More Complimentary
Words For American
State Bank.

We deeply appreciate the many
nice things said about our first
wears record when the bank show
ed nearly $4,000 on deposit and
declared an s per cent dividend on
it's stock.
All the officers and directors
were reelected for the coming year,
showing the confidence in which
they were held by the stock
holders. There were no reslg-
nations, which means that all the
officers and directors were satisfied
with their conn ection with the
bank.
But we have just heard from our
corresponding bank in New York
City; the bank that stands behind
us with their millions Of money to
furnish us with what we need to re-
lend to the good people Of Ben Hill
County. This is what they say at
ter their first years connection
with us:
''The statement you sent re-
sarding the progress your bank
has made is a very flattering one
and your management must feel
very much gratified at the re-
markabIe success you have met
with so far, and you have our
best wishes for continued pros
perity. We have every expect
ancy of being able to comply
with your wishes this coming
year"
We honestly solicit the business
of every reputable citizen and
especially the FARMERS, for we
are here to do you all good as far
as our means will allow. We loan
ed over 100000, the past year and
will be in a position to lend more
than this in 1912 on good, secured
paper-the only kind we accept.
Thanking each and every one OF
our patrons for their assistance to
us and soliciting the business OF
all others who desire to connect
themselves with a bank who appre-
ciates them thoroughly, we beg
to remain. Very truly yours,
American State Bank.

Divers Dives

Atlanta, Jan. 11--Some months ago
it will be recalled the big heads
of the Atlanta police department
GOT themselves tied into several
bow-knots trying to define the word
"priSsy." They had it meaning the
exact opposite of what it really
means
And they are tangled up on the
meaning of another word, which
it would seem they ought to under
stand much better, What is a
dive?" That's the question puzzl-
ing them.
The new city code is just out, and
not fails to define what a dive is
but contains the involved and COM
plicated sentences when it sets out
to tell what penalty should be placed
upon a person for operating a
dive"
One phrase explains it as place
where men and women congregate
to drink" but the chief hardly
thinks he would be justified in
pulling down every such place as a
dive 1t occurs to him tnat I'M
der that definition every honest
citizens own supper table would be
a dive, under the terms of the law
for it doesn't say what the drink
shall consist of.

Shopping Adventures
OF the Wise Family
No. 4 Miss Elinor Wise, Who is Pleased
With the Pretty Spring Goods in
the Stores
BY Miss Elizabeth W. Guruey.

Miss Elinor Wise, who is twenty, a
blonde, ard pretty as a picture, came
home enthusiastic from a shopping
excursion to the local stores yester-
day. She says the new spring goods
are coming in and are beautiful in
appearance and reasonable in price
Elinor stopped in at the Boston
Cloak Store and was delighted with
the bargains she found in petticoats.
She got a couple of black sateen ones
for street wear, and then INDUCED in
a pretty gray silk one with pink
roses scattered over it, in a Persian
color effect.
At Kennard's store she found some
remarkably beautiful deep gold lace,
a rather fine mesh with lowered bord-
er, and flower ornament consisting
Of a golden rose. with a bud and leaves
also of gold. Elinor meditated on how
an evening gown with these luxurious
trimming would bring out all the
golden tints in her hair, and of course
she had to have them.
At Jacoby's the young womansfound
herself puzzled over which TO buy of
two fascinating spring garments, a
/ dark blue serge suit. with white on
/ the cuffs and reyers, or a white cloak
with a diagonal weave and striking
trimming OF heavy black moire silk on
cuffs and collars. so she settled mat
/ ters by buying both.
At Feil's jewelry store. a bracelet
and bar pin set caught her fancy sc
much that they we're added to her pur-
chases, The pin and bracelet were oi
heavy gold, with a strip set alternate
ly with aInethysts and brilliants, and
both had the same design It was a
long, substantial bar pin that would
subdue the most rebelliously bulky
necktie.
At Lippincott's, Elinor found some
dainty black hosiery in Isle thread
embroidered with dots and bowknots
and another kind that showed dots
and rosebuds. The embroidery came
in white, pale blue. or pink. With
several pairs of these the young lady
also tucked in a pair Of pale blue
silk stockings
The pretty ribbons at Crosby and
Hills were a delight to Elinor There
we're ribbons an inch or two wide in a
! checkered weave, with design Of viO-
lets or rosebuds in almost every color
| There were some beautiful wide Per-
sian ribbons, and wide ribbon in
oheckered black and white came with
a gay border of red or blue. Some un-
usually pretty ribbon flowers were
also found in this store in rather new
| patterns.
At the Topkls store, Miss Elinor in
vested in two patterns of striped cot
ton voiles, just come in as spring
stock, enough TO make her a couple
Of pretty light summer dresses. Both
had a white ground, but one was in
a blue stripe and the other in brown
with a conventional ornament dotted
over it She also got a light blue silk
for a dress.
At Fisher and Barnes, Elinor bought
a black silk umbrella with a carved
ivory handle She said a person al
ways felt so sort of distinguished with
a really nice umbrella

NEW YORK. Feb. 24--About an
equal balance has been maintained be-
tween taffeta and foulard in the early
spring styles. and both materials have
had their advocates who contended for
first place for their favorite fabric AS
the season advances and the milliners
are having their influence in shaping
the fashions, the possibilities of taffeta
are developing. Hats draped with taft
feta are exceedingly smart, and those
which are smoothly covered with the
softly lustrous silk are a useful bridge
from the felts and velvets Of winter to
summer straw and panama.
OF course the taffeta hat means the
taffeta gown. for with the prevailing
passion for all dress accessories en-
suite, no woman would strike the false
note sounded by hat OF the one and q
frock Of the other. For the late win
ter and very early spring taffeta dress
es are seen trimmed with bands OF fu
but for an advanced season the SAM
effect is obtained by means Of th'

If you are troubled with rats, try
the following: Put on a board or

with tho lye to moisten it; then pour
Just little more over the top. Rats
love molasses and will eat the lye un-
knowingly.
The best remedy for a bruise is
butter. Whenever one of the chill

apply butter. This relieves the pain,
prevents swelling and keeps the hurt
