State Deputy McGettrick, of
Vermont, has a fund of stories
about the days when the Green
Mountain state was a prohibition
stronghold. A few years ago
there was an old farmer, who
lived a few miles out of Benning¬
ton, who was perfectly well, so
far as his family could see, but
who insisted he should have a
doctor.
The doctor came aud examimd
the old man thoroughly. Then
he said: “There is nothing tie
matter with you physically thi.t
I can find, but as you are getting
old it might not be a bad idea
for you take a tonic of some kind
regularly. Suppose you drink a
little good whiskey each day.”
“Doctor.” the farmer replied,
“I couldn’t do that. I have a
son who lives with me, and I
wouldn’t have him see me taking
whiskey for auother farm as big
as mine.”
“Well,” said the doctor he
need not know it. Suppose you
take a drink when you shave
yourself each morning.”
The farmer agreed. A week
How About Your Girls
School Dresssas?
The school will open in about a month for the fall term.
The girls will need new dresses. Some will require a complete
ontfit and others, perhaps, just a few frocks to “make out with.”
How about your girl?
Why not get the school dresses now and have them made
before school opens, and before 'our stock has been picked
over?
We are showing the ideal materials (just received) for fall
dresses for every girl in Pelham and surrounding country.
We also have the shoes for your girls and
boys that will give entire satisfaction*

later the son came in hot haste
to the doctor’s office. “I want
you to cogie out and see father,”
he said. *
“Whar.’s the matter?” asked
the doctor. “Is he sick?”
“No. I don’t think he’ssick,”
the son replied, but he’s losing
hia mind. He shaves himself
half a dozen times a day.”
the Athens Busi*
ness College.
Institution is one year old. Us
enrollment for the year has reached
328. Its students are doing good
work and spend much money here.
It gives promise of greater suecess.
. The Athens Business College of
this city, just cloasing its first year’s
work, ha^i made a most remarkable
record, perhaps one not equaled by
any other business college' in
America. The school was opened
on the 24th of June last, with a mere
handful of students. Since its open¬
ing, it lias made 328 enrollments for
lull and complete courses of Book¬
keeping and Business Training or
Shorthand and Typewriting; new
students have come from eight dif¬
ferent states.
Notwithstanding the recent finan¬
cial stringency, every graduate going
out from this institution during the
past year has been placed in a good
position. The citizens of Athens
who subscribed for scholarships to
induce this school to locate in our
midst have done much for the good
of our city. At a very conservative j
estimate, the students of the Athens
Business College have, during its
first year in our city, distributed
throughout the various channels of
trade, more than $30,000.00. With
the continued loyal support of the
citizens of Athens and the hustle
and push of the management of the
school, they shoald bring into our
city more than $60,000 during the
coining year.
There is not a better business col¬
lege to be found in America today
than the Athens Business College, (
and from present indications, it will j
not be many years until we can
truthfully say there is not a larger
one. We advise our people to visit
this school and see the excellent
work it is doing. The principal of
the school, Mr. G. S. Gaston, informs
us that visitors are always welcome.
