ATHENS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 9. 1891.
RESTING WELL.
MR. HENRY M'DONALD IS DOING
VERY WELL INDEED.
HE MAY GET WELL YET.
HI. CtM I. Carefully Watched and he
I. Tenderly N ursed by .HI* Moth
er—What the Doctor.
Think.
Mr. Henry McDonald U resting
well.
And bas a fighting chance for bit
life.
As, so far, no complications bare
arisen to make the treatment of bis
wound more difficult, than is a wound
of that character under ordinary cir
cumstances.
It is the opinion of the surgeons in
charge that be may now pull through,
as his wound is not necessarily fatal.
Immediately after he was shot hi-
parents were telegraphed to, at Atlan
ta, and yesterday bis mother, accom
panied by Dr. Westmoreland and Mr.
M. M. Welch, arrived on the Northeast
ern train.
Ilia father, Rev. Dr. McDonald was
not in Atlanta and the telegram did not
reach him. He will probably arrive to
day.
Immediately after the Northeastern
arrived Mrs. McDonald was driven to
the Commercial hotel, and has been,
ever since, in constant attendance at
the bedside of her son.
THE CONSULTATION.
Soon after the arrival of Dr. West
moreland he held a consultation with
l>rs. It. n -diet and Goss, who had been
called in to attend Mr. McDonald the
night before.
The result of the consultation was
that all three of these eminent surgeons
came to tLe same conclusion, and that
conclusion was that Mr. McDonald hud
a lighting chance for his life.
Indeed, they considered the symp
toms to be very favorable, under the
circumstances, and spoke very encour
agingly of the case.
Dr. Westmoreland on leaving yester
day afternoon expressed it as his opinion
tlint Mr. McDonald would pul': through,
being of a very strong constitution. •
llo added, however, that there was
pneumonia, lieinorrhuge, and abscess to
fear.
Everything is being done to lessen the
sulh-ilngs of the wounded young man,
and lie is under the care of that gentlest
of nurses, iiis mother.
I> s. Benedict and Goss ate with him
constantly, ar.d will remain so until the
danger line is passed. >
The verdict of the physicians is that
there is no immediate danger, but that
timu will tell the progress of the wound.
LATKIt.
At two o’clock Mr. McDonald was
resting easily and the symptoms were
still favorable to his recovery.

