be approaching the limit of hu

Manure Called to Atten

Athens—not the Classic City,
but the city which boasts of be

South without flies.
This is the ambition nnd goal
that has been set by some of the

of this community, and In the hop?
that this may he realise 1 the think
ing people of Athens are being ap

Recently a "Cleun-L’p' wkek was

In ’this connection it is pointed
out by the far seeing and Athens
Hmbitlous citizens that it the town * HAVE RIGHT
is to win the reputation of being I jq inquire
the cnly "Flyless City" In the
south, special attention must be

Taking the second verse of the
twelfth ohapter of Hebrews. Dr. G
•Campbell Morgan 8onday night
showed how Jesus waa the authoi
and perfector of faith und died on
the cross "despising Its shame” and
enduring the "gain aayings of tin
ners against themselves” because
he believed In God and Man and
Use ultimate recovery of the hu*
man soul.
The verse he used reads: "Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher
of faith; who for the Joy that waa
ret before him endured the cross,
despising Its shame, and It aet down
at the right hand of the throne of
God.’
The whole argument of (he word

vision, Jesus, we forget all the en
cumbrances and do not commit the

declared.
Speaking on the verse in Deute

Dr. Morgan Sunday morning de

IS
Conference circles anticipated
that the United States may play
the leading role before the curtain
falls on the last act, with tho finai
scene either the signing cf a peace
compact or the renewal of war.
In the public mind the prospective
importance of the United States
■■M present confereix •• is
ascribed to the Turkish parliament's
recent ratification of the Chester
concession, granting • extensivo
rights for the construction of rall-
road* throughout Turkey and the
{ xploltatlon of mineral properties
n a zone within twenty kilometers
either aide of the projected rail
way line. France and Great Brit
tain both are looking at this con
cession with questioning eyes, and
economic subjects will form ono
of the .chief issues in the disputo
between the Turks and the allies,
both these countries may oppose it
here.
The outstanding feature'Of tho
resumed conference is the elimi
nation of soYiet Russia. The cor
respondent of The Associated Pro*,
learns that Moscow diplomatically
sought an invitation th partici
pate in the conference but that tho
inviting powers, Great Britain,
France and Italy, returned a politu
.negative.
