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, cotton buyer in Athens is counties of Madison, iklin and Clarke produce an gly fine grade of cotton. That manufacturer to whom a con- t was sent, wrote back praising and asking if he could get 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. Before threejmonth* have come and gone another bevy of sweet girl gradu- uates will be cast upon the tender mer cies of sn admiring world. In the sWeet month of June, whst is prettier than an eighteen-year old girl with a clean face and frock standing on that awful abyss thst sepsratesgirlhood and womanhood? Nothing, nothing! Every night or so some misguided countryman drives over the College ave nue fountain and wrecks the city's pride anu favorite. Wouldn’t it he well to put up an illuminated sign with the words “this is a fountain” on it in letters of living light The tiino is upon us when the country editor will interest his readers with pithy locals about Mrs, Jones' truck, Mrs, Smith's young chickens, and s fine bull calf on Deacon Brown’s Warrior District place. Tiik hunter will soon take his gun to pieces and oil it preparatory to its sum mer rest, and the tired bird dog will have nothing to do but lie on tho back veran dah and snap at the troublesome flies. ThE Savannah Nows is lessening its chances for making mistakes in regard to Statu limiters by printing less Stato news. Tho Nows is a real smar tnews- paper and is getting to bo quite cute.
