Christmas Shoppers Who
Don’t Spend All Their Money
"They Have Charge Accounts”
T HERE are three kinds of shoppers at Xmas time. Some
spend all their cash—others buy LESS than they want
because they don’t care to spend all their money—and others
purchase what they want and still have cash on hand, be
cause they have a CHARGE ACCOUNT.
Do you belong to the latter class? If not, you should and
CAN. And we’ll show you the way. LISTEN!
THE FAIR hns been making a - close study of HU
MAN NATURE—and from
our actual business dealings
we have become thoroughly
convinced that most people
are HONEST. And that’s
why YOU can have goods
CHARGED at THE FAIR
We trust all nice people,
whether they are rich or
not.
If you need any wearing
apparel—be sure to come to
THE FAIR. Here you’ll find

RECORDSTHIS YEAR
More Than $500,000 Pours in
on Uncle Andy in the Shape
of Coin and Checks.
AGAINST CHAUFFEURS
Grand Jury Indigts and State
Will Prosecute Drivers Who
Killed Pedestrians.
Andy Stewart, tax collector of Fulton
county, looked like King Midas Wed
nesday morning. Checks for nn aggre
gate of about $300,000 fluttered In on
him when the early morning mall came.
Every other mall brought checks, big
and little.
The-time limit for paying state and
county taxes expired at 6 o’clock Tues
day afternoon, and when the clock toll
ed that hour Uncle Andy had collected
$600,000 of the coin of the realm duo
the sovereign state of Georgia and the
county of Fulton.
Monday and Tuesday, 2,800 peoplo
had congested his ofllce nnd paid up
their.taxes, a record-breaking event in
Fulton county.
And they had paid In 25 per cent
more money than was ever collected
before In a Fulton county tax collect
ors olfloo up to that hour, when com.
pared to former years.
Then cams the check flood Wednes-,
day morning and this will continue
until tho end of the week.
The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company Is the biggest taxpayer, com-
across with 857,000. The Coca-Cola
Company pays about $14,000. The
county's total collections from big cor
porations Is about $105,000. The larg
est estate paying Is the Grant family.
The Inmans pay a large revenue, too.
The big folks who send checks over
looked one essential thing—that they
must come In person to register. For
the law requires that a man who wants
to vote must call personally and sign
the oath.
About 8,000 voters have registered
for the 1912 elections, when everybody
from bailiff to president Is to be voted
for. The date for Anal registration Is
April 3. 1912,
Uncle Andy Is going to he Banta
Claus, too. Tho penalty of $1.50 costs
for the unpaid will be extended and
will not apply until next Monday. This
means that those who have not paid
can have Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday to psy up and get by without
the penalty.
As fast as the tsx collector gets the
money he turns It over to the state
and county treasurers.
Many persons find themselves affect
ed'with a persistent cough after an at
tack of Influenza. Aa this cough can
be promptly cured by tho use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, It should not
be allowed to run on until It becomes
troublesome. Bold by all drugglsti.

This, too. Is something NEW. It Is a
DAVENPORT and a REAL bed com
bined. It's called the PREBT-O-BED.
In less time than It takes to tell, you
can convert the DAVEN
PORT Into a REAL bed
with a REAL mattress.
You don't sleep on the up

the old-fashioned Daven
port—but you have a big,
roomy, eoft bed.
As a DAVENPORT, the
FREST-O-BED Is very
convenient and ornament

It Is luxuriously restful.
