ENTHUSIASM REIGNS SUPREME-
, Success to the great fair!
That is the wish that dwells within
the breast of every man in Athens to
day, and that wish is being rapidly
fulfilled. Those who thought The Ban
ker to be the mere, filling up of a paper
in want of news find now to their sur r
prise and pleasure that they were mis
taken, and the mammoth crowd now
thronging our streets and viewing our
city is fully up to our most ardent ex
pectations. Monday niget itseemed as
if enthusiasm had reached its height in
the great street car parade, when men,
women and children turned out to do
their share towards booming the fair.
But it was not a circumstance to that
displayed yesterday morning, when
from storehouse and blacksmith shop*
from cotton warehouses and compress
walls, from the Institute and the Uni
versity, from every business and every
profession came hundreds of exhibits
and fantastic shows to make up’ one
grand line of march which voiced the
welcome of Athens to her visitors. It
was one vast surging mass, enthusiasm
stamped upon every face and praises
and shouts lingering upon every lip.
It was a day such as has never been
seen in Athens before, and in point of
Interest and earnestness such as has
never been seen in Georgia
Mild indeed would he the painting of
the picture presented by the parade if
left to the feeble expression of cold
type. It was a sight that proclaimed
the dawning of a glorious day for Ath
ens, a day in which all old and musty
ideas, that retard the growth of a town
ana clog her every step towards prog
ress, shall vanish from the sight to give
place to clearer and sounder methods.

to the pinacle of glory and leading in
the race her sister cities of Georgia.
Towards the achievement of that grand
object the fair which opened yesterday
was the first and most vigorous stride.
A VAST AND JUBILANT PARADE.
Monday night after the street car pa
rade every one went to bed with the
idea that the crowd had exhausted itself
and that the procession would not start
until late in the day. Again they were
mistaken. When the sun peeped out
from behind the eastern hills, his first
rays fell upon a host of citizens scat
tered over the town, busy with their
preparations and making ready for the
great fantastic parade.
As the time for starting approached
the crowds upon the street grew denser
and denser, and the number of floats
swelled to great proportions. Every
one was in a hurry and bustle of ex
citement, and to and fro they went in
every direction.
The place of assembling was at the
water tower and all the streets leading
to it were thronged and packed, with
people and vehicles and horses and
floats. ■ 1
At a few minutes past ten the order
was given to march and with a blast
from the horn and a piece of music from
the band
fifteen feet long and was totally cover
ed with the most lovely chrysanthe
mums and roses, and on the white sails
which fluttered in the breeze, the letters
“L. C. I.” in colored flowers had been
Worked.
The young Tadics deserve a great deal
of credit for getting up thfe lovely dis
play. It required a great deal of time
and labor, and flowers without num
ber. When it is thus seen that behind
the directors of tbe fair, are the efforts*
and inmates of Lucy Cobb Institute, no
sane man could possibly predict a fail
ure for the Northeast Georgia Stock
and Poultry Show'. This display of
floral art arid beauty was highly appre
ciated by the directors of the Fair -find
added much to the attractiveness of the
parade.
THE WILD WEST IN LINE.
/ Following the floral display ^ of the
Institute was the 1 Wild West Shdw, arid
it attracted touch attention from the
visitors and citizens. It was headed by a
stage coach, driven by a regular West
ern stage driver; and bringing to mind;
tjie thrilling scenes in the far West,
when over rocky, roads, along steep
cliffs, and through dangerous defiles of
mountains the stagecoach runs its reg
ular route, sometimes safely and some
times into the frauds of the bandits.
Following the coach, the wriiol? train
of Comanche Bill’s show rode in single;
file ‘ Comanche Bill, sitting*
erect in thesaddle, and holding in his
hand a most beautiful bridle, was at the
herd oi his horsemen. ’Next to ; him
came his wife, Mrs. Gentry; The whole
train of men and women numbered
twenty-one, and madeup a curious sight
to be seen in the city of Athens. The
horseswere riggedout in genuine prairie
style, and the lassoes hung upon the
saddles as ready for use as if the rider
.and his steed were chasing the fleeing
animal across the, plains of the West.
The trappings of the riders and horses
were elegant.
the Merchants show’ up.
All honor to t>.e merchants of Athens
who thought enough of the city’s wel
fare and future glory to close up their
stores and give one day of their busi
ness to rejoicing with thepeeplein this
year of plenty and abundance. They
were in the parade by a large ma
jority, and Athens will not forget them
when the reckoning shall come. Be
hind the Wild West Show came the dis
plays of the merchants, and these dis
plays, each and everyone, deserve es
pecial mention here. They were neatly
gotten up, and everyone show ed that

