Of coarse he made the Central Hotel his stopping place, aud right.here will take occasion to say that there is not a more popular house in Georgia. It is kept by Mrs. Barber, who knows exactly how a hotel should be run. Tbe rooms are comfortable and tbe fare ex cellent as many of the drummers from Athens and other points can testify to. Harmony Grove is one of the growing towns of the State. A new bank build ing iasoon to be erected, while another large brick building will go up at the same time. Contracts for these have been let. Tbe homes are all comforta ble and tasty and not a few of them new. The financial condition is. very good. The tax rate is only -40 enjs on the hundred dollars. With a population of 800 and the cotton receipt* annually being 14,000 bales, and a splendid trade from all the neighboring country, we repeat the financial condition is good and the outlook bright. To, add to this her town affairs are placed in the hands of capable and wor thy officials. Mr. T. E. Key wears worthily the honors of the mayor aud has for his councilmen the following gentlemen, all honored and respected business men: Mr. E. B. Anderson, John D. Barnett, Dr. F. M. Hubbard and Mr. D. C. Nichols. Mr. W. W. Stark is City Attorney and Mr. W. A. Quillian, Treasurer. Her educational facilities are very fine. The Harmony Grove High School is something of which all the people of Harmony Grove may be proud. It is a handsome brick structure, costing *8,000, and it is the paying for this building that makes the taxes as high as 40 cents on the hundred dollars. The school is presided over by Prof. J. H. Walker, a graduate of the University, class ’87, a very popular and well in formed young man. He has for bis as sistant Rev. G. W. Duvall, and Misses Lizzie Peek, Ida Shankle and Mbs Ad- die Stokely is music teacher. The number of pupils enrolled this season is more than 200 with 153 now in attendance. In this number there are twenty-five boarders. The rate of tui tion is very low, the average being two dollars per month. Four years ago Prof. Walker took charge, the number of scholars being 80, while the average attendance this year has been 180. There is also another schotl in two miles of the place presided over by Mr. J. E. J. Lord, with one hundred names enrolled on the list of scholars. Religiously, Harmony Grove has a record not to be ashamed of. The Bap tists, Methodists and Presbyterians each have neat and comfortable boild- ings in which to worship. Rev. Wm. Coile fills the pulpit at the Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Newton, the Presbyterian'and Rev. G» W. Duvall the Methodist. Tlte attendance on both church and Sunday School exercises is very gratifying to the good people of that section. In the secret fraternities the Masons are most popular, there being two lodges here, the Royal Arch and the blue'and both have a large active membership. On Thursday night a large delegation of their bretherin went to Jefferson to institute a new lodge. Among the largest and strongest business firm is that of Hood, Anderson & Co. They are the gentlemen who will shortly commence the erection of the new Rark building, and who will own a large share of capital stock. R. A.

His prices are very reasonable. For cabinets he gets *1 for 4 and $2.60 per dozen, card size 4 dozen $1, other prices in propotion to 8x10 pictures. Stapler & Co., W. J. Stapler and T Cole, proprietsrs of the wagon and buggy works, have & splendid business They put out quite a lot of new work which always gives satisfaction while they do a large business in the repair line. They use nothing hut the best material. Nothing infearior in this line allowed in their shop. They manu facture cultivators, and shipped 200 of them to South Carolina this year. They have been in business three years, and their success has been all that they could have hoped for. Their wagons and buggies will compare very favorably with any offered on the market. One of the leading business houses of the place is that of Mr. C. D. Stark, who has been merchandising at his pres ent stand for the past five years. The increaso in his business is very great Frotn $10,000 his sales now reach $25,000. He carries a full line of gro ceries and dry goods. An evidence of bis prosperity is found in the fact that all liis clothing, ready-made, were sold out before Christmas. Mr. Stark never fails to sell a man the second time who will give him the first showing, He also has a fine line of buggies and har ness, and has also a good trade in this line. His shoe trade is also quite an item. We have no hesitation in rec ommending this bouse as_ one of tbe most prompt and reliable in Harmony Grave. W. A. Quillian & Bro. have for tbe last ten years occupied their present lo cation, and their business has steadily increased all these .years. Mr. J. J. Quillian. of tbe firm, is now in Cincin nati baying buggies. They sell num bers of these as well as harness. Their stock of dry goods and groceries is very large. Power & Williford are among the leading houses of the place, carrying a splendid line of merchandise. The wri ter did not get to speak with either of them, as one was North and the other in Athens. But, we could see from tbeir stock and learned from the clerks that the firm was enjoying a splendid patronage. Among-the prominent firms of course we must number T. E. Key & Co. Mr. Key went from Athens to Harmony Grove several years ago,and commenced business, carrying a general line of Ex-Secretary Bayard has aged a good groceries, dry goods, etc. Mr. Key was VOL. 59-NO. 14 glad to know that his house has a large and growing trade.

