PEABODY LIBRARY BUILDING, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

I3 JEbucational Ifnstitutions of the City of Htbens.

The history of Athens, Ga., is replete with interest.

In the month of June, 1801, John Milledge, Abram Bald

win, George Walton, Jolin Twiggs and Hugh Lawson, a

committee appointed to select a site for Franklin College

(now the University of Georgia), bought of Daniel Easley

a large portion of the land upon which the city of Athens

now stands, and in that year was begun the erection of the

first building in this city, the old dormitory building on the

University campus.

That was the beginning of the city of Athens. The one

hundred and two years that have elapsed since that time

have been years of steady effort and unceasing work on

the part of her people, years that have witnessed the growth

from a-mere village to one of the chief cities of a great

state.

During that time Athens has always been the educational

center of Georgia, and in these latter

EDUCATIONAL years has forged to the front as one of

CENTER OF the most progressive commercial and

manufacturing cities in the entire

South. Her history has been one of

proud achievements in every line, and on the roll of her

citizens, dead and living, are to be found the names of

many of the most illustrious of Georgia's sons.

Orawford W. Long, Howell Oobb, Thomas R. R. Cobb,

Benjamin H. Hill, O. A. Lochrane, Joseph Henry Lump-

kin, Henry W. Grady, Young L. G. Harris and a long line

of other distinguished men have in the past added to the

glorious history of this city, and today there is not a com

munity in the country that can boast a better citizenry

than Athens.

To present in a brief but interesting way the story of

Athens and to give the readers of this book a correct idea

as to what the city now is: to tell of the many points of

historic interest in Athens and to convey the information

as to the educational and commercial greatness of the city

this, in brief, is the object of this illustrated hand-book.

Born as she was of the movement to establish an insti

tution in Georgia for higher education,

citizen and stranger. The University of

Georgia was chartered in 1785 by the

general assembly of the state, but was not actually founded

until 1801, when the first building was erected in this city.

It is thus the oldest of all the state universities in this

country, and to the author of its charter, Abrain Baldwin,

belongs the honor of having first given to the people of

the United states a thoroughly planned University system

of education supported by the state.

Since that time it has been the maker of history in the

state of Georgia. It has furnished to the state its leading

preachers, teachers, statesmen, orators, business men.

Upon the affairs of church and state it has left an abiding

impress. Such contributions to the world as Stephens,

Toombs, Hill, Pierce, the Cobbs, the Lumpkins, the Le-

Contes, Palmer, Curry, Long, Grady and scores of others

have placed mankind under lasting obligation to this great

institution.

From the days of Josiah Meigs, first president of Frank

lin College, down the years through the administrations

of Moses Waddell, Alonzo Church, Andrew A. Lipscomb,

Henry H. Tucker, Patrick H. Mell and William E. Boggs,

to the present leadership of Chancellor Walter B. Hill

the story of the University of Georgia has been one of

brilliant achievements.

For the first twenty-two years of its existence the Uni

versity of Georgia had but one build-

was built. It was destroyed by fire in

1831 and was rebuilt the following year. In 1824 the

SCIENCE HALL, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. MOORE COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

Demosthenian Hall was erected with funds raised by the

loyal members of that society, and in 1881 the Chapel

building was added to the equipment of the University.

In 1831 the "Ivy" building, was erected, and in 1834 the

Phi Kappa Hall was built with funds raised largely through

the efl'orts of Alexander H= Stephens, one of its members.

Building on the campus then took a long rest, the next

building to be erected being the Library building in 1859.

Another gap of a quarter of a century followed before

Moore College was built by the City of Athens and pres

ented to the University. Then came another lapse of

twenty-three years until the legislature of Georgia made

the appropriation in 1897 with which Science Hall was

built. In 1901 Candler Hall, the new dormitory, and

Denmark Hall, the new dining hall, were erected with

funds appropriated by the general assembly.

This year two splendid buildings are to be added to the

equipment of the University. Through the generosity of

Sir. George Foster Peabody, of New York, a handsome

$50,000 fire-proof library building is soon to adorn the cam

pus of the University, and with funds appropriated by the

present general assembly the library building and "Ivy"

building are to be enlarged and beautified so as to make

them among the most attractive structures on the campus.

