By HUGH ROWB Fitting and proptr is tht ac tion of ths members of the Knights of Pythias in this city, in holding a special service in honor of Dr. Troy Beatty, Biahop Co-uUJutor, of Tennessee ajtd for many years Rector of Kmmanuel throughout* their lives, church in Athens, and Past Grand Chancellor tf the K. of p.’s for In unveiling his picture at their lodge rooms tonight. He was of the most beloved men in other states. His accomplishments for the betterment of the commun ity and his devoted and loyal ser-r vices to mankind will cause his memory Wo remain fresh in the minds of those who knew him Sunday, tha 13th, will be M Mothar*a Day", a day w# should all honor and obsarva by ra- membaring our mothors in somo Georgia, and not only here in Ath*jway mete and proper. If she is he esteemed, loved and ad-(alive a flower, a note or some rem mired, but bis popularity extended' embrance which will cause her to throughout. this state and into to know and feel that ahe is HUMORIST OR ASS? It is hard to tel! whether George Harvey, our “popular and affable” emissary to the Court of St. James, is the world’s foremost humorist or prize ass. If he isn’t the greatest humorist he ranks along with the best fun-makers in making the world laugh. It is a pity rome great men—and their is no doubt about Harvey’s greatness in some respects—some times make themselves foolish when they appear in public. Harvey, it seems, possesses the unhappy fac ulty of doing this on all occasions—of late at any rate. ‘ ■ * To begin with he put the administration in an em barrassing position in his maiden speech in London. Following that up his love for appearing in public and "speaking a piece” he made the American peo ple ashamed of their representative in London by his assinine utterances. • His most recent oratorical flight in which he does not fail to again -make the world laugh and at the same time pity an administration that could do no better than Harvey, occurred at a meeting of the So ciety of St. George, the English Patron Saint. According to the New York World report his speech follows: “It is eminently fitting that old England should be represented by a living Edward, lineal*descendant ofthe Edward during whose reign St. George was adopted,as your patron saint. “My proud little native State of Vermont looks forth from her treeclad mountains and sparkling lakes upon her more populous sister commonwealths, serene, in her consciousness of a virtually undiluted ancestral stock. Not less than 90 per cent of her en tire population are directly and exclusively descend ed from the. adventurous sons and daughters of this kingdom. Can any of your counties boast less alloy? “If so I point to you my native township which con tains no man, woman or child of other than English blood, hot one.” N Col. Harvey, after further identifying his birth place of Peccham, went on: “Do you, my kinsmen, agree with me that a true though New English jewel such as this should find a place in the crown of your patron saint? If you do, immediately upon my next visit I shall ask the peo ple to assemble and form.a Society of St. George, to co-operate, though not sub-operate, for that is not our way, with this parent association.” (The Village of Peachman, Vt„ now boasts a pop ulation of 667 men, women and children, and the boast gets less at every census. In 1900 Peacham had 794 inhabitants.) MAKE ATHENS A CONVENTION CITY One of-the most important movements to be under taken by the Chamber of Commerce for this year Is the securing of conventions. While the time has passed to secure the various conventions meeting in this state during 1923, it is a favorable time to pre sent the claims of Athens for their meetings next year. Athens has every advantage to offer for the accommodation of the large number who attend conventions. Ample hotel facilities, restaurants, tea rooms, cafeterias and boarding houses, besides the many points of interest to all visitors: the educa tional institutions, University of Georgia, State Col lege of Agriculture, State Normal School, Lucy Cobb Institute and one of the best public,school sys tems in, the country. Athens is ideally located and accessible from all points in the state and South; with five railroads entering or passing through the tity to make it convenient from this point of view. All in all, Athens enjoys an advantage over her sister cities, and it is only a question of making an effort to Secure many of the conventions, for next year. Con- ■ tions are great feeders to cities and no agency af- Is so much advertising to a community as/a con- ention of representative citizens composing com- herciai, civic and fraternal gatherings. In the past tfi JT tions, two tl _____ « one thousand representatives; the U. C. T.’s everal hundred members, besides entertaining large religious organizations. It is to be hoped that the officers ot the Chamber of Commerce will appoint a committee charged with the responsibility of securing these gatherings for >ext year and use every means to encourage and se- e 1924 conventions for Athens. War Department saves ovdr $141,000 in a year by >ills paying bills promptly to get “2 per cent discount if aid in 10 days.” The government as a whole could ve millions by doing other things promptly—especi ally big saving by cutting costly red tape.. Delay is e weakest spot of democratic government You've heard a 16t of contradictory stores about Lenin. Hers’s one that ranks at the top for earmarks of authenticity. Joseph Henschen, of Oakland, Flor ida, gets a letter from his brother in Sweden. The brother is one of Lenin’s personal physicians. He writes that the Red Czar is paralyzed and helpless. That’s about as near the truth as you’ll ever get, un less you live to see Lenin’s body embalmed. The endurance dancing craze fizzles. It taught that real strength is in the will power, not in muscles. Similar cbntests come in every generation, so we’re as rational as our ancestors. In 1899 Miller and Walker bicycled 2733 miles,' beginning Monday and ending Saturday night Twenty-two years before that, Wil liam Gale, a Welsh bookbinder, walked 1500 miles in 1000 hours. A man in Utica, N. Y., lifted himself on tiptoe 20,000 times without stopping. A girl in Sandwich Islands swam 40 miles . against running surf. Nothing is futile, as iong as it entertains bored humanity^ IF SICK, BILIOUS!

Bui here is a clipping from an exebangt which has something to say oi “Dad.” It is not intended to de tract any credit due mother, but just as a reminder. It says: , “We happened in a home the oth er night, and over the parlor dboi saw the legend worked In letters of red. “What is Home Without Mother?” “God Bless Our Home. “Now, what's the matter ’God bless Our Dad?’ He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg and with his boots wipes off th' dew of the dawn while many mother is sleeping. He makes th< weekly handout for the butcher, grocer, milkman, and baker, and his pile is badly walloped befpre he has been home an hour. “If there is a noise during the night dad is kicked in the pock any made to go down stairs to find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks but dad bought th< socks in the first place, and, thf needles and the yarn afterwards.

There Is not a day but that you will meet numer ous species. of dogs running wild on the streets and at this season of the year there is much danger ot hydrophobia. These dogs do not seem to be owned by unyonc or else they would be kept up. Thera la supposed to be a license on dogs una u requirement that ull dogs wear a tag. If such is the case then some one should see to it that the ordinance Is enforced —certainly there ia no restriction on the dog now. It is not so much tne revenue we receive from the sale of tags which should be con sidered by those in authority, but the protection to tho people of the community should come first. A roaming and half-starved dog is liable ut any time to contract rab- Dies and before he can'be killed bite many citizens.
