THE BANNEB-HBiam XTHENS. CEOKCTX
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923.^
ADVANCES
A THENS has the distinction of bfeing—during normal cotton
producing years—the SIXTH largest inland cotton mar
ket, a fact that has attracted world-wide attention. For
a city of 20,000 people to attain to such an important position in
the handling of the South’s leading crop, it is necessary that
ample resources of cash and storage be available, as well as trans
portation outlet for the enormous amount of cotton that this
represents.
All these resources have been available, and are now more
than adequate to take care of even a normal cotton crop. But
the territory around Athens is not now producing cotton to that
extent. Conditions of planting, growing, harvesting and selling
have undergone changes in the past few years that have affected
the cotton industry and made the 'handling of the crop a new
business—almost.
Athens’ cotton factors, warehousemen, and men interested in
the financing'end of handling it, have kept pace with the new
conditions, and are better than ever prepared to take care of the
farmer’s crop and his interests in marketing it.
ON
COTTON
A THENS’ manufacturers of cotton products require just as
much cotton'under the new conditions tp carry on their
business—Athens’ cotton factors are just as anxious to
buy what cotton there is available, Athens warehouses are just
as anxious to store your crop under reliable conditions until you
shall require it as ever, and we, as a financial institution, are
prepared to OFFER LIBERAL ADVANCES ON COTTON to
every farmer in Athens territory, when the cotton is stored with
reliable warehousemen under conditions that are safe both to
the owner and to us.
These conditions are not hard to meet -provision has been
made for the proper storage, and we will gladly furnish full in
formation as to the terms upon which ADVANCES ON STORED
COTTON will be made.
We urge the farmers, of this territory to market their cotton,
or to store it in Athens, whether you desire to obtain advances
from us or not. You will find adequate facilities here—you will
find courteous treatment—you will find interested and helpful
co-operation.

Rev. E. L. Hill, pastor of the
flrrt Presbyterian church nt Ath
ens. Is the only minister from the
Athens Presbyterian churchea
Many expressed regret that Rev.
Samuel C. Cart ledge, pastor of
Central church, Athens, was not
prerent yesterday. He is a son ot
the late Dr. Genres H. Cartledge,
for many years a power in church
and in matters of literature and
history in the northern part o fthe
state. Dr. Hill is one of the lead
ers of his church In Georgia—
though he came only aboiit fifteen
?o from Montgomery, Ala.
By accident, the writer of thes.
notes happened to be In Athens or
a visit on the date Dr. Hill preach
ed his •'trial" rermon before the
congregation which immediately af
ter called him—and he reported
the sermon for the Athens news
paper as a matter of “keeping his
hand in."
Many expressions were heard
from Savanah Presbyterian minis
ters and eiders regretting the fact
tbnt Rev. Dr. J. S. Sibley, for sev
eral years pastor nt Way cross, has
recently decided to leave South
Georgia. He hns accepted the call
the ( church at Gainesville—and
it happened by chance that this
learned of the fact and
wrote a little note of the chnngc
for the Morning News, before even
the home town paper in Waycross
published the fact concerning his
change. Dr. Siblejr has been one
of ii.o loading preachers In Sout*
Georgia and a leader In the Sa
vannah Presbytery. He goes to
Northeast Georgia, however, to n
fine church in a' fine town whore
there is a field for great work, a
church which has had several not
able pastors In the past yearn
among them the late T. P. Cleve
land, the late Rev. J. A. Young.
Rev. S. J. Cartledge, the late Rev.
L. A. Simpson, and others.
Another interesting attendant Is
C. A. Rowland of Athens. He If
not a member of the Synod—as
representative, but Is chairmen of
one of the chief committees named
last year nnd came yefterdny on n
trip of several hundred miles to
mnko his report nnd leave almost
Immediately. He has been “on
tour" of the state In the Interest of
the church’s work for two weeks
nnd In that time has not had a
chance to attend to his personal
business; he Is head of a great
wholesale feed nnd grocery house In
Northeast Georgia. Mr. Rowland
hns connection In Augusta of the
snmo name—all prominent In the
Presbyterian work In the state. The
Athens man was for several years
head of the Laymen's MIslonnry
Movement organization for the en
tire South. He probably did more
thnn nny one other man In the
whole j South to crystallize that
movement which hns done marvel
ous work. Ho made a trip aroiyid
the world In the Interest of mis
sions—-gathering first hand Infor
mation about the work that Is pro
grossing In Asiatic and other coun<
trios and surveying the needs ot
the foreign fields. He made In
numerable pictures which have
been used in standard missionary
lectures in hundreds of churches.
Mr. Rowland has been a speaker
t great Laymen's Movement meet'
Inga in this city—in all the other
cities of the state and at th*
Northeast Georgia summer assem
bly grounds. He arrived yester
day at noon, made his report at
3:30 and left in the afternoon foi
his home In Athens. He is one big
business man who has been de
voting more than a tenth of his
entire Income to the work of the
cause he loves and some years al
most half his time In addition. H*
hns given children of his family,
too, to the foreign mission work.
R«v. Dr. Eugene Hill who preach
ed the sermon last night has an*
other distinction In this meeting-
being the only preacher from hlf
city and the only clerical repre
sentative from his entire presby
tery—ns his ruling elder. Dr. Hoop
er is the only lay representatlvf
from the entire presbytery of a
score of churches. Dr. Hill was n
leader two or three years ago In

oAlright—Let’s (jo!
pALL business in Athens has gained new
impetus during the past few days, and
there’s a healthy outlook for an increase
that will be perceptible in every line.
Commerce
Invention J There isn’t a store that isn't doing MORE
business than it did last year. Possibly a
little MORE effort has been put forth to
get it, but not much.
Our business is better—but we are a
store of many departments, and draw
our patronage from many sources.
Homes, offices, factories, stores, institu
tions, enterprises of every kind, students,
and individuals will find us amply able to
fill their demands for necessities and aids,
and we invite and appreciate your patron
age.
We can hdlp the business man get more
business; we can help'him handle it with
dispatch and efficiency. We can help the
student, the housewife, the stenographer,
and the man who enjoys autumn sports.
