BANNER.
iRNING, DECEMBER 9. 1902.
*5.00 A YEAR.
A movement Is on foot to secure funds
for a new dormitory building for the
Lucy Oobb lustitnte.
This statement will be received with
great interest by the many friends of
this splendid institution in every part of
Georgia, and many will count it a privi
lege to contribute, in one way or an-
other, to the success of such a movement.
Mrs. Hoke Smith, who is one of the
Staunchest friends of the Lucy Cobb In
stitute in Georgia, telephoned The Ban
ner yesterday that she had had the mat
ter under consideration for some time
and that Bhe had decided to go right
ahead toward securing the necessary
fund for the building. To this end
-Little Lord Kauntleroy,” the beautiful
child's play that was so enthusiastically
received in Atlanta last week, and from
which snch a neat Bum waB realized,
will be presented to the people of Ath
ens at the New Opera HouBe either this
or next week. The proceeds, above
the expenses of the people who will
come from Atlanta to put the play
on here, will go to the fund for the
new Lucy Cobb dormitory. Mrs. Smith
is very hopeful that a few thousand dol
lars can be secured for this purpose
without any deal of trouble. The date
for the presentation of -Little Lord
Fanntleroy” will be announced through
The Banner tomorrow or next day.
The Lucy Oobb Institute is in splen
did condition at this time. Under the
splendid management and leadership of
Miss Mildred Rutherford this institu
tion is growing as few other female col
leges In the south are. The present dor
mitory is tilled to its capacity and there
is great need of additional room for
boarding dupils,
The Banner will pledge its own sup
port to snch a movement, and this pa
per bolieves that the surport of the
whole people of Athens, who feel such
pride in the Lucy Cobb Institute, can
readily be secured in the matter.

The Athens Compress is about as
busy a place as can be found in Athens
just now. The work has been very
heavy there all the season and the bus
iness for the present season is beyond
that of any of its predecessors.
A large percentage of the cotton that
in former years was shipped to Augusta
and compressed there is now being com
pressed in this city. President lincker,
of the Athens Compress Company, is
well-pleased with the bnsinees of this
season,
The cotton receipts of Athens for the
present season will reach 75,000 bales,
the number being approximately the
same as last season’s receipts.
The Banner’s dot contest will close

Already several hundred answer* have
been sent in and there is a very wide
difference in them. There is still ample
room for accurate counters, and somtof

His Position.
Mr. W. A. Jester was one of the most
active opponents of the amendments re
ported favorably by the oommlttse on
corporations of the house of represent*
lives, to the Athena dispensary law.
Mr Jester, in a signed statement to Tbs

ger for the season of 1903. These were i
Messrs Fsrt Scott, of Atlanta; Max |
Mlohael, of Athaai; Joe Hall, of Ath
ens, and Wallace Miller, of Macon. Oue
of these gentlemen will be elected to
the managership of the team by the
athletio council today.
The method of election Is os follows :
The Athletio Association names as many
candidates as it tees fit, a student eligl
bility to election by getting the votes cf
25 members of the association. The
names of the men thns selected are
brought before the alhletic council,
composed of the lnoomlng captain of the
football team, the coach, athletic dtreo
tor and three members of the faculty,
who make a selection from those thns
presented for consideration.
The men mentioned above are In every
respect worthy of election to the man
agership and the selection of any of
them will assure the positions being
well filled.
The International Doll Collection,
composed of the handsomest and oostli-
est dolls of all the nations of the world,
now on (xhlbition at the Villa cottage
in this city, did good business yesterday,
A large number of people saw the splen
did collection yesterday, the opening
day, and all were well pleased with the
exhibition.
The hoars for seeing this great oolleo-
tion are as follows : From 10 a, m. to
2 :30 p. m.. and from 5 :30 p. m. to 5 p.
m. A small admission price of 15 cents
is charged for adults and 10 cents for
children. Hot chocolate is served at
10 cents per cap. The fands arising from
this splendid edncaattonal exhibit will
be appropriated to the Winnie Davis
Memorial hall.
Many of tha dolls in this collection
can never be duplicated, being the only
ones In existence and obtained nnde
great difficulties from the interior of
countries where only native dolls can be
fonud and that rarely, as the days of
making native dolls have passed, the
manufactured ones of Germany and
Franoe having taken their places. In
dian tribes, and natives of the interior
of all countries, for many reasons, ara
very loathe to part with a doll belonging
to them.
No description oan give an idea of the
collection, it most be see* to be apprq-
emted. Its snooeea bas been phenomenal,
and has traveled thousands of miles
each year, and earned thousands of dol
lars for charities to which it has been
loaned, regardless of creed.
A doll representing The Athens Ban
ner will be added to the collection today
and will be on exhibition here the rost
of the week, after which It will be seen

sad death of one of onr most beloved

teacher and classmates, bnt now his
manly form and cheerful vnioe ls stilled

remedy is for sale by all druggists.
First, the whiskey should be bought
through sealed bids wbioh would ex
elude all rebates.
Second, all barrel goods shonld be
received in a separate room from ths
dispensary, analyzed, bottled and price
put on each bottle. Then sent Into the
dispensary and charged to It, and the
dispensary clerk receipt for all goods re
ceived
Then the salesman shonld be held re
sponsible under bond for all goods re
ceived. Every few months, stock shonld
be taken which would be easily done as
there wonld be no broken packages, and
he wonld be required to account for
every package or money for the same.
It seems tb me that all clerks, then
with this plan, could be exhonorated
from any criticism by having either
the money or liquors on hand.
A. J. Snell wanted to attend a party,
bnt was afraid to do so on account of
pains in his stomach, whloh he feared
would grow worse. He says, “I was
telling my troubles to a lady friend
who said: ‘Chamberlain's Colic, Choi

two doses cured me and enabled me to
