BANNER, OCTOBER 8, 38**.
KNOCKING OUT THE HIGH PRICED DRY GOODS
TRADE.
The disagreeable weather of last Monday was expected by me to
bring a dullness in my line of business, but agreeably
surprised it was the busiest of the year at
MAX JOSEPH’S GILT EDGE PALACE STORE. -
If I could induce the trade to drop into iny store last Monday it certainly shows
' the friendly relation the public has with ray house.
Most WonderM Above all My Expectations Has my Business Increased.
Three weeks ago when my Agents poured in one Invoice on another,
I was frightened.
IT WASN'T AT ALL NECESSARY
I could have disposed of double the amount of the extra bargains I offered.
Luckily today 5 Cases Arrived, and Just in the Nip of Time to
Make Announcement in this Issue.
Rain or shine, come out
Monday October 7th and
take away a portion of the
plum. From 7 to 12
o’clock.

cle of bargains.
You will declare for me the best ad
vertisement I can secure thro’ you on
this Monday’s special Saleday.
It became a solid fact, that my adver
tisement does draw the public to my
store. Why? It can he answered. The
people who have any regard for their
money, always find the goods as ad
vertised, and often when a larger quan
tity is on hand, than can be disposed of,
right there and then agreater reduction
is made even at a loss. I always con
sider the first loss the best, and never
grieve of what I ought to have done.

Max Joseph’s Gilt Edge Palace Store,
Competition see my victory. They at
tempted to imitate me, but where* are
they now. The pressure was too great
on them. Wiiat did they have to offer
you? Always the same thing. No new
inducements.
Regular bought gools,

At first they ? did catch some inocent
trade it lessened every week until now
where are they. Their advertisement
were like,
Clear boiling water that

perenaders from beneath

To make a practice of advertising we
must first, lay the foundation, that is,
seek for good=, such as are bargains.
On« man cannot be every where, then
appoint agents in large cities to buy and
ship constantly then advertise and Jet
the public know what you have to offer
then your system is com
plete
This is my way of doing business.
The old good Merchants on the face
of the Globe, knock oft' the dust from
your shoulder, decide one way or the
other. Do either. Conduct your business
on the old style and keep your old trade
Mr. and Mrs. Pay well

I tell you, the practise of catching

Speaks of Coming. The Fair Assu
ming Great Proportions.
The Athens Fair is getting or* a big
boom.
It is being regarded as a greatoccasion
by prominent folks, aud in fact by
everybody in the State.
The Banner editor recently had oc
casion to speak with Gov. Gordon in
regard to the Fair and he stated that
he was very desirous of attending, and
though most probably he would do so
Hon. >V. J. Northern, also said, it was
his intention to be present as well as
Mr. Livingston. It is certain that Mr.
Henry W. Grady will open . the Fair
with his matchless eloquence on No
vember 12th. Many other prominent
Georgians and statesmen will be pres
ent, and will be invited to speak from
time to time during the Fair week.
The Allianceinen will hold forth in
great shape and will have the greatest
muster of farmers that ever assembled
in Athens. They will be addressed by
their prominent leaders from all over
the country and will make their day
one of the greatest of the whole week.
The directors are in the meantime
working away as busily as bees in the
in the arrangement of the program and
are adding now attractions each day.
They will make military feature most
attractive and interesting and have
invited several companies to take part
in the prize drills. The base ball games
will be exciting and extremely amusing
to the crowds of spectators. Tha foot
ball games between the University’s
crack teams will afi'ord much fun, while
the balloon ascension will cap the cli
max in the way of amusements.
The 1 air will be one continuous four
days’ round of revelry and fun.