Booth Bros.’ display wai one worthy
of especial notice as being very nicely
arranged andfcalculated to catch the
the eye of the crowd. It was a display
of different meats, and on the top were
two whole hogs. On the rear end ol
the exhibit was a fat man dressed in
cotton clothes, whose weight is va
riously estimated from 500 to 1.000 lbs.
He ate Booth’s meat.
Mr. E. E. Jones displayed stoves and
tinware elegantly arrang'ed.

an exhibit of pianos and organs and

over it one was carried away wit it its
beauty. It represented a beautiful
canopy, made up of carpets and silks
and faces, arid flowers .all interwoven,
tinder which was a gorgeous throne,
surrounded by attendants and gpages.
Upon the throne sat the Alliance bride
and groom, a little boy : about three
years old, and a little girl about the
same age. The little couple were Mas
ter Ernest Michael and little Miss Floy
Harris, and in their simple robes of
flowing white, symbolic of the cotton
bagging of the Alliance, they presented
the sweetest picture of all the parade.
The attendants; were Misses Allan, Ger
trude Morris and Tensie Powers. The
pages were Maste rs Morris and M ax
Michael. This exhibit was greatly ad-
toired for its beauty and elegance.
The Reaves Warehouse had a wagon
filled with cotton and the negroes were
handling it, and the clerks stamping it
ready for shipping.
O’Farrell & Ash had one of the most
unique displays in the parade. It* was
an old-fashioned country wagon drawn
by six steers, It was loaded down with
samples of a fine stock of groceries.
The driver was an old time davkv and
the manner in which he talked to the
steers and pulled the lines over them
evoked much applause from the specta
tors. It looked like a turn-out of the
long ago. It was greatly admired.
Julius Cohen & Co., were represented
by their beautiful little delivery wagon,
gaily bedecked with white aud blue
ribbons, and drawn by two lovely
white horses. Manager Houston and
Mr. Julius Cohen were doing the driv-
ing.

roiled along.
BILLY COTTON HIT HIM.
.Messrs. J. S. King & Co. had two
displays, one of their groceries, which
was very fine, aud another of their loy
alty to the Alliance. It represented a
fight having taken place between cot
ton and jute. Jute, represented bv a
boy clothed in that substance, was ly
ing upon its back, and little Billy Cot
ton, a little hoy covered with cotton
bagging, was standing exultingly over
him. This was the description of the
fight as it appeared on the side of the
display: “Who struck old Jute Trust?
Little Billy Cotton hit him, Patsy Boli-
ver seed him do it; The Alliance sup
plied the stick, Choru>: We all heard
the lick.” This was one of the most
unique displays in the pageant.
Mr. M. M. Maddrey exhibited a num
ber of stoves.

in the parade one of our job presses was
decorated with red, white and blue,
and worked by one of our pressmen.
Circulars were printed a3 the proces
sion rolled along and distributed
through the crowd that was as thick as
could be all along every street. It was
a source of pride to the Banner to be
able to do this much ir» the procession
to show its appreciation of ■ the efiorts
the fair directors have made to give our
people a good show aud which are now
receiving a full and glorious reward,
E. I, Smith & Co., had a splendid ex
hibit in the shoe line. •
The Athens Hardware Company ex
hibited a choice selection of saws and

Talmadge Bros., came next in the
procession with a mammoth exhibit of
Neptune flour, piled up high in a large
wagon. Capt. John E. Talmadge had
charge of the display.
, Mr. J. H. Huggins was represented
by three large crates*, of crockery and
glassware,
Mr. Horace L. Cranford had his job
. press at work and was printing off "cir-
| culars for the crowd.
Mr. WmPittnian had a very tempting
and luscious exhibit. It Was a fruit
exhibit, and the elegant assortment of
fruits made many mouths water.
A WAGGON FACTORY ON WHEEL.

