his wife, who with a two weeks old
child, was in bed. Wash was not

the amateur theatrical company, have
already begun the preparation of
another program and will again ap

WE WILL TELL YOU THIS AS IT WAS TOLD TO US:
One of Athens’ best women caught the ad writer during an idle moment and said to him: Why
don’t you say more about the high standard of your goods? Every one considers Michael’s a first-class
store. I don’t jump at conclusions. I weigh matters carefully before expressing an opinion and, there
fore, I can say, ‘it pays to trade at a first-class store.’ You not only get newer goods and cleaner goods,
but you get better goods, and what is most surprising, I find them priced lower than at the so-called
cheap stores. If I was the ad writer for Michael’s I would lay particular stress upon that fact. There
are a great many people who foolishly believe that because you keep the finest of goods, your store is a
‘high price’ store. Whether bleaching or silks, whether hosiery or lace, whether coat suit, dress or hat,
whether calico or linen, you can buy it at a less price at Michael’s than the same quality can be bought
elsewhere.’” Of course we were made happy upon hearing this and we surely feel under obligations
to the good woman for taking the time and the trouble to give us her opinion of our store. She gave
the reason why we don’t “blow our horn” more than we do. She said, “every one considers Michael’s
a first-class store.” Since every one knows this, there seems to be no necessity to repeat it. A fact
worth considering is, to be rated a first-class store, goods must be right and prices must be right. We
know the goods are right, and since we only ask a legitimate profit on our goods, we have every right
to believe that the prices are right. If you know good things about us, please tell us—worth more to
us than “flowers to the weepers.” If you know bad things about us, tell us also. We are not too old
to learn to do better; not too foolish to believe that we never make mistakes. Just tell us, good or bad,
we’ll thank you.—Michael’s.

FEBRUARY FIRST
Time Fixed by State Tax
Commission is Earlier
Than Ever Set
Before.
Atlanta, March 11.—In the eelection
of February 1, at the date for the re-
ttyn of all ttate taxes. the ttate tax
commission bat tet a new precedent.
It hat been a good many yeara
■ince the date for tax return* waa fix
ed at early at that. For the last five
or tlx years It haa been March 30, the
a* possible any unusual loss to the
latest date allowed to be fixed by
law, on the theory that If the commis
sion waited until the last moment to
fix the date, and then fixed the last
possible day, there would be leas
transference of personal property
across the borders of the state to
avoid taxes.
This so-called transference, how-
ever, has been only a theory, because,
so far aa can he seen, it haa nerer
made any difference In the returns,
no matter bow accretive waa the tax
commission In fixing Us date.
The meaning of the commission’!
action la that every person who own
ed a piece of property on February 1,
cf this year, will he liable for taxes
upon It. Thia date, aa usual waa fix
ed long before It waa announced with
the tame end In view, 4o avoid at far
slate from the transferrence of per
sonal property out of the juriadiction.
Those who counted Joe Terrell out
of the senatorial race in Georgia were
reckoning too lightly of the grit and
determination of the Georgia senator.
He is steadily recovering and when
the'legislature meets be will be dis
tinctly in the running and bis oppo
nents will have to measure strength
with him from atart to finish.
Let's put into effect in Athena some
of the lessons learned from the
Southern Commercial Congress. To
do this effectively them must be a
livelier interest in the Athena Cham
ber of Commerce. The business men
who nre not members of that organ
isation should Join at once.
CHILD INJURED
(From Sunday’s Banner.)
Prof. D. L. Earnest, of the Stale
Normal School, and hit six-year-old
son, Lewis, received painful Injuries
yesterday evening in an accidental
collision between the wheel they were
riding and the automobile of Mr. Guy
Barnett. •
The accident occurred on Prince
avenue near the Christian church.
The driver of the machine and Prof.
Ernest in attempting to pus each
other both turned the same way-
dodging hack and forth two or three
limes. The machine ran agalnit the
bicycle. The child, who waa riding
on the bandlebarsabead of hla father.
was hurled ten or twelve feet and fell
on his head and shoulders on the
hard brick pavement. The little fel
low waa picked up unconscious by
Mr. W. A. Mallory and It was some
time before he regained conscious
ness. Mr. Barnett, as his machine
and the wheel came together, pushed
Prof. Ernest out of the way of the
car and probably prevented the auto
from crushing him. Quite an ugly
gash was cut in the scalp of Mr.
Ernest and a number of stitches by
the surgeon were required. Besides
being bruised considerably, the scalp
Injury was the only hurt Prof. Ernest
received. The child was carried Into
the home of Mr. Clarence Wier and
Dr. Fulltlove wu summoned. At first
the little fellow's Injuries teemed to
be of a very serious nature, but later
It was found that no bones wero
broken. The left shoulder was dislo
cated and the fearful lick on the head
caused much pain to the little auf-
ferer. At midnight the child was
resting well and ft Is hoped that no
serious effects will result from;the
accident.
The leading members on the demo
cratic side of the new house ore about
os,busy men just now at ore to be
found In the country. They certainly
have a giant task on their bands In
mapping out the plant for the extra
session of Congress that will be call
ed to order April 4th.
It it up to the democratic party now
to make good. The opportunity bat
been presented and It remains to be
teen whether the democrats will have
tense enough lo seise It
