An old gentleman of eighty-
two, who has never allowed a
razor to touch his face, claims
that he has saved almost two
years of his life and the equiv
olenfc of twenty four thousand
dollars by keeping out of the
barber's chair. But lie has not
got the twenty four thousand
dollars, the most of which he
could have saved by shaving
himself, and it would be interest
ing to know what use was made
of tlie two years of saved time.
-To Our Patrons -
WITH many grateful memories of your patronage during 1910,
and a sincere desire that we may continue to please you during
1911, we wisli you one and all a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

BLACKMAIL,"
The "bad boy" invents many a
carious prank for undoing of his
elders He usually gets the blame
and is appropriately punished.
But in some cases he ha3 been
the first sufferer, and the mis
chief really ought to be pardon
ed because of the indignities
that prompted it. The lad in the
Metropolitan Magazine doubtless
felt that he had a grievane too
heavy to be borne. ^ -
The first postoffice banks will
open for business Jan. 3. There
will be one in each State aS'firsV
and the number will be gradually
increased if they jprove popular
and desirable. The postal author
ities admit by inference that
they do not expect the American
people to go wild over an oppor
tunity to lend their money to
Uncle Sam at 2 per ceht per
annum.

A GROWING UNIVENSITY.
Statistics recently complied by
the University of Texas show
that there has been an increase
' /
of 23 per cent in the past two
- r
years, and an increase of 51 per
cent over the enrollment of four
years ago. This growth is proby
tbly unsurpassed by any other
State university in the land.
..Moreover, it should, be reinem-
|i)ered that several States inferior
in size and wealth to Texas have
larger and better aquipped uni-
versities. Texas can not afford to
be l&ckkig in educational oppor-
tunities to offer her youth. If the
people of Texas will rally to the
support of their schools, from
the public school to the jFnivers
ity, and put them on a basis
equal to that of other common,
wealths, Texas will some day
lead educa tonally as well - as
agriculturally.

There are people whose daily
life, year in^he year out, is one
of patient hfeioism. The son or
daughter who forgets long
cherished ambitiocs to stop at
home and care for the aged par-
ents; the patient, uncomplaining
wife whose life i£ full of sorrow
aud pain because of some drun-
ken, worthless husband, the
mother whose heart is breaking
by reason of the waywardness
of her boy; yet who bears tier
sorrow alone—those all are he-
roes even though their;actions
may not be recorded in the press
n« r their breasts decorated with
medals.—Ex. :
"I was taking lunch pvith a
friend of mine recently who has
a small boy about threo years
old." said a gentleman. "As a
very special favor, and to please
me, his mother allowed him to
the table, telling me that she
could not promise that lie would
behave in the proper manour. as
she bad never tried him before, j
"The boy behaved very well |
until the dessert came on the• sea as ever were caught."'
Many Atlanta Readers Have
Heard It -and Profiited
Thereby.

Postmaster General Hitchcock
Says Penny Postage is Pos-
sible Under His Plan.
Congress is confronted with
the necesity of deciding betweer
giving 92,000,000 people penny
postage or continue!ug the sub-
sidy now paid in postage to
magazines. Postmaster Gener-
i! Hitchcock put the issue up to
congress in his annual report,
which recommends that maga
zines pay for carrying the ad-
vertising matter which they in
elude in each issue at least as-
much as it costs the government
to deliver it. If this is done, he
says, penny postage would re-
sult.
No iucreass on the reading
matter in maga/.ineing is recom-
uended, bt cause such an in.
crease would imnose a burden
on education and religious peri
>dicals which derive little profit
from advertising.

A Dallas made machine will
take part in the aviation meeti ng
here in January. It is the Keller j afternoon for Smith to* Ark, af-
machine. C. H. Compere, who I £er spending several days at
has charge of it, said yesterday;
'-'It is the only dirigible of an el
liptical or cigar shape. It is 185
faet in length and 22 feet in di-
ameter. It carries 32,000 cubic
feet of gas and has a lifting ca-
pacity of 2,100 pounds. It com-
bines ten different patents. It
is 3updivided into three compart
ments. These partitions prevent
the gas from chugging danger-
ously from end to end, and in
case of deflation from puncture
they prevent it from collapsing
The bag is held rigid by a frame
work of cold drawn steel tubing,
constituting four lateral supports
cross-sectioned by ten circular
bands, which enable the bag to
go against a strong wind It is so
constructed that in case of punc
ture and deflation it muse needs
automatically form a parachute
of the exact dimensions of the
bag, Under the bag is suspend-
ed a boat in the shape of a battle
ship. 60 feet in length, 7 feet in
width and 4 feet in depth, for the
safety of the passengers in case
the machine falls on water."—
