Her Mother’s Illness and a Broken En gagement Led to Grief and Suicide. St. Louis, Mo. Nov., 19.—The mys tery as to the identity of the woman who oommited suicide near the gar - oi Shaw’s Garden Friday night has been cleared up, and reveals a sad story. W. T. Koken, bead of a large architec tural company, this morning identi fied the body as that of his sister. lie said she had’, for two years, devoted herself entirelydo nursing her invalid mother, and had grown very melancho ly. At 10 o’clock Frida v m or nips; she left the house, saying she wanted to do some shopping, and the next seen of her was in the morgue. He s aid a broth er, to whom she was devoted, died- aboutayear ago, and grief probably preyed upon her. He asserted he near of no other cause of suicide. When qusetioned afterwards he said that she hail been engaged to bo married some time_ago, but that her nv.lid mother seeded to require her care, anil, deem, iug(he eommaud of;filial duty more imperative than the prompting of love, she broke the engagement and devoted her life to nursing her mother. Since the breaking of the engagement she has befen subject to fits of melancholia. The family is a wealthy one. OUR SCHOOLS. Their Increasing Prosperity penotes the Growth of Athens. Athenians little thought when they established a system of public schools that in the short period of their exist ence they would ever attain to such prominence as they enjoy to-day. They started out with a small attendance com pared with what they have now, and their increasing prosperity but denotes the growth of pur city. The system now in Athens is one of the best in tne Union, and Superintendent Branson to gether with his superb corps of teachers eserve congratulations and thanks from the people of Athens. Recently the high school has endeavored to raise i library and the endeavor was success ful to a great extent in that over three thousand choice volumes were secured. It now may be seen that the number of white scholars has so increased as to demand another building to accommo date applicants with seats.| The systerajef public sc hot Is in a city is an index to its prosperity, and judg ing from the schools of Athens, the city is jin a prosperous condition and is growing rapidly. * SEED BUT NO COTTON More Evidence of the ftuciss of the New Variety. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 20.— [Special.]—There seems to be no doubt about the new lintless cotton plant mentioned in these dispatches several weeks ago. The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter, of New York, characterizes the statement as a Munchausen story, but the proof of thp new plant is here in Charleston. There was received here to day a box of bolls raised in Sumter county, all containing cotton seed without a fibre of lint. This new plant which was tried FRUITS OF THE FAIR. Some of the Good It Has Done for Athens, It is impossible to estimate the bene fits of our recent fair to this city and its various business interests. Every store was crowded during the entire week with customers, and on Thursday alone agentlmaeu who investigated the matter tells us that the block on which Michael Bros, are located sold $15 QGO worth of goods. A gentleman from a distance was attracted to Athens for the first time by the fair, and while here was *o well pleased with our faciHides for female education that he entered his daughters at one of our ui nut. j. uis new piant wnicn was tried These irn nni «r ,« , *“• in Spartanburg county will, itis claim- I e g ® of the Fair »nces of f h e ben- ed, produce from 300 to 400 bushels nf I .

