A Stock Company for the Publication
Business m Athens.
The undersigned have consolidated
the Athens Daily and Weekly Ban
ner and book and job otiiee and the
Athens Evening and Weekly Chronicle
and book and job otiiee, with a view to
*’ ruling a joint stock company to car
ry ou a newspaper, book and job print
ing, book binding and .stationery busi
ness hi all its branclres.
In this consolidation the two papers,
have been placed at $10,500, the net
cost of the ollices.
We propose to raise $18,000 in sub
scription, under a charter giving the
right to increase stock to $100,000. The
$1,500 above the cost of the offices will
be.used as a surplus fund, which togeth
er with the proceeds of the sale of sur
plus material will be applied to fur
nishing new and improved machinery.
$10,500 of this stock has been taken,and
w e only desire now to raise $7,500
among the business men of Athens and
adjoining counties. We feel that the
time has arrived when Athens should
have a first-class daily paper, and to
secure one it is necessary that all the
patron- ge be consolidated with one of
fice. Our reason for making it a stock
t ompany is that everybusiuess man and •
as many representative citizens as pos
sible may secure ai. interest in the pa
per, and thus become workers for the
enterprise. This plan is now adopted
by all the adjoining cities in the coun
try.
Thoroughly understanding the news
paper business,*we feel no hesitancy in
guaranteeing those w hy take stock in
the company, that they will find it a
paying investment.
The Atlanta Journal this year declared
a dividend of 5o per cent on a larger
capital than we will ask, and we be
lieve a single paper in Athens will
have a better field. We desire to or
ganize this company at once, so that
the combination can take place on the
first day of December. The selection
of an editorial stall'and business mana
ger will be left wholly with the stock
holders.
The largest share in the company will
be $1,000 so that it will be out of the
power of any one man to control or ma
nipulate the office; In forming this
company it is desired, as we stated to
have every business house in the city
represented ar.d to this end we have
placed shares at $50 each, on the fol
lowing mean- of payment. the
first installment to be twenty-live per
cent, and the balance in monthly in
stallments not, exccedingten percent.
On Wednesday the undersigned will
call upon our citizens for the purpose
of raising these subscriptions, and vve
ask that they gi vc the matter their se
rious consideration that they may be
ready to.enro.l their names and amount
of stock. With a'proper management
we believe that the stock in the Athens
Publishing Company will.pay at least
twenty-live per cent, the first year and
there is no reason why, with its future
ahead of our city, that the paper
should not be worth at least fifty
thousand dollars in very few years
It is'espeeially desired that all classes
of citizens and lines of business be rep
resented. The paper of course cannot
be run in the interest of any man or set
of men, but it is understood that its
mission shall be the building up and
development of Athens and our section
We desire to make the new paper to

Three Weddings at the Fair.
What the Directors are
Doing Daily.
Two beautiful brides from Banks.
They were in the city yesterday and
had their trousseaux fitted for the wed
ding at the Fair next week.
It is something quite unusual to see
tvvo brides in a dress makers estab
lishment, haring their costumes all ar
ranged and fitted for-the same day and
the same wedding. Yet this was what
was seen yesterday in Athens.
The two prospective brides from
Banks county came down, acyi spent the
day in the Classic City They proceeded
straightway to the dressmaking depart
ment of Julius Cohen & Co., and were
noli sod by a great many as they entered
this establishment, a Banner reporter
among the number.
The reporter was not long in securing
a formal introduction to the young la
dies and enjoyed quite a lengthy and de
lightful conversation with them. They
are pretty—quite pretty—both of them,
and the Banner reporter could not re
strain from congratulating both of tiie
loyal young alliaucemeu, who had beeu
so fortunate as to wiu their hearts and
hands.
Both are brunettes, and are splendid
types of Southern beauty. They are
sisters. In facial outlines they are very
like each other. One has almost jet-
black hair, which was coiled in great
profusion about her well shaped head in
quite a Grecian style. A pair of dark
brown eyes, radiant with a soul of wit
and keenness gave the reporter a few
glances which, if we are any judge,told
the tale of h«i loyalty to the Alliauce
(or rather to one member of the A Hi
ance), with unmistaken accents, accom
panied as they were with a deep red
blush whenever the Alliance happened
to be mentioned.

