change the terms of county officers
from two to four years; to increase the

Tom Swint, the “mullet king,” says
his fish sales are growing heavier each
week—due, he supposes, to the high
price of meats of every description.

a pound of ham at 30 cents, would be
scarcely a mouthful for the average
family, while a fine, fat mullet at the
same price will furnish a satisfying
meal for several persons,” he says.
“And besides, fish is said to be an ex
cellent brain food, and lots of folks
need this sort of nourishment.”