Klein & Martin certainly had a thor
ough exhibition of their business to
show to the people. It was verily a
a wagon factory on wliels. One work
ceived with enthusiastic cheering and
waving of handkerchiefs, and the vast
number of citizens and visitors along
the way kept up a continual hurrah for
ihe fair and everything connected with
it.
It looked like the triumphal march of
some famous warrior returning to his
home and receiving welcome and en
couragement from his loyal subjects.
The Banner man determined to see
the parade to the best advantage
perched himself in a window on Broad
street and awaited its arrival.
As the procession rounded the corner
of Thomas street a shout went up from
the multitude and proclaimed that heart
and soul of all were with the fair and its
success.
The grand procession then slowly
passed along the street.
The advance guard, made up of citi
zens, and consisting of Col. T. L. Gantt,
Chief Oliver, Capt. G. H. Yancey, Capt.
H. H. Carlton, Capt. W. B. Burnett,
Mr. W-D. O’Farrell, Mr. John Hughes,
Mr. E. I. Smith, Mr. E. B. Cohen and
Mr. F. S. Morton. They cleared tlis
way for the rest of the procession, and
presented a fine appearance on their
beautiful and fiery steeds.
B Murray’s tallylio followed beautifully,
decorated and carrying Card’s Miltary
Band.of Macon. This excellent band
was discoursing lively music and filled
every one with a spiri; of liveliness anil
energy.

