ATHENS COTTON MARKET.
Chronicle Office, Oct 24th.
The cotton market has been more active
during the past week. The receipts for
the week exceeded those of the previous
week by 112 bales. The receipts for the
week amount to 4,284 bales, which, added
to the 13,782 received previously, make a
total of 18,060 received up to date. Mid
dling was quoted in the local market yes
terday at 9 cents, and there was but little
demand, only one buyer being in the
market.
Corn and wheat remain at about the
same quotations. Corn sells for 65 cents,
and wheat commands 75 to 80 cents, ac
centing to quality. Hay is worth SI.OO,

ICCIE'IY SKETCHES.
Our society people are on the look out
just now for the coming of some of the
rumored weddings. Every one has about
come to the conclusion that the next six
weeks will witness at least three, and the
rumors are made facts by the virtual con.
sessions of the parties interested them
selves. The cards are out for the approach
ing marriage, on the 28th instant, of Miss
Nathalie Hamilton, the lovely and accom
plished daughter of Dr. James S. Hamilton,
to Mr. Francis Fontaine, of Atlanta. Miss
Nathalie has been one of the most ad
mired of the many popular ladies of Alliens,
and her many friends are warmly congrat
ulating her upon her approaching nuptials-
Mr. Fontaine is a gentleman of wealth,
reputation and standing, and was tor a
long while the agent of Georgia for the
encouragement and promotion of European
Immigration. The wedding will be quiet,
only the near friends of the parties lo be
present
The new club recently organized will do
much towards increasing the gaiety and
pleasure of the social world of the city this
winter. The club is literary and social in
its nature, but the meetings will be in
formal, and w ill have none of the stiffness
and rigidity that so often characterizes and
kills clubs of this nature. The first meet
ing will take place next Tuesday evening,
al the residence of Chancellor Mell. The
meeting next thereafter will occur on the
lltb proximo, at the residence of Mr. A.
L. Hull, in Cobbham. The topic for dis
cussion at Ibis meeting is to be “ Rome.”
A few of our society people, notwith
standing the inclement weather, were
present at the opera house on Tuesday
evening last, to witness the representation
of “ Burr Oaks.” The performance was
not characterized by good acting, and the
play, much too long for the occasion, was>
nevertheless, rather enthusiastically re
ceived. On next Tuesday evening the
theatre will be open, and Miss Adelaide
Moore, an English actress of some noto
riety, will play, “As You Like It.” The
press over the country has complimented
this actress very highly, and those who are
familiar with her characterizatian, declare
her to be a woman of no little genius, and
an actress of more than ordinary merit. —
The opera house will doubtless be filled
with a good audience to greet her.
Not much social news of a general na
ture to be found. But few people are in
the city, and our citizens have been pur
suing the even tenor of their way. We
give below the doings of the week:
Mrs. Cranston, of Savannah, is visiting
Air. and Mrs. George D. Thomas, on Prince
Avenue.
Miss Mary Richardson, of Madison, is
visiting the family of Mr. Ferdinand Phin
izy, near the city.
One of the fairest girls in all Athens,
and one of the most popular, resides on
upper Cobb street. Who is she now ?
Society people look forward toa wedding
to occur on the 18th of next month, with
great interest.
Mrs. B. A. Stovall is in Augusta, visit
ing her son, Pleasant A Stovall, who is
rapidly convalescing from his recent ill
ness.
The handsome and clever Addison
Knowles, of the Greenesboro Home
Journal, dropped in upon his Athens
friends during the week.
Mr. C. W.Hood, of Harmony Grove, one
of the largest merchants in that section,
and one of the wealthiest men In North
Georgia, was in the city during the week.
Mr. P. A. Stovall is expected in Athens
as soon as he is able to travel. It is hoped
that the pure air of bis old home, and en.
tire freedom from business cares, will
make him whole again.
Miss Bailie Johnson, of Atlanta, one of
the most popular young ladies of the Gate
City, will visit her cousin, Miss Lamar
Rutherford, next month.
Mr. W. H. Barrett, Jr., so well and favor
ably known to our people here as an ex
ceedingly clever college boy, is now prin
cipal of a grammar school in Augusta.
At the marriage of Mr. Bartow M. Blount
and Miss Carrie Gartrell, in Atlanta, on
Wednesday, the police force of the city
was invited to be present. Rather a new
departure.
Mr. C. D. Long, a popular drug man of
Athens, has been on a visit to Newnan and
Atlanta. Rumor has it that one or two
more visits are all that is necessary.
