Prof. Atkisson, of Winterville, was in the city to-day. He tells us that Winter ville is soon to have a new and handsome academy. Work on the building will prob ably commence in the next ten days. Galloway, Lambert and Co. are having their store-room put in order, and will open up a stock of goods next week. The firm is a strong one, and will prosper.

Pay at once, and register. Messrs. Lowe & Elder have had a new tel phone placed* in their store. It is N<.. 7U The mends of Mr. Willie McDowell will urge his re-election from the second ward, and he will, no doubt make the race. He has made a good officer and as yet we have beard no opposition to him. He is in favor of primary elections. The third ward will have a good repre sentative in Mr. J. H. Rucker. The senti ment for him to make the race is so strong that we are sure Mr. Rucker will be Alder man for tbe third. The clever clerk of the court, Mr. C. D. Vincent, tells us that a great deal of bus iness will be transacted next week. The civil docket is full. A gentleman from Rhode Island arrived in the city this morning, and will accept a position in the machine shops of the Athens Foundry. A ground hog chased one of the em ployees of the Athens Foundry around for a day or two, and was killed yesterday.— The animal weighed ten pounds, and was taken po session of by a colored man, who had a big treat in eating ground hog meat.

These tickets are good for five days, from the day they are issued. On other days, and the tickets are good until Novenber 4, $3.49.

This is both because of its f genuine merit and because it is tbe first play written on the late war, wherein tbe I conflicting interests of the North and South have been so ingeniously interwo t ven as not to give offense to the sympatbi- Z'TS of either cause. Tbe play abounds , in exciting situations and a genuine battle I* scene with galloping horses, but these are s happily relieved by delicate touches of the ( most exquisite comedy. The company presenting tbe piece is spoken of every where in the highest terms, so an excel lent entertainment is an assuied fact. Woman’* Mimionary Society.

Editors Athens Chronicle:—ln your issue of yesterday, Oct 10;h, it seems that your reporter interviewed a prominent cotton man of the city of Athens, on ' “The Cotton Problem.” We take it for ' granted tbat the gentleman desired that his name should not be given. ' I will drop this suggestion for bis bene -3 fit, and for others who may at any time 1 in the future wish to speak out in the in terest of the “Jute Bagging Trust,” or in r behalf of any other “Devilish plot” con cocted to rob the poor oppressed farmers of this Southern land of their freedom or bard earned money, tbat is, if they expect . their views to be considered at all, or > their complaints read the second time by . the honest minded and fair dealing people . of this section. It would be belter for the . father ot such views to give his Christian . name if he has one, in connection with those views. I know that some people profit by tbe experience, of others, and give evidence of greater sagacity and wis dom in withholding their names from pub- 1 lie criticism, than is evinced in tbe article ’ published. 1 Under some circumstances it is evident -1 ly more prudent for a person to get out ‘ into the bushes, and let the editor stand in the middle of tbe big road and proclaim 1 his sentiments, but in all such cases the desired effect can not be reasonably count -5 ed on. It is a little singular that this prominent cotton man, of whom tbe editor speaks so highly, as having held positions of honor and (trust), did not look better to the in- > terests of the trust business, and have bis . name printed; for the higher and more I honorable a position a man holds the more j weight his views carry, whether there is L much weight iu his arguments or not, but . I suppose if it were to do over again this would occur to him. Very Truly, Geo. T. Murrell. OLD TIME TRAVELLING. A Relic. To the Directors of the North east Fair in Georgia : If you desire to put on exposition an “old time” trunk, in contrast to one of modern Gate, I can supply one that came with me fifty years ago, across the coun try, from Louisville, Ky., in the year . 1839, strapped to tbe back of tbe carriage, j The journey was made by slow stages, . often resting two or three days at a time. , Tbe journey was made in a private car . 1 iage, and before the days of Railroads, 5 and not in one of the old time tally-ho’s, . with its bugle horn and fresh relay of . horses at certain stations. When a resi dent of Louisville, how I loved to hear the bugle-horn, as the stage coach and its . four, sometimes six, spirited horses, would 1 come dashing in o’er the well kept mae- L adamized streets! Such a clatter 1 Even _ now the sound of the old time'horn makes . my pulses thrill with the recollection of 3 the pleasure -I used to feel in taking a . short journey in one of those vehicles, and how delighted I used to be whenever v?e came to a station and changed horses—the people ahead being warned to have them in readiness, their harness on, so as to put - them in position without delay, by the loved tones of the “ old lang syne” stage horn. How I would love to hear one now! What a change in the last fifty years I Yet childish recollections, “ how dear to the heart.” Excuse me for trespassing on your time. , I simply meant to announce where the old - time trunk could be had, and my pen ram- - tiled with my thoughts, without thinking 3 how much space I was occupying in your 1 time, which I know is valuable to an edi • tor. Very respectfully, *. * I j Dr. C. B. Giles. , We copy some highly complimentary . words from Mr. J. E. White, Editor of tbe McDuffie Journal, in reference to the above gentleman. “Learning that Dr. C. R. Giles has lo cated in the city of Athens, for tbb prac tice of his profession, I desire to add to his own superior qualifications my heartfelt r recommendations. 1 Dr. Giles was born and raised in this county,where he has scores of friends who will endorse every word I say in commen ’ dation of him. t He is a gentleman in every sense of the ' word, and his character for sterling integ ‘ rity and a high sense of honor, is well es tablished. As a physician he is efficient, faithful and eminently successful, while his gen _ erous and genial temperament, and his su , perior mental and scholarly attainments, always win the friendship and esteem of I all with whom he is associated. Tbe people of the Classic City will find Dr. Giles to be all, and more, than I have described; and will soon appreciate him self and bls family, as a valued acquisition to their professional and social circles.

