It this la true why not Athena hare a factory to make this wonderful mineral Into shlng- leato cover our domes Instead of shipping cedar Shingles from Brit ish Columbia and metal as well as tile from faraway Ohio. Why not have a hundred car loads a month to ship away In stead of shipping In our actual needs? Why cannot Athens hare a can ning factory for canning what things that go to waste, sued as tomatoes, beans, cabbage, apples, peaches, etc. We eat tour kraut at the "Hot-Dog", stands that la raised and canned In far away California. We are served toma toes and com (out of season.) that are canned ho nearer to ua than Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland. We cat canned peas grown In Michigan. We an dose enough to the hardwood belt to have, chairs, all kinds of furnltur, fixtures, of fice desks, tablet, etc., factories. We have the electric power, people who need employment, the brains and the capital, It we would only put all these force* together and get busy. Why not build automobiles in Athena? And have some, money coming Into our banks rather than haring It.going out We have the talent to run all such enterprises for we lose such talent as we have nothing for them to do, and it la natural tor them to go to other stales and help manufacture the above named commodities, am) ship back to up here. What are wo going to do about It? Arc wo going to alt Idle and go backward? What la the matter with our chamber of Commerce, that they do not get busy and ge( some-of these enterprises? What Ore Chambers of commerce for. anyway? AN ATHENIAN GAMBLERS BEING DEVELOPED BY WHOLESALE >IN ATHENS I desire to call the attention of tho law abiding. Cod fearing, cit izens of Athena to the punch board gambling devices, which are being operated daily In many of the places of business In Athens. Not only dtt many of our older men play these punch boards, thus setting a bad example for the young, but our high school boys and college boys, boys and young men who work, are crowding the counters by the hundreds where Illegal gambling devices ore hi operation. Tho punch board has born nut. luwod. uml has born passed oh a- being clearly a gambling game nl chance. This has been a growing evil In Athena during tho last few years, until at this Christman time, when tho Birth of Jesus Christ ,who came.to save mon fro mtholr sin, It being celebrated, many of our | merchants—In order, to sell moro [ candy,' more cigar.,, moro toilet sets, or anything which they do- slrb to put up—are appealing to tho Christmas custom of giving to take a chance; punch a hole and win a gift for perhaps one cent, ten cents, or ninety-nine cents. And, so It goes on, many young boys of the grammar and high school age, college hoys,' as well as many who are at work early for a living, are taught to try and get something for less than its value, which Is the appeal that finally makes a confirmed gambler of one, who Indulges Jn games of chance. v I do not know why this law vio lation has been allowed to con tinue to openly In so many ol Athena’ leading stores, but'It has, and I, for ono. who for twenty-five yegra has had to deal with the boys of this city and of the Uni versity of Georgia, and who knows tho destruction of clmracter which resulta from «uch lawless prae- 11 cos, am entering my protest pub licly. because the gambling Is be ing done publicly. As a citizen and tax payer I am calling on tho constituted authori ties to lhave this law violation stopped. WALTER T. FORBES.

CHEAPEST PLACE IN TOWN Read Banner-Herald Wants THE CHILD ON THE SEAL * (Contributed) Hava you Been her? She Is stretching forth her bands to you aa she looks into tho face of the genial old man who typifies the spirit of Christmas and of love. Do you sat her as she bo confidently looks up ex pecting, longing, wondering why the other children are so happy with their own mothers and tier's had t oleave her juit a year ago, victim of the dread tuberculosis. No answer can be given this winsome little being who Is fortunate in having much of love given her and whose com forting much la done, the ques tion must remain In the mind and the longing In the heart but there are so many lacking the ministries of love, simply left bereft by the same White Plague which strikes the high and low alike. Did yon see that/ lovely baby In the hospital here for weeks, the pet of the nurses until a distant relative took It Into her itomeT So beautiful a specimen of baby hood is rare and the doctors said the wee girl was untaint ed. was perfect though the parents are tubercular, the 'father a disabled soldler-do you not see these arms held out to you as you look at the seal of the Antl-Tnbercnlosls Association? The doctors say that this mother may live-and the disease bo arrested, “If she can have fresh air and rest and tho proper food.” This must lie provided for her, and or many in like, condition, for she has not the money and the father lost hi* health in offer ing his life for his country and yours. Shall these baby arms be held out in .vain? The boy hud a fine face, n« features go, but there was a hardness that arrested one's notice even In the crowd, he saw the seals being sold, lis tened to the gentle girl as she spoke with the kindly man who asked about the success of the day's selling. Taking >nm*- change from his pocket tin* boy said “take this," and there was a softening of tho stony face, “I know all about that disease, my mother died of that and I was just a little kid and couldn't work much and she just couldn't rest like the doctor said she ought, and the* sunshine didn’t seem to get Into oar pert of the house much and the didn’t hate no chance” With a look as though ashamed of this unusual talk ativeness the young chap went off With head up and one felt sure there was a hard hurt In the heart that wanted to help “gtv% a chance" to aome other boy's mother. And what then do you see on the seal? The child aud tho'Santa but have yon no ticed in tho upper corners that emblem of suffering such as no man can imagine? Look again and as you look, see Him who .van I,ovo carnal**, .ml h’*ar that voice of "love be yond all love excelling” as it hays “( am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundant- 17."
