ALL HONORTOJEFF DAVIS!
Yesterday The Banner had occa
sion to refer to tbe proclamation is-
•sued by General John B. Gordon
urging confederate veterans to take
seriously to heart the building of a
monument to the memory of the
Confederacy’s dead chieftain, Ex-
l’resident Jefferson Davis. In*
Banner was never more in earnest
about any matter before, than it
to see all veterans, wives,widows,sons
and daughters of veterans interest
themselves to build this monument-
We publish below the proclamation
of General Gordon and ask for it a
careful consideration.
the State Fair. July.
This year thtongh tbe courtesy of
an invitation from tbe Farmers’ Club
endorsed by the city council of Ath
ens and tbe people generally we have
secured the next convention of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society.
Tiius we owe much to the Farm
ers’ Club of Clarke. Tbe time has
come when .the occasion demands
friendly recognition from Athenians
to this institution. The Club needs
money. A debt of $208 must be
paid, and money must be had to en
tertain the delegates to the agricul
tural covcntion which meets here in
August. The subscription list has
already been started for the assis-;
tance of the Club. Let it be enlarg
ed.
Let every business man subscribe
liberally to this worthy institution.
Here is the letter, which needs no
explanation:
Headquarters United Confeder
ate Veterans—My Confederate
brothers: Upon you has devolved in
large measure the responsibility of
raising fuuds for the purposed mono
uinenlto the memory of Jefferson
Davis.
No argument, no urgent appeal.no
special ellort, on our part, is needed
to secure your hearty co-operation in
this cause. You will esteem it not
only a sacred duty hut a high priv
ileve to enlist in this work aud to se
cure the aid of all people throughout
tbe Union.
With unflattering fidelity to every
interest of our whole country, and a
sincere appreciation of all great
Americans of every section, we will
build monuments to oui own peer
less heroes as an inspiration to com
ing generations, and we will erect
lining one to our great chieftain,
whose public and private life was
without fear or reproach, whose ser
vices to his country,in peace and war
will yet command the respect and
win the plaudits of all his country
men, and whose dauntless devotion
to his conviction has scarcely a par
allel in history.
Tue details of plans for raising the
necessary money may safely be in
trusted to tne dillerent Confederate
veterans’ associations, bivouacs,
camps and local organizations; but
the committee appointed by the
Southern Press association, itself
composed largely o*'Confederate vet
erans, has issued a call for the people
to meet on June 18th next, to take
proper steps towards a course of vol
untary contributions, or other meth
od which they may deem best. This
seme to. me to be both opportune and
wise I therefore most respectfully
and earnestly uige all Confederate
organizations to meet on that day
for this purpose and all Confederates
not members of any organization to
unite with tbe people and assist the
movement in their respective local
ities.
Tbe funds raised by special efforts
of Confederates may be sent to J udge
W. L. Calboun, of Atlanta,'Ga., who
will act as trersurer, receipt for all
remittances aud place tbe same ii
bank to thecrediiof the Davis mon
ument fund.
John B. Gordon,
Commanding United Confederate
Veterans.
Tbe co-operation of the sons of
Confederate veterans and especially
of patriotic Southern women
vited and assured.
J. B Gordon.
SYMPTOMATIC.
The republican organs in this sec ’
tion of country are taking especial
interest in the action of the demo
cratic party on two points, says the
Boston Herald. First, they are ex
tremely solicitous that this party
shall commit itself to the support of
the free coinage of silver by the gov
ernment, and, next, they are in a
chronic state of concern for fear that
Grover Cleveland shall be their can
didate for the presidency. They are
so overdoiug things here on both
points that it seems impossible
the democrats shall not take a lesson
from what is thus taught them. Es - e-
ry symptom of democratic tendency
toward free coinage is caught up,
paraded and magnified, aud not a
word unfavorable to Mr. Cleveland
can be found that is not greedily
clutched and made much of. This
party seems very much out of meat
on the old issues.
Sam Whitmire and Branham are out
of place somehow nr ocher. Our ex
change table is as cheerful as a funeral
procession without the finger marks of
these fellows.
“We have a heap of faith in simple
honesty,” sighs an exchange. Yes,
perhaps; but generally speaking this is
a paradox. There is but little “simple
honesty” these days, so how can you
measure faith by the “heap.”

Gallant Fleas Stovall is
trouble. The Greenville News,
speaking of the spar between Mile
deGrulfenreid and Mrs. Felton says:
Editor Stovall, of the Chronicle, is a
wise man in his day and generation
He took a hand in the scrimmage at
the beginning, but Miss dcGrallen-
reid gave him a few for himself in
passing, and he bows and ba>k< out
of it us gracefully as we ever saw it
done. He covers bis retreat with
column and a half of wordb which
read well and say nothing and leaves
the two ladies to settle the matter
between them. He is not, by Ion
odds, tbe first man who has made
irouble between two women and
then pulled out of harm’s way.
Few people have suffered more severely
from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says:
‘ Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weigh
ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment
developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I
was reduced to 1C2 pounds, suffering burning
sensations in the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,
nausea, and indigestion.
I could not sleep, lost all
heart In my work, had fits of melancholia, and
for days at a time I would have welcomed
death. I became morose, sullen and irritable,
and for eight years life was a burden. I tried
many physicians and many remedies. One day
a workman employed by me suggested that

six I did so, and before taking the whole of 1
a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The
territle pains to which I had been subjected,
ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided,
my stomach became easier, nausea disap
peared, and my entire system began to |
tone up. With returning
strength came activity of
mind and body. Before
the fifth bottle was taken
I had regained my former weight and natural I
condition. I am today well and I ascribe It |
to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”

In the book stores of Montevideo 1 no
ticed a fair number of translations ol
European scientific and historical works,
but I hunted in vain for a copy of Cal
deron. Lope de Vegn or Francisco de
Quevedo. Even copies of Don Quixote
are few and far between This neglect
of the great Spanish classics and of tbe
lighter picaresque writers struck me os

pers of Mputevideo, like those of Buenos
Ayres, depend upon the French for their
