Messrs. o. A. Coleman and C. H.
E. Griffith are two of the best tennis
players in the city, and they are
much interested in the game, being
among those making a request to
the Hotel Windsor people to allow ths
club the use of the vacant space back
Of the hotel. This space can be
cleared off and two or three or four
courts laid off at little expense.
which will not only give the players
an excellent place for their games
but will afford an amusement loving
public an excellent opportunity to
witness the contests. J. B. Fitzper-
aid, K. L. Maynard, J. R. L. Smith,
Doc HiXon, " l. Wbeat'ey and All
harper all played at Athens on one

the university. Ice Cain Hugh
Brown, Joe Hightower, Clarence
Niles, Marion Harper, Lester Wind

others are good players, and there
should be no trouble in organizing a
club. There are several first-rate
players among the ladies.
The scctc. 'Earr ape mentioned m

The first cotton blooms of the sea-

on his place about eighteen miles

plantation in the South than Can't.
Clay's, and his cotton is ahead of
anything in this district. He has 800
acres of knee-high cotton, and his
crop will undoubtedly be the prettiest
IN this part of the country.

NANCY and Nick We're doing an

A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

In my Fathers house are many
mansions; if it were not so, | would
have told you.--John l4:2.
Fer Immortality is not to range
Unlimited through vast Olympian
days,
Or sit in dull dominion over time;
But this-to drink Fate's utmost at
a draught,
Nor feel the wine grow stale upon
the lips;
To scale the summit of some soaring
mount,
Nor know the dullness of the long
descent;
To snatch the crown of life and seal
it up,
Secure forever in the vaults of death.

TEN GOOD REASONS FOR STATE
HIGHWAY BONDS.

I They will link all the counties
CT Georgia with good perma-
nent roads in ten years, not by piece
meal.
2. They viii be paid for entirely
by those who use them-the automo-
bilists, through income from gasoline
tax and auto license fees.
8. They will not raise the taxes
of the general public, because the
amendments especially provide that
bonds can be issued only as fast as
the above income viii take care Of
them.
a. The roads viii be built by the
State Highway Department, accord
into well defined plan providing
an interlocking system of county-to-
county highways, regardless of local
politics.
5. The roads viii be built and
maintained entirely by the state,
with government aid, leaving the
counties to devote their own road
funds to local roads.
6. The city man will pay a large
share of the cost, as official figures
show that about one-fourth of the
automobiles in Georgia are owned in
the cities. Although not dollar will
be spent for roads inside the cities,
he favors the bond issue, because
prosperity for Georgia means pros
perity for him.
Z. Each county will derive far
more benefit from the bond issue
than if its individual auto license fees
and gasoline tax were devoted to
roads inside its own boundaries. 1t
is only by statewide system that
federal aid can be secured.
8. BY passage of the proposed
amendments, those counties which
have built roads in the state system
will be reimbursed, giving each coun-
W Its fair proportion Of state and
federal funds.
9. The rural dweller will gain an
enormous benefit from all-the-year-
round roads leading to his county
seat and to other points, while he
will bear hardly any of the cost.
10. Unless the amendments are
passed this year, Georgia will lose
$2,70O,000 year of federal aid, as
no other general election will be held
until 1924. No federal aid money
IS available until a state system is
adopted.

Che Friendly Path

During 1920, due to the dropping and
passing OF dividends resultant from the
period of depression. indications point
to drop in the number having mil
lion-dollar incomes even below that
for 1914. And the end is not vet, for
corporate incomes. from which most
of the big individual incomes are de-
rived, have been shrinking so much
that many wealthy men find them
selves in quandary as to their ulti-
mate outcome.
It's a mistake to smile over others
misfortunes. Not one should find n
cause for rejoicing because quickly
made milliOnaires and wealthy persons
are made miserable through falling in
comes. But the information at hand
regarding the difficulties the rich are
encountering is reason for the aver
age class and the poor to consider theii
misfortunes less serious and to recog
nize that there is nothing in the rad
cal discussions of the rich getting rich
er and the poor poorer.

ANNA

1>HOUGH coming originally from
L the same source, Anna and Anne
are very different names. To call a
girl bearing the pretty appellative de-
rived from the Hebrew Chaanach,
Anna or Anne indiscriminately is
gross error. They are separate names
and should not be used inte.caangeably.
Anna was first known as the Roman
goddess of the circling year. She was
confused later with Anne, the COM
panion sister of Dido, whose tragic
end Is recorded by Virgil in the
"Aeneid' According to Roman tradi-
tion, Anne pursued The falthless
Aeneas to Italy. after the suicide of
Dido, and there drowned herself in
the river Numieius, where she became
a presiding deity.
The Irish have similar legend to
account for their Anna; the daughter
of the chief of the Firbolg race
drowned herself in the river Life, and
since the Irish word for river is Am
hahn. the two words became, on Eng
lish tongues, Anna Liffey, and were
supposed to form the unfortunate
lady's name.
There was also st. Anna IN By
zantium for whom the Emperor Jus
t:nian built church i'm $50. Thu
Anna became popular name amoni
Greek damsels, and daughter of En-
peror Basil married Vladimir, gram
prince of Muscovy. Another famou
bearer of the name was Anna iEst
of Italy, who brought her title to tn
house of Guise.

PROUD COAL CARS

"We're proud" said the pieces OF
coal in one of the coal cars. and then
all the coal said in it's dark. coal
fashion:
"We're all proud"
A little fairy had come a-1ying
along the countryside and had
perched herself upon one Of the coal
cars which was being pulled along.
together with many other coal cars
hy three engines.
Now the fairy was wearin~ a long
black cape and a black hood and when
people were in sight she hid her face
in her hood so that 1t could not he
seen. v
She was a very shy little fairy.
No one could notice her as 1t was
and she had come to talk to the pieces
Of coal.
She had seen SO many coal cars
travelling along all through the sum-
mer that she had wondered how the
coal liked journeys.
So the Fairy Queen had given the
magic wand which would make every
| thing talk and the fairy was now Oh
| the coal cars as I've said.
"Oh, yes. we're veW proud me
| pieces of coal said again.
"Now you know" they continued,
that this whole tran-all these coal
cars are part of freight train. We
are so many in numbers and we weigh
so much that it takes three engines,
as you see, to pull us.
"That makes us very proud. And
coal is important We know that, but
we like to have others see our i'm
pOrtance.
"We travel along through the coun-
try quite free of charge. Some one
may pay for our journeys-some un'
known, kind benefactor.
"a benefactor is some one who does
kind things like that or who gives
presents.
$50 it may be that a benefactor il
giving us our travelling expenses a'
his share in the honor to be shown thu

"We're not sure about that. but l
makes no difference.
"The main thing is we are travel
ing and we do not have to pay for
ourselves.
ut Is Just as well, Of course, TO
we haven't any money and we haven
any purses and we haven't an
pockets. But though we haven't an
money we are worth money and tina
is very fine.
Its just as though some one VIII
was very rich went a-walking withou
a pocket book. That person would b
e worth the money, hut wouldn't have
along with him or with her.
$50 it is with us.
l. "But we're particularly proud M
n only of the three engines and the fa'
that we make up almost a mile
trains and the fact that there are mar
