Each merchant will be in fantastic

Tuesday’s Program
the Fair Grounds,
Fun for the Thousands-Tha Grand
Parade and Concert Monday Night
—Everything Ready for the
Racket.
SOW LET THE BALL BOLL OS!
Tuesday is the day for the people of.
Athens to show up white. Their
reputation as a hospitable people is at
stake, and they must sustion it. They
should let their presence regardless ol
sex, age or class be a tribute of
: respect to the visitors at the Fair.
! They owe this to them as their guests
and the directors who have so laborious
ly struggled for the success of the Fair.
We believe they will give it.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION.
Let every citizen on the street
car line be sure to illuminate
their houses on Monday night
foithe grand concert parade.
This will be the merriest night the old
city has ever known and will wake
The University of Georgia will be in
the procession, and the boys will outdo
themselves in getting themselves up in
the most ridiculous manner possible.
The procession will be over a mile in
length, and will be greeted with the
cheers of the thousands who will line
the streets that day. Up the prin
cipal streets of the city the procession
will go, starring at ten o’clock at the
monument on College avenue. Arri
ving at the Fair Grounds at eleven
o’clock, the Fair will be opened and
the great show will be on.
FAIR NOTES.
Umimaiicho Bill says that ha will
pvt Alliens fully a* go* d a show as was
wiftited in Atlanta, and if anything
mill be better. If he presents; it as
id! as in Atlanta, Athens will go wild
lilh delight, and if lie does it better,
krentkusi. stn will know no bounds.
It.:-is one thing certain. Comanche
ami his cowboys will be here, and
fill give an excellent show to those
t!i<> attend the fair. The impression
te gotten out that this is a show to
iliuli admission will be charged inside
grounds. Wo hope that thismis-
uke has already been corrected, and
i-.-ure ( Very one that it is free to all
who enter the grounds. If uBthin
else was to he seen or heard within the
grounds except this show, it would
well lie worth the admission price in
kstlf.
H will he a pleasant amusement and
diversion, and every man in this see-
lion should be here with his wife anu
chihlrrtv and seethe great Wild West
ihow.
The street cars will be run to the Fair
Grounds to-day. #
Mrs. H. C. White yesterday present
ed the Fair Association with a wagon
load of beautiful cut flowers for decora
tion purposes.
The comnt t ee was hard at work al
yesterday festooning the Fair buildings
with evergreens.
The following shows have already ar
rived on the Fair Grouuds and will-
have their tents pitched by Monday:
The educated seals. Battle of Gettys
burg. The death of Custer. Indian
relics and implements of warfare. A
tent of Na ional Curiosities. A pho
tographer. Other shows are expected
in to-day or to-morrow.
The Wild West show telegraphed that
^hey would arrive sometime hist night.
Vice-President Baldwin has a conju
rer’s outlie consisting of the left hind
foot of a grave yard rabbit, an owl’s
claw and the finger of a dead negro.
Yesterday when the rain was threat
ened he rubbed the same behind the car
of each director of the Fair Association,
when the clouds at once broke away.
The ladies who desire to compete for
the floral display atour fair are request
ed to bring in their exhibits at as early
an hour as possible on Monday as it is
desired to give them a conspicuous
place.
The citizens livi,ng on the street car
line must not forget to iliumiuate their
houses on Monday night.
Don’t forget the grand concert Mon
day night by the streetcar line with
Card’s brass band.

It will be a program of fun and frolie
and will be appropriate for the opening
day of the grandest Fair Athens ever
saw. It is brimful of amusement for
everybody that wants to participate in
the pleasures of the day. It is in fact,
as complete a program as has been of
fered at any Fair in the State this year,
or in any preceding years. It can’t he
beat.
That’s the way the Fair will begin,
and that’s the way it will continue and
end, with the finest programs that ever
were arranged by any Fair in the State.
Athens was never behind any city in
the State when she set her heart to any
undertaking, and that her heart has
been set to fhe Fair is evinced by the
program named above.
The Wild West Show will be given
each day at the Fair, and will stand
conspicuous on the lists of amusements.
The. balloon ascension will he given
every other day, and will be witnessed
by thousands, each time the perform-
c: is made.
The races will be among the finest
ever seen on the American turf, and
A TERRIBLE BUTCHERY.

