NO SUNDAY SHOW.
There should be do Sunday show
at the World’s Fair. Good people
all over this good laid of ours must
agree on this point. The matter is
under pretty lively discussion, and
strange as it may at first seem, there
arc many newspapers in America
whose editoral pages fairly glow with
redjhot denunciations of those who
have expaessed a desire to see the
exposition closed on Sundays.'
Under aa editorial headed “Well
Mant, but Ridiculous’’ the Chicago
Herald goes on to discuss the matter
after the following fashion:
‘ A telegram to the Herald from
Bloom iogton states that a gathering
presided over by a former justice of
the Supreme Court of liiiuois adopt
ed resolutions “that the people of
Bloomington, in mass meeting as
sembled, hereby record their solemn
conviction of a coming calam ty to
the Slate, founded on tho apprehen
sion of the public ciind and tue pop
ular and judicial verdict of the ages,
if the World’s Fair is opened in Chi
cago on Sunday, and also ol the su-
p erne duty ot-the legislature not to
adjourn without providing the re
quisite legal guarantee that the fair
snail be closed that day.”
Inasmuch as a little church in
Bloomington cannot hold any great
number of people, it was sheer vani
ty that led this meeting to call itself
a mass meeting of the people of that
city. Only idiots or fanatics can
have* 1 a conviction of coming calam
ity to the Stale” because of anything
to be done by a portion of its people,
for such a conviction implies that a
just deity will punish an entire Stale
lor a supposititious impropriety by
of them. ' The popular and judicial
verdict of the ages” is that every
thing that promotes rest, elevation
of the mind and true spirituality
ought to be sought on Suuday.
Tuose departments ot the lair will be
opened on Sunday that wiil promote
these ends. The legislature has
many duties to perform, but one of
them is not to bother its perplexed
head about Sunday and the fair.
Nobody proposes that manual labor
shall be done in the fair Sundays
or that any one connected with it
shall toil withhead or hand more than
six days in the week. TLe Art In
stitute of Chicago, its lecture rooms,
its reading rooms, are open. So will
be the fair departments of like na
ture.
Laying aside all ' convictions of
coming calamities to the country
etc,” the Banner desires only to be
beard among those who oppose the
opening the World’s Fair on Sun
days for the very simple reason that
God’s I^>ly Sabbath should have
more respect from Americans than
to be made a day of sight seeing, a
day of merriment and mirth, a day
that must call out policemen to pro
tect moral laws, in. the violation of
spiritual and Christian laws.
It is wroDg that, people should go
to.horse races on Sunday. It is wrong
for a bull fight to distract the minds
* of men on the Sabbath. It‘is a day
for grave reflections, for serious
thoughts. It is a holy day.
Let giddy Paris have her Sunday
frolics. Let Havana have her Son
day bull-fights. But let it be said
of this fair land: “Here is apeopl*
who love God better than earthly
frivolities; a people whose battles
have always been for right agalast
wrong; a people who have bnlltjip
the strongest nationality on earth
because they have labored neath the
approving smile of God Almighty.’
Let there be no Sunday show at
, Chicago.
Waters, entitled “Hymn Dowdy’s
Cotton Patch.” . .
It is one of Mr. Water's best short
stories, and this is saying a very
great deal, for as every reader of the
Banker will at once acknowledge.
Mr. Waters is well known in Ath
ens. He is an old University boy,
having entered the Junior Class of
’88 and graduated with high honor
in one year, carrying along with
splendid success not only the studies
of a B. S. coarse, bat all the studies
of the Junior Class as well, this be-
iog required to get a diploma.
Since hi& graduation Mr. Waters
has been on the stall of the Atlanta
ConstitatioD. He is a vigorous
active newspaper man, and is more
over one ot the best story writers in
the South. His style is peculiarly
Southern and possesses all of that
smoothness and interest that the
writings of leading Southern authors
carry with them.
Mr. Waters short stories- will
hereafter be a special feature of the
Suuday and Weekly Banker.

of the state, and made hi* first ap
pearanoein Athens Wednesday even
ing. Nothing could have suited the
students of the State University
better, snd they were on hand when
the oartains went op, well loaded
ilh bad eggs, potatoes and cab
bages. The first set hss not been
completed yet, as Scotty is too bash
ful a youth to stand before the im*
tnense audience which greeted his
appearance snd receive the encore
showered upon him. He was booked
for only one night in Athens, and
now fe«U bad because it was not can

