An Athena branch of the Ken-

Thursday. Mrs. Lamar Rhtherford
Lipscomb la chairman of the or
ganization In Georgia and waa here

The Kentnore Association wah
formed In May last year and has
for Its purpose the purchase and
v.-eservatlon of the beautiful man-
slon In Fredericksburg. Va.. which
waa the home of iBetty Washing
ton. bride of Colonel Fielding
Lewis, the only slater of Oeorge
Washington.
The president of tho Association
is Mrs. Vivian Monlr Fleming who
was fprmerly Miss Emily White of
this city, and remembered here by
scores of Athenians.
Tho local officers named are.
Mrs. Billups Pblnlzy, rice chair-
Miss Mildred Rutherford, chairman,
man; Mrs. Lamar Rucker, rice
chairman, Mrs. Julius Talmadge,
vice chairman, Mrs. 8. V. Sanford,
vIco chalrmman, Mrs. Fknnte Long
Taylor, corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Julia White recording secre
tary; Mrs. George 'Melt chairman
'of membership and Mr. George
Moll, treasurer.
Originally 130,000.00 was need
ed and 518,000 or this has been
raised. The Athens unit has been
assigned the furnishing of the front
entrance hall and already several
nuns giving Instruction to trivet
and daughters of miners in sewing.
These visiting nurses are forming a
more and more important phase in
the life of a coal mining community
—a phase which was unknown up
until a few years ago.
When epidemics come, the visiting
mine is twenty-five years, and when
the coal is worked out, the com
munity often dies. Tho companies
now provide the houses. .
For'these houses, the miners pay
at a rate running from tl to 32 per
room each month. Usually the
higher figure obtains. This means
that a comfortable six room house,
with modem improvements, is rented
by the mine worker for 312 a month
’Can you match this anywhere else?

Mr. Morris was a strong ad
