ATHENS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY, 6,1887.
THE
SEASON.
THE SUNNY SIDE
i LIFE.
Vhat Sort of Amusements People
Ought to Hove—What Diversions
Have Harked the Tear In Athens
-Are we Getting all the Sweetness
Ostsl Life?
We notice that one of the learned pro
fessors of the faculty has given his class
the task of writing upon the most desi
rable form of public amusements. This
is an important subject It might be
well for people sometimes to set about
hunting up the most desirable species of
amusement American people think too
little of these things. They are work-
•sra—‘ ‘bustlers.” They bestow too little
thought uyon diversions of any kind,
being simply content to drop into or be
taken in by the first amusement that
•comes by. This is illogical and un
wholesome. People who work without
Tecreation are apt to sport without sys
tem. One reason our doctors, lawyers,
atudenta and merchants br**k down and
go to piecea in (fee midst of their work is
that they pay too little attention to the
resting of the mind, as well as to the
laws of health. Relaxation without
amusement it worse than no relaxation
at all.. The male population in Athens
are hard workers. The character of
their business confines them closely in
the winter months, and the social track
is soon lost in bad weather and pressing
duties. The number of theatrical troupes
is small, public gatherings are limited.
It would be better to have more recrea
tion in winter and more work in summer.
It is curious to read of the winter pal
aces and toboggans in St Paul and Mon
treal, while Athens, in a temperate zone,
is snowed under by every fitful blizzard,
and is socially a blank in winter months.
One good schedule for business men
to steal some rest and leisure during the
business season* is late dinner. A man
who will steal a 'slight snack at noon and
leave the midday unbroken for work,
will feel like eating a geod dinner at five
or aix o'clock. Midday is the time for
the coming and going of the mails, the
closing of the bank and at the time that
the average man takes his dinner there
are a dozen people to be waited on and
anxious to take the afternoon train,
take the road with his wagon before the witw v f __.. v

Atbenteum club gave her a delightful
entertainment Friday evening which
ended in a cotillion. It was a verp pleas
ant affair, free from formality andwell
managed throughout Among the visi
tors present were Lieut and Mrs. Fred
Hodgson, U. S. A., and Misses Calhoun,
of South Carolina.
Mrs. White has been a social favorite
in Athens since she came here a bride in
1872, and her home has been the rendez
vous for young people every year. Ho
entertainment has been given here but
that her presence has not brightened
and inspired it. Mra. White will be
missed fh Athena. Her friends wish
her bon voyage; next October, we hope,
she will return to Athens and take charge
of her beautiful home on Milledge
Avenue.

Sickness in town has interfered with
the social programme. Several social

very pleasant. The younger people are
patronizing these classes very largely,
and the! next soiree will be looked
forward to with interest. The man or
woman who floors up with some idea of
dancing acquires an ease and a grace
which never forsakes them.

The Young Mens’ Christian Associa
tion will hold popular interest this week
by two entertainments which will be
largely attended. We refer to the oys
ter supper Tuesday night, and the
cal and dramatic benefits next Friday
evening. Both affairs will be well man
aged, and we trust the.people will pat
ronize them both. This worthy associa
tion has shown strong recuperative en
ergy. and the efforts in their behalf made
by accomplished ladies and gentlemen
shonld bring out a general response.

Translantlng a Letter frsm Ger
many, Bearing Good Tidings to an
Athenian—The Late Dr. Bertltug
Vindicated at Last.
A report reaching the Banner* Watch-
uan that Mr. Arthur Bertling, who mar*
tied a daughter of the late Dr. Bertling,
who died in the inaane asylum at Mil-
ledgeville not lo»g since, had inherited a
fortune in Germany, we sought him out
and asked os to the truth of the stor;
“Yes,” replied Mr. Bertling, “I 1
just received this letter from Frankfort-
f n-the-Main, that explains itself. It also
vindicates the memory of Dr. Bertling,
and shows that he did net misrepresent
his expectations in Athens, but told the
truth. My wife is an heir to the estate,
and I have taken the legal steps to secure
’ e property."
The letter wss written in German, but
we had it translated, and aro thus en
abled to give it in full to our readers. It
reads ss follows:
Frankfort Main, Jan. 14th, 1887.—
Mr. A. Bertling: Yours ef the 26th of
December, announcing the death of Dr.
R. Bertling, to band, and I am indeed
very sorry to hear the fateful news. Of
course the estate, so far guarded by me,
has now to be divided amongst the in
heritance, after the houses which' belong
to the estate have been sold. The inher
itance will therefore furnish me with the
necessary documents, and legitimate
themselves as being the ones entitled to
inherit the estate. In addition, to cer
tify that Dr. R. Bertling is really dead,
it is necessary to certify that his second
wife is also dead, and that there are no
children existing from this marriage.
As Dr. R. Bertling has had his last
residence in Athens you may get the
proper certificates from the court ia Ath
ens testifying that Dr. B.~ and wife are
dead, and that you are the real heirs. I
request you to send me those soon.
Should yon not get them there I will
try andw** them here, after you have
sent me certificate of death. I call your
attention to the fact, though, that Dr. B. removed, the oceans dried up,
may hare left more debts than there is J the jeweler, says he will not depart

learn the truth about the matter.
“Yes,” wot the reply of one of the
boys to our inquiry, “we have declared a
boycott against Mr. Etnory F. Ander

dent staying there, eight in number,
marched out in a body and went to Mr.
Weldon Price’s. We do not intend to
be imposed upon, but will assert cur
rights."
“Didn’t Mr. Anderson keep a good ta
ble and treat you well?'
“Ob, yes; no fed well, and wot very
clever, hut you seo ho got mid with a
couple of the boys for sleeping too late,
and told them they could leave the
