remembered, is the
negro who wants a convention of his
race in Atlanta immediately after the
Piedmont Exposition. His schemes
does not take except with the politico-
preachers of his race, who, by the way,
are the worst sort of fire brands.
If Pledger is 'appointed collector of
the port of Brunswick, it is not likely
that he will enjoy the discharge of his
peculiar duties. He is a marked man
in Georgia, and nothing that he can do
will ever relieve him from the burden
of being regarded by conservative peo
ple as a maker of mischief and a design
er of unholy plots against the peace of
the State.
The old veterans of Greene county
will meet at Siloam on the second Fri
day in October,
Fair
> There will be a very exciting Conte'S
of the University’s crack foot hall
teams, aud the college boys will
figure con spicuously in various athlet
ic sports. The prizes awarded will be
excellent and tempting ones, and the
interest in the athletic portion of the
Fair’s program will be exciting in the
extreme.
The various features of the Fair
cannot be given in detail here and now.
Suffice it to say that the directors are
busily engaged in the work of getting
out a program that will be amusing to
every one and equally profitable to all.
Witli trotting and running races, bicy
cle races, foot races, base ball, foot ball
and other athletic contests,. the amuse
ments will be complete, while the ex
hibits of merchants and the ladies’ de
partment iucluding their chrysanthe
mum display, and the farmers’ exnibit
of Georgia raised colts and stock, and
grandjmuster of Allianceraen, and their
displays—all will add together in one
vast array of fun, merriment, sight
seeing and instruction that will make
the Northeast Georgia fair what
the directors intend to make
it, and what their efforts will prove it,
an unqualified success in the fullest ac
ceptation of the term.
Too late to have the fair? Well,
hardly. Virtually the fair is ready to
open right now. The people are all
interested in it, and every class will be
represented on the grounds each day,
The exhibits will be on hand whenever
the grounds are opened to them and the
exercises will be whenever the di
rectors are ready for them. The ladies
are arranging their department in
fine shape and will make it one of the
greatest attractions of the Fair.
The fact is, the Fair is fast assuming
the proportions of a mammoth event.
Nothing will be left undone by the
wide-awake board of directors, and
there will be one continuous round of
pleasure and fun night and day. Man
ager Haselton, of the New Opera house
will have several fine plays on the hoards
during the Fair week. The authorities
will also arrange to have fire-works
during the week at night.
During the coming two months the
directors of the fair will get a lively
move on them, and will have every
thing in readiness for the opening.
