ATHENS TO HAVE A FAIR
That-Athens-is to have :t-fair this fall was made
certain Thursday morning by the action of the mem
bers of'the Chamlier of Commerce wno propose to
sponsor* the undertaking. The Banner-Herald is in
hearty sympathy with the movement and will lend
its aid in every way to help make the fair a big suc-
I For some time this newspaper has advocated the
B holding.of a fair here this fall believing that such
■ an enterprise was not only desired hythelieopleof
1 this section, hut that it would prove helpful to the
I agricultural and live stock industries. An agncul-
I tural fair with farm products, livestocks and poultry
I exhibits will instill an enthusiasm and interest In
I greater*and hotter production by all the farmers,
ft It will help create a supply for this and other sections
ft' for which a ready market can be found, and will
ft bring to the farmer an income which he has not en-
I joyed heretofore, and prove to he one of the most
I valuable moves in this line of industry, by showing
■ what is being done by farmeis in Clarke county.
I In co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, it
ft is announced that the Elks club will lend their aid
I in the fair project. This organization is one of the
I strongest in the city and its membership is composed
I of some of the most progressive and prosperous cit-
I izens of the community. With these two fore® 8 co "
i ordinated, the fair can be made a success, with plans
I beginning even at this late date. Our people have
I never foiled on a project when they come together
] and make up their minds to succeed, and it may be
J assured that with these orgamznt.ons interested, the
fair this fall will he one of the best the city and
I county has ever held.

1 at his retirement from tho firm was occasioned by
WOODROW WILSON’S WITHDRAWAL
Several months ago when it was anounced that
Woodrow Wilson had withdrawn from the law firm
of Wilson and Colby 1 , it was presumed and general
ly acci
dition
that his retirement - ------ — ... ...
the number ot suits offered to his firm by those hav
ing cases against the various departments . of the
government. Mr. Wilson felt that the fhrm in which-
he was-a partner, could not with propriety take cases
involving any department of the goyernment, especi
al I v capes that might have relation to his adminis
tration; Hr * action will be endorsed by the public
and it is only another one of his acts which stamps
him as one of the most loyal Americans and devoted
to the best interests of this nation.
The fact that Mr. Colby continues the practice of
law and accepts cases relating to all departments ol
the government except those connected with tnc
State Department proves him to be a man above
personal ambition and greed for money-making. Mr.
Colby held the portifolio of Secretary of State under
Mr. Wilson. ,
Washington has g-own to be a meca for govern
ment officials who were former heads of depart
ment.;, and for congressmen and senators. Many
senators, especially, open law offices in Washington
immediately following their retirement from the
senate, whether from defeat or withdrawal, and
seek te secure this class of practice on their reputa
tion for or against measures affecting corporations
and industries of the nation. Washington has be
come Known as the Eldorado for thin class of law
yers who roc #' «e largo fees to represent those inter
est ccl in special icgislatior. ...
Hut "Woodrow Wilson has eliminated himself
fn m any criticism which might arise from any and
all sources as to his real purpose ami intent by with
drawing from the active practice and association
uiih any law firm. •
NATURAL ADVANTAGES VS. COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Whit is best for a town—Natural Advantages or
a welt developed and highly energetic Community
Spirit7 It would he an ideal situation for a town to
po -(.1 both these advantages to a marked degree,
hut on the other hand any town may consider itself
lucky If it has either one of them. The town that has
no Natural Advantages, and refuses to develop a Com
munity, Spirit, is in a mighty bad way for the future.
How would you rate Athens in the way of Na
tural Advantages and Community Spirit? Thus is a
question that the readers of the Banner-Herald can
answer as well or perhaps better than the Banner-
Herald itself. What would you Say are the present
Natural Advantages, that Athens enjoys perhaps
P iorc generously than other towns and cities in this
iction of the South. t c
If Athens is shy on Natural Advantages then'it is
up to Athens to make up the deficit with an organ
ized Community Spirit that will plan things and do
things. For our part, give us a town Community
Spirits with organizations and co-operation on all
sides $nd we can very well do Without the so-called
Natural Advantages that many cities boast of. What
Athens needs is a Community Spirit that will make
opportunities and overcome obstacles. A start in this
direction, however small, and less talk about Natural
Advantages that may once have existed but for years
have practically ceased to exist, will put new life and
hope, and new progress and push in all our people.
There is nothing that can prevent Athens from de
veloping a Community'Spirit, but its own people, and
a Community Spirit will bring Prosperity to Athens
just as il has in so many towns, both large and small,
throughout the South.

THE LESSON
Ho seemed to bo a sissy-boy,
A prissy boy,
A Hilly boy;
Ills hand* were white,
HU figuro alight,
His voice a trifle shrill;
He seemed a good example of,
A sample of
A “Willie-boy"
In every ^ay /
That .one could say,
He seemed to fill the bill!
The boys began to Joke with blm,
They npoko with him
Quito airily;
He bluHhed bright pink
And seemed to shrink
Within hia girlish skin;
Till someone used a blighting
' word,
A fighting word,
Then, verily,
All in a Jiff
It seemed as if
A cyclone started ini
Tho gang that had been chiding
him
And riding him
All lay about;
And much amaze .
Was in tho gazo
)f every battered lamp;
"My words,” tho sld said,
or not—
It’s wiser not
To play about
With any gloo

Tho appointment of J. Og-

pnvement tatwren ihe tracks
throughout the rtrect car system.
If this was done accidents would
hR'preventcd for there arc so many
automobile drivers who seem to
ho vo tbe idea that when mooting
a "treot car tho motorman should
turn off the tracks and give him
tho right of way over the line. Como
to think o'* tho matter, on either
