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. I Athens Visitors 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. interest harder every minute, “Tlr Face on the Barroom Floor” will rarely be equaled. The picture was at the Strand Monday and Tues day.

He met Mr. Weaver again last week and he said in one week the weevil htfi? cost him $10,000 or $15,000 and his cotton was ruined. The weevil appeared by the millions and cleaned the stalks of all fruit. MR. ADAM SMITH, of Sumter, another large cotton planter, sofs the weevil has ruhed their pros pects for a cotton crop and they cannot make a bale to the plow. Last year Sumter made a splcn did cotton crop. Farmers an using poison but they started too late. MR. BRANCH, of Oconee, says his kinsman, Mr. McCree, has a large farm in Mitchell county, ami last year made a fine cotton crop. He heard from' him last week and the weevils had cleaned it up.
