Blaine’*
Thei> trial, which waa ‘concladed for years has oeen a
Tuesday in the United Slates dis*. fyone Blaine, although his record
trict court at Macon, says the At
lanta* Journal, was one of .the most
notable in the history of Georgia.
Six men, all welUknown citizens
and nearly every one of them men of
prominence in his community, were
indicted' for conspiracy and murder.
They were charged with plotting and
eflecling the assassination of Mr.
John C. Forsyth, the agent of . the
Dodges of New York, who have large
interests in south Georgia. The trial
continued a month. It was con
ducted witli great ability on both
aides. The jury retired last Saturn
day afternoon and did not reach a
verdict until Monday afternoon. Lu
ther A. Hall, Wright Lancaster and
Charles Clements were found guilty
of conspiracy and murder and re
commended to imprisonment for life.
John Lancaster and Loom Knight
were found guilty of conspiracy, a
crime punishable by a fine of from
$1 to $5,000 or imprisonment from
one to ten years or both.
James Moore was acquitted. It
is supposed that a pardon will be
asked by the court officials for Lem
Burch, who confessed. Luther A
Hall has for years beon one of the
most prominent men in Dodge coun*
ty. He is a lawyer of ability and
owns considerable property. He has
represented his county in the legis*
lature several times. Wright L iu
castet is sheriff of Telfair county
aud one of its uro* influential politi
cians. The murd^ of Mr. Forsyth
and the trial of the alleged rouspira
tors created great excitement
throughout several counties.
Council for the condemned will at
once make an effort to procure a new
trial, but the prospect is that the
verdict and the judgment of the
court will stand. The assassination
of John C. Forsyth was ooe of the
most dastardly crimes ever perpetrat
ed in this state, and no penalty which
the law prescrioe8 could be heavier
than his murderers deserve.

This human songstress was gifted
with a voice of marvellous stretch

in union with her amiable virtues
rendered her a remarkable woman
in many respects. Her death is
greatly deplored by the civilized
world over, and the niche she leaves

The election Weduesday was a very
quiet one, very few negroes voting at
all. Since the primary sys em was
inauguraied the corrupting influ
ences of African suffrage have well-
nigh been eliminated, and our polls
are no lo.iger the trysting place of
maudlin disorder and riotous de*
bauchery. The primary system
should be perpetuated.
The New York Herald, with great
z$rf and fire, is advocating Clias. A.
Dana, of the Sun, for Senator to step
into th? shoes of Everts. We fail to
perceive the wisdom or expediency
of the Herald’s move, and the whole
affair' is evidently a master stroke of
irony. Dana is a renegade, a man
who has persistently and maliciously
black mailed Cleveland, because of
personal spite. That Dana has abil
ity no one denies,but the faculties of
his mind have been perverted by his
all-absorbing spleen and egotistical
self-sufficiency. Dana'is the Judas
Iscariot of the Democratic party and
he deserves nothing at their hands
but repudiation.
Some time since Thus. Ree^, of
Maine, was the bone of contention, a
host within himself, and today he
is—0! Poor fellojr, he assailed the
constitutional bulwarks of uur free
dom, and he has paid dearly for his
mad freak. The Lethean waters
baver*ceived him into their bosom,
and the Maine autocrat won’t dis
turb the honest voters of tbe countiy
any more.
ATHENS REAL ESTATE.
The steady advance in the real es
tate market Tery naturally inspires
the query, “ Is the boom fictitious!’
Some eight or ten years ago Athens
real estate was not worth half the
pries that it readily brings now.
The explanation of this finds itself
in the fact that in tbe last decade
alone has our city acquired its title
to a place of business importance.
Our facilities have been enlarged—
our commercial and educational ad
vantages have been materially im
proved. It will follow “as tbe night
the day,”- that the real estate of a
cjty increases ih a degree cur res
ponding to the amount of business
interests centered there. The steady
advance in prices is in its infancy,
and you will be amazed wherf you
-contrast the prices of real estate
three years henee with its present
status. Our city Is on the threshold
lit of great industrial activity—an ac-
W tivity that will always be an ascend
ing series or ratio. Let those who
are tortured with skeptical doubts
stand aside like doubting Thomases,
and in three years they will reap a
harvest of barren regrets.
The two religious controversialists
who are now edifyttg (?) the people
With their refreshing displays of ig
norance, should be given a good
warm, comfortable coat of tar, with
an ornamental stratnm of feathers,
as a guerdon for tLeir aggressive
seal. We have never before read
such blasphemous declarations as
have flown from their pens. Instead
df following the meek and lowly
teachings of the Gaililean, they have
bean doing all in tiieir power to feed
the flames of malice and discord.
The express robbery!
The clue gradually developing!
The denouement expected soon!
Following hot on the trail!
One.of the perpetrators of the recent
express robbery near Greensboro stands
in excellent showing for donning the
stripes unless he is sharp enough to
elude the tireless pursuits of au experi
enced detective. ;
Yesterday a detective came through
Athens making inquies for oneE. J.
Cross, who, he said, played quite a
prominent role in the express robbery.
The detective said that tbe last thing
that was seen of Cross was at Winter-
ville, where he disembarked from the
train.
The detective has strong suspicions
that he was hiding in Athens and came
here for the purpose of capturing him.
lie lias an accurate enough ides of
the appeara'nce of the man to make
certain that no case of mistaken identi
ty shall occur.
There seems to be bright prospects
for unravelling the tangled skein of the
express robbery, and the detective is
specially employed for this purpose.
Beu # Hameon seems to be of a
speculative frame of mind, using bis
exalted office far tbe purposes of in
vestments, with sure aud profitable
returns. Ben would have made a
first-rate real estate agent; but what
a ridiculous burlesque he has made
for a Chief Magistrate of this great
country.
Governor Northeu’s conscientious
administration of State affairs, vin
dicates the wisdom of his choice. He
bas a large reserve quantity of moral
courage and unbending determina
tion. Gi orgia has every reason to
be proud of hir Chief Magistrate
whose incumbency will be an exem
plary one.

