The fire laddies of Athens!
As the? dash oat to the sound of the
fire bell, bow each heart leaps wi'b ex
citement in remembrance of the days
of the old fire department.
Those were glorious old
days and the memory of
that time will long remain to brighten
the thoughts of our citizens. It was a
goodly hand of citizens that used to
man the reels and hook and ladder and
tight ihr flames for the sake of Athens
and her people.
Thrii services will not he forgotten,
but in the march of progress from a
town lo * city. Athens b is seen flt to
estah isb a paid tire department.
And it is a good one too.

CLASSIC CITY.
BETTER PRICES WILL COME
Whan the Season Opens Mora Fully—
Athens will Reach Ten Hundred
Thousand Bales.
The cotton season is not fairly opened
a* yet, but Athens has nearly reached a
total of receipts of 25.000 bales.
And if she keeps up the lick at this
rate the is sure to go over one hundred
thousand bales when the season is
closed.
Foa the last week or two the scenes
on the streets among the cotton factors
has not been as lively as usual, slow
movement caused by the nrop in price
and the heavy port receipts.
But the indications now are that
prices will be better after a while, and
that the streets of Athens will be fairly
lined with wagons bringing the fleecv
staple to the city.
The warehousemen in Athens are bet
ter equipped this year than ever b»fore

TUBUTE OF RESPECT TO COL
STEVENS THOMAS.
The Board of Directors of the South
ern Mutual Insurance Company, feel
deeply the loss sustained by the death
of their honored colleague, Col Stevens
Thomas, Secretary and General Agent
of the company.
Hi* uniform courtesy towards towards
each member commanded their pro
found respect and endeared him to
each of those who are left behind to
miss bis presence and advice at their
council b >ard.
Coi. Thomas had been connected
with the Company for thirty seven
years, during twenty-four of which he
was its Secretary. Entering upon the
duties of this office iu 1866, when the
affairs of the Company were just begin*
ning to rally from the direful ef
fects of the war, he largely
contributed by his wisdom, prudence
and great administrative talents, to
p : acing the Company in the eminent
position it now occupies.
His clear conception of whatever
matter came before him, bis just and
correct ideas of the rights of others,
bis faithful adherence <o fundamental
principles in all the business of his of
fice, inspired confidence and made ev
ery one, brought in contact with him,
feel that their rights and interests
were safe in his hands.
H is colleagues of the Board will miss
him not merely as a faithful officer, but
also as a friend whom they loved and
admired. Theenergyand truth ulnesa
of liis character, bis sound and compre
hensive judgment, the active and con
stant devotion to duty which made him
still attend to the details of his office
even under the shadow of approaching
death, his uncheering address, the truth
honesty, wisdom and prudence which
were the ruling principles of his actions
will ever be remembered by those who,
from frequent association with him,
had learned to honor and esteem him as'
a true gentleman.
While we bow in humble submission
to this afilicting dispensation ot Provi
dence, it becomes us to express the
deep sorrow that we feel at the loss of
our lamented associate, it becomes us to
testify our respect for his high charac
ter, his distinguished talents, his emi
nent services to the Southern Mutual
Insurance Company, to his many vir
tues and to the loving rememberance
in which we hold to many graceful
qualities which parted colleague and
friend, we, therefore
Resolve, That these expressions of
our deep regret be entered upon our
our minutes; that a copy of the same

