........................................................
liant with holiday goods and
decorations, the city breathes
the atmosphere of Christmas
time.
From Spalding, Pike, Lamar,
Pike, Meriwether, Fayette, Butts,
Henry, Coweta and Monroe coun
ties the merry gift buyers are
invading the city.
Praise of the wonderful stocks
of Christmas' merchandise carried
by Griffin merchants and the un
usual values to be found here is
to be heard on every hand.
Probably never before m Its
history has Griffin been so abun
dantly supplied with goods suit
able for holiday gifts.
On top of that, the backward
winter weather has kept goods
on the shelves that ordinarily
would have sold before now with
the results that most of the mer
chants are reducing their prices
sharply in order to move these
goods. These reductions have been
extensively advertised with the
result that they have
drawn to the city hundreds of
buyers anxious to take advantage
of the savings.
The large department stores of
Griffin are enjoying exceptional
business and predict that all rec
ords will be broken before Christ
mas, and all smaller stores are
enjoying a gratifying trade.

Atlanta, Dec. 19.—Up to this
date the state treasury has paid
out more money on appropriations
and state government operating
expenses than in any December in
a good many years—and the old
state isn’t broke yet.
The total payments made by the
treasury up to date for December
has been $1,350,000 for all pur
poses, including payments made
to the various state departments.
Last year, for the total month of
December, the total paid out by
the treasury was $858,000.
Large Items.
Among the larger items includ
ed in the total payments made
this month, are: Pension warrant
$4,000; state sanitarium on reg
ular, appropriation $91,786; for
advertising constitutional amend
ments $.135; to town and city
school systems $96,770; to county
school systems $$78,230 (this pay
ment is exactly 15 per cent of the
total 1924 appropriation of $4,-
500,000 and larger than ever be
fore paid at this time of year);
state sanitarium, special on nurses
home appropriation, $20,311; pen
sion department from stamp tax
fund for veterans $290,140; Uni-
versity of Georgia and bronchos
Books Close Saturday.
The treasury will close the
books on registered bonds Decem
ber 20, as is customary, in order
to compile the interest figures
and make up the checks by the
first of the year.
Early in the new year some
further rather heavy payments
will fall due, the heaviest coming
in February and March, when ap
proximately $3,000,000 of dis
counted school warrants will fall
due. The funds for meeting those
payments are in the visible in
come and will be available when
the paper is due.
Lies are like rocks that are
submerged at high tide; the ebb
exposes them. m
