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.

G. J. A MEALOR, Sec'ty. 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 Mto wnameut. at#-* #»tvi£*ityot Georgtv .lpUkwtocr &a monument to .the generous and nbtjBT heart of George Foster Peabody, a bril liant son of the Empire State of the South. 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.
