AN .UNKIND SLUR.
The Washington Gazette’s Editor on
Athens’JFair.
In the last issue of the Washington
{Ga.) Gazette its editor contemptuous
ly speaks of the Northeast Georgia
Stock and Poultry Show as the rehash
h yery poor circus, or words of simi
lar effect. We presume that Mr. Collen
is the author of the squib, as lie was iy
attendance on our fair. Our citizens did
everything in their power to make his
stay pleasant, and as the Athens mer
chants have always been generous pat
rons of his paper we cannot see occasion
'for his unjust attack. This is not the
first time, however, that the Gazetter s
editor has gone off half-cocked sind. had
afterwards to acknowledge gthat he was
in the wrong, for only a few months
since he made a serious charge against
a worthy and estimable young lady who
was trying to earn an honest living in
this city, and was waited upon hy her
friends, when he made the amends hon
orable. We hope he will do our fair
pirectors and the Athens merchants a
similar act of justice.
To be°in with the directors of our
fair stated that they had no time to get
np exhibits, buc advertised five days of
fun and enjoyment. To supply this they
went to an expense of nearly $o,0U0, a
larger sum of money than was ever ex
pended by a county fair ra the South.
From 12 o’clock in the day until dark
some new attraction was kept in front
of the grand stand, and the visitor who
did not receive full value for his money
must have a very poor appreciation.
Mr. Collins is 'one of the last men to
complain, for he was presented with a
free ticket of admission by the direc
tors, and if the exhibition proved a boro
to his refined and sensitive nerves the
.gates' were ever open for his exit. We
gave the Wild West show, that was in
itself well worth 50 cents to witness.
Then there was the most thrilling bal
loon ascensions and paraehute leaps
over witnessed, winding up with some
of the best horse races ever seen in tlie
South. There were other special at
tractions, such as the alliance marriages
and other interesting;scenes. The Ga
zette’s editor is the first person we have
yet heard to deny that our fair was {one
of the best ever held in Georgia.
Mr. Colley is a clever gentleman, and
we believe that he will see his error and
withdraw his unkind reflection upon
gentlemen who did all in their power
to help their city and give the people a
good exhibition. The direetors did not
get up the fair tojmake.money themselves
Had the weather been unfavorable they
would have lost heavily. Any honest
man who does not think he has been
given value received for his 50 cents^can
have his money refunded to him. The
Gazette is the only paper that has
not pronounced our fair a grand suc
cess.
BOYCOTTING THE DRUMMERS.
The Alliancemen Think They are a
Burden on the Country.
The alliancemen in some of the cou-
ties west of Savannah are boycotting the
“drummers” said a traveling man last
night. “They claim that the drumh
roers are a burden to the merchants.
It is urged now that the farmer’s only
means *f avoiding this encumbrance is
to patronize their own stores.
The traveling man in talkiug over the
matter was not illiberal at all. He be
lieved that if anybody should be pro
tected it is the farmer, but he question
ed the wisdom of a boycott. At a con
vention of notable business men held in
some of the northern cities a short time
AfO, the duties of drummers were clear
ly defined, and it is not plain how the
commerce of the country would con
tinue if they were deposed. They are
developers they act as collectors: they
are clerks during the dull seasons: they
are encyclopedias of the standing of
firms; they are intelligencers and a
thousand other things that serve to
make them necessary. They are a
source of great convience t* the coun
try merchants.
The drummer did not believe that
the boycott will amou: it to much. He
told however, of a : case of boycott upon
a barber in one of the small towns np
the Central which proved effectual in
making the barber “turn up his heels”
The farmers endeavored to make the
barber reduce his price to them. He
refused tilling them that their custom
did not warrant it; that he depended
upon local patronage: that their work
would net support him. Itncensed at
this presumption, as they termed it,
they imported a barber, and after fitting
him np they told, the merchants that if
they patronized- the other barber they
would withdraw'their trade. The con
sequence was, the alliance barber did all
the business and the other man closed
up and left town.
