RAILROAD RUMBLINGS
A SPLENDID CONNECTION FROM
ATHENS TO THE SEA.
TO NEW YORK BY THE OCEAN
On to Oxford!
N-,w get ready boys!
Every body is going to get on the
excution traiu to Oxford next Satur
day, and aside from a hundred and
Ally merry college boys there will lie a
hundred or more people from the town.
The excitement is Increasing every
day over the coming game of ball be
tween Emory and the University, and
St is the talk of the town. Not only
that, but it is becoming the talk bf the
entire state. Wnat fascination and
charm, what a thrill of excitement ml
ways goes with an intercollegiate base
ball game!
No Auer sport is ever seen on the
diamond hi Id than is to be found when
the teams of two rival college get to
gether and cross bats. Especially wiH
there be exciting times when the Uni
versity aud Emory college meet each
other.
A SPECIAL TRAIN.
The chancellor is very touch inter
ested in the coming game.
He hue written to General Manager
Greeu of the Georgia railroad and the
£ eiieral manager of the Covington and
I aeon asking if there cannot be a sp» -
cial excursion train sent out for the use
of the students and citizens that day, to
go from Athens to Oxford.
Tito scho lull! will be a convenient our
if the special train i* secured, and there
is no reason to believe that it will no'
be secured. The train will lea\e Alh
ens early Saturday morning and will
Mach Oxford at noon. The game will
be played in the afternx»n, aud the Ath-
ens parir will return before bedtime
S nurd y nigh'.
There ..ill bo about one hundred and
fifty college boys to go over from the
University uud they will be accompa
nied by a large crowd of citizens, ladies
aud children. A large party of young
la-lies is being organized to go over,
and it promises to be a great game and
a general picnic, too.
The train will be dyked out In th--
Univeroky’s colors; and' the boys will
wear ihe colors in flashy streamers on
their coals. 8<> will the girls who join
the excursion.
SMOKY'S I1K3AT TEAM.
Emory bus a good team.
* It will be remembered that every
time the Univi rsily boys have crossed
bats with Kniory, the Emories have
been downed most Disgracefully.
The last game was played at Union
Point, and tlie University boys whipped
ttii- Oxford hoys to the tune of 12 to 1,
without halt trying.
But it won’t happen again, so easily.
Ktoory, they say, has a splendid nine
tins year, ami the University boys must
“play mighty g oj ball,” if they want
to b-at them.
More than this, the Emory fellows
have been practicing on the diamond
ev.-r since Christmas while the ’’picked
nine of the University has never yet
played a single game together, owing
to sickness among the men.
It was Emory that has given the
challenge, and the boys over there
seem to beo rntident of success.
But ‘‘Little tlerty” will ‘’see them
one.”
Won’t you Herty ?

About the O, C. A N.
Athena will have first rate connections
with the sea when the Centiml takes
entire charge of the Covington and Ha
con and operate* that totd in direct
connection as a through line to the Sa
vannah steamship schedules.
And this is just what is promised too
by those who are in a position to know
about the attain of the Central, and the
Richmond ft Danville. It will be re
membered that the Richmond A Dan
ville made every effort to secure the
Covington and Macon with a view to
making it a connecting lice by Athens
from the northeast to the south.
Soon after the road was gobbled by
the Richmond A Danville it turned up
that the Central was leased by that com
pany a a .
And naturally enough the central
secured the operation of the Covington
and Macon very shortly after it was
leased to the Richmond and Dmville.
What does all this mean if it doesn't
mean that the Richmond A Danville is
after nothing less than a splendid

Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus.
Gen. Alexander is in New York, it is
understood, to arrange a consummation
of the deal.
The new line, it is understood, will be
h part of the S ivannah and Western
system. A proposition was submitted
to the stockholders of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus last week for the
l.urehaie of the prosperity, to indorse
1224,000 first mortgage 5 per cent, bonds

After the opening service, the con

Wm. C. Hunter, of Orangeburg, presi
dent of the standing committee. After
the calling of the convention to order,
the president and secretary will be elec

ppointed.
And Athens has sent down as dele
gates to the convention. Rev. J. C.
Davis, Hon. Pope Barrow, l>r. H. C.
White, and ProJ. C. P. Wilcox. This
delegation will be one of the strongest
in the convention and will have weight
uud influence in its counsels.
THE ELECTION.
The most important matter that will
come before the convention, the election
f a bishop, will probably be made a
standing order ehrly in the session. In
the election of a bishop, after nomina
tions have been mnde, ti e secretary
culls the roll of the c.ergv who deposit
their ballots with the tellers. The name
f the nominee receiving the majority
is then handed down to the laity, who
vote in a similar manner, each parish
i-eing entitled to one vote. If the laity
concur with the clergy the election is
made unanimous, and the testimonials
of the bishop-elect are then signed, if
they fail to concur or select some other
perron, the name is handed to the clergy
who vote upon it in the same manner as
before. The voting is continued until
a majority of both orders vote for the
WHO will rr 118.
The position of bishop is one which
calls for a man in the truest and best
sense of the word, no oue who cannot
be looked up to aud honored would fill
the place acceptably, no one who is not
acceptable to • lie chnruh all over the
Uditcd States of Auaericn, as well as in
Georgia, could fill the place if he would.
It is an honorable and great position,
and Georgia has given some of the
greatest and best of men to the world as
bishops. Whoever may be the eboice
iThM "tall "SETS I of the convention will have a place to
thirty-five m 'lTs of I 1111 which ^ hard and

