eATHENA ORE. SEPT. 49,. .l9

There is not a dwelling house for
rent in Athena. Every tenant house
is full and demands for houses are
made every day. This speaks we'll for
the town, and the fact that it is known
that Athena is to have an excellent
school this year makes the demand for
tenant houses all the more pressing.
There are few residence properties
here that with the expenditure of
little money could be made habitable,
and could be a source of revenue to the
owner. In their present condition they
are not fit 10 live in and consequently
remain vacant, when otherwise they
should be a source Of benefit to the
community in accommodating a num-
ber of families who are forced to fore
go residence here for want of suitable
homes. In their present condition
these houses are an eyesore and det-
riment to the town and the school
alike.