IN SILKEN CORDS.
Mr. Willie Weatherly, of Athens. Harried
to Miss Alice Geer, of Bairdetown.
A happy marriage took place
Wednesday evening at the residence of
Capt. Geer, of Bairdstown. I Athens
and Bairdstown were joined in silken
cords by the marriage of Mr. Willie
Weatherly to Miss Alice Geer. At
8 o’clock promptly the attendants en
tered followed by the bride and groom.
The attendants were:

The Street Commissioner Thoroughly
Renovating the Sidewalks and Princi
pal Streets.
It is gratifying to every citizen of
Athens who feels a pride lor his city to
note the wonderful improvements that
are now being made on the streets and
sidewalks,
Street Commissioner Barnett is at
work putting down the brick pave
ments before the churches and resi
dences along the principal streets, and
will soon have a paved side walk the
whole length of Hancock and Prince
Avenues. Beside this he is putting
down a number of crossings all over the
city and in this way is greatly adding
to the appearance and convenience of
sidewalks. These crossings are made
by filling in and elevating the passage
with pulverized stone and granite and
covering this over with sand. They
are substantial and convenient crossings
and are great improvements to the city’s
streets.
Mr. Barnett will continue the work of
paving the sidewalks according to the
orders of the city council and soon we
will have pavements on every princi
pal street in the city.
U.S. COMMISSIONER BURBANK.
LOVE'S LABOR NOT LOST.
He'd Hl« First Court Saturday.
Athens has a new court now that she
didn’t have until a short time since.
Mr. E, L. Burbank, one of our most
genial and clever citizens, was appoint
ed U. S. Commissioner ,a few weeks
ago, and on last Thursday opened his
court here. The first parties before
him were three men from Jackson coun
ty who were up for retailing liquor.
Commissioner Burbank will do good
service in this oflice, and his appoint
ment is a merited compliment to a wor
thy gentleman.
Athens has needed such an officer
for sume time, because men who were
arraigned for many offenses against
the government hadjto be carried all.the
way tb Gainesville or Atlanta to be
tried. Now matters will be in a better
shape and those who are unfortunate
enough to get into trouble will not
have to go to Atlanta to get a new trial.
No better choice could have been made
In the selection of a commissioner, and
all cases coming up in this- court will
be disposed of with the utmost fairness
a id without delay.
Jefferson Notes,
Jefferson, Nov. 18.-—Judge N. L.
Hutchins is quartered at the Howaid
house, ready to convene the superior
court this a. in.
Our people are all home again after
a pleasant visit to the Athens fair for
, the-past week, and the Martin Institute
is proud of the elegant appearance
of Mr. Gunnels in the cotton wedding.
Joe’s wedding like his conduct in school
was just splendid.
SB “She Stoops to Conquer” will be
played at the Martin Institute Hall
Tuesday night. Miss Furlow Ander
son, of Athens, will take the leading
role.
Another Park.
Mr. John T. Yoss told us this morn
ing that he would have a park of his
own ready to open to the public by the
first of next May, and that it would be
a beauty . He lias his eye upon two or
three places and as soon as he can de
cide upon the place he will set to work
beautifying it and making it a place of
beauty and attraction. He will run his
street car line to the place and will till
it with attractions which will draw the
people to it. It will be one of the most
pleasant resorts around Athens next
year.
MAGIC MACHEN
^The gates of the Northeast Georgia
Stock and Poultry Show were closed
last Saturday evening after a week of
unbounded success, and pleasant mem
ories of the fair was all that lingered in
the minds of those who attended it.
