Ever since the first Saturday the dis

money’s worth. It is simply immense,
unique, out of sight.
Seriously, though—for there is a se

every Athenian citizen. If it bad no

the Athens dispensary.
HOW IT WAS ESTABLISHED.
But a few months ago, when ela&sic
Athena was wrought up to intense pas
sion by the excited environments of a
heated prohibition campaign, when her
best citizens were divided and wrang
ling over the merits of the issues at
stake, when good men—men with heads
grown wise with experience and frost
ed with years—were upon the platform
night after night speaking for the Isw
and order, peace and harmony, some
claiming this could be reached only
through total prohibition; others plead
ing for open barrooms in preference to
the mere farce of prohibition that had
been experienced in Clarke county—at
a time the dispensary came to be a talk
ed of matter.
Under the conditions surrounding its
origin it rapidly grew to be a living
ty. It was a compromise measure
which the prohibitionists succeeded in
carrying through by a very small vote
—about a dozen mafority.
The election over the matter was car
ried to the legislature, and there re
ceived the endorsement of the great
State of Georgia.
It y&B not long before it was in full
operation and attracting the curious
gaze of the whole state as a solution of
the vexed prohibition question.
Three commissioners were appointed
by the city council to take charge of
tne dispensary. They were Judge
Alex Erwin, R K. Reaves and A E
Griffith. Two managers were appoint
ed by these commissioners—Messrs.
Macon Johnson and John Ritoh. All are
prominent citizens, affable gentlemen,
and men who take prominent places in
their respective churches. They are
The first month the dispensary \
in operation its receipts form sales of
whiskey and be-r aud vinous liqnors
amounted to $7,000,
After payiug the expenses of the
month and figuring o.it the “net mon
ey,” as it is called, it cleared only $1,-
500 (about that,) which was turned
over to the city’s treasurer.
This money can be used for an” pur
pose that the council may specify for
tho welfare and development of the
city.
The second month, I am told by the
manager, will not show up a* large
sale, and hence not as large a profit for
the city, bur, December, it is thought,
will run far a^ove it.
November suits have only amounted
to about $5,000
THKWi IS L-as DRUNKENESS
Everybody agrees that there is less
drunkeness in A hens now than when
the blind tigers ruled supreme.
The liquor is sold at the dispensary
but is not allowed to b« opened there
l’be packages hs v - to be taken away,
and this is better than a system of blind
tigers, where drink after drink was

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.
After a Brief Illness Mrs. Williams, of
Georgia Factory, Dies.
On Monday afternoon, Mrs. Etnaline
Williams, wife of Mr. Thompson Wil
liams, of Georgia Factory, died, after a
very brief illness. She was attacked
with fever in a most violent form, only
a few days ago, and after much suffer
ing, she was called home.
Mr3. Williams was a most estimable
Christian woman, having been a de
voted member of the Methodist church
since fcbildhood, and was no 4oubt
ready when death came.
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev. E D Stone, occurred at the resi
dence Wednesday, and were largely at
tended by relatives and friends, it
was a source of regret that her brother,
Mr. W. J Hale, of Conyers, did not
reach here in time for the fnoeral ser
vices.
Mrs. Williams leaves a strioken hus
band, who has been confined to a bed
of sickness for three months, a number
of children and many friends to mourn
her death.

SEVERELYI NJURED
Mr. A. H. M. Bennett, an old gentle
man living in East Athens sustained
rather severe injuries Wedm s lay from a
sudden fall in the Council Chamber.
Mr. Bennett had been at the polling
precint at the First ward all day as one
the managers and had come to the
Council Chamber with the
rest to consolidate the
returns. While stauding in tbe room,
he was seized with an epileptic fit, to
which he is subject and fell to the floor
In falling he struck his head violently
against the corner of a table cutting
quite a painful ga«b, and Causing him
to bleed profusely.
His wound was properly dressed and
he was sent home aud is now getting
along nicely.
HOW THE THING WORKS
Everybody in Athens says the dispen
sary is a success—a blooming success.
The fact cannot be disputed that the
dispensary is ostensibly running
smoothly and doing good.
It is doing good to this extent, it
prevents the evil of the illegal sale of
whiBkey.
Anybody and everybody goes to the
dispensary for whiskey, except stu
dents of the University and drunkards.
Sometimes the drunkards go, but they
don’t get what they go for, the manat
gers informing them that they “are
very sorry, but the truth is the law
won’t allow ns to sell it to you.”
No man at all tipsy can bay whisky
at the dispensary. Anybody more than
21 years old and Bober can get it, pro
vided he does not go to college on the
State’s cherished University.
Ladies go there. Of coarse, not as^a
regular practice, but whenever they
want to get whisky
for medicinal purposes, or
wine for their delightful sauces. It is
not considered as a barroom. The la
dies very frequently “run in” for a
“small purchase” while on their fre
quent little shopping toun down town,
and thev are thought none the less for
so doing.
Why should they be?
Why, Methodist preachers go into
the dispensary, so 1 am told by the
managers. “We have had several
Methodist preachers to come in here
and get their whiskey for medical pur j

While on a visit to her daughter,

While herdeatb was seemingly un
timely, yet it was uot altogether un-
lookcd for by her children and friends.
Having had several previous attacks of
paralysis, she was tenderly watched
and cared for by her children and
friends, until Friday night last, when
she was again stricken with paralysis
from the effects of which she did not
survive.
Mrs. Rosenfield was well known
among tbe Israelites of Atlanta, Augus
ta and Athens for her benevolent, ebar-
ifable and kind-hearted disposition.
She leaves a husband, who resides in
Augusta, her married daughter, Mrs.
A. Joel, of this city, Mrs. A. L. Fer-
stenbuig, of Anderson, S. C., and a
host of relatives and friends, who
mourn her untimely death.
Glen Alpine Station, N. C. Feb. 13th.
----- i This is to certify that three years ago
poses,” said one of the managers to me , _ . . . "
the other day. I had my left leg amputated four inches
“They buy it as medicine,” he con- I below the knee, caused by blood poison
tinued, “atr 1 they do not feel a particle j and bone affection. After it was am-
of hesitancy about coming iu here for it. putated there came s running ulcer on
no more than they would feel about go- the ’ end of Jt that
ing into a drug store for it, don’t you
see?”
“I at a loss to know just how a Meth
odist preacher would ask for his medi
cine,” i remarked to one of the men
standing by.
“Why, just like any other man would
ask for it. The Methodist preacher al
ways gets the best whisky. He dosen’t
want much, hut lie wants it good when
he does get it. Of course he only wants
it for some medicinal purpose, and
therefore wants it pure.”
THE STUDENT “NOT IN IT.”
A student told me the other day that
it was “N. G.” in Athens now trying
to get a drink. Blind tigers used to be
in easy reach whenever the boys want
ed something to moisten their tongues,
but it don’t go now. Not much.
Be it said to tbe credit of tbe boys, as
measured 3)4 inches
one way and 4% inches the other, and
continued growing worse everyday un
til a short time ago. I was given up to
die by the best doctors in Charlotte. I
heard of the wonderful B. B. B. I re
solved to try that. My weight at the
time I commenced B. B. B. was 120
pounds. When I had taken three bot-
tles I gained 37 pounds in weight;
when I had taken twelve bottles, I
was sound and well, but continued tak
ing until I had taken fifteen bottles I
now weigh 180 pounds and measure five
feet and three inches high. I conteud
that- our medicine has no equal as a
blood purifier. It certainly worked
like a charm. J. R. WILSON.
