THE ATHE
ESTABLISHED 1832.
ATHENS, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1902.
$5.00 A YEAR.
THE DOT CONTEST
ENDSTOMORROW.
Ont of Several Hundred Answers Received by The
Banner Very Few are the Same and it is Evident
That Some Careless Counting and Reckless
|Guessing Has Been Going On.
In The I!inner', gTeat dot contest I
which closes tomorrow at midnight
several hundred answers have heen re
ceived and the variety ot numbers sent
in indicate that a large number of the
contestants have been doing some care
less counting and some reckless guess
ing.
The numbers that have sent in range
from 8.460 to 1,000, the former being
the lowest number received and
t he laiter being the highest number re
ceived. About thirty per cent of the
numbers, however, range between su
and seven thousand. Very few are
alike and where we find two alike on
one number there are two or three alike
on another number two or three hnn
dred numbers away from the others.
It is evident that the earlier participants
in the contest did not count as carefully
as they should have. The Banner has
impressed the necessity lor careful and
accurate counting from the beginning
of the* contest but it is evident that
many, in their desire to be among the
first in, made wild guesses and perhaps
many did not even attempt to count the
dots at all.
Answers have come from every county
in the Eighth Congressional district and
several from counties in other districts.
This shows the general interest that has
been manifested in the contest. The
prizes offered to the amount of more
than one dollars have proven very at
tractive to many new as well as many
old subscribers.
In the former dot contest conducted
by The Banner out of about two hun
dred guesses only two correct answers
were received These were sent in by
Messrs. F. G. Umbaoh and A. L. Mitch
ell. Judge Mitchell got the second
prize which was $10 00, his answer be
ing sent in about five days before the
contest closed, there being more than a
hundred answers in ahead of him.
These are interesting facts to all who
have net Bent in answers and to those
who have already sent in answers who
care to count the dots again and try to
be more accurate than before.
Tomorrow is absolutely the last day of
the contest. All answers in before uiid
night tomorrow will be counted and the
distribution of prizes will occur about
Wednesday or Thursday.
Don’t count the dots today but be
■nre to coant them tomorrow and send
in your answers as eaily tomorrow as
possible. See the advertisement with
the handsome prize list on another page
of this issue.

"Nathan Hale” is said In be Clyde

of admirable genre. All of his imper

and in "Nathan Hale” has exemplified
it beyond question. He is exceedingly
versatile, his comedy scenes are played

THINK HARD.
It P»i to Think About Food.
The unthinking life some people lead
often causes sickness and trouble, as
illustrated in the experience of a lady
who resides in Fon Du Lac, Wis.
"About four years ago 1 suffered dread
fully from indigestion, always having
eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of
the diegestible qualities This iudiges
tion caused palpitation of the heart so
badly I could not walk up (light of
stairs without sitting down once or
twice to regain breath and strength.
I became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my close very loose, and many
other remedies, bat found no relief
Hearing of the virtues of Grape-Note
and Poetnm Food Ooffee, I commenced
nsing them in place of my usnal break
fast of coffee, cakes or hot bisouit, and
in one week's time I was relieved of
■cor stomach and other ills attending
indigestion. In a month's time my
heart was performing its functions nat
urally and I coaid climb stairs and hills
and walk long distances.
I gained ten pounds in this short time
and my skin became clear and I com
pletely regained my health and strength
I continue to nse Grape-Nuts and
Postum for I feel that I owe my good
health entirely to their nse. I like the
delicious flavor of Grape-Nats and by
making Poetnm acoording to directions,
it cannot be distinguished from the
highest grade of coffee.” Name given;

Mr. Willis their managing salesman
and decorator has an established repo
tation in artistic work only surpassed
by the high quality of merchandise
handled by his firm.
The Bhoe window arrauged this time
by Joe Turner is novel and beautiful,
filled with dozens of the finest styles,
made by Hanau, Clapp, Florshtim and
Crosset, for men, Dalter, Sorosis,
Bering, The Ripley for ladies, and the

The umbrella window is without
donbt the mOBt unique and original ever
constructed here.
It is filled with hundreds of lovely
and costly umbrellas, ranging as high
as $15.00 each.
The ready to wear window contains
carriage robes, opera cloak, Monte
Carlo coats, Fine Tailored Suits, Rich
Furs, Chiffon Boas and many tempting
novelties. Messrs Turner & Hoclgscu
and their force of forty-six assistants are
a credit to Athens as they would like
wise be to any city in this country.

Some of the oldest machinery In Ath
ens went to the junk pile yesterday.
Several of the machines purchased by
the late Albon Chase at the organization
of the Pioneer Paper Mill Company be
fore the Civil war, were bought yester
day by the Georgia Junk Company, of
this city, as they had served their time
and were of no further use except for
scrap iron.
It is probable that these old machines
are the oldest pieces of machinery now
in Athens.

The general assembly ot Georgia hav
ing met the requirements of the offer of
Mr George Foster Peabody to build a
$50,000 library building on the campus
of the University of Georgia making an
appropriation of $32,600 a year for two
years to that institution, nothing re
mains now but for the building to be
erected.
This will be attended to at onoe. It
is understood to be the desire of Mr.
Peabody that the new library building
shall be completed by next commence
ment. Steps looking to the establish
ment of that desired end will be taken
at once.
To do this will require plenty of work,
but money and men can accomplish
great things when they are supplied in
advance. The proper authorities will
at an early date decide upon the loca
tion of the bnilding and upon its plana.
It has only been discussed in a gen-
, eral way, but it seems to meet with the
approval of all that the new library
bnilding be ereoted on the corner of
Broad and Jackcon streets just in front
of the National Bank, and it will in all
probability be located there.
As to the plans for the new structure
it has not yet been determined what
kind of a building is to be ereoted, be-
yood the foot that it is to be used solely
as a library bnilding. 8everal arobiteots
have already submitted plans and oth
ers will do so between now and the time
they are to be decided upon.
The new library bnilding will be a
perfect beauty and will stand not only

IT IS IMPOETANT
To Know What You arc Taking When Using
Catarrh nadlcloes.
Catarrh is the short route to consump
tion, and the importance of early aqd
jndicions treatment of catarrh, whether
located in the head, throat or Bronchial
tabes cannot be too strongly empha
sized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered, nnmerons and
confusing, from sprays, inhalers,
washes, ointments, and salves to pow
ders, liquids and ^ablest.
The tablet form iB undoubtedly the
most convenient and most effective, bnt
with nearly all advertised catarrh rem
edies it is almost entirely a matter of
guess work as to what you are taking
into yonr system, as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medioines will do, always
keep it a close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh onre, Stuart’s Oatanh Tab
lets, is largely because it not only curee
catarrh bnt because catarrh sufferers
who use these tablets know what they
are taking into their systems. Stuart's
Catarah Tablets being oomposed of Red
Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable
and antlseptio ingridlents, and are pleas
ant to the taste and being dissolved in
the month they take immediate effeot
upon the mocions lining of the throat,
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract.
The cares that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished In old chronic
oases of catarrh are little short of re
markable, and the advantage ot know
ing what you are patting into your
stomach,is of paramount importance
when it Is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result of using secret
catarrh remedies.
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, be-
cappo their antlseptio character render
them perfectly. Bate for the general pub-
lie to nse and their composition . make*
them a common sense cure for all form*
of oaj^arriwittqebir*.
