A RUMOR DKNI' D.
Soon after Mr. Robinson had left
Athens it was rumored among railroad
men that he bad come to look into the
advisability of buying tbe Covington A
Maoon as s Southern outlet, it being
known that this road will be aold
by the receiver on the 24th of tbis
month. Tbis rumor carried with it a
little sensation, but the eensstion is ex
ploded.
When General Hoke was seen last
night by a Bamkkr reporter and asked
If there was any truth in the rumor he
denied It flatly, saying that Mr. Robin
son had come lor no such purpose.
"He came simply to look over the G.
C. AN., and be hits done that and gone
hunt . That ws. all he was after
Tlie rumor ia u> j 1 t ly false ab u bl
ooming to lock alter buying the Cov
ington A Macon.”
Mr Robins >n left last evening on
tbe Noitheastern for Baltimore He
expressed himself ns being very much
p|ea«ed at tbe improvements that are
going on in Athens, and Mid that his
impression of the city was far more fa
vorable than the last time he was ben
"Among the Breakers."
Tbe very name itself brings np pleas
ant recollections in tbe minds of the
people who attended its rendition several
years ago.
A nd they ere glad to know that It
will be repented, and that as early as
next Friday nigbt.
Tbe play was certainly well rendered
before, and several of the same actors
are in tbe number of those who will
prevent it Friday nigbt.
It will be presented by tbe Athens
Dramatic Association, the amateurs In
the oity.
Some of tbe finest amateur theatrical
talent in tbe State is to be found among
tbelr number, end it will never be more
thoroughly interesting nod captivating
than in tbe play to be presented Friday
nigbt.
’1 bey will exercise every effort to
plea re those who attend, and tbe chari
table purpose for which the play ia
given will lend additional incentive to
aplendid production.
The following will participate in the
play and will aet the parts assigned
them:
Mother Cary, Miss Laura Speer; Miss
Minnie Daze, Miss Psnlin; Biddy, Miss
Bessie Conger; Miss Bess Starbrighr,
Mrs. .1. W. Barnett; David Murray.

SUNDAY AT Y. M. C. A.
Dr. C. W, Lane’s Impressive Addrnse.
Long before five o’clock numbers of
young men congregated in tbe parlors
of the Y. M. C. A, the occasion being
Dr. Lane’s address. The services began
promptly at five, and after tbe usual
opening exercises tbe leader began a
"character study" of Solomon. As the
aged speaker grew deeper into the life
of the wisest man the world has ever
known, the interest of the audienoe was
more manifest*
The Doctor led those present through
the palatial halls of King Solomon’s
home, thence through the temple of
Solomon, baiting here and there, and
»SFi
■on fully explaining. the -“why and
wherefore” of eaeh object; thence
through the _
dozen favorite haunts of
annual income was over half a million
dollars. In tbe end tbe speaker re
peated the verdict uttered from the very
SBhiNilMH “
pa of Soloman himself: “All is van!
ty and vexation of spirit.",
As the speaker was about to conclude
bis wonderful.conversational talk, and
pictured Solomon as an old man and
repeated with faltering voice the say
ings of Solomon verbatim, one oould
hardly believe themselves in tbe pres
ence of a people of today listening to
the words spoken by a man of today,
hut rather that Solomon himself was th«
speaker and that this was SolomonV
day. Much to the regret of those pres
ent the speak, r com luiled his remarks
after speaking 30 minutes, and was fol
lowed by brief remarks by several ac
tive members present .after which the
service closed. Mr. A. L. Hull con
ducts this service next Sunday, topic—

Tbe county of Clarke.
And the prosperous, thriving, busy
tv of Athena.
It is always gratifying to tbe
people of both county and city to know
that they are prosperous.
And a glance at tbe Tax Receiver’s
books, sod those of tbecltv treasurer is
enough to oonvioce one of the fact that
progress and advancement is in tbe
midst of the people.
An increas- in tbe taxable returns of
county is a pretty sure sign of an in-
nease in prosperity. If * county grow*
richer ana more powerful, them itspeo-
pie must be growing richer and more
powerful.
Tax Receiver Sims sod City Treasurer
Gilleland are busy with their work just
now taking in the returns of the people
of all the taxable property in the coun
ty and city.
Tbey are kept busy, too, in tbe strict
aenae of tbe word. Tbey have all tbey
ean eacily do to keep up with the re
turns.
Mr. Si ms’was at bis desk making out
some returns, when a Banner reporter
struck up a conversation with him.
"Yes," said he, “Clarke county i-
going to show up a large increase in
the return of taxable property for the
present year. Of oourse, I cannot tell
whs' the lull returns win b-. o
that ean only be ascertained after the
closing of the books in July.”
"Are the people making their returns
steadily?”
"Yes, tbey are coming in prett\
briskly, and will oontinue to do so for
some time.”
Wbat do you estimate tbe total val
uation of taxable property for tbis year
In Clarke county ?"
Well, that ia a pretty hard question
to answer, but I am satisfied that the
total tax returns f »r Clarke county will
reach upward of seven million dollars,
and that will be an increase of over six
hundred thousand dollars over last
year. 1

