DAY TO PAY COUNTY
AND STATE TAX
County Tax Collector W. A. Mallory
and his assistant, Mr. Burch, were
busy men yesterday. Yesterday was
the last day allowed by law for the
collection of state and county taxes.
The office of the collector was almost
as busy a place as the post office. The
line of tax-payers was easily handled,
however, for Mr. Mallory has a sys
tem of work which saves time and ac
commodates many in a short time.

and with him was taken also Giles

saw in the act of disorder, as he be

transpired, from the statement of
Watson, that Hill had slipped his
hand into a hip pocket of Watson and
slipped a purse out of the pocket.
Watson had slipped his hand around
behind himself and detected the pock
et-picking. He had grabbed at the
hand that offended but it slipped from
his grasp. He seized the coat tail of
hill, however. But the coat slipped
from Hill and was left, like the fa

Watson pursued Hill, overtook him

There are hundreds of people in
Athens who were not the least bit
surprised when they read in the Ban
ner that iH. R. Palmer & Sons are
selling Mi-o-na on a guarantee to re
fund the money in case it did not re
lieve. This remarkable dyspepsia
remedy will relieve the worst case of
indigestion, headache, dizziness, or
the general played-out condition that
afflicts every one suffering with stom
ach trouble. Mi-o-na does not simply
relieve, it alms to cure.
H. R. Palmer & Sons can tell you
of many well known people In this
city who this remedy has restored to
health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment
with little or no benefit. No other
dyspepsia remedy has made so large
a percentage of cures as Ml-o-na. It
Is so large that H. R. Palmer & Sons
stand ready to refund the price to
any customer whom It does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in Athens today
praising Mi-o-na because it does what
It is advertised to do. A few months
ago they could .eat nothing without
wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mi o-na, they eat what
they want and when they want with
no fear of suffering.

Wave of Thriving
Begins in Atjh |
iFrom reports to the police\ a
past few days it would seem a
wave of stealing and thieving and
house-breaking is about to break over
the city of Athens. The officers will
keep an extra vigilant and vigorous
outlook for these things and try to
stop the practice before it grows to
larger proportions.
The Southern Railway station mis
broken open early Sunday morning
and a small amount of small change
was taken from the cash drawer. The
burglars effected an entrance, it is
said, by breaking a glass in the door
and reaching in to unlock it from the
inside. Blood was found on the glass
and the burglar must have injured
himself in the attempt. .The cash
drawer was taken, to a rise near the
Texas Oil Company's place, not far
from the station, rifled and left, there.
A bicycle was stolen late Sunday or
Sunday night from a son of City Clerk
and Treasurer W. L. Wood.
Mr. Geo. Mell, city auditor, had a
fine umbrella stolen from him Satur
day or Sunday. ,
Unknown parties- entered the res
idence of Mr. E. H. Dorsey on Mil-
ledge avenue, early Sunday morning,,
effecting an' entrance from the rear
door. The family were aroused, 'how
ever, and nothing was missed from
the home.
