To Those lii Arrears.
We are now m iking out a new set
of subscription books ami remodeling
our list. Accounts will be sent to
all who are in arrears, and it is earn
estly hoped that all who are indebted
to us will promptly resjiond. Patties
thus indebted will be given until the
15th of May in which to respond
after which all who are more than
one year in arrears will have their
names stricken from our subscription
list and proper means will be devised
for collecting amounts due. This
course is rendered necessary from
the tad that we are compelled to pay
cash for everything consumed, and ii
We tail to colled the hundreds ol
dollars due us and scattered all over
the country we not only do ourselves
great injustice but are unable to
prosecute our business and give our
patrons as good a paper as we would
bo pleased to send them.

npend a magnificent stock of Dry
Goods at No. 4, Granite Row, Broad

There is nothing of more vital im

The past liberality of Athens in this
matter has given her an honorable
distinction among the cities of the
State. No one will say that that
liberality lias been wasted. N ot to

C. D. Campbell. We heartily and
fully endorse his movement in behalf
of the Lucy Cobb Institute, and trust
there will be a prompt and cordial
response thereto on tho part of the
good citizens of Athens. Much at

and accomplishment of our sons.
Is it not just as essent ial to provide
equally for the education and accom

estimated in dollars and cents—the
reflex good that Athens herself lias
already realized, and that she must
hereafter continue to realize with
ever-increasing fulness, is not small.
But her educational facilities though
great, are not complete. One more
building is greatly needed, that is, a
Chapel for the Lucy Cobb Institute.
While there are accommodations tor
various professors and their classes,
there are none, or at least none such
as there ought to be, for the audi
ences that assemble to witness the
annual Commencement exercises.
The Hall to which they are compelled
to resort, was never designed for this
use and is poorly adopted to it. It
is therefore not a useless outlay that
is called for but a needed expendi
ture. There never was a more lavor
able time at which to make it. The
city was never as prosperous, her
trade wub nevermore rapidly on the
increase, there was never as large a

Under the above bendi’ig the

the following account of an accident
which happened to our fellow-towns

citizen having prompted him to say
to the building committee as I re
cently iKard it staled, that they
might draw on him for whatever was
needed to finish the work iu tho
highest style of elegance, and with
every pos-ihle convenience. With
these things before us it is apparent
that if our city would maintain its
advanced po-itiou in the matter of
Female Educa-imi she must add to
crat; but he was devoted to his
piof.-s8ion and never sought office.

Good Digestion.—“ Give us this
day our daily bread” and good tnedi-
ine to digest it, is both reverent and
I human. The human stomach arid'
liver aic fruitful suurces of life’s
comforts ; or disordered and diseased,
they tingle misery along every nerve
and through every artery. The man
or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routine of
life, where the dispeptic sees only
gloom and stumble- and growls at
even imaginary objects. The world
still needs two or three new kinds of *
medicine before death can be perfectly
