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.

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.

It is natural for the people of Athens look for bargains, and more natural at 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, must bring a regular price 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 will remove tea stains anh perenaders from beneath your windows. 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 or sell out and begin as I have. I tell you, the practise of catching birds by means of putting salt on their tails is no longer fashionable. A Rough Experience on the “Great American Desert.” M AX JOSEPH CURE S’cV.

Governor Gordon 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. All the white letter carriers of Birm- inghom, Ala., have quit the service be cause of the employment of two negro earners. • ON THE 35TH PARALLEL ROUTE There Are 300,000 Square Allies of Barren Mountain unit as Much Store Barren Sand aud Alkali Plains—Among the Navajoes—At John 1>. Lee's. 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 reached the te.tt 2 ** struck into tiS m of the L" Jotting across sa^d‘1.

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.