From every section of the State visitors
had poured into our - midst: from the
rocky gorges of Rabun to the pebbled
beach of the Atlantic; from the muddy
waters of the Chattahoochee to the
banks of tlie rolling Savannah came
friends to help us out with our great
enterprise. They received- the full
value of the money they expended in
coining here, and after a w eek of en
joyment went home fully repaid for
tlieir visit. Now, after the excitement
of the week has .passed and \vc come to
review the results in calmness, which
has been beneficial to our people and
the people of our section? A casual
glance at w’hat has been done will suffice
to show that the fair has been' ; of more
value to Northeast Georgia than the
most ardent hopes expected.
*„*
w
Commencing at home, what has it
done for Athens ? It has done much.
It has given an impetus to every busi
ness within her gates, and stamped in
indelible letters upon every enterprise
the magic name of “Progress.” Speak
ing with several business
men yesterday, we found that the gen
eral estimate of good done Athens and
Northeast Georgia in a financial sense
reache upward of a quarter of a million
dollars. The fair brought many visi
tors to our city; it filled our hotels with
inmates even to overflowing, and many
had to be turned off from lack of room;
it kept our merchants eyer on the move
to satisfy the demands of the busy
throng which tilled their establishments
day by day; it kept our merchants at
work supplying the mass of people with
food for the winter, anti that at the
very cheapest prices in our section; it
kept our street car men # and omnibus
lines running here and tliere continu
ally, conveying the people from point
to point; it kept the.city in a bii3tle of
excitement and enthusiasm which end
ed in success and glorious achieve
ments.'
***
It would he foolish, indeed, to meas
ure the results of the fair by the stand
ard of financial success. True it is that
it made money; true that a great deal
was left here; but of what signifi
eance is that when we come to compare
it with what we may term the genuine
success of the enterprise. It was not for
the sake of coiniug money and reap
ing financial rewards that tlie directors
of the fair labored so hard for its suc
cess ; not for this purpose that the Ban
ner devoted its time and -attentiou to
wards its aid; not for this purpose that
the people of this section came out to a
man and rendered their share of service
to this enterprise—not by any means.
It was to show tlie State what our peo
ple could do that the interest was taken
in our fair: to show everyone that with
hands together and l^arts heating in
union, the people of Northeast Georgia
were equal to any emergency that
might arise; ready and willing to sac
rifice time and labor for tlie good of
their section; and determined to reap
success over whatever obstacles might
be in tlieir path.
The result of the fair on this particu
lar point tells but one thing, and that
is that unity of aim and action could
accomplish anything. Athens to-day
has her fighting ranks closed up anil
ready for the fray. Northeast Georgia
has seen what she can do and is ready
to do her share. This is one of the
grand and glrious results of our recent
fair.
Homer Items.
Special to Banner.
Homer, Ga. Nov. 19.—A large num
ber of our citizens attended the fair in
Athens last week, and enjoyed it huge
ly. Some of them lost tickets, money,
and themselves which they have not
since heard from.
The workmen have almost completed
the new cover an the court house.
A giant Justice court was held in
Washington district last Saturday, and
it is said some of the boys got a little
tipsy andfought until about sundown.
Everybody wants to know what
Banks county is mad aboat. She must
have had plenty of good things at the
Fair. She certainly showed her colors
there. Everyone was allowed to do as
they saw proper, and why switch, or
make like she is switching her tail and
flinging her head.
Proposes to Build an Electric- Rail
way From Atlanta te Savannah,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.—The most
dazzling railroad scheme in years came
to light here to-day.
E. C. Machen, known as “Magic
Machen,” the man who built the Cov
ington and Macon railroad, is in charge
of a scheme to build an electric stan
dard guage railway from Atlanta to the
sea, at or near Savannah.
Work has begun oh a road between
Eatonton and Machen, a distance of
17 miles, and on this electricity will
be first tested. If it works well ft will
be applied to the whole line of one hun
dred ana fifty miles.
The capitalists backing Machen are
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago
parties who believe m electricity for
railroads and have the money to test
it.
_ This route is selected because of the
rich environment and immense motor
power with which to generate electrici
ty. On the Ocmulgee, Little river,
South river and other streams on the
route, Machen estimates the water
power at sixty-five thousand horse.