“Angel or Devil” is the name of a
book that professes to show what
the world thinks of womea. It de
pends very much upon the woman,
after all, it seems to us. Woman
cannot be discussed in the abstrac'.
There are some women who can wear
John L Scllivan out with the bald
headed end of a broom. They are
(if not devils themselves) in copart
nership with the devil. Again, there
aie women whose every look deed
and utterance are heavenly. They
are angels. There are very many of
the latter class in Athens. Very-
many.
MY, HOW SHE CROWS-
Good gracious how Athens does
grow! Did you ever stop to think
how tne old city is moving to pros
perity these warm spring days?
One cannot form a fair conception
of the real growth of Athens by liv
ing quietly in their stores or at home,
pursuing day after day the monoto
nous routiue of business or domestic
life Just drop your work one day
or aHernoon and follow the
merry echo of the saw and hammer
out on the suburbs no matter in
what direction you go.
There you will find houses going
up one after another and dozens at a
time. Stroll around to the old fair
grounds and observe the transpfor*
mation. Electric wires and steel
rails have traversed the old field
( with a mark of prosperity never be
fore dreamed of. Negro cabins are
giving way to handsome and elegant
residences. And thus it goes all
around Athens.
Boom? No.
Prcgress? Yes.
No nobler company of women ever
bnaded themselves together than
those who conduct the Woman’s
Industrial Home of Athens.- If the
world bad more such men and wo>
men no Burns would ever feel called
upon to say,
“And man, whose heaveu irteted face,
The smiles of love adorn,
llaa’s inhuwanity.to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn.
The unveiling of Henry Gradt’s
monument in A lanta will be one of
the greatest events of the year. The
love once felt all over Georgia -dor
Henry W. Oram is an abiding love.
It li\es and grows.
The world is full of people who enjoy
seeing a tin pan li*.d to 'he tail of -nme
other man’s dog.—The Ram’s Horn.
Lore cannot lie, of* course, but hu
man experience shows that it can some
times get transferred to another object.

“But is he brave—has he personal
courace?” '-Well, I shoul.l say so He
wouldn’t be afraid to umpire a game of
bail between amateur nines.”—Phila
delphia Times.
The Lowell Courier says that the
Massachusetts election of a bishop "is a
fine illustration of the natural law that
brooks ultimately find their way to
the see.”
Paoa: Well, Jack what book have
you found most valuable this year?

truth, father, I lost on every book I
made.—Munsey’s Weekly.

for 40 years, oughc to kDow salt from

Toledo, O., Jan. 10,1887.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.— Gentl -

confidence of success as I can Hallv

PROMINENT PEOPLE.
A Common Sense Opinion.
The newspaper without any advertise
ments, which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
wants to see, might suit the tastes of
some people, but it would be without a
very interesting feature. The idea that
the advertisements in a newspaper only
please the counting room unfortunately
obtains in some quarters, but to the
great mam of the people they are not
only interesting but useful and in
structive reading. They are the shop
pers* constant companion, the business
man’s guide and everybody’s instructor.
A newspaper without advertising col
umns would fail to accomplish its mis
sion. Besides, it would be about as poor
as Job’s turkey.—Boston Herald.

The brilliant and burnt rous editor
of the Warrenton Clipper says: I!
our legislature at its next session
winhes to immortalize itself, aod let
its praises go sounding down
through tbe “long drawn aisles and
fretted vaults” of all futurity, it will
certainly puss some effictive dog
law. As a rule, the more worthless
and less able to care for a dog the
owner is, the more worthless hounds
and curs they have, .Scarcely a
negro family in tbe county but has
from one to five. They are half
fed and cared for, and are very pro
ductive of a throat disease among
sheep and other property of y^lue.
We would not give a flock of 100
sheep lor eveij’ dog in the county.
They are producers of nothing nave
profanity, and annually consume
enough, together with what they de
stroy, to pay the state tax.
Then why dots one of our solons not
take it upon kimsetf as a duty im
posed by heaven, to prepare and put
through a dog law. We are sure the
jnasses of the people would favor
such an enactment. It always was a
strange thing to ns*why a set of men
selected (presumably) for tliejr
superior intelligence and sagacity
could pass 3 or 4 months every two,
■years hammering away at legislature
of to say the least, doubtful benifit,
and let such a glaring need' as a dog
law go unheeded. Some one is cer
tainly allowing a golden opportunity
for writing his name in letters of
gold, on the scroll of fame “pass by
on the dther side.” Awake! arise!
or be forever la'len.

No less than 516 original poems, it is
said, were sent to Von Moltke on tbe
occasion of his birthday celebration last
October. Thus the proverb, “Call no
man happy till he dies,” gaius a new
application.
President Balmaceda, of Chili, is a
stern and arbitrary man, with cold gray
eyes, thin' lips aud an angular chin.
He possesses more education and ability
than are usually found in a South Amer

finance, is still a young man, who haB
already made a reputation for extraor

Sometime ago the AmericnsTimes
Recorder came ont to the front w>th a
long and lond editorial enviously
accusing tbe Banner of doing that
city an injustice in saying Athens
led it in the matter of enterprise. It
called upon the Banner to name
over a few enterprises achieved with
in the put yiars by
the * classic city. The
Banner took a delight in pointing to
Athens electric street railway, paid
fire department, sewers, paved side
walks, paved streets, new trunk line
to the east, electric fire alarm, land
companies and countless other evi
dentes of progress, and challenged
the Timts-Recorder to ant;, that the
game might go on.

Makesvthe
Weak Strong
The narked benefit which people In run
down or weakened state ot health derive
from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, cehclnslvely proves
the claim that this medicine “ makes the weak
strong.” It does not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but In the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
.* Fagged Out
‘•Last spring I was completely fagged out