Special to Banner.
Njrw Ohi.kans, La., Nov. 8,—A
butchery, probably the work of an in
sane man, occurred Wednesday at
Bayou Boetif, La., in which two men
were killed and four desperately wound
ed.
Leon Thibodeaux was standing on
the railroad platform; a stranger slap
ped him familiarly on the back. Mr
Thibodeaux remonstrated with the man
who for answer drew a long knife and
plunged it into Thibodeaux’s hack
and neck. His brother Neil Thib
odeaux, ran to his assistance and
was also met by the stranger’s knife,
which was thrust intd his throat, part
ly severing one of .the arteries. Melas
Thibodeaux, cousin of the wounded
man, was next cut in the back and side
The stranger then plunged his knife in
to Frank Pennison’s heart. He died
without a groan. The murderer then
sprang upon Josh Morrison, a one
armed employee of the railroad, who
made a gallant fight and succeeded in
knocking down his assailant several
times before he fell himself with ten
cuts on his person. The murderer then
ran to the bayou and stepping into
skiff, pushed off into the stream. Mr
Anchain pursued him, and after firing
several shots which took effect, the fu
gitive tumbled into the bayou and sank
out of sight.

taken in such sport and always will be, 111011
will electrify the grand stand every
day when the fleet-tooted steeds are
brought out.
THE WEATHER.
Yesterday the gray and threatening
clouds which overhung our jubilant
city were rolled lightly away by a cool
Northwestern breeze and the bright
sunlight and blue skies shone down se
renely.
The weather signal service announces
the outlook for the next few days good
for fair, sunny weather.
This is jolly for our great Fair. If
the weather continues as it was yester
day the city will be filled to overflow
ing this week with people from every
section of the State.
The race track will be in excellent
trim, and will be the scene of the finest
races that have been seen for many a
day. But even if it rains and the
weather is unfavorable, the fun will be
ready for the visitors in endless variety,
and the people will have plenty - of
shelter on the grounds.
THE FLOWER SHOW.
Tliis will be one of the prettiest fea
tures of the Fair, and the ladies will
make It a beautiful success.
They will take possession of the main
building early tomorrow morning,
and will embellish it with floral adorn
ments. It will he a lovely and attrac

A REPORTER ON THE GROUNDS.
A Banner reporter paid the Fair
Grounds a visit yesterday, and found
that wonderful improvements had been
made. Mr. Flanigen was on hand and
was having the grounds thoroughly re
novated and put in condition for the
great Fair.
The main building has been put in
neat repair and is ready for the
ladies to take possession to-morrow.
The live and enterprising furniture
dealers O’Farrell & Funkenstein have
fitted up a handsome reception room for
the ladies and it is indeed a most delect
able retreat, which reflects credit upon
the generosity of this firm. The race
track is perfect and everything on the
grounds has assumed a business
like shape.
A SUGGESTION.
What is Transpiring in the Queen
City of the Mountains.
Special to the Banner.
Gainesville, Ga., Nov. 8.—Saturday
was the biggest day this city ever saw.
The great day of the fair brought the
people here. There were 4,000 within
the gates and the balance on the out
side. It is unfortunate that the grounds
are so loeated that good views of the
entire track can be had from elevations
just outsid§ the fence. The Alliance
wedding was between a Mr. Blackwell
of White, and a MissTrulave, of Lump
kin, Rev. J. Osborn, of Cleveland, offi
ciated. The bridal party was brought
to the stand in a four-horse carriage,
and -after alighting walked upon the
altar over cotton bagging. Their dress
was anything in appearance but bridal.
Neither wore any regular garment.
The best lady and gentleman were
were alike attired, but they got there
all the same. There were a large num
ber of presents aside from the $50 suit
of furniture given by the Fair Asso
ciation.
Hon. L. F. Livingston imraeaiately
^ ^tempted to address the Farmer’s Al
tance, but with a 4,000 crowd and a
politico— agricultural— anti—jute- trust
speech can’t be handled and his work
was an up-hill job fripn the start,
suppose he made a good speech but
could not hear it and not many others
did.
The races for the classes were excep
tionally fine. In the 2:40 trotting, best

