That’B obvious. But have you ever noticed tbe rear ot the building— that filthy little lane that runs be hind ft? it's a disgrace to any little country villdge. With wagons, mules and rubbish , of every kind parked on each side, and the street Itself one of the roughest to be found any where, it Is an, open disgrace to the progressive city of Athena. With both Thomas and Jeckson streets paved and this being one ol tbe prominent buslnes! sections. It seems strange that such p condition Is al lowed to eklat. What do the citizens of Athens think of it? Shouldn’t the street be Cleaned up find paved? GEORGIAN HOTEL BOOf I1AROEN. , . It It .rumored that plan* are being worked out far the building of a beau tiful root garden on the top ot tbe Georgian hotel. Whether or .not this rumor be true, this Is a very good Idea and It would be well It the hotel would make such an addition to Its already beautiful building. Thdre 1* no such garden In the Classic City today and there Is a koenly felt need for a place of entertainment after this fashion. H an y qHlea even small er than Athens have root garden* that, during the summer months, prove a favorite recreation spot for the young and those youthfully In clined. ' Jt Is believed that n roof garden on top of the Georgian hotel would prose very attractive to the younger set In Athens, as well as some the older ones, but with youthful wqyt._ Likewise, It would be a favor- Ue rendezvous for the tourists \rtto cortietir-Attrens by the hundreds dally. Why not have a root garden? ICE WATER FOR OUR JAILBIRDS. Only recently a handsome Ice- water stand, which It kept full ot nice, cold Ice, water, was Installed In the county jail, on the top of tbe courthouse. With the installation ot this stand a long-felt need was satis fied. That Hie unfortunates who are inmates of dur Jail should have good, obvious. The officials are to be corn- cold water on these sweltering days Is mended for this act—that Is, If they will continue to keep tbe bottle filled v|Uh water and plenty of Ice In the .container. A WltHTEWAY , lyOR ATHEN8. \ Jt hae teen suggested that a white- way would add greatly to the appear ance ot the Classic City during the evening hours. AJready there are e number ot beautiful electric signs and attractively lighted show win dows here that add to tbe appear ance of'the city at night. It la be lieved. however, and the opinion has been expressed by a number of citi zens that a whiteway running from— say, the University campus to Han cock avenue x>n College aveuuo and from Lumpkin street to JackMn street on Clayton avenue—would add materially to thq beauty ot Athena at night. What do you think ot the suggestion? SPECIAL NOTICE CITY TAXES The second installment of City Taxes is due from July 15th to August 1st, inclusive.

This Is The W4f To ' Make Every Buy A Bargain B UY advertised goods. Only good goods, fairly priced, can stand the spotlight of publicity. A merchant or manufacturer would not dare to adver tise merchandise that is poor in quality, poor in make or that will-not give reasonable wear. The penalty of such tactics is too heavy. r -; . ;-■■■ A merchant places the whole reputation of his business at stake every time he advertises. Naturally enough, he is careful of what he says and when his statement is placed in the newspaper—where everyone in town may read—so that any untruth in it will be known to all of his employees and most of his friends—then you may be sure he is doubly careful. , .
