It is utterly imperiahable; the fire

Athens and Her Prospects,
A then? has reason to he proud
hfr university, her academics and
schools; but it is not of her great
popular institutions that we design
at present to speak. Passing from
that place to this a few days since,
we met one or more cotton-wagons
for almost every hundred yards
the way, which clearly proved that
Athens was fully entitl d to the
reputation she has obtained for be¬
ing the best cotton market in the
State—Savannah not excepted.—
We learn from reliable sources that
much cotton is brought from Mor¬
gan county, and within four miles
of Madison. The reason given by
farmers for this action on their part,
and for "shaking” their home mar¬
ket, is that they receive from an
1 -Sth to 1 - 10 th of a cent, more per
pound for their cotton in the
Athens market. The liberality
the business men of Athens is at¬
tracting the trade from a wide area
of teritory, and it will continue to
widen so long as the inducements
now held out for trade continues to
be made by Athens.
The prospects, then, of Athens,
arc bright, and a brilliant future
lies before her. But to preserve
these prospects the business men
must keep keenly alive to all her
surroundings, and seize upon every¬
thing that tends to increase her in¬
fluence, and open up every channel
of trade having a tendency to flow
towards her. And right hero wo
would beg to call the attention of
Athenian to the importance
of extending tho N. E. K. R., both
ways—that is from Lula to Rabun
Gap,and from Athens via Wutkins
villo and Madison, to Katonton.
This would mako this Road otic of
tho most important in the 8 tate
and at once make Athens a centre
of trado of which her most enter¬
prising citizens now seem hardly to
dream.
In nil the history of matrimony
many interesting and many ro¬
mantic marriages have been placed
on record. Last night Texas and
Georgia joined in consummating a
marriage a little romantic. Some
two years or more since young Mr.
Leo Dallas went with his father’s
family from Upson county to Texas.
Near him in the Lone Star State was
a relative of Miss Lula Good rum, of
Monroe county. This relative man¬
aged to get a correspondence be¬
tween Mr. Dallas and Miss Lula.
The correspondence produced an
exchange of photographs. Now im¬
agine two young people courting
l 2 , h 0!Wr ’ s »’iclures. : »><1 you have
wllttt Bwm to somo young
a prosy business. But
vivid imaginations, high apprecia¬
tion of the photographic art and
easy susceptibilities brought tho
young couple through the meliflu¬
ent channel of epistolary corres¬
pondence to a happy engagement.
Arriving in Georgia last \\ ednos
day, Mr. Dallas, when all were en¬
joying tho day of rest, found the
young lady’s whereabouts, and, for
the first time, enjoyed the reality of
smiles approximating connubial
sweetness. Amid the gushing glad¬
ness of the first meeting, and tho
time and the place and the minister
to tie the holy knot, were nil decided
on, and, ns Mrs. Smith would say,
to advesperate clouds of matrimony
approximated colligation, yesterday

The Macon and Brunswick ILiil
road Company gives notice that it
will apply to the next Legislature,
for the passage of a bill extending
the time for tho payment of the
balance of the purchase money due
the State for said railroad, over a pc
r ‘"^ ofthirtv years, and to provide
^ 01 interest upon said deferred
payment. The Brunswick iSeajmrt
Appeal is greatly incensed at this
action of the road, and says;
“At present we are not prepared
to criticise this attempted departure
from the terms of the sale,nor arc we
sufficiently informed ns to the plans
and purposes of the company, to
pas* judgement upon this unlocked
for movement. That such an aj>
plicaliraii'i!! be vigorously
however there can be no doubt.
and we underestimate the inteUi
gence and patriotism of the
men who were vesterdav decud to
General Assembly, if they should
fdU ly tih ^ e * uch 1 ‘^posiiion. We
nrc inclined to the opinion
Messrs. Wilton A Oft,, will find lb«
straight path of good faith the
(smoothest and most profitable in the
long run. The newly elected Gov
ernor is pledged to the people to
compel a faithful compliance with
the lease-sale act or forfeiture, and
the newly chosen Legislature will
back him with any compulsory
legislation that may be necessary.”
