The Athens Publishing Company to-day presents its patrons with the first paper issued under the new management. Wljile, without ego tism, we claim it to lje the best and newsiest daily ever published in our city, at the same time it is not by any means so good a paper as we intend it shall be. We have not as yet our forces properly organized and of course it will take time to get everything in perfect working order. |t is onr purpose to keep The Bonnot fully apace with Athens, and give onr people a daily and weekly paper of which they can justly boast. The consolidation of the newspaper business in onr city was not made to extort increased prices for advertising and subscrip tion firom the people, but by concent trating all the business into one office, to enable the pnblication of a more creditable paper and at less expense te both advertisers and subscribers that to obtain a general circulation and the news by sup porting two papers. As onr ex penses are greatly increased, it is necessary to somewhat advance prices to daily subscribers and ad vertisers; but this advance is less than the amount heretofore paid to separate papers, while a double cir culation and an increased amount of ^reading matter is given. The Banner is now owned by the merchants and citizens of Athens and surrounding country. Not one dollar of stock is held by an outsider. It is a home enterprise, owned solely by home people, and its great work and missive will be to advertise and and section. Every dollar paid Ttfc?-Joannes will he like bread cast upon the^waters, for it will be returned to yoomany fold. The Banner has neither friends to reward or enemies to punish. It will know no past, and work only for the future. It is not established to advance the claims of any man or set *f men. Whatever may be the personal feelings, preferences or interests of its editor or managers, this paper will not be a reflex of their sentiments. It has a higher and pobler mission to perform—the up building of our city and section and ——tUfi advancement of the welfare or its entire peopte. In politics, The Banner will know no dictator except the commands of the organized democracy. When our party meets and centres npon a ticket, then, and not till then, will this paper champion the cause of auy men. Where a race is between democrats and good men—while giving all the news of the campaign —we will not attempt to shape the opinion of intelligent voters by espousing the cause of any can didate. But when the welfare and interest of our section, our party or our people are at stake. The Banner will be found ever battling for wkat it be lieves to be right and for the best. In the future as in the past, this paper will ever be found on the side of every movement tending to the advancement of peace, morality and good government. In assuming the position of editor- in-chief, we feel and appreciate the responsibility imposed upon us. We realize the fact we have not only our individual reputation and interests at stake, but are alpo intrusted with those of many other honorable and worthy citizens. It shall be our earnest aim and endeavor never to pen a line that any stockholder is this paper may have cause to blush for. We will use more care and diligence than ever before to publish a clean and in^resting paper. We intend to make Tiie Banner one journal that any father can place in the bands of his family without first, scanning its contents. Mr. C. D. Flanigen has entire Ghatge of the business management ON A SOLID FOUNDATION. The Athens Banner is no new and untried craft,launcbed'npon the uncertain sea of journalism; but it is a sturdy old ship that has for 58 years weathered the storms of time and has found a firm anchorage in the hearts and confidence of thepeo pie. It was started on 'its journey in 1832, when Athens was a little college town. It has lived through two bloody wars, stemmed the tide during the threatening days of Nul lification, and kept upon its course while assailed with panics. The Banner has seen Athens grow from a little hamlet to a prosperous city; our cotton receipts swell from a few straggling bales to nearly 100,000; our streams chained and their rush ing waters change their music to the hum of machinery; waste places covered with stately buildings, end in fact, this old paper has stood by our city since the day it donned knee breeches. It has swallowed up paper after paper, and added their patronage to its own. The Banner is here to stay, and with new arma ment and an increased crew, we predict that it will yet survive to see Athens a city of more than 100,000 population. The future of .