ATHENS.


Clarke County -- A. Br. Ga R. R.


This charming little city is the county seat, and is located near the centre of the county. Incorporated as a town in 1806. Its growth has not been a rapid one, and when chartered as a city in 1872, 4,500 was probably a liberal estimate of its population. Since then it has in- creased to considerably more than 6,000. Built on both sides the Oconee river, on high rolling land, with handsome residences, well kept grounds tastefully laid out and beau. tified, noble public edifices, extraor- dinary educational advantages, with a refined and intellectual population, it is unsurpassed as a place of resi- dence. It is the terminus of the Athens Branch Ga. R. R., connect. ing at Union Point, 49 miles distant, with the main line, and the initial point of the N. E. R. R., connecting with the Piedmont A -1. Ry. at Lula,

39 miles distant, in a northwester'y direction. It is 135 miles from At lanta by the former and 104 by the latter route. The city is governed by a mayor and eight aldermen, the election occurring the first Wednes- day of each year. Has a well orga- nized fire department and several secret organizations. The Oconee river, with the Barnett, Tallahassee and many other shoals, affords almost unlimited water power, and manufactures, now considerable, will no doubt increase rapidly. There are now three cotton factories in the vicinity-the Athens, Georgia and Princeton-with over 400 looms and 1,500 spindles, and which consumes about 6,000 bales of cotton annually. The Athens Foundry and Machine Works, paper mill and other indus- tries of minor importance. There is a merchant' exchange, two banks, gas-works, cotton compres, three weekly newspapers-Southern Ban- ner, Wally Chronic'e and Southern Watchman-and a monthly pulica- tion -- The S uthern Cultivator. There are eleven churches-two Baptist (one colored), three Methodist (one colored), two Episcopal, Presbyte- rian, Primitive Baptist. Catholic, and Hebrew Synagogue. The Frank- lin College - State University of Georgia-was located here in 1802, and in 1872 the State College of Ag- riculture and the Mechanic Arts was established, with Law School in con- nection, Medical Department at Au- gusta and North Georgia Agricultu ral College at Dahlonega.
