OCR CITY’S NKKI>.
At this particular juncture Athena
needs, beyond all other things, unani
mous, harmonious, concerted action on
the part of its officers and peoplo.
Just at this particular moment of time,
two or three railroads aro making for
Athens, various enterprises await the
cordial endorsement of our people, and
our own citizens, whose* inclinations
prompt them to be live and progressive,
hesitate for the moment, waiting for that
cordial and sympathetic approval of their
fellow-citizens, to encourage and help
their movements. It is true beyond all
question that our city lacks, boyond any
thing eke, warm and sympathetic ap
proval and endorsement of. the various
enterprises now being discussed. It
seems a little thing to want, one that
might easily be obtained, and upon
which oflr people may think we lay too
much stress. Hut not so.
Many a movement originated here,
that had for its end public improvement,
rather than individual gain, has died be
cause of the coldness which enveloped
it. It has been many a day since our
people were practically unanimous in
their opinion of the various enterprises
that have from time to time been started
hore; and that want of unanimity has
contributed more to the death of those
enterprises than all the other adverse
eJeoumstances combined.
It is time Mr ua 10 tay aside this
small spirit, and give to every legitimate
enterprise and scheme the endorsement
and help that its merits demand. If we
esnnot give silver and gold, we certainly
can advance kind words and sympathetic
wishes, often times as valuable and pre
cious. The Bankkk-Watciihan has
from time to time callod attention to
these mattors, and has editorially advo-
cated them. It does this again this
morning, and especially calls attention to
a plan that it believes will result in much
good.
Let a committee of fifty representative
citizens be appointed by the Mayor, or
let a meeting be called and let it appoint
a committee of as insny as it sees fit, to
be known as “the committee on the wel
fare of the city.” Let this committee
meet- and appoint a sub-committee of
three or five to look after the various rail
road interests of the city, to correspond
with and answer railroadjinquiries, to be
tha medium through which all offers and
proposals are made, to look after the in
terest of Athens in all matters that per
tain to the city’s good. Let the gonoral
' committee appoint a sub-committee
whose business it shall be to look after
a'l the atrangers who come here seeking
investments, to acquaint them with the
various manufactories, to show them the
various sites and water powers, to give
them all the facts and figures
in connection with overy inter
est of the city. Let the general com
mittee appoint a smaller committee from
its ranks to whom all the letters of in
quiry that are daily receivod by tha
Mayor and other citizens shall be refer
red. Lot it be thoir duty to answer
these and give all the information it can,
and so arrange their replies that strangers
at a distance may be attracted by the ad
vantages of the city. Then let the gene
ral committee appoint a homo committee
to look after the needs of our own city,
to discuss plans for the improvement of
our streets, for the advancement of our
schools, for the better organization of our
different departments, and in short, to
consider every plan and every movement
that has for its end the advancement of
our city.
These committees are not untried ex
periments. Other cities larger than Ath
ens have tried them, and the results have
been far more beneficial than at first con
templated. Through their influence and
their organized efforts waste places have
been built up, the channels of commerce
1 stb been widened and deepened, educa
tional systems have been extended, and
the desert has been made to blossom as
the rose. Nothing can be lost by snch
an organisation. Mucn may be gained,

t was sent, wrote back praising

Perhaps this is one reason why
local market it better than that of
Augusta.
Country subscribers to our daily in
the small towns arc complaining about
the non arrival of the paper. Tba fault
does not lie in this office, and we do not
think in the Athens office; it is evidently
somewhere near the other end of the line
ftur country subscribers will do well to
be on band when the mail comes in.

Hop Bitters is not, in any sense, an
alcoholic beverage or liquor, and could
not bo sold, for use, except to persons
desirous of obtaining medicinal bitters.
GREEN B. BAUM,
U. S. Com’r Internal Rev.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 24,1884.
Dear Sir—Why don't you get a certifi
cate from Col. >V. H. W., of Baltimore,
showing bow be cured himself of druiik-
euess by the help of Hop Bitters. His is
a wonderful case. He is well known in
Rochester, N. Y., by all tho drinking
people there. Ho is known in this city.
Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; in
fact all over tho country, us be lias 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.

Prejudice Kills,
“Eleven years our daughter suffered
on a bed of misery under the earn of
several of the best physicians, who gave
her, disease various names but no relief,
and* now she is restored to us in good
health by Hop Bitters, that we had
poohed at two years before using it. Wo
earnestly hope and pmy that no oue
else wifi let their sick suffer ns wc did,
oa account of prejudice against sn good
a medicine as Hop Bitters."— The Parents
—Good Templars.
Milton, Del., Feb. 10,1886.
Having used Hop Bitters, tho noted
medy ror debility, nervousness. Indi
gestion, etc., I have no hesitation In say
ing that it Is indeed an excellent medicine
mi recommend it to any one as 4 truly
tonic bitters. Respectfully,
Rev. Mrs. J. H. ELLGOOD. .
Seipio, N. Y., Dec. 1, 1884.
I am the pastor of the Baptist ehurch
hero and an educated physician. I am
not 1n practice, but am my sole family
physician, and advise in chronic coses.
Over a year ago I recommended your
Hop Bitters to my invalid wife, who bos
been under medical treatment of Albany’s
best physicians several years. She has
been greatly benefitted and still uses the
medicine. * I believe she will become
thoroughly cured of her various compli
cated diseases by their use. Wa both _ ___ _ ^
