ieing very large. This latter will be
used by the Lampkin Bros, for general
merchandise—the other as a furniture
ware room. On the npper floor are
three suits of rooms, elegantly arrang

WAS there a marriage?
The Mysterious Movements of a
Couple In the City on Sunday.
A well-known gentleman in Athens
gave a Banner reporter some of the
movements of a conple who were in the
city last Sunday morning.
The lady was thickly veiled, and the
couple alighted and went to a well-
known home in the city. The lady of
the home did not recognize her visitors.
The gentleman was a stranger and the
lady so olosely veiled as to prevent re
cognition. They asked permission to
be married at the house, but the request
was denied. She said she might per
mit the marriage if she knew the par
ties, or if they would make themselves
known. At this the intended bride
laughed, and said “yon know me very
well,and it may be I am your daughter.”
(The lady’s daughter is off from Ath
ens on a visit.) By this the Athens
lady knew that the would-be-brido
knew her very well. The parties then
said they had travelled eighteen miles
that morning, and insisted op being
married at this lady’s home. She
firmly refnsed to have a runaway mar
riage oelebrated at her home, especially
when kept in the dark as to who the
parties were. Finding that they could
not be married in that house,they made
a hasty retreat, and nothing further has
been heard of them. .
Now, the question is, was this really
a runaway couple and did they get
married, or was it simply a joke they
were playing off on the lady in ques
tion?

boys of the junior department have
been preparing for during the past
week, will be given tonight at the
building at 7:30.

ment. As the purpose of the party by
the juniors is to raise the money for the
equipment of a company of cadets the
admission has been placed at 10 cents.
Ioe cream, sherbert and cake will be
sold.
DIME MILITARY PARTY.
THE EXACT STATUS.
In Regard to Every Dollar of the Bond
Money.
A few days sinoe the Equitable Mort
gage Company notified Mr. A. H.
Hodgson that on account of pending
litigation they did not wish to take up
the last thirty thousand dollan of the
issue of the Athena Waterworks bonds
This has given raise to same comment
since it had been stated that all the
bond money had been obtained by the
oity.
The facts of the ease are simply these,
Vinety-flve thousand dollars of the bond
money hss been paid over by the Equi
table Mortgage Company, and Capt
James White has the remaining thirty
thousand dollars of bonds. There isn’t
a bond of the city in a position where
it could be touched, and the oity has all
of its money.
The Eqnitable Mortgage Company
can be compelled to take the bonds, bat
if they didn’t, everything wonldamonnt
to the same thing as the bonds would be
taken off of the hands of the Equitable
Mortgage Company.
This is the exact status in which this
affair is.

AT THE LAUNDRY.
Mr. J. c. Geiger ip Giving his Personal
Attention.
The Athens Steam Laundry is now
in charge of Mr. J. C. Geiger who pur
chased it a few days since. It is being
improved and made more satisfactory
every day that passes.
To start with, every eity of the size
of Athena should have a steam laundry.
It is one of the indispensable industries
without which a city cannot get along
at all. Well, Athens hss suoh an in
dustry and it is doing splendid work
too.
It is in charge of a competent man
who will keep it up to the very highest
standard of work, and in this way will
serve a most desired end in this com
munity. Mr. Geiger understands bis
business thoroughly and proposes to
make it an undoubted suocess.
He will give his personal attention to
the work at the laundry, will send
promptly for all laundry work given
him and will see that it ie attended to
promptly and so delivered.
The help be has secured for the
laundry is the very best and the
character of work turned out by
him will be the very best. He will
guarantee satisfaction to all who give
him patronage.
Mr. Geiger wishes the patronage of
the peop’e of Athens. He will set very
reasonable prices for his work, will
guarantee satisfactory work, and asks
at the hands of the oitlzsns a trial at
least.
If they onoe try him they will not
hesitate to come again.

