Thoughts For The Day
' Yot a little sleep, a little slumber, a little
folding of the hands to sleep: so shall thy pov
erty come as one that traveleth; and thy want as
an armed man.—Prov. 24:33, 34.
“ Idleness travels very slowly, and poverty soon
overtakes her.—Hunter.
GET TOGETHER AND DO IT
The Athens spirit has never failed on any project
on whic'n its citizens have gotton together and given
the movement their hearty ' co-operation and ap
proval. There is not a community on the face of the
globe blessed with more enterprising and progress
ive citizens than Athens. A movement is now under
way sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce that
1 should appeal to every merchant, business man and
banker in the community. It is “Trade Month" to
' he inaugurated and continued through the month of
November. A list of valuable premiums are being
* offered for the benefit of those who trade with the
Athens merchants. It is not a catch-penny game nor
is ifjieing introduced by some itenerant who re
ceives a commission or a guarantee from the business
concerns, but it is a project bern of the local busi
ness men and an enterprise of merit and worth to
every line of commerce in Athens. In order to' make
the movement a success it will require hearty co
operation on the part of every merchant and busi
ness man. This is no time for drones, everyone must
be live, active and alert to the opportunities which
are afforded for increased business and for the mak
ing of many new customers who have traded else
where in the past It is an opportunity
to create an interest in Athens and place its
. many advantages before the people of this section of
the state, commercially and educationally. With
greatly increased crops over those of last year the
brightest day of proseprity is now dawning on Ath-
i ens and it is purely a question of whether our busi-
1 ness men will accept the opportunity and work for,
i the business which naturally belong to this- city or'
let the trade go where it is being urged to come.
. Early Tuesday morning the various committees for
the "Trade Month” project met at the rooms of the
v Chamber of Commerce, organized and with much
enthusiasri commenced their .rounds from store to
store seeking the co-operation and support of the
business men. With such determination as displayed
1 by the committees there is no question about the
success of the project. Feature sale days each week
- will bo held during the month. During the first week
will-be held a "Community Dollar, Day” sale in which
all merchants will'participate offering unusual bar-
T gains for ONE DOLLAR. Every dollar’s worth of
merchandise purchased will entitle the purchaser to
a ticket for the premiums nnd the merchant who is
I not in the “Trade Month” organization will be the
i onii to lose business. The project is a splendid
"business getter” and it may be expected that the
merchants will reap a harvest during the month and
experience tho largest trade they have ever had
during any one month of their business career.
Seek the committees and enter into the proper
spirit of the movement and contribute your part to
wards an undertaking which will mean much for
the revival of business and for the return of pros
perity.
. VALUE OF COTTON CROP INCREASED
During the past eix weeks the advance in the price t
of cotton has been worth millions of dollars to the
cotton growers of the south. The advance has 1
amounted to more than $25 a bale and from all indi
cations a steady advance may be expected due large-
“the short American crop and the small surplus
ght over from last season, together With the
general improved business conditions.
Every bale of cotton is an asset to the country
ami every owner of a bale of cotton should place it
MMt it will add its value to increasing the commer
cial assets of tho communities in which it is grown.
' The facilities offered by the warehouses here and
the strong financial condition of the various banking
5^ IS St Rations insures the farmer that his cotton is ab
solutely safe and that the highest market price paid
in :my city or town in the country is being paid by
the cotton buyers of this city. '
Athens is the sixth largest inland cotton market
in tho United States and its railroad,' financial and
warehouse facilities gives to it an advantage over
other inland cotton points. Besides large compress
plants in this city, can take care of all the export
cotton in this section of the state. An ideal location
for a great center in handling the world’s greatest
product, Athens offers every inducement and advan
tage; to the cottqn growers in this section to market
their cotton here.
.The proposed trade month for November Is rap-
Jdlv’pushing forward and the merchant who is left
t -will be the one who will suffer.
Several thousand dollars in premiums will be
■ given away during trade month in Athens. Every
line of business should co-operate in the movement
d make of the enterprise one grand success.
big feature for the firet week during trade
month will be “Dollar Day” at which, time every mer
chant in Athens will have special offerings and
special bargains which can be bought for one dollar.

It stagnate and it will distill the
