THE ATHENS POST OFFICE- There are no new developments •bout tbe Athens post office, but it is the general fccliug that a change will be made in the next few weeks. The present efficient incumbent, how ever, will doubtless be permitted to ter*e out his time, which expires next April. The race is said to be between & lady connection of Judge Speer, in Athens, Mr. A. E. Beusse, and Madison Davis. Mr. Bensse is endorsed by Gov. Bollock, Geo. Longstrcet, and also hns a petition signed by all the Statu officers and leading citizens of Athens. The lady Judge Speer - ; s said to be sup porting has not asked any local en dorsemeot that- we know of, but the appointment would give entire satis faction to our people. Davis is backed by Buck and the Republican Central Committee. He has also a paper sigued by several democrats of Athens, stating that he is an hon. est man and a good colored citizen, but not asking his appointment, as reported. Our citizens only request that President Harrison give them a decent white man for postmaster. of our city, we the new building and loan associa tions started up. They are all doiog well. These associations are the best savings banks ever started up Tor those in moderate circumstances.aud every laboring uiau should have a lew sliaies iu one. There are a nutn her of cosy little houses now paid for in Athens, that are due to these associations. By the exjrcise of' a little economy, to .supplement the rent you would have to pay for a house, will in a few years give you a home of your own. Nearly every dollar deposited in a loan associa tion is a clear saving to the invesler, for he would otherwise spend the money without scarcely knowing what became or it. If you are not already a shareholder iu a building and loan association lose no lime iu enrolling j-our name. There is no possible chance of losing your won ey, and every dollar you so invest commences at once to help you work. *d *Hot»l. 0W stand on WaU Tiu Bill of Faro is flic Best, aid the Accommodations will please all.

They give Athens an air of business and enterprise that nothing else can impart. The now lights are working like aciiarm, aud our people are de_ lighted with them. Strangers who now visit Athens will be most favor ably impressed with this evidence of progress. With our paved side walks and handsome new buildings, indeed the Classic City gives evi dence of shaking off the yoke of fogyijm, and taking her place among the progressive cities of the age. Now let us have sewers and our business streets laid tjith Belgian blocks. A progressive element has taken possession of Athens, and croakers must retire to the rear. BLOCKADERS. A number of our country friends arc getting into serious trouble with Uncle Sam about blockading. A majority of the men arrested are in destitute circumstances, and it is a great hardship on their families when they are arrested and kept in jail. We indeed sympathise with them ; but when a man knowingly and wilfully violates the laws of his country, he must expect to take the consequences. This business of nu king illicit whiskey is a dangerous experiment, and not one man in a hundred but it costs more than his gains. Our advice to the moon shiners is to take up their blockade stills, and if they me inclined to manufacture their corn into whiskey, pay the government tax. No one can succeed by violating the laws of his country. Sooner or later he will be caught up with, when his gains must go to pay him out of trouble. J. T. ANDERSON. in BROAD STREET, ATHENS, GA.

There is now no louger any doubt about the early completion of this important new railway, and the pros pect is that the carB will be running to Athens from Monroe, N. C., by next fall, aud in a year from uow the entire line will be finished to At lanta. This road will be of inesti znable .benefit to our city, and make it one of the most important busi ness poiuts in Georgia. We have now only branch roads entering Athens, but iu spite of this draw back, our city ranks third in Geor gia's s a cotton market. When we have a great trunk line passing di rectly throng!) our limits, you will see property advance in value and our trade increase many fold. The completion of the G-, C. & N. to Athens will insure to us the ex* tension of the Georgia Midland, en courage the building of the Jefferson . branch, an ultimate extension of that road to Dahlonega, and a con nection with the Marietta <fe North Georgia, thus making Athens the distributing and trading point for a large area of country extending out in every direction. Oar people cannot begin to appre ciate the benefit that this new line will be to them. By this time next year you will see Athens dirt a val uable possession. New manufacto ries and buildings will spring np on every hand, and business of all kinds will prosper. THE ELBERTON STAR. Messrs. Scbevenell & Williams leave to-day for Elberton -to take charge of The Stab, sold them by Mr. T. L. Gantt. That these gen tlemen will make a success of the paper we risk nothing in asserting. Besides being a gentleman of fine education and an interesting writer, Mr. Schevenell is possessed of supe rior business qualifications. Mr. Williams is a most worthy young one of the best and tastiest in the South. The citizens county have reason to con. themselves upon The Stab such excellent hands, that they will have, an help to build up and ilendid city and mag W THE WEEKLY BANNER. The Athens merchants who desire to reach the trade of the surround ing country, should have a card in the weekly edition of The Athens Banner. It is undoubtedly the handsomest and newsiest paper pub lished in the South, and its oiicula- tion is large and rapidly increasing. We are making this weekly our espe cial pet and pride, and intend that it shall be the medium tor communica tion between Athens and our country friends. We will be glad to forward specimen copies to any non-subscri- ber who would like to see it. For less than two cents per week the public can secure all the Dews of the day, in a compact and entertaining form, besides several dollars worth of continued stories, during the year, from the pen of the be9t writers of the day. No family can afford to be without the Week i t Banner. It is an encyclopaedia of the news of the week. And neither should any pro gressive Athens merchant fail to have his business made known through this splendid advertising medium. //up: c/ov recede™ attraction OVER A MILLION DISTRIBUTED!

THE ATLANTA JOURNAL- The success of this paper has been pre-eminent. Last year it paid to the stockholders a dividend of fifty per cent., and is this year expected to pay 100 per cent. Tbe Journal is an iron-ribbed democratic paper, and stands squarely by the people in their fight against monopolies and trasls. It is one of oar most valued exchanges, and should be taken by every family in the State. The At- tanta Journal hns already com menced the fight for Cleveland and and tariff reform in 1892, and The Banner will be found battling by its side. We may differ with the Jour nal on some issues, but on all great questions we consider it one of the soundest democratic papers in the Sonth. Commissi oners.
