This is one of the costliest pic tures made and has long runs to crowded houses In the large cities. must not miss seeing Norma Talmadge in “Ashes of Vengeance. The most pressing work before ir organized bodies of business men is that of building good high ways Into our city, and the most Important road of all Is the Bank head highway. Secretary Carroll has Just received a new road map showing the condition of t»*e Bank- head highway compared with val road that turns off it Raleigh N. C., and goes via Augusta, With one or two short skips, the Augusta road ,is either cement or hard surfaced. But the Bank head highway, from Hartwell to Macon is marked “poor,” except two short stretches around Athenp and Madison. The Augusta 'route Is also considerably shorter. This map shows that South Georgia checkered with splendid roads, while the country tributary to Athens is outrageously neglected. Call on Mr. Carroll and 3ee that map and then let us nil get to work nod have this misstng link in the Bankhead highway put in condition. will prepare Iff the swamp and tamed j 14 time corneahucklnga are | more bfUttiftaid {'onrw *:fhe nty followed by barbecues stead of the little brown Jug, aa] Baptist Maxeys fine dinner for all ho attend.

But Mr. Smith made tho mistake of delaying put ting on poison until the weevils got well set. Farmers have learn ed that they must begin to apply poison before a square appears and then keep on poisoning until the crop Is. made. Farmers from Greene county are bringing pigs and poultry to our curb mbarket. One far me;* sold Saturday eight beautiful shouts at 84.50 each. He tells us that far mers in Greene who planted cotton and used poison made a half bale nnd next year they will plant a full crop of cotton. The danger Is that farmers will next year plant their house tops and front yards In the staple .and If we have a wet year the boll weevil will surely get them. Several ladles have asked that we urge upon our citizens the lmpor tance of Athens having a public H-r Vrary. It is the only city of Its population and an educational cen ter at that, without a public brary. Doubtless arrangements could be niitde with the manage ment of the Y. M. C .A. to take care of the library. Suppose Mrs. J. R. Findley, of Maxeys Is in a serious condition. The doc tor thinks she was In some way poisoned by eatnlg food.

In Madison county this year made 18, bales 'on 80 aefes) and says many of his people did as well Besides they have plenty of hog and hom iny. Mr. Williams says farmers have learned how to whip the boll weevil and by the intelligent use of poison can make about as much cotton per acre us •ever, but they must cut the acreage to about five acres to the plow. The success of the curb market shows that one of the needs of Ath-* > a regular market house, where farmers can bring their pro duce.

It said that Mrs. Troutman is a successful a farmer as the In n ! fine 'business woman. The Bank of Lexington publish- * a paid advertisement in the Kcho as follows; “in every sec tion farmers are finding a good herd of milch cows, well cared for. 1» a source of profit.

The bridges across Long and Buffalo creeks, on the Athens- Washington highway have been re paired by the State Highway Department and 'are again ready for use.
