Sir. Albeit Henley of Athens,
was in town Tuesday on legal busi
ness He gave the Observer aso
cial call in company with Judge
Ilill.
The sociable at Judge Hill's
Thursday night, was one of much
pleasure to all present Good
music and sweet converse by the
boys to the girls, mingled with dif
ferent plays was the pass-time.
In this issue appears the adver
tisement of the A.thenf Book.iStore
of D. W. McGregor & Cos. When
in Athens and in need ot anything
in this line, it will be to your in
terest to call on this firm.
Read the advertisement in this
issue of E. E. Jones 209 Broad St.,
Athens, This is an old established
firm in the hardware line. Stoves
of all makes and kinds at low fig
ures When in the city call.
Mr. M C. Fagerts announces to
the voters that he is a candidate
for county treasurer. He says he
is old and needs the office—can’t

body beat him counting money.
While in Athens last week it
was (he pleasure of the publisher
to make his usual call at the Ban
ner-Watchman office. Maj. Pru
itt and Mr Brumby were holding
down the editorial force. They re
port business in a good condition.
One of Maysville’s citizens was
over here last week. He says
there are some improvements go
ing on here —ho saw a house being
covered. If he had looked round
he might have found several watch
esthat needs repairs.
Would it not be a good idea to
have Homer incorporated? Elect
a board ot council. Have by-laws
of town ordinance; all tines be paid
into the town treasury. This
would put her streets in a better
condition and tho town would
present a better appearance, and
be more respected, It is shameful
to go of! and listen to outsiders be
mean the place: Call it “coon-hol-
low,” “two stores and a black
smilhshop," etc. You that have
property, how do you ever expect
to make anything out of it, with
out putting a stop to this?
A petition can be easily gotten
up and sent to Mr. Coggins, asking
that town limits (any distance you
may desire) of Horner bt incorpor
ated. Homer is the county cite of
Banks, and it does look like she
ought to predominate in a more
respectable manner over her neigh
boring towns of - l coo n-hide-trade
and trdli •” surroundings.
Let the citizens go to work and
prove to the stranger and t he world
that Horner is the county cite of
Banks and does respect iho honor
conferred upon her in years past,
aud will predominate over the coun
ty as its leader.