stayed during the first.heat. The run
ning was half mile, best two in three,
four starters; Bill, Frank, Splinter and
Hazel. Splinter won first heat, Hazel
2nd, Bil43rd, Frank 4th. Hazel taking
2nd money: Time 51-52. This was by
all odds the most exciting race on the
grpunds. The 1st and 2nd heats 20
feet could have covered the distance be
tween the front and hindmost horse
from the start.
To-day is rainy and the big races, if
they come ofi’ at all will be slimly at
tended.
The battle of Gettysburg and the
death of General Custer are side shows
upon the grounds. They are going to
Athens next week and they are well
worth a visit. I never saw anything
bettef in my life.
The death of Hon, K. L. Boone has
cast a deep gloom over the ent rc town.
The sympathy of our whole community
goes out to his grief stricken family.He
was buried to-day with honors of Odd
Fellowship and Masonry. The funeral
cortege was the largest ever witnessed
in our city. The flags of the fair were
at half mast and every business house
closed during the obsequies as a mark qf
respect to the lionoied deal.
The opening of the fair was only
slimly attended. The death of Hon. K.
L. Boone was announced from the
speaker’s stand and all proceedings post
poned until two o’clock. At 2 o’clock
the opening address was delivered by
Senator Colquitt aud a large part of it
was a euiogy of Mr. Boone* who was %
member of his command during the late
war. *

tire to greet her guests, and will wel
come them in fine style.
The parade on Tuesday morning will
take the city by storm, and the proces
sion of more than five hundred men on
horseback will be greeted by cheers
from the thousands as they pas3 along
the streets en route to the Fair grounds.
The merchants of Athens have done the
royal act by closing up every store and
making the day one of -rejoicing and
thanksgiving. They have proved them
selves royal ^Athenians, worthy of they
city in which they live. There was
never a movement at which Athens’ rep
utation for hospitality was at stake, but
that the citizens realized and sustained
that reputation most nobly,but never did
did Athenians extend greater honor to
pie, nor reflect more honor upon them
selves than they have done by stopping
their business to receive and welcome
the visitors to our Fair.
It is with real pleasure and pride that
Athens is looking forward to the com
ing Fair. It is a Fair the like of which
has never been seen in this section of
the South. The directors deserve all
manner of congratulations upon the
successful way in which they have
pushed through to a triumphant end
the work of preparing the Fair. Their
labor has been increasing and they have
never wearied iu their burdensome task
uutil everything has been placed iu
readiness for the Fair.
We give below something like
the list of attractions
that have been secured for the Fair.
The grand pageant on Tuesday
morning will open the gayeties of the
week with one panoramic view of every
-imaginable -sigfet of ridiculous civ,cum
and make tips.
The Wild West show is certainly com
ing to Athens.
We learn that there is a report circu-
ter and section of the city. The friends
of the candidates were also hard at work
and put in some good lieks for their
favorite constituents, scarcely f king
time c<> get llieir dinners.
Thus the day went by, and every nio-
rner.t brought the excitement to a high
er pitch. The greatest interest was in
the mayor’s race,and the friends of each
candidate were sanguine of success. It
was only until mid-day before the mul
titudes of voters and eager candidates
began to learn how the day would end.

The Benders are at last supposed to
have been caught in Kansas. The sto
ry of their crimes committed sixteen
years ago stands foremost in criminal
history, and as robbers and wholesale
murde.ers they were rivals of the no
torious Burk, of Scottland. Among
their victims was a young man named
Williford from Athens and many oth
ers who were not known. The persons
that were arrested are Mrs. Sarah Davis
and Mrs. Almira Monroe who are sus
pected of being Mrs. Bender and her
daughter Kate.
Rain or shine the people will come to
the Athens Fair. The people of Geor
gia know that Athens is. too hospitable
a city to receive guests and let them
stand in the rain and winter’s cold.
There will be shelter for everybody on
the grounds and the guests of Athens
may always expect a warm reception
under her “roof tree.”
