A BROAD GAUGE SCHEDULE. Athens wilTno longer be run on a narrow gauge track. Our new ad ministration has spread out the rails and wil- hereafter run abioad gauge schedule. Old fogies and croakers must clear the track or be thrown overboard by the cow-catcher of pro gress. You can’t bore an auger hole with a gimle’,or build up a live nine- teenth century city on a two-for-a- niekle financial policy. You can’t catch a whale with a pin-hook, or hope to attract capital and popula tion to a place, without a proper spirit of liberality and enterprise. Our new C <uncil has started out iD the right direction, and don’t let them he deterred by the groans of growleis. Athens has remained in her old ruts too long already. We must pave all ot our sidewalks, lay Belgium blocks on the principal s reets. thoroughly sewer the city, ex'end t very encouragement possible l,i manufacturing enterprises, spend money liberally to beautify our city, and add to the pleasure and happi ness .if its people; encourage and generously support our free school svstem, and erect handsome public buildings of all kinds. And don’t stop loo long to count costs when a public enterprise is on foot. What if taxes are increased ? Why the advance in property that these improvements would bring will many times over-balance the pittance paid to the city. The great est blessing that could to-day be showered upon A-ihens would lie a bonded debt of a half million of dol add to their discomfiture, as soon as the owner’s back is turned, some thieving negro porloins every mova ble article from his wagon. Now if this camping ground was. provided and securely enclosed, a po'icetnan could be kept there mi guard during the busy winter months and aM thieves and suspicious chart actera kept out of the enclosure. We hope that our enterprising City Fathers will act upon this sug gestion, and. make the best provision in their power for the convenience of < ur country fi e ds.

The Southeastern Mutual Accident Co. which, as stated iti fun Banner a few days ago, commenced business on Jan. 1st, is meeting with great success and promises to be a most successful and valued organization. Our citizens are giving it the support it deserves, and already over 200 policies have been issued. This is a remarkable showing and. we congratulate the directors and officers of the company upon their great suc cess. This corp .ration will bring thousands of dollars to Athens which would have gone elsewhere, and in this way alone will prove a valuable tributary to the prosperity of our city. The agents of the association will also advertise Athens to the whole country, showing up her abundant re sources in every way. Our colleges, schools, business qualifications, facto ries and general prosperity will be talked about over the whole country, and it cannot fail to bring behcflcial results. Mr. J B. Coleman, superintendent of agencies, has left on a trip through North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virgin!*, and is appointing gen eral agents in these slates as rapidly as possible. Our own banner state will , „ , . , . r i be under the direct supervision of the T.rs, tor value received in the way of j j, onU} office and two general agents will permanent improvements.

CONVENIENCES FOR COUNTRYMEN, There is one neglect to which we desire to call the especial atteotion of our Mayor and Councilmeu. Itis How They Are Fighting the .Malady, There is uow not the slightest doubt according to the physicians, that h grippe has assumed ail epidemic form in Macon. The simultaneous attack of dozens of people with almost the same symptoms, strongly bears out this be lief, and while it differs somewhat from the grip of last February, it is not a whit more comfortable. There is a large number who believe they are taking it, and are fortifying themselves with drugs and “spiritual consolation,” believing that a dose in time often saves fineral expenses. So far, there has been no fatal cases in Macon, none even of a very serious na- The Blue Ridge ft Atlantic is in. a re ceiver’s hands! - Such was the intelligence that took Athens by surprise yesterday. V* hat effect the change will have on Athens is hard to decide—in fact can only be predicted. That the change will lead to the com pletion of the Knoxville extension is to be hoped. The statement was made on the streets of Athens yesterdy, and soon spread like wildfire. The facts as near as can bi learned are these: The road was heavily mortgager!, and had been run some time at a dead loss to Judge Thomas, aud a few weeks ago he decided to place the road in a re ceiver’s hands. The principal cred- tors are a party of New York capital ists, and it is said that the road will be turned over to them, and that they will make immense improvements at Tallu lah Falls, buil t a handsome hotel ther« t extend the road to Knoxville and equip it in the fi rest manner. These are only rumors, but it is thought that they are correct. The fact that Mr. Pat Calhoun has been appointed' receiver, leads to an other conclusion—that the roid will fall into the maw of the Richmond Terminal Co., and be ran as a branch road to this system. One tning is certain. There will he big changes made at Tallulah Falls, and money •• ill in all events be turned loo*e to beautify with art what nature has spent some of her best efforts upon. Judge Tho nas is not in Athens, and but few particulars could be learned. It s not known where he is, although it probable that he is in New York on business connected with the change in management. Judge Thomas has had a remarkable history for keensigh r eJ in inagetnmt of railroad property, and won many spurs by the ease with which lie conducted the entire judicial busi less of his rail road. His frieuds dislike very much to see him relinquish the Blue Ridge and Atlantic management. It will be remembered bow about three years ago he won the praise o[ en tire Athens by his estimable manage ment of the combinations by which Athens secured the Covington ft Ma con. In recompense for his services, the Richmond ft Danville presented him with Blue Ridge ft Atlantic which has been run for years at a dead loss,and the R ft D. was really glad to get it off their hands. ‘ Judge Thomas took the road, repre sented it. and soon had it in excellent trim and regarded everywhere as one of the best little roads in the state. Everyone thought that it was paying handsomely, and the announcement that it was in the hands of a receiver was indeed a surprise. Judge Thomas’ signal ability will be required in railroad work, and his re tirement will be but temporary.

