Wash was not drunk, but on the trial of the case before Mayor Mitchell, the city pby siclan gave it as his opinion that Wash was suffering with a "brain storm." The mayor Imposed a fine of ten dollars. Miss Susie Wallace, who is the pri vate secretary of Congressman Bell la in a sanitarium in Washington City, with typhoid fever.

The boys and young ladles who constitute the amateur theatrical company, have already begun the preparation of another program and will again ap pear at an early date.

The attention of those passing the city hall one day this week was at tracted by the odor of whiskey in the air. The chief cf police had emptied in the gutter, directly In front of the city hall, eighty one-pint bottles of rye whiskey and two two-gallon bot tles of the same fluid. The amount of liquors had been taken from a lo cal blind tiger, convicted before the mayor, and had been conflscated by the city and ordered destroyed by Mayor Mitchell.

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.
