Thoughts For The Day
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood,
and ettabluheth a city by iniquity.—Hab. 2:12.
We ought never to sport with pain and distress
in any of our amusements, or treat even the mean
est insect with wanton cruelty.—Blair.
THE CARNIVAL HAS COMMAND GONE
Athens has closed a week of carnival and street
shows. If the morals of the community have been
improved and the city’s treasury embellished from
their stay with tax money which was due the city,
for licenses, good and well, but in our opinion there
has been no profit to the community resulting from
the visit of this aggregation.
That Athens people do not desire such attractions
Has been shown by the action of civic bodies, educa
tional institutions and churches. It was indeed un
fortunate that the mayor and council granted free
licenses and use of the streets. It would have been
far better arid legal if they had required the lawful
collection of: taxes and forced them to exhibit on
some lot on the outskirts of the city.
However, we all make mistakes and we are prone
to do wrong, but when it comes home to us as
strong as this case has to the mayor and council, we
hope that when application is made again for such
an attraction that the authorities will see to it that
these traveling organizations be required tt) pay the
specific taX as fixed by ordinance anfl prohibit them
from blocking our streets and demoralizing the
business district of the city- i *

TRADE MONTH CONTINUES SUCCESSFUL
Saturday was one of the biggest sales days yet held
during Trade Month. All the merchants offered
special bargains and purchasers from this entire sec
tion thronged the stores .throughout the day. More
cash money has been in circulation since the inaugu
ration of thege sales than has been in Athens in a
number of years which is positive proof of better
times and a rapid recovery to normalcy.
Much cotton is being sold and the money spent
and deposited in the banks. The warehouse receipts
nhow a large increase in cotton storage and those
who are holding their cotton are-well prepared to
tide over the year from their by-products, vegetables,
poultry, milk, butter and hogs. The farmers in
this section have learned to live at home and practi
cally every one of them are in good W— ;:nstanoes
: nd prepared for another year without being forced
to borrow from the banks or to make purchases on
credit-
It is an encouraging sign and one which is the
forerunner of prosperity, stable and sound condi
tions and an absolute recovery from the period of
depression our people have suffered for the past
three years. . _
CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR SALE
The local organization charged with the sale of
Christmas seals are making preparations for the in
auguration of the sale to be commenced at an early
date. This work is one most commendable and
sh* uld receive the support and encouragement of ail
citizen!-. Every dollar received from the sale go to
the fund for the benefit of the tubercular sufferers.
Last year the sales here were sufficient to enable
the local organization to employ a nurse for the un
fortunate in this community- It is highly import
ant that this nuAe be retained permanently for thia
work in the county. In order to do so, the sales must
come up to those of last year and even increase as
there are so many expenses attached to the conduct
of anti-tubercular treatment, every dollar realized
from the sales can be used to advantage and for the/
relief of suffering humanity.
Every letter, Christmas card and package and ev
ery piece of mail sent out from business houses and
individuals should carry with It a Christmas seal.
Remember the cause for which the seals are being
cold and do not forget to buy seals and use them on
all occasions and for all mail matter deposited in the
post office.
Th«;cause is deserving; it is for the relief of those
stricken with that dreadful disease—Tuberculosis.
WW titq people of Athens fail to rally to the call?

Monday is circus day in Athens. The little tots
as well as the grown ups will be making their way
to town and those in town will be making their way
to .the show grounds. Nothing in the amusement line
takes the place of the circus, the animals and the
red lemonade. It is a popular amusement and strict
ly an American entertainment just as baseball is in
sports.
A BOOST
It's qrilte the proper thing of lato
To knock, the belabor and berate
Our country for its backward state
In ways artistic.
To say that dollars are our goal
And all wp think of Is “a roll,”
And that our people have a soul
Commerclslistlc.
I'm fed up.on that sort of stuff.
We like the shekels well enough
And so, in Spite of all their bluff,
Do other nations.
But for the poet’s singing line,
For music, painting and design
We, too, possess some very fine
Appreciations.
Commercial? That we can’t deny.
And thaV undoubtedly. Is why
These uncommercial peoples vie
To tap our coffer.
And artists, singers, actors come
Fromo everywhere In Christendom
Because we’ll pay the largest sum
* For what they offer!
I’m sick of supercilious cliques,:
Who with the masses never mix,
And yet who will presume to fix
Our state artistic.
Get down beneath the surface find
Th# ■omI of us, the heard and mind.
You’ve got a hunch, fair, generous,
kind.
Idealistic!
So, though to knock Is quite the
■tyle,
I choose to wave the flag awhile!
Representatives tVimberly and Riley are trying
to adjourn the legislature. What is the matter with
these fellows, anyhow? They should know that the
legislators are waiting for Santa Claus' time to

We have found our dog and
peace and happiness reigns
again in the household. Did *
you ever own a dog? If you
have not. you cannot appreciate
the attachment which springs up be-
twee the do? and the children. The
dog soon “grows” Into the lives
of the children as one of the mem
bers of the family and when lost,
strayed, stolen or dead there Is
mourning In the household which
bs’ngs on sleepless nights and al
most nervous prostration. Thurs
day evening Dr. E. L. Hill read
Ihe notice of the lost dog and
phoned to 163 the news that he
had seen the missing Airdale In
his yard that afternoon. That was
glorious news to the proud owner
of the pup. The next mqrnlng Dr.
Hill mustered his.force of serv
ants and had them commence a
search for the much-wanted dog.