New York, August 1,1886.1
122 E. 27th st. }
Dr. J. C. Ayer A Go., Lowell, Mass.,
Gentlemen:—A sense of gratitude
and the desire to render a service to the
public impel me to make the following
statements:
My college career, at New Haven, wa3
interrupted by a severe cold which so
enfeebled me that, for ten years, I had a
hard struggle for life. Hemorrhage
from the bronchial passages was the
result of almost every fresh exposure.
For years I was under treatment of the
ablest practitioners without avail. At
last I learned of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
which I used (in ester aiely and in small
doses) at the first recurrence of a cold
or any chest difficulty, and from whick
I invariably found relief. This was
over 25 years ago. With all sorts of
exposure, in allaiorts of climates, I have
never, to this nay, had any cold nor
any affection of the throat or lungs
which did not- yield to Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral within 24 hours.
Of course i have never allowed my
self to be without this remedy in all my
voyages and travels. Under my own
observation, it has given relief to vast
numbers of persons; while in acute cases
of pulmonary inflammation, such as
croup and diphtheria in children, life
has bedh preserved through its effects.
I recommend its use in light hut fre
quent doses. Properly administered, in
accordance with your directions, it is
A Priceless Blessing
in any house. I speak earnestly because
I feel earnestly. I have known many
cases of apparently confirmed bronchitis
and cough, with loss of voice, particu
larly among clergymen and other public
speakers, perfectly cured by this medi
cine. Faithfully yours,
C. EDWARDS LESTER.

“Wo have lost heavily by this delay

they struck rock in digging out the

WHAT THE DIR’ CTOltS SAY.
Yesterday Was the busiest yet with
the Fair Directors. They realized the
fact that the fair was but one week dis
tant, and hence the necessity of their
gettiug a thorough ‘‘move” on them.
They did this in dead earnestness.
A Banner reporter called iu to see
what they had to say about the coming
Fair, but they had little time to talk.
Mr. Charlie Baldwin smiled radiantly
and said, “Whoop’er up, there’s only
one week and we’ll he ready with the
grandest Fair ever seen in Athens.” He
stated further that the directors had
every reason to believe that Athens had
never seen such crowds as would c une
here during the Fair. , “The applica
tions for circulars and premium lists,”
said he, “that are pouring in upon us
each day jfrom every section of the State
insure a great crowd, and we confident
ly expect full fifty thousand people in
Athens.”
The directors aro still engaged in get
ting new attractions for the Fair and
have lately made several engagements,
which will add much to tile entertain
ment of the visitors.
PAIR NOTES.
It will be the greatest Fair of the year
1889. ; ; “J
The people of Athens will !out do
themselves in their cordial reception of
the thousands of visitors.
Everything is lovely, and the direc
tors are as happy as can-be.
Michael Bros, presented the Bank’s
county brides with beautiful bonnets
yesterday, which will be among the
most eleganLat the wedding.
The cadets are getting in fine shape
with their drilling and their skirmish
drill will be of great Interest.
The "Wild West show will be the hit
of the week with the people at the Fair
that in Georgia. We have not forgot
ten Ills votes in congress on the con
tested elections in the hoe-string dis
trict in Mississippi, and the “Black
Beit’, in South Carolina.
Emory Speer is at t-ha end of bis
tetlier, and the Democrats need mit try
4 to galvanize a political corpse; n the
Birdsong casein Macon he did try to
reinstate himself, but we are told that
he suspended the sentence indefinitely,
which clearly showed that he was not
sincere, and that it was all for effect.
Speer said hte was making no indorse
ment, but agentleman told us he saw a
paper in AVaslungton recconunending
his father for the postoffiee at Athens,
and that Emory Speer and Mr. Marion
Erwin Signed it, and that afterwards it
was withdrawn. All the same, Madi
son Davis will be appointed, and Col.

farmers ever seen in the'South. They
will all wear streamers of white, cotton
bagging which will be prepared for
them, and will score a great day for the
war against jute and for the Alliauce i u
general.
The Alliance weddings on this day
Avill be the hit of the whole week.
These happy couples will kneel before
Hymen’s after, and will swear their
allegiance . to more serious vows than
the Alliance demands. Many hundreds
of spectators will witness the marriage
ceremonies performed according to the
Alliance rites. The fair brides will be
beautiful in their white cotton bagging
trousseaux, and the grooms in their
white full dress suits will catch the en
vious glance of the dudes in their aes
thetic fancies. It is said and believed
•by many, that Alliance day will draw
the largest crowds of any of the rest.
NOTES ON THE FAIR.
The directors will have something
that will amuse everybody on the
grounds.
Most, all of the privileges have been
sold, and the demand is still great.
The running and trotting races each
day will be exciting and full of inter
est. The music will be furnished by
Card’s band, of Macon, and will be a
chief feature of the iair. There -will be
dances most every night, andthe young
people will continue the revelry day
and night.
The chrysanthemum exhibit will be
one of the most beautiful attractions at
the fair. A lovely prize will he offered
and the ladies will exert themselves to
make it an elegant display.
The gorgeous array of flowers will
dazzle’ the eyes of the visitors, and the
lovely tints of nature’s beauties will
add enjoyment to the merrys cene. '
