OUR LATE FAIR. The Attack by the Jackson Herala. Tbe last issue of the Jackson Herald is very severe in its censure of the late fairia our city. We have already en sured its strictures, and do not deem fui tlicr reply necessary, but for auotli- ei article accusingthe managers of not acting in good faith About the alliance wedding from Banks countv; and ac- ceptingcouples who did not belong to* the order. The directors held their of fer open to Mr. Tho up. jn’s friends un til the last moment, and only received an indefinite promise. A notice was published asking that parties send in their names at once, as the offer could not be kept open longer. The next day the two couples from Banks, and one from Oglcthope came in person and were accepted. Mr.Pruitt had nothing whatever to do with the fair, but he wrote to Mr. Thompson explaining ilie matter. The directors accepted two more couples than they desired, but as the parties were in the city, and thpy did not want to disapoint them. Xo restriction was made til the contract ing parties shouxd belong to the alliance. The offer was open to any who would con sent to marry in cotton bagging on the fair gronuds - Our impression is that the Farmers alliance is opposed to all manner of trusts, and of course would not try to get up a corner on matri mony. So far as our fair is concerned, all those who paid their admissson ex pressed themselves as well pleased with the exhibition, ahd they are the class the directors sought to satisfy. So far as tho Herald’s slur about “Mex ican greasers” we will state that one of said “Greasers” was a refined and cul tured lady, closely related to some of tue best families in Jackson and adja cent counties. IvAny honorable man who will say that the fair was’nt worth the price of admission can have liis money refunded by application to the direct ors who are all gentleman and not lot of swindlers, hoarded together to defraud the public. som e "constitution folks. Henry W. Grady, tbe Tregan * Big Atlanta Daily, H. W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, is a stout, black-haired", black-eyed man of thirty-nine, and can appear either fifteen or fifty. He is of an elastic temperament and believes in relaxation, works like a Trojan find frol ics with the ::est of a boy. When he gets through with his mail in the morn ing he comes iuto the room where Wal lace Reed, Joel Chandler Harris and the other members of theeditorial force are engaged, and breaks up their work for fifteen minutes. Sitting on Mr Harris’ desk, he brings everybody a round him, and the audience is regaled with jokes, and a running- satire on current events. The entertainment winds up with the suddenness of a com pany on double-quick coming to a halt. All at once Mr. Grady puts on a serious face and retires to his room, slamming the door behind him. With his stenog rapher Mr. Grady is closeted for an hour or so. ‘The amount of work he will get through in an hour is astonish ing. In a tew minutes he will lay out a week’s work for his staff. He is lost for a day or two, then comes into the office some morning with a sparkling quotation from the speech that is to be At such times he asks every man’s criti cism, but no one can suggest an im provement. Some of his matchless pas sages are envolved in the presence ef his stenographer. Walking the room and gesticulating as if before an audi ence, he rolls them out as fast as Jim can take them down. The superb ex ordium of his Virginia speech, which Mr. Dana pronounced the loftiest style of poetry, was poured out in this way without a halt. Mr. Grady is Intense ly social, and a large part of his time is given to tnose who come to call on him during the day. There is hardly one of these callers who does not pay his tribute of news. If he knows any thing it comes out. To his friends Mr, Grady is intensely partisan, and to his enemies a dangerous man. He works on big enterprises but can go through details with amazing rapidity. His personal aquaintance is cyclopaedic, and lie knows something about everybody. For a man with an imagination he can digest figures with wonderful quick ness and precision. It would take a world’s fair to fully occupy him. He is an optimist at heart, hates croakers, and his hobby is development.—Cur rent Literature. ; Harmony Grove Notes, Harmony Grove, Nov. 23—’Squire Martin Luther McDonald, a prominent planter of Banks county, was in town yesterday.

A Banner reporter xvalked up one of the streets yesterday morning and stopped at nearly every group of men he met. And less than four-fitlis of them were talking about the fair and the o-ood results already showing them selves. It all shows that the effect of tho fair upon the people is not a trans ient one, but deep rooted and lasting.

