VERY FLATTERING,
All previous records will be
broken. The Athens Business Col
lege of Athens, (ia., now has the
largest summer attendance in its
history, and from present indica
tions, the fall attendance will far
surpass that of any previous year.
Some ask why we have such a large
annual enrollment. The answer is
simple. In the first place we have
the exclusive control of the famous
Byrne Simplified Shorthand and
Practical Bookkeeping. These sys
tems alone entitle us to a patronage
far beyond that of any other com
mercial school. With these systems
we can turn out a better bookkeep
er or stenographer in half the time
and at half the cost of other schools
teaching other systems. 'Phis is a
great saving of time and expense to
any student. In the second place,
this institution is managed by suc
cessful business men. Who know
how to put systems and modern
business methods into their work.
We employ the best teaching talent
to be bad, and leave nothing undone
that will enable us to turn out first
class bookkeepers and stenograph
ers. We have won a reputation for
placing our graduates with respon
sible firms, at good salaries, with
good promotion ahead. We long
ago learned that the success of our
institution depended up >n the sue
ecs- of pur graduats, so it is our first
aim to see that the student is thor
oughly qualified. Our st cond aim.t >
sei that he lias the very best position
that we can obtain for him, bis ex

SUN PRANKS.
Irregularities For Which Science Can
not Altogether Account.
The sun is generally looked upon as
a model of regularity which never
fails in ils duty, lait the ancient his
torians mention several instances
when it failed to give forth its usual
amount of heat and light for periods
varying from three hour, to several
months. Data on the subject have
been compiled [>3- the St. I.ouis Uepub
lie.
According to Plutarch, the year 4 4
B. C. was one in which the sun was
“weal: and pale" for a period approxi \
mating eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sunlight j
in (he year OU4 A. D., and. according i
to Humboldt, this uncanny period end
ed with “strange and startling sky phe
nomena, such as loud atmospheric ex
plosions, rifts in the vaulted canopy
of blue above and in divers other rare
and unaccountable freaks.”
In (he year 1001, on Sept. 20 (see
Humboldt’s “Cosmos”), the sun turned
suddenly black and remained so for
three hours and did not regain its nor
tnal condition for several days.
According to the noted Eelmutli’s
“Solar Energy,” the days of seeming
Inactivity on the part of the sun (the
days following the sudden blackening
of the great orb> were noted for a
peculiar greenish tinge and are mark
ed in old Spanish. French and Italian
records as “the days of the green sun."
February, 110; A. D.. is noted in the
annals of marvelous phenomena as a
month in which there were several
days that “the sun appeared dead and
black, like a great circular cinder float
ing in the sky.”
“On the last day of February. 1200.”
says an old Spanish writer on astron
only, astrology and kindred subjects,
“the sun appeared suddenly to go out
causing a darkness over the country
for about six hours” in 1211 the Eu
ropean countries experienced another
siege of supernatural darkness, which
the superstitious writers of that time
attributed to (iod's displeasure over
the result of the great battle of l.ieg
nit 7„
Even today there are certain irregu
larities of the sun that science cannot
altogether account for. Those are the
so called sun spots—enormous dark
splotches which appear from time to
time on the solar disk and which are
supposed to have great influence on
the atmospheric conditions of the
earth. Scientists have long studied
these phenomena, but neither their ex
tent nor periodicity has ever been de
termined. *

sell. There is no question but that we sell more Ve
hicles than any concern in Northeast Georgia, and
we are among the largest Piano and Organ dealers
in the entire state. We have a heavy stock of
everything on hand now and we will sell you if you
will give us a chance. We appreciate your business
and expect, to have and to hold it if reasonable prices
and fair treatment will give it to us. We have sold
twice as much stuff as we expected to sell, but we
never let up, we expect to grow as we go along.
It is now time to visit your friends and you
should have a nice Buggy or Surrey to go in.

Very truly yours,
