Local Intelligence and Notices From Athens Georgia

Local notices describe fire department planning for the Firemen's Tournament with Athens women backing the effort and Julia Cohen as chair. Also included are marriage notices, sales, and civic work notes about appointments, goods from New York millinery, a prominent Athens couple surpassing 85 years, and various ads, including ice, paint, and jewelry.

Emory Speer says he can lift friends and aid officers

In a candid interview rep Emory Speer and cousin Eugene Speer deny rumors about the administration. Speer asserts loyalty to Georgia liberalism and Independentism, praises Gen Longstreet, and explains he asked the President to appoint capable officers while protecting patronage for trusted allies. He recalls past support from President Polk and Congressman Ben Hill, insists he never abandoned Independentism, and rejects claims of seeking total control over patronage. A separate note promotes Guilmette French Liver Pads as a cure and includes a local anecdote about an old man’s coffin.
