the otlper day that tys cook waa
afflicted with tuberculosis.

can help do It. When you are

MANY OTHER
DIVIDENDS
In addition to the bank dividends
land savings accounts that will bo

swell the amounts to possibly a

Tho next two weeks arc certain
to be busiest of the year for the
I merchants of Athens. The larger
cotton crop and the increase in
price will greatly stimulate buy

instances the public has Np**#ial
funds to fall back upon for the