On Thursday night Mr. and Mrs. A.
Hull entertained the Ladies Literary

sium. Do you know what a puzzle
tnposium is? Perhaps not, for it is
the very latest and most novel wrinkle
the rim of symposiums. Ton
givt n puzzles of every
scription, and are expected to woi k
them. The one that woi ks the most
comes out the victor at the symposium.
Here is one of the puzzles:
Wood
John
Bay-state.
Would you ever fancy that a letter
ith these three words would go to
John Under-wood, Aud-over Massa
chusetts?”
Thousands of similar nuzzles help to
make the evening fly away most delight
fully. Mr. and Mrs. Hull are to be con
gratulated for having hit upon the hap
py idea.
Their entertainment was very much
enjoyed.
The Chi Phi picnic today will be very
much enjoyed.
THEY WILL GO TO OXFORD.
It Has Bean Decided, and the College
Team Will Make It W&rm for the
Emory Boys.
The facility have given their consent
for the college boys to go to Oxford and
play the Emory team a game of ball,
Slay Kith.
And a tight game it will be.
The Oxford boys have a strong team
end a good reputation; 90have the Uni
versity hoys, and when Greek meets
Greek, then comes the tug of war.
Four years ago the two college teams
met ou half way ground at Union
Point, and ever since that game the
Oxford boya hsve been biding their time
to retrieve the poor record made by
their former fellow students. This they
are confident they can do, as is seeu
from the challenge which they have
sent to the U uiversity baseball team
and which bas been accepted.
With such a team as will be picked
from the University players, nothing
short of the best amateur playing can
contend; and the University boys art-
just as eager to maintain the record of
four years ago, as the Emory boys are
to break it. The score of that game
was Athens 12, Oxford 1; snd under
the disadvantage of being on the oppo
nent’s grounds the boys will have to
play good ball^to keep up that record.
Bat according the terms of the challenge
Athens will hsve two licks at them.
When this game has been played, the
Oxford boys are bound by agreement
$0 play the University two games on
Athens ground as soon as finals are
nver. v
Much interest is being taken in the
proepcct of the game, and one or two of
the professors have expressed their in
tention of being spectators on the
ti«n.
£ access to the University boys.
TWO SERMONS
THAT WILL BE PREACHED IN ATH
ENS TOMORROW.
A CORDIAL INVITATION.
Every Man and Woman In Athens
Should Attend—At the Opera
House and First Method-
let Church.
There will be two great meeting*
Athens tomorrow afternoon.
One will be at the opera house at
four o’clock, for men only.
And the other will he at the First
Methodist church, and the good ladies
»f the city will be the congregation.
At four o’clock tomorrow afternoon,
Rev. Dr. W. M. Leftwich, who has been
conducting such great set vices at the
First Methodist church during the
week, will speak to men only at the
opera house. "»
His sermon will he full of interest and
vigor, aud he will have something of
interest to say to each and every one
present.
His talk will be addressed to the heart
ind conscience of the male citizens of
this place, and it cannot fail to be en
tertaining and beneficial.
Every man in Athens is expected to
be present.
Whether they come from Millege av
enue or East Athens, from bench and
workshop, or bank and counting room,
it is expected and wished that all will
come.
The invitation is a broad and general
one.
Chancellor Boggs, of the University
of Georgia, will merge his Sunday af
ternoon meeting into this gathering,
and the young men will be in attend
ance.
It is desired that all will come, wheth
er they be in or out of the church,Chris
tian or sinner.
Dr. Leftwich has something be wishes
to say to them, and those who know his
ability and sincerity in the ministenc!
capacity, can assure those who have
not heard him of a rare treat in a spirit
ual way.
The opera house will doubtless be
crowded to its utmost capacity, and up.
on the beads of each and all will 110
doubt fall a divine aud lasting blessing.
THE LADIES MEETING.
At the same hour the ladies of the
city will have a meeting, and will pack
the Fiist Methodist church to its ut
most seating capacity.
The meeting for ladies will be con
ducted by Rev. T. R. Kendall, who will
preach to them in his own earnest and
convincing manner. The good ladies
of the city will mingle their prayers
to God to prosper the meeting at the
opera bouse, and cause great good to
come to thoir relatives there assembled.
These meetings will be of great in
terest and benefit to the community.
MINOR ITEMS.
Commencement is near.
The dust is beginning to be unbear
tble.
READY FOR FIELD DAY.
The Spring Meeting of College Ath
letes Promises to be a Success.
All the enthusiasm of base ball has in
no way detracted from the interest an
Dually manifested in field day sports.
Almost any day on the campus the en
tire program might be seen, as the stu
dents are actively engaged in training
for the occasion.. They have r. reputa
tion as well as records to maintain, aud
they intend to do it.
Many of the boys now in college have
records from last year’s meeting, and
records which compare most favorably
with those of athletes of wide reputa
tion. And those records will be made
again on Monday, May the llth! Thus
the contests will all be quite, spirited,
and the offorts of many a yet-to-be-
tried athlete will be keenly tested
The interest in the games runs high,
especially on account of the prize
off. red. The merchants of the
town have shown the customary feeling
in regard to the field day and nearly all
of them have generously contributed
prizes well worth striving for. The
prizes tnis year are numerous and hand
some, and each college boy is at liberty
to contest for them all.
One of the mo3t interesting features
of the day, and one calculated to drive
any crowd wild with enthuaiasm. Is the
gome of ball between the Sophomore
and Freshman teams. As the league
games now stand these two teams are
neck and neck for the championship,
each having won two games, and tied
on the g«me between themselves. Tuis
game will, therefore, be final, and will,
settle the championship for good.
There are are some fine St. Bernard
dogs in Athens.
Mr. James 3. Hamilton will return

