Each Buick Unit
Has Story Of
Its Own
Evolution, Not Revolution
Charcaterizes Changes
in Fours and Sixes.
A re-designed six cylinder
valvc-in-head motor — new four
wheel brakes—distinctively Buick;
increased wheel base—consequent
ly more room; an ingenious new
carburetor with simple arrange
ment for quick heat adjustment,
complete automatic lubrication,
new springs, new axles, heavier
frames. These are a few of the
literally scorse of new features
noted in the new Buick sixes. And
many of these apply to the fours,
including the four-wheel brakes.
The new pix cylinder engine of
60 to 70 horsepowre is a long
story in itself, the brakes anoth
er, body design another, refine
ments and equipment another.
Through adoption of newly design
ed cams and n heavier crank
shaft unusual quiet In operation
hak been attained, which adds one
more element to the notable pow
er, speed and smoothness of oper
ation attained without a single
sacrifice of Buick prineiplcs. All
this is evolutionary rather than
revolutionary.

A BILL WAS introduced in the
legislature to drop two members
of the Public Service Commission
and had it passed linn. J. D. Price
would have lost his office. But
when put upon its passage the
bill was overwhelmingly voted
down. ✓
MR. L. H. MARLETT, an expert
constructing and arranging
cheese factories, and making
cheese, has started up the Lexing
ton factory and the first pressing
was made Friday evening. The
factory starts off with the most
flattering prospects. Others will
doubtless be built in this section.
This Lexington cheese will he put
on sale in Athens and our citi
zen* should buy it and thus help a
home enterprise.
WE FIND not only among
farmers but in the citv. a strong
sentiment in favor of Henry Ford*
for president, as it is believed he
will give the country a business
administration and take care of
the farmer. But of course when
the brand of democracy is placed
upon a ticket the^outh will rally,
to its support.
THE BANNER-HERALD is
gaining in popularity every day.
With the fine crops promised the
paper will be found in nearly
every home. Every day farmers
tell us that they will surely have
the Banner-Herald from their first
spare money. Bear in mind that
you not only get each day the
very news you must want to know,
but arc given an insurance policy
against accident absolutely free.
You cannot tell what day or hour
you may have an automobile or
other accident.
There stands in the little town
of Homer, on the main highway,
an old wooden building of more
than general interest. It is the
old Candler home, built by the
famous captain of the immortal
Banks County Guards, and in this (
building was born the “One-Eyed
Plowbdy of Pigeon Roost,” who
defeated Emory Speer for Con
gress and made one of the best
governors Georgia ever had.
CHICKEN hatcheries are being
established in scvoral counties in
Georgia, the incubators hove an
egg capacity of 14,000 or more.
Some are built by a company of
poultry raisers or individuals.
They are paying handsomely and
kept going. Now that the chicken
business has assumed such impor
tance in our city and neighboring
counties, why not Athens organize
a company and establish a hatch
ery? Eggs would be brought
hero from all neighboring coun
ties. The setting of eggs under
hens is getting to he an obsolete
practice. Hon. J. D. Price has
seen these public incubators and
says they ore a great thing. You
rent space for as many eggs as
you desire to have hatched.

week the weevil htfi? cost him
$10,000 or $15,000 and his cotton

by the millions and cleaned the
stalks of all fruit.
MR. ADAM SMITH, of Sumter,

the weevil has ruhed their pros

cannot make a bale to the plow.

He heard from' him last week and
the weevils had cleaned it up.
