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. mm bill WILL BE BP THOM Senate Committee Will Hear Arguments on it.

Hi 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 eaa and Diarrhoea Remedy will put yen In condition for the party.' I bought bottle and take pleasure In stating that two doses cured me and enabled me to have a good time at the party. 1 ’ Mr. Snell is a resident of Summer H ill, N. Y.
