gia, and only one man knows ita where
abouts. That man is Major W. S
Crosby, of Carteraville.
Major Crosby was in Athens yester
day and called at the Banner office. He
came to Athena to have Dr. White tt>
analyze some ores that he had taken off
a piece of land in the norvbern portion
of the state.
The ore contained silver, and he says
it is from Georgia soil, though he wil|
not tell where the mine is located.
It may be nearer Athens than Car-
t-srsville, and the development of the
mine wi.l be of gie
benefit to tbe State.
Itisau undeniable fact that in the
mountains of Northern Georgia th*ue
is a great deal of silver. It has been
developed tb a slight extent, bnt there
remains a great deal more yet.
Major Crosby states that the veiDs of
wh ich bespeaks is nine miles in length
and practically inexhaustible.
There is a story connected with tbe
property upon which the vein of ore is
located.
The old fellow who originally owned
tbe land was put in jail for some crook
edness in trying to borrow money on
the property.
While in jail be grew desperate and
in a moment of despair committed sui
cide.
Since then it has been discovered that
a large por’ion of this silver vein is lo
cated on this property.
Major Crosby will not spsak of its
whereabouts, but says tt is one of the
richest finds iu Georgia, and that the
public will hear from it soon.

Decidedly Lively Just Now.
^ .anta. Ga., Nov. 10.—[Special, j—
hi politics are red hot now and the
ht promises to be one of the liveliest
ampaigns Atlanta has known in its
^T-recoid bf lively nninicin..l fights. The
*t ticket put out by the~committee of "one
hundred is an excellent one—one that
will, or ought to, appeal to the best
elements iu all parts of the city. Capt.
Boyd, the candidate for al«le r m *n from
t'te North Side, is oue of tho strongest
men in Atlanta. Mr. Jim Slephens,
district manager of tho Western Uuion
Telegraph Company, is the n iruii.ee for
airman from the South Hide. The
first ward nominee for council is Capt
O. R- neau, one of the best known and
oldest conductors on the Central. Mr.
John Colvin, from the second^
is the popular baggage ageut at the
uuion depot; Mr. John McWaters, the
third, i9 a railroad engineer; Mr. Will
Hill of she fourth is a lawyer, a neph
ew of Ben Hill. From the fifth there is
Charley Northen, probably tbe most
popular young fellow in Atlanta. The
sixth ward has one of the best men in
tbe lot, T. D. Meador , the Alabama
street groceryman. As a whole the
ticket is excellent, and is sure to be
elec‘ed. --
TIm'only other ticket in the field is
the ticket which contains one or two
good names, but which as a whole can
not be classed with this conservative
ticket. Whether auy others will be
put out is a matter of conjecture, but
it is not likely.
A conflict. between the government
and its enemies seems imminent. The
government fleet • at Itagui, consisting
of two monitors aud three gunboats, has
been delivered up to the junta. This
has caused great rejoicing among tbe
insurgents. The United Htutes steamer

MILTON AND DOLLIE N'
COMING MONDAY, NOV. 23RD7
The coming of this popular actor and
dramatist is at any time an advent of
interest to the theatre-going people of
this city where he is .idamensely popu
lar. The present visit Vill be made
doubly interesting by the fact that he
will produce his !»st and most sucqpsg-
ful play f^oin his own versatile Ten,
and bearing the in.doisement uf the
ablest critics in the land. “From Siw
to Son” is tbe title of Mr. Nobles’ last
offering to the masses. The play is
distincivelv American, like all of Mr.
Nobles’ plays, and is pronounced of a
higher order of literary and construct
ive merit than any of its predecessors.
The company carried bv Mr. Nobles is
composed of the best artists in the pro
fession. As an actor, author, manager
and a man, Milton. Nobles represents
what is best in the theatrical profess
ion. He is a representative American,
he writes plays exclusively, his inci
dents are such as could reasonably oc
cur, his characters are flesh and blood
realities.
AFTER A THIEF
In
Who has Been Stealing Horses
■ Jackson County.
Yesterday there came tnto Athena
several white men armed with Win
chester rifles ,and it was seen that they
meant busioess.
It was not known what they were up
to and many surmises were made as to
wbat had brought them here, armed
with weapon,®, is belli Jerent warfare; ''
Z' --CaCiA of the case were them. They
were citizens of Jackson County and
tbeir mission was the capture ofa
horse thief.'
Of late Jackson County farmers have
been losing their horses and their bug
gies, and have been unable to locate the
tbe parties who did the stealing.
Saturday night, however, some one
stole a horse from Mr. Lee Lavender,
of Jacksou'county, aud the theft waa
discovered shortly thereafter. Several
gentlemen at once started in pursuit
and tracked the man alri'SVound that
section of Jackson county, and finally
into Clarke couoty, and up to within a
few miles of Athens where they lost
lbs trail.
A bd they bad come to Athens to see
whether he had passed through here.
They did not know whether tbe thief
was a negro or a white man, but they
knew that if they caught him, be would
se ve a few years in tbe pen.
They will keep a sharp look out for
him.
