From the interview with Con gressman Carlton, which we publish in another column today, it will be seen that the republican majority in the next congress will be very small. It will also be noticed that the re publicans- have under consideration the introduction of several bills, the passage of which would work serious injustice upon our people. A small majority and a large minority in any political body is sure to produce scenes of excitement and of partisan feeling. With such measures as the bill to place congressional elections under Federal control before the House, it is certain that the hall of the House of representatives will have enacted within itself a repeti tion of those scenes of excitement which were characteristic of the post-bellum period. It seems to us that the democracy has always been at its best when on the defensive. At such a time its files close up and its ranks march in solid phalanx such as is not seen when the party is on the aggressive. Great though the party be in the prosecution of measures of benefit to its people, greater it is in defense of home, of country and of principle. At such a time, a Hill is always ready to put to shame the slanders and insinuations of a Blaine; a Toombs is prepared to obtain the attention, and secure the admira tion of a whole house, in spite of the protests of a partisan majority and of a partisan presiding officer. The Democracy will need such men as Hill and her Toombs, in the next Congress, but we have confidence in the ability of those who represent them. The occasion will demand contined and watchful care, and we expect to see the bonfires of Demo ci acy blaze forth on every hill top and call to consolidated ranks the adherents of our party from every portion of our great country. The Democracy has only to stand fast. The trial and trouble is only for a season. Two years hence a sover eign people will agaia indicate their choice of representatives in the lower house of National legislation. We believe that at that time the Democracy will gain enough ground to place her once more in control of the House of Representatives and that she will thus pave her way for a grand, a sweeping triumph in the presidential election of 1892. Mark the prediction 1 OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. If there is one thing of which Athens is proud if is her schools and colleges. In every portion of the State Athens bears with justice the name of the Classic City, and with the very mention of hex* exist ence is carried an assertion of her right to be considered the seat of learning not only, of the State, but of this portion of the country. The coming Fall and Winter promises bright things for the educational institutions of Athens. The Uni versity has already begun its session with largely increased attendance The Lucy Cobb Institute has fol lowed with an unprecedented list of students. The Home School has been taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the rush of new stu dents, and this in spite of the fact that it has recently moved into large Bad commodious new quarters. To morrow Mrs. Crawford’s seminary opens for its coming session. It is certain that the attendance will be 1 irge at this school, as it is ate offers. With all present and ac- ? counted for, the four educational institutions of Athens in full run ning order, with an unexcelled sys tem of public schools, with a number r of excellent private school, Athens ' proclaims to the world that she is once more open for business. After j the Summer vacation she once more shelters beneath her wing the youth, b beauty and brilliancy of Georgia, • and many other states. ‘ Many a home in the South will , look with anxiety during the eight > months, for letters bearing our post mark, and as many bright eyes in t our midst will gleam with pleasure at receiving letters each day and 1 week from the old folks at home. , Athens is once again the centre of culture for the State, the Mecca of J learning, and the one place in Geor gia around which the heart-strings,of . parents in far distant homes are en twined. To our University boys we say “God bless you, so - yourselves as to win the approval of your conscience. Athens rejoices in your presence.”To our visitingyoung ladies: “We love you all; your presence is an incentive to all that is noble, holy and beautiful.” Many young children become positively . repulsive with sore eyes, sore ears, and scald bead.

A SIMPLE REPLY. :o:—— We never shrink from competition, from any source. Neither do we wish to give anybody the black eye, but simply to do a fair, legitimate business. And as a proof that our prices are low, one can judge for himself when we say our sales on CROCKERY, GLASS, CHINA, TIN AND SILVER WARE, AS WELL AS LIME, CEMENT, PLASTER PARIS AND OILS ’ since July Ist., 1889, are greatly in excess of that of the same season for the past twenty-four years. If we have sold all the goods and have thus given the black eye, it was an unintended lick on our part. The ladies are invited to call and examine our beautiful line of HNGLIBH SEMI PORCELAIN, which is sold by single pieces, or in sets, at about one half the cost of real China. We also have a complete assortment of DINNER, TEA AND CHAMBER SETS, which we are selling as low as they can be bought in Georgia. J. 11. HUGGINS, 220 and 222 E.