The road is pushing its way right
along to Athens as fast as human hands

one which with its many rewards will
be more than grutifying.
The three names that will probably be
brought before the convention are tuose
of Bishop Wingfield, of northern Cali
fornia; Rev. Cbaucey C. Williams, of
Augusta, and Rev. Mr. Gailor, of the
University of South, Sewanee, Tenn.
Each one of these g ntlemen is Well
known throughout Georgia and' all
knowii favorably.
Yesterday in conversation with a
prominent Episcopalion, a Banner re

Dr. Glover is in jail again.
And is trying to play the insanity
dodge.
So the news comes from Carnesville,
the county seat of Franklin county,
where tLe genial doctor is confined.
The Banner readers will renumber
that some days ago Dr. Glover escaped
from jail, shoeing that he had a pretty
good bead on bis shoulders.
It took shrewd work to plan the es-
cape and carry it out but the doctor was
equal to the emergency and skipped.
He was recaptured, however, in a few
days, and once more placed in jail.
Immediately after his second incar
ceration a change, quick and percepti
ble took place in his behaviour.
His -harp and steady eys commenced
to roll in a queer way; his still tongue
commenced to way at both ends aud to
wag in a funny manner. He told
jokes, danced and sang snatches of
song.
To all api>earance8 he was insane.
And m all appearance is yet.
But the people in Carnesville believe
him sound in mind and propose to let
che trial go on and have justice done.
In spite of his antics the doctor will
jrobably stand his trial aud probably
le convicted as well.
Clabkk Always in the Lead.—
Speaking of the work of the World’s
Fair Convention the Atlanta Journal
says: Clarke county, always at the

If you decide, from what you have
beard or read, that you will take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy
any substitute instead.
It is with the greatest gratification
that the Banner calls notioe to the new
schedule of the Northeastern. The
passenger schedule that was run on that
road until lately was a shameful slam
on Athens, for the train left this city at
5 o’clock in the morning and returned
at <2 at night.
The improvement consists in leaving
at 8:30 and returning at 11:10. The
full schedule as changed may be found I Dunn'“coIo?

present and assist in the laying on of
hands. All of this takes time, and it

early in the fall before the new bishop
will be at his post ready tor work.

natural to suppose that he receives more

It can only be conjectured as to wbat

not granting any such requests yet
awhile.

rushed with customers securing the bar
gains they are offering this week. These

goods. Always do what you advertise
never disappoint your customer.
We notice with pleasure the growth
of this bouse and the confidence they
enjoy with the general public.

Not a Very BaB Ego.—The Ban
ner’s museum (all newspapers have
museums) bas received its latest curios
ity in the shape of a queer hen’s egg.
The egg is a double one, which means
that it has two ovals linked together.
One of the ovals contains the white and
the other the yellow of tbe egg which
both of them are supposed to form.
The shell is perfectly soft but tenacious,
it being more of a leather binding than
a shell. This curiosity comes from the
phenomenal store of J. S. King ft Co
Hr. Jim King the genial -member of the
arm who compliments the Banner
with this queer egg, found the concern
in one of his hen’s nests.
Dr. Whits Talks.—<Ed Barrett of

•• I he board appointed to organize the ne
gro agricultural college meets in Savan
nah this week,” said he, “and on Satur
day we expect to start the school in op
rration. Then the board will comniu
nicate, through the governor, wrh Se
letary Noble about tne oongres-i nal ap
propriation for Georgia. Ti rtyone

We shall first request that tbe money b
divided between the rae- s as provide-
in the state bill accepting the money-
that is, two-thirds to the white college
and a third to the negro college. Should
Mr. Noble decline to allow such a div's*

request that he all«w us to take tb-
money as other states have done, aud
we will agree that the negro colleg'
shall have oat of it all needed for tlx
expenses of the college. That is abso
lutely fair, and unless the sec: etary of
the interior reverses his previous deciR-
I cannot sti how he can reject tie

My mind at this moment U full of recol
lections of experience connected with my
arly life in Buffalo. Some of these ex
periences were rugged, but they were
walthful aud unpear to me now robbed of
everything save tbe features that make
them welcome memories. I recall, too,
hosts of good friends. I have never for
gotten the assurance I gave, in the presence
of thousands of my Buffalo friends, during
the presidential campaign of 1684, to the
effect that whatever the future might have
in store for me, 1 should endeavor so to
perform my duty as to merit their approv
al nud friendship. As I visit these mends
again, self-examination brings to me no
reproaches. I know tha‘. I have done no
violence to the sentiments and resolutions
which, when I lived among you, received
vour approval and endorsement. I feel
that I can but feebly express my apprecia
tion of the courtesy of this occasion,
because language is weak. You must
know how I have enjoyed the kindly meet
ings of my old friends, and 1 hope Ineed
not tell yon how it delights me to witness
the growth and increased beauty of my old
home.
I assure you that, from the fullness of a
peatful heart, I wish for tbe city of Bufla-
i boundless prosperity and advancement,
and for the people of Buffalo heaven’s
choicest blessings and happiness and con
tentment, which find their abiding place
in generous and unselfish hearts.
