All of onr merchants are in a highly prosperous condition, with promise of an increased trade. The farmers can see daylight ahead, and for the first time since the war have raised enough supplies to support them until another crop is gathered. Bu siness is on a more settled basis than for years past, and credit can be given with a greater assurance of prompt payment. Profits in all lines are cut close, but every class is ef fected alike. Money is easy, and there is no fear of a panic or stria* gcncy i n the market. ' In fact, this morning’s san.rise will show a brighter dawn for the South than in thirty years past Indeed have we canse to return thinks to the Giver of all good for the great blessings that we now en joy and are spread out before us. Let us gy to work this new year’s morn with a firm determination to cultivate these blessings and so de port ourselves as to feel, at the close of the year, that we have tried to merit them. While the whole country is smiling with prosperity, onr own city of Athens has b ten especially favored The past year has Been many impor tant change i made. Stately build ings now cover ground that twelve months ago was waste places ; our street railway has passed under a new management, and we have now one of thc best lines in the South ; the electric light is about to break upon us; splendid sidewalks are laid where once pedestrians tramped through the mud; old manufactories have been enlarged and new ones added—in fact, look where yon will and you Bee evidences of progress made daring the past year. But by fav the most gratifying work done, is the healing of all differences be tween our citizens. Twelve months ago ou i* people were torn into war ring faptions—to-day they are uni« ted together as a band of brothers for the prosperity of their city. Our ballot-boxes havs been purged of the voteB of men who sell their suffrage, and for the first time since the war you find in Athens a united demo cratic party. But the outlook for the new year is even brighter than the old. The Georgia, Carolina «fe Northern rail road will enter our gates, and pour into the commercial lap of Athens the trade of a new and fertile sec tion ; the Georgia Midland will in all probability be graded, and the Athens A Jefferson road assured ; and we may expect that long-locked for Knoxville connection, and a link built to Washington, Ga. A mag nificent new hotel will be completed; onr city sewered and streets paved. We will see a new city park and pro bably electric cars running to it. A number jof small manntactories will be started, and steps taken to devel op our magnificent water powers. We will have a postal delivery ser vice and several thousand inhabi tants added to our population. The above predictions for the new year are not unreasonable, and we donoteeewhy they may not be re alized. Let every patriotic Athe nian start oat this morning with a firm determination to devote a por tion pf his time the coming year to working for his city. Buy a horn and blow on it but cue tone : “ Ath ens P’ Set aside a portion of your accumulations to enhance the pros perity of your city, and lend your aid and means to build up and devel op our town. Vote for any and every movement tending to the improve ment of Athens. Do not let a few dollars deter yon from keeping up with the procession. Old fogies and chronie growlers must retire to the rear, and the progressive element H run the Classic City for the next reive months. ; v ram begins the New Year The prosperous con work will accom- briug Elberton within 75'miles of Au- small sum that is necessary to in- j Ifusta, 40 miles of Athens, and about ' J 1‘)A rtf IrUnM All /if mktrtk ...tit sure Athens a handsome new hotel. This money can be subscribed in a short time by a thorough canvass of the city, for our people all realize the fact that a modern hotel is necessary for the progress and prosperity of the Classic City. A small sum from every citizen will furnish the needed money. The G., C. & N. road is now under headway, and by next fall the cars will be running into Atheus, Our merchants all did a fine trade the past year, property in our city is steadily advancing, and with a new hotel Athens will grow and prosper as no Georgia city has ever done before. That hotel must be built and on January 1st we hope the com mittee will go to work in earnest and finish the subscription. TO THE MERCHANTS OF ATHtNS- In the next few days Mr. J. H. Stone, agent for The Banner, will wait upon our merchants, and wc earnestly hope that every oue will make an advertising contract with him for the new year. It matters not what be your line of -business or the character of your customers, you will find at the end of the year that thc beneficial results from constantly keeping your name and business be fore the public, will many times re pay yon for cost of same. A large advertisement is not necessary, but a small card will answer every pur pose. Again, if all of our merchants- patronizeTnE Banner, it will prove a splendid advertisement for the city, by letting the public know the ex tent of the business done. This pa* per is now owned by the citizens of Athens and every dollar you expend with it will be returned to you, either in an increased trade or dividends on your stock. We intend - to greatly enlarge and improve our Weekly, and place it in every family in this section. 120 of Atlanta—all of which places will contest for tlie business of the county. I do not know a better opening in the South for a weekly newspaper than El berton. My only reasons for selling are those given above. To a good man I will sell the office at a bargain, and on easy terms of pay ment. This is a rare opportunity if you desire to embark in journalism. I will only offer The Star for sale a short time, when if it is not disposed of, will withdraw it from market. Write me at once, if you desire to purchase, for full particulars. T. L. Gantt, Athens.

The most interesting feature in commercial matters of late has been the decline in sugar, the price of which has dropped very nearly a cent in the New Orleans market since the highest price of the season was T eached some weeks ago. As it will be remembered that cluring the pe riod of advancing prices speculators and dealers purchased very freely, and must now as a consequence hold considerable stock, the decline in volves considerable losses for a num ber of people, unless there is a re action later on. The beet crop of Europe and the sugar cane crop of Cuba arc unex pectedly large, and as a consequence a decline wae forced in our home markets. Thiswill indeed be good news to consumers, who have been outrage ously bled for a year or more to swell the profits of trusts and specu lators. The prospect now is that sugar will decline to a reasonable price, and if the .trust can only be broken, the .finer grades will also drop. GEORGIA Ua.IT.ROAD Arrive.

It looks as if the Republican con spirators ont in Montana were de termined to capture the United States Senators from that State. They fight persistently for them, and they have the advantage of a United Slates Senate now ready to admit their men, providing there is, by hook or crook, some kind of Senator chosen in Montana. The Democrats have thus far prevented this, but it is only at the expense of blocking all legisla tion. Thc Senators really belong to the Democrats, and the Republican manoeuvres that seek to capture them are a'direct attack upon thc ballot box. Athens Cotton Exchange. Athens, Ga.
