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.

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 celled “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 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. MADDOMROS. PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO. Life-Size Plelnres Made to Order. 109 EAaT BROAD ST. 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.

Stanley hss delivered a lec ture in London since his return to Eng land. The audience was only fair in size and the cablegram states that the lecture was neither interesting nor amusing. 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 ican dictator. M. Bouvier, the French minister of finance, is still a young man, who haB already made a reputation for extraor dinary ability as a statesman and finan cier. He is regarded as one of tbe com ing men in France. MR- GLEN WATERS. In todays Banner is given a story contributed especially to the Sunday and Weekly Banner by Mr. Glen 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. Our esteeemed contemporary hasn’t' antied yet. Come, hooey, what’s tbe matter with Americas?' ' The Way to Attract. Advertisements should be attractive. First captivate tho eye. Tbe eye is the sentinel of the will. Captivate the sen tinel ' and yon captivate the will. The feet follow the eyes.

Some take rye, and some take beer—a drink’s a drink for a’that. What’s in a name, unless they are mixed, Mr. Cleveland is laying mighty low, but tbe people are doing a sight of watching, and Cleveland is doing a mighty sight of thinking. Mr. Harrison has gone home, at last, in time to put on his blazer and think where it is best to spend the summer. Here’s to the New Orleans grand jury? Send it South—not the grand jury South. No, no, the drink. Scott Thornton is mad because tbe joke is out on him that he paraded the tin roofs of neighboring buildings to avid a mob a mob of fun makers.

Come, Scotty, smile for the ladies ju:t once. Do. _ v Every dog will have bis day, but the dogs of Athens find no consolation io tbe adage. Their day seems a long time coming. 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 My strength left me and I felt sick aud mis erable all the time, so that I could hardly attend to my business. I took one bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it cured me. There Is nothing like it” B. C.