A great deal of it is sold in this and adjoining states, and almost without any adver tising. The Barber band, which furnished the music iu the chapel here this week, is one of the attractions of the place. The serenades by this band are always appreciated. Want of room prevents a more ex tended notice. ■m A BUSY SCENE. WHERE INDUSTRIAL ATHENS fS CLEARLY SET FORTH. A Wonderful Industry Is That of Klein and Martin—What a Plucky Pair of Mon Have Done for Athens—Great I mprovements. After studying awhile the old “B. G.” said he could only name one, and there was some doubt about her get- tiug it, as the death was due to a fight member of this famous company was also at home on furlow. He and Nat Harris imbibed a little too much corn whiskey, and a fight was the result. Bob McCollum stabbed Nat Harris aud killed him. Bob was arrested and put in jail at Horner. He had his trial at the- next term of the Superior Court, found guilty and sen tenced to the penitentiary, where he stayed until Gov. Brown turned out the convicts. Now the question is will the widow A NARROW ESCAPE. Duquesne Traction company’s power house at Bon New Street Railroad. Carrollton, Ga., Feb. 19.—It seems now that Carrollton’s street railroad will materialize very soon. The . matter is being worked up and lines will be built ere long to the depots from. the poblift 4- busy scene of industry. That’s what confronts the eye of the visitor who enters the spacious rooms of Klein aud Martin’s wood and iron shops. Here is to be seen the livest and most industrious set of laborers, the best reg ulated system of work and the most complete and attractive stock of vehi cles, harness, carriages, buggies and wagons for farm and city use to bo found in Georgia. BOMB WONDERFUL ENLARGEMENTS. Some very notable enlargements have recently been made in every department of the shops, and what is better for Athens’ future prosperity,as well as for the continued success of this enterpris ing firm, many more improvements will be made before the year is ended. The concern grows bigger every day. •‘Yes,” said Mr. H. E. Martin, one of the enterprising members of the firm to a Banner reporter yesterday, “we have determined to build up our establish ment fully in keeping with the wonder ful growth of Athens and her surround ing country. We have very greatly en larged our facilities for turning out the very best vehicles to be found in any shops South. THE MACHINERY IS PERFECT. “Besides almost doubling the floor space of our building we have brought into|use at some expense it is true, the very finest machines and tools known to tbe science and trade. “We have employed and keep con stantly at work more than twenty bands, equal to more than thirty with the use of the very latest appliances. And what is far better tbe prospects are such that lead us to contemplate even greater additions in the near future. “But look at some of our work.” Here Mr. Martin conducted the re porter to a spacious hall and ushered iim into a scene of many dazzling at tractions. Dozens of handsome buggies, car riages, surreys,road carts and other ve hicles drawn up in solid lines were there, and tbe shapeliness of their fash ion and tbe beauty of their color almost outrivalling the rich varnish of an old Stradivarius violin made it„a charming array of workmanship, in very truth. “We are also better prepared to do repairing than ever before and for making vehicles to order. The wood work and iron work is all carried on to gether and we can take an order for a wagon and have it finished before night. How does that strike you? “Yes,” he continued, “we are ready at all times to do the very best repair ing to be done in any shops of this coun try.. Wagons or buggies are put i&_ good shape on short notice, and horse shoeing Is executed according to the latest improvements. If anybody thinks, however, that we only do re pairing they are mistaken. We are each day turning out wagons, buggies, carriages and the like in rapid succes sion, and our harness department is al ways filled with the very best single and double harness to be found in the land.” “There are six departments to our in dustry now: Wood work, blacksmir,h- ing, painting, trimming, horse shoeing nd tbe harness departments. “The harness department is as com plete as any other, though it is only a recent institution with us.” The reporter came away concluding that there is not a more successful ana thorough establishment in Athens than this, and not a more enterprising pair of f entlemen anywhere than are Messrs. [. E. Martin and J. H. Klien. ’Rah for Klein & Martin! DAILY MARKET REPORT. Produce. New Yoke.