Scenes of Saturday*
Ye-terday tbe University boys wen-
busy recounting tbs scenes of the great
xsme at Oxford. Tbe high and bound-
ng enthusiasm hadn’t died out by any
means, and each player came in for hl-
full share of the compliments. Aqd th>
Emory boys were not left out when it
me down to the question of compli
ments.
The bovs were highly pleased with
their victory, although it washy a close
score, and the colors Of tbe University
were laid away for future use,
Tbe next game between the college
and Emory will be played about June
~ ,li. The boys will have tbe grounds
put in in fine share,and every arrange
ment will be made to have a great
game.
Six hundred thousand dollars in
crease in one year! That is a pretty
good showing for old Clarke, and one
of which her citizens will feel prond.
THE CITY’S VALUE.
City Treasurer Gilleland was seen in
regard to the tax returns of the city
The assessor’s books show a valuation
of the real estate in tbe city at over
three and a half millions of dollars.
Mr. Gilleland states that while there
was some complaint as to the a-sesame at-
being too high, as a rule tbe people
were highly satisfied wi.h tbe work of
tbe tax assessors of tbe city.
"Judging from all indications,” said
Mr. Gilleland, “I would place tbe to
tal tax returns of th* city of Athens for
the present year at something over six
millians of dollars.
This would make it an increase of
half,a million ”
Thus the people will see that Athens
not standing i-till by any
means.
Sbe is moving forward very rapidly?
With all her increased wealth, her new
enterprises, and additional burdens,
her tax remains at the low figure of one
per cent. Tbe showing made by tbe
receiver's books when they close will
be one of which every cjtizen of the
county will feel proud.

dence of Fred Drexillins, at the owner
of Pine street and Muskegon avenue,
and back of tbat destroyed the Matthew
Wilson house, but was checked on that
side of tho street, and people breathed
easier, for they saw that the solid busi
ness part of the city was out of danger.
The fire, however, continued its way up
Pine and Spring streets, licking np
many stores and dwellings with a terri
ble roaring that nearly drove the people
frantic.
Af ?r leaving Mort Watson’s house,
the fire jumped to Pine street, burned
G. F. Ontowaite’s fine residence and
continued its coarse to the west side of
Pine street, destroying every store on
that side ot the street, and also three
houses on Walton street. Here the fire
was again checked from spreading west
erly. The court house was seen to be
on fire. Tbe Rheriff immediately took
possession of the prisoners, twelve in
number, and conveyed them to the city
hall lockup. There was a general
stampede, and the papers were quickly
hustled into the large fire-proof vaults.
All tho papers are supposed to be safe.
Judge Dickerson lost about hnlf bis fine
library, and others also lost a good deal
in a personal way. All that remains of
the large court noose is the bare walls.
The fire again jumped across Myrtle
street and took more stores and dwell
ings on the west side of Pine street, And
also one or two blocks around back to
•Terrace street. A large number of
smaller dwellings and buildings were
burned, and then the fire struck Holland
church, the parsonage and brick school
house belonging to the same denomtnan
tion. In the meantime the fire continued
to bum everything between Pine and
Spring streets, and was only checked at
Isabela street, a distance or ten blocks.
On Terrace street the buildings burned
covered a space of five blocks, and the
whole number of blocks over twenty.'
The total number of dwellings burned
is j r jbably 860. By 9 o’clock the fire
hail reached the southern district of the
city, where there was more space be-
tween the houses, and the firemen suc
ceeded in considerably reducing the
further progress of the flames. The
total loss will not fall much below $500,-
000 and an insurance man estimated
that the insurance will come npto

Pain Proved to be comparative.
The Nineteenth Ceutnry has an article
in a recent number from tbe pen of W.
Collier, dealing with tbe relative sen
sitiveness to pain ot the animal king
dom. He shows that as we descend the
scale the sensations become more blun
ted. Active brain workers are most
susceptible to pain. With* pain ask re
sultant, there of course exists causes,
and there are mainly dyspepsia, general
debility, loss of uppetit*-, .insomnia,
chronic malaria, toxaemia, blood poison
ing, disordered liver and kidney com
plaint. Nature has provided a remedy
which is embodied in a formula tbat is
tbe wooder of tbe medical world for its
complete routing of these combined or
separate ailments. It is Dr. Westmore
land’s Calisapa Tonic. Physicians pre
scribe it daily for their patients. In
malarial districts it is unrivalled. For
