Every buyer in this section of the state will share in the profits of the merchants’ r sale and receive the benefits which have been pro vided in every line of business', iv At no time has there been greater inducements of* 1 fered than at this time for the consumers to get the very highest grades of merchandise at reasonable prices and at the same time share in the profits. It is a'.money-saving campaign and those who do not V iak* advantage of "Trade Month” in Athens will he the losers. Bach week prizes will be given away in addition to the general prizes which will be distributed on the closing day, December 4. These major prizes are 1 all Valuable and desirable. It is an opportunity .Which seldom comes to the buying public and one which the entire populace should be interested. ’ Athens as a market is one of the best in the south. | .Here you will find large department stores, shoe stores, clothing stores, ready-to-wear, drygoods F stores, hardware and in fact the merchants of Athens carry just as complete stocks as can be found in At lanta or arty other city of importance in this section of the country. The prices are just as cheap and in maiiy cases cheaper than can be purchased in Atlan ta, besides the saving of railroad fare and hotel bills. Tile same grade and .quality of goods, bought from the "Same manufacturers are sold by the Athens mer chants that are sold in the larger cities of the state, but at prices lower. This month is a money .savings month for the consumer in all the stores of Athens. Our merchants have opened their stocks to the. trade of this section and at prices which can not be dupli- sited and, no doubt, never will be again. It is an opportunity which comes but seldom in life and every buyer in this section should avail themselves of tin's great buyers opportunity. COMMERCIAL ,HATCftERIES The Banner-Herald has advocated for sometime the c ablishmcnt of commercial hatcheries here and in this section of the state,. Since its advocacy of these industries, there has been a number of large plants installed in this surrounding section. The Savannah Morning Hews in speaking of the industry has tl.o following to say: Northeast Georgia is following the load of South Georgia in installing commercial hatch- cribs—as well as in the establishment of cream eries; for fifty years it has boon raising more chickens and eggs than an y other part of the | ;-t; te in the natural way . In several North- easf. Georgia towns, as long ago as twenty-five years, the express companies had to put on extra express cars dally to handle the shipments of chickens and eggs. Now that hatcheries arc iii:.:alled and Abe business put on a wider busi- . ness basis the industry should expand enormous ly. 'Athene citizens should take the lead in the cstab- livii rent or public hatcheries . There is no Industry .w hich will pay u larger dividend to its stockholders and on as small an investment. It will not require •a largo amount of stock in dollars and cents to estab lish a number of these hatcheries. The products will find a ready sale in the markets of tho larger cities and ar. fast as these chickens can bo hatched, there w ill be a demand for them. . The project is worth thinking of and the organi sation of a stock company would find in its opera tion .. profitable and substantial business. tv. ■ SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE ' Ti ere are rumors going the rounds of the press of the ; :nte that there is an organized movement to de feat any tax legislation which may be brought before tho special session of the legislature which is to con vene on November 7th. It has been intimated in the .'.reports or rumors that the purpose of those in to;. ted in the movement to defeat any proposed tax me a. ;ro i3 coming from the political enemies of Governor Walker in order to embarrass him and his administration. Whether these reports are true or 'ix.tj there seems to be moulding, through some pro- ccs, opposition to any bill which may be introduced k. .king towards a sane and substantial tax measure. It i . to be deplored that such a condition should arise in this state and the member of the legislature crhjltv’nf such conduct should be impeached and re- rr , t from office. Whether a representative has political aspirations or whether he has political de signs on the governor to aid in bringing opposition to hi m next year is not a matter which should Be ln ought into this all-important special session of the l. gislature. This call was issued by the governor for the specific purpose of giving to Georgia a tax system, which will provide a sufficiency for the sup port of its educational institutions and for the main- aanee of the various departments of the govern-' Whether it was wise action on the part of e-.emor in calling an extra session is not a de- ible question nt this time- The call has been is- twerl and a specific purpose has been stated in the call and it is a duty and obligation the representa tives owe to the people of Georgia to meet and work out some form of taxation which will bring in to the treasury of Georgia a-aufficiency to meet the ex- ! penscs of the state and to meet the indebtedness ac- ’ crued. The people of Georgia will not submit to wrangling and bickering on the part of representa tive,, for political purposes, but they will expect them to enter into the se sion for the purpose of passing tax legislation which will relieve the poverty-stricken condition the state is now in. fi She thinks “The Bat” is Babe Rath’s play.

The plumber for hl» J charges and the butcher for hla tough meats. We suspeqt, bowover, that the plumber and the butcher have their troubles to contend with Just as we do In other lines, but they occupy a field which affords more -room for crifclsm and one which reaches us in a way whlc! arouses our tempers easier than it it were a pair of shoes too small, or a hat too large, or a necktei too loud.

An old Scotchman had .this expetfenc* with one of his customers which fs not uncommon with a great man; of us. and It will do as a reminder maybe: “The old Scottish butcher no tlceii that one of hla customers had not been visiting his shop lately and so he made up his m*nd to asl her th»» reason for her falling ofs when he next'saw her. “ ‘Why do ye no’ buy your mea* pff me 00?* he asked when he met her d few days later. ** ‘Well,’ replied the old woman, •the last I got frae ye I could hac soled my fcults wl’ it.’ “ ’An’ why did ye no* then,’ ask ed the other, sarcastically. “ *So J wld if I could -bae got h the tacks to go through it,’ was the sharp reply.’’ Charley Hodgson says that,Con gressman Brand tells him he has seen the Government ' authorities about building a permanent high way through the Flatwocd of Og lethorpe county and if the state highway commission will accept this road the government will as sist in building it. It would de velop a fine farming and timber section, and should jje constructed.
