City’s Tax Returns Swelled.
The pace for the development of Ath
ens for the last three years has un
doubtedly been set by the Athens Park
and Improvement Co., the developer!
of the large area in the Western por
tion of the city. The first half of tht
three years showed tremendous activity
in all lines of business and a magnifi
cent increase in the city tax returns—
the last half has shown the effects of
the stagnation throughout the South,
but Athens has grown steadily and the
Improvement Co. has pushed its busi
ness so successfully that handsome
dwellings are dotted all over the prop
erty and scores of our citizens* are in
terested, through their ownership ol
lots, in the prosperity of this charming
section of the city. J ust three year*
ago the company was organized by
eleven enterprising citizens who saw an
opportunity for development in a por
tion of the city that had been neglected
or overlooked. Every objectionable
leaturc was removed from the property
and & clean sweep was made of all cab
ins and hovels that disfigured the land
scape. Immediately negotiations were
entered into with the Street Railroad
Company to displace their slow going
mules with chained lightning, and as
the outcome of a handsome bonus, the
electric line was put in operation on
the Boulevard, the magnificent avenue
that cuts the property in two and upon
which the company spent thousands of
dollars. Since that time streets and
avenues have „been opened and graded
by the company at its own expense and
a great sale held that resulted most suc
cessfully. T* pave the way for this
sale the city and its advantages were
thoroughly advertised in all portions of
the United States. So thoroughly has
tho general public been convinced of
the value of some Bites in this portion
•f the city that notwithstanding the
general depression in real estate during
the past year not a single lot of the
forty that have been sold since the sale
brought a less price than then real
ized.
The present officers of the company
are Mr. W. S. Holman, President; Mr.
J. N. Booth, vice-President ; Mr. C. W.
Baldwin, Treasurer; and Mr. C. D.
Flanigen, Secretary and Manager. The
board of directors is composed of these
officers and Messrs* E. T. Brown, G. M.
Booth, E. K. Lumpkin and J. T. Voss.
The company has gotten past the ex
perimental stage, and is, today, a pro
nounced succcbs as, property has in
creased in value wonderfully and the
oity’s treasury has been largely swelled
as a consequence. From a ten thousand

Devices for Tightening Tires and lifting
the Wagon Box Off and On.
The expense of equipment and of oil
and the bother of the performance are
objections urged against the hot oil
process of tightening tires by an Ohio
Farmer correspondent who has tried and
recommends in preference the following
plan: The way to tighten tires is to place
a leather washer between the shoulders
of spokes and felly. This plan allows
of driving the spokes into the hubs as
solid as new. Fig. 1 in the accompany
ing cut shows how with a lever and ful
crum resting on the hub (don’t take the
wheel off the vehicle) the felly can be
easily lifted sufficiently to slip a split
washer made of hard leather (see Fig. 2)
between spoke and felly. Old harness
strap or old boot leather makes good
washers. Fold the leather as in Fig. S
to cut the hole to fit the spoke tenon,
then divide one side of the washer. Use
the hammer over each spoke more or
less freely, according to strength and
size of the wheel. Set the wheel to
gether strong, if possible. Don’t trim
outside of washer until yon are through.
This plan is far better than any black
smith can do because you know just
what you are doing to a hairbreadth.
You can give the wheel exactly the dish
needed and will have no difficulty with
rim bound wheels afterward. Where
there is a looseness between felly, spoke
and hub there is no way on earth for
the blacksmith to tell how much to up
set the tire. The way we happened 'a
“get on to” the scheme was because the
tires on a speeding sulky needed setting.
We had tried the oil process, and it was
dollars to apples that the blacksmith
would ruin the wheels. In studying th«
matter it luckily dawned on our mind
that leather washers would do the busi
ness, and they did, as the wheels have
stood several years’ hard usage and have
never flinched. The plan has worked
equally well on all manner of vehicles.
If the wagon is old and the spokes
very loose in hub it may be necessary to
fasten them in the hub with nails or
wood wedges, or the prying will lift the
spoke out of the hub instead of the felly
off its tenon. With nicely painted car
riages use light washers and great care
in trimming the washers close. If the
wheels are entirely dry when tires are
tightened this way and kept well paint-

ed they will never need tightening again.
The rims of wheels should be painted
from one to four times a year, according
to usage.

Men ann Manners.
Tl:ere is infinitely more wisdom In sub

George Stephenson, on being urged to
wear gloves when about to be admitted to
an audience with the king of Belgium,
said that he was only a plain man, and if
the king of Belgium could not receive him
in nature’s gloves, clean washed, he need
not receive hint at all.
It Is not probable that the king would
have thought more of Mr. Stephenson had
he worn gloves, but his failure to conform
to a court rule of which he was well aware
was a lack of courtesy that might well be
censured.

A Good Sweet Picltle for Hams.
The first thing to be looked after is to
get your hams salt enough to keep well
and not so salt as to make them hard
and injure their flavor. Make your
brine just strong enough to float an egg.
Then stir in enough sugar or New Or
leans molasses to give it a rather sweet
ish taste, and in every six gallons of the
pickle dissolve from two to three ounces
of saltpeter.. Stir up yonr pickle and
skim off all impurities before using it.
Keep the hams weighted down and cov
ered with this pickle for from four to
seven weeks, depending on their size
and the temperature of the Weather.
In mild weather small hams will be
salt enough in three weeks, but in a
freezing temperature no exact time can
be indicated in advance. Small and
large sizes should be pickled separately;
otherwise some will be too salt and
some too fresh. Persons experienced in
the business can tell pretty accurately
from their appearance when the hams
are salt enough to be taken out for
smoking, but where there is doubt it is
well to cut one and see that the salt has
gone into the bone. Smoke with hickory
wood or corncobs. Never' salt any part
of the hog until the animal heat is all
out of the carcass.