One ha I just finished telling how *
pcsty little chicken snake had deprived
himself and family of - breakfast: The
way this ca n*; about, was that the cook
ha-t become frigliteuen and left the
br-akfast to cook i r .self.
“Well,” said tbe oldest man in the
crowd, *-j our story smells o the lie.

will not believe me when 1 say that a
MILL WAS STOPPED BY A SNAKE,
but when I relate how it was done the
truth will be apparent- The mill was
located on a small stream, anil the dam
of which was made fiom plank, mud,
and fituB rocks all thrown together.
'This furnished a bountiful supply of
w uter for running tiie mill, but it was
de-tined lofall. On the “mud-sill” of
the darn, it'is said, 'here was a bed of
snakes, which began its existence with
that of the structure. Large snakes
were seen there in great numbers ail
during the spring and summer months,
and many of them were killed. People
were anxious not to go by that way,
but no ope ever dreamed that this bein'
of snakes were to prove so disastrous to
property owners as they did.
“One night in tile month of Augfist
the liiiller closed down the mill with
his usual care, and imagine liis sur-

THE FIRST BUILDING
Dana continues to wield the baton
of journalistic privilege, to the det
riment of Cleveland. Vinegar stems
lo have entered prominently into his
composition, and his unrealized am
bition has proved a spider in his
dumpling.
That Was Erected on the Campus of
the University.
Tbe old University campus lias grown
old since the first building was erected
within its precincts, and the old build
ings now making up the University of
Georgia, have themselves taken on a
look of age.
The new century had just dawned
when the foundations of a little two-
story house were laid on the campus. L
is now standing and tbe snows of ninety
winters have fallen silently upon its
roof. It is the building used as the re
ception room of the Latin and Greek
classes a few years since and stands just
baek of the old dormitory building.
It is now dedicated to religious ser
vices of the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation of the University, and every
Friday night there gathers a goodly
number of lioys at that piece to render
praise to G*d. *
It is quite fitting that the oldest build
ing on the campus should now be dedi-
sated to tbe promotion of religion.
Found Dkad.—Mr. Henry McElroy,
an old man who lives by himself iu
Santa Fe district, was found dead in his
house last Wednesday morning. There
were some slight bruises on his head,
but the jury Viid not think them suffi
cient to produce death. But there is
scute very strong suspicion of foul play.