The entertainment given by the Athen seum last evi-ning at their club house was one es the most elegant ever attended in Athens. The numerous guests of tbe evening entered into the enjoyments of the occasion with a spirit which could not fail to make the entertainment a success, and no society event this season has been more throughly enjoyed than this entertain ment. Tbe principal amusement of the evening was dancing which was partic ipated in by most of those present. About eleven o’clock elegant refreshments were served. Thereafter the German was danced; it was led in a graceful manner by Mr, Harry Cbarbonmer. Among those present were Misses Katie Rutherford, Blanche Lipscomb, Meta Cbarbonnier, zliHiit) Mays, Haidee Routzahn, Mary Toombs Hardeman, Sophie Schaller, Emm'ii Carroll, Elsie Tyler and Mr®. Dugas, and Messrs. Fred Morion, Guy Hamilton, J A Benedict, J G Basinger, H F Norris, J C Mell, A S Harper, NL ’ Poullaiu, W J Harris, J S Hamilton, J B Nevin, W D Ellis, Jr., P. 8. Arkwright, Jesse Coates, B C Collier, John H Boston, Jr., A F Johusou, J D Little, E F Lovell and others. A large number assembled last evening at the Beney-Stovall chapel to attend a lecture given by Mr. A. L. Hull. Mr. Huh took as his subject “The customs and : manners of the ancient Romans.” He discussed this subject in a unique and in teresting manner and received the undi vided and ea nest attention of his hearers to the very end. It is a matter of regret to Mr. Hull’s many admirers that he had not consented to lecture oftener before the literatuers of our city. He ‘possesses tbat humorous manner of handling bis subjects that invests all his addresses with a charm ing interest. Iu addition to the lecture by Mr. Hull, Miss Elsie Tyler favored the audience with several choice selections upon the organ. We are glad to learn that such entertainments will be frequent at the Institute during the coming winter. Miss Lucy Griffiith has returned from an extended Northern tour, much to the de light of her many friends. Cards of announcement of the marriage of Mr. Hugh Downing to Miss Brenda Gibson, of Newnan, are out. Mr. Ed Upson contemplates leaving for Atlanta in a few days where he will at tend the Technological school. Mrs. Willie Wylie, from Doboy, is visit ing the family of Mrs Judge Cobb. Mrs. Ed Trainer, nee Miss Kate Taylor, is visiting Mrs. Judge Cobb. Mrs. J. E. Talmadge, it is universally conceded, has the handsomest collection of hot house flowers in Athens. She is a splendid florist and cultivates many ex quisite varieties. Mr. J. B. Nevin, of the University, left to-day for Rome to attend the mar riage of bis sister, Miss Ida Nevin. Miss Nevin will be remembered as having vis ited in Athens two years ago. Mrs. Dr. R. D. Moore contemplates leaving in a few days for a prolonged visit to Baltimore. Mrs. Bloomfield intends visiting friends in Philadelphia ere many days elapse. She will be absent for some time. Miss Mary Toombs Hardeman, accom panied by Miss Mary Harris Brumby, leaves to-day for Washington, Ga. A Successful Operation. A few days ago an Atlanta lady came to our city to be treated by Dr. 8. C. Bene dict for a case of chronic pleurisy or what is commonlyjknown as dropsy of the chest. She had consulted various physicians in different cities of the country in order to obtain relief, but none did her any good. She finally decided to submit her case to Dr. Benedict of this city, and an operation was performed this morning at the Com mercial hotel. By an inject on, Dr. Bene dict succeeded in drawing off two quarts and a half of fluid from her chest, giving hei tbe relief she has sought in vain for months. This is one of the largest quantities of fluid ever extracted from a human body in a like case io the history of medicine- This abnormal amount of foreign matter had totally displaced her heart, forcing her left lung into a very small locality and making respiration difficult and suffoca tion probable. The patient slept this morning in a lying position for the first time in mouths. Dr. Benedict has been congratulated on all hands, on the successful outcome of this difficult piece of surgical work. Donntion. The Ladies Parsonage society at their last meeting decided to give the members and friends of Oconee St. Cbuich the op portunity of showing their appreciation for the faithful labors and devoted services in the Master’s cause of Bro.