Gentry expected to leave with his company last night for Columbus, Ga.. on a special tiain, but owing to the breaking down of an engine on the C, <&M. his trip was delayed until to day. Col. Gentry and his estimable wife made many friends in Our city, anil are so well pleased with Athens that they’speak of locating here. Mrs. Gentry ’s mother was a Strickland, and she is.nearly’ relaiedjloallin our section of that name. She met two uncles while here, and a host of cousins. The entire company won the respect of our people by their quiet and gentlemanly deport- meut. Our best wishes attend them. THE COTTON MARKET. The Severe Weather has not Seriously Af fected Late Cotton. It avis feared that the hard wind and severe weather of the j^ast few days would destroy the prospect for late cot ton, hut yesterday the sun came out and alKis again serene. In some sec tions cotton is all killed, but in others the plants are still blooming and the green bolls maturing. There was a great deal of late cotton this year, and a greater part of this crop is yet to ma ture. The yield of the fleecy staple will not be so large as expected some time since. .. . -twn OGLETHORPE C0UR. BOUND SENSE IN ATHENS. Mr* E. T. Brown, a vigorous and prac tical young lawyef, has just been made mayor of Athens after a stirring cam paign. There is one paragraph in his in augural 6o timely and sensible that it should be repeated in other cities, and given emphasis everywhere. It might not be amiss to repeat it even in Rome-; “Again would I refer to the olden times, when that dread disease of lep rosy prevailed in the east. The custom was that those who suffered from its dreadful ravages should be avoided and upon their approach the multitude cried,’’Make way for the leper,"“Make way for the leper,” and today iiv our growing city, when men come among us afflicted with that terrible disease of old fogyism, let it reverberate along our hills, “Make way forj the croaker,“ “Make way for the croaker.” [Applause] How would it do to * build our next mayor upon the platform of opposition to tha “croaker” pattern?—Rome Tribune. THE ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE, Judge Hiuos Holds an Adjourned Ses sion. The adjourned court of Oglethorpe county Avas held this week, Judge James K. Hines *n the bench. The court was in session two days. Paul Batteese, a negro man, was kill ed by the Georgia railroad train a short while since. Suit was brought for dam ages, the plaintiff being represented by Coi. John C. Reed,of Atlanta. The jury returned a verdict for the road. Pope Davis, a young white man formerly of Athens, was found guilty of an assault. Judge limes Avas very strict in the court room and fined several jurors and witnesses for non attendance upon the court. A Challenge. Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 39, 1889. Mr.Editor, Dear Sir:—If Martin Dempsey or (Jal McCarthy are still in your town I would like to arrange x fight with one of them I fight at 115 pounds, will fight anyway they want, to make it, either in your toivnor here. If agreeable please answer right away. Respectfully Yours, Reddy Flutx, Care Atlanta Journal. A PROPOSED TKADE- The Court House to be Turned Into an Academy and a New Temple of Justice Built. It is A'itally important that Athens has another school building for tin- whites to accommodate the increasing attendance of children. While the col ored schools are decreasing in numbers the whites are overcrowded and many applicants for admission cannot he ac- combodated. While the influx of new citiznes that are constantly moving in. it isjnOAV absolutely necessary tliat^ ad ditional buildings be erected for 'their accommodation. Itis noAv proposed for the eity to purchase the court hose and grounds «r Claike county for school purposes, and that the comity erect a better and more mofern building down town, and the lot if Judge Herrington is suggested as the most suitable site. This property can be bought for $10,000 and x hand- sot ie and imposing building thereon Avefuld be an ornament indeed to our city. Besides, it is a great inconven ience to parties having business to go so far, this would be a most excel lent location for a school, being about in the centre of the school population. We hope that this trade will be per fected, as it would suit both the city and the county .

The Granting of tha Charter Delayed 0>ring 10 a mistake in carrying out the law, Judge Hutchins could not grant the charter, for the Alliance Avare- house company,-which will delay the business for a time. It is a matter of much regret by all, as our farmer friends Avere very anxious to get in quarters in time for the present cotton crop. We understand there is a good deal of indignation over the matter. We do not know whjat effect this will have upon the forfeiture from the con tractors. The Avarehouse has not as yet been paid for, and there will doubtless be trouble over it. Jug Taveru Itom«. Jug Tavern, Nov. 20.—Our hopes .of getting the G., C. &N. railroad have matured into a certainty now. Col. Merrison Avith his corpse of en gineers begun here locating towards Athens, and another corps took up the line from here towards Lawreneeville, The location through the incorpora tion is a straight line one mile long and almost on a level. The elevation as marked on a tree at the highest point is 96G feet. The site for the depot is not definitely known, but will probably be on the south side of the business portion of the town, and convenient to the stone ; quarry, ten acres of which are deeded to the road. Building lots are in good demand. Already several desirable lots have changed hands at a handsome profit. We predicted over two years ago that Jug Tavern Avas destined to become a city, and verily our prediction is soon to become a reality. With the neAV road within our grasp and the broadening of the narrow gauge road, which will in evitably result, we are sure to grow. A Park Secured. Arrangements are all about perfected to establish a park. The street railroad will be run to it, and Avork commenced on the 1st day of January next. It is intended to expend $5,000 the[first year improving the park. We hope in a feAV days to give our people full and definite information. To Leave for Washington. Hon. H. H. Jariton will leave in about ten days for Washington, D. €., as congress will convene at that time. Important business will be before that body and it is 'important that every democrat should be in lus place. TWENTY—EIGHT ANIMALS BURNED.