T IS the fashion
just D oif to say
that the Groat
Americau Desert is
a myth. Land
a gen ts send out
glowing circulars
and gorgeously col
ored maps on which
“Wheat Lands” in
big 1 e 11 er s are
spread all over half
a million square
miles of the wild
west, and one is al
most forced to be
lieve that nil the
early explorers were either untruthful or in
capable of judging of what their eyes saw.
Courteous reader, listen to the confession of
a man who believes in the Great American
Desert. I bare seen and suffered it. But
before the confession, a small concession is in
order.
The American desert, it is true, is not half
as big os meu thought it was iu 1850 and con
tains a few more oases, but all the same it Es
thers—a hard, objective reality. It is both
hard aud dry. A third of it is barren moun
tain, bare brown or gray rock. Another
third is plain, a mixture of sand, salt, soda,
dint and alkali. The remainder is incoherent
red earth, barren because of drought, but con
taining the elements of fertility and capable
of being made highly productive where abun
dance of water can be had for irrigation.
But it is largely a desert for want of heat,
for at least 300,000 square miles of the far
west lie a mile or more above the ocean’s
level, and consequently are reliable for few
crops except grass.
And on this level the changes are sudden
aud terrible, in Arizona I have seen corn
and other tender shoots literally frozen solid
in June. At Cheyenne I have seen a sheet of
ice an inch thick formed by hail in August.
In November I have seen whole herds of
stock dead iu a pile, frozen as they crowded
together, and Indians, who had been caught
ill a storm, getting into camp with fiugers
etiff and not sound nose enough left to blow.
When the Mormons settled at Salt Lake they
indulged the pleasing delusion that stock
could “live out all winter iu the valleys,” and
the first two winters they were there hap
pened to be the mildest ever known. The
third (1850-51)* was a crusher. Snow came
early and staid late. Everything froze that
was left out, and for three months at a time
distant settlements were isolated by the
snow r packs in the mountain passes.
GROVE OF THE UOLY TRINITY.
The pastures of tho far west are famous
because they are so big. When the “rage”
set in for ranching it was complacently cal
culated that lying just east of the Rocky
mountains was a range sorno 1,800 miles from
uorth to south and 250 from east to west;
425,000 square miles, 200,000,000 acres in round
numbers, which would fatten—well, I don’t
know how many cattle. A few years later
an interested public was astounded to learn
that the range was overstocked. How many
million sheep and cattle died during the hard
winters in which this information was ac
quired no one knows, but they do say that
Latham, of Laramie, one of the most elo
quent upholders of the “living-out-all-win
ter” theory, gathered his sad eyed and disap
pointed sheep round him and kept them alive
through the sleet storms by reading aloud his
glowing articles in eastern papers. A poem
was written about this touching fact, which
had quite a run, but as the author was one
of those whose sheep had succumbed, said
poem was somewhat in the minor key.
But this is a digression. I started to give
an account of a little ride of 900 miles 1 once
took across that part of the “area of corru
gation,” os Maj. Powell calls it, which lies be
tween the thirty-fifth and thirty-eighth par
allels. The scheme was to see what sort of a
country the then proposed thirty-fifth parallel
road was to run through and report the same
impartially to my employers, and If my horse
had not died, and my sight become impaired
by the alkali dust, and my gizzard been revo
lutionized by. the sandy and mineralized
water, I should have eventually have com
pleted the survey, for my heart was in the
job. But there are things of which a good
bite is as convincing as a full meal—Indian
turnip, for instance—and so I found it on the
desert.
From Vinita, L T., then the terminus of
the road, to. the eastern base of the mouu*
tains the country is that so often described
as “the plains.” I flanked most of it by going
around through Colorado. From Lts Vegas
to Santa Fe there are the usuhl plateaus,
canyons and mountain passes and from
Santa Fo to Fort Wingate there was a good
military road on which one could find drink
able water at least twice in a day’s ride. The
Mexicans west of the Rio Grande are very
much mixed, at least two-thirds Indian, 1
should say, and one-third Spanish, and the
names they give to springs, peaks and other
prominent objects are a fair index of the
woful want of harmony between their de
scription and the fact.
El Rio (“tho river”), iz ankle deep In June,
and El Rito (“little river”), is, perhaps, navi
gable for Bhingles in a wet season. “Big
springs” are so called because they send off a
little rill which does not d isappear in the
sand for half a mile or so, aud El Bosque del
Santo Trinidad (“Tho Grove of the Holy
Trinity”), consists of a dozen scrubby little
trees with a puddle in tho center, said puddle
diversified around the edges by the tracks of
Navajo goats and fringed by the skeletons of
dead mules. The some system runs through
