SUBSCRIPTION BATES: One year, in advance ................ li.ro Six months', in advance............... .60 Saturday, March 16, 1895. Jules Verne says Charles Dickens was England’s greatest novelest. Julius L. Brown wants 135,000 fees as attorney for the Western & Ailantic railroad receiver¬ ship. A man of Fall River, Mass., BWaliowed a half dollar, a quar¬ ter and a nickle. The money killed him. The Covington Star is a hand¬ some and well gotten up sheet. In fact, Covington has two line local papers—the Star and the Enterprise. The negroes who went to Mexico can come back on foot, if they so desire, but those who went to Africa can’t so easily step across the big pond. Troupslanded last Saturday on Panama and a battle was fought at Bocasdel Taro. Garza, the rebel commander, was kill¬ ed by Lopez, and ho in turn was killed by the rebels. Dr. Parkhust will be tried be¬ fore a Presbytery of his church. The trial was brought by prefer¬ ring charges against the said Dr. Parkhust, who had been guilty of offensive treatment to his brethren in the ministry. The murder of the drummer, Mr. Hyatt, at Fort Gaiues, by sheriff McAlister, is creating a very great stir in every sec¬ tion where the young man was known. It was an outrageous crime, if all the facts stated are true. The drummers of Georgia are properly taking steps to have McAlister prosecuted. Col. E. C. Machen, the great, developer, went through Geor¬ gia a few years ago with a me¬ teoric swish and whose exploits still linger in the memory of the citizens of Macon, has turned up again. A Richmond dispatch announces his arrival to that city as president of the Old Do¬ minion Construction Company, to pay the charter fee of the Chesapeake, Shenduu and West ora railroad. Colonel Machen informed liis Richmond hearers that his company would proba¬ bly dump about $5,000,000 in improvements in Virginia. We have no doubt the Colonel will do the dumping if his company has the wherewitbs.—Enquirer Suu. The Tradesman states that the cotton used in Southern mills last year would have cost nearly $2,500,000 more if these mills had been located in the North, aud that the cotton con Burned in the Northern mills cost $5,500,000 more than it would in the South.—Ex. Granting that the above fig¬ ures are correct , it is reasonable to think that the South may yet be the great cotton manu¬ facturing section of tho United States. Wherever the most money can be realized there is where the machinery will be placed. Water power in the South is abundant and the cot ton is at hand. All that is wanted is the machinery with r which to run the mills* It 1 seems along time for the finding » out of these facts, yet it is not too late to have the spindles humming all over this | giving employment to thousands I who cannot now find work to do. >;-;.-;* ; back to the old fashion town I meeting where every citizen | would have chance to venti¬ a late himself after the style of the Grabtown meeting, when they discussed the location of the village academy? ODD FELLOWS. Many years ago there lived in an interior town of Pa. three shoe-makers, who made their daily bread at the last. One be¬ came sick, and was not able to make the wherewithal to feed and clothe his family. The other two came to his relief and fed his family, and administered to the wants of the sick man. He recovered, then the second was likewise laid on a bed of afflic¬ tion—so on till the third had his turn of suffering. These three linked together, and be¬ ing an odd number, formed the order now called 1 ‘ Odd Fellows.” The special feature of this so¬ ciety is relief for their brethren, and the insignia of the order is a chain of odd links, a remind¬ er of the fidelity to each other of these three noble men, who sacrificed for their brethren. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows commends itself in charities to the world. A GREAT SALE. Pianos and Organs to Be Sold at Anything They Will Bring. The Freyer & Bradley Music Co., of Atlanta, has just pur¬ chased the entire business of the. Miles & Stiff Company, and are preparing the greatest clos¬ ing out salo of the 40 pianos and 60 organs in the stock ever attempted in this country. The question of cost does not enter into consideration in the dispos¬ al of the instruments. Mr. W. W. Crocker, the manager of the Freyer & Bradley Music Co., made the Miles & Stiff Co. a lump offer for their entire busi¬ ness, it was accepted, aud now the goods must be sold at what they will bring. The sale will begin Monday, March 18, and one can make their own prices and they -frill be considered. The Freyer & Bradley Music Co. will fully guarantee all the instruments sold to be just as represented, and the sale is not like that of a firm going out of business, for the Freyer tfc Bradley Music Co, remains to protect the purchaser This is a great opportunity for those who have in contem¬ plation the purchase of a piano or organ any time within a year or two, and it will pay to make the trip to Atlanta for this pur¬ pose. Never again will the op¬ portunity be given of buying a new piano or organ for less than it cost for the material. The sale takes place in the old ware rooms of the Miles & Stiff Co., in the Grand. In the stock was over thirty thousand pieces of sheet music, aud this the Frey¬ er & Bradley Music Co. is giv¬ ing away to the ladies. Address all correspondence to 63 Peachtree street, Atlanta. IMPORTANT. The Supreme Court of Geor¬ gia has decided that every busi¬ ness man who runs a dray in connection with liis business must pay a license on every ve¬ hicle he runs. It is very impor¬ tant that business men should know this, that they may al j way proceed advisedly, 1 The Banner has a good art : ^ c ' e " ee ^ opposing rnedi I whiskies. & j i§» KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used.