With Mr. Swann on the Financial Ktatna aad Condition of Affair,—A Sen sible View os tho Cotioo Quolloa—The Financier's View Hopeful for tho South. Other'Intereating News. ' - Atlanta, Jan. 10.—Mr. James Swann, of Inman, Swann ft Co., of New York, was in the city Saturday, and in conver sation with a newspaper man, gave some interesting facts about the financial sit uation. '•*-* Mr. Swann said: “Tlie recent stringency in the money market has been chargeirto WaU street and to speculation in stocks there. The truth is there has been leas than the usual amount of speculation in Wall -street in the last few months. The money market was in tine shape until just before the failure of Baring Bros, in London. English capitalists had lost on South American securities aad a distrust of all American securities followed. Many English holders of American secu rities put then* on the market in New York. This caused an unusual demand for money, (and, taken in connection with the great failure of the Barings and the prevailing distrust, made a tightness for which the money center of. this country was really not respousible.” Mr. Swann stated that the outlook now waa excellent, aud he was satisfied there would be no furtlter trouble. He declared it was practically impossible to cause any serious financial trouble tlie south, on account of its enormous cotton crop, which is nearer gold than any other agricultural product of the country. It always commands the money. He said he thought there was more surplus money left ia the south this year from tlie cotton crop than ever before; aud that the real benefit from this prosperity among the agricultural Classes would not be fully appreciated until 1892. Mr. Swaun was asked what connec tion the Atlantic and Danville road, which went into the hands of a receiver a few days ago, had with tlie Richmond and Danville system. He replied that the only connection was that tlie word Danville was in the name of the road that went into the hands of a receiver, and also in the name of. the Richmond and Danville system. There is absolutely no connection be tween the two roads. purchase a lot as bear the buaioess section as possible, arrange4 with sheds, racks and stalls and other houses, where wagoners could leave their teams with an assurance that they would be protected and well- cared for. The cost would be bu light compared to the benefit it would tie to itivi class of our patrons It would show, too, to our country frieuds that Athens appreciated their presence, and it would encourage them to visit us oftener. As it is they must leave their vehicle ex posed on soir.:‘ aide streei, with n«* accninmnd-fiun whatever of fee-li“v and caring lor Un it stuck, aud w ry gave liberally to it and we fail to see wh/ work hasn’t commenced op It be fore now It will virtually create a new artery of commerce for Athens and open up "a new channel of country trade. A Serious Fall.—Quite a serious accident happened to Mrs.. Ellis last ondav at noon.

He was a member of the 55th Georgia regiment during the war and served with distinction and bravery. Many old soldiers who were tenderly nursed by him when wounded will bear him in memory.

Perfect Pandemonium, aad tho End It Not Tot—Tweaty-BIffkt Members of tho Lower House Complicate Matter* by* Seceding, and the Cry h: “Whither are We Drifting T” I*: -r Denver, CoL, Jan. 10.—There was an exciting time in the lower house of the Colorado legislature, precipitated by ttoo * Republican factions in the Loose, one led by H. EL 'Bddy and the other by James Browne. 1 . r. The Browne crowd numbers fourteen, . and by forming an unexpected combine with tlie Democratic members secured working majority. When the newly elected speaker, Han na, attempted to announce his standing committees, Browne, of the Democratic ; faction, blocked legislation, and the re sult was that nothing could be accom plished during tlie afternoon. Several attempts to adjourn wertf voted { down by that clique. Browne was or dered under arrest for interrupting the ‘ speaker. The sergeanb&t-arivu started - to arrest Browne, when fodt- deputy sheriffs sprang into Hie 1 aisle and defied ’ the sergeant to do so. - A scene of the wildest confusion and uproar prevailed. Quiet was finally restored, but the dead* - look continued until midnight, when , Browne and tlie Democratic wing, num bering twenty-eight - members,. walked out and organized ah other lower boom 1 all by themselves. This will complicate legislation this winter. FOUND IN A CISTERN. . REFORMS FOR MASSACHUSETTS. Gfivernor Hansel!

He advises that ihe law requiring the publi cation of election expenses be extended a d lie made more stringent The gov ernor deals with the question of the “lobby” at great length. He says: is far easier to state tile evil tnalt to sug- g -st the remedy. Clearly it ia impossi ble and improper to prevent a consti tuent or other person from having the freest access io a legislator. This coil- siilutionul rigid guaranteed to tlie people gives opjKirtunily to the lobby to do its work. Prevention by non-intercourse is therefore imjiossible. Prevention by publicity is [Hissibie, and I would sug gest for consideration whether a remedy may not he found in this direction by making easier titan it is uow to publicly investigate tlie methods used anil money spent ou pending legislation; and also by giving power lo some proper officer, be fore a measure finally becomes a law, to demand under oath a full and detailed statement as to these matters. The fear of publicity, and through it of defeat, may stop improper practices by making them worse than useless.” Governor Ru-sell strongly recom mends that the legislature petition con gress to latte action tor the proper pro tection of railroad employes against the dangers to which they pro exposed.
