Not at all; the Alliance is bigger than

done about the presidency, the Alii'

heart to heart with a unity of ambition
and a unity of aim.
It is not generally known that Athens
lays claim to one of the very best nur
series in this region of the South. Mr
Thurmond, the proprietor of the nur
sery, is a fruit grower of very wide ex
perience, and to his enterprising labors
much praise is due for building up
the Athens nursery. This is an in
stitution that should receive generous
recognitions from every Athenian.

An exchange rises to remark that the
farmers of the country never knew un
til this winter how many friends they
had among the mo?' prominent men in
both political parties, but talk is cheap,
and the farmers require something more
substantial. Bight. And if signs count
for aught they are going to have some
thing more substantial.
The Atlanta Constitution’s Washing
ton correspondent says: “Therehas
been much gossip about the house of
representatives over the predictions of
the newspaper correspondents as to who
will be speaker of the next bouse. The
democratic members of the present
house stand just about like the corres
pondents, If a vote was taken among
the democrats now m congress, the
chances are that Judge Crisp would get
two-thirds of thee- tire vote. Nearly all
of the old members and the best i inform
ed politicians say that his election is an
absolute certainty.”
Says the Augusta Evening News:
The recent letter of Mr. Cleveland em
phasizes more than ever the possession
by him of one element that is sadly
needed in public affairs. He is thor
oughly honest and will not equivocate,
even if the statement of his honest con
victions leads to the destruction of his
political future. This is something to
admire and those who believe him a
dead man politically will flud him a
very lively corpse. The people of the
United States admire an absolutely
fearless and honest man. Mr. Cleve
land Is not in harmony just now with
the majority of his psrty on the silver
question, but things may so shape them
selves by next year as to make him the
pre-eminently available man.
THE BANNER AND THE ALLIANCE.
It is gratifying to The Banner
that its efforts for the supremacy of
the Farmers’ Alliance are appre*
ciated by those for whom they are
intended to benefit.
The Banner realized in the outset
that its first duty was to the farming
classes. To their cause allegiance
i was given and the paper will always
be found laboring for the good of
the farmers of Georgia and for the
great organized movement to free
them from oppressive monopolies,
We are more than rewarded by the
warm expressions of appreciation
that we have received from pro inis
nent Alliancemen. Mr. George T.
Morrell, President of the Clarke
County Alliance, has endorsed the
direction of The Banner’s efforts to
aid the Alliance. Senator Ellington
who is lecturing to Alliancemen all
over this section of Georgia, has said
that The Banner is sqnarely on the
line of the Alliance and is giving
much good advice and sound doc
trine to the Alliancemen. Others
have given ns their friendly recogni
tion as one of the Alliance’s organs
and with the numerous letters
are receiving day after day from- all
sections of the State endorsing nnr
coarse and urging us to the Alli
ance’s battle-front, we sorely feel
more than gratified.
The sincerity of The Banner’s
faith and allegiance to the Alliance
is incomparable, and the farmers

But the Chamber of Commerce Dld’nt
Meet- A Hame Factory Will Proba
bly Come.
The Chamber of Commerce did not
hold its meeting yesterday, despite the
calls that had been published in The
Banner.
If the members had been present,
some very important matters would
have been brought up before the body
by President McMahan.
One letter that the president has is
very important and should be acted
upon as soon as possible.
It is from a Blanchester, Ohio firm,
who wish to start a hame factory here
to employ at least one hundred bands.
The building thev propose to erect
will be 100x30 feet and thoroughly
equipped in every way for the work.
This will be a big thing for Athens
and every possible inducement should
be given to the firm to locate here.
With one hundred men employed the
population of Athens will be increased
five hundred, for it is estimated that
each man represents five women and
children. This is a low estimate but
about as correct as can be derived at.
There were other important things
thst should have been attended to. An
other meeting will be called in a short
time and it is hoped that a full attend
ance will be the result. Ample time
will be given for the notice to reach
every one.

AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Two Men Are Adjudged Insane And
Sent to the Asylum.
Yesterday afternoon, at the court
house a jury was called for the purpose
of hearing the c.ises of John Prater am!
Sherman Horne suspected of lunacy.
Sherman Horne has been insane for a
short time and has created several dis
turbances at his home in East Athens.
He was the young man’who tried to
kill his mother and sister some time
ago.
Mr. Prater’s mind has been rather
weak for several years but he was only
recently thought violent.
Sheriff Weir will leave this morning
with them for the asylum, as they were
both adjudged insane.
There is only room for one but the
Qrdinary will send them both in the
hope that both can get in.
Judge Herrington says work will com

Dissolution of Partnership.
The partnership heretofore existing
between the undersigned as real estate
agents under the name of Oates & Gantt
has this day been dissolved by mutual
consent owing to Mr. Gantt’s connec
tion with the Southern Alliance paper,
which will necessitate his living in At
lanta. Respectfully,

In reference to the above the business

Athens, Ga., Jan. 26. 1891,
My connection with the Alliance
Farmer will prevent my longer contin
uing in the real estate business, as I
shall devote my entire time to editorial
duties.
1 have therefore this day disposed of
my interest in the real estate business
in Athens to Mr. E. F. Oates, who will
continue the same.
I wish to say that my connection with
Mr. Oates has been a most agreeable
one, and that 1 was never associated
with a more high-minded, honorable
gentleman. I ask my friends to con
tinue their patronage with Mr. Oates,
and assure them entir j satisfaction. In
fact, to Mr. Oates belongs tbe praise for
the pre-eminent success our business
has attained in so short a time.
Respectfully,

A Macon Editor Takes off His Hat to
Fair Athens.
The Macon Evening News in a lead
ing editorial has the following:
To issue bonds—
This is what Athens proposes doing.
Bondsjir no bonds will be the proposi
tion voted on by the people of the Clas
sic City at an early day.
We are told in a special telegram that
the pressing needs for internal improve
ments in the city have caused tha coun
cil to pass an ordinance submitting this
proposition to the people for a vote.
With this money it is proposed
make many needed int provements
the city, principal among which will be
the improvement of the streets of the
city.
The sidewalks are in terrible condi
tion, and the citizens are carrying away
so much of the soil on their feet that
the sidewalks are becoming much los er
than the streets, and the yards of the
aforesaid citizens are being rapidly fill
ed up. Wagons are breaking down con
stantly in the mud, and to say that im
provement is going to be made is tut
voicing the sentiment of the people
The outlook for the issuing of -the
bond is a bright one.
And if they are issued Athens will
blossom as the rose.
How applicable all the forgeoing is to
Macon. Athens condition as to muddy
streets and miserable sidewalks is Ma
con’s. But Athens seems to have more
of the spirit of public enterprises than
Macon. Her people appear more pro
gressive. Perhaps there are less fogies
and soieheads there than in this city.
Think of as small a place as Athens,
as compared to Macon, issuing bonds
for street improvements, while
Macon does not budge an
inch in such an under
taking. Macon can never be the
city that nature intendeed she Bhou’d
be until a few croakers are laid undei
the sod.
Cities all around her are issuing bonds
for street improvements, but Macon
appears contented to remain in the
mud.
It is a spectacle calculated to make
men and angels weep.

He went down in all probability to
see Mr. Harris about arrangement of
schedules, etc., which will be put on.
It is not known when tbe mules will he

track may be be pushed, but it is believ
ed it will be done in a few days, as soon
as the condition of the streets is favor
able.
Tbe schedule has not been arranged
but ears will be run every ten minutes,
making it convenient to reach any part
of tbe city in fifteen minutes.
Mr. Voss is expected back to-day,
when everything pertaining to the road
will be found out and made public.
Not much lime will be occupied in

count on soon having the electric cars.

