THE ATHENS DAILY BANNER. VOL. II. ATHENS. GEORGIA. IRlDi Y MORNING, NOVEMBER 11. 1881. i; 1 * — NO- 311 TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. The returns from Tuesday’* elec tions are not yet as clear as could be desired. We give below the sub* stance. Virginia,—The democrats concede the election of Cameron, readjuster. The readjosters claim the legislature by 15 majority oibjoini baltot,fand the claim is probably correct This Leg. Mature is a yery important one as it will elect a U. S. Senator, all the su preme court judges, nearly all the cir cuit judges, and many state officials. The republicans, including negroes, will come in for their share. The negroes were almost solid with the re. adjusters. New York.—The Herald estimates the democratic majority at 5,000; the World at 80,000; tho Sun at 10,000 ; while the Timos claims the state for the republicans. Both sides claim the Lgislature.

Pensylvania.—Bailey, a Cameron republican, has probably been elected ever Wolie,'independent republican, and Noble, democrat, by nearly 8,000 plurality Minnesota.—Hubbard,republican, Is eleoted governor, by 20,000 or 25\ 000- New Jersey.—The democrats have gained 8 io the senate, and 4 in the house; but are still in the mi. nority.

Massachusetts.—'The senate will (land 85 republicans, 4 democrats and 1 independent republican, Colorado and Kansas are so cer tainly republican that there is no in* terest in the details.

Leaving the Northeastern railroad at the thriving village of Harmony Grove near Dr. Hardman’s and going east six miles, yon pass ont of Jackson into Banks, and crossing Black’s creek, yon arc in Madison county. Some of the hnest bottomlands lie along this creek, intrinsically worth from $50 to 5100 per acre. The finest corn I have seen for years is now standing on these fine creek bottoms and yet in the midst of all this, com recently sold at a sale at 51.15 and $1.25 per bushel and wheat at $1.80; and why f Simply because threeafourtha ot tbe land planted in cotton. On the Banks county side ot this creek upon a farm that has only pro duced about six baits of cotton per year, for years, and which used to produce thousands of bushels ot corn, only enough land has been planted in com to make 150 bushels, while 25 bales of cotton will be gathered this year, and the producer of these 25 bales says he 'fwill fall a little behind with his guano bjlts.” Mr. Jesse White will soon start steam saw mill about three miles east of Harmony .Grove. In close prox imity are five gins and two cam mills, nlLthe gine-are . feyg-yt—Lower .down in Madison county, tbe fields are white with cotton, many ot them looking as, though they had not been picked over the first time. Among bumness men the impression prevails, that cotton would advance at once, if.the money coffins; ot the north waa unlocked—that it will ad vance before spring scarcely any one donbta. THE CITY OT CANDLER. At the lut term of our superior court a Verdict was obtained to ssli in ’lots,’ the 'Long lands,' about seven miles above Jeffereon; but it waa not then known that they would soon be 'town lots,* and yet it is true, and the city of ‘Candler’ looms up la the near future, as the first town on the Gainesville and Jefferson narrow guageroad. Before this railroad en\ terprise was talked up, these lands would not have brought $8 pet tore, and yet they add on last Tuesday for three times the amount. GOOD PRICES FOB LAND.
