THAI BAfsJs'UK, ATHENS, iNU V J'J>115KL1 0, 18S'J WILD WARRIORS. Til Wild lest Slow lill Come Gome to Oar Fair, DIRT .SOOM TO BE BROKEN ENS. IJT ATH- Th* Lina to be Donated in Athena Week and Contracts Let Out. Th Pawnee Bill and a Host of Big Injuns will Imde the Athens Fair Grounds -Crowds Coining. The Bi£ Injuns are coming* Athens will greet them with rousing good cheer and gire them a home on the fair greunds. Their tents will be pitched all over the grounds, and the fair will assume an appearance of an Indian village. It Was a prominent member of the board of fair directors that met a Ban ns* reperter yesterday with hair on end and trembling voice announced in frighted tones that he had just received n message from Comanche Bill, assert ing that he would soon fold his tents in Atlanta and come to Athens. “Think of it,” said lie, “the Indians are approaching our buiet town of Ath ens, and will pitch their wigwams on the outskirts of the city in less than a fortnight.” Many years ago such a message from st Native AmericanTndian would have carried a death-like palor to the cheek of every Athenian, and men, women and ohildren would have locked and barred the'r doors or else they would have “vamoosed the ranch,”as it were. Quite different now. Athens will greee the wild warriors ef the west with cor diality, and will rejoice to see their si lent march through our classic avenues. They will draw thousands of “pale faces” to the fair, and will hold them spell-bound during the entire week, with their quaint manners and customs as well as with their daring feats of rifle shooting, racing around the ring, lasso ing oattle. and other performances, known only to their skill and science. The Wild West Show will be a draw ing oard for the Athens Fair indeed. There are scores of people right here around Athens who have never seen an American Indian, and have only a faint idea of his appearance formad by pic tures in United State histories while at school. One cannot realize the deadly terror inspired by the countenance of a real Indian until he has seen one face to face, looked into the depth of his keen hawk eye, and watched the sus pecting glance that he costs all about him. Whet a tale of the sorrowful past is told by that glance! What scenes of warfare and dietress; of virgin for ests and wild hunting grounds rise up up before one’s mental visions at the sight of one of these chiefs! Poor un- fsrtnnate people, what a fate is yours! Tears ago you ruled supreme the Amer ican continent and reveled in the soli tude of your pathless hunting greunds. Today your race is ebbing to a close, and with buned hatchets you parade before a superior race to give amuse ment by your very sight! A real Indian is indeed an interesting sight these days, and the fact that the Athens Fairgrounds will be filled with them, and with many long-haired cow boys from the west is sufficient to say 1 I m The Georgia, Carolina & Northern railroad is slowly coming toward Ath ens, and by next summer the trains will be running from Monroe, N. C., to the Classic City. The section from Ches ter to Clinton will be completed in a few days—more than a thousand hands being at work thereou—and so soon as this is done the entire force will be put to work grading to the Savannah river, as the route is located to that point. This week the chief engineer will be in Athena for the purpose of locating the line out of our city, when contracts will be at once let and dirt broken. Then forces will be set to work on both ends of the line, and they will meet at the Savannah river. This company has the money in hand topayfor the grading and equipping of the entire road, and of course it is to their interest to hasten the work as fast as possible, for the sooner the line is in operation the sooner will then inter est on idle capital he stopped. In the next thirty days it is expected that every part of the route from Ath ens to Clinton S., C., will be under con tract. This will be great news for our peo ple. They hvae been anxiously waiting to see dirt broken on the G., C. & N., for it means the biggest kind of a boom for Athens. people wril flock by the < -our Fair. ■thousands to TENTS f ITCHED, And the G., C. & N, Survey Will b Commenced. The surveyor’s tents have been pitch ed, and the work on the G., C. & N. will nqw be commenced in Athens. Yesterday the engineers pitched their tents at the Lilly springs near the city, and are now prepared to begin work This week the corps of engineers will begin the re-survey of the road from Athens to the Savannah river, and when that is completed the construc tion of this section of tho road will be commenced. Athens has looked a long time for the coming of the G., C. & N. and her citizens always had confidence in the assertion that it would come. It coming now, and it meausa better day for Athens. It will not tike long now before the whistle of the G., C. & N. locomotives will be heard in our midst. Negro Thief Captured. Officer Lee Goodrum arrested a ne gro