In tbe future.
CLOSES TOMORROW.
The Banner's dot contest will close
tomorrow. We desire to again call at-
tentlon to this contest, editorially, and
we hope many more people will take ad
vantage of this oontest to pay subscrip
tions to this paper during the next
twenty-four hours.
In the oontest which closes tomorrow,
The Banner has offered cash prizes
1,mounting to (60.00, the first, or capital
prize, being £15 00 in cash. In connec
tion with onr cash offer, enterprising
merchants of this city have offered other
handsome prizes amounting to (55 50
making a total of more than one hnn
dred dollars In prizes. These prizes will
be distributed this week. The money
offered by The Banner will buy many a
Christmas present. The prizes offered
by the merchants ore themselves suit
able for Christmas presents that will be
both handsome and substantial.
It most be remembered that it ooets
nothing to enter this oontest. Each dol
lar paid on snbscription to the Daily or
Weekly Banner tomorrow will entitle
the person paying to one guess at the
number of dots in the elephant chart.
The dots can be accurately connted and
those who take the time to do it right
between now and tomorrow night will
stand good chanoes of winning prizes.
Hany dollars are dne The Banner on
snbscription. Now Is a good to pay and
the dot contest certainly offers splendid
inducements. Send in yonr counts to-
morrow.
CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE.
The Banner desires to appeal to the people of this community
.nd the people of Georgia to properly observe Christmas this year
Ten days from tomorrow will be the anniversary of the greatest
• vent in the history of the world—th . birth of our Lord, Jesus
(' rist. *
The people of Athens, the people of Georgia and the whole peo
pie of the civiliz d world should celebrate the event in a manner
tittii'ir its sacredness and solemnity. Prayers should ascend heav
ei ward and hymns should be chanted and theday should be st'ictlv
• I'Served as one of peace and rest .
Unfortunately enough there has been a prevalent custom among
our people so indulge in the use of whiskey quite freely during the
Christmas holidays. There has in the past been too much drunk
enness on the occasion of the anniversary of rhe Prince of Peace.
The Banner hopes, quite sincerely, that this practice will not be
indulged in by any portion of the population of Athens, the Classic
City of the state, or any other portion of the people of Georgia,
this year. This has been one of the treasured barbarisms of our
boasted civilization in the past and it is quite time that, it should
be entirely and absolutely abandoned.
There is more pure joy in the contemplation of the pleasure of
a bright-eyed child with a costless toy than in all the rich vintage
of the champague valleys of Auvergne.
Many a little stocking has been empty Christmas morning be
cause the wearer's father’s head was tilled with this maddening fires
ignited by the use of whiskey. We sound this note of appeal lest
many a little foot will be stockingleBB on Christmas because its
natural provider chooses to spend his money far the luxury of a
season of insanity*. This is a sail and most deplorable condition of
affairs and it is to he hoped that we will live to see the end of such
a practice.
A man feels better, brighter, happier and a great deal more
manly when he is sober. There is absolutely no excuse for drunk
ness at any time, and above all other times, during the Christmas
holidays.
The real joys of Christmas aro usually found in the hearts of
the dear little children If every father in Athens, if every father
in Georgia would only eschew the use of whiskey for two short
weeks, the afterglow of pure delight would be found in the eyes of
every child iu AthenB, of every child in Georgia, after the visit of
old Santa Claus. We appeal to the people of this community, to
the people of Georgia, to let not the trail of tbe nerpen^cgpss the
tracks of Santa Claus’ sleigh this year. When, iu theSf dreams,
the children hear the patter of the reindeer’s feet upon the roof,
let no harsh note, uttered by a drunken fathe r, mar the molody of
the sweet music.
Let’s observe Christmas soberly.

What is CASTORIA
