Governor-elect Brown wan in Ath
ens for a few hours this week.
Summer is nearly here and you
had lietter watch out for the stom
ach germ.
The grand jury has done some
faithful, good and lasting work at
this session
The days of the banquet will soon
be over ami the luscious barbecue
will take its plac
bike all kings, the wheat king has
risen and will fall, but many of the
people will sulfur for his falling
We had better l»egin to look out
for the commission form of govern
ment for our city as soon as we can.
We rtqjeat, if you wink at the sale
of real beer by one person, you
should wink at it if they all sell it.
From the number of Fish that are
brought to the city every day you
would think Athens was a seaport
town.
The banquet to the Cotton Seed
Crushers was a splendid affair and
did much in the way of advertising
our city.
lx*t us get behind the hospital
movement and do something that is
worth while, while we yet encumber
the earth.
The new pensioners cannot get a
chance at the pension roll until the
legislature meets and makes up the
new blanks to be signed.
If you have a manufactured arti-
cle and fail to advertise it you had
his knowledge the need* of all the
people.
And now they are jumping on
Oklahoma because they lynched four
men over there the other day, and
talk aliout law and order, and all
that, hut you will never see lynch
ing abolished until the law is en
forced, and rapidly, too. The
squabblings and higher courts over
crimes of the most dastardly nature
incenses the people. Not only that,
there are being so many murderers
and the like pardoned out now that
it makes the people think that it
will l>e a hard matter to keep a man
in the pen for life even after he is
sentenced.
Over sixty cases of smallpox were
handled at the pest house this year,
and at a cost of something like two
thousand dollars to the city. This
is the largest number of cases that
have been handled in many, years
We cannot see the reason why this
is so, uuless the disease has been
neglected and not as much care ex
hibited to prevent the spread. We
mean by this that the disease has
Ixicome so light that people are not
as much afraid of it as formerly
People pay very little attention to
the yellow Hag now. This matter
should be looked after by the board
of health in a thorough way, and
the people who have it and go around
promiscuously and convey it to
other people should In* handled by
the authorities.