named John Smith this morning and will hold him until the authorities of Oglethorpe county speak for him. He is wanted there for larcency. When rrested, a pistol wasfouudon his per and at that time a negro stepped up an ! -aid that John had stolen the pistol from him. So it seems he is into two stealing scrapes. A SUITABLE FISHWAY. The Legislature Takes up the Banner’s Suggestion and Hakes a Law ef It. It was nothing but a conception of a just and honest duty that prompted the Georgia Legislature to take np the sug gestion of the Bannik that a better fishway should be established in the Savannah river at Augusta, and make that suggestion assume the shape of a law. This has been done. The com mittee to whom the bill has been given have agreed that the measure was a fair and just one, and have recommended thaUa committee be appointed with pewer to inspect the present dam and make such appropriations as may be necessary to establish a more suitable gshway at Augusta. The people of South Carolina and Georgia along the Savannah river above Augusta have long suffered the effects ef that eity’s fish monopoly, for such it must be called, and the legislature has faithfully discharged its duty in de manding the distruction of this monop oly. A fishway ean be constructed that will notin anyway injure the manu factories of that city, and in spite of the Augusta News’ protest, the Fountain City will submit to such changes in the dam as the legislature may recommend. Mr. Fleming, himself, who ably repre sents Augusta in the legislature, did not see fit to vote against the bill, tfe commend his candor and fair minded ness to the editor of the Evening News. IT WAS YELLOW JACK* Death of William Bruns Caused By This Dread Disease. Speeial to tke Banner. Nhw Yobk, Oct. 18.—The case of William Bruns,a pasenger on the steam ship Hondo, who dieddnring the pas sage from Greytown, has been the cause of conflict batween the health officers at qa&rantiae and at Sinhurne island. Bruns died on Wednesday last & few hours before the Hondo arrived at quarantine. The health officer at first thought that he had died of yellow fever. Dr. Smith, however, after mak ing and examination of the body, de cided that the cause ef the man’s death was not yellow,-but Chagres fever. be last night n messenger from Swinburne’s island, where the body of the dead passenger had been car ried for disposal, brought to this city the startling infornation that the man had not died of Chagres fever, bnt of yellow fever. An autopsy had been made which had prov- this fact. This report was confirmed this morniug by Health Officer Smith. Host of the cargo ef the Hondo has been sold by this time. The passengers have left the city for their homes in other parts of the country. Bruns, the vietim of the yellow jack, was a rich German,who was on his way from Honduras to his home in Germany. His body will be cremated at Swin- bnrne’s Island today. AlGALA Athens Ablaze with Life and Light. A Bridal Party from Banks will Haste to tie Wedding. A Real Alliance Wedding in which the Parties will be Robed in Cot ton Bagging—The Wild West Show a Chief Attraction—Cow boys and Indians will Raise High Carnival in Classic Athens. A FEAST OF FUN FOR THE FARMERS The directors of the fair are happy. They scored a red letter day yester day, and are rejoicing overht success of their efforts for the fair. A postal card from Mr. J. K. Thomp son, of Banks county, to President Hol man, yesterday announced that a coup le from that county had expressed a willingness to be married in cotton bag ging at the fair. The names were not given but President Holman at once joyfulness in tlie bounties of the year by joining iu the gay pleasures of our fair. The directors expect to see the largest crowd ever seeu in Athens before, and the gates of the Classic City* will almost burst with the vast multitudes that will throng the citj r limits. Every man, woman anfl child in Northeast Georgia will be present, and everybody will join in the demonstration of glad- someness and joy over the abundance f the year s *arv^«.v : , - : THE ATHENS 1>AV. Tuesday November 12th will be the opening day of the fair and has been set apart for Athens’ great day. It will be a great occasion, for every store in the city to be closed and for every merchant to go out to the fair and let their clerks and salesmen go, and pay the just tribute of respect to the thousands of visitors, and guests of the city which their presence deserves. It is to be hoped that Atbcns merchants will not be outdone in hospitality by those of Macon and Atlanta, and they have at their opening days closed]their stores and turned out en masse to greet the visitors at their fairs, and bid them i welcome to their cities. We feel cer tain that there is not a merchant in I Athens who would hesitate to close his [ shop on Nov. 12th, and let his salesmen : and bis family go out to the fair I grounds to make Athens Day a fit ope ning day of the fair. ANOTHER WEDDING. It will be a double