Electric gifts bring Christmas cheer
That lingers on throughout the year.
For usefulness and beauty rare '
None with them can compare.
Electric breakfast while you eat,
Without arising from your seat.
Steak, eggs, toast, without a waiter,
And coffee in the percolator.
For luncheon or for midnight bites
Electric cooking ware delights.
A flameless chafing dish, say we;
A samovar for perfect tea.
At dead of night, when baby wakes,
Don’t grumble at the time it takes
To warm his food, just turn the switch
And it is warmed without a hitch.

Santa Claus Advance Man Bill- .
ing the City From End to Center
The advance man for the main big
show of the year for the children, the
one night performance of “The Real
Santa Claus,’* who will give exhibi
tions Ibetween dark and day on the
date of Dec. 24th to 25th, inclusive, in
every home in Athens, has been get
ting in some good work hilling the
town the past few days.
The show windows of the enterpris
ing Athens merchants were first util
ized and the merchants gladly gave
the advance man free rein to get the
colors and the emblems and the signs
and symbols in every window.
The lighting men also caught the
spirit' end there are Christmas lights
shining everywhere—white and red
and green. In many places the deco
rations have been put up—in cafes,
stores, shops and offices. Even the
court house has its bits of holly and
mistletoe and greenery and red bells
and poinsettias in evidence.
The (business men of the city were
tired last night—and happy. The
day, which threatened to bring a lot
of inclement weather, decided differ
ently and let the folks loose—and by
night the sun beat the ,grey east wind
out and smiled> a triumph as he went
down. Busines was good—it was like
a Christmas Eve rush in every store
In every section.

The lobbies at the office were
crowded with only brief intermittent
recesses from the time the office
opened in the morning till the win

Tables have been placed in the lob
by to accommodate the patrons of the
office who mail parcels—where they
may wrap and address and stamp
these packages which are going out
by the thousands a day; from Athens
to friends in other places. A little
later an additional clerk will be fur

amount of postage required on the
packages.

Grateful Mothers
Tell Experiences
Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire, Wls.,
writes: "Foley’s Honey and Tar Com
pound cured my boy of a very severe
attack of croup after other remedies
had failed. Our milkman cured ,his
children of whooping cough. I
recommend It to every one, as we
know from our own experience that it
is a wonderful remedy for coughs,
colds, croup, and whooping cough.'
Mrs. D. Gilkcson, Youngstown. O.,
writes: “My little girl had a severe
cold an-1 coughed almost coDtiam us-
ly. I tried lots of cough remedies, but
she didn’t get any better. My sister
recommended Foley’s Honey and Tar
Compound to me. The first dose I
gave her relieved tho inflammation
in her throat, and after using one
bottle the cough left her.”
This sterling old remedy has-been
U'use for years and is just as effi
cient for adults as for children, it
gives relief for Irritated and tickling
throat, tight and sore chest, grippe
ar.d bronchial coughs.

HUMANE SOCIETY
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED FOR AN-
OTHER YEAR BY THE ATH
ENS ORGANIZATION.
The Athens Humane Society has
elected jthe following officers for an-
jther year:
Miss Etta Park,' president.
Mrs. R. M. Wade, vice president
Miss Annie Linton, secretary.
Miss Maude Townsend, treasurer.
An educational or publicity commit-
ee will he also named to keep the
matter of the work end the need 61
the work of the society before the
people of Athens.
As winter approaches the society
will feel grateful for larger and more
constant co-operation on the part of
all citizens in protecting animals from
suffering, exposure, and abuse. .
Miss-Linton recently attended the
national humane society gathering in
3t. .-Augustine, Fla., and brought back
with her to Athens the wonderful in
spiration which that convention dis
seminated. .
Just a Word in Season.
If you are not altogether a selfish
and inconsiderate creature, you will
remember the helpless animals which
come within the radius of your in
fluence. You will not go down street
and order a spool of thread to he sent
several miles by an overworked de-.
livery horse. You will take it your
self. You will not forget to place
your orders for groceries and other
things early in the day, so that poor,,
tired horses will not have to make
special trips -and cover the same
ground heedlessly. In other words,
it you are a decent citizen and con
siderate of man and beast, you will
shop early and considerately. - — -
We shall soon ha coming to the
time of the year when the birds which
linger through the-winter will be de
pendent, upon the bounty-of man for
something to fill their, stomachs and
keep their little hearts aflutter. '•< Cul
tivate the, habit of throwing some of
your crumbs (where ; pur feathered
guests can find them, Imagine your
self in city, or hi field, amongs gusts
of snow and fierce winds, seeking for
some crumbs of food with which to
arm you against the cold and starva
tion which produce suffering.* Follow
the example of good Saint Francis of
Assisi, who loved all the children of
God, whether human or subhuman,
and, regarding them with spiritual
insight, worked for the happiness and
salvation of the brute as much as for
his brother man. W. O. S.

