Tin' lower court has held that the

from.
If the supreme court sustains the

A tremendous effort will be made to
induce the supreme court to reverse

over Georgia are watching the case
with intense interest, as upon its out

against “blind tigers" in Georgia may
depend.
As an evidence of their sincetity and
etermination, it may be stated that
Seaborn Wright, the great prohibition
■ader of Floyd county, will appear be
fore the supreme court to argue for a
“versal of the lower court, at the re
quest of the prohibition organizations
in the state.
Air. Wright maintains —as he did in

iv,• is enforced.
t'arl HutchiShn, of Atlanta, has with

ill prevent him from going, were he
elected.
The friends of John C. Reese, the
Atlanta correspondent of The Macon
T' leg.-aph. are urging him to get into
inc race, and he likely will do so.
If lie does, it will be pretty-much of a

1.000,000 EGGS THROWN
ON MARKET BY CLUB
WOMEN IN PRICE WAR
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—One million
storage eggs were offered for sale in 30
different stores in. Chicago today by
club women. The eggs were sold at 24
cents per dozen. The sale was an ef
fort of the Chicago Clean Food club, an
organization of society women, to bring
down price ot eggs.
Retailers assert the plan was fostered
by speculators. Speculators say the
sale will show up the retailers as rob
bers. Some retailers have been selling
eggs of the same grade as high as 45
cents per dozen. The women have Ig
nored the controversy, but have gone
ahead with the sale.
Paul Mandeville, an egg exporter,
handled the purchase of eggs for the
women.

The funeral of Mrs. Catherine A. Chick,
who died last night, will be held from the

$11.75 for Junior Suits That Were $25
No need to tell the mother of girls that the materials could not be
bought for $11.75. For these are good wool cheviots, serges and faintly
outlined plaids. The styles they have been made into are and
variously “fancy” suits —which means they are trimmed with braids, but
tons, folds and the like. Colors are navy, brown, taupe, wine and black.
Would not your daughter’s Christmas be the merrier for one of these?
Girls’ $6.00 Skirts at $3.75
Girls’ $7.50 Skirts at $4.75
Those now $3.75 are of a long-wearing navy serge—rather plain tailor
ed styles that girls like to wear with middy blouses.
Those at $4.75 include serges, broadcloths and velvets, very attract
ively fashioned—so much so that you will know at once that the cause of
the reduction is not in the style.

babyhood.