all their nomenclature. At Albuquerque 1
was waited on by “Jesus” (they pronounce it
Hay 5oos), and lodged in a “palacio” of adobes
—that is, dried inud. The full English of tho
name of their capital city is “Holy Faith of
St Francis,” and a dirty little alkalied brook
is called the “River of Souls.” By tho same
process the Yankee John Boggs, after locat
ing in New Mexico and buying a rauche, be
comes Senor Juan de Palos, and Tim Mur-
phy, who married a wealthy Mexican lady,
signs his bank checks asTimotbeus Murfando.
It isn’t English, you know, but it is charac
teristically Mexican.
To Fort Wingate, nearly 200 miles west of
Santa Fe,and to Defiance, forty miles be
yond, the journey was comparatively easy,
and from the latter place I set out on June
18, on a horse, with a Navajo Indian for
guide aud servant on a donkey, for a' i 400 mile
tide. I can shut my eyes now and by the eye
of memory see that country; the miles on
miles of red rock, the wide waste of burning
sand, the narrow, rocky defiles, the dried mud
flats, the salt plains aud treeless, grassless
mesas.
We crpssed over some deserts on which sand
and alkali burned our horses’ feot We trav
ersed broad plateaus of bare sandstone with
here and there a green dell or wooded cove,
and rarely, very rarely, descended to the beds
of lakes long since dry, to find in the lowest de
pression small natural meadows or sullen,
pools bordered by a few sickly trees. It
seemed a land cursed of God anti forgotten of
civilized man, where only hunters and herds
men could wring a scant subsistence.
v. v
ON WHITE DESERT.
The land of the Navajos may be roughly
outlined as 300 miles in greatest length from
east to west and 150 from north to south,
and, including the Zunis and Moquis along
their southern border, there are perhaps
15,000 Indians in all that region. The Nava
jos are worthy of honorable respect as a peo
ple in whom hojje and a natural sense of
humor have triumphed over the most ad
verse circumstances. Their womeu are quite
industrious and the men <lo occasionally work
under extraordinary temptation. Their coun
tenances are more pleading than those of In
dians in general, and wit is not entirely lack
ing to them. Practical jokes occasionally
enliven the groups around the camp fire,
and, contrary to our ideas of Indian charac
ter, they laugh heartily at everything amus
ing. They have a theology, of course, aud
account for the origin of the world aud
things in general quite satisfactorily.
They believe that the first man was made
out of a turkey and the first women were
made out of fish, for which reason they eat
neither of these creatures, aud they have a
kind of vague idea, which they themselves
cannot explain, of a future state of rewards
and punishments; but whether this is an in
digenous aboriginal conception or caught
from missionaries is one of those things uo
interpreter can uad out. But this is a digres
sion. Let us return to the desert. Myself
ami the Indian traveled from Defiance up
Canyon Benito over a spur of red hills aud
into a green valley about a mile square,
walled in by columns and ridges of sand rock,
thence out upon bare rock, thence through a
forest, thence on to a sandstone plateau, at
least 7,003 feet above the .ea, and then down
into Bat canyon aud Canyon Dechelley.
It may bo added incidentally that, from the
level of the plateau there was a descent of
1,100 feet into the canyon, which we made
through a sort of a groove in the side of the
cliff, aud were three hour is iu going that dis
tance; but a little thing like that is hardly
thought worth mentioning iu Arizona.
Canyon Dechelley, in which I remained a
day, is noted among western autiquarians for
the so called cliff cities, old Indian towns oi
flat stones laid ia white cement, built on the
shelving cliffs of the Vocks, anywhere fi ora
80 to (XX) feet above the bottom of the tan-
yon. It is alleged by savants, of course, that
a semi-civilized people once inhabited these
cities and were driven away by the nomadic
Indians; but 1 think their leaving the best
proof that they were civilized and that they
went to a land of rains.
Early the next morning we issued rrom the
mouth of Canyon Dechelley t<) across a flat
plain some ten miles wide in which the black
.and yellow earth was as dry as ashes, and be
yond that entered upon the White Desert.
Hour aftei hour we toiled on across this arid
waste, our horses suffering from heat and
thirst and the little water in our canteens
simmering warm. At last we reached a
range of gray and chalky looking hills where

the guide pointed out a faint green tinge in
the yellow sage brush and said “Toh,” which
means “water,” but it did not mean that
there was any water there; it only meant
that somewhere up the mountain nearby
there had recently been water and might yet
be.
So we climbed half a mile or more—it was
like riding up a mountain of crumbling
chalk—ana underneath a large cliff found
two holes scooped out by Indians’ hatchets,
containing a gallon or so of water to each,
the water almost blood warm. Our horses
drank It in a few minutes, it filled again,
and so by long waiting we got enough for
them and to fill our canteens, and once more
sandstone columns.
