Except When Complaining of Being Miserable.
—
SDCH HAS OFTEN BEEN PROVEN TO ME, WHEN THEY MADE THEIK PORCHASES ELSEWHERE!
Why do people want to
complain and regret their
purchases at other stores,
when so often 1 have con
vinced them of the great
savings they can make at
my place ?
It is useless and only
waste ot words to come to
my store and say so often,
as they have said: Oh, 1 am
so sorry I did not go to
Max Joseph’s
before I bought such and
such What a great dif
ference in price, but I was
persuaded to do so and so
and they would not let me
go. . :
I say don't be persuaded
and regret afterwards, but
come direct to headquar

THE COLLEGE MUSEUM*
AN HOUR SPENT WITH WONDROUS
REUC8.
MANY QUAINT OLD RELICS.
What a Reporter finds In the Univer
sity’s Museum—Wars. Heroes,
Dead Cities and Distant Lands
Rise up Before One’s Eyes.
Were yon ever in the college nauseam?
Nine tenths of the jxople of Athens it
indeed, not ninety-nine one hundredths,
of them will answer the qntstion in the
negative.
It is an unfrequented place.
Perhaps there are many In Alhtns and
all over Georgia who don’t even know
that the college has a museum.
But a Bashes reporter paid it a visit
yesterday. Ills away up in the third
story of the library building, and is seldom
open to the scrutinizing gaze of a newspa
per r«porter; tor it is held too saertd by
the authorities to be intruded upon by our
dirt nattd tribe.
There are many cations, things stored
sway in tbs museum—things which are
odd enough in their quaint appearance
and mysterious history. They are all en-
c*.sel in glass abowctses and have been
th tie so long that they have absorbed the
dust of many a year..
Ti.e first thing that attracted the eye of
the reporter were the familiar ban and
stars of the confederate war flag. Vv bat
a shrill or psiriouam clusters aionnd that
veuetable old flag even to those who nev
er s. w ,t riv and fall.
How eagerly did the reporter unfurl Us
ample folds to study on tit tit tried and
torn lace its hist >ry through many a (ag
ing batik storm, scanning the sm< ky stains
and ragged bullet holes that paraded ibem-
selvrs route witnesses brlore him! It aas
the flag of the late Dr. P. H. MtU’s regr-
mtnt, who was a professor in the college
at i he time the war began.
We folded it tenderly back to its resting
pise.* with caressing regret, for there was
(nmething in Us touch that made us n-luc-
un to lay itdowu. I*, is made of common
cashmere with its different emblematic
i olore.
A WAR CLUB
The next thing we examined wls a war
club bronchi from the Sandwich Islands
by a missionary many years ago and given
to the college. It was made of ebony and
was beantilnlly carved.
We then studied the history of an idol
that was onee worshipped by heathen. It
is a beautifully carved curiosity resem
bling some kind of sea fish. It was found
on board the ‘'Wanderer,” which was the
last vessel that brought negroes to Ameri
ca, and was once owned by BeDj. Butler.
The vessel was sank daring the war at
J> kyl’s Island.
Then there was a Sandwich Island pad
dle, beautifully carved of ebony and very
qurint in its appearance. Its history is
unknown.
A negro idol of Yonba, Central Africa,
attracted our gaze and we looked Inrtber
into ita mysterious history. It was carved
trom an elephant’s tooth and was beauti
fully polrshtd Its worshipper was con
verted by R. v. T. J. Bower, and presented
him with this his former god. Rev. Mr.
Bower brought it to America with him
and gave it to the college.
There was a cloth o! delicate colors that
was an odd piece of goods we thought,
and we saw from a glance that it was fot-
• ign to tire styles of this snmmei’a cos
tumes. Unfolding i', we found that it
was a real nice piece of doth, of floe fab
ric and pretty colon. There was a swtet
"dor about it that spoke volumes of its his
tory, for it was txtremeiy peculiar aud
fragrant. We ascertained that long yean
ago, s missionary had brought it from the
desolate sands of Central Africa. It
from the loom of a native of Yonba, and
waa at one tune the property ot a princess
over there, daughter of ib' Kiugof Youba.
St e grew to love the missionary, and on
bis departure for America presented him.
with this, a pottion of her richest gown
that he might think of ber over here in
tbi< bnaj, ruthless world ef onrs. Tnere
is something touching in its history—pa
thetically touching, for it only tells one
brief interval of what, perhaps, was a noble
woman's romantic lif-. It was presented
to tb* museum by Rev. T. B. Cooper, or
Ogeechee, Ga., in whose possession it had
lalk n. :
Perhaps one of the most p!< asing sights
touswas aB djsqkefawordress. Often
have we seen pictures or the will bands o
American Indians on the war path in gor
geousiy painted costumes, and a si udder
thrilled us t» g«zj ou lue wild-eyed chief
as lie led bis death dealing followers in
trank of our own wh.te race. But never !
bad we fr.-eh a real leather s rit with paint
ed stripes nil around the arms, and frilled
rfliues down the legs Tue whole oj fl*
was there from the feathers in the bead to
the moccasins on the leet, and we fancied
that we had a great old chief of the red
men captive at our feet. The history—
alas, it speaks for itself. Where are the
red men lc-day? ‘Gone r.limmeiu.g
through the dreams that were.”
There was a quei-r old volume bound in
cowhide stored away in the dust which
we next examined, it was a Siamese Copy
of the Old Testament, and was odd in ns
every t store.
Another volnme which lo ked aged,
was found to be a book containing the
alterations proposed by different states to
the o ogress in 1787. It was a valuable
old treasure, and matks an eia, the most
important Ibe world has yet known—the
tut of American Uberty, and of the CO -
stitution of our ta'hcra.
Tb-re is mucb to be gained from a vis t
lo tue college must-uin It is a brief
school of history, ot biography and of
gtnerel information. ~ - Many olu relics of
war, of h' roes, of nations and of dead
cities and principalities are there, all of
which with silent lips tell tales of what
has been.