The University of Georgia has within the past few years

taken rapid strides forward until it

courses of instruction offered have

been improved and the faculty enlarged to meet the de

mands for the very best educational service. The Univer

sity of Georgia offers to the youth of the state the very

best advantages, and there is no need for a Georgia boy

going out of his native state to finish his education. The

expenses of the student at the University have been so

reduced by the mess hall plan that a boy can now attend

this institution an entire session at a cost of not more than

$125. The University offers the very best courses of study

in all the academic and literary departments, and the

schools of science afford exceptional facilities. The school of agriculture is being brought, up to the highest standard of efficiency.

Another institution of which Athens is justly proud is

the State Normal School, established in

mer school, and on account of the failure

of the legislature to make the necessary

appropriations it was restricted to sessions of ten weeks

each year and its support was drawn from the University

of Georgia, the Peabody fund and chiefly from the contri

butions of the citizens of Athens. In'-1894 the general

assembly of the state appropriated ten thousand dollars to

the institution and it started upon its career of usefulness

in the spring of 1895.

The State Normal School had a hard road to travel for several years, but all the while it was attracting as its students the teachers in the common schools of Georgia and popularizing itself with the people of the state. Dur ing its eight years of work the State Normal School has had several thousand students and has extended its influ ence and benefits to every county in the state. Each year there are more than one hundered of the one hundred and thirty-seven counties of the state represented on its rolls.

Gradually it has increased the number of its buildings

the Georgia Division of the Daughters of the Confederacy

is now erecting on the Normal School grounds a memorial

to Miss Winnie Davis in the shape of a girls' dormitory

that is to cost when completed the sum of $22,500. Mr.

Peabody has offered to give $10,000 towards the construc

tion of another building there if the state will give $25,000.

many of the leading educators of the

country as the best normal school in

domestic sciences. Its faculty is regarded as the ablest

of all the normal school faculties of the South. For the

sum of $85. the entire expenses of a student for nine

months at this institution can be defrayed, and this has placed the opportunity of a normal training within the

reach of every teacher in the state who is really anxious to

obtain it. President E. C. Branson, who has been at the

head of the State Normal School for the past few years

has brought the work of the institution to the highest standard of excellence and has achieved a success for it

of this institution is Miss Mildred Rutherford, a niece of

Municipal Government anb public Utilities.

In presenting the story of Athens to the world the natlural advantages of the city, her municipal government land her public utilities are deserving of special mention, lln this regard there is no city in the South that can claim
|to be her equal.

Situated within forty miles of the Blue Ridge mountains,

800 feet above the level of the sea, Athens

fesorts of the mountains. The winter season is of brief

luration. There is rarely any very cold weather, and the

jhermometer generally stays above freezing point. The

lean temperature in summer is 74 degrees and in winter

degrees. The annual rainfall is about 52 inches.

been to give the city the very best in

every department of the service. The

city waterworks system is thorough and effective. It was

established by the city in 1892 by the issuing $125,000 of

bonds with which a thoroughly adequate and up-to-date

system was constructed. There are eighteen miles of water

mains and the rate to consumers is low enough to place

the use of water within the reach of all citizens along the

lines of water mains. Recently the city has installed elec

tric machinery at the water works plant, and the use of

the steam plant has been discontinued except in cases of

emergency. This improvement is believed by many to

have been a wise step that, will greatly inure to the city's

good. The water supply is obtained from the Oconee river,

and the water is filtered by the very best method of filter-

ation before it is pumped into the mains. From the city

of Athens to the headwaters of the river there is not a

town or village to pollute the stream. Recently the mayor

and council have greatly beautified the grounds at the

waterworks plant, making the place a very delightful lit

tle resort that is frequently visited by the citizens and

those who are here as visitors.

To the natural drainage facilities of Athens, the city has

added as fine a system of sewerage

pride to the people of Athens. The business section of the city is paved with vitrified brick, the steep grades with the Belgian block and the resi

dence streets with macadam. Visitors to the city declare that there is no better paved city in the South. The work of improving the streets of Athens was done under the supervision of City Engineer Barnett and the street committee of the council. The amountof money expended for this improvement has up to date been some thing over $185,000. There is a decided movement now in favor of the macadamizing of a number of other streets in the city, and this will be done within the next twelve months.