Cotton is still coming in.
And now the cotton men are almost
as busy as they were in the midst of the
iason.
It is a remarkably late ending for f e
season and the reason of this rush-at
this time is due to several causes.
The season has been a remarkable one
in more ways than one, ai d mie that
will long be remembered by both buy
ers and sellers of the fleecy staple.
The market now has reached a point
here to sell means absolute loss, if th<
cotton haa been held for any length o'
time, and yet the majority of planter
are so situated that to sell is a necessity
ts the stippliesfor the coming year inn t
be bought and those used in the yi-e
just passed must lie paid for.
That being the case cotton which ha*
been held so4oug for bettor prices is nov
coming into the market with a rush.
about the season
The season which ha« just passed ha
been one that hasshowL up Athens to 11
great advantage and proved that hei
merchants are wide awake ami her cm
ton buyers equal to the work they hav*
to do.
The receipts last year were abou 1
30.000 bales and this year will foot up
least 100,000 an increase of at lea-
10,000 bales. This is very noticeahl
lieu it is considered that the in ijoru-.
of this cotton comes into Athens in wsg
ons and every load represent a trader.
As the years go by Athens’ reputa
tion spreads and goes abroad in the
land and when the sensible aud practi
cal farmers decide that it is a good town
in which to trade that may safely be
lift down as a fact, which no envy or
ealousy can shake.
Atneiis’ merchants are al ways sp> end
ing out their trade and this is exempli
fied in the cottou trade more than in
anything else.

What John Inman Is Said to Have
Said About the Lease.
Mr. John H. Inman denies over his
own signature the rumor that it is the
purpose of the Richmond Termina
Company to abandon their terminal
property at West Point, Va. He says
that the company never had any idea of
abandoning it. He looks upon tbe place
as having excellent advantages, and
looks as if it would become a manufac
turing center. Instead of abandoning
it the Terminal company, Mr. Inman
says, purpose to assist in every possible
way in making the most of its natural
advantages.
It is a so understood that Mr. Inman
is authority for the statement that tbe
lease of the Georgia Central to the
Georgia Pacific is virtually completed.
And it is expected that the East Ten
nessee. Virginia and Georgia will be
leased in the the same manner that
the Georgia Central has bei n. The pi
pose of the lessees is said to be to reduce
operating expenses. The earnings of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia are, according to the road’s reports,
steadily increasing. Tbe net earnings
for February, for ibstance, were about
15,000 greater than those for the pr-vi
ous February.
If the lease of the Georgia Central to
'he Georgia Pacific has been completed,
the fa; t is kept very quiet by tbe Ter
minal people. None of the details of
the lease have yet been given to the
public. But that they will be in the
very near future there is everv reason
to believe. It may be that all the de
tails of tbe contract have not yet been
arranged. Tbe impression in railroad
circles seems to be that the lease will be
a good thing for tbe stockholders of tl.e
Centra), since it provides for a 7 per
cent, dividend on tbe Central’s stock,
and if to run for ninety-nine years. *

New York, May 8.—Futures opened
at one to two points advance, closing
barely steady at four to six points de
cline. It became evident that, except in
limited areas,*the frosts did no damage
to cotton plants, and the warmer weather
eported lias dispelled all fears on tbe
frost account. Therefore, the slight ad
vance iu response to the stronger reports
from Liverpool and Manchester was fol
lowed by much pressure to.sell, under
which prices from the highest figures
receded six to eight points. The market
then became steadier on the report that
the a< reage planted in Georgia tor tbe
next crop is 10 per cent, smaller than
ast season.
