TO WORK AT ONCE.
Athens has promised twenty-fire thou
sand dollars to the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern Railroad. Only fourteen thou
sand has been raised so far. Ths meet
ing of the directors takes place in this
city on the serenth of April, and it will
nerer do for Athens to be short in her
promised amount. The good name of
the city is at stake. I,et the proper par
ties at once go to work and raise the
eleven thousand dollars necessary. The
matter is of the gravest moment, ami no
time should be loBt.
AN EVIDENT DUTY.
The pcoplo of Athens should see to it
that the delegates to the railroad con
vention in Athens on 7th April areenter-
tai.ied in a becoming way. No more im
portant meeting has ever keen held in
our city. It is fraught with great conse
quence to the people of this section, to
the State and the whole South. The
Georgia, Carolina & Northern Railroad,
when built, will be the one competing
system in ths South. The .movement
which has this enterprise before it rep
resents brains and boldneas and capital.
It la an suspicious occasion which places
the first general meoting of the friends
and projector! in Athens.
Now tjie city should see to it that
these delegates are entertained hand
somely. Wo owe it to the road and to
ourselves that this convention should be
promoted by substantial interest and en
livened by t freo hospitality. Our citi
zens should hold a public meeting and
organise for this occasion. A schedule
of co-operation and a plan of entertain
ment should be provided. Athens has a
most important matter on her hands, and
the compliment of being the central city
in this new system must be recognized
in a fitting way. Let our people take
this matter in hand and prepare for the
Seventh of April. We cannot get to
work too soon.
The matter ia an important one. The
principle involred is mors thiu dollars
sml cents. It ia one that appeals to the
love of justice and fair play among the
people. We hare confidence in ths city
council’s ability to satisfactorily settle
the matter, and we believe that when
the matter comes before it they will
treat it with £hs consideration it de-
serres.
Kari.y nest month there will be tn
important railroad meeting in Athens.
All along the line from Atlanta to Ath
ens and from Athens to the Carolinaline,
representative men from the towns and
cities along the line will come to Athens.
Our people should prepare a big recep
tion for these people, and make their visit
to the growing-metropolis of Northeast
Georgia a memorable one.
The “slate makers” admit that, they
want to whip out the present Congress
man. Well, the “slate makcas” will have
to make a very early start from their
country retreats to get to town on time.
It is unfortunate for the “slate makers”
that Dr. Carlton wilt have a two years'
record of splendid services to the dis
trict to strengthen his present hold on
the people.
British
A mu. is pending before the
Commons to prohibit (he publication of
the details of sensational divorce cases.
This will no doubt prevont the English
papers from laying those salacious para
graphs before their readers, but what
protection will the people of America
have from tho so-called enterprise of the
public press in this country?
RAILROAD ISSUE.
Early in April the Binnir-Watcmuk
will issue a special railroad edition, which
will come out during the convention o
railroad delegates in Athena. It will com
prise a full review of the two new lines
which are now making their way
Athens, the country along the route, and
the proepects which tho railroads bring
to Atheng. We intend this itsi.e to pre
sent a picture of the railroad outlook
together with a full account of tho pro
ceedings of the convention of delegates
ban., It will go out as a minute of this
meeting, together with an account up to
that time, of the progress of the Macon
* Athens. It will be the slxe of our
weekly end will contain important notices
from pur best and moat progressive busi
ness men. The Banner-Watchman will
keep its friends advised of the progress
of this edition.
The Brooklynites arc crying for tight
and lamps. Our streets should be work
ed and other necessary improvements
made before the people ol Brooklyn are
furnished with free oil.
THE RAILBOAD COMMISSION.
The President has Appointed the fol
lowing gentlemen ta Railroad Commis
sioners as provided for by the Inter-State
Commerce bill; Thomas M. Coe'ey, of
Michigan, for six years; William R. Mor
rison, of Illinois, five years; Augustus
Schoevmaker, of New York, four years;
Aldace P. Walkqr, of Vermont, three
yean; Walter L. Bngg, ef Alabama,
two yean.
Messrs. Cooley and Morrison are well
known gentlemen, end will make excel
lent membon of tbo commission. The
New York and Vermont appointees are
not well known. Bngg, of Alabama,
Is perhaps tho weakest man of tho South
ern Applicant^ and wa cannot undar-
siaiid the reasons for hi* appointment.
In the whole, however, the commission
!& satisfies on.
Tint oldest inhabitant comes to the
entrain, and declares tho fruit crop

One of President Cleveland’s physi
cians declares that unless he takes more
exercise he is liable to drop olf at any
moment. The President has enormously
increased in tlesh since he has been in
Weshingtan. Suppose he begins to turn
the rascals out—no exercise will be more
conducive to health and prosperity than
this.
The plan to soatter tin lamps and dis
tribute the cruse of oil among tho popu
lation of Brooklyn does not meet with
general favor. Suburban lighting has
not been attended with the best results
so far, and we oppose this ordinance
without any prejudice .to our colored
citizens.
A fine old mansion on Prince avenue
is said to be irfested, ao to speak, with
the ghost of its former owner. The Ton
sequences are that the chicken coop on
those particular premises shows no signs
of being tampered with in tho dead hours
of the night.

The worthy citizens on tho outskirts
of the city are clamoring for s sight of
tho blue-coated policeman. Would it
not bo well to drive ths now trucks out
to this neighborhood of an afternoon? It
might make thorn feel that they were in
town, aftor all.
We trust the city ‘council will tak*
into consideration the grievances of the
people on the outskirts. There is a good
deal of truth in their claims, snd if they
are not fairly treated their grievances
cannot be too soon adjusted.
A host of rheumatics snd cripples will

Waehington, D. C„ Sept. 24. 1884.
Dear Sir—Wbydon’t you got a certifi
cate from Col. W. II. W„ of Baltimore,
showing how ho cured himsclfof drunk-
cness by the help of Hop Bitters. Ills is
a wonderful case. Ho Is well known in
Rochester, N. Y, bv all the drinking
people' there. He is known in this city,
Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; In
fact all over tho country, as ho has spent
thousands of dollars for rum. I honestly
believe his card would be worth thousands
of dollars to you in this city and Balti
more alone, and make thousands of sober
men by inducing the use of your bitters.

on a bed of misery under the care of
several of the best physicians, who gave
her.dlseaso various names but no relief,

Over a year ago I recommended your
