LIQUOR BUILT ROADS

Athens, Jan. 5.---tSpecial.) )-7The city dispensary. sold during the month of December ss,s8s9o and of this sum $2,- 945.50 was net profit.
 Less than two years ago the, city made a proposition to the people of the county that if they would vote si35.o0o bonds for the purpose of building bikes that the city would divide the profits of the dispensary equally with the county for the purpose of. paying the interest and creating fund with which to meet the debt when 1t fell due. The people voted the bonds and the County nearly completed about 100 miles of fine pike roads.
 Since the agreement the city has paid Into the County treasury $14,771.50 and at this rate, If the dispcnsary had not been wiped out, the county wonid have had its roads and a surplus at the end of the time. But now the dispen- sary is gone and the farmers will have the interest to pay.
 For some years Athens has had a fine source of revenue but now 1t will re- quire most of it's revenue to meet the absolute running expenses of the town with little; left for Improvements.

MUSIC
Nine. Mdrchesi's Recital.

At MendelssOhn Hall last night Nine
Blanche Marchesi gave a concert OF songs
ranging from Mozart to Liza Lehman. The
concert must have come as a surprise 10
the musical people OF New York. being all
but unannounced. and consequently there
was very small audience 20 hear her. A
pity a very great pity. Tor such lesson
IN the art OF singing as Nine Marchesi
gave Is 10 be- received only once in very,
very long time. A lesson In the art OF
singing IN its largest sense Those who
heard her on her earlier visits did not ex-
pect anything in the wsy OF sheer beauty

note how the perfection Of her style lent
beauty 70 her voice. After that il was
trutnfuiness Of Interpretation which took
hoid OF her auditors and held them SPELL
oound, so that even the wonderful art of
Nocaiization which she employed was over

marvellous. and was marvellous: but there