wedding. Since the above was written the sec retary of the board of directors has re wrote to Mr. Thompson accepting the Wi l be - a o enu ine | ce j ve( j a telegram from another couple, Alltance wedding. The bride, and groom will be robed in pretty garments of cotton bagging, and Rev. J. R. Ber nard has already agreed to perform the solemn ceremonies free of charge. As an evidence of the enthusiasm which is felt by the merchants of Athens, we need only refer to the fact that as soon as the announcement had been received of the Alliance wedding ^yesterday, the live and enterprising firm of Julius Co hen & Co. came forward and offered to make the bride’s costume, and a num ber of others offered presents to the couple. It is needless to say that an other firm will volunteer to make the groom’s wedding suit so soon as the marriage is generally made known. Michael Bros, will present the bride with a beautiful hat handsomely trim med and artistically designed. The Al liance wedding will indeed be a chie feature of the fair, and old Banks coun ty will be the toast of the day for its loyalty to the Alliance, and the faith fulness in its noble work. Everybody will come to see the Alliance wedding. I expressing their willingness to marry with Alliance ceremonies. The direc tors are arranging to do the wedding day up to the queen’s taste, and the merchants of Athens are endorsing the move with hearty and liberal co-opera tion. Messrs. Stern & Dorsey will pre sent one of the couples with a handsome bedstead, aud scores of other gifts will be tendered the couples. The fair is getting a genuine move on it and promises to be unprecedented in the history of Athens. THE MAYOR SUPPED HIS PACE. Congressman Tarsney Assaulted at a Public Meeting. Kansas City, October 30.—Mayor Davenport slapped Congressman Tars ney full in the face this afternoon and in return very nearly received a shot from the Congressman’s revolver. It was all on account of the entertainment of the Pan-American tourists, who-will arrive here next Wednesday morning. A meeting was held at the Commercial Crowds from every section of the State Club to perfect arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors. The Mayor had vetoed an onfin- comiug warmed up, and the merchants f“ ce .. pa8Sed . bj \ J^ e . . <\f a - Council appropriating *1,000 to be ex pended for entertain the guests.

Cobb was admitted to the bar yesterday morning before Judge N. L. Hutchins. Although Athens has a great many lawyers, Mr. Cobb is wel comed heartily by the members of the bar here, and being a man of fine mind and much talent, he will succeed in his c’.Dica profession.. and citizens of Athens are talking about the wedding on every street corner. The directors look with pride on their program of amusements already arrang ed and are encouraged in their work of adding new attractions each day. A'partial foresight of the fair may be imaged from the following main fea tures that nave thus far been secured: The finest races of every description will be seen each day. Trotting races, runniug races, foot races, mule races—every kind of race ever seen on the ring will be had each day during the fair. The Wild West Show will trausform the fair grounds into a vast prairie in the wild and distant west and will hold the thousands of visitors electrified with thrilling excitement every day of the f tir. The trained seals that attracted so much interest at the Piedmont Expo sition have been secured for exhibition at the Fair. The death of General Custer on the Little Big Horn, a beautiful represent ation in wax, has been obtained for ex hibit. The Balloon Ascension and daring leap of the aeronaut will he a sight most wonderful to be seen. The ladies’ department including their chrysanthemum show will he a most beauteous array of loveliness. The la dies will display a number of speci mens of art and handiwork and a superb orchestra will discourse sweet strains through the hall during the entire day. The promenade concerts by Card’s elegant military band of Macon, will be charming and the music will surely be a chief feature of the Fair. The Military day will draw crowds. The prize drills will be close and most exciting while skirmish drills will be full of interest to everybody. The public speaking will be a great event of the fair. Every class of peo ple will assemble to hear the eloquence of the South’s most noted statesmen in the discussion of great and living is sues of to-day. The directors have al- readv secured many of the most prom inent statesmen in this section of the South and will have several others before the fair opens. Hon. Fleming DuBignon has been asked to address the people during the fair. The fact is that there was never such a feast of rare amusements in this part of the State as the directors have ar ranged for the coining fair. The peo ple of Northeast Georgia will turn out en masse each day and will show their ON TO ATHENS. THE GRADING FORCE PUSHING THE G., C. & N. RAPIDLY ON. m & y esispsBM fret.

