£THE LESSON OF THE FAIR. •
The e;;nr*s of the Northeast JGeorgia
tock and Foultry Show are closed, and
ihe Fair ground* so 1 .rely resounding
e the el:ei r* cf tile multitude, aie si
lent and dosu.rled. . ft> >- R a.
BiitJljPaftiir which has ju?t closer*
has a great am: glorious lesson which
should he taught to every citizen of
Athens, and thoroughly impressed up
on every one who loves our city’s wel-
Jarc; a lesson which will have fruit ar.
hundred fold to the good of Athens;
and whose influence will be felt years
hence in the upbuilding of the Athens
oftthe future.
That lesson is this; Whenever citi-
*ons, (it matters not how few), throw
aside all their lethargy aud in the gen
erosity ts give up their 111
business temporarily for the good of
the city, it follows inevitably that tri
umph will perch itself upon their ban
ners, and both city and individual will
bo benefited in the highest degree.
This lesson has had a forcible demon
stration in our midst in the fair which
has just closed. It has b» en the custom
to hold a fair every year: there was a
regular organization for that purpose;
but the directors said it was too late,
and hence they could not hold the fair.
It was then proposed to turn it over to
the Farmers’ Alliance aud let them
hold it, but they were too busy to do it
justice. A few eitizeus came to the
rescue, however, with a rush. r lhey
cauic determined to hold a great and
a successful fair; to help build up Ath
ens; to advertise her interests and bring
more capital into her midst; and above
all to show her citizens that a fair
could be held this year.
These men were: W. S. Holman, C.
W. Baldwin, E. T. Brown, C. D. Flan-
igen, G. T. Hodgson, 11. C. White,
John N. Booth, T. L. Gantt, John T.
Voss, and J. Y. Carithers.
What success has crowned their ef
forts a glance at the results of the fair
will tell. Despite the difficulties which
confronted them and the obstacles met
at every point, they worked steadily
on. The press aided them and the citi
zens seeing that they meant business
-came over to them and helped them to
success.
The fair gave Athens a show, the
equal of which has never been seen in
tills section of the State. Old and young,
rich and poor took a hand in it and
were greatly interested in its success
It gave Athens the longest, and most
enthusiastic demonstration she ever saw
in the great parade of Tuesday morn
ing. It gave her the largest crowd evef
assembling within her limits and on
Alliance day collected twenty thou
sand people arouud her.
It gave her attractions the like of
which she never had before.
These arc a few of the results of the
North East Georgia Fair. That it was
a benefit to Athens no one can deny. It
will bring people here to live; it will
bring money here in the future; it has
already left money here: it will enliven
business; and its influence will be felt
for some time to come.
Moreover it will start a progressive
and public spirited movement which
will develop the city and benefit its citi
zens.
Thele6son it teaches should be in
culcated on every mind. These ten di
rectors entered into this fair under
difficulties and obstacles; they worked
hard and success crowned their efforts
The same thing is in store for all.
Work must be done, and hard work at
Hi at, but in the end all will be repaid
Athens is at a crisis now, ami ncods
her citizens to work for her. Let the
lesson of the fair be taken by every cit
izen of Athens and be the criterion by
which to judge all future efforts. Unit
ed effort and aim and public spirit can
build a city great, and grand, and there
i£ no* reason why Athens should not
call her citizens into the field to help
wise her to the topmost round.
ALLIANCE DAY.
The Alliance Day at the fairlias come
and gone and as Tin: Banner had pre
dicted, it was the grandest day of the
>air. It was a perfect success in every
particular and rellects great credit both
on the directors who arranged it and
the farmers who bj- their presence
made it the complete success that it was.
The public speaking was a good op-
portunity for the farmers of North East
Georgia to get together and mutually
study their interests. Hon. {L. F. Liv
ingston’s remarks were plain and to
the point arid he gave the farmers some
pointers that they will carry home witb
them for future reference.
Alliance day has been all that it
could have been. It has brought the
farmers of Georgia together and they
have in public shown their loyalty to
their order in more ways than one.
The Alliance tripple wedding was an
evidence of how loyal the young farm
ers are to the Alliance. It will be re
membered that the Athens fair directors
first originated the idea of an Alliance
wedding in cotton bagging and thePied-
mont and Gainesville fairs took up the
idea before the Athens fair came off.
But Athens Alliance wedding day has
been the greatest success of them all
and the couples were received as tor-
dially and welcomed as heartilily as
human hospitality could give.
Athens was honored by the presence
of the thousands of AUiancemen on the
grounds, and showed her appreciation
of the honor most graciously. The cit
izens of Athens are hand in hand with
the Alliance and the AUiancemen have
been convinced of it by yesterday’s
ovation.
We fail to see how any loyal citizen;
can conscientiously oppose the paving
law for Athens upon the ground that W
is unnecessary. The paved sidewalks
are an absolute need of Athens at pres
ent. The sidewalks are in miserable
condition and the city is annually P 11
to a very great expense keeping them in
repair. This expense could be saveu
and in less than five years the pave
ments would pay for themselves. They
are a need because they would enhance
the value of property almost fifty per
cent over its present value. Again,
we need the paved sidewalks because
Athens has lingered iu the rear t>f
Georgia’s prosperous cities long
enough.
The paving law is necessary,it is just,
and it has been proved constitutional and
any citizen who carries it to the courts
will get left.
SUNDAY REST.
A congress was recently held in
Paris for the purpose of discussing the
question of Sunday rest. At the open
ing session letters were read from Pres
ident Harrison and Mr. Gladstone in
which both argue for such a day of
rest as Sunday, irrespective of any re
ligious significance that may attach to
the day. The medical and philosophi
cal aspect of the case was considered as
well as the question whether Sunday
rest was practicable, especially, in those
large centers in which work must be
carried on uninterruptedly, because
of the machinery is attended with con
siderable cost. Mr. Jules Pagny,
Brussels manufacturer, gave as his
opinion that a day of rest could be ar
ranged for in all industries and with
out a loss. There was, however, consid
erable opposition to this opinion. The
congress finally adopted the following
resolutions:
1. Sunday as a day of rc3t is possible
in all industries,but in differing degrees
Sunday is the day which best suits em
ployer and employee, as well from the
stand-point of the individual as from
that of home life. It is best to have the
day of rest the same for all as much as
possible.
2. When for technical or other reasons
it is impossible to take Sunday as a day
of rest arrangements must be made to
haye some other day set apart for the
purpose, so that.the workinau may have
52 free days in the year; these days t(
occur at as regular intervals as possible
This rest enables man to render better
work in that it refreshes his physical
powers.
The congress also recommended that
wages be not paid on Saturday or Sun
day, but on some other day, as for in-
staucc, Friday.