Athens was among the pioneer cities in the country to

own its electric light plant. The city THE ELECTRIC decided a few years since that its light LIGHT SYSTEM, service was costing too much. An

electric light plant was purchased and the first year of municipal ownership demonstrated that the city had saved fully fifty per cent, by the change. The city's lights cost on an average $43.50 per lamp per annum. There are 120 arc lights of 2,000 candle power each in the city. Comparative statistics show that no other city in the state gets as good a service for as little money.
Athens has one of the most effective paid fire depart

ments, and on account of its work in ATHENS FIRE past years the insurance companies DEPARTMENT, have always found the risks in this

city to be far above the average as to safety and profit. The department was organized in 1889 and consists of a chief and fourteen men. The very latest and most improved equipment is supplied the department and the record of the past has been such as to prove that

the members know how to use that equipment to the best affect. The pumpage capacity of the city waterworks is three million gallons per day, and the pressure for fire purposes on the highest elevations in the city is sufficient to protect property under all emergencies.
For peace and good order the city of Athens holds a record of which she may well be proud. Ath-

comes to the question of disorder or crime. Riots have never cast their shadow across this city; the races live alongside each other on terms of friendship and good feeling; the amount of crime in the community reaches the minimum. A great deal of the credit for this superb record is due to the efficient, police force of the city, consisting of a chief, a lieutenant, a
sergeant and twelve patrolmen. The sale of liquor in Athens is under the dispensary system. The Athens Dispensary was

There is no loitering allowed on the premises. There is no drinking allowed on the premises. No sale is made for the purpose of re-sale. No sale is allowed to be made on order. No liquor is shipped on orders to other points. The business cannot be advertised. No sale is allowed to students of the Uni versity of Georgia.

Within a radius of twelve miles of the city are several

good water powers that will furnish splendid motive power

for new industries. Labor in this section is abundant and

the relations between capital and labor are the most ami

is low in Athens and this vicinity. The investor who is

seeking a place for the establishment of a manufacturing

plant would do well to investigate all that Athens has to

offer before making his decision as to a location.

Athens as a business point knows no superior in the

the best distributing points in Georgia.

To carry on the great volume of business in this city it

is necessary to have ample banking facili-

OLD HOME OF MISS MARY HARDEN, Sweetheart of author of " Home, Sweet Home.'

Ipoints of Ifotetonc Ifnterest {Throughout <Tit of Hthens

Athens is a city of beautiful homes and is noted for the

mar;' old houses of ante-bellum architecture. The houses

with their tall columns and spacious verandas are to be

- A\ in every section of the city. There are no less than

twenty of these old Southern residences in this city, and

the}' are viewed with interest by all visitors to Athens.

The modern residences are quite beautiful and attractive

and several of the fashionable avenues of the city have as

fine residences as are to be found in cities much larger

than Athens. In fact Athens possesses advantages and

attractions in the way of homes that are possessed by no

other city in the state.

Many of these Athens residences are historic. Perhaps

the most interesting of all is the house

HOME OF

where Dr. Crawford W. Long, the dis-

DR. C. W. LONG, coverer of anaesthesia lived while a

citizen of Athens. This house is loca

ted on the corner of Prince avenue and Chase street, and

is owned and occupied by Messrs. T. J. and F. 0. Shackel-

ford. Dr. Long discovered the use of sulphuric ether as an

anaesthetic in 1842, while he was a young physician at

Jefferson, Ga., fully three years before the other claimants

to that, honor made their discovery.

Of almost equal interest is the old home of Miss Mary

Harden, which still stands on Hancock

pied by Mr. J. Flatau. Miss Harden was

the sweetheart of John Howard Payne,

author of "Home Sweet Home," and on several occasions

Mr. Payne visited her at her home in this city. On the

occasion of one of his visits to Athens, he gave her the

original copy of that immortal song. The manuscript was

25

just as it was when the author completed the words that

made him one of the immortal poets. This scrap of paper,

that would today command a fabulous sum of money, was

for many years in the possession of Miss Harden, but a few

years prior to her death it disappeared from mortal gaze

and the secret of its final disposition no doubt rests in the

grave of the sweetheart of John Howard Payne in this city.