Alaster Freddie Alorton is one of the
popular boys now at Bingham’s school, in
North Carolina.
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Smith have left for
their new home in Memphis, Tenn., where
Air. Smith has an important railroad posi
tion. We commend them to the good peo
pie of Memphis.
Mr. Geo. D. Thomas, after a two weeks
stay in New York, has returned to the city,
and will at once resume bis duties as pro
fessor of law in the University.
Col. and Mrs. Stevens Thomas, accom
panied by their daughter Mrs. Carlton
Hillyer, are still in New York, but are ex
pected home some time during the coming
week.
Mr. Alexander R. Jones, a prominent
lawyer of this city, will shortly remove to
Thomasville and engage in planting near
that place. 11l health causes him to tem
porarily renounce the profession in which
he has won many laurels.
Mr. AitburE. Griffetb, a prominent in
surance man of this city, spent a few days
during the week in Augusta, in the inter
ests of the Southern Alutual.
Col. Stevens Thomas and George D-
Thomas, Esq., are in New York, but ar
expected home some time next week.
A NEW STREET.
We understand that the Georgia Railroad
authorities are considering the w-ays and
means of having another way of getting to
their depot. It is likely a new street will
be cut through the Foundry property.
THE CH Y REGISTRY LIST.
With the exception of the voters in the
First Ward very few of the white people
in the city have registered. All who ex
pect lo vote should attend to this matter.
Unless all city taxes are paid by Novem
her Ist, executions will be issued, and
though one can pay his taxes and register
between the Ist and 20th of Novembei, if
be puts it off until then be will be sored
lo pay the cost of the execution. It will
be money saved to register now, and in
addition it will be a duty performed, which
in this particulor emergency every man
ou_ht to attend lo willingly and cheerfully.
THE FREE SCHOOL ELECTION.
We learn that the election upon the sub
ject of Fiee Schools will take place some
time in November, coming on before the
municipal race. This election will decide
the status of a good many people on the
Free Schoo) question.
FAIR NEWS.
Messrs. Hodgson Bros, Hunnicutt & Yan
cey. A. L. Hull and A. P. Dearing will ex
hibit their spend id Jerseys at the Athens
Fair.
The fine blooded horses of Messrs. Hill,
Gicen and others,of Washington, Ga, will
be at our Fair. These are said to be the
finest horses in the South.
THE MUNICIPAL CONTEST.
The race for the Alayoralty continues to
be the leading topic of conversation. Lit- |
tie knots of people can be seen at any hour
on the streets, eageily discussinu the out
look. Air. Wood and his supporters are
vigilant in their work, and the Citizens’
Committee is by no means inactive. An
exciting election is looked for, and many
predict that only a count of votes will de
cide the matter, so evenly are the candi
dates matched. We think the Citizens’
Ticket, with its strong backing of business
men, is sure to be successful, and our opin
ion is shared by many who are willing to
back up their judgment in a more sub
stantial way. Registration goes on slowly,
about four hundred names having com
plied with the law in this respect.
A LIVING COW WITH TWO HEADS.
Among the many new attractions add- d
the present season to W. W. Cole’s collosal
shows, is a singular natural freak in the
form of a perfect living cow in every re
spect, with the exception that she has two
distinct aud fully developed heads, each
with its full complement of horns, eyes,
ears and mouth. It is a great curiosity,
and invites the attention of naturalists and
others wherever exhibited.

OGLETHORPE NE IES.
A colored woman, living on the farm of
Air. Oliver Dean, in Oglethorpe county,
committed suicide Tuesday night last, by
shooting herself, without giving any inti
mation as to the cause of her tragic act.
The classic city was well represented at
Oglethorpe Court by the following legal
gentlemen : Judge Alex. S. Erwin, Ex-
Senator Pope Barrow, 11. C. Tuck and
Capt. W. B. Burnett.
Hon. Phil. U. Davis, Judge T. C. Carlton,
Hon. W. H. Mattox, candidate for Con

judicial circuit, presides with great ability
and impartiality, and no doubt, with ex
perience will make one of the best Judges
in the State.
THE mil ANNIVERSARY.
The Hope Fire Company celebrated
their 35th Anniversary, Thursday evening,

friends in a highly creditable style. Toasts
were drank, and Hie success of the Hope
pledged in sparkling bumpers of wine.
ADELAIDE MObBE.