A Brief Confession on the Gallows.
The Boomed Man Bears Up Bravely
and Announces That He Is Going to
Heaven.
. Woodbury, N. J. t Nov. 15.—Joseph
M. Hillman was hanged in the jail here
for the murder of Herman Seideman, a
peddler, on Nov. 9, 188S.
Hillman passed his last night on earth
very peacefully, and arose bright and
He still kept up his wonderful, nerve
and when visited by Sheriff Ridgway
after breakfast, said he was feeling fine,
and all ready for the affair, but the
sooner it was over the better., He ate a
hearty breakfast of fried eggs, milk
toast and coffee, and was then shaved
by John Rachor, the barber. His father
and brother called to see him and were
admitted for the last interview before
the hanging. The Rev. Mr. Nobles and
Evangelist Carter were admitted to the
jail and until the hour of execution re
mained with him, offering him spiritual
consolation and praying and singing
with him.
Scene at the Gallows.
Escorted by the sheriff and flanked on
either side by a minister, the condemned
man came into the corridor. He was
calmer than most of the spectators, and
as he came in he cast a swift glance
around the throng and then aloft at the
gallows.
Hillman was taken to the side of the
corridor and the black cap adjusted on
his head by Hangman Van Hise, but
was not pulled down. Then he bade
good-by to the sheriff and the two cler-
8 men. kissing each affectionately on
e cheek. Then he was led over under
the gallows, and Hangman Van Hise
pinioned his arms above the elbows and
at the wrists, but the straps were not
drown tight enough as subsequent events
showed.