On the corner of Jackson and Hoyt streets stands a one

story frame building. In that building

BIRTHPLACE was born the state's great orator and

most prominent citizens of Athens, a

merchant and the owner of the Athens Gas Works. The

next year Major Grady moved his family into a building

on Broad street near the corner of Thomas street and after

the death of Major Grady at Petersburg during the civil

war, his widow moved to the residence on the corner of

Prince avenue and Grady avenue where Mrs. L. D. DuBose

now lives. Here it was that the young boyhood days of

Henry Grady were spent, and it is of this house that he

speaks in the New England dinner speech, the house with

tall columns and spacious verandas.

On Hill street near the intersection of that street with

Milledge avenue stands the former

tor to Athens. It is now owned by Mr. J. C. Cooper.

There is still living in the city of Athens the lady for

whom the city of Atlanta was twice

named. The great Georgia metro-

LUMPKIN PLACE, polis was in its earlier years named

Marthasville in honor of Miss Martha

Lumpkin, daughter of the Hon. Wilson Lumpkin, of Ath

ens, who was at that time the governor of Georgia. Sub

sequently it was given the middle name of that lady and

called Atlanta. Mrs. Martha Atlanta Compton lives now

in the old Lumpkin home on the high hill to the west of

Oconee cemetery.

Athens has three of the most historic trees in the entire

country. One of these trees is the

FAMOUS

famous old "Toombs Oak." Thisven-

"TOOMBS OAK." erable tree, which is now at least two

hundred years old, stands on the Uni

versity campus just in front of the chapel building. At least a portion of the old oak is still standing, for all that

has been left from the knawing tooth of time and the

lightning's blast is the trunk, with a few little boughs.

Tradition says that under that tree General Robert Toombs

when a college boy once made a famous speech. He had

been denied the privilege of delivering his junior oration

on the chapel stage on account of some matter of discip

line, and determined to speak in spite of the stern mandate

of the University authorities. He made his speech under

the spreading boughs of the giant oak tree, and it is said

that nearly all the people in the chapel came out to hear

his impassioned burst of oratory. Whether this be true

or a mere tradition, it has nevertheless given the tree the *>

name of the great Georgian and has preserved it from all

harm at the hands of man. When it was thought that the

old oak was dying, fresli earth was placed around its base,

the limbs were trimmed and every precaution taken to

extend the limits of its life. There will never be laid to

its roots the destroying ax as long as life remains within

its aged trunk, and when it finally is levelled to the ground

it will be with the regrets of all Georgians.

Another of the historic trees of Athens is the tree that

owns itself. It stands upon the corner

TREE THAT of Bearing and Finley streets and is

OWNS ITSELF, reached by going out Broad street west

to Finley street, then to the left up the

hill to Dearing street. In the early days of the last cen

tury there lived in Athens Mr. William H.Jackson, father

of the late Chief Justice James Jackson, of the Supreme

Court of Georgia. On a portion of his property there

stood a venerable oak tree under whose shade he had spent

many pleasant hours when a boy. As he grew older his

affection for the old tree increased and he determined that

the ax of the woodsman should never harm it. So he

drew a deed in which was the following language:

"For and in consideration of the great love I bear said

tree (giving its location,) and a great desire that said tree

be protected for all time, I convey to said oak tree entire

possession of itself and all land within eight feet of it on

all sides.' 1 Of course Col. Jackson knew that the deed he

had drawn had no binding effect on anybody, but he had

the foresight to see that his act would insure protection to

the tree for all time. The deed was not recorded, but it'

was seen by a number of the people at that time. The old

tree will never be molested. It holds the title to itself as

firmly as if the deed had a binding effect in law.

Another tree that has a history is the big willow that

stands in the rear of Knox Institute on the

THE

corner of Keese and Pope streets. This

NAPOLEON tree came from a sprig of willow that was

terred and removed to Paris, a number of sprigs were torn from the old willow tree and sent to the French capital. One of these sprigs was presented to Dr. Henry Jackson, a member of thfe American legation, who sent it to the University of Georgia. It was planted in what was then the botanical garden of the University of Georgia and grew to be a large and stately tree. It is said that all the willow trees now in Athens are the offspring of this willow that came from the tree that stood by the grave of the ex iled emperor on St. Helena.

