THE YEAR 1923 HAS BEEN GOOD
V; g 0 far Athens has shown a wonderful growth and
much prosperity. Notwithstanding that the past
two years having been seasons of depressions, short
crops and other' agencies producing unfavorable
business conditions, all lines of business have held
their own and are commencing the fall trade with
the brightest prospects since the closing of the
§ world-wide war.
in this'section crops were never better in propor
tion to the acreage cultivated and it to the gener
opinion that in the territory tributary *° A h Bes jdw
hale of cotton will be averaged to the acre. ^ Besidw
other crops have been grown just as successfully
i rd there is scarcely a farmer in this section who
has not enough of meat, com, wheat and potatoes to
do him, besides poultry and an ample supply of
feedstuff for his stock. With this condition exist
ing, Athens merchants are bound to reap a harvest
this fall. The farmer has not urchased lavishly in
several vears. The time has cofne when he will be
forccfl to buy clothing, shoes, hats and other wear-
intf apparel which he has bought scantily during
the past three years. This year he will have some
thing to buy with and the merchant who is pre-
ared with a full stock of merchandise will find this
year to be one of tho’most profitable in a number of
years. J
Besides there has been much building in Athens
this year. The Alumni Hall and thc John MiUedge
Dormitory on the campus of the University of Geor-
gia, both were large contracts and represented over
two hundred thousand dollars. Then there har been
more business houses remodeled than usual, and new
firm cmnmencing business which is one of the nest
indications of the growth and substantial condition
hero. This is borne out by the fact that Woolworth,
one ofthe largest syndicates of stores in the country
hasi leased and had remodeled two large store rooms
and Ups concern will be ready for business in a few
Weokr. If Athens were not' an unusually good busi
ness center, a cororation ofthls character would
never‘have elected to locate here.
, , These and many more reasons could be given for
the Wonderful growth and substantial conditions
which now exist in Athens and the encour,aging pros-
po ts for the remainder of the year will record 1923
as one of tho most prosperous years in the history of
Athens. I BSHfiftl | ' 1
; THE TAX COMMISSION
Next Thursday the members of the tax commis
sion appointed by governor Walker are scheduled
to meet in this city. No fixed program has been an
nounced, but it is understood that tho purpose of tho
visit is for the members to meet with our business
men and exchange views on the all-absorbing .ques
tion cf taxation as now exist in this state.’ There are
many.plans in the minds of the people and if this
committee can by conferring with representative
business men in all sections ofthe state gather some
thing definite which can be put in tangible shape
and a tax measure formulated which will give relief
to the. depleted treasury the commission will have
rendered a service to the tax payers of the state
which should bo appreciated.
It is well that Athens has been designated as one
of tho centers for tax investigation and conference.
. Here is located the mother institution of the'educa-
tionul-institutions of-the state. Here the members
can see 'more and learn more of the needs of its
greatest school and its branches than they could learn,
from any other source. It is to be hoped that the
commission will not limit its session to a few hours
or a (iay, but that they will remain in session here un
til they have thoroughly surveyed the field and se-
r’lll’Pll Folllliln lllfnrntntinn nf flin mnirMifiirln ll«n
curocitreliable information of the magnitude of the
dilutions and the deplorably small amount ap-
opriated each year by the legislature for the main
tenance and support of the state's greatest asset
fi. .The members of this commission should be met
oitf citizens and every courtesy and every aid
>\vn these men. These gentlemen accepted their
| t &jnmj£sions purely as a patriotic ctyty. They are
givjr.g-their time and the best there is in them for
the service of their state. It is most commendable
on thejr part and the people of Georgia owe to them
th,cir thanks and appreciation.
U/jAtl&nta is campaigning for five hundred thousand
population in 1930. What about Athens setting her
pegs for 50,000 population?
America stands supreme in war; in commerce and
now in prize .fighting.
A hearty welcome should be given the members of
the tax commission when they visit Athens this week.
hamber of Commerce should arrange a pro-
r the mwing and entertaining the members
the tax commission and aid in supplying them with
such information as they may desire in gathering
statistics and information for the formation of a tax
pleasure for this state.

In tome states burglary is a
hanging offsnse. It should be
a law in all states. A man who
will brtak into your home will
commit murder. Anyone who hnz
had the experience of awakening
at a late hour of night or nn early
Hour or the morning rtad find u
strange person ransacking the
house, knows what a terrible ex
perience it Is And feels that nr
punishment ts ton severe for th«
criminal. Officers of the law should
be very dlllfgent In running down
this character of criminals and the
courts should mete to them the ex
treme limit .of tho law.
Mike ’em Understand.
An Irish lawyer, asked how he
always managed to get a decision
from a Jury, replied: “I make ’em
understand! First I tell 'em wha
j'm going to tel! 'em; then I t<
’em;, ami then-over and over agn
I tell 'em what I told 'em.”
In the foregoing lies one of the
greatest elements for success in ad
vertlslng. Don't use the intermit-
tent typo of publicity, whereih as
advertiser "tells 'em what ho
going to tell 'em." and then doesn*
follow up his lend with' cpnr lien
clous, continuous telling. Tht way
to advertise is the method of the
Irish lawyer—first "tell ’em what
you are going to toll 'em"; then
"tell ’em”; and then many t'mei
"tell ’em what you told ’em.'

Christianity and the
Church
fFor tht Lord Is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His
truth andureth to all generation*"—Fsatms 100:5.
E ARLY empires, systems of philosophy have their
day, huhian institutions decay, all things of this
’world bloom ahd fade away like, the grass of the
field; but the Christian religion has the dew of
perennial youth, survives all changes, makes steady
progress from age to age, overcomes all persecution
from without and- corruption from within, is,'now
stronger and more widely spread than ever before,
directs the course of civilization, and bears the hopes
of the human race. The history of the world is govern
ed in the interest - and for the ultimate triumph of
Christian truth and righteousness.
The church teaches Christianity and is the great
moral, restraining, ennobling and stimulating influ
ence which works like a leaven from, within upon all
the ramifications of sqciety. -
1 The future progress and happiness of the world
will depend upon the support and development of the
church. \
