The Superintendent of Saint

people from Athens and the sur
rounding area for the response
given to a plea for help in car

| The three children were ad

‘seven down to four. There are
two little girls and one boy.
. The medicine necessary for
the care of the children is very
* expensive. Dr. Goldsmith has
taken the case in hand and has

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Aug 6—
(AP)—Three explosions ripped a
food factory in nearby West Nanti

The triple blast was caused by
aceidental ignition of Pentane gas

As the 68-year old Mrs. Ander

many times before, took-off, some

Mrs. Anderson thinks, “It's

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER ACENTURY
Camak Home Is Acquired By Masons
BY T. W. REED
It is gratifying to note that the people of Athens have
at last begun to realize the propriety and the importance of
preserving the historic homes in the city. Already several
of these beautiful old historic homes have been neglected
or destroyed, but others are still standing that deserve
attention. -
The Masonic organizations in
Athens have taken the lead in
this respect and through their
interest and activity the old
Camak home on Meigs street is to
be preserved, renovated, remod
eled and made one f the beauty
spots in Athens in the years to
come, and in fact for all future
time.

of Knights Templar, Frank Har