One of the historic spots in Athens is Linton's grove, to the left of Barber street, just inside the city
HISTORIC limits. In this grove, near the large spring, LINTON'S was the favorite place for the holding of GROVE. great political rallies in the days that pre
ceded the civil war. On several occasions great, debates were held there between the giants in the political world of Georgia in those days. Among the great Georgians Avho at different times spoke to the assembled crowds at that place were Howell Cobb, Benjamin H.Hill, Robert Toombs, Alexander H. Stephens and others. In recent years the place has been abandoned as a political rallying ground, but is still used from time to time as a picnic ground.

The first house built in the city of Athens is still stand

ing. It is the old dormitory on the Univer-

practically as sound as it was when it was first erected.

In 1886 its walls were a little weakened in some places by

the earthquake, but they were braced with iron bands and

made as strong as ever. There have been suggestions in

the past that the old building be turned to one side so as

to deepen the University quadrangle, but the general

sentiment has always been in favor of leaving the first

building in the city just as it now is, as long as it will stand.

~. Athens and Olarke county played a most conspicuous part in the ar between the states and sent to the Confederate armic s &e gallant a band of soldiers as ever fought in de fense of liberty. The story of the part played by this city '.<v*d county in that giant conflict would take up the pages 'f many volumes and then be incomplete. Yet there are a few things connected with that history that are of sur passing interest, that deserve a place in history on account of the fact, that they have no equals in all that great struggle.
A notable contribution to the Confederate armies was that of the Bone family. James E.
FAMOUS FAMILY Bone and ""Mildred Bone sent ten CONTRIBUTION, sons into the Confederate service.
These ten sons were Hardeman, Jon athan, James, Sanders, George, Clark, Joseph, William, Matthew and Willis. They were all solders in the army of Northern Virginia. They left their parents, who had already lived to an advanced age, in the care of their sis ters, living on the old Dr. Lee place on the Jefferson road near Athens. They were not blessed with an abundance of the world's goods, and by and by the pinch of poverty began to tell upon them. Mrs. Bone wrote a letter to General Lee, asking that just one of her sons be allowed to return home and make a crop for her. The reply of General Lee soon came. It was written by his secretary at his dictation and was signed in the familiar chirography of the great Confederate chieftain. This valuable letter is now in possession of Miss Dorcas Bone, of this city,-a sister of the ten soldier brothers. It reads as follows :

It was heart-breaking to the old mother, but it was a

tribute to her sons of the highest character, from the great

est of all military leaders. Two of the boys gave up their

lives for the south. Four have since died. Four are now

living, viz., Hardeman Bone, of Forsyth, Ga.; Willis Bone,

of Kentucky: William Bone, of Harmony Grove, Ga.,

and James Bone, of Barnett Shoals, Ga.

Among the interesting war relics in Athens is the famous

almost every paper in America,

pictures of it have been requested

by people living in every section of the world, and hun

dreds of visitors to Athens have gone to the place where it

stands on College avenue just in front of the city hall to

take a look at the rarest curiosity in the city.

This double-barreled cannon, which as has been said is

the only double-barreled cannon in the world, was inven

ted in this city in 1863 by Mr. John Gilleland, a member

of the. Mitchell Thunderbolts, a local military company in

Athens during; the war.

The idea of the inventor was that he would take a chain

lie hundred feet long, attach to each end a cannon ball

and ram the balls into the cannon; when the gun was

fired it was his idea that the chain would stretch taut and

"iuld mow down hundreds of the enemy at once. The

gun was taken out to Linton's woods one day to give it a

test. The first shot was disastrous. One ball got out a

little ahead of the other and the chain was given a circu

lar motion which resulted in the tearing up of a quarter

of an acre of ground. The next time it was tried both

balls got out at the same time and when the slack of the

chain was taken up the balls tore loose from the chain and

went off into space. So the double-barreled cannon proved

to be a failure in every way, and its use as a weapon of

warfare was abandoned. It has been used since on occas

ions of democratic victories, and is now located on the

little park in front of city headquarters where it may be

seen by all who visit the city.