HOW TO GET RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF
The only sure way to get perman
ently rid of either oily or dry dandruff
is to remove the conditions that cause
It and then keep the hair and scalp
in a permanet, clean, healthy, vig
orous state bo dandruff will never re
turn. This beats shampoos or head
washes which merely drive away
dandruff for a few days at most H.
R. Palmer & Sons and a number of
other better druggists in this vicinity
are now strongly recommending a
harmless, Inexpensive and quick act
ing preparation called Parisian Sage
that they Say is guaranteed to act di
rectly on the cause of dandruff'and
which already has become known f&r
and wide qs a safe and efficient treat
ment which cannot possibly injure
hair or scalp.
.Here is a test worth trying. Get a
package of Parisian Sage. Rub a lit
tle of it Into the scalp with the finger
tii»s and see for yourself how the
dandruff disappears, the hair stops
falling out, the itching vanishes, and
a: new end vigorously healthy appear
ance comes over the hair. Good look
ing hair is half the battle in any man
or waman’s personal appearance and
nothing -hurts the hair more than
dandruff. Try a little Parisian Sage
and begin at once to he rid of it. adv

ANNOUNCEMENTS
ANNOUNCEMENT—SOLICITOR
GENERAL.
To the White Citizens of the West-
ren Circuit: I desire to let the white
citizens of this circuit know that 1
will appreciate their help, influence
and votes for re-election as Solicitor-
GeneraL
It has been my ambition to serve
you in a manner that would meet with
your approvaL I have given my time
and attention (day and night) to the
luties of the office. and if you should
see fit to honor me with another term,
it shall be my policy to continue to
try to suppress crime in all of its
forms.
The.security of the home, the pro
tection of property, and the safe
guarding of the citizens liberty, de
pend upon the enforcement of the
law, and a respect for the Court’s de
crees .and sentences, by those in au-
chority, as well as by private citizens.
The Solicitor-General, in a large
measure, is : the officer upon whom our
people rely to Insure this protection.
This being my first term in office
and in public life, I have, no doubt,
made mistakes; they were due, how
ever, to “an error of the head and
not of the heart.” I therefore feel
and believe that my experience and
acquaintance with the people have
equipped me fof better service and
more usefulness for another term
than I have been able to render dur
ing the past three years.
In the light of the kind expres
sions from the Grand Juries under
whom 1 have been permitted to serve,
and from the people generally,I be*
lieve it Is the will of the God-fearing
and law-abiding white citizens, that
I should be re-elected and given an
indorsement.
As stated in my race before you
saw fit to elect me,—"It I give satis
faction and you see fit to re-elect me,
and I deem it to my interest, we will
keep company”; so, if In your judg
ment, my public service has been sat
isfactory, I will ask you to give me
another term as an indorsement of
my efforts to measure up to the re
sponsibilities of the office.
In order to keep up with the work
of the Solicitor-General’s office, it
practicallly takes one’s entire time.
We are holding Court from ten to
eleven months in the year, and when
not actually engaged in the Court
house, my time is given to the prep
aration of cases. As you well know,
Monarchs Named Alike.
All the kings of Prussia have been
ailed Frederick or William.
I have attended committal trials and
inquests and made personal ammiwn.
tion ot witnesses, In order to have
my cases ready for trial. I will, there
fore, have very little time, if any, to
call upon the people In person and
ask them for their votes. In view of
this fuct, I earnestly request yon to
look after my interest on the outside,
while I am on the inside, fighting for
your welfare and protection.
Thanking yon for your past sup
port, and trusting that I may be
deemed worthy of your suffrage, and
that you will honor me with a second
term, I am,
Yours for service,
JOHN B. GAMBLE.
FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL.
To the voters and people of the Weet-
arn Circuit:
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the office of Solicitor Gen
eral for the Western Circuit I will
appreciate the votes and the support
of the people of this circuit and if
elected to this high office will do my
duty. Yours respectfully,
P. COOLEY.
