garet P. Flahive, a stalwart widow
of 35, pointed a pistol at Police Chief

ened to kill him if he entered her
room, he struck her in the face with
his fist and knocked her down a
flight of steps.

a saloon, though she has neither a
city, State nor Federal license. She
has been repeatedly indicted and
once convicted.
Accompanied by two detectives.

found a stock of whisky. She ran
upstairs to a bedroom, the chief fol
lowing her. Her children took one
revolver from her. but she procured
another, and thrusting it into the
chief's face, said:
“If you enter this room I’ll kill
you.”
“Then- you’ve got me to kill,” said
the chief as he entered.
He struggled with Mrs. Flahive and
in the encounter struck her in the
face. Mrs. Flahive will be prose
cuted for pointing a pistol, as well
as for violating the city, blind tiger

SAVANNAH. Dec. 19. -Margaret
Naylor, 4, has originated an effective
method of raising money for charity.
She collected 5,000 cigarette coupons
and donated them to the society that
keeps up a fresh air home at Tybee.
They were turned into $25 cash.
The society was so pleased with
the venture it will put boxes in all
stores where cigarettes are sold In
an effort to collect thousands of the
coupons.
Practical, useful, everlasting Christmas
gifts for men and young men, at wonderful money-saving
prices our plans for reorganizing this business are complete an enormous
amout of CASH is needed. The entire stock must he converted quick.
Any person who is thinking of buying a
suit or an overcoat should think twice, then come to this
store and buy two suits or overcoats instead of one. Just a little figuring
will show you that you can own two garments now for the same price you
generally pay for one, and each of the two will be finer than the one. The
supremely best tailoring and most exclusive fabrics are employed in the ap
parel we are now throwing on the market at sensationally low prices.