The interesting relics of the Civil War to be found in

Athens are not to be confined to those

INTERESTING mentioned above, but they are so nu-

article is too small to review all of them.

Among the most interesting is the ori

ginal "copy of the constitution o^'the Sonfederate States of

America, just as it was when it came from the committee

before the convention for adoption. This document was

drawn by Thomas R. R. Cobb, chairman of the committee

on constitution, and was presented by him to his daughter,

Mrs. A. L. Hull, of this city. There is also another relic

of surpassing interest in the possession of Justice Andrew

J. Oobb, of the Supreme Court of Georgia, to whom it was

given by his father, General Howell Cobb. It is the gold

pen with which General Cobb signed the constitution of

the Confederate States, as presiding officer of the provis

ional Congress. The ladies of Montgomery presented this

pen to General Cobb for the sole purpose of signing the

constitution, and when he had finished affixing his signa-

1

ture to that document he laid the pen aside in its case and

never used it again. Some of the ink with which the Con

federate constitution was signed dried upon the pen and

can still be seen upon it.

At the intersection of College avenue andClayton street

under the shadow of the new

CONFEDERATE DEAD, to be constructed, stands the

Confederate monument, a

modest marble shaft erected to the memory of the noble

men who illustrated Clarke county upon the battle fields

of the Civil war and gave up their lives in defense of the

rights of their country.

This monument to the Confederate dead was erected with

money raised through the efforts of the noble women of

the community just after the war. Graven into the sides

of the monument are the names of the dead soldiers, who

fell in the many battles of the Civil war. This is the mon

ument ment mentioned in the New England Dinner speech

of the late Henry W. Grady, and on the side facing East

can be seen the name of his soldier father, Major William

S. Grady, who went to the war from this city and who fell

at the battle of the Crater. In Oconee Cemetery is

another monument to the unknown Confederate dead.

This monument, a simple granite shaft, was erected by the

Athens Daughters of the Confederacy,

The Laura Rutherford Chapter of the Daughters of the

Confederacy, organized several years

DAUGHTERS since in this city, has a membership of

OF THE

more than one hundred of the best wo-

CONFEDERACY men in Athens, and they have in the

past done much effective work along

the line of collecting data as to the part played in the Civil

war by the soldiers of Georgia, of keeping alive an inter

est in the traditions and memories of the South, of extend

ing help to the worth}' Confederate veterans, of bestow

ing Crosses of Honor on the veterans of that great strug

gle and of rearing memorials to their memory. This chap

ter has among other things erected a monument to the

36

unknown Confederate dead in Oconee cemetery, conferred

several hundred Crosses of Honor on the veterans of Clarke

and adjoining counties and raised for the' Winnie Davis

Memorial Hall over twelve hundred dollars. The officers

of the chapter are Miss Mildred Rutherford, president;

Mrs. M. W. Stovall, first vice president; Miss Basinger,

second vice president; Mrs. T. "W. Reed, recording secre

tary; Mrs. J. Z. Hoke, corresponding secretary; Mrs. W.

J. Peeples, treasurer; Mrs. Billups Phinizy, registrar; Miss

Mildred Rutherford, historian; Miss Fannie Mitchell, as

sistant historian.

To a daughter of Athens belongs the honor of having or

iginated the beautiful and sig-

THE

nificant custom of conferring

SOUTHERN

Crosses of Honor upon the veter-

CROSS OF HONOR, ans of the Confederacy. In .Fuly

1898, while attending the reunion

of the Confederate veterans in Atlanta, Mrs. Alexander

S. Erwin, of this city, a daughter of General Howell Cobb,

conceived this idea, and later on a resolution, drawn by

Mrs. Erwin, was passed by the Georgia Division of the

Daughters of the Confederacy and by the United Daugh

ters of the Confederacy giving force and effect to this idea.

Since then thousands of these Crosses of Honor have been

bestowed upon the worthy old veterans and thousands more

will be bestowed in the years to come. The first Southern

Cross of Honor was bestowed upon Judge Alexander S.

Erwin, husband of the originator of the custom. The

cross is of bronze with the Confederate battle flag in

raised work on one side, and around the flag a wreath of

laurels. On the reverse side is a shield inscribed "Deo

Vindice" and the years 1861--1865, U. D. C. to U. C. Y.

