MACON. Dec. 20. The vigilance of Chief of Police Riley, the Grand Jury and the Ltw Enforcement League promises Macon the “dryest" Christ- mns in the history of the city. At the express office and freight depots there are more than 200 ship ments of liquor, valued at more than $10,000. In many cases the consign ees have paid the charges and re quested the depot officials to hold the liquors until further notice. They are afraid to remove the consignments their places of business. At the City Hall, stored in the police barracks, there are 110 bar rels of wines, gin atid corn and ry ♦■* liquors, seised by chief Riley during his first days in office this week. The aggregate value of these seizures is more than $9,000. The Sheriff has in his custody at the Courthouse 140 barrels of various kinds of intoxicants, vhlch he has found during the last year at the nu merous saloons and blind tigers raid ed by him. An expert estimate of value of this stock is $15,000. Judge Mathews has ruled that per sons convicted of violating the prohi bition law are entitled to the restora tion of their whisky, and several have ; availed themselves of this right However, all unclaimed liquor will be burned In the city crematory next January, according to notice given hv j the officials to-day. It is expected that fully 1,000 quarts will be so de- . •troyed. Persons familiar with the situa- j tion declare that it is now more dif ficult to procure a drink of whisky in Macon than at any time Mince the j enactment of the prohibition law. L* *ts than half of the saloons which started business at the beginning of the year are now open, and only one club U* in operation, not counting the Klks. Eagles and Owls, which admit only lodge members. % Cents Feeds 40 +•+ They Were Women Whadyemenn? Higbcostoflivin ? Forty women dined on 96 cents! The function was held by the Grays Lake (Ill.) Wom en's Club, and this was the menu: Meat—Two pounds of beef (neck), 25 cents. Bread— Two loaves, 10 cents. Cake—20 cents. Coffee—Three-quarters of a pound at 25 cents per pound, 19 cents. Cream—10 cents. Celery—9 cents. Sugar 3 cents. Conversation being pro verbially very, very cheap, no estimate was placed on the amount consumed at the dinner to swell the total. An even dollar was spent, however, the 4c balance be ing used to buy paper nap kins, which, the women insist, were not eaten. 1 l WolfFungen to Sing At Sunday Concert Excellent Program Arranged tor Armory Recital—Shelton to Play Organ, IG GEM S RETURNED m HEIRS Augusta Council to Reorganize on Jan. 5 Six Old Members Retire rrom Office and New Officials Take Their Place* YALE GLEE GLUB i Monday, ( Council of!

Far more joy ful will be the Christmas of thin year than that of two years ago for Mrs. George Sterns, a prominent Griffin woman, and all because of two turns in a mystery that is still unsolved, but that has ended happily for her. Just before Christmas two years ago Mrs. Sterne* lost or had stolen from her a $200 diamond ring. She searched diligently, advertised and employed detectives, but not the least trace of the missing gem could be found. She gave it up as forever lost. Two years to ih© day after the ring disappeared Mrs. Sternes received a little packet through the mails. It bore no legible postmark, nor was there any address or other inscription It time. Upon opening toe packet she to indicate from whom or from where found to her surprise and joy that it contained her long-lost $200 diamond. Perhaps the Christmas spirit prompted the holder to return the ring to Its rightful owner. Anyway Mrs. Sternes is mighty glad to get it back. Mail Cranes in Use On Auto Rural Route AUGUSTA.
