GREAT MBEtlNG OF THE
LADIES’ GARDEN CLUB.
Wednesday, May 2, is the regular
meeting day for the Ladies’ Garden
club. This club has been established
in Athens for twenty years and more,
and its regular meeting days are tha
first and third Wednesdays in each
month. . The club's activities are so*
cial and civic in their nature. Many
beautiful and' elaborate exhibitions
have been made from time to time,
and many delightful entertainments
given upon notable occasions. This
good year-of 1017 the Garden club
has turnecf it attention to helping
carry the slogan, “Plant a garden,
eat of the fruits thereof, and can the
surplus.”
Some wonderfully enlightening
talks on gardening and helpful advice
have been given by the practical peo
ple who have talked to the Garden
club this year.
One Garden club member has green
tomatoes on large and healthy bushes
because she followed implicitly the ad
vice given ‘her-by. the- lecturer at the
lost February-meeting, Mr. J. F. Tib
betts, .president of the Chamber of
Commerce.
I know of several flourishing Irish
potato beds made, according to in
structions given by Mrs. Hamilton
McWhorter, who lectured at the
meeting immediately following the
great freeze.
Other Garden club members are
cherishing the information about rasp
berry cultiire, given the club by Miss
Lucy Bishop, a successful grower of
raspberries.
Some utterly unruly and unproduc
tive soil has been reclaimed fo certain
garden club members, who heeded the
advice of Professor Jack Hart. Miss
Oliver and Mr. M. C. Gay has helped
wonderfully in their discussions of
ways and means, and so on. The la
dies’ garden club is a clearing house
for the best and most successful in
formation about gardening.
The program for Wednesday, May
2, is in charge of Mrs. E. M. Cole
man, who has secured Miss Oliver to
give an intensely interesting talk on
“Canning Vegetables.” Miss Oliver
also demonstrate homemade ice
less refrigerators, fireless cookers and
fly traps.
garden club members will surely
misa something, well worth while if
they are absent from this meeting. It
is urgently requested that the mem
bers be on hand promptly as a short
businesameeting must be held before
the program is taken up. The busi
ness before the Garden club Wednes
day is very important and will require
the earnest attention of all the mem
bers. Please let no excuse keep you
away.

is sufficient to rid one’s feet of every

You simply apply a few drops of

MANY STORES WILL CLOSE
AT 6 010CK DURING
SUMMER MONTHS
The petition started in the city for
the merchants to agree that they
would close their places of business
on week day afternoons at 6 o’clock
has been in circulation for the past
two weeks and there have been a
large number of the larger mer
chants to sign, but there are some
of the smaller merchants who have
refused to sign the petition and who
state that they remain open now as
they have in the past.
It is expected that some of these
smaller merchants will sign the peti
tion during the present week and in-
Athens will close their doors at 6
o’clock beginning tomorrow after
noon. The matter was taken up by
the Chamber of Commerce some
time ago and the merchants seemed
willing to do their part toward giving
their clerks a chance to plant gar
dens and care for them during the
summer months.
« The agreement reads that the
stores close each afternoon at 6
o’clock, except Saturday, from May 1
to September 15. This will give
every employe of the stores a good
chance to raise some vegetables on
their lots and carry out just what the
business men and merchants of Ath
ens are urging the farmers to do,
that of raising foodstuffs for the
[fall and winter.

DRUNK FRACTURED
SKULL SUNDAY ON
SOUTHERN TRACKS
Saturday night at a late hour a
negro named Dink Geeter had been
visiting some of his colored friends
and he left their house for his home.
He thought that it would be closer
for him to walk along the Southern
railroad tracks and it would have
been, had he not been full of moun
tain dew com.
Dink left the home of his friend in
an intoxicated condition and started
for his home. He had not gone more
than 100 yards when he fell from
the track down into the cut, about
twenty feet below. When he fell his
head struck on one of the cross ties.
He sustained a fracture of the skull
and was unconscious until 6 o’clock
Sunday morning when Mr. -Bailey, of
the city waterworks, was leaving his
work for home.
Mr. Bailey, seeing the negro lying
at the bottom of the cut, went down
and looked at him and saw that he
was in pretty bad shape. He called
in Doctors Swafford, C. N. Sisk and
S. S. Smith. Geeter struck on his
head and crushed his skull between
his eyes.
TV reports from his bedside yes
terday afternoon were that he had
been sitting up eating and it was
stated today ttot he was getting
along better tHan could have been
expected.
