The Baxxkk on yesterday published

The Everlasting Hog—Mb. Edit
or: One of the greatest evils we have
to contend with, is the existence of hog
pens in the thickly settled parts of our
city. They are not.oniy exceedingly
unpleasant to the smell, equalto, or
perhaps worse than the pole-cat, but
they absolutely endanger the health of
the whole community. And unless
our council will pass an ordinance pro
hibiting them within the thickly settled
limits, the interest and vigilance of our
efficient Sanitary Inspector, nor any
other power can save us from serious
sickness next summer.
We have no disposition to curtail the
rights or privileges ..f any citizen with
in reasonable bounds, but wc do insist
that no man, for the sake of a hog, has
the right to endanger the health and
lives of his neighbors. That yon will
throw the influence of your’vaiuable
paper oh the side of this reform, is the
prayer of many citizens.

begins in that city tomorrow and
continues through the week. The d.-

entire interest to the working up of a
Hreat occasion, and that it will result
in a great and good show no one famil
iar -with Augusta’s pluck can doubt,

be worth going to Augusta to see. The
program for the week is as follows:
Monday, Jun.i Id—Poultry and pet

Tuesday—Presentation of the free
dom of the city to His Majesty by the
mayor and council.
At night the trades’ display will

Thursday, Day—Free tournaments,
grotesque races, games, sports, etc.
Night, Grand Caruival ball.
All in ail a great week will be wit
nessed, and the Fountain City will
overflow witli visitors from all over
Georgia and Carolina. A number of
Athenians have stock at the exhibits,
and will watch with interest the distri
bution of the blue ribbons.
The old reliable Georgia railroad is
offering wonderfully reduced rates and
will cariv down a large number of Ath
enians each day. The authorities of
the road never fail to back an enter
prise witli hearty co-operation and to

With next issue of the Sunday Ban
ker we begin the publication of a thrill
ing serial story entitled “Traced in
Blood, or the Little Old Man of Bat-
tinguolles,” by Emile Gaboriau. The
story will be tound to be full of inter
est each week as the plot doesn’t lag,
and will ke kept up by every reader
whoence begins it. 'The story will
also be published in the Weekly Ban
ner, beginning next week, and will
doubtless be found as interesting to our
readers all over North Georgia as the
best uovels that are published. From
this time on we will continue to pub
lish serial stories both in our Sunday
and Weekly editions. We will get those
of the very brat authors in the laud and
will warrant onr readers that they will
get as interesting stories as the uovels
to be'found at the news agencies aud at
a much cheaper cost.
We are now arranging for the publi
cation of a serial story with a local plot
and written by an Athenian. It will
be interesting in the extreme.

change at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—There is a
lively sensation in the Georgia Farm
ers’ AUianee exchange. Some of the
officers are rushing in their resigna
tions. It is charged that some of them
had a big speculation on foot to buy
provisions cheap, and supply their
friend* at advanced price*. The Alli
ance ha* a membership of more than
.100,0U0.
A secret meeting of the Alliance was
held here yssterday. The local paper*
arc trying to suppress the whole affair.
It ii said the most criminating evideuee
has been found.
A big sensation was created yesterday
in Alliance circles when the resigna
tion of Felix Corput, as president of
the exchsnge was accepted, aud W. L*
Peek was elected in bis place.
He has heap opposed, however, by L
F. Livington, president of the State
Alliance, who wants to be governor,
and wants it had. Corput has not bet n
as friendly to Livingston os the Utter
would like, and bas been at work
against him.
The point of attack, so far a* can be
learned, was the salary Corput receiv
ed. This has lieen $3,000. Pome of the
directors have intimated that the sum
was too much, Corput said he’d none of
it,'and stepped down and ont.
There was also talk of mismanage
ment, but ail the directors denied that
there was nuy truth in that.
There was a stormy meeting yester
day. Livingston wanted to be presi
dent of both the Alliance and the Alli
ance exchange, but in this was thwart
ed by the election of Peck, who takes
the place at $1,000. The fight is likely
to have a strong bearing on the guber
natorial election. Corput, who is very
strong, has been understood to favor
IV. J, Nor then. The result cannot be
’predieted, but the Alliance is sure to
cut a big figure in the camp aigu.—0L-

HANNAH B. BOUTHWORTH,
Died Jan-. 7, 1890, :
Aged 30 years.
The face of Mrs. Southwortb was ex
posed during the services. Although
greatly emaciated, it bore a natural and
peaceful expression. The Rev. H. K.
Beyer, an assistant of the Rev Dr. Sat-
terlee, conducted the services. He con
fined himself to the reading of the Pro
testant Episcopal service for the dead,
and made no remarks. Mrs. Martin, her
son, and other relatives, were much af
fected.
When the casket was being borne
from the house and placed in the hearse,
most of the persons who thronged the
sidewalk uncovered their heads. The
coach immediately behind the heanr
was occupied by the mother and brother
of Mrs. Southwortb, and James Lee
and bis daughter, and the other four
coaches by relatives and friends.
The remains were taken to Green
wood and placed in the receiving vault.
They will be removed to Louisville,
Ky., for final Interment.

DRAWING THE LINE.
Drady Race Fight in a Northern
. School Room.
Alton, IU., Jan. II.-[Special.]-There
is terrible excitement here over the co
education of the races. The Alton board
if education has provided separate
schools tor colored children, but the
negroes want their children to attend
the schools set apart for the whites
They hail threatened and threatened to
force their way into the schools and pul
their children along side the whites,
and flatly refused Co permit their cliil-
ilreu to attsud the school houses set
apart for the negro children. These
threats, however, until today. Were
looked upon as idlu and mean ngless.
This morning'the negroes took action
in the matter. Scores of adult ne,
accompanied by lialf a hundred
children, went to the high school and
demanded admission. Superintendent
Powell is a mild mannered man and
offered no obstructions. The black chil
dren walked in and took possession of
all the desks they found unoccupied
The white pupils protested ' and began
to pick up their books and make pre
parations to leave.
Some of the colored boys grinned at
the white girls, and as soon as the ne
gro men left the bnilding the white
pupils assaulted the blacks. There was
a hard fight for fifteen minutes, during
which books, ink stands, rulers, slates
ai d hair filled the air. The whites fin
ally drove the blacks ont of the room
and chased them out of the yard and
continued to fight in the streets. The
white girts Urged their champions on
with encouraging shouts and brought
them munitions of war, when possible.