PaVJSONALOWB.
The Southern Alliance Farmer has
some nice things to say of Col. James
. Smith, of Oglethorpe. It says:
Oglethorpe county has a citizen of
whom she can justly be proud. He is
Col. James M. Smith, widely Known as
the largest planter in state, and also
distinguished for operationg several
Other branches of business to most ad
vantageous results, notably :cotton seed
oil mills, guano making, s'tock rai-ing
and local railroading. In addition to
this great capacity of financiering and
executive ability he post-esses a b eadth
* intellect, a fund of information and
the capacity to impart it to such an ex
tent that his fellow citizens regard as
a rare treat the privilege of hearing
him in anything akiu to a public
speech. Upon every occasion possi
ble he is pressed into servise in that
capacity.
An an informal gathering some we k
ago, where the subject of the improv -
ment of public roads was discussed, he
was_requested to make a talk one day
during the present court week upon a
subj-ct of immediate interest to the
people of Oglethon-e county. He com
plied with that request iu the court
house here last Tuesday. He was
sandwiched in at noon between the
morning and afternoon sessions of the
court, hence the available time at his
disposal was too short to satisfy his
hearers.
In an address of three quarters of an
hour he instructed bis large audience
a manuer superbly interesting. We
have never before heard so much told
a few minutes’s talk
won the unbounded confidence of
his hearers in his extreme loyalty to
our country and his sincere interest in
'he welfare of all 'he people. He was
I rank to say that, should he keep his
health and knowled, he bad do fears
that he would continue to make a good
living; still he expressed great cornern
for the the mass of the people of the
pepleoi the peop'e of the country, and
showed plainly that their past a .d pres
ent courpe of conduct had tc-dered to
and would result in disastrous results
He is thoroughly conversant with the
history of our country during the past
century. He dwelt upon the fact that
the fitst settlers found spread all ov r
this then rich soil a most ex<e’lent c> v-
•g of the finest va
i * of timber; that ai
mase splendid crops without any fer
tilizing; that this they did for forty
years, during which time the people be
gan to move away in search of fresh
land; that at that time Oglethorpe
ounty Lad a population of 25,000 peo
pie, when a large portion of (lie weal
thiest planters forsook tt eir old homes
wnere they had made their fortunes,
carrying with them their money, ne
groes, all other kinds ot property and
their valuable experience, to the im
poverisbment of the country. He insis
ted and showed how
uch better it would
have been uot only for those men, bu-
for the county, had they remained and
iut tyeir money in factorias of various
cinds here in the county.
He dwelt upon the great necessity at
present for these diversified industries,
and thus check the suicidal policy oi
devoting all our labor and capital to
making the one crop of cotton. Hedc
plored the present prevalent inclination
of the people of the county to leave
their homes and go the towns and cit
ies. He said the cities were s tppiug the
life out of the country and it was our
duty to check it by remaining at home
in old Oglethorpe and improve our
homes and surroundings that we may
uot be secood to ai.y community in the
land. He pointed out the disadvan
tages that Oglethorpe county is ex
periencing by not naviog any city or
town of any size, while surrounded by
the counties containing thriving little
cities of Athens and Eiberton and
Washington; that Oglethorpe county
was once the third largest in the State
as to wealth, being only exceeded
by Chatham and Richmond, while now
our taxable property was fast decreas
iug from its already small aggregate
and our population would soon show us
entitled to only one representative in
the legislature.
Col. Smith was elaboate in bis ap
plause of the great men Oglethorpe
county had furnished the State and na
tion, and said that because we could
boast of such illustrious ancestry, who
founded and brought our country into
such standing, we should deplore the
present state of diminished
wealth and population
He implored the people to a united tf
fort to better their condition in their
great country; that it was in their pow
er to yet turn the tide of affairs to plen
ty and prosperity. His address was
telling one. The|audie r ce wanted to
hear him two hours more, for thev re
cognized in him a living example typi
fyingthe precepts which he bad so
well proclaimed. We, with many oth
ers, hope we may soon hear him again
when he will have more time in which
to encourage his fellow citizens.
BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Prof. C. M. Strahan Engaged In a
Laudable Work.
The Southern s lliauce Farmer in
speaking of the work of the Road Con
gress that assembled in Atlanta recent'
ly has some very laudatory words to say
concerning one of Athens’ most es
teemed citizens. It says:
Prof. C. M Strahan, of the State
University, has taken the lead in aveiy
much m ed d v ork—the 1 ettrrrnent of
our country roads. The l’.olessor was
the leading figure in the road congiesa
last week and suggested a plan worthy
of careful consideration .There is nothing
more important than good public road>.
and we trust that tbe movement inaug
urated in Atlanta last week will be
taken up throughout the state. Good
roads means a saving to farmers in ma
ny different ways. They mean fewer
stock and fatter stock ; a great saving
in vehicles; a lo?s supply of corn and
fodder to run them, and the moving of
your market towusseveral miles nearer.
If Prof. Strahan succeeds in this ,move-
uent, and there is no earthly reason
why he should not, the farmers of Geor
gia will owe him a lasting debt of grati
tude.