This, it is thought, will generate elec
tricity enough to move all trains that
can run over the road.
The construction will be such that or
dinary locomotives can be used in the
emergency, and the road will have
steam equipment as a reserve power.
It is not decided yet whether storage
batteries or overhead batteries will be
used. Machen goes to New York in a
few days to confer with electrical ex
perts who claimed to have solved the
problem of transportation by eleetrici
ty. Machen docs not disclose the back
ers, but it is thought they are men who
have backed him in the Macon and
Covington road.

of Athens rfind her neighbors have
struck up a livelier friendship than ever
existed, and hand to hand in the future
will ga along lighting and winning vic
tories for the rich and fertile and glori
ous section of Northeast Georgia.
What lesson did the Farmers’ Alli-
ince and the .farmers of this section
draw,from the fair? Was it not the
plainest .kind -of teaching that in all
that they do now and in all that they
do in the future,which shall look to the
upbuilding of the agricultural class and
the benefiting of those who teap the
golden and snowy harvests fr6m off our
fertile fields, the heart and hand of Ath
ens and her people are with them to aid
and assist in every possible way. The
farmers came 'and in the most solemn
manner proclaimed their allegiance to
the order, and the marriage vows taken
on Thursday by three couples hut
servej; to illustrate the devotion with
which the farmer clings to the alliance
***
It is a good thing for the people to
meet together occasionally and ex
change ide,is, and the fair was a happy
medium through which the farmers
spoke to the people of Athene From
that friendly conversation and inter
change of ideas, the farmer and the cit
izen separated with a better knowledge
of each others affairs, and in every .way
benefited. As one of our most progres
sive yonng, citizens said yesterday, “it
is not for the money left here or sent
awiiy that we shoutd*be thankful; it is
for the stirring up of the people to the
appreciation of their condition and the
grand results to be accomplished by
them in the present and the future.”
*** ' *
Now while the people are -alive to-the
importance of action, let the first blow
be struck.. Now is the time to do good
and effective work. While enthusiasm
is seen on every side and progress is
printed above every door in Athens;
while the lesson of the fair is still fresh
upon the memory of our citizen*, and
the spirit of advancement is stalking
abroad; now in this auspicious present
let the good work go on. The Banner
wishes to see the citizens of Athens ever
in the line battling for the good of our
city. and by tlieir united aim and unit
ed efforts bringing about those results
which shall transform Athens into a
large and prosperous city and make the
fertile, smiling valleys of Northeast
Goorgia to blossom as the rose.

THE PARK COMMITTEE.
They Canvassed the Town Yesterday
for Subscriptions.
The Park Committee made a com
plete canvass of the city yesterday for
such subscriptions as will be necessary
to secure the park in addition to funds
which the city will appropriate to the
fund. '
At the last meeting of the city coun
cil it was decided the most feasible plan
to ask four thousand dollars subscrip
tion from the citizens privately and let
the city appropriace the remaining
$6,000 necessary to purchase and im
prove Lilly Park. A committee to • so-
lictit the private subscriptions was ap
pointed. That committee made its first
canvass yesterday, but not with the
success each member had expected.
The citizens seem to be |somewhat
slow in subscribing to the park fund,
though every one that has 1 been ap
proached by the committee acknowl
edged in emphatic candorjthe advant
ages and necessity of the park. Some
think the city should buy the park and
levy taxes to pay for same. Others
seem to be waiting for some capitalist
to prseent the city with a park.
Athens surely needs the park and the
people ought to aid liberally in its es
tablishment when it is necessary to
call upon them. We sincerely hope
the committee will meet with better
success and more encouragement than
They received yesterday at the bands of
the citizens. We believe Athens will
have the park in fine order by next
summer.
HIS LAST DRINK-
Our oldest citizens wear a broad smile
to-day over the prosperity of onr city.