* he paper was never brighter, than to-day. It is now the pat and child of Athens, and will never suffer for friends or for pat ronage. The man who has a share of Us stock has an inheritance as solvent as .a government bond, Fresh blood has been infused into its veins by coalition with that bright and .successful paper, the Athens Chronicle, that started out eleven years ago as a small weekly, and blossomed into a prosperous daily. OUR ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. Mr. George T. Murrell, a leading farmer of this section and member of the Judiciary Committee of the State Farmer’s alliance, will have charge of the Agricultural and Al liance department of The Weekly Banner. This will be a new and interesting feature for our people, and with Mr. Murrell at the helm, we risk nothing in predicting that it will be a great success, and prove entertaining and instructive to our farmers. It is designed to make The Weekly Banner the organ for the Alliance throughout this section ot the State, and all communications and announcements should be sent to George T. Murrell, editor, Win- tervilie, Ga. One page or more in our paper will be devoted each week to the AUiancemeu and their inter ests. THE WARNING OF THE BUSH. It is only tho weird rustling Of a withered, wind blown bush. That stands by the roadside sighing * In the autumn eveuingVLush; It thrills as though it were human. And feels encroaching death That tinges with hectic beauty Its leaves—list what it saith: , -. --y - - - ~ I dreamt sweet dreams in springtime days, I slept ’neatli the summer moon, I shed soft tears in autumn's haze, But the chill came all too soon. Dream on, young lover, while you may, , Life's roses bloom for some; Bask in warm Jove’s effulgent ray. Yet chilling age must come. One must go first, and one remain Alone on the road to death, And sadly sigh, as now do L In the autumn's frosty breath; The hopes you bear, the charms you wear. Must lose their mystic light And winter’s snows drift o’er the rose That once was fair and bright. Pass onl I can but whisper low, • With these withered, wind blown leaves; I stand alone, and make my moan Like a trembling soul that grieves. Pass on, leave me desolate I 'Ere long I shall be dumb. With not a leaf to sigh my grief When chilling death shall come. —Annie E. Baker in Philadelphia Ledger. MB. ASHFORD’S “SETTINGS.' TODAY’S WEEKLY- OwiDg to the fact that we have just begun to get settled and suit ably arranged under the new man agement, we have been forced to issue only a half sheet today for our weekly. We regret 'this occurrence very much, but when we^assure our read ers that it was impossible to get out a better paper owing to the claotic state of our office, we feel certain of receiving their kind forbearance for onr short comings. Our next weekly will be the same size as heretofore, and will be a great improvement on the old paper. The Banner will drop the flag on long-winded correspondents, who seek to use cplumn after column of the paper in which to air their individual griev ances or peculiar views. We need our every line to boom Athens. We will cheerfully publish short and pithy arti cles on any living issue, even if the views expressed therein do not coincide with The Banner’s.

Ksu.’Cfiwortfi, who recently shot and killed her betrayer, Stephen Pettus, on the streets of New Y ork is now the recipient of a’ great deal of misplaced sympathy. It.is notour desire to cast blame upon the weaker vessel; and we have no word of apology to offer for the murdered man, who fell a victim to his own lust. But when we see an attempt made to create a heroine of a woman who consented to the wreck of her own diameter, and at last> through the basest motives and in an ungovernable outburst of rage, deliberately stained her hands with blood of the man to whom she volun tarily gave her honor, we feel it our duty to enter a protest. Were Mrs. Southworth a guileless younggirl, seduced by false promises and the syren tongue of a betrayer, then indeed would our heart go out in the deepest sympathy to her. But here ws And a matured , wo man—a widow well versed in the ways and wiles of the world—yield ing up herself to the embraces ot a man whom she knew had a loving wife and family. Not onty once, but for long months, were these criminal relations kept up. while the unsus peering wife at home had not the slightest idea that her confidence was being systematically betrayed. While robbing Mrs. Pettus of her husband’s love and rime, Mrs. South- worth did not feel a single sting of conscience. She gave no thought to the devoted and betrayed wife, so long as she could gratify her own depraved passions without danger of exposure. But a time came when this woman discovered that “the wages of sin is death.” It was then that her own condition—and {not the injury done the misguided wife—aroused her anger