Robert E. "A*e will be observed with

he could not conjecture, for the dam at
first appeared to be perfectly solid, but
on closer examination he discovered a
hole directly under lLe mudsill about as
large as a large powder keg. How the
hole came there, he could not tell. It
was perfectly round in shape, ar.d
number of neighbors came and. looked at
it, but none' could surmise how it came
there.
At length one went below the struct-

of this hole. Front this a

for ever now and then blood was seen
as the party continued their search

Finally tliv blood .-tains changed their
cuiirseand went into a thick wood
There blood was still seen, and the
party traced it to a large oak tree

the size of a flour bar

cured, a dthe bole gouged into several
times. Tile man who was using the
crow-bar at length stuck it into som. -
thing which held it fast. Two men got
hold of it and pulled it out, wlien to
their horror they disc >vered that it was
imbedded in a huge stamp tail mocca

This hu xe monster had actually work*

tauce from a city and the miller being
out of Hour, ret use 1 to borrow, and

necessary repairs were made, thus al
lowed bis family to suffer all day for

THE OFFICIAL VOTE.
The excellent pavement laid on
College AveDue is a standing adver
tisement . for the wisdom and expe
diency of our ordinance. • A solid
system of pavements furnishes no in
considerable incentive to outsiders
to locate in a town.
The scheme to advertise Athens
as suggested in yesterday’s Banner,
is a feasible one. It will unfold our
advantages to tbe world better than
through any other medium we could
adopt. _ -
It is sincetely to be boped that
Athens will be successful in her en
deavors to secure the federal court.
Buck, one of tbe Republican bosses,
is reported to be in favor of it.
Tbe credit system now in force in
Athens is carried to an inordinate
degree. Some measures should be
taken to modify the present system,
apd conduct business on a more
strictly cash basis.
THE DOCTOR’S MISTAKE

ber of cases it has wrought miracles,
still its efficacy has been comproo

tablish and define its merits before
introducing it into the human sys
tem.
Near Ending Two Prisoners'
Lives.
Atlanta, Jan. 8.—[Special.]—A jail
sensation leaked out this afternoon
Last night several revenue prisoners
were suffering with colic, and Dr. C. C.
Greft was called in. He administered
what he thought to be quiniue. Later
the two men were found unconscious in
their cells, evidently under the influ
ence of some opiate. Their lives were
saved by hard work, but the Dector’s
mistake came near being fatal. He had
given moiphine
This morning early two other revenue
prisoners escaped from the jail. Ooe
was recaptured about two hours af

The Late Race Between Messrs.
Strahan and Daniel Develops
Unique Feature.
In the recent election the pivotal fea
ture on which the interest turned was
tiie somewhat exciting contest between
Messrs. Chas.J M. Strahan and Chas
Daniel.
In the election sometime since fOr
legislative member, Mr. Daniel had
scratched the name of Hon. W. J. Mor
ton from the regular deuio ratic ticket
Emphasis is given to his action from
tbe fact that a negro republican bench
man was the opponent ot Mr. Morton
aud Mr. Daniel’s vote was equivalent
a support of Hawkins.
This issue was raised and a gr*
many voters were iu a quandary as ho
to vote, hesitating whether to stand by
tbe whole ticket or. vote for Strahan
basing their action on" the fact that
Daniel’s bolting tbe ticket forfeited for
him the obligations the voters of Clarke
Were tinder to support him.
The opinion generally prevalent wa<
that the democratic executive commit
tee should have asked Mr. Daniel to re
sign and secured a democrat who meas
ured up more squarely with the party
yard-stiek than did he.
But the Rubicon is crossed and Mr
Daniel has awakened to tbe fact that
is a suicidal policy for anyone to tam
per with the regular ticket.
Tbe hatchet is buried, the people have
decitled the issue at the polls, and the
e mucnUic goose ba ngs high.

M/s. Rhoda Holmes Nicholls wss born
in Coventry, England. She early evinced
a strong bias for art, which was encour
aged by her father, who was at that fit*
vicar of Iattlehampton.
Her first serious study commenced at the
Bloomsbury School of Art, where she car
ried off the queen’s scholarship for three
years, to which is attached a small pension,
farther increased in this case by u contri
bution from tbe queen and tlio judges.
Mrs..NichoIls availed herself of the pen
sion but a short time, leaving England for
Italy,.where she studied under Camerano
and Vertanni. Some water colors made
at this time procured her election to the
Circle Artistico. a select body of about
fifty artists, prominent among whom have
been Fortuny, Sunoneti; and V iHesgas.
Soon after ehe was elected to the Society

goons first made her known to America*

This is a branch of art comparatively little

seems admirably adapted. She delights in

bright as it was twenty-five yeara ago.
“Yon press the biltton; we do the

what these words advertise. They have
been so widely read and are so taking
and so suggestive of ability that every
body knotivs what they, refer to. To show
to what extant an advertisement with
brightness in it gets into the public

to the advertisement under comment

remark, “As merchants, as bankers and
