ATHENS DISPENSARY.
Profits for the Year just Ended
over $4,000.


Athens, Ga, Jan. 6.-The Athens
dispensary for the year 1902, cleared
$500 and for the year that has just
closed, the profits were over $4,000,
showing an increase in profits of more
than $4,000, for the past year. The
first year the dispensary was in oper-
alton, eleven years ago, the profits
were a shade above $4,000.
During the past three years the
profits at the dispensary have been
advancing steadily, and this year it
is thought they will pass the $4,000
mark. These profits are divided be-
tween the city of Athens, and the
county of Clarke. The city gets four
fifths, and the county one-fifth. In
this way the city gets over 100000
per annum, and the county over $4,000.
The city can use its share for any
purpose of government, but under the
law the county's share of the profits
can be used only for the support of
the rural schools. BY virtue of the
law in this respect the county of
Clarke has been enabled to run the
schools for the full term of nine
EloFSths in each year, and to pay
the teachers better salaries than in
the past.
The term of Chairman Reaves of
the Dispensary Commission having ex-
pired, the commission has elected
Commissioner William Dootson as
chairman Of that body. All the en-
ployes of the dlspensary have been
reelected for the present year.