and she demanded of her par amour that he right her wrongs Mrs. Southworth well knew that Pit- tus could not. save her blasted char acter by marriage, as he already had one lawful wife. She then bewail to hound down the man to whom she owed her degradation—her 'copart ner in sin—and finally, in an un governable outburst of rage, took his life, thus doubly injuring the be trayed wife—first robbing her of a TEvery few days some fellow discov ers a new substitute for jute in some of the myriads of wild plants that grow in the South. It is too late, now. The farmers have long since found a substi tute for jute, and intend to stick to it to the end. It is named King Cotton, and the fact has been demonstrated that it makes an excellent winding-sheet for the iniquitous jute trust. From now on, cotton will use its own “kiver.” We are glad to see that the people of that old iron-ribbed democratic county, Madison, have decided to here after nominate, candidates for every office by primary eleotion. They are right, and any white man who opposes this glorious reform movement should be treated as a scallawag. Bear in mind that disunion among the white voters, in its last analysis, is negro supremacy. The names of all the men so far men tioned for Atlanta’s next mayor begin withH. They are: Howell, Hutchin son, Hemphill, Hass, Hammond and Hurt. The initial of the successful candidate, as an old riddle goes: “Is whispered in Heaven— Is answered in hell, And echo caught faintly The sound as it fell.’’ President Harrison has given his own family more government pap than he has set before the whole negro race of America. His motto is to the vic tor, and not the voter, belongs the spoils. Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, is very popular for Commissioner of Agriculture in this section. The farm ers are a unit for him, and they should control this office, as it is created for their benefit. Chicago is trying to cover up her in sults to Mr. Davis by honoring Gov. Gordon.

And do you think it is natural?” I asked these questions anxiously, os 1 laid down my manuscript; and Susan hesitated as she answered: “Well, if you want to know my candid opinion, Miss Margie, it’s just this: You see, you’re not in love, and never have been in love, so how can you write about what you don’t understand? To my mind,, that’s not possible; and that’s why your love stories don’t succeed.” Busan’s words carried an unpleasant con viction with them. I was not quite twenty- two, and I had already won a fair reputa tion as a writer of short stories, except on one theme. 1 hod never, try as 1 might, written a successful love story. The one 1 hod just read to Susan was roy latest effort, and, as usual, I felt that it was a failure. But 1 only replied, somewhat pet ulantly: “Well, Busan, I can’t fall In love as a mere matter of business, you know; so 1 don’t see what is to be dona” “Dear, dear! It’s too bad,” sighed Susan; but I would not continue the conversation. I thrust the. unlucky manuscript into my desk, and decided to spend the rest of the morning in the woods by way of restoring my downcast spirits. >. Susan was an important person to me, as she was at once my maid, confidante, old friend. She was also an excellent critic, and I had often founk her judgment invaluable That morning, however, I felt vexed with her and with all the world, so when I re turned from my ramble I was not at all pleased to find that a new boarder had ar rived and was seated on the piazza as if waiting to greet me This was Lyman Ash ford, a young lawyer, and a favorite with my sister and her husband, as whose house he was a constant visitor. Although we had been much together dur ing the past year, and although I knew him to be as clever as he was handsome, he had never interested me in the least Now, when he came to meet me with smiling confidence, as if he had a claim on my time not to be gainsaid, I felt that my manner was far from gracious; so I mentioned very briefly the rea sons which bad drawn me to a place where 1 could be undisturbed, upon which Mr. Ash ford said quickly: “You have stated my case, too, Miss Carleton. I am busily en gaged on a compilation which, though it needs no originality, calls for much harjJ work. So I came here to finishJt 0- {RjeS ho bowed mad_iaff'Ss.e^fimdh to my relief, and 1 -Stw no more of him for some days. Meanwhile I was working hard at my new story, but was making very little progress. I wrote and rewrote, tore np my sheets and i again; but I felt at heart that I was not succeeding, and began to be melancholy and morose. One evening Susan was evi dently in a very excited mood. Instead of listening to my plaints with her usual pa tience, she exclaimed: “Oh, Miss Margie, I’ve got an idea. If you had a real lover to study—one who was dreadfully in love, you know—wouldn’t that help you? Couldn’t you put down what he said and thought? 