Claaalc City Dota.
Athens, Ga., August 14.—Yesterday morn
ing the Daily Banner-Watchman published the
names of the Athenians who have volunteered
to assist Texas in the coming unpleasantness.
The list contains nearly two hundred namea
and is headed by that of our Mayor R. K.
Reaves. They met Saturday night and
f irmed a company and elected officers.
We are voting to-day whether Athens shall
issue bonds to the amount of $35,000 to secure
the location of the Technological School in Ath
ens. As it requires a two-thirds vote, or rather
two thirds of the registered votes of last year to
carry the measure, and even if it is carried the
amount and the inducements Athens can offer
may not be sufficient, so it does not seem cer
tain by any means, that we will secure this
boon.
Politics are rather dull and it does not seem
as though the stirring scenes of last year will
be repeated It is pretty generally conceded
that Mr. W. 8. Wood, the Knights of Labor
candidate for mayor, will have no opposition.
For sheriff of Clarke county, there are two can
didates in the field, Mr. Jack Weir, the present
incumbent, and Mr. M. T). Browsing, and it is

before the close of the race. Hon. R. B. Rus

CHURCHES YESTERDAY.
Berean>>Cougregat lenal.
As usual, the services at this church yester
day, were interesting and largely attended de
spite the intense heat and dust.
The wife of the pastor continues to improve
in health, and Rev. Mr. Shaw was able to occu
py the pulpit at both services.
At night be spoke from the subject, “Hope,”
-n<l bis discourse was an able one.
Hope creates a desire for everything and
makes all efforts of man.
By hope the laborer toils patiently and ac
complishes his efforts.
By hope the world moves on and all evolu
tions takes place.
Hope carries all people to church, no matter
what that hope is for.
A person has no power in this life and no in
fluence over bis fellow-men when be has no
hopes.
By hope is faith and this will carry you to a
better world.
NOTES.
The congregation was a large one.
The attendance is not the least retarded on
account of the hot weather.
All societies connected with the church are
doing a grand work.
The services will soon be removed and held
in the basement.
The Willing Workers Society will give a de
lightful moonlight entertainment to-night at
the residence <>t Mrs. Harris nt ar the church.
A very large crowd will be present.
Grace Cliurcli.
I Last night, Rev. Mr. Christian spoke ably
from the 2d verse of the 12th chapter of He
brews, having spoken from the first verse of the
same chapter at the morning service. Text:
"Looking unto Jesus who is the author and the
finisher of our faith,” etc.
Mr. Christian said that the hercules in the
oriental countries had a manner of running ra
ces for a prize. After it had been placed at one
end of the race track the contestants would
start at the other end and ke p their eyes on the
prize to prevent going over unnecessary ground
in running outside the track. This is the way
that people must run the race to Jesus; must
look unto Him. One person must nut try to im
itate another, for by so doing they imitate only
their falses and wrongs.
Never take your eyes off the prize for which
you are running, lest you get out of the track
and lose in the race.
No man must try to take steps after another,
but run on bis own accord.
He who loses confidence in himself is the one
who will get left, but at the same time be must
not have too much self-confidence.
NOTES.
A crowded church.
The singing is always good.
The membership continues to increase.
Dr. Palmer will preach here to-morrow night.
An entertainment was announced to take
place at the Ffth Baptist mission on Thursday
night.
Mr. Christian improves in his manner of
speech and seems to have a graat influence over
the audience at large.
A NOTABLE FAJIIFY REUNION.
Children and Grandchildren at the
Home of Hr. and Nir*. Manford
Bell, Near t aloova
Springs
One of the enjoyable events of the year
'B6, was that at the hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. Sanford L. Bell, near Catoosa Springs,
yesterday, in which numbers of children and
friends of this aged pair gathered and a family
reunion was celebrated.
Among those of the family connections was
Mrs. Harbin, the aged mother of Mrs. Bell, who
has witnessed the trials of thia life for 82 sum
mers. She has twenty great grand children.
Mr. and Mrs. Bell has seven children and nine
grand children who were all present, and this
made the crowd a large and pleasant one.
It has been four years since this family has
met before, and this made|the occasion on
yesterday more enjoyable.
Mr. Bell is well-known as one of the oldest
and most popular conductors on the Western
and Atlantic road, and on yesterday his moth
er in-law could but realize his ripening age as
she looked over the faces of 25 of her children
and grandchildren.
Among Mr. Bell’s children’s children were
Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Taylor with their two little
gons, Willie and Frankie, of Atlanta; Mr. C. N.
Bell, wife and child; Mr. G. W. Glaze, wife and
children, of Dalton; Rev. E. B. Robinson, wife
and children, of Raytown, Tenn.; T. A. Bell and
wife, of the East Tennessee railroad, Knoxville;
Mr. Clifford Bell, who has just returned from
Behms Commercial College at Chattanooga;
Master Conner Bell, who is still under his fath
er’s roof; Mrs. M. J. Church, Mr. Bozard, of
the R. R. Y’. M. C. A.; J. A. Lyons, Charles
Spinks, Miss Nelia Evans, and a Capitol re
porter.
The whole day passed off most enjoyably and
the affair was one of rare occurrence.
The services at the campmeeting grounds for
the past week have been of the highest interest
and largely attended.
Mr. Bel! is a popular citizen in his section as
be is a railroad contractor, being a large and
successful farmer.
Everybody who were fortunate enough to be
present on this memorable occasion cannot ex
press too many thanks for the kind and hospit
able treatment received by Mr. and Mrs. Bell at
their home on yesterday.
The greater portion of the crowd were from
Atlanta, except those who were related to the
family. Most of the attendants returned yes
terday, while some remained over until to-day.
A Used Hevetnent.
Some three or four weeks ago, some of the
members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union met and organized a Gospel and temper
ance society for young people, at Middlebrooks
hall,on West Peters street. Several meetings
have been held, which take place every Monday
night, and the movement promises to be very
beneficial to this part of the city. The object
of these meetings is to further the cause of tem
perance and Christianity, and all those inter
ested, both young and old, are invited to attend
and take part in this grand work.
