Tbb City’s School to flourish Mid grow. will^eonUnqp Mrsic sad base ball art the role Aiona big bank for Athens ! “Ah then ‘Old Botch.’” GEORGIA PEOPLE. OUR GREATEST NEED. Athens has flourished like the rose within the post twelve months. Nothing seems to have obstructed the progressive city and her citizens in their triumphant prosperity. Tl ey have achieved more than has fallen to the lot of any other city in-tbis section Of the South. They have built new schools, established a free postal delivery, secured a paid Are department with electric lire alarms, discarded the lazy, unprogressive street car mule for the busy hum of the electric motor, built bridges over the Oconee leading out to the coun. try to invite the income of new trade, built railroads, put sewers under the streets, and best of all started upon the work of paving the 'treats with Belgian blocks. And, surely this has been sufficient to keep Athens labor and Athens capital busy enough for one year. But, the end is not yet. Athens stands in need of a new hotel, and until this need has been supplied, the city will be retarded in its growth. The demand is a crying one. It musi be "Jelled at once. The hotels of- Athens at present cannot meet the demand of the trav elling public. The facilities must be enlarged to catch the Northern travel that other cities are catching with such profit to themselves. This- is a serious matter and ought to ap peal to the business men of Athens most forcibly. A new hotel is our greatest need to-day. should be no doubt on this point, is any avant, and that Mr. Blaios him- self is the msn who should settle this question ; but we sre only at pres ent repenting the condition of sflsirs that prevailed before the previous presidential election of 1888.

Harrison to be dominated. Here’s the way Augusts the Chron icle talks sense in it* editorial col* umn* aboat Athens : There is no more beautiful or prosperous town in Georgia than Athens. It is on the Oconee river, 115 miles from Au gusta, on the Georgia railroad. It haa about ten thousand people, and its cotton receipts are between sev enty-five thousand and one hundred thousand bales. It has two foun dries, both very prosperous, two planing mills, three banks, three cot ton factories, besides other enter prises, and does a business amount ing to $10,000,000 a year. Her wholesome houses do an immense trade in Georgia and Carolina. Real estate in Athens is advancing every day. The school facilities are ahead of any town in the South. Besides the State Uuiversity, there are two tine female colleges. Athens has a compact aid well graded public school system. Three railroads now center there and the completion of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern will add another fine trunk line to her railroad facilities. The weal thiest insurance company in the South is located there. Athens has two first-class journals. Athens has furnished great men to the State There were the Cobbs, Lumpkins and D ugiiektvs. Congressman Carl ton is also a native of Athens aud resides in a beautiful home near town. Athens is classic and thrifty. The town is an admirable composite of old and new—of the elegant and solid. It is the home of good-look ing and thoughtful men, as our type cuts will show. SOMETHING TO LAUGH AT. look —At- GOVERNOR NORTHEN AND HIGHER EDUCATION. Down in Brunswick the other day at the convention of school teachers of this State, Governor Nortben made a speech in which he showed clearly enough that Georgia needs better University training for the teachers of the common schools This indeed, was the text of Gover nor Northen’s whole speech, and he talked most favorably of the plan now on foot here at the University to establish a Normal school for the teachers of Georgia to attend two months every year free of tuition. Reviewing the Governor’e speech,the Brunswick Times says : “The schools, he thought, could be made better by the State giving the opportunity of special training to teitebere, through the inaugura tion of normal schools. In Georgia, if we have teachers specially trained for their work in institutions de- signed*for the purpose, it is because they come to ns from other States, or because those amongst our young men and women who purpose to take up the profession, go outside the borders of Georgia to get the advan tage of such special training. These humiliating facts were recited by the Governor. He is right. It is a shame to Georgia that she stays among the hindmcsl in educational progress. “ The next Georgia legislature ought to remedy this defect, in so far as normal instruction for teach* ere ib concerned, by esudilishing normal schools. The University of Georgia ought to have organized into its aeries of occupational schools, a school of pedagogics, and it ought to be opened alike to both sexes.” It is the plan of the University faculty to ooen the school of peda gogics to both sexes, and, indeed, to every white teacher in Georgia. T1 e idea ia to make the normal school -perfect in every respect, and Gover nor Northen stands squarely with the people of Georgia when he gives his endorsement to the gre.it scheme. Tiie even-bright and interesting Chronicle, of Augusta, brought to its many Athens subscribers on Sunday last a pleasant surprise in the way of a happy and sparkling “ write-up” of the Classic City’s ad vantages and abundant resources. The sketch was from the pen of Mr Edward Ingersoli. Wade, the Chronicle’s vigorous and able cor respondent in this city. Mr. Wade had a theme that is touched with an inspiration itself, and entering fully into the spirit of his work, he has given to the readers of the Chronicle a graphic sketch of the faiiest city in the Piedmont section of the South It is right and proper that Athens should be advertised to the world Here is a city fora model to other cities ot the South. A city it is, in very truth, whose life history reads like a magic novel, so fair, so happy and so bright. Tell it to the world, citizens of Athens, and let this truth go with it: Athenians can give to uonestxhearted immigrants a wel come that can eclipse even the pro verbial hospitality universally ac corded to the South.

An exchange rises to remark : Young Mr. Blaine has returned from Europe. It might be a good idea to interview the young man on the out look in 1892 Young Mr. Harrison has given the country his idea of the situation. Young Mr. Blaine ought to b*e able to speak with equal emphasis and authority. Tbk Boston Herald says very pointedly : We don’t believe the re • publicans of Massachnsetts will care to fight the next campaign on the issue of putting a bayonet behind every ballot. For this reason we rather think Mr. Lodge isn’t in it They’re After Me” is the tune to the music of which “Old HntcY’ skipped out of Chicago, and “1 hope it won’t happen again,” is the tone that marched him back. Those bonds will, float with the next spriog-time financial breeze, and the streets of Classic Athens wilt soon echo the rattle of Belgian blocks and the merry din of progress. McEinleyish has but one virtue in its„operation. It will kill the re publican party as dead as a door nail- For this relief much thanks. MR. BLAINE AND THE CANDIDACY. Says the Boston Herald : The statement that Mr. Blaine will not . - be a candidate for President is now It doesn’t require a wise man these days to see that what Georgia wants most is a grander and better Uuiversity. It is reckoned that the Billion Congress means a per capita tax ot $15.87 for every man, woman and, child in the country. —» - | And now, another handsome new A man who has practiced medicine for 40 years, ought to know salt from sugar; read what he says : Toledo, O., Jan. 10,1887.