MOSS & CO At their Warehouse, Clay ton Stre b t Council, overrode the veto aud then the Mayor ordered the Treasurer not to recognize drafts upon the Treasury for that purpose. During the discussion this afternoon Congressman Tarsney referred in terms not very complimentary to the Mayor’s action. Davenport started to leave the room and on doing so said: “If I can help it not a penny of the city’s money will be used illegally, but I will con tribute from my own pocket as much as Mr. Tarsney or any other man for the entertainment of the delegates.” Mr.Tarsney replied: “Ido not care to resort to pothouse methods.” This enraged Mr. Davenport, and, in an angry tone, he defied the Congress man to repeat the statement. Mr. Tars ney repeated it. The words were no sooner out of his mouth than the Mayor dealt him a resounding slap full in the face. Mr. Tarsney reached into his hip pocket to draw his revolver, hut his friends prevented bim from using the weapon. NO WARRANTS SWORN OUT. Deputy Collector Hurray Hakes a Denial Mr. I. V. Murray requests us to state that Hon. Jeff Scott, of Madison coun ty, came to see him yesterday, stating that Mr. Bullock has reported that he had sworn out warrants against Messrs Fletch Colbert, Sam Ware and Berry Meadows, three highly respectable cit izens of that county. Mr. Murray says there is not a word of truth in the report, as there is no charges against these gentlemen. He also says he took Jim Huggins, col., along with him as a servant, and to guard his buggy, as the moonshiners above Gainesville, a short time since, piled a lot of brush on Deputy Collector’s buggy and burned it up. m Mr. Murray, a few days since arrested Mr. Jim Lindsey and W. H. Williams of Madison county,. and they were each placed under a $300 bond for illicit distilling. He also arrested several parties in Hancock county, wl£ had sworn vengeance against him, and they were fined from $300 to $500 and placed in jail from 6 to 13 months each. Mr Murray has never as yet arrested person, hut that he was bound over This shows that he has evidence to con vict before making an arrest.

You haven’t got another one about you, have you?” SALE OF A TAN YARD. Booth Brothers Make a Bis Purchase.'} The Messrs.^ Booth, one of the most enterprising firms . in Athens, have bought ehe Long tanyard of Capt. Wil liford, and will operate it in a firt-class manner. These gentlemen will pay the highest market price for bides, aud in tend to-build up a business which will do credit to Athens. This is already one of the best equipped tan-yards in the State, but all the improvements will be added. It was a big thing for j Athens when the Booths went into j this business, for they make a success of whatever they touch. To # Assist Nature In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is all that any medicine can do. In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, the mucous membrane first becomes inflamed, then accumulations form in the air-cells ol the lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction of the tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes can have no opportunity to heaL Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral . Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, and leaves no injurious results. This is why it is more highly estemeed than any other pulmonary specific. # L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt., writes: “ Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and confined to my bed about four months. My physician finally said I was in con sumption, and that he could not help me. One of my neighbors advised me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, aud before I had taken half a bottle was able to go out. By the time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills, Me., writes: “ Six years ago, I was atrav- eling salesman, aiid at that time was suffering with Lung Trouble. For months I was unable to rest nights. I could seldom lie down, had frequent choking spells, and was often com pelled to seek the open air for relief I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which helped me. Its con tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I believe, saved my life.” CHICHESTER’S ENGLISH PENNYROYAL PILLS, Cross Diamond Brand. ^ The 0KI7 rtllablo pill for n's. Jeftul ^■^^tasurc.