1 ' “Why, yes, of course I could; but where could such a lover be found? And do you suppose, you foolish thing, that he would lay bare his heart for my inspection?” I asked, laughing in spite of myself. Susan looked mysterious. “But, Miss Mar gie, I’ve seen the lover already, and I’ve heard him, too; so there’s one difficulty out of the way. Oh, he talks just like a book, 1 can tell you!” “Why, Susan, this is astonishing!” I cried; “and, pray, who is this wonderful lover?” “It’s Mr. Ashford. He and I have had a great many talks, and he is in love with a young lady who doesn’t care for him, though he loves her to distraction, he says." “Mr. Ashford I” I repeated, amazed. “Well, he must be a strange man to talk sq freely of his love affairs to you.” "And why not to me, Miss Margie?” said Susan, looking hurt. “I’m sure I wouldn’t betray the young man’s secret for the world, and ho said it did him good to talk to me.” “I don’t doubt that, my dear Susan. You are one of the best of comforters,” I an swered, soothingly; “but, then, you know men are not generally communicative about such affairs.” “Well, Mr. Ashford is anyway, and Pm glad of it, because now I can tell you all aboutr his feelings,” persisted Susan. “But I don’t think I ought to listen, Susan; indeed, I’m sure I ought not, since it is not meant for me to hear,” I said, and from this resolution all Susan’s persuasidhs failed to move me. The next day, however, she began trium phantly: “Well, then, Miss Margie, it’s all settled, and I hope you won’t think I’ve been too meddlesome; but I wanted to help you along. I’ve spoken to Mr. Ashford about your story, and ho says that, if you’ll allow him to give you a ‘sitting’ (that’s what he called it) every day, he will be most happy to pose as an unhappy lover. Those are his very words, miss, and I do think it’s very kind of him.” “Oh, Susan I” I exclaimed in alarm, “what have you been saying to Mr. Ashford? I am afraid yon have been terribly indiscreet.” “Not a bit, Miss Margie, sot a bitl I’ve only interested him in your story. Now you just give him half an hour or so every morn ing, and see what a help it will be.” It is needless to repeat all the conversation between Susan and myself on this subject. Let it suffice that I was won over at last, and a daily interview was agreed upon, wherein Mr. Ashford was to enact tlio part of a de spairing lover, and I was at liberty to sketch from life. Our first "sitting,” as wr- agreed to rail our meetings, would have been embarrassing as well as awkward, but I must own that Mr. Ashford behaved splendidly! He thanked me for my. kindness in allowing him to be of some service to me, and thin, after a while, he began to speak in the mist charming way about the young lady witl/ whom he was in love, and whom, for convenience sake, he called Daisy, although he said that was not her true name. I began to change my ojinion of Mr. Ash ford from that day. He wis certainly a very interesting man, and I wondered why that stupid Daisy could pot see i. Soon I found that these “sittings" grew more and more interesting as the days went on, until I could scarcely think of anything else, much to my own surprise. And what a difference between the luiguagoof genuine feeling and the poor counterfeits over which I had labored so long und so vainly I By this time, too, we had somewhat changed the manner of our interviews. At first i had taken copious notes, but latterly Mr. Ashford had persuaded me to leave the notes until I was alone, and devote the time spent with him to conversation, as being more sugges tive. Besides, I was now, also by his advice, playing the part of the obdurate Daisy, and receiving his entreaties and his avowals with studied coldness and indifference. At first I objected seriously to this role, as placing me in a very unpleasant position, but Mr. Ash ford insisted that it was the only way in which I could thoroughly understand his feelings or make any heroine perfectly true to nature, and so I yielded. Ho made it a rule after that to call me Daisy, and he soon suggested that I should call him Lyman, but that seemed unnecessary, and I never tried it; at least not in his presence. I would not have minded his calling me Daisy—for he had a lovely way of saying it —if I had not begun to dislike the girl so in tensely. I was always wondering he hap pened to fall in love with her, mid why he was so constant to so blind and ungrateful a creature. Often, when he would say that his only hope of happiness lay in winning her heart, I ^ould turn away my head to hide the tears in my eyes—tears of pity for him