The brilliant doctor has a long sto y
in Sunday’s New York Herald. In tt
ho makes some startling, statements and
some refreshingly naive confessions
about the imprisonment of ex-President
Davis in Fortress Monroe. His article
was called forth by Mrs. Davis’ state
ment in her memoirs that her husband
was brutally treated while imprisoned
there.
***
Dr. Dorman may yet succeed in the
world of fiction, his imagination is
vivid and picturesque. He has the ad
vantage of Jules Verne and Baron
Munchausen for he will support his
statements with affidavits.
The unique doctor in his story says
that Jefferson Davis was a pampered
prisoner, that he lived off the fat of the
land, that his apartments were magnifi
cently furnished and that toe swam in
champagne and dreamed amidst the
smoke of the finest liavannahs. That
no fetters were used, that they were not
even thought of, that the world is mis
taken and history fooled.
# # *
Those are the startling statements
that I referred to. There is another
though chat sounded a little queer to
me. He admits that Mr. Davis was
put in a casement at first and says in a
very natural way that it was done be
cause the soldiers would have “shot him
down” had he been put where they
could easily have gotten at him. Ver
ily, the genial doctor, who also admits
that he wanted to poison his famous
prisoner, will have the whole G. A, R.
after him.
***
There were a few foolish people in
this part of the world who thought, and
even unguardedly said, that there were
some soldiers ip the northern army who
would do almost anything, but it re
mained Sot the bizarre doctor to state
that a whole fort full would shoot on
sight an old man who had no means of
defending himself. I would be glad to
believe that this queer genius was ad
dicted to the use of intoxicants, but I
cannot. The Herald says that he is
highly respected, and the statement
that these soldiers would do as he saj 8,
is plain and distinct. Will the G. A. R.
please explain.
**•
This same specimen also says that ho
was the steward at Fortress Monroe and
that he will support all bis statements
with affidavits.!! may be mistaken but I
have such an abiding faitii in Southern
womanhood, and Mrs. Davis in partic
ular,that I would take her simple word
as the truth before 1 would look at all
the affidavits every .man in the world
could pile up.
***
Superstition is not confined to ne
groes alone, it is widespread and con
spicuous everywhere. I see that tbe
Rev. Felix Morgan .is being tried in
Providence, Rhode Island, for pay
ing homage to Hoodo gods. It
is said that he has converted a young
lady in his fiock and a first class scan
dal is fondly hoped for.
***
Will the citizens of Athens vote for
the bonds or not ? That is the question
that is agitating the minds of everyone
now
1 have talked to at least fifty gentle-
in the last few days and the idea scents
to be that the bonds will be issued most
certaiuly.
If the younger generation can con
trol anything they most certainly will
Some of the advocates of the
bonds are a little uneasy
however, for they think the absolute
absence of any opposition to the bonds
may mean something and that the oppo
nents of the measure are like Brer Fox
“layin’ low.”
.**
The idea thougp, that the measure
will be defeated seems preposterous.
The citizens of Athens are surely not so
sadly behind the times as to wish to
stick in the mud forever. Forty, fifty,
or even seventy-fiive years of mud can
be stood, but when the state of sticky
blesseduess gives promise of extending
into eternity it must be cut abort.

In spite of the notice given during
the week, the meeting of tbe Chamber
of Commerce did not materialize. A
prominent real estate man was talkinj
to me yesterday evening and he use
some rather spicy language in regard to
the failure of the members to appear on
the scene of action.
V
“I think,” he said, “that this state of
affairs has gone on long enough and
should stop. This was the first meet
ing called in a long time and was very
important and there was not a quorum
present. As the thing is run r.ow, it is
a detriment to the town. I hope sin
cerely that tin members of tbe organiza
tion will take sufficient interest in the
welfare of Athens to show up when the
next meeting is called.” ‘

There is something that the police
can well afford to look after and some
thing that needs attention. I refer to
the congregation of idle negroes around
the Commercial Hotel.

that always adorn the Commercial cor

and your efforts will be appreciated.

