GARDNER Editor and Proprietor Entered at the Post-Office at Athens, Ga., as second-class matter Published every Friday at the office of The Courier Broad Street, Athens, Georgia 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.

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.
