MB. T.j A ROBINSON.
Gentle render, one of the Seven
Wonders of Tallulah Palls is Tom
Robinson. He is ■ brick, and
gold brick at that. M . Robinson
started life at a very early aye, with
out a stitch of clothing uii his back
or a dollar in bis pocket. From
this small beginning Robinson has
rapidly clirahe.l up the ladder of
fortune until be to-day is the proud
proprietor of a skat ug rink, a grey
mule, a soda fountain aud a blue
flannel shirt. Mr. R. has a heart as
large as Stone Mountain. lie will
turn himself wrong side out any
time for a friend. Tom Robinsuu
made a mash on us last Sunday,
and we are now getting up an ex
cursion party from Athens just to
see him.
MOSS V8. YOUNG.
With the exception o a plank
barricade in front of Young's hotel,
all signs of the late conflict is over.
Mr. Moss makes no charge for
using his grounds, neither does Mr.
Young. The only inconvenience
is that Young’s guests have to go
up to the gate, at the depot, to pass
in. Next winter Mr. Young will
build a bridge across the river oppo*
site his hotel, make a good path on
the other side of the chasm, and he
will then be ns Independent as
wood sawyer.
> . THE VISITORS.
There are now about 300 guests
at the falls. We stopped at Youn;
Hotel, and found it well filled. I
has a fine band on hand, and there
is dancing every night. It is a gay
place, and a number of lovely ladies
are now his guests. Mr. and Mrs.
Young are great popular favorites
with the traveling public, and do
all in their power to make the visi
tors have a nice time.
A BEAR STOKY.
The largest bear ever seen in the
mountains crossed the river about
six miles sbove the tails the other
day. He was as large as a small
sized cow and made a irack nearly
a foot wide. The animal was seen
by some men. eho nt once gave

CAME IN THE MOUNTAINS.
There it very little small game in
the mountains. One party was out
lor more than a week and saw no
thing but a jay bird to shoot at.
Judge Emory Speer it now at the
fails and spends a good portion of
his time in the woods with his dog
aud gun, but saya he has only bag
ged one pheasant as yet. There
are plenty of fish in the streams if
you know when and how to catch
them.
THE 8INKINO MOUNTAIN.
This mountain continues to go
down. We spent last Sunday with
Mrs. Smith, who lives at its hate,
but owing to the wet weather did
not make the ascent. It is not much
ot an attraction, and we had much
rather view the scenery from the
summit of Rock mountain, only
three miles from the hotel. It is a
long and very rough ride to the
Sinking Mountain.
THE RAILROAD.
The people of Rabun do not
seem to feel much interest in the ex
tension of the North-Eastern, and
are content for it to stop at the
falls. We conversed with several
representative gentlemen, and they
teflus that the freight shipments from
Tallulah will be quite as great as
was the road carried to Clay ton.
CITY COURT.
Judge Cobb had several criiui
nals up before him yesterday. Tom
Calloway, for carrying concealed
weapons, wes fined fso or 9 months
in the chain gang. Tom will, in
all probability, try the chain gang.
SHERIFF SALES.

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.
The Teachers’ Normal Institute
in Atlanta had an attendance of 150
up to last Friday. Every teacher in
Georgia should attend, as they will
? ;et some fine ideas about teaching,
t will probably number 500 before
it closes. The county school com
missioner should also attend.
FOX HUNTING.
Mr. Hoyt Wier and Ab. Pitner
went out fox hunting Monday night
and had a fine race of three hours,
but failed to catch it, as it was an
old red lox, and they are always
hard to catch. Mr. Hoyt Wier is
one of the noted fox hunters of
Northeast Georgia and has always
kept a splendid pack of dogs, and if
it is possible for a lox to be caught
he has the dogs to do it