An Enthusiastic Meeting. blood, nerves and complexion. The Athens Publishing Company lias perfected organization, and by Decem ber 1st the new paper will make its appearance. The stock holders held a meeting in tho city co incil chamber yesterday af ternoon, and settled up the business in final and definite shape. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Geo. T.

The full amount was quickly subscrioed and the subscriptions were all received and de clared binding. A meeting of the sub scribers was called and the .corporators adjourned. The elections for tho officers of the Athens Publishing Company were tak en up and resulted as follows: Mr. Geo. D. Thomas for President and Messrs. Geo. T. Murrell, M Myers. W. D. O’Farrell, E. R. Hodson, C. G. Talmadge. directors. The vote was a a large one, there being 228 votes cast. On motion of Mr. Gantt the capita! stock was increased to $20,000, by a unanimous vote. There being no fur ther business to be transacted the meet ing adjourned subject to a call of the president. This has virtually settled the matter of the consolidation of the two papers definitely and warrants the establish ment of a first class daily for Athens. It was the biggest day’s work for tl -e future welfare and prosperity of Ath ens that has been achieved for years,, for there is nothing more calculated to increase the progress of a city than a first class newspaper. . There is no reason why Athens can not have as good a daily for its terriio- as any city in the South. We believe the present incorportion can give Ath ens a paper that shall not only be of un limited benefit to the city in its future growth and development but will be a credit to the city.

The name of the paper will be “The Athens Banner.” The Business Manager and Directors will on Monday make a-thorough can vass of the city for stock subscriptions, and will try and interest every citizen in the paper. An investigation of the business showed it to be in a prosperous condi tion, and handsome dividends are ex pected. ASTBANGE ANIMAL, Running Will in Madison County Startles • the Natives, Mr. T. J. Po?3, a citizen of Madison county was in the city yesterday, and told t~ most startling narrative of a strange wild animal thatisnow“raising Cain in his neighborhood.” The beast has been seen several times by the citizens in that section, and is of such descriptiou that no- one has yet been able to tell what species of quad- ruped it is. y' '" It is three or four feet in length,has a gray bushy tail, and make sa half bark and half howl whenever seen, and darts away in the twinkling of an eye. The queer animal has been playing havoc with chickens and turkeys and has whipped several dogs that made an attack on it. The people in that vicin ity are greatly excited over the appear ance of the frightful and unknown beast and yesterday a party of twenty-fire farmers went out in search of the ani mal. The negroes are frightened be yond their senses and children will not venture out of doors scarcely in fear of the sudden appearance of the unknown hut dreaded animal. No one can say what the the thing is Some say it is a wolf, others a moun-’ tain lion, while some are sure it is a <*ross between a wild cat and a polar bear, but the prevailing opinion Is that the best name for it is a “What-is-it.” Whatever it be it has stirred up much consternation among the farmers of that neighborhood, and every effort will be made to kill it in its wild ca reer.

An old gentleman from Banks county informs us of a rather singular—mar- riage, divorce and remarriage,of an old couple in this county some years ago. i’here lived near Homer a quiet gen tleman of Scotch decent and a strict L’reshyterian. This gentleman and his vviie seemed to live happily together and raised several children who were gfown at the time the separation took place. One day while some of the neighbors were visiting the family something was said about one of the children’s not favoring the balance of t^e family. This caused the trouble and the separation. " After the visitors had left the argument was kept up be tween husband and wife and the more they talked the further apart they went. T^Uey at last agreed to live under tbe same roof but never to speak to each oiner under any circumstances. None of the neighbors knew of the disturbance ahd both would sit at the table and en tertain their friends and no one could detect that there was anything wrong. This went on for twelve long years and at last the husband brought the matter before some of -his brethren in. the church and they advised a reconcilia tion and a remarriage, which was done, and the old couple traveled down life’s hill pleasantly until they reached the endr THE 0-, c. &n. ROAD. The Engineering Corps Nearing the City Limits. Yesterday Maj. Morrison and his corps of engineers were this side the Middle Oconee river, and to-day they will probably reach the incorporate limits. They are locating the line, and in a very short .time tl c contract will bj* given out for gradi ■:% between the Savannah river and Atlanta. Anothuj corps is working between Jug Tavern and Lawrenceville. This is the winding up of the survey. The line from Jug Tav ern to Athens has been slightly chang ed.