There is no house in Athens that
has done more to bring the city np
to its present high commercial
standing than that of Mr. Cnas.
Morris.
Iu fact a resume of the progress
and prosperity of the city without a
history of this mammoth enterprise
wou:d be incomplete so closely has
the name of Chas. Morris, clothier,
halter and furnisher, become iden
tified with progressive and superior
merchandising in Athens. Foun
ded on good business judgement—
supported by ample capital—backed
by sound and honest principle-,
moved by push, pluck and enter
prise, led on by friendly encourage
ment and liberal patronage, guard
ed by close attention and strict ap
plication to the patron’s interest, al
most with one bound, in a magical
manner, this establishment springs
into universal popularity and favor
• THE BEGINNING.
Less than 12 months ago as Mr.
Morris expressed it himself, he
made up bis mind to go into the
clothing and furnishing business,
and give Athens an establishment
of this kind the equal of anything
south of Mason and Dixon’s line,
and he has certainly carried out
that intention. With less than two
seasons in the trade Mr. Morris’
business has already reached such
gigantic proportions that he is hard-
y able to realize it himself. He to
day does by long odds the most ex
tensive and satisfactory retail cloth -
ing business ever done by.any firm
in Athene, and his store and stock
is the cynosure of all eyes. His
stock without any exaggeration has
never been approached by anything
ever exhibited in Northeast Georgia
before.
THE STOCK.
His stock of mens and boys
clothing is the largest and moat se
lect, most fashionable, best made,
best fits, latest patterns and nobbi*
est effects ever brought into a Geor
giatowr, the size of Athens. This
clothing is manufactured by the
most celebrated manufacturers in
the United States, and bears stamps
that are household terms in fashion
able dress circlet.
His stock of hats comprises every
make, style, and shape known to the
trade of fashionable centres, in
silks, stiff crush caps and headware
novelties. It is the winder and ad
miration of all who see it,

are to be found in the stocks that
are strictly in keeping with the high
standard of the other goods named.
It is often remarked that there are
more well and stylishly dressed men
aad buys, seen on the streets of
Athens and surrounding towns today
than there ever was before in the
history of this country, and to Mr.
Morris, the young Napoleon of the
clothing trade, the credit for this is
undoubtedly due. His has simpli
fied the problem—increased the
facilities, and brought the pleasure

HEATING THE POULTRY HOUSE.
A Cheap and Handy Heater Designed by
a Hammonton Poultry Woman.
A poultry house heater, emanating
from that well known center of incu
bator interests—Hammonton, N. J.—is
illustrated by Farm and Fireside, which
says that it costs so little and can be so
quickly and easily arranged as to com
mend itself at a glance.
An ordinary lamp, having a tin chim
ney, with a piece of mica in front of the
chimney, so as to show the flame, is sur
rounded by an ordinary stovepipe—the
larger the pipe the better—or a sheet
iron or tin pipe may he made for the
purpose, a beard being arranged at the
bottom of the pipe, by tacking the pipe
to the board, for the lamp to rest en;
or, if preferred, two cross strips may be
placed at the bottom in place of the
hoard, as they will allow more air to
come in. Airholes are entail around the
pipe, so as to permit of a free circulation
of air. A sliding door or one to raise np
and down may be arranged for placing
the lamp in the pipe or for taking it out
for filling, or the bottom strips may be
arranged for that purpose. No solder
is used. All the parts should be riveted.
At the top is a crosspiece, also made of
iron or tin, the arrows indicating the
direction of the heat.
A CHEAP POULTRY HOUSE HEATER.
The heater may be hung up by wire,
which is attached to the hook shown on
top, from th® roof, but within three feet
of the floor to. prevent interference or
contact by the fowls. If preferred, the
heater may rest on the floor, hut should
then be protected by a wire cage to pro
tect against the hens. Any kind of lamp
or small coal oil stove may be used, but
the chimney should be of tin—riveted,
not soldered. It is best to have the
whole heater made by a tinner of tin or
sheot iron, and about ten inches in diam
eter and twenty inches high, the cross
piece being also twenty inches long, but
stovepipe may be used over a small
lamp. In place of the crosspiece a tin
plate may rest on wire pegs, raised three
inches over the top of the pipe to allow
of free draft. By this arrangement the
heat is distributed in both directions
from the center of the poultry house. It
is only necessary to keepont frost; hence
40 or 50 degs. above zero is warmth
enongh, and the house will also be kepi
dry. There will be no injury from foul
air or carbonic acid gas, as plenty of air
will always find its way in. This should
he used only on cold nights.

The laws of health are taught in th<
schools, but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustra
ted by living examples, which Id many
cases might easily be done. If some
scholar who has just contracted a cold
was brought before the school so that
all could near the dry, loud cough and
know its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery dis
charge from the nose, not one of them
would ever forget what the first symp
toms of a cold were. The soholar should
then be given Cbsmberlsiu’s Cough

even a severe cold could be cured in one
or two days, or at least greatly mitiga
ted, when properly treand as soon as
the first symptoms appear. This rem
