Athens, Ua , December I —’’Stand back, gentlemen, don’t rush! Ever since the first Saturday the dis pensary opened in Athens, these words were be^rd uttered by a big policeman to the eager t hrong of customers pour ing into the doors iu almost overpower ing crowds, those who watched the scene have known that this same dis pensary is the biggest concern in Geor gia today. It beats a circus in drawing crowds and downs a Spanish bull fight in gen uine amusement, in that the crowds al ways carry away with them their money’s worth. It is simply immense, unique, out of sight. Seriously, though—for there is a se rious side to the dispensary—this in stitution is the pride and wonder of every Athenian citizen. If it bad no other feature to appeal in itSibehalt than being new uqder the sun, it would, of course, in this day and time arouse thoughtful consideration from the gen eral public and the body politic with a rightful claim for recognition. .

Pretty “Mamie” Dickens was already considered by those who knew Charles Dickens best to be the novelist’s favor ite daughter. To none of his children, perhaps, was Dickens more affection ately attached, and the “p*>t daughter” saw much of her father under all cir cumstances. When even the dogs were chased oat of the novelist’s stuay, Ma mie was allowed to slay The daugh ter is now a full-grown woman, living quietly just outside of London. For the first time since her father’s death, Miss Dickons has been persuaded to write of him whom she knew so well. Daring 1892 there will be published in The Ladies’ Home Journal, of Philadelphia, a series of articles by Miss Dickens under the at tractive title of “My Father as I Knew Him ” Fortunately for the thousands who will read what she writes in this series, Miss Dickens has a retentive memory, and she made copious notes during her father’s lifetime. She will tell in this series everything she re members of her father; how he educated his children; bis family life and his personal habits; bow he wrote bis famous books; his love of flowers and animals is an institution established by popular vote. It is a child, so to speak, over whose nativity the Georgia legislature, in all its wisdom and infinite power £ resided with willing approbation. It i a fixture. It is here to stay, and no body objects to its presence unless it be the “blind tigers” who have been driv en from the eity of Athens by its estab lishment. So much for the mere introduction cf 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 gobbled dowiTl tloic leaving the den, thus throwing into the public streets many a drunken fellow, who pcrhap> would not have so debauched bad h- been forced to carry his pint or quarr bottle home with him The courts show a smaller record ot oases for d-unkennes* now than before, so 1 am reliably assured. All in all, the dispensary is a success It has done much for Athens. It was a compromise measure, and everybody is glad that ir has so harmoniously set tled tbe troublesome dispute over pro hibition If it continues to work as safely and as satisfactorily for Athens’ good as it is doing now, :h«* people of this good and Classic Ciu . will continue to bear the ills they have rather than fly to those they know not, of Rxmsbn Crawford For Boils, Pimples carbuncles, scrofulous sores, eczema, and all other blood diseases, take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla It will relieve and cure dyspepsia, nervous debility, and that tired feeling. .

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.

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 More Fine Carriages.—The liverv men of Athens will soon add to their outfit several handsome carriages, and make their stables capable of supplying every demand of Athens in this line.
