Many Items of State in
terestas Chronicled by
Banner’s Atlanta
Correspondent.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 14.—C-li-i-c-ke n,
that spells chicken. And there are
worlds of them of all sorts and sizes
m Atlanta just now. The big poultry
show is on at the auditorium-armory.
All awards have be~n made but the
interest keeps up and large crowds
are attending dally. Plans are al
ready being made to make next year's
show even larger and finer than the
piesent.
Speaking of chickens Judge Broyles
yesterday rendered a very Interesting
decision after hearing a case growing
out of a quarrel between two neigh
bors over their chickens. It appears
that J. H. Jordan of 23 Bender street,
was arraigned on complaint of one of
his neighbors named White who tes
tified that Jordon had baited a trap
in his yard with corn and caught his
(White's) chickens and killed them.
Judge Broyles dismlsed the case
against Jordon with the following de
cision:
"If your neighbors chickens enter
your flower or vegetable garden and
you do not want them there, you have
a perfect right tq catch them, pull
off their heads and throw them into
the street."
Atlanta, Ga., Jap. 14.—The stock
holders of the Hlllyer Trust Company
have held their annual meeting at
which the secretary and treasurer
made reports. The treasurer showed

three months of business. A number
of capitalists over the state are inter
ested In the growth of the company.

officers: Henry Hillyer, president

ty-flve budded pecan trees has Just

campus of the Tech. The trees are
the gift of the Bacon Pecan Compa
ny, of DeWItt, Ga., and the boys were
delighted to add them to the trees
on the campus which are somewhat

Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 14.—The an
nual report of Mayor Mitchell, (who
was once a citizen of Athens,) has
been published and shows the city in
a most excellent condition. 'At the
first of the year, ^10, the floating
debt of the city was in round num
bers, $20,000. This was due to the
fact that the year previous a good
deal of brick paving was done. The
sum of the report of the mayor is as
follows: This paving was the best
public Improvement made in the city
since It has been In possession of a
charter. Owing to the rapidity of the
growth of the city In every depart
ment, Ir order that further advance
ment might be made an election au
thorizing the Issuance of ftOO0fO.OO
In bonds was arranged. This seemed
to please the city tax payers and
bonds received a handsome majority.
The bonds have been floated selling
at par and the money is on deposit at
the First National Bank. It is sub
ject to the call of the bond commis
sion, and the city Is In position to put
in new water works plant, extend the
sewer system, build a new school
building In the third ward, and carry
on street improvements. The mayor
is of the opinion that the city should
do more street paving. At least one
street should be paved this year, and
that other street Improvement be
done, material not so expensive being
used. There has been a city tax rate
of but ninety cents on the one hun
dred dollars. The mayor speaks of
the excellent condition of the public
schools of the city, the fire depart
ment, the police department.
The annual report of finances shows
total receipts of $77,881.09, and aa
equal amount of disbursements.
The supplementary report, showing
the incltal account, $5,571.98. Chair
man H. N. Merck, chairman of fi
nance, (who Is a former Athenian.)
recommends that the streets this year
be well worked from the outskirts te
the square, and that suburban citl
sens should be looked after and given
good sidewalks. He also recom
mends that Main street be paved
from the city hall to the southern de
pot. After this Is done, take up each
