Athens is hustling little city. Not a long while back started to Nashville, and tiredgout was sleeping when the train reached Athens. The noise and the lights
 woke me up and the white way fooled me. so half awake I began to gather up
 my luggage to get out thinking I had reached Nashville. I do not blame Ath-
 ems for being proud of her new depot and car sheds. sA
 Here we found Mayor Hines and a
 wide-awake lot of men. Athens has all
 ways been thrifty place. Many years she has corn to sell It leaked out that
 wade Wood. who was with us, had one season bought 4O,OOo bushels of corn in Athens through a local dealer. Birming- ham can buy all the corn made in the

 I was greatly impressed with the poten- tial power of Decatur and Albany. It's not for an outsider to tell any com munity or communities what they ought to do.

Decatur, but to do it just now would Be to start lthem off in row. so let's be patient ] and give them a chance and maybe they
 will get tired of making faces at one
