More politics daily appearing. ♦ Voodoo and hoodoo sound similarly * Summer time in Georgia—other wise, hot times in the old state this month. 4 Wanted a general who can furnish the key to the deadlock situation at Verdun. 4 COMMUNITY BUILDERS In .all communities there are citizens who devote their time, .energies and money to the building of their city; there are citizens who do not de vote their time, energies and money for the building of their city, but they devote their time and energies and money to the accumulation of their per sonal bank accounts and the amassing of fortunes which' are largely derived from the efforts of other citizens who have spent their lives laboring for the community. This condition is general throughout the country and some ot the citizens must be public spirited or else the community would soon grow less and less until its importance would be of little value to the country. However, that is a condition that must be faced, if the community is to build and grow into importance, but It is a condition which is to be deplored and every citizen should feel that he Is a part of the community and that his services should be given to the building of the community as much so as the other citizen who is always active in work of that kind. It is no unusual occurrence for the men who devote their time to public enterprise, which all prosper from, to be dubbed a politician or accused of working for graft, when as a matter of fact his efforts and his work are enriching some citizens who have not contributed their time or their money to tbe success of the undertaking. If a merchant is prominent in public movements and uses his time and energies to further a public movement, it is often that he is discredited and the one who has never contributed an hour of his time for the good of the community criticises his brother citizen’s activities and credits him with being a politician when in reality he is spend ing his time and money to help that citizen a great deal more than that which comes to him. It is often the case that when purchases are to he made, some will direct their trade to other places of business for fear that they will be criticised for giving their trade to a merchant, who has spent his life for tbe good of the town, and who has taken a prominent part in the affairs of his community because he has been termed a politician and there by his influence controlled the trade. That is an injustice, but it is common ly practiced in various communities. To build a great and prosperous city every citizen owes it to himself and to his community to do his part, be it small or large. His contribution in time, energies and money should be given in proportion to his ability and.' that community will stand out as a prosperous and growing community. LIVED ON MILK AND BREAD ONLY SPENT OVER $1,000 TRYING TO GET RELIEF FROM CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA. The latest report is that the Rus sians have retaken Vodka. Spirited campaign, eh? 4' The candidate will be candidating lively in a few weeks. Later some will be canned. Some of the law books should change the words “Table of Con tents” to the‘“Table of Contentions.” ♦ A head line says “Building Figures Ahead of Last Year”—that’s figurative construction for you, numerically speaking. 4 “Athens Flag Day” goes marching right along in the magazines and syn dicate news service, as well as the mo tion pictures. 4 And now the statement is made that Peachtree street is to be lined with trachycarpus excelsus and also with the rhapidophitum histrix. Bet it’s something green. ♦ Speaking of “soldiery”—that’s the way Athens will look when the en campment of the whole state, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, comes to this city next week. USE FOR STATE MILITIA For years there has been an idea throughout the country that the state militia was without value and that the members were merely tin soldiers, ready for parade and not for service. Within recent years there have been many changes in the organization and control of the state militia and It has come largely under the federal control for certain purposes. In this respect it has been made of more real use than before. The opportunity has come to test the real efficiency of the national guard in the different states. President Wilson, unable to cope with the Mex ican situation with the regulars at his disposal for service in Mexico, has called out the national guard in three states, Texas, New Mexico and Ari zona, the three states bordering on Mexico. * The opportunity is at hand to show whether the national guard can he made of real service on the firing lipe. The result of this order of the presi dent will have a real bearing on the discussion now going on in congress as to the increase in the army strength of the nation. It is believed that the national guard in the three states named will make a good showing. They are men who love their country and who are fired to a great pitch of indignation at the outrages that have been commit ted on the soil of their native states. They can be relied on to do some fighting against the Mexicans. One trouble will be in keeping them from making their fighting general and not confining it to the Villa adherents. The Mexicans are said to believe that they can whip the United States if Texas he left out. But Texas has been decidedly put in by this order of the president, and the Mexicans may step around a little more carefully in view of that fact. The Bankhead act would give Geor gia two million dollars for roaas— from the government—but Georgia would have to establish a highway commission in order to avail itself ot the funds. 4 The enrollment at the University of Georgia summer BChool will be the largest this year ever in its history. Teachers are going to avail them selves of the opportunities afforded by the state. 4 Athens, when the near-beeries were closed soon dropped six men—nearly a third of the department;—from the police force; Atlanta, since the first of May, is adding a large number of new men to the force. 4 And now the question comes up as to the legal jurisdiction of the state over the three mile off-shore stretches about Savannah. They are not going to run the prohibition law in the At lantic ocean, surely. 4 There are actually some people so familiar with greenback that they allude to one as “Bill.” Believe we could become so familiar with one that we could in a few minutes after meeting it call It "Willie.” 4—: Just as Carranza proved that he is unable to cope with the situation In Mexico and just as there Is another big raid into Texas—the de facto government insists on the withdrawal of the United States troops. . ♦ Some country cousin sent a bunch 1 of eggs by "partial post” and for fun wrote a message on one of the eggB. The post office found the writing and charged letter postage on the pack age. That’s one way .to make eggs first class.