A doctor saved the women, but Mrs Strang remained in a state of great nervous-excitement. Dur ing the temporary absence of Mr. Strang she filled two tumblers with a solution of Paris green and, handing one to her daughter Maud, aged eighteen, and taking the other herself, she drank her own dose and forced, the girl at the muzzle of a revolver to .also swallow the draught. Physciians were called but the poison had done its work. Mrs. Strang died at about midnight in horrible agony, and Maud died an hour or two later. Maud insisted to the last that her mother had forced her to take the poison, and said she died not want to die, and she begged piteously of her friends the physician to save her life. Mrs. Strang was a prominent member of the Methodist church, while Maud was organist in the same church. CAMPAIGN PONDS. The Suffrage-Sellers Very Sore Over the Nomination. The negroes in Athens who have for years made big money selling their votes and ’fluence, are very sore over the whites nominating candidates for municipal offices, and feel like they have been greatly wronged. Several old leaders are loud In their complaints and did their best to get enough blacks to register to control the election. But this yerr the candidates would not pay their taxes, and the negro voters are in a hopeless minority, that will grow beaut’fully less each year. . From now on nominations will be made for every office. Andy Prather says half the ne gro houses were built with money paid for votes by candidates. One office holder tells us that his place cost him several huedied dollars more than he has ever gotten out of it. ATHENS’ FDTORE. Bhe Will be One of the Great Cities of the South. A Bannkr reporter met Capt. C. G. Talmadge yesterday morning on his tour of news-gathering and asked him for his quota of news. He replied that business was great and news scarce, but Athens was all right. “When the G. C. & N. gets here,” said the Captain, “and we have electric lights, and a new’ hotel, and a great newspaper, you will see Athens one of the greatest cities in the South, and one whose future will be a brilliant one. I believes these things will all be seen in side of two years, and tlie citizens of Athens have now’ gotten tbe right move on them to accomplish this.” It is encouraging to hear such words from such men as Capt. Talmadge. It proclaims a great future for our city. — Quick, safe and sure. This is said of Salvation Oil, tbe great rheumatic rem edy and greatest cure on earth for pain.