They tell us' that never in their life-time
have they seen suclienthusiasm aroused
such determination stamped upon every
face. They say that Athens never ha*s
pulled together as she ought to have
clone, and that one reason why she is
no larger to-day than she is
may be attributed to this
fact. But the fair has clearly demon
strated the fact that Athens has dipped
herself in the fountain of everlasting
youth; and .re-juvenated and enthused
has renounced her allegiance to her
false gods, and|turning her face to the
future will henceforth march forward
and never retrograde. The fair has
shown our citizens that, bound together
in the ties of friendship and inspired
with a loyal love for their city, with in
terests in common and energies all di
rected to the attainment of the best re
sults for all, thej' are a mighty power,
before whose solid phalanx the ranks
of antediluvian croakers and moss-back
ed.fogies must vanish from the sight of
men. The battle cry has been sounded;
the first test of strength has been made,
victory has crowned the efforts of our
citizens; and with the success of the
fair justjelosed, as the proof positive of
what we can do, the people of Athens
from this moment on will strive with
united effort and unbounded energy to
make this city the crown jewel in Geor
gia’s glittering diadem.
And now let us view what it has
doie for the entire section; the shore
which .Northeast Georgia contrib
uted to its success, and the benefit she
received from it. It were poor grace,
indeed, if in the exultation of this time,
the city of Athens and its citizens
should take unto themselves all the
credit for this fair, and also all the ben
efit from it. Far from that, our
citizens to-day shake hands across
the intervening county lines, and in that
grasp with the tiller of the field and.the
mechanic at the bench, a warm and
hearty thrill goes through the frame.
We are nearer together to-day than ever
before in our history. The same o'eo
graphical lines will divide, but "the
hearts are drawn more closer to together
and the interests of each are more close
ly interwoven with each other. The.city

A Man Killed at St. Louis for lief us
ing to Pay His Bar Bill.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 19.—An un
known oiau of about fifty years and of
dilapidated condition went into the sa
loon of Joseph H. Schwarzenhal, cor
ner of ninth and- Morgan streets, this
forenoon and ordered sereral beers, and
after drinking them refused to pay.
Schwarzendahl pushed him out of the
place, and after a wordy altercation
with him on the sidewalk, struck him
in the face with his fist, knocking him
into the gutter. Wben'picked up the
old man was found to be dead, the back
of his skull being fractured. Schwarz
enhal was arrested.
A Narrow Escape, w
Oxford, Ga. Nov. 19.—The senior
class of Emory College have been hav
ing some very interesting experiments
in chemistry, directed by Dr. Bonnell.
Mr. E. A. Tignor, of White Sulphur
Springs, having caught the spirit of in
vestigation, was conducting some. pri
vate experiments at his room and came
very near losing his eyes. Hs had a
solution of sodium biborate and hydro
gen sodium carbonate in a bottle watch
ing the action, when the combination
exploded, bursting the bottle, knocking
Mr. Tignor down and filling his eyes
with particles of glass.
His physician says that his eyes will
not be permanently injured.
The Athens fair, the electric lights,
and various other enterprises of mo
ment to our city have somewhat (divert
ed the attention of our citizens from
the question of x'ailroad building, so
important to our city. But now that
sverythingis settled and the bustle of
the fair is over, this question comes up
and merits a settlement. It is needless
to write of the benefits to be derived
from building railroads to our city. All
these have been expatiated upon here
tofore, but it is not amiss toreraind our
people of the fact that they have within
their giasp several lines ;of railway
which will be highly beneficial. \ They
have it within tlieir power to make
Athens one of the. great railroad cen
ters of Georgia, and all with ease if the
right course is pursued
The Georgia, Covington <fe Macon
and Northeastern are already here;
these are in running order and doing
excellent business. The G., C. &.N. is
moving towards us with rapid strides,
and will in a very short while cross the
waters of the Savannah, Its engineers
have already begun the survey from
Athens to the Savannah, and when its
road gets here, a new life will be iufus
ed into our midst. That will make four
good, solid roads to Athens. This rep
resents what has already, been done.
