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. our All hail the brightening prospects of ir city! Through the vistas of the fu ture we can see a mighty and progres sive city, moving with* steady motion PM - - - 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 the heart Of its owner was with' the di rectors of the fair. tion from his choice stock of groceries. 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. Haselton & Dozier-were on hand with an exhibit of pianos and organs and musical instruments. With the assis tance of some fine, local talent, excel lent music,was furnished all along the line of march. ro is ter on d roasting of by. Mr. J.

Snch were the letters arranged artic- tically over the top of Michael Bros., splendid exhibit, and casting the eye 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. HOT 'he enterprising firm of Parr, Bros., ivere out with a good display, and all sitting on the sides of the wagon with their paint bucketsand brushes in their bands.On top and above the others were three musicians with banjos and fiddles making sweet music as the procssion 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. Webb, Crawford & Co. made « dis play of groceries and canned goods. T. Fleming & Sons were in the n i- rade with a display of saws and hard ware of all descriptions. Rosenberg Spectacle Co. had an ex- iff, the jeweler was not to THE BANNER WAS THEBE. The Banner got there as usual and THE PROCESSION MOVED OFF. Down Hancock avenue it went to Thomas street, thence to Broad and up Broad to.Lvinijikiij, and still the p: cession hadn’t really gotten started. From Lumpkin to Hancock avenue again it went, and thence to Pulaski street, thence to Prince avenue up which it went to Milledgc avenue, turned around arid came back to the city. 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 and other fine steel instruments. 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. Along the line of march it was re- 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. LUCY COBR INSTITUTE EXHIBIT. The next in procession was the mo sc beautiful and most exquisite of all, per l aps, and was admired by all who saw' man was busily at work planing a bibit, and S l}© ](;fL W. C. & R. N. Snead werb there for a display of shocks. Mr. James Pittard had a display of groceries. Mr. Cobb Lampkin also had a display of groceries. The Christmas tree filled with Christ mas goods was admired on all sides, and was the display of Miss Rosa Von- derlieth. AN ORIENTAL PALACE. rough piece of lumber into proper pro portions ; another was at work over a illuming forge and beating out the iron work upon au anvil; another was get ting the pieces together, another was engaged in finishing the buggy, and the last ene was giving it a coat of pamt.lt was admired greatly by everyone, and was one of the most thorough ex hibits in tho procession. 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 t was stupendous.