TW 0 NEGROES IN OCONEE ENGAGE IN A DEADLY FIGHT. Lon Robinson Hills John Owens With a Knife—He Declares It was a Case of Self Defense, News of a frightful tragedy comes to us from Oconee county. Last Monday night two negroes, John Owens and Lou Robinson got into a fuss over some petty quarrel on the plantation of Mr. Steve Branch in Oco nee near Farmington and it proved a deadly encounter before the whole matter was edend. John Owens seems to have been the agressive man in the fight and graspin° r a fence rail struck Lon Robinson on the head two or three successive blows with such rapidity that Robinson was una ble to return any of his antagonist’s blows. He was knocked down and re ceived a frightful gash in his forehead: but so soon as he regained his strength and sense, he leaped upon Owens and with a large pocket knife stabbed him mercilessly In the right shoulder and in the low'er part of the stomach. The nearest physician was sent for who dressed the wounds of both the wound ed men. Since that time both parties “ a T® he<m laid up from the effects of their fight. Owens was very sick and gradually grew worse until yesterday morning when he died. Robinson is still at Mr. Branch’s plantation and is slowly recovering from his wounds. He has" no fear of being punished by law for the killing of owens as he asserts that he did it in self defense, and all who witnessed the fight say it was a clear case of self de fense. ' { W£ ^ ■ . . . ' IS THE PRIZE TWO SYSTEMS ARB AFTER, THE ONLY LINE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE ROBINSON SYSTEM FROM PORTSMOUTH, VA., TO PALATKA, FLA. I The Dunlap Verdict. The general impression in Athens is that it was an outrage against the N. E. railroad to give to engineer Dun lap a verdict for $7,000. Policeman Culp says he was drunk when the acci dent occured, and other witnesses testi fied that he was drinking all day. The accident is clearly traceable to his care lessness. It has come to a nice pass when a railroad engineer has to be paid for getting drunk and endangering the lives of passengeis. THE COLOREDFAIR Panning Out Poorly—The Saratoga Horses Got Left. The colored fair is ajlosing investment this year, as the attendance is. very small and. the attractions few and far between. Several side shows were induced to remain over, but they are not dbing enough to pay for the wear and tear of their canvass. The proprietors are very despondent and are auxious to move to better fields, > A darkey brought some Saratoga hor ses and sec his game up in the exhibition hall, but at last accounts he had taken in only fifty cents, and; paying $2 per day privilege. He is swamped, end yesterday wrote the owner for money to get away.on. TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS. The Atlanta Constitution has the fol lowing: There is another big railroad deal on foot. The Covington and Macou railroad is the prize for which the Richmond and Danville and tlie Georgia, Carolina and Northern systems are competing, and it comes from good authority that both have made liberal offers for this con nection which will give the successful bidder an entrance m middle Geergia. For the Georgia, Carolina and North ern, it will complete a line from Ports mouth, Va., to Palatka, Florida. Mr. E. C. Maehen did not tell all the railroad news he-knew when he was in the city the .other day. Since he left it comes straight that Alexander Brown and company, of Baltimore, who took the bonds of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern, the Covington and Macon, and the Georgia Southern 'and Florida roads, have offered the stockholders of the Covington and Macon a guarantee of three per cent dividend on their stock for control of the road. The te .-m of the guarantee, it is said, is lift; years. It comes from another liig) source that the Richmond and Danville road has offered the stockholders a six per cent guarantee for the control of Covington & Macon. Mr. Maehen, who owns a majority of the stock, has gone to New York, and it is thought he will trade before he re turns. Alexander Brown & Co. will doubtless go as far in inducements as the Richmond & Danville, or farther, for the Macon and Covington is all that is needed to give them control of a line from Portsmouth, Va., to Palatka, Fla. This line includes the Seaboard and Roanoke, the Raleigh and Gaston, the Ra»eigh and Augusta, the South Caroli na Central, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern, now building from Monroe, N. C., to Athens and Atlanta, the Covington & Macen, from Athens to Macon, and the Georgia, Southern and Florida, fr*m Macon via Valdosta to Palatka, Florida. They control all this lino now .but tl e Co vington and Macon, gml will go £ good way to get that. The Richmond and Danville, on the other jiafjxL by ‘getting the Covingfcai\ .-isd ijjpicqn would shut out its most formidable rival and gain access to middle Georgia at Macon. Between the two Mr. Maehen is likely to get something like par for his stock, with the dividend guarantee of six per cent. This will make him from a half to a million dollars. Considering that he started a year or two ago with A side of meat and a box of crackers, this is not doing badly. An interesting feature of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern extension into Georgia is the report which eomes from a well informed source that Captaia W. J.

On Thursday, Alliance day, there were 20,000 visitors there—the largest crowd that ever was seen in Ath ens. All the railroads had more people than they eould well handle, and the trade in the Classic City was never bet ter. We heard a young Athenian say that there were more pretty girls there than he ever s..\v before. Three couples were married in cotton bagging. The opening parade, which was a mile long was the most attractive feature ever presented on a similar occasion. We are proud to know that our friends of this growing little eity were so successful.

From a Trestle Athens was all astir early yesterday morning over the report that a woman had been killed by the North Eastern north bound passenger train on the trestle across the Oconee river several miles from the city. The train left Athens at 7:10 aud by eight the rumor had seized the whole town. The coronor summoned a jury and repaired to the scene to find that it was a colored woman named Ann Top- liu, a well known and aged woman. Tbe coroner held an inquest and for a time it was hard to find the real cause of the sudden death. The jury after a complete investigation rendered the fol lowing verdict: >!. “We the juryjin the case of Ann Top- iiii deceased, now lying dead before us, find that the deceased came to her death bv falling from a trestle.