Now Athens needs a western connec
tion. This can come about hy a road to
Knoxville. This road has been planned,
projected, and ^discussed, and awaits
further development. The future of
Athens depends upon this road to a
great extent, and it is only a matter of
a very short time until it will be built.
It will .open up Northeast Georgia to
Athens In better shape than it now is.
Then there is a road to
Jefferson, opening up a very
rich and fertile part of this section.
The. projected road to Gainsville and
Chattanooga ' is also still being dis
cussed.
railroSd may some day he built. What
could Athens not do if she would just
move forward rapidly ? The history of
all great cities is identified more or less
with railroad development, and Athens
should be in line.
She will be in line. Her citizens
stand ready to help build railroads; the
old ideas are vanishing and the new
thoughts of progress are here. Athens
will have ten railroads in less than that,
many years. It is not out of the way
for us to urge our people again to turn
their attention to their railroad fa
cilities.
WHAT A MRMN OATH LIKE.
Ali Violators Punished bv Throat Cutting
—Looks Like Treason.
Salt Lake City,Nov19.—In the pre
paration for the coming municipal elec
tion many applications for naturaliz
ation have been made here recently.
Objection is being made to the admis
sion of persons accepting faith in poly
gamy, and adhering to other .Mormon
tenets, and to-day was set by tlie Court
to hear the question. Attorneys for
the Liberals asserted i hat no -Mormon
who had taken oaths in the endowment
house could be a good citizen, and tes
timony was ordered regarding the na
ture of these pat)is, John Bond swore
he went through.the endowment house
in 1S08 and was required to take an ob
ligation which compelled him to obey
every doctrine of the Church, espec
ially in opposition to the United States,
under penalty of his life. He was also
required to take oath to avenge the
b.ood of. Joseph. Smith on this nation
and to teach this to his children and
his children’s children to the latest gen
eration. ■ ! Will'dh: ‘‘ •
Marten JB Ward well took a similar
oath about the same time and said he
was told that if he revealed any secrets
his throat would be cutaud his bowels
torn out. He saw the death penalty en
forced on a man named Green several
years ago, and when some of the mem
bers of the band murmured, John W.
Young said that if they did not shut up
they would he served in the' same way.
Andrew Cahoon swore to the same ob
ligations and said that he took an oath
that the highest allegiance was to the
Mormon Church; polygamy was the
command of God and all must indorse
it or be damned Cahoon had heard lead
ers of the Church party pray for the
overthrow of the United States Govern
ment, It was common, he said, for Wil-

Jute Seed,
At the suggestion of the Star, Judge
Henderson, our commissioner of agri
culture, has notified us he will at once
open correspondence with the commi
sioner of ariculture of Australia, and
our consuls in India, in reference to
bring a supply of jute seed for distribu
tion among the farmers of Georgia, for
the purpose of experimenting with
it and to ascertain whether or not it
can be successfully and profitably rais
ed in this state, as well as in the entire
south.
We will give our readers the result of
the correspondence, and as soon as re
plies can be received from those for
eign countries.
This is a matter of much interest to
our farmers, and we believe tlie jute for
bagging can be produced cheaper than
cotton.—Covington Star.

Newark, N. Y. November 10.—Mrs.
C. Wesley Tayler was deserted hy her
husband at the Continental Hotel yes
terday. The couple were married in
New York on Wednesday and came
here on a wedding to tr Thursday. The
husband is a Chicago drummer, and the
bride lives in New York. They had
known and corresponded with each
other for two years. When Taylor
left he took his wife’s pocketbook, and
said he was going to visit her mother.
Learning that he had not visited her
mother, Mrs. Taylor concluded that
she had been deserted, but she cannot
explain why. Last night her brother
and brother-in-law, of New York,
learned of tlie desertion and started in
pursuit of the husband.