Z .ck Farmer haa been caught.
He eln fed the officers at Jefferson,
but was brought to bay by the marshal
of L&wrenceville yesterday.
The people will remember the
account given in the Bannbb of the
murder of young Drake over in Jackson
county a few days since.
He* bad been to a neighbor’s to a sing
ing and was returning home when he
was shot twice by some one hid-in the
bashes. His body was found the next
morning and suspicion rested upon
certain white man of the community
A coroner’s jury was empanelled and
after bearing the evidence returned
verdict that Drake came to his death
from the effects of two gunshot wounds,
and that the party inflicting the wounds
was Alexander Farmer.
Fat mer was arrested and the officers
started to Jefferson with him to put
him in jail.
He was allowed to stop by his home
to change his clothes and here be
cape I from the officers who have been
cearebing for him ever since.
Chief Oliver sent out a description of
Farmer, and yesterday be received this
telegram:
- Lawrenceville,Ga.,
May 16,1S91.
Chief of Police, Athens, Gs.—I have
arrested a man today for Alexander
Farmer for murder. He gives bis name
SB Elibs Snider. Is he wanted? An
swer. W. H.Bobihsok
Marshal.
^It is not known whether this man is
Farmer or not, but it is believed that
Farmer is simply denying his name in
order to escape arrest.
He was beading in the direction of
Lawrenceville when last heard from,
and this may be the man.
At least Marshal Robinson will be di
rected to bold him until further devel
opments. Meanwhile the officers will
keep their eves open. If Farmer is
.caught, be will be brought back to Jef-
come by Hood's Sartapanlla, which givts
a teelingof buoyancy and strength 10 the
whole tystem.
The Lexington Blue Granite Com
pany to Furnish the Stone—M.
B. McGlnty will do the work—
A Beautiful and Imposing
Structure.
Now for the work.
The Athens Sayings Bank will soon
be in its new home.
The new building, as tbe people
know, will be erected oil Broad street
between the National Bank aud the
Bank ot tbe University.
The pl>ns for the building were
drawn by (Japt. James McCulloch, and
those who have t-een them say that the
Sa>i .gs Back buiidiig wilt be the
haudsomest in town
Capt. MtCti loch has taken a great
deal of pains in drawing tbe plans, and
tbe result will be that a handsome
building will soon be erected on Broad
street.
The contract for the building has been
let. Mr. M. B. McGinty will do the
work, and will make it an especial ob
ject to render the work most satisfacto
ry and complete.
Yesterday the board of directors if
the Savings Bank awarded the contract
for furnishing stone to The Lexington
Blue Granite Company, of Lexington,
Ga.
This is a stock company which is
working th gr. nite quarries of Ogle
thorpe county near Io-xiogton, and the
quality of the granite is excellent.
It is now being used in many of the
new public buildings being erected in
tbe stare.
It sustains a beautiful polish, and is
superior in every respect.
The granite quarries of Lexington
are destined to be great industries in
tbe near future, and tbe Savings Bank
official' knew w here to go to get ex*
ceilent granite at cheaper prices than
anywhere else.
When completed, and that will be
withiu ninety days, the lower flour will
be occupied at once by the bank, jind
that institution will go into business in
real earnest. It. is already one of the
best institntioi s in Athens; and has paid
handsome dividends from its very start.
In the hands of an excellent set of of
ficers, it is destioed to be one of the most
powerful banks in Athens.
Mr. George A. Mell will be tbe ef
ficient cashier of the bank. Tbe second
story will be occupied by the Athens’
Electric Light company as an office.

It h.tsbeen truly said that although
women uaay have produced no work of
surprising power; have written no
“Iliad,” no “Hamlet,” no “Paradise
Lost;” have designed no Church of St.
Peter’s, composed no “Messiah;” al
though th»y have invented neither tele
scopes nor steam engines, they have
done something greater and better than
all this. It. is at their knees that vir
tuous men and women have been train
ed—the met excellent productions in
the world. It was the gentle patient
schooling of Monica which turned Au
gustine from a pr< fligate to a saint. It
was the memory of a mother’s lessons
which changed John Newton from a
blasphemous sailor to an earnest mb li
ter of God. it was a mother’s influence
which made George Washington a man
of such truth, such nobleness and such
power, that be swayed the people of
America as one man.
tThat tired feeling” is entirely over- ferson and lodged in jail there to await
a trial before the next Superior court of
Jackson county, which meets in Au
gust next.
