This is the compliment that one

of the real method behind our bus

Primarily this business makes the
prescription department the main
object of its care. Experts check
every prescription and, our large
files show that our care Is not in
vain. Every new and worthy drug Is
Immediately bought and placed on
our shelves so that we need never
say 1--WE are just out OF It, but
we say, eve have it now"

the work that Weston and Athena are
now bending every effort to raise
funds. The farmers also will furnish
ieac,s and help, and the business men
and property holders owners of the
two towns will contribute funds
B. B. Richards, who has the Ath-
ena end of the matter in charge, says
there is no doubt but that Athena
will do her share toward maoadamiz-
ing the Athena Weston road.
Portions of this road during certain
seasons of the year, are the worst in
this part of the county. For several
weeks past it was impossible and
teams were forced to take the lower
road and until few days ago all
travel between Athena aud Weston
was over the north road.

It has been rumored that Attorney
General Hudson would resign. 1t is
now stated that he will probably re-
tain his commission until his term ex.
pires. This is the correct course for
him to pursue. That he desires the
place is attested by the fact that he
was a candidate for reelection end
the small margin by which he was
defeated can not be construed to
mean any general dissatisfaction with
his administrator as such, but merely
a preference for another mar as his
successor. Ii any officer, other thar