Jack Bennett is Fourth Sergeant of Com pany A. The companies have not yet been organized—consequently, the Ser- , geants all have charge of the green squad. Measuring Jack’s official capacity by tbe , amount of noise be makes, we would sup- 1 pose that he is the most able officer of the , University battalion. , We are very uneasy that Fitz Green’s ( health will fail him when he gets to prac- , ticing law.

We do hope and trust tbat the miduight 1 tread of students will not again be beard wending tbeir way to the Moore building. I This thing of tearing down doors, auu 1 ruining private properly, is becoming a ‘ chestnut.” It seems that some take spe- * cial delight iu making midnight explora- I tions of Dr. White’s office. Dr. White takes 1 every precaution, and does everything in 1 bis power, to keep out the midnight ma- ' raudeis, but nothing is able to turn the in vincible students from their undertaking. ' Now, Dr. While’s office and lecture room is on the first floor, which renders it ac cessible to this desperate band, and tbe consequence is, the “busted” students take their revenge on Dr. White’s furniture.— Dr. White is a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word, and would do no one an injury designealy. Now, we think that those who have been doing this midnight work, should put a stop to it. Besides do ing a great injustice and a great injury to Dr. White, it might result in the complete destruction of the Moore building, and with it all the costly aud valuable appara tus, without which the scientific depart ments could not be able to give full and complete instruction. Yesterday as the sun was sinking to rest behind the Western trees a letter was re ceived from Mr. Walter W. Sheppard stating tbat he would not be able to return to college this year. It will be remem bered that Mr. Sheppard was a candidate for anniversariau of the P. K. society. It devolves on some one else to become a candidate, as Mr. Sheppard had no oppo sition, and the numerous friends of Mr. W. D. Edis are insisting on bis making tbe race. After much persuasion he has con sented to allow his name to be proposed. There is no man in the University whom tbe writer has more respect and more friendship for than Will Ellis. All may rest assured that the P. K. society will have a representative whom they can well feel proud of aud who is entitled to all the honor he.cun receive from tbe hands of the members of this grand old soeiety. Mr. W.

