Used in Millions of Homes—40 Years the Standard* ENTERPRISE AND GRIT- AS COES THE LAND COMPANY, SO COES THE CITY. A GREAT DEVELOPER. Waste Property Made Beautiful— Lovely Homes Springing up-Streets and Avenues Graded and the 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.

MORRIS Hna Accoutpliahrd With These <!»■«.- liatl Elements lo Success What Seme Men Hare Labored a Lifetime to Complete, and Still he Bounds Oi 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- DEVICE FOR LIFTING A WAGON BOX. ed they will never need tightening again. The rims of wheels should be painted from one to four times a year, according to usage.

The lever to wind up with has a bent wire in one end, which is slipped around the rope, when wound np, to hold it in position. The rollers are held in place by leather saddles tacked upon under side of box. There is a lever for each roller, but only one is shown in the cut. Men ann Manners.

They may be neglected, however, for want of knowledge, and in such a case the offender is to be ex cused, though he may be laughed at. 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.

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.

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, In 4 neckwear, linen, gloves and furnishing specialties and novelties the leading stocks of manufacturers all over the country have been picked and culled and the cream brought to Athens.. Smoking jackets, overcoats etc. 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 of dressing in the height of fashion at ths small cost, within the easy reach of ail* <1 My baby, vrbea two months old, had a hreakli out wUh what the doctor sailed eczema.

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. G RAIM D 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 Remedy freely, that all might see that 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 edy is famous for its cures of coughs, colds and croup. It is made especially for these diseases and is the most prompt and most reliable medicine known- for the purpose. 25 and 60 cent bottles for sale by John Crawford & Co.