Some Belibtful IDrives ITn IReiabborboob of

In the vicinity of Athens there are a number of beauti

ful drives, and the visitor to the city can always find pleas

ure in availing himself of the opportunity to drive over

the many lovely sections of the county.

One of the most delightful drives is out the Jefferson

road to the west of the city. In this

DELIGHTFUL direction the famous Gum Springs may

DRIVES NEAR be visited. The drive out the Mitchell's

THE CITY.

Bridge road to the plant of the Athens

Electric Street Railway Company is

quite pleasant. The drive out the Tallassee road to Tallassee

shoals where the big electric power plant is located is also

one of the most pleasant, drives in the county.

In a northern direction one may drive to Helicon Springs

in an hour. In a southern direction a favorite drive is out

Milledge avenue, along the road to Whitehall and back by

the way of East Athens. The drives to Crawford, Lexing-

ton and Smithonia are also very much enjoyed.

The county roads in Clarke county are all in splendid

condition, which makes the driving over them quite en

joyable. It will not be more than two years until all the

main country roads will be macadamized.

In the line of amusements, Athens has a splendid opera

house, at which during the theatrical season

lighted by electricity and is one of the most

attractive opera houses in the state. The

manager, Mr. H. J. Rowe, is one of the most capable and

successful opera house managers in the south and his man

agement of the Athens Opera House has been such as to

give to Athenians the opportunity of seeing the very best

attractions on the road.

-COSMOS^ PICTURES'
Wishes every school teacher in Georgia to be ac quainted with its pictures and to realize their value in school work. They are used in hundreds of schools al ready. All grades use them. We have words of high commendation along the whole line from the Kinder garten to the lecturer on Art in the University. The pictures are used in class-work giving new meaning to History, Geography, English and all subjects in the teaching of which pictures have a place, and they are used for wall decoration and for prizes.
The Cosmos Pictures are superior to all other low-cost reproductions. They are so good that they are already imitated. Notice our trade-mark, the Cosmos flower,-- the petals spelling the name. AH genuine Cosmos Pictures have this flower in the lower left-hand corner.
We have many Popular Pictures--cats, dogs and horses, we have Series Subjects,--Madonnas and many religious and sacred pictures, we have patriotic Pic tures,--portraits of Washington and views in .his life, other Presidents and other pictures relating to the his tory of the United States. We have many scenes of Foreign travel and many pictures and sculptures from the famous galleries of Europe. We have many pictures which illustrate literary subjects, such as portraits of Burns, Dickens, Lowell, Hawthorne and their homes, and many others. The Cosmos Pictures cover all fields, as an examination of our illustrated catalogues (sent to anyone for 6 cents in stamps) will convince you.
We are always glad to have teachers visit our show room at 296 BROADWAY, New York, where \ve have many framed pictures on exhibition- and are glad to show the new pictures we are constantly adding to our list.
Mr. D. W. McGregor, of Athens, Ga., is one of our regular agents and he carries a large line of our goods. We advise all teachers to call and see these pictures.

Athens is well supplied with churches and a large percent age (fL her citizens are members. The oldest church in the city is j^e Presbyterian church, which was founded in 1820. Ita . pastor was Rev Moses Waddell and its pas tors from that 'r to the present time have been Dr. Nathan Hoyt, Dr. 'urkhead, Dr. 0. W. Lane and Dr. J. W. Walden. Thr membership of the church is at present about four hundred.
The First "".ethodist church was founded in 1824. Rev. Lovick Pierce, father of Bishop George F. Pterce, was &r ng the first pastors at this.church. Many of the most distinguished Mefhodist divines have served this charge in the past. The preacher in charge at this time is Dr. Isaac o. Hopkins. Tlie membership of this church is about eight hundred and fifty.
Oconee street Methodist, church was founded in 1870 and its first pastor was Rev. W. F. Simmons. This church has recently erected a new building on the eastern side of the Ocone.e river. Rev. M. H. Eakes is the preacher in charge. The membership is about five hundred.
The First Baptist church was founded in 1830. Dr. Shannon was its first pastor. Dr. W. H. Young, the pres ent pastor has been in charge of this church for the past eight years. In 1898 the present handsome church edifice was erected. The membership of this church is about four hundred.
The East Athens Baptist church is of much more recent origin. Its pastor is Rev. Willie Saye, and under his pas torate the church has received quite a large number of ac cessions to membership.
Emmanuel Episcopal church was organized in 1843 during the time Bishop Elliot was presiding over the Episcopal diocese of Georgia. The first rector was Dr. Stevens, then

Dr. Henderson, then Dr. Drysdale, Dr. Ingle, Dr. J. C.

