The Athens Dispensary Not holding Up to
Its Big Business.
The Athens liquor dispensary is not
holding up to the big business of the
first month, but it is still flourishing and
will turn into the city ab~ug $lO,OOO a
year. The Banner says: ‘‘After the
four months during which the dispensa
ry has been established, it is found that
the business is falling off to a considera
ble degree. The sales for October, the |
opening month, ran over $7,000, for De
cember they were $5,500, while for Jan
ary they went to $4,700, a decrease of
5800 between December and J anuary.
‘The fact of the business is that the four
‘best months of trade have gone, and that
‘the sales for the rest of the year will not
i average as high as they have been dur
| ing these four months. At any rate,
‘ the business is falling off at present,
‘and will not be as it has been, while the
icxpcnses remain about the same,”

Lawsuit Over an Egg. '
At Athens; last week, a farmer came
along witli @ heti, and, meeting an Ath
ens merchant, they soon drove a bar
gain, and the hen was left at the mer
chant’s store. The farmer went off,
saying that e would call by a little later
and get the money. He had hardly got
ten ought of sight when the hen laid an
egg. The farmer soon came back and
demanded the egg in addition tc his pay
for the hen. The merchant paid him
’ for the hen, but refused to turn over the
egg to him. This caused much argu
‘ ment and some feeling between the par
‘tieé. The dispute is apt to get into the
‘court.
Third Party Congressmen.
E. P. Speer, the well-known Washing
ton correspondent, sends the following
item:
“I think it may be safely stated that
some of the Democratic Alliancemen
'now in Congress will make haste very
soon to get aboard the Third Party wag
on. They are beginning to talk that
way because of the dissatisfaction oyer
the silver bill vote. The announcement
of a few Third Party opponents will be
apt to cause them to show their hands.”

LeARY, March 29.—Yesterday Capt.P.
E. Boyd started two two-horse wagons,
loaded with lumber, to his plantation at
Williamsburg, and as the teans were
crossing the Notchaway creek they got
into deep water and both wagons to
gether with the lumer were lost, and it
was with much difficulty the drivers
succ.:eded in extricating the mules in
time to save them from drowing, besides
ones of the negroes couldn’t swim and
he came near being drowned. *
