And tbe place selected is a most beau
tiful and convenient one.
It will be erected on College avenue
Mar tbe Ooonee river, and willbeo'i
easy access to every citizen.
And again, College avenue bas been
greatly improved and will be Improved
each year so as to make it one ot tbe best
thoroughfares in the city
Tbe G., C. A N. bas for some time
been casting around for a suitable place
upon which to erect its depot, and at
la t found it.
The land is situated at tbe lower end
of College avenue and very near the
river.
It was sold to the road by’ Capt.
Jeptha H. Rucker, and tbe price paid is
said to have been five thousand dollnrs.
Tbe land is well situated, is compar
atively level, well drained, and easy 01
access.
It is an admirable place upon which
to erect a depot. —
THE NLW BCII DING.
Tbe railroad will commence at a very
early date to erect ita new depot.
As tbe Georgia, Carolina and North
era never does things by halves, it is
safe to say that this depot will be a
handsome one.
It will be large, commodious aud
roomy, and will be bu It after the very
latest and best style. It will be fitted
up with all the modern conveniences,
and when the O. C. A N. train rolls
into Athens, the depot
will be ready to rece ve it.
The new road will be a great route for
freight and passenger traffic and hence
its depot will be a large one. Athens,
being an important point on its line de
mands a splendid depot.
Ii will be only the work of a few
months until the new depot will be
finished.
College avenue will then be quite k
popular and much frequented street.
The Augusta & Chattanooga still
causes talk in railroad circles. The
road is as sure to be built as is the fact
th»t wc live and move and have our be
ing.
The lat esc news on this subject is that
a tarty of western capitalists lias come
to Chattanooga and iu conjunction with
some Chattanooga capitalists,jwiil build
tbe roqd.
It will be a great western outlet for
this city, and will be one of her great
roa s. Athens is still on top in tbe
railroad world.
THEY WIL L USHER
Tbe base ball games between tbe
University and Emory are not yet off.
And tbey may be played despite tbe
opposition of Dr. Candler, of Oxford.
The Emory boys want to come over
to A'bena and tbe University boya are
anxious to meet them-
And tbe consequence will be that
each school will do its utmost to ar
range tbe games.
If they can be to arranged aa to come
off after the Emory Commencement
and before tbe University’s closing ex
ercises. tbey will be played. Mean
while the challenge sect by Prof. Herty
to the Mercer team baa been answered
by that team. Tbe faculty at that Col
lege is also opposed to their going off.
but they will endeavor to make ihe
•sme arrangement as that to be madb
with Emory.
If tbey succeed, it will be a great
time during tbe games to be played in
Athens. Below is tbe letter received
by Prof. Herty from the Mercer team:
Macon, May 26th 1891,
Mr. Cbas. H. Herty,
Dear Sir:
Several days since I received from
you a letter concerning a game of ball
between Athens and Mercer, to be
played in Athens next Saturday.
Now, 1 will say that nothing would
please our club and students as much
as a game with the University, but the
Faculty is opposed to our going so far
at present. Commencement is approach
ing and consequently our examinations
are close at hand.
I have delayed my answer until now.
hoping that possibly we might mail
you an acceptance of your challenge.
Mercer will endeavor to arrange a
date with Athens at an early day.
Have you an engagement during your
commencement?
Congratulating your club upon ita
recent victory over Oxford, 1 am
Respectfully, Wm. M. Conner,
Capt. M. B. B. Club.
And now Prof. Herty is trying to
arrange for the University club to stay 1
here after their finals are over in order
d play these games.
Several members of the club have
made business arrangements that will
probably call them borne immediately
arter ibeir examinations are finished,but
Prof. Herty will endeavor to arrange
matters to th- y can stay over.
And tbe games may yet be played.

The Farmer’s club of Clarke oounty is
an organisation that has dons much
work to behalf of tbe county and its
people.
It put before tbe eyes of the people
of the State an exbibb at the last State
Fair that waa pronounced to be one of
the very finest there.
And in bo doing, tbe club incurred a
debt wbicb it baa not been able to Uf L
Tbe Grand Jury of Clarke
county came forward and gave
two hundred dollars towards relieving
tbe debt. This was a gracious act on
their part, and one that was highly ap
preciated.
Tet even that sum was not enough to
clear up the matter, and there stllj
hangs over tbe club a debt of two hund
red and twenty-eight dollars.
Dr. E. D. Newton, president of tbe
olub, is anxious to raise this amount at
oace in order that the club may pay off
ita indebtedness,and be ready to enter
tain tbe State Agricultural Society, at
its meeting here in August.
The officers of this club have worked
all along without compensation for thei r
survioes, doing all for.tbe benefit, of tbe
p<opleof Clarke county. All monies
t«ce<ved have been applied to the pay
ments of debts, and tbe club now wishes
to be relieved of this debt, so that it can
go on doing good in the future.
It cannot be denied that the invit t-
tionof The Banner, and the subsequent
invitation of Mayor and Council ot Ath
ens, to tbe Agricultural Society to meet
in this city, was accepted largely on ac
count of tbe splendid showing msde by
Clarke county, through its exhibit at
tbe State Fair.
The Club needs two hundred and
twenty-eight dollars to get out of debt,
aud about one hundred to help enter
tain the Agricultural society in Au
gust.
It calls upon the citizens of Athens
to make up this amount out of their
generosity and put the club where it
can still do good for the county.

Liquor House Falls.
Atlanta, Ga., May 28.—[Special.]—
The stock in wholesale liquor house of
Richard Baltticher purchased on May
22 from H. Keuuy, was to
day attached for Kenny’s
debt to the Anhiu«er Busch Brewing
Association of $2,235.
The attachment issued under allega
tions in the petition filed that the trans
for was made to delay and defraud
creditors and that Balt'icher, who was
formerly a clerk for Kenny,had knowl
edge of the fact.
The bond required by law was given
and the house has not been closed.
The embarras-ment o* tbe wholesale
liquor house of P. J. Keuuy is the re

from the Charleston since she left Aca

continued pursuit of the Itata.
Wheu the vessel failed to touch at
Panama within the time expected, the
department said that it was very proba

The prediction was fulfilled, for
the port at which the Charleston bas
announced her arrival is Callao, Pern.
. The whereabouts of the Itata are as
far from being known as before the
Charleston was heard from., for Capt.
Rexaey, her commander, reported that
he had seen nothing of the Itata. on his
cruise down the coast.
The Charleston will join the squadron

announcing the peaceful surrender by
the insurgents of the elusive craft,