Davis, Rev. R. M. W. Blaek and the present, rector Rev.

Troy Beatty. This year the handsome new church edifice

on Prince avenue was consecrated. The membership of

this church is about one hundred and fifty.

The Christian church was organized here in 1882 and

the present building was erected in 1884. The first pastor

was Rev. L. D. Ridgeway. The present pastor is Rev.

Ashford B. Reeves. The church has a membership of

more than one hundred and twenty-five.

The Hebrew congregation was organized in this city in

1870. For several years the services were conducted by

two la}- members, Messrs. Gabriel Jacobs and David

Michael. The present Rabbi is Dr. I. A. Rubenstein.

The Catholic church has a small but enthusiastic mem

bership. The Catholic church is situated on Prince av

enue and regular services are held there once a month,

conducted by a visiting priest.

The Bessie Mell Industrial Home is the greatest chari

table institution in the city. It was con-

BESSIE MELL ceived in the brain and heart of the late

INDUSTRIAL Mrs. Bessie Rutherford Mell, who called

HOME,

to her assistance a number of the best

women in the city and succeeded in ef

fecting an organization that has been most effective in

every way. That was in 1889, and the name of the organi

zation was at first the Athens Industrial Home. After

the death of Mrs. Mell it was given its present name in

her honor. The Industrial Home, through the generosity

of the old Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company, Dr. Andrew

A. Lipscomb and scores of others secured enough money

to purchase and equip the building which now stands on

the corner of Washington and Thomas streets, and at that

place the splendid work of the Home is conducted. The

Home disburses charity among the needy of the city, gives

attention and relief to the sick, provides work for the in

dustrious and worthy women in the city, who had rather

work than beg, and in numerous ways carries cheer and

comfort to the hearts of the lowly and the distressed. It

is assisted in its work by the city of Athens to the amount

of twenty-five dollars a month and has a number of hon

orary members ammig the gentlemen in the city. Miss Mildred Rutherford is the able and beloved president of the Industrial Home and she is assisted by a corps of thor

oughly devoted officers. The Hebrew Ladies* Benevolent Association is another
of the worthy charitable organizations of the city, and has done a great deal of effective relief work. Mrs. M. G.

Michael is president of this organization.

) Although there are few deaths, relatively speaking, in this city, there has nevertheless been pro-

OCONEE HILL CEMETERY,

vided one of the loveliest cemeteries to be found anywhere. Oconee Hill Cemetery was set apart as a burial ground in 1859 and is under the control and and manage

ment of a board of trustees of which Mr. F. W. Lucas is president. Recently the city made a purchase of eighty acres of land and added it to the cemetery. Oconee Hill Cemetery is beautifully located. The older portion is lo
cated on the Western side of Oconee river and is densely wooded. The new portion on the Eastern side of the river is without many trees. In the spring the cemetery is one

of the most beautiful spots in Athens and is frequented by hundreds of citizens and visitors. In this burial ground rest the remains of many of the most distinguised sons of

Georgia.

A FINAL WORD AS TO ATHENS.
There are numerous other interesting features connected with this city, of which it would be proper to speak if space permitted. The recounting of the great institutions of the city, however, would be incomplete without men tion of the Southern _lLujLua.l._Iusju.rance.__Coinpany. This company was organized in Athens more than fifty years ago, has now assets to the amount of one million dollars, pays annual dividends to its policy-holders of sixty to sev enty-five per cent, and carries more than twenty-five mil lions of dollars risks in Georgia.
The city of Athens looks with all confidence to the fufure. With the new federal building that is to cost $100,000 and the new city hall now being erected at a cost of $50,000; with the new Peabody Library building and other handsome public buildings; with scores of residences going up; with new manufactories springing up on all sides; the present is exceedingly prosperous and the future is bright with promise.
