The man with the money escap ed. The other two were captured, but were released to-day for lack of proof car, the story tidier said, “You know the dried peaches tale I told yesterday morning? Well thought he would try it. Ho is as close as the next second, anyhow, and all the stories were told for his benefit. Well, yesterday he settled with his landlady before dinner, and bought him a peck of dried peaches as a starter. He ate a good many for dinner, and when supner time came, he tilled up on water thinking he could get along without breakfast; and he did too, he want anything for several days.

Atlanta, Nov. 13.-~f8pccial.]— 1 The Senate wae not in session to day. The House met at ten o’clock. Mr. Tate, of Pickens, Chairman of the Special Judiciary Committee, reported, recommending the passage of tho follow ing bills: No. 7. To create a Board of Commiss ioners for the county of Hall. No. 8. To repeal the Act establishing a City Court in the county of Hall. By unanimous consent, tho following bills were introduced: some additional facts concerning this strangely gifted min. J He wr*te an article once for the “Christian Union” which the paper published. The subject matter was education. Tho article attrno’cd considerable attention, and was extensively copied, and elicited tho most favorable comment. The editor complimented it in the highest terras— using such adjectives us “strong,” “forci ble.” “pungent,” and “scholarly”—meet ing Mr. Flounnoy sometime after its pub lication, Mr Cobb asked him why be did not contribute further to the “Christion Union.” “I did,” replied John Jacobus, “but my articles were rejected.” “What was your theme,” queried Mr. Cobh. ‘Polygamy!” replied J. J. Mr. Floun noy was at heart a polygamist, advocated trigamy, because it was more convenient. Judge Cobb thinks that his idea was that theoretically, prolygamy was tho best so- cialy system, but that the poorest of men to control and govern ,are so different in their degrees that a modified form of po lygamy was safer than unrestricted po- lygainy, |Mr. Flournoy was a gentleman of immense personal courage—once his mind made up he was as brave a min ! as ever lived—ho had the courage of his 1 convictions, and carried into affive, and , we believe, successful operation his pccu- J liar views on this subject Requioscat in ; pace. mistake in our compilation of the figures, but there was something wrong some where, for at the expiration of about three raonts the cotton receipts of the town approximated seventy-five thou sand bales, and it was a bad year for cotton, too. I have always thought th.;t had the plan been continued, Ath ens’ cotton receiwts would have gone to a couple hundred thousand bales. But it haa to be discontinued, for the editor declared it was hurting the paper. Eggs, Butter and Chick ens at Hulme’s. COTTON MARKET. OFFICE BANNER WATCHMAN. ATHENS, NOT. 13, ISM. Market Arm.

In 1889 its charter will ex pire. An act to incorporate the comps ny will bo introduced at the present sea. sion of the legislature. The Southern Exprese company haa been of great ben efit and convenience to the people of the South—it haa’agencies everywhere, and it ta said that it will soon begin to es tablish lines in foreign countries where permitted’ The company was original ly started in Augusta, and for a long time its general offices were there.

They were talking about close, slingv men, and had even gone so far as to men tion names.

The mcou >weir t,. ' Impression upon the man I ed to give tire figures when the prom ’ bo was J was made that th- papers would no’, i [ dividutlize or tel! one firm wiut another The promise was sacred. The census of 1880, ss compiled by the United States authorities, presents some curious figures in reference to Clarke county. To begin with, in point of area, the county is one of the smallest counties in the State, if i> >t the smallest. In 1800 its population was greater than in 1870, and it had not been divided then. In 1880 its population was less titan in 1870 or in I860; to tho stranger looking at these figures the natural In ference would be that the courty was retrograding, but not so; between 1870 and 1880 a slice larger than the present county was cut off, and the increase in Clarke’s population can lie readily seen by the small difference in th. inhabi tants as shown in the census of 1870 and 18.nO. The city of Athens live a popula tion considerably larger than that of Oconee, and about three limes as much as the population of Clarke, exclusive of the city. Whether the country people have been, moving to town or not, tho population of the county outside the city is very stationary. Foreign horn citi- sans are few in Clarke—the Jews pre dominate, and the Germeus come next. Tha Irish hav. buta small contingent. I see Iho Banxm-IVatcuae endeavors to give tbe weekly cotton receipts of tho city, the sales, stock on hand, and thdl bumber of bags consumed ?y spinners. IA commendable pieco of enterprise, but a herculean task. I had soinetidng to dp with a newspaper once in Athens and the aame effort waa made. No exchange to get the receipts from, so a man had to Le cent every week to the warebOBMB and to mer. hsnh who took entton/in trade and get their figures.