Chicago, Ill., July 9,1893.
When I left home I promised to tell
the Banner readers something about
the World's Fair, but after spending
one hour on the streets of the great
White City, I realised how utterly im
possible it would be to redeem my
promise.
A full realization of the ponderosity
and gigantic magnitude of the World’e
Fair is enough to paralyse the human
mind and senses.
As yon straggle through the endless
stream of cosmopolite humanity, half
dazed, half bewildered at the marvelous
sight before you the first question that
suggests itself to a Georgian is, "Where
sm I at-” Jim Barrow, my room-mate,
after his first hoar spent in the liberal
arts bnilding was forced to relieve the
strain of the growing realization of the
proportions and character of the Fair,
by a recess in the fresh air. We walked
out on the shore of Like Michigan and
with his back to the pretty lake literal
ly alive with steamers and hi* eyes
focused on the great domes of the
buildings along the white avenues.
Jim said with such deep sincerity and
feeling, that I was forced to langh:
“Well, I have seen more in the past
hoar than I had ever seen before in my
life.’Ten yean ago in the most exagger
ated dreams of my sobool-d*y air
castle construction period, 1 never
hoped to stand on the shore
of Lake Michigan and looks into the
gates of a world complete within
itself.”
Every man, woman and child in
Georgia that possibly can should come
to the World’s Fair. The money thus
expended would be the most profitable
investment they will ever have an
opportunity to make. It is an educa
tion in itself. jBere within one week
the gates of the world are thrown open
to you. You behold the highest and
grandest work of all the leading civi
lized nations of the earth. You see the
art, skill and talent of all nations in the
highest forms. You feel the prise of
the world’s progress and prosperity-
become familiar, so practically and
realistically are they presented and
portrayed, with the customs of all coun
tries as satisfactorially as were you
traveling in foreign lands, you see with
advantage the resources of their mines,
soil and forests and the products of
their mills, factories and industrial in
stitutions, and literally live with them
for the time being in their own cus
toms, conditions and climate.
Then what is bettor still, the resources,
progress and advanced civilization of
oar incomparable country are before
you like an open book, and when you
have reviewed the exhibits you have
traveled from sea to sea, and witnessed
all the sights, scenes and development
of the continent.
After tiring of the more substantial
exhibits of resources, skill, talent and
development you can branch off into
the midway plaiz race, and if yon are
an admirer of the fair sex, or even one
of that sex yourself, yon will first visit
the beanty show. There yon will find
forty of the most beautiful women in
the world—one each from forty nationB
of the earth. They are all dressed by
famous women furnishing houses in the
world, such a9 Worth, of Paris, and
others equally oelebrated, and their
costumes represent the latest styles and
fashion.
A little lower down you can take a
stroll in the streets of anoient Cairo,
and be introduced to the natives, in
their customs ranging all the way from
grand receptions and society funotions
to ballet dancing. If you want a
change, stop over to the Egyptian quar
ters and interview some of them in
houses, streets and costumes the fee
simile i t thou in that nation’s towns.
Then don’t slight Germany, but take
in the German village, and a glass of
brewery beverage. The Turkish thea
tre, with their bright dancing girls,
might also help you pus away an hoar.
But it is imposaibie to enumerate it
all here. Within the World’s Fair
walla the earth is reduced to miniature
form and can be covered in a day’s
journey.
But if you come, here is some advice:
Get you a room, for which you will pay
one dollar a day. Take your meal* at a
restaurant down town and eat when
you feel like it. Steer clear of the eat
ing shops on the fair grounds, except
those oonducted by the Wellington Ca
tering Company, for they will rob yon
Don’t monkey with the niokle-in-the-
slot machines, for it will oost yon about
two dollars a day. Don’t talk too
much to the booth girls or you will be
oalled a jay. Always get a hill of fare
and su what you want will oost before
you order. Look out for street cart

REPLY TO RICHARDSON-
Mr. L. H. Charbonnler, Jr.. Has a Few
Pointed Remarks to Make-
Mu. Editor:— In your issue of the
9th instant appears a letter from Mr.
A. Richardson, appended to an expla
nation from the finance committee of
the city council. In your issue of July
4th appears the following words:
“Later in the day Mr. Richardaon came
into Mr. McGowan’s office in a gleeful
manner and said he had bought the
bonds at par, and bad loaned fifteen
thousand dollars at 6 per oent to one of
the parties negotiating the bonds.”
Mr. McGowan is not here now, hav
ing been abseut for over two weeks,
and I cannot well communicate with
him, bat relying npon information de
rived from him as I recollect it, I here
and now say that if Mr. A. Richardson
seeks or means to imply by the terms
of his letter, as published in ;your issue
of the 9th, that he made in Mr. Mc
Gowan’s office no such statement as re
ported in your issue of the 4th, then Mr
Richardson seeks or means to imply
what he knows to be absolutely and
totally untrue.

AN UPRISING IN AUSTRALIA.

CORRESPONDENCE
rh© Suffering of the People Renders Them
Desperate.
Vancouver, B. C., July 11.—People
rat of work are in open rebellion in
iydney and Brisbane, Australia.
The steamship Warrimoo, of the Syd
ney and Vancouver line, just arrived,
brings word that the recent failures of
banks stopped the payments for many
public works.
Contractors and laborers have become
desperate, and, reinforced by trades
people. wno have lost heavily on ac
count of the widespread idleness, com
pel the police to adopt conciliatory
measures in dealing with them.
The flower of the Australian militia
is now in England, where it went to
take part in the ceremonies of the open
ing of the Imperial institute and of the
royal wedding. Hence the rioters are
the more boisterous.
The pursurs of the steamship line
carry gold for all their payments, fear
ing that bank drafts might not be hon
ored in Australia.
The steamers have an urprecfdente.l
number of stowaways, all of whom
were comparatively well to do before
the bank failures. .
Among the Warrimoo’s passengers
was a yonng woman who had been a
teacher in Australia but was reduced to
such straits that she sold nerself for a
passage to this port, hoping to find
some way of getting from here to her
home in England. On landing she wept
piteously. >

A Small Fight.—Yesterday after
noon Major W. B Pruitt and Mr. J.M.
Mabry were in the business offloe of
the Banner, when a dispute arose,
whioh resulted in a tew blows passing.
Major Pruitt threw some «"!«»» at his
assailant, when the latter struck Pruitt
a heavy blow with his first, which
felled him to the floor. Hsjor Pruitt,
in his fall struck his head against the
sharp edge of the Are grate, which re
sulted in a slight wound on the head.
Dr. Coggins came in and dressed Mg).
Pruitt’s wounds and in a little while
all was serene again, and we hope all
bad blood has passed away and that the
gentlemen are as good friends as ever.