Stand by the Georgia boys—help them get the ■biggest crowd that ever witnessed oven a Tech game in this city. JUST AVERSADAY. THE OLD MEETING HOUSE. They say the church has got too big and rich to worship now In the old framed meeting-house we’ve used for fifty years; that’s how It comes about they’re going to tear the old church-house away And “build a flfty-thousand-dollar-edifi.ee,” they say. There’s no denying of the fact the old house is decayed And kind o’ tumbled down and worn, and many a foot has made Its print'upon the sanded walk that leads up to the door— The feet of many loved and gone who’ll press that path no more. “I told my husband that my Tanlac was out and that I just had to go to Birmingham to get. me another bottle, I wouldn’t be without it for any amount of money, and that is why I am here today,” said Mrs. H. B. Bar rett when she called at Jacobs’ drug store in Birmingham recently to get her second bottle. Mrs. Barrett re sides at Republic, a suburb of Bir mingham, and ts well known. , ‘I have only taken one bottle of Tanlac and have gained nine pounds. Yes, sir, this Tanlac has done me more good than all the medicines have ever taken. During the past fourteen years I have spent more than 31,000 trying to get well of a-com- pla'int that was gradually sapping my strength. For the past four years I have, lived almost entirely on milk and, bread and finally that got so it went against me. -I dared not eat meat or vegetables of any kind, and if I did, would suffer for hours afterwards I had chronic dyspepsia, so I was told, and nothing prescribed for me brought any relief. I rarely ever wen 1 to the table, because even the sight of food or to smell it cooking would nauseate me. I had a bad taste in my mouth and nothing I ate tasted right. I had always been healthy and a woman who looked after her house hold duties, but since having this trouble I got so weak I could not do my housework and had to have help. I would have awful pains in my back and was nervous and could not sleep well. When I heard of this Tanlac it sounded so good I thought I would try it, because I was ready to try anything that I thought would help me. I was never so surprised in my life; it helped me right from the start, the medicine seemed to take hold right at once and I could just feel myself getting better from day to day. Before I had finished my first bottle. I got so I could cat anything put on the table and could hardly wait for meal time to come. I cer tainly bless the day I got this medi cine, for I believe it has added years to my life. Oh! I feel so much bet ter and sleep-so much better and am not nervous like I was . Just think I have actually gained nine (9) pounds and feel strong in every way, ‘JMy neighbors were as much sur prised as I was and they are at my house every day, telling me how well I look. I counted up yesterday and fourteen of them are either taking Tanlac or will commence taking It as soon as they can go to Birming ham and get it. Tanlac is certainly a wonderful medicine and everybody out our way is talking about it. You can put this in the papers if you want to because I know there are thous ands of women in the same bad fix that I had been in for so many years Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ath ens by the Citizens’ Pharmacy; Winterville by the Kroner Co. adv BHBE of Khorassan Taking fhe Oath This is the way the Dramatic Or der of the Knights of Khorassan in itiate candidates, tyros, and noviates.

Many of the cases made were traffic ordinance cases, with nominal I fines imposed. The recommendation There are no opera-chairs inside—just benches hard and plain— But nigh the front is one I see with mingled joy and pain— Here every Sunday there would be my mother in her place And though the years have vanished I can see her happy face. Before the old-time chancel Tail she stood long years ago And promised to he true to one she loved and honored so; Here, after years, he lay beneath the flowers on his bier— The white-haired preacher told his life with many a quiet tear. The old house full of memories sweet and sacred, too, to me— My. heart feels every stroke It gets; somehow there sems to he A tender sort of tie between its history and mine— I hate to see it swapped for any costly building fine. —D. G. B. A TYPE-CARTOON. The Old World said one day: “One bad act overshadows a hundred good ones.’ 1 But the New World said: , ' . “One good act brightens the way so that a hundred faults are forgotten."