Sheriff Ridgway asked the condemned
man if he had anything to say, and in a

THE BASEBALL MEETINGS
•
The Longue Fettles Sutcllffa’g Cn»o—Tha i
AMfiliation Deadlock Unbroken j
New York, Nov. 15.—The deadlock
in the association meeting over the
choice of a president continued until
after having taken 128 ballots without
reaching a result an adjournment was
taken.
At the league meeting the report'of
the board of directors and the playing
rules committee were received and ac
cepted.
Mr. A. G. Spaulding, chairman of the
special committee appointed last spring
to consider grievances of league players,
then submitted the report of that com
mittee. The report quotes the corres
pondence had between ilie biotkerhood ;
officials and the league concerning tbo
alleged violation by the latter of the
agreement entered into with the broth
erhood in reference to the non-reduction
of “reserved” players. The report states
that the only instance cited by the rep
resentatives of the brotherhood as being
a violation of agreement wai that Sut
cliffe^ of the Cleveland plub, had re
ceived $2,000 salary from the Detroit
club in 1878 and had signed with the
Cleveland club for 18s9 at the classifica
tion figure of $1,750.
Mr. Spalding suggested to the presi
dent of the brotherhood that the con
ference upon this case be postponed and
that afterward when he endeavored to
bring about a conference Mr. Ward said
the brotherhood committee had been
dismissed and could not consider it.
After hearing the facts of the case the
meeting decided to pay to Sutcliffe the
alleged reduction of $250’ in hi3 salary,
although denying the justice of his
claim. The league did not consider this
solitary case of sufficient importance to
provoke a quarrel with the brotherhood.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
IA CAT!
It has been clearly ami fully demon
strated that stale exhibits, and a few
ears of corn or wheat, will never draw
a crowd or interest one if it should
come. People don’tj mind looking at ex

a good time, and this is the end to be
sought in getting up a fair. This was
done by our fair and it has been a glo
rious success.

CLOSING DAY.
PLEDGER’S BAD ADVICE.
William Pledger, the colored politi-
oian of Atlanta, will get himself into
trouble with the federal authorities if
he is not more careful with the advice
lie gives to the people of his race. He
■ oid led a conyehtion of his followers
some time ago to meet in Atlanta on
Nov 12, and subsequently announced
that the convention was postponed. A
good many of the delegates did not hear
of the postponement-, however, and
were present on the day originally
fixed for the meeting. Pledge* made, a
speech to these delegates, and among
other things he advised them to do all
they could to influence the black to shun
the censusj takers £next June/.C S0
that Georgia’s population would appear
to bo much smaller than it is. His pur
pose was, lie said, to cause Georgia to
lose several of her congressmen, as rep
resentation of congress is based upon
population.
Pledger seem3 to have forgotton ^that
the census is take under a fedeial law,
*ud it ths census is taken under a fed
eral law, aud if tlie colored people
were to act upon, his advice they would,
iu effect, be guilty of conspiring to. de
feat that law. There may be no pun
ishment for a conspiracy of that kind,
hut if therejisn’t^tliere ought to be.
1 Colored men like Pledgor are obsta
cles in the way of the progress of their
race. They have no desirejto see theii
race advance. They are guided wholly
by selfish motives, and would willingly
sacrifice the best interests of tlieir race
to gain a point for themselves. It i
doubtful if Pledger can point to a sin
gle thing in his whole career that lias
been hopeful to the colored people.—

To-day is the last day of the greatest
fair ever held in Northeast Georgia,
and large crowds of people-will go out
to see the last of the attractions.
This year has been one of plenty and
abundance, and one of glorious seasons
and bountiful harvests. It seems as
if Providence has been with the people
throughout the year, and hence the
Northeast Georgia fair was held as a
few days of festivity and rejoicing.
During this week the weather has been
propitious and the grounds have been
crowded with visitors. On Athens’
Day and on Alliance Day the throng of
people was immense, {and evinced the
interest felt in the success of the fair.
That the fair has been a great success
no one will deny. But today is the
closing day, and will be the last chance
to see the attractions. There will be
the usual attractions, such as the Wild
West, balloon ascension, races^etc. It
will be one year before the people of
this section will be offered another
show like the one now closing. Let
very one attend today and let the fai
go out in a blaze of iglory.

CUR PAVING LAW.
We are glad to see that the city is
going right along with the execution of
the new paving law, and that while
some few are complaining that it is
unjust and unnecessary the great ma
jority are endorsing the measure with
tlieir hearty co-operation and assist
ance.
There are always a few croakers to he
found to raise objections to any enter
prise that may be undertaken by a pro
gressive people and claim that it is un
necessary and therefore unjust. The
very fact therefore that , one or two
such croakers have sprung up in de
nunciation of the paving law for Ath
ens is a sufficient evidence that it is
great enterprise.
The fact that the cities of Hong Kon
or Kalamazoo or Timbuctoo have no
paved sidewalks surely cannot prove
that Athens does not need them, and