1 most estimable lady and beloved

our sympathy to the bereaved hus

lady. We learn also that the infant
Athens Male Academy, the board
of trustees expressed their, pleasure
in commending it to the patronae
of the public. They desire to reil
eratc and emphasize that commen
dation now. In several particulars
there has been marked progress in
the second, over the first year of the
administration of the excellent
teachers, who are energetically
prosecuting their labors there. To
some of these particulars we ask
leave to direct especial attention.
1st. At the close of the first an
nual session, the best that was se
cured in the matter of scholarship
was an average of over 90 by only
two of the pupils. At the close of
the last session the papers and
marks, when examined and aver
aged, showed that zz bad secured
that distinction, this being 50 per
cent, of the average attendance du
ring the whole year.
zd, Durirtg the first year of the
school’s existence, there were fre
quent unpleasant quarrels among
the pupils, demanding the attention
and sometimes the discipline of
those in authority over the schctol.
3ut during the year just dlosed,
only two or three difficulties of any
kind occurring among the pupils,
have come within the knowledge
of the teachers, although the same
diligence has been exercised to
keep'themselves informed. Resi
dents in the vicinity ol the school
have kindly and cordially congratu
lated the teacheis on the manifest
improve.ment in this respect.

ptofaue language, and with the co-
imtfjatloa of the teachers? this ior-
gunizatioil hSirbccomc so effective
that almost the entire school has
been brought under its controlling
influence. The use of a profane
oath is of rarest occurrence, and its
effect is to disgrace rather than to
exalt its uttercr. In conjunction
with this single design, there has
existed a perceptibly distinct re
ligious influence of gratifying
power.
In emphasizing the commenda
tion of last year the board of trus
tees feel assured that the above ut
terances will be appreciated by the
Athens public. The school is in
tended to be conducted in tbe inter
est of our entire population, and to
be regulated upon such principles
as will entitle it to the patronage nf
all who havfc the interests of the ris
ing youth at heart. With the co
operation of those who live here,
the board will strive to make this a
school in which the course
of academic instruction cannot be
surpasssed, and a means by which
the edacationarfncilities of this c : ty,
already so excellent, shall be still
further perfected. We aspire to
the attainment of such excellence in
the elementary and academic cour
ses as will attract as much patronage
from abroad as is extended to the
higher educational institutions in
our midst. The opening of the
academy for the -ession of ’85 6
will take place on Monday, the 17th
day ol August. By order of tbe
board of trustees. ■

Dear Banner. Watchman: I have
seen the names of several persons
suggested for Mayor, among .which
is Capt.Talmadge. He t* any first
choice if he will run, and Capt
Rucker my next? either would make
a live' Mayor. I ha ve made. up my
mind to not vote for any man who
has not cots bead of his own, and
plenty of brains to bsck his judg
ment. I hear that Mr. Bhtck has
quit Mr. Bloomfield, snd the man
“Friday, as some men call hist,”
and is pouriog his viala of wrath
out on nis “worthy ordinary,*? If
Black was half at good as Judge
Jackson, he would not be .rendering
himself so contemptible and so mis*
crable as ne must'be. He it one of
the most intense bigot* I have !*ver
seen. Myself, Mr. Palmer* shti Mr.
Bloomfield differ in the route for
our contemplated railroad.' I am
for' extending- to Chyton, while
they arerJn favor oi the, Columbus
route, but vfe have no 111’ feeling
about our difference.- I am no Jag
Gould. I don’t know much about
railroads, but if a vote is taken on it
I shall vote for the Clayton exten
sion, but I don’t feel like speaking
disrespectful, of them . because: ate
u'-e of different opinions. Johwue's

am hot a^style of man to-nurse ill
g against one. but'whenever a
I deserves a gentle reminder, I
rsprovs Maa, and wish my
friends to do likewise by ae, for we
don’t see our faults at others do.
But when little whipper-snappers
set themselves up ss prophets, fore
telling the calamities which God
has and will send on their enemies
and try lo lead the people into their
errors! they disgust me worse than
thefLlvation Army, who are com
posed of the very scum of creation.
For the future, I will keep my e;