Another Snakk.—A little snake was
found in the Washington street school
yesterday and a little confusion resul
ted, but a ferrule soon dispatched him.
Police Cihcles.^No arrests were
made yesterday. Everything was quiet
in police circles and the guardians of
peace wore a blue looking smile.
Preparing to Plant.—The ladies of
the city who have gardens are prepar
ing to plant their choice spots in vege
table seeds and soon the hand of indus'
try will be busy throughout tbe land.

Gcod For Some.—The recent bad
weather lias been good to some of
A hens’ merchants. The shoe men re
port that tbe rubber shoe trade has been
excellent the past few days and
umbrellas and rubber coats have been in
great demand.
The Sidewalks Better.—The mud
on the sidewalks is drying, making
pedestrianie.ni possible, and many ladies
were on the streets yesterday afternoon
shopping.
New Houses.—Mrs. T. A. Adams
will build several neat and substantial
colleges on Oconee street in the near
future. Mrs. Adams has already given
the contracts and the buildings will be
finished as soon as possible.
Improvements.—Mr. Kenney the
popular contractor will commence work
pn Mr. Betts home on Hill street,
remodelling it and making other im
provements. This will make a hand
some home when finished.
Being Cleared Away.—A gentle
man who came down on the Northeast
ern road yesterday states tiiat the
wreckage is being rapidly removed and
that in a few days nothing will remain
of the last mash'up. -
The Fruit Prospect.—If the warm
weather continues, fruit trees will be
budding and the first cold snap would
ruin the crop prospect. That is the
reason last year’s yield was so little.
Speaking of Rock.—Some have the
idea that granite can not easily be ob
tained, if Athens decides to pave her
streets. Where are the Lexington and
Elhertongruuite quarries? Lexington
can be reached by the Ga.. Railroad
and Elberion by the G. C. & N.
A Colored People’s Lodge.—The
colored people have organized a lodge
in East Athens and have built a nice
two story building. They will have it
furnished nicely and will rent the lower
(lour as store-rooms.
Moke Mules.—Several car loads of
mules came in yesterday aud Athens is
fast becoming the center of the mule
trade of Georgia. Several large droves
were seen to pass through the streets
yesterday and they were fine ones too

came into Athens yesterday with only
one bale on each wagon. The mules
could not pill two bales of cotton so

did. They were all the.property of one
man.
On the Campus.—The boys on the
campus have at last aroused themselves
from their lethargy and the the campus
last night was filled with me’odies con
sisting of “Annie Rooney” etc. This
is the first noise that has been made on
the campus for some time and is a sure
sign that spring is coming.
He Has Gone.—The flying jenny
man has like the arab, folded liis tent
and silently stolen away. He will be
missed by the children who would con
gregate around and make every thing
lively, thereabouts, also by the neigh-
b >rs who will miss his sweet toned or

Rutherford will soon bring out ber

very satisfactory and flattering offers
from the Lippi ncotts in reference to its
publication. She is in correspondence
with many leading authors on both
sides of the the Atlantic.
The Party is Made Up.—Miss Millie
Rutherford has made up her European
party for next summer. Among them
are Miss Mamie Sibley, of Augusta ;Miss
Mary Newton Cobb, of Atlanta; Miss
Elizabeth Edwards, of Memphis; Miss
Nannie Smith and Miss Mattie Hunni-
eutt, of Athens. The party of eight or
twelve will leave in Juns
and be gone several months.
Miss Minnie Cabanniss, of Atlanta, will
join the party in Switzerland.
Farmer’s Daughter.
“I have the best wife in town,” he
said; “she can cook bake, sew on but
tons, iron shirts and do all other work
incident to house keeping” “you must,”
said a friend “have married an Alliance
farmer’s daughter” The farmer and
Ms daughter are invited to Skiffs the
Jewelers, he is selling for cash and has
nut one price and that the low pru ,
this one price low price and cash thus
far is working satisfactory.

It will be surprising news t > many in
Athens to learn that Capt. Jno. C.
