A Splendid business is promised

Enterprising fellows, they deserve it

Italy’s sunny face is now distorted
in frowns at Uncle Sam. It goes with
out saying that Uncle Sam caresnothing
for fair Italy’s pouting.
It seems that an evil star has arisen
over Italians. No sooner had tbe
Mafia tragedy subsided than news
comes of the drowning of two hundred
Italians at Gibraltar.
“What We Do?” is the title of a
fanny paper to be published in Charles
ton. To say the least of the adventure
it starts out on very shaky ground
selecting the Earthquake City for its
birthplace.
Editor Crawford, of the Athens
Banner, disarms us with one of the
kindest and most gentlemanly replies
to our eommeots on recent, publications
in his paper. — Southern Alliance
Farmer.
And this shows that Editor Gantt
is fair enongu v3°a^»uowledge and re
pair a wrong whenever he is brought to
see it.
The New York Sun says that the de
feat of the Force bill “was a victory of
leadership, not of rhetoric.” It was
neither It was a victory of public
sentiment and united democracy.—St.
Louis Republic.}
Yes, and what is more it was tbe last
nail in the coffin of tbe republican
party.
Frank Hight is winning laurels in
his newspaper experience on The
Athens Banner. His many friends
here will be pleased to learn of his suc
cess.—Anniston Hot Blast.
Another evidence that The Banner’s
excellences are being appreciated by
the public in Alabama as well as they
are in Georgia.
The Constitution gives up a column
of its sDace to letters on “What Atlanta
Wants.” It could have been told in a
line Down hero it is generally be
lieved that Atlanta wants the earth
and d first mortgage on heaven.—Sa
vannah Times].
And she will get both.—Atlanta Con-
tution.]
Just as the Banner has always said,
yets every tbiag she wants.
Marriage may or may not be a
failure, but Ordinary Herrington, of
this county, has his bands full supply
ing licenses just the same. And the
courts are also busy with divorce suits.
Hence, the previous question.
The mercury seeks zero on a hot
summer’s day when Grover Cleveland
fails to create a sensation in tbe Demo
cratic party. He still has a head on
him similar in its anatomy to that of
Collins’ rain. <
Perhaps if there were a greater num
ber of lawyers in tbe legislative bodies
of the country, there would be fewer
defective laws.—Tribune-of-Rome.
Maybe so. But there would be a
sight more laws, and that’s what tbe
matter with Hannah, now.
Editor Branham of the Tribune-of-
Rome must have bad a congestive chill
when he penned the following doubtful
little bit of editorial comment upon tbe
fickle weather: “The blizzard arrived
yesterday, and spriug time, gentle An
nie, relapsed into the lap of winter.
Summer will probably put in its appear
ance today.”
“Is tbe country safe?” shrieked a re
publican orator tbe other day. Oh yes,
it is safe. No earthquakes are due, the
Italians have started no gunboats in
this direction, and tbe dudes are grad
ually being killed by cigarette smoke.
The country is safe—along sight safer
than the republican party.—Tribune-of-
Rome.
Somebody hit tbe bass drum bard,
please* Branham, thou art a brick.
Rome, Augusta, Cuattanooga and
Macon all had bad results from the re
oent rains.—Athens Banner.
Omit Rome, if you please. The city
did not suffer bad results from the re
cent rains.—Borne Tribune.
Leave out Chattanooga, my friend:
she did not suffer. And then, as Macon
is always suffering from bad- results ol
some sort or another, you baye only
Augusta left to sing a tale of Woe.—
Chattanooga News.
With an undisputed authority over all
the cities mentioned during all weather,
and no bad results from the recent
slight dampening, Augusta is not sing
ing any tales of woe at present.—Au
gusts Chronicle.
Gracious! What a chain of evidence
this makes against the newspaper re
ports that were sent out from the of
fices of these same journals about the
recent rains! Come, Macon, speak out
tby tale of woe!
A telegram to the New York Sun
says it is certain that Allianceman Gor
don will be the next president of tbe Al
liance. What strange things one sees
in print.—Athens Banner. Why
strange ? Tbe Alliance could not have
a more worthy president than Senator
Gordon. He joined tbe order after reek
ing and obtaining office, not before.—
Tribune-of-Rome. True. But has
Branham forgot the racket Alliance
Gordon raised in tbe order before he be
fore be "became a brother?—Athens
Banner.] He raised no racket. The
fuss was made by Leonidas Livingston,
one C. W. Macune, an alien, and a lot
of little fellows who longed for cash
more than for the good of the state.
Let the truth of history prevail.—Rrib-
une-of-Rome.
The fact still remains that General
Gordon flatly refused to endorse the
principal of the Alliance, and the rumor
that be will be made president of the
Alliance, we repeat, sounds strange.
THE AUGUSTA AND CHATTANOOGA-
This railroad is one of tbe most
important to Athens that could pos
sibly be built. Its route being an
airline from the South to the West,
and running as it does through some
of tbe very richest agricultural, tim
ber and mineral lands to be found
in the Southern Slates, the road
ought to appeal to every citizen of
Athens and to tbe people all along
its route for a certain and speedy
completion.
Lincoln and Wilkes counties are
ready and willing to join Athens
and build the line from Augusta to
this point, and many of the counties
above Athens have indicated their
anxiety to aid liberally in its con
struction. All this only shows what
an absolute need such a line ie to
the section through which it will
pass.
About twenty miles of the road
has been graded and tbe track has
been laid on it. This was done sev
eral years ago when the projected
road was in other bands. A few
more miles will bring the cars to Lit.
tie River in Lincoln county.
President Mitchell says all the
money necessary to bnild the road
is in sight, and can be secured in
New York on a moment's notice.
He prefers, however, to get the fund
from people aloiig tbe line, and is
now hard at work on this task.
Let Athens see the benefits to
come ot this great trunk line and
subscribe liberally to the fund. Build
this road of all others !
come from the men who viewed the
battle from afar. Mr. Crowder, we
also agree, ottered the words of a
brave man when he said that he
crossed the mountains to get a gun
to fight the Confederates ; that he
had never turned his back upon them
in battle and would not do so now
by voting against the bill.
The Banner loves to hear the ut
terance ot such manly and courage
ous sentiments. Iu voting to estab
lish the Home these gentlemen have
said the Confederate veteran has
done no wrong, neither before the
tribunal of conscience nor before the
throne of Heaven, and he must be
nursed with comforts in his declin
ing years. Who would deny him
that which his State has a right to
give him ?
There is not a man under the sun
with noble heart and liberal mind
bat who would condemn the bitter
intolerance and prejudice of some
Northern partizans who seek by
every chance to t brow a slur upon the
South.
Such narrow-mindedness is out of
date in this country to-day.