THE DISTINGUISHED ENGLISH ACTRESS AT
THE OPERA HOUSE NEXT WEEK.
The N. Y. Herald says: A performance
of “As You Like It” was given last even
ing at the Star Theatre. There was a
large audience, Aliss Adelaide Moore, who
played Rosalind for the first time during
her present engagement, made an even
better impression than she did as Julia.
She was picturesque, graceful, and, in her
male costume, most winning. She tieated
the scenes with Orlando and Ceila in the
forest with a light and graceful touch, and
was intelligent throughout in her inten*
tions. Miss Aloore was most womanly
and unaffected. She is handsome and
refined and dresses and bears herself well.
Pretty women with talent, intelligence aud
earnestness are rare in the higher walks oi
lhe drama. Aliss Moore was called before
the curtain at the end of the third act and
much applause followed her neat delivery
of the epilogue.

CAMPUS CHAT.
More new students have entered college
this session than for the past three years.
One hundred aud ten students matricu
lated lhe first day, whereas only 80 or 90
registered the first day of the session of
’B4-’BS.
We were glad to see Mr. Irvine Alexan
der, of Augusta, in lhe city last week. It
will be remembered that Mr. Alexander
bore off tbe second honor in tbe B. Ph.
course last year, and his many friends in
Athens will watch his future progress up
the “ladder of fame” with much interes'.
At this writing, Tuesday morning, over
160 students have placed their names up
on the Register of the University and al
most every train brings in new arrivals.
Not only has Georgia sent her quota of
students, but Alabama, Florida, South
Carolina and Tennessee have also sent
large delegations to this, the fountain head
of learning in tbe “Empire Slate-” This
augurs well for the University and shows
that her prospects for the future are bright
indeed.
Prof. Chas. M. Strahan, tbe first honor
man in B. E. course'B2, has entered upon
tbe discharge of bis Professorial duties.
Our leaders will remember that the Board
of Trustees, at their last meeting, elected
Mr. Strahan Adjunct Professor of Mathe
matics and Ancient Languages, Huts pay
ing a merited compliment to Air. Strahan’s
high order of talent.
“The Friday night college prayer-meet
ing Association” has been re organized for
the session’Bs 6. We are told there was
a large number of students present at the
last meelini', thus evidencing an increasing
interest among them upon the subject of
religi-n. We wish the young gentlemen
engaged in this movement the most
abundant success which their laudable
efforts so richly deserve !
We are informed that the members of
the Demosthenian ami Phi Kappa Socie
ties have initiated a great many new mem
bers during the last two weeks. Both
among the old members and the new ones
too, there ate some very fine debaters,
consequently some lively debates are ex
pected during the present session. The
interest in the Societies will also be in
creased by the approaching elections for
Anniversarian. There are already two
candidates announced for this position in
each Society and more yet to hear from.
The friends of each candidate are making
herculean efforts in behalf of their cham
pions and consequently the coming con
tests will be exceedingly close. “God
help lhe Right.”
The present Senior Class is the largest
that ever attended the Slate University
This class now numbers 49 men, and other
membi rs of last year’s Junior class are ex
' peeled to return to college this year, there
by increasing the number to upwards of
' 50. This will then undoubtedly be-the
■ largest class that ever graduated from the
1 University, having several more members
than the far famed class of '69, which num
bered 46. This class is composed mainly
of bright, brainy men, who will doubtless
"carve out a name aud a fame” for them-
- seves, of which their Alma Alater may
- well feel proud. We predict for the mem
l bers of lhe class of ’B6 a f uture bright in
i deed.
Last Saturday the Demosthenian and
; Phi-Kappa Societies, in joint session as
. sembled, abolished the University Alaga
. zine, and re-established in its stead the
, University Reporter. We think this
. action of the two societies very com
• mendable indeed, fer the Reporter is un
doubtedly far better suited to the wants of
the students and the reading-public gener
; ally, than was the Magazine. The follow
t ing young gentlemen wiil c impose the Re
. porter stuff for the next two months:
Demosthenian Society—Editors, W. L.
Clay, S. McDaniel and W. A. Speer; Busi
ness Manager, Al. AIcG. Stewart. Phi-
Kappa Soc.ety—Editoi-m-Chief, G. N.
, Wilson ; Editors, J. W. Fain, G. W. La
mar and W. 8. Upshaw ; Business Alana
ger, J. D. Carswell. With this brilliant
corps of editors in “charge d’ affairs,” we
predict for the Reporter a successful and
pleasant voyage across the tempestuous
sea of journalism. S.
