Yes, our facets toward the east—the rising sun— the morning. Past achievements are but a pledge of greater things to be. Walt Whitman gives it to us on this wise: “Have the past struggles succeeded? What has succeeded? Yourself? Your nation? Na ture? “Now understand me well—it is provided >> in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle neces sary.” ' A trenchant truth, a brace, a stimulus 1 Simplified, boiled down, nutshelled, it means: "Let's not think for a moment that we can rest on our oars. Let’s wear the laurels we have won, but not be satisfied therewith. If we’ve succeeded, success brings its own obligation to push the battle farther, to storm heights hitherto untried, to scale walls that have loomed unattainable in the past.” Yea, verily. To have wrought well is but a pledge that we can do more worthily. To have attained is but an earnest of the greater things yet to be achieved. We are in debt to our past for its lessons, its victo ries, its triumphs. And the obligation is thafc\the fu ture shall be fraught with fuller and finer achieve ments. i And so it shall be. All thru the store these days there’s life and Stir, hilarious hope and bright enthusiasm. The merchandise is an inspiration in its manifold and wonderful forms. It is an education to know it— to trace its travels, its life-story, its commercial his tory. The weird art of the Changeless East in rugs and carpets is here, and the marvelous mysteries of Per sian color in tapestries and textiles. Japan sends em broideries and silks. Ireland from her dewy valleys sends her finest flax. Gay, delightsome France sends the work of her ever-competent hands in rich silken stuffs, lingerie, gloves, garments, hats, ornaments. Eng land sends her fine and sturdy cloths. Scotland sends her native plaids in well-wove ginghams, while -her characteristic doughtiness is revealed in her tough thick tweeds. Far-off forests send mahogany by way of American factories. Craftsmen’s shops send splendid furniture. California and Australia send wool for the blankets. Germany sends dolls and toys. Austria and Italy send objects of decorative art It’s an assemblage, an exhibition of what the whole wide world is doing today with its brain and hands, its foundries and factories, its skill and science. And to have you come here to inspect and to study will give us infinite pleasure. The atmosphere of The Store is cheerful—you’ll en joy it. We want you to enjoy it. It radiates the spirit of helpful service. There’s more in shop-keeping than just mere Give and Take—lots more. It is just as fine to keep shop philosophically and optimistically as it is, in its way, to write an epic. We are not in the business of epic-build ing, but we are in the business of selling goods—dry goods. That is our art, and our aim is to do it in the cheeriest, hopefulest, most helpful way we can. So now, while everything is bright and fresh and shining—while the fads and the fancies of the hour are disporting themselves in their most irresistible fashion for your delectation—come and take a leisurely stroll through, make an animated study of them, or have a regular shopping-spree—just as you like. Only be sure to come. Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. FOR IS TARGET 14 BULLETS She Helps Husband Fight Sheriff and Depu ties.

Ponce DeLeon Closes Its Doors and Oates, And Begins Winter Nap Pretty Poncy. as ths press agent de lights to call It, Ponds DeLeon, Atlan ta's popular amueement resort the summer gathering place of all Atlanta and the especial delight end never- ending Joy of the young folks, has closed for the season. Word wep passed around Sunday afternoon that It wee the laet day of the season;, that the park would clote at 11 o'clock In the evening, not to open again until May. 1*08. perhaps. The toboggan whirled merrily ell the day and as the time came for the doe In#, all the park hands took turns and shot around the great device that never grows old. that holds Its own from tea- •on to season, regardless of the chang ing fortunes of the times, the changing tastes of the public, and all the new riding devices that may be Installed In competition. The circle swing wblszed a farewell as feet as its motor would allow It and dropped gracefully to the ground like a bird In Its descending flight, as the lest strains of Matthleeeen'e band floated across the gracefully-eloping terraces of grass and mingled Its melodies with the soft perfumes of a hundred beds of nature's fairest flowers. The Human Roulette'* discontinu ance for the season hid In It an ele ment of the pathetic, a dozen ot more boys looking on with genuine sorrow as the novel riding device came to a stop, for the wheel has been a source of In expressible Joy to the young foljte. and particularly those of the male persua sion. At midnight all the lights went out. Monday morning a force of men began the work of boxing and fencing and covering all the amusements to protect them against the elements during the fell and winter months. The season has been one of great success. The crowd* have been uni formly large, and the park Iteelf has been Improved In a hundred different ways. Never before did Ponce DeLeon boast as many flower beds and a* pretty flower beds, never before euch music as that furnished every afternoon and every night by Jake Matthleeeen' splendid band, and the amusements themselves have about been doubted, both In number and In attractiveness. The Human Roulette Wheel. Dream land. the miniature railroad, tho Studio of Aerial Statuary, the Three Merry Widows, Maid of Mystery, the Onion end the Squeeze—th«se are eome of the new amusements. To Hugh Cardoza. general manager, belongs, of course, moet of the credit for the unprecedented success of Ponca DeLeon—a success doubly .deserving ot credit, when one considers that the K ark opened on the heels of a financial entesilon. In the conduct of tbe park he has been aided by a corps of splendid young assistants, among them Jack Youngs. Francis O'Keeffe. General Fisher and Hank Cassidy. 8ERIES OF LECTURE8 FOR BANK CLERKS AUGU8TA, Ga., 8epL 21.—Joseph P.