DISAPPOINTED-
REPUBLICANS ARB NOW FIGHTINQ
FOR 1892.
BLAINE AND MCKINLEY.
Democrats Can See That Victory le In
Their Grasp. While Republicans
Are Overcome With Gloom
—Tariff Reform Bound to
be the Democratic
Watchword.
Washington, Nov. f. —Tha general
feeling here is that the alectiona this
week and their results have smoothed
the way for a Democratic viotory In
1898.
The president, Mr. Blaine and other
members of the admiuistratian eee this
and they do not contemplate the figures
of the last election with anything like
eatlsfaction. They have seen the free
coinage and Farmers’ Alliance souiee
falling out of sight and tariff reform
standing ont boldly as the issue with
the certainty that a proper man will be
the nominee of the Democratic,party
on a sound platform.
The members of the administration
make but a feeble attempt to disguise
the fact that the losses their party have
sustained are serious if not fatal. The
thing Mr. Harrison was concerned
about above all else was the election of
Mr. Fassett.
His vocabulary does not supply a term
strong enough for his disappointment.
Democrats are inconsolable because Mr.
Campbell has been compelled to take,
hut there is acknowledged uiach In
that result in the way of profit if the
Democracy will not close their eyes
to it.
It holds the Republicans to the rub
ber tariff as an issue for which they
must contend, ami it promises to elimi
nate the free coinage of silver idea from
the fight in ’92. Thus sunlight can he
seen through the only Democratic re
verse.
While the administration finds no
solace anywhere, the New York Sun in
an editorial leader prophesies that
Blaine and McKinley will be the Re
publican ticket iu ’98. It is thought
here that the large Republican major
ity in the Ohio legislature will invite a
bitter flglrt between Sherman and For-
aker for the senate.
THROUGH THE HEAD.
A Farmer look n Little Girl for a
Woodchuck and Killed Her.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 6.—The
following report of a terrible affair has
been received here: A man named Wil

had been annoyed by the depredations of
ground hogs iu his fields, went into the
woods near by where the woodchuck*
concealed themselves and set snares for
the animals. While he was setting the
snari s a little girl named Bailey, .10 or
11 years old, and who lived nearby,
was attracted by Wilson’s actions, and
slipped behind a stump to watch him.

THE Fat MEN’S CLUB,
The Production of This Popular Fares
La9t Night.
Mr. J. C. Stewart’s production of this
popular comedy last evening was & trial
to delight the most authetic taste as
well as an appeal to the funny side ot
human nature.
Stewart himself was great. He al
ways has been. His laughable presen
tations were scarcely smatller than him
self, and he kept up the happy and ex
uberant spirits of the audience through
out the entire play.
Tbe gymnastic feats of the Garnella
brothers, and the special song and dance
features introduced by Misses Lillie
Aibyne and Georgia Lingard were
worthy of commendation.
It is highly probable that, the
acrobatic feats of the Al
bion brothers would have been of a
very high order, had not the gas lights
gone out in the midst of the fourth act
much to the sorrow of the audience and
to the consternation of the actors. But
the lights weutout, and until tbe end
of the play, which was finished under
difficulties, darkness reigned supreme.
Everyone was in a good humor, how-
ver, this being tbe effect of the play
and everyone seemed to regard the
darkness as a practical joke.