and anger against her. It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true that I found it quite impossible to work at my story any more. Notwithstanding the many advantages I now enjoyed, I found my self more at a loss than ever. My heroine, whom I had modeled after Daisy, displeased me; my hero, who was of course Mr. Ashford, was too good for her, so how could I marry them at the end? I did think of introducing another character, a girl to whom his heart should turn, because of her sweet, unselfish sympathy with all his sorrows; but—well, I put the whole thing aside, to be finished in the winter. One morning Mr. Ashford made his ap pearance with a very melancholy air. “My work is completed,” ho said; “my vacation is over, and 1 must go back to the city. I cannot toll you how sorry I am, nor how much I shall miss these ‘sittings.’ And, by the way, is not the story nearly finished? I was hoping you would read it to me before I loft." - “Oh, nol not now—It Is not ready yet," I exclaimed. “I have not written much lately.” And there I stopped, confused by my own admission. But ho went on quietly: “You are quite right Put your work aside for a time, and you will take it up with new vigor. And now, my kind friend, will you let me occupy this last hour of the many we have spent together with my own affairs? I have written to Daisy—for the last time if she still refuses me—and on her decision my future now rests. If she is at last won to say yes, you know how happy I shall be. If not, I cannot stay in the city, where I must meet her continually. I shall accept my uncle’s offer, give up my profession, and go to Ger many with him, probably for the rest of my life.” He paused, locking at me expectantly, but I was silent. Of course, I suppose it was sympathy, but it seemed to me as if I could never be so utterly wretched in all my life as I was at that moment. Finally, realizing that something must be said, I contrived to get off two or three eentencea, with “best wishes,” and “deep interest in his welfare,” and the like, but it was very hard work. However, he seemed quite satisfied, for he thanked me, and then he added: “I shall not hear from Daisy before Friday, but, what ever the answer may be, I must come back to tell you. So please meet me here on Satur day afternoon, and then, if I am happy, 1 shall claim your congratulations, and if I am to be an exile, I shall at least have the conso lation of hearing a friendly good-by. Au revoir, kindest of friends." He was gone, but I burst into tsars. For a long time I remained sitting in the little ar bor where he had left rrie, trying to compose myself sufficiently to return to the house. . TJwff X went up to my room, and, telling Susan that I had a violent headache and could not be disturbed, I shut myself up and began to think. My meditation during that day and the next made one point perfectly clear to me: I did not want Mr. Ashford to marry Daisy. But then, on the other hand, I did not want him to go to Germany. I began to feel a posi tive hatred for that girl, and to wish that I could warn Mr. Ashford against her, for I was quite sure she could never make him happy. In this way the hours dragged on. Satur day-afternoon came at last, and found me in the arbor waiting for him with almost uncon trollable anxiety. He made his appearance punctually, and, as I watched him coming along the path that led to the arbor, I forgot In one moment all the rules of conduct 1 had lain down for my self. all the elaborate speeches I had pre pared, and, springing up, I held out my hand with a breathless “WellP’ “No, It isn’t well Daisy has not accepted me,” he said, os he took my hand. “Now the only thing I con do is to go away as soon as possible. Don’t you think so?” I did not intend to say it. I shall always Insist that nothing was further from my in* tentions that moment, but I suddenly burst out with? “No, don’t, don’t go.” He was still holding my hands, and when I said these words he put his other arm very gently around me and whispered: "If you want me, I will stay.” I am going to omit the greater port of our conversation that afternoon in the arbor, os it was strictly personal and private. But I ought to say that Lyman confessed to me that he had been guilty of a great deception. There was no such person as Daisy, and it was I, myself, with whom he had been in love all the time. Of course I forgave him, although I don’t think it was quite fair, and to inveigle Susan, tool But we talked over our “sittings.” lex- claimed, ruefully: “And so my love story has not been written after all?” “Your love story has just begun, dear Margie, and I hope it will never come to an end.” And I don’t believe it wilL—Philadelphia Frees. — The Queen’s Time Table.