BRAVE AND HONORABLE.
The four ex-Union soldiers in the
Tennessee legislature who voted for
the bill appropriating $25,000 for a
Home for Confederate soldiers mast
be called brave and honorable men.
Men they are whose minds are
broad enough in days of war or in
days of peace to do their sworn duty;
men whose natures are hedged in by
no corrosive tie of narrowness, no
foolish passion or prejudice.
The Banner’s hearty concurrence
is given the Knoxville Tribune when
it says Representative Whitaker
spoke trnly when he declared that
tbe great mass of volunteers had
fought fair and square, and he made
a distinction between them and the
conscripts, drafted men and substi
tutes. Tbe harsh words, said he,
Catarrh Can’t be Cured

cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease and in order to cure it you have
to take internal remedies. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is no
quack medicine, It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this conn-
try for years, and is a regular prescrip
tion. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting direcrly on tbe mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials free.

He Knew the Governor.—'There is
a good story told on a young man," who
I may have been in Athens, as follows:
Gov. Northen was just leaving the
capital when a little dude spoke to
him.
“Say, is the Governor in his office?”
“No, sir.”
“Oh, I’ll bet he is. He may have
sent word to you that he was out, but
he’ll not treat me that way.”
“Doyou know him?”
“Knowhim? Know Bill Northen?
Well, I should smile. We are very in
timate. I spent a month with him last
summer—ran his campaign for him
and now he wants to see me on an im
portant matter.”
“I think you are mistaken, sir.”
The speaker’s cold stare and positive
tone nettled the dude.
“May I ask your name,” he asked,
haughtily.
“Oh—ah—:
sir?”
“I am the Governor, sir.”
“The devil 1” retorted thelittld dude.
And with that be made a break through
the vacant door, leaving the Governor
looking after him with an amused

The sale of the Gantt lots yesterday
was one of the most important Athens
has witnessed for many a day.
There was some lively bidding, too,'
that followed when Andy Coleman!
took the stump and began to cry it off
to the men who stood around in the 1
drizzling rain, to buy up the land. |‘
The rain didn’t keep back the crowd ,
a bit and this showed what a great de- !
uiand there is for Athens real estate. I
Here is a list of the lots sold and
the bidders who bought them : ,
No. 1 Bought by Walter Maxwell, of I
Crawford, at $38 per front foot—30 ft,
making $2,640.
No. 2 Bought by J. H. Reaves at $39
per front foot—25 ft, making $875.
No. 3 Bought by H. W. Bell, of Jef
ferson, at. $36 per front foot—25 ft mak
ing $900.
No. 4 Bought by H. W. Bell at $32
per front foot—25 ft, making $800.
No. 5 Bought by H. W. Bell at $29
per front foot—25 ft making $725.
No. 6 Bought by W. M. Pittman at
$26 per front foot—34 ft, making $650.
No. 8 Bought by W. A. Jester at
$35 per front foot—34 ft, making $1,190.
The total receipts from the sale
amounted to $7,880.
The sales were good ones through
and through, and Mr. Gantt made mon
ey in the deal. .He bought the entire
lot for $10,000 not long ago, and has
sold about half of it for nearly the orig
inal price.
There is a lesson in the sales of yes
terday. They tell that the city’s real
estate is as precious as it ever was, and
is growing more and moie precious ev
ery day.
Wonderful Statistics.
When it is considered that the per
centage of deaths from consumption is
91 per thousand against 63 per thousand

Counsel.
The division counsel of theRichmoEd

Messrs. Barrow & Thomas, who for
years have served in that position have
resigned.
This was something of a surprise in
Athens, as the gentlemen had done Buob
able and distinguished services iu be
half of this road.
It is said that their resignation was
caused by the disposition of the Termi
nal system to reduce the salaries of its
attorneys and economize iu that direct
tion.
The salaries were accordingly cut,
and Messrs. Barrow & Thomas re
signed.
An effort was made to see these gen
tlemen last night, but it was unsuccess-

Tbe fact that they have resigned is
quite true, and tbe above is tbe cause as