Next came J. B. Toomer’3 exhibit,
and luxuriant flowors hung from every
side. On top of the canopy covering
his display of furniture was an um-
brella-sliaped mass of the most beauti
ful flowers. He also had three buggies
handsomely adorned with flowers and
filled with sewing machines.
Davison, Lowe & Shepherd followed
in a landau nicely decorated.
R. T. Brumby & Co., had on exhibi
tion one of their bottles of linment.
Mr. W.L. Henley displayed a choice
selection of fancy’ groceries.
Mr. D. W. McGregor sitting beside
Old Santa Claus, was driving his ex
hibit of books, which was very nicely
gotten up. On one side was a very
huge* Bible above which was written :
“The secret of the world’sprogress.”
Mr. A. O. Lyndon, the stovier, had
display of tinware and stoves which
reflected the sun’s rays in a thousand
directions. It was dazzling.
Talmadge & Brightwell’s hardware
exhibit was excellent. It was made
up of plows, harrows, rakes, etc.
GY’arrel & Fu nkenstiori displayed au
I elegant assortment of chairs and other
l furniture.
Mr. G. H. Hulme displayed a selec-
M. Myers & Co. were in the parade
with a most beautiful display. It. com
pared favorably with any of the exhib
its and was viewed with delight by all
the people. It represented an Oriental
palace and was elegantly fitted up to
suit what.it represented. It was hand
somely adorned with rich lace and col
ored carpets. Inside of the canopy
were many fantastic figures which
bowed continually to the audience. It
Was ranked among the most elaborate
arid lovely parts of the parade.
The Rucker Compress . had a bale of
cotton with scales and a weigher near
by. On it were the words: “I weigh
as much as my neighbor.”
THE THREE STAGES OF COTTON.
The display of the Henderson Ware
house was simple and rustic in its na
ture, yet filled with suggestive ideas
and touching scenes. The first part
was a wagoh on which was an old time
lot of darkies perched ona bale of cot
ton. The darkies were plowing the
cotton, and were happy i» the pursuit
of this work. The second w’as a wagon
with another bale of cotton on it and on
top of this were a lot of little boys who
were hoeing it. The little boys were
tho children of the Messrs. Hodgson and
were in their glory on the bale of cot
ton in the midst of the procession.
The third was a number of little girls
on top of'a bale of cotton with their
white - cotton bonnets drawn over tlicir
wavy locks. The little girls had a sack
each and were pickingihe cotton. The
three stages of cotton growing; plow
ing, hoeing, and picking. And the
bales had been co'mprcssed and wore in
the procession.
HE HAD THE “POSSUMS.”
Next came one of the most amusing
sights in the pageant and one that elic
ited much laughter, because it was of
such a laughable nature. An old dar
ky of ’01 had evidently been foolish
enough to put jute on his cotton, and
consequently when he carried it to the
Henderson Warehouse Co. he couldn’t
get in. The display represented him as
he went on home. His vehicle was a
two-wheel concern like a cart; it was
old and shabby. A poor old steer tugg
ed along with what must have seemed
to him a terrible heavy load. Behind
the negro was his little bale of cotton,
and it was covered with jute which was
torn and tattered. He was,going home,
but] was not left out, however. He still
had his “possum” and his dog. There
on the bale of cotton ivere three large,
greasy “possum3,*‘
THE ALLIANCE KNIGHT.
Messrs. R. L. Moss & Co. donned the
armor of chivalry in the parade. Just
as the chivalric Ivanhoe entered the
lists in defense of the wronged
Rebecca so the brave and valiant
knight of cotton bagging lias taken the
shield of the Alliance and the trusty
sword of that order, and has gone forth
ro fight for the rights of the oppressed
farming class. The display of Messrs.
Moss & Co. was that of a knight array
ed fn cotton bagging and having a
sword anil shield upon which the word
■Alliance;was printed. It was roundly
applauded wherever it went.
Mr. J. K. Carithers was out in a sulky
drawn by a steer.
FANTASTIC’S, FUN AND FROLIC.
The business part of the parade was
through with and then came the fan
tastic parade.
Ridiculous! The word hardly ex
presses the description of its appear
ance. About one hundred men and
boys wqre.attired in fantastic rigs and
oaine riding by. There were those who
looked like old men, those who looked
like young men; who looked wise, and
those who looked foolish; and in the'
general mixture Of colors, clothes and
completion of events, the sight was a
ludicrous one to behold. There was a
couple driving a steer and holding out a
flag bearing the inscription, “Hard
times in Ireland;”.there was the negro
dude in all his glory with his single-
barreled glass and five cent walking
stick; there was the imitator of Com
anche Bill with liis long flowing locks;
tben^ rode past the old shambling, half
starved darkey attired in ragged cos-
iumeuthem came the wild Irishman
with his handsome face hunting some
clock to stop; then the merry clown as
he cut tip his antics to the amusement
of the crowd, also it never would never
do to forget Undo Hayseed as he-rode
by with his yellow umbrella; nor could
we afford to pass unnoticed the sancti
fied -fid lady as she imagined she was
riding out to choreh.
Ti.. costumes were of all kinds and
descriptions. Some were scanty and
others abundant; some were of sable
color, others were 'quite gaudy; some
were ragged, others imperial. It was
one grand intermixture of color and
figure and ridiculous antics.
The University boys were on hand as
usual, arid seemed to, enjoy themselves
more than any other crowd in the pro
cession. They were in a large wagon,
had tin horns, and made everything
around them resound to their melodious
notes.
WHEN SHALL IVE THREE MEET AGAIN?
The witch in Macbeth uttered thes
words originally, and the weird sisters
in the cave amidst a war of elements
were certainly horrible sights to look
upon. Today, however, these words
were applied to a different purpose, to
a party of celebrities in our fair city
who came along in the procession,
Old Tom Dooly, the city scovenger
is well known by the people. He has
a beaver he is particularly fond of wear
ing, and delights to fuss with small
boys. Tom was on his cart'but he had
distinguished company. There was
“Jack,” and who in Athens does not
know Jack? And Tub was there with
bis organ grinding aivay and making
sweeter music to his ears than Card’s
Band. When, indeed, shall these three
meet again? It ivas a sight worth see
ing and they ivere eyed by the crowd
by a great deal of curiosity as they
passed along in the procession. They
seemed to enjoy it highly, too, and
Tom might have thought he was haul
ing ti-ash to the trash pile again.
DORSEY AND BALDWIN.
The parade was closed with a couple
composed of Mr. E. II. Dorsey and 0.
W. Baldwin. Mr. Dorsey was blacked
ind dressed np according to the latest;
fashion. Col. Baldwin was attired in a
Mother Hubbard arid wore a hat the
width of which was three feet. He
sinih d constantly upon the crowds and
was the recipient of milch attention.
He humified several proud hearts in the
dust and brought many lovers as sub
jects to his feet.
Capt. C. G. Talmadge, as marshal of
the day, deserves a great deal of credit
for'the* excellent manner in which he
managed the long procession. He
kept in perfect order and management,
and by his efforts the parade was help
ed in many respects.
THE 1 CROWD.
rho.erowd-that thronged the streets
is variously estimated as to numbers.
li very street along which the proces
sion passed was. thronged with people,
and all the yards were .well filled. The
grounds were, well crowded and taking
a liberal estimate there must have been
ten thousand people on the' streets, arid
taking all who attended tho fair to-day,
we fuel safe in saying that 15 thousand
people were here.
EVERYTHING IS PRAISE.
Praise is on every lip for the
great parade and beuHtiful pageant.
The directors are complimented on all
sides, and the universal verdict is that
the parade was the grandest affair of its
kind ever held in a Southern city
When we consider that over seveaty-
five exhibits and displays together with
other things made up part of the
parade, while hundreds of people made
up the other, that.it reached nearly two
miles in length, and from one end to
the other was a bundle of enthusiasm
