THE ATHENS RE PUB LI Q 0 E
A sentence more wise than this was nev
er spoken by human lips, for the idea it
expressed lies at the very foundation of
all material, intellectual and spiritual
progress of a nation; and without it no
true national greatness can ever be at
tained.
• This fact is becoming more and more
generally recognized by all civilized na
tions, and much interest is being mani
fested by the public generally in the ef
forts that are being made to stamp out
disease, improve the public health, and
increase longevity?
Physicians generally are teaching
their patients the value of observing the
various common rules of hygiene and
sanitation an 1 personal cleanliness; and
yet the majority, the great majority have
not yet learned to appreciate the fact
that an unclean mouth is most
if not the most prolific, source of dan
ger to the health of the individual of
which we have any knowledge.
Dr. Oster in a recent address before
the stu tents of the Royal Central Hos
pital of London, said, “You have just
on • gospel to preach and you have got
to preach it late in season and out of
seasou. It is the gospel of the mouth:
cleanliness of the teeth; cleanliness cf
throat. These three things must be
your text through life.”

What two widows have dissolved their
spat (one of those occurances in the
temple of courtship like p cataract in
the course of a river) into the revival of
love and affection? The weekly visit is
looked forward to as in former months.
Perhaps some one in Greensboro can
tell.
A tall, graceful young chevalier, who
is frequently seen with Miss at

Sunday night at church time. We won
der what had drawn him down in that
section?
A certain young professor, of the“ Art
Pieservative” has for many weeks had
the exclusive pleasure 1 of courting a
young woman also of the professional
realm. During those weeks, making
the Harris Drug Store his haven, he
would soon be seen making his way leis"
uiely to the habitation of his fiancee.
To the show
They would go,
Wandering to and fro—
Wherever lovers may.
But lo!the scene has changed! A
knightly lad, “to the manner born,”
whose vicissitudes during the past two
years include attendance upon the
Plattsburgh (New York) Camp, an in
stitution second in military tactics only
to the renowned West Point, returned to
the city a short time ago. Soldier like, he
set out at once to reclaim this mademoi
selle of his school days —and succeeded.

Stork tracks are seen early in the
morning in the section west of Milledge.
Sometimes they are seen in Billups
street and again a few of them appear
in Reese street indicating the apparent
journey of the distinguished bird to

has been appointed by residents with
the hope that he will discover what this
long-legged fellow is up to.