NOON.
Dews of the morning have fled from the grass,
The heat of the noontide is over the world,
The feet of the hours seem slow as they pass,
The heart of the flowers are faded and soiled.
The birds that at morning sang loud as they
flew,
Are silent as if the heat wearied them too,
The sunshine is scorching, the shadows but
few.
Weft, there's a noontide in jry oi.e'-s
When sunshine once golden seems but a
glare
We long for the shelter and find but the strife;
And heavy with thorns grows the cross that
we bear.
Life's morning regretting, we sigh for tbe night
The dreams that shall come with the fading
of light;
Tbe sleep after labor, the rest from the fight.
—Adelaide Moose.

A FESTIVAL UNDER CANVAS.
A FEW OF THE FEATURES TO BE PRE
SENTED lIY W. W. cole's COLLOSAL
SHOWS.
Human ingenuity has well nigh ex
hausted itself in preparing feasts of amuse
ments for the multitude, but has remained
for W. W. Cole to cap the climax of cir
cus enterprise with the monster exhibition
he has organized for the season of 1885.
Everybody is waiting for the promised
visit, when a genuine festival under can
vas will be enjoyed by old and young.
Mr. Cole never deceives the public; his
promises go at par every time, and are al
ways duly honored. What he promises
on paper will be found beneath his canvas.
It is a veritable wonder-world ; everthing
is novel and interesting. Every act is
startling in its originality; every curiosity
interesting from its rarity; every animal
challenges admiration for its beauty and
perfect keeping, and every portion of the
vast concern excites the wannest commen
dation by its cleanliness, neatness, perfect
order and system, and the entire absence
of all objectionable features. In the rings
and on the elevated stage a continual sue
cession of interesting acts are presented,
among them being leaping, tumbling,
bareback riding, ceiling walking by the
Human Fly, aerial bicycling, roller ska
ting, trapeze performances, acrobat evolu
tions, performing Arabs, Turks, Moore,
Egyptians and Alexican exhibition, be
sides dozens of other festivities of more
than ordinary merit. In the menagerie,
with its many cages of wild animals, are
also to be seen numerous trained animals
in the exhibition arena, among which is
Samson, the largest Asiatic elephant ever
brought to this cnuntiy ; the horse Blon
din, that shows the extent <> f equine tract
ability by actually walking a tight-rope
stretched twenty feet above the ground;
the singular bovine freak, the living cow
with two distinct and perfect heads, and
many other equally astonishing attractions.
Il is undoubtedly the best of all tbe “best”
s bows on the road, the press and public
endorsing it on every band, and the grand
festival under canvas is one which nobody
can afford to miss.
An Old Citizen Speaks.
Air. J. Al Noiris, an old lesident of
Rome, Ga., says that he had been badly
troubled with Kidney complaint lor a
great many years, and with Eczema for
three years; at times could scarcely walk,
and had tried many remedies without ben
efit, until he began taking Electric Bitters
and annointing his h inds and feet with
Bucklen’s Arnica Silve. This treatment
afforded him great relief, and he strongly
recommends Electric Bitters lo all who
suffer with Kidney Complaints, or need a
Blood Purifier. Sold by Long & Co.
RHEUM A TISM ROUTED.
A CASEFROM SCRIVEN COUNTY.
In the editorial columsof the Telephone,
pub'islied at Sylvania, lhe county site of
Scrivcn county, G i., in the number bear
ing date August 14, the editor. Col. Wm.
L. Matthews, Jr., Inis the following in rev
erence to a remarkable cure of rheumatism
by Swift’s Spi cific :
“We know ag> nlleman in this county
who, six months ago, was almost a hope
less cripple from an attack of rheumatism.
He could scarcely hobble across tbe room,
used cru c'ues, mid said himself that he
had little if any hope of ever recovering.
We raw him in onr town last week, walk
ing about as lively as any other man, and
in the. finest health and spirits. Upon our
inquiry as to what bad worked such a
wonderful change in his condition, be re
plied that Swift’.- Specific had cured lorn.
He said he was on the eve of starting for
tbe Hot Springs in search of relief, but was
persuaded by one of his neighbors to try
Swift’s Specific., and after u-ing a dozen
and a half bottles, he lias been transformed
from a miserable cripple to a happy,
uealtby man He is one of our most
worthy and successful citizens, and is none
other than Air. E. B. Lambert.