Young Moou happened to pass in tbe vicinity of the mule, and in so doing the mule did as all mules will do occasion ally—it kicked, landing its heels upon the 1 dog iu the little boy’s arms, killing it in stantly and splattering its blood and brains < all over the person of its little owner. The sLangepart of the affair is that the boy ■ was not at all hurt. He, however, mourns < the loss of a little pet. 1 A Sunday Paper. I Atlanta, Ga.,Oct. 11—Mr. Hal Moore, 1 formerly of the Brunswick Journal has 1 made arrangements for tbe publication of 1 a Sunday paper iu Atlanta, to be known as tbe Chronicle. Tbe first issue will appear s next Sunday. t MR. TUSK. Clarke’s Able Representative Few Word* te Say. Hon. Henry O. Tuck, the genial and gifted “gentleman from Clarke,” arrived in the city this morning, and has been all the morning kept busy shaking bands with his numerous admirers, and answering ques tions as to the various matters which the Legislature has under consideration. A Chronicle man was one of those who was able to edge in a conversation, the substance of which we publish for those of our readers who have not seen Mr. Tuck since bis arrival. “What about the Olive bill, Mr. Tuck?’* was asked, as a starter. “Well,” said he “you can just put it down that if we have a full house on next Wednesday when the bill comes up for final consideration, the Olive bill will pass. The agents of railroad monopoly are see ing how much ground they have lost in tbe fight, and are alreapy beginning to cower before the truth as it is spoken by the friends of the Olive Bill. Yes, you can just be certain tbat if tbe railroad sdo not gain over some of our voters before next Wednesday, and if we have a full bouse, the Olive bill will become a law, the boasts of antagonistic organs to tbe contrary notwithstanding. On the motion to indefinitely postpone action, the friends of the bill showed tbeir strength by defeats ing this by a vote 77 to 67. It will take 88 votes to pass tbe bill, and I am sure tbat circumstances are propitious. The Olive bill, as at present considered, is one which has no provision for a forfeiture of charter on tbe part of the railroads violating the constitution. It merely provides a fine of uot more than $5006 a day upon any rail road, not remedying its violatian of the Constitution within 90 days of conviction by the Courts.” “What was the matter with the Univer sity bill?” “Tbe trouble in that was the fact that the farmers bad instructed a large number of their representatives against voting for it. It is true that some of these would have disregarded their instruction and have sup ported the bill, but there was Itttle hope for its passage iu the present condition of affairs. The unavoidable absence of about 10 of the Uuiversity’s friends such as John Hart, of Greene and Tom Mclntyre of Thomas, on the daj tbe vote was taken was another of tbe many circumstances that conspired against the passage of the bill.” Mr. Tuck says that the house is just at present tussling with the betterments ques tion. An interesting rumor from Atlanta is to the effect that tbe Atlanta Journal of this evening will come out showing up the methods used by lobbyists that have thronged the halls of tbe Legislature this session to secure votes against tbe Olive bill, and similar legislation. It is certain tbat such a write-up would mttkerich, rare and racy reading. Mr. Tuck will be detained in Athens un til next week, attending to sotpe business in the Superior court, He returns Tuesday night, to be present at the vote on the Olive bill on Wednesday. The Juvenile Missionary society of |he Methodist church gave a most enjoyable entertainment last evening at tbe residence of Mrs. J. W. Nicholson. The programme as presented consisted of recitations by Misses Mary Hunnicutt, Leila Cook, Julia Nicholson, Lucy Hunnicutt and Hilda Blount, and music by Miss Lilia Mande ville and Master Bedo Blount and Mr. Minor Nicholson. The exercises were enjoyed by a large crowd and were both delightful and profitable, quite a nice little sum being netted for the worthy purposes intended. Cellege P«liqc«. College politics are to-day at white heat and candidates as well as their friends, may be seen rushing in all directions, bringing into the societies those who are likely to vote for their respective men. In the Demosthenian society, Messrs. J. R. L. Smith and J. R. Cooper, are the two can didates for tbe Anniversarianship. In the absence of Mr. W. W. Sheppard, Messrs, W. D.

Whipping A Convict. Newnan, October 11. —Two or three nights ago a negro man named Henry Hines, convicted at the Match term of court for a misdemeanor, and who was working out his flue on the farm of one Mr. Hindsman, was suspected of stealing cotton, and strong evidence found of his guilt. Some citizens whippedd him severely last night. While some white men were passing on the public road, they w«re fired upon by the unknown parties, and two men badly wounded, one perhaps fatally. It has created great excitement in tbat section. Warrants have been sworn out and several arrests will follow.
