For tin* past, five years George
Glenn, formerly of Jefferson, lias
been mourned as dead by his tnnuv
friends and his sister, Mrs. \Y. J
Davenport, of the Glade, but last

Williams and his family had gone to
Savannah that morning and no one
was at home. r l he tiro was undoubt¬

Mr. Williams.

The Courier-Journal thinks that,
if the prohibition authorities of At

some early milkman will be filling
his cans with beer and making bis

but the parties who have the best
chance to run portable blind tigers
there are the venders of Salt Springs

A Jrdge Lives on Ten Cents a Day.
From the New York Tribune.
Judge McCue, of California, now
in Washington, told a friend a few
days ago that lie had solved the food
problem, and that he could live in
Washington on ten ei nts a day. Ask¬
ed for an explanation he said: “I
usually turn out at about 11 o’clock
and take breakfast. I go to the dai¬
ry around the corner and buy a enp
of coffee for five cents and and with
the other Hue cents I get five Mary,
land biscuits.”
“Well, that exhausts vour ten
cents, Judge; how do you get your
other meals?”
“I am coming to that present], my
friend. Don’t be impatient and you
shall have the whole story. My
breakfast is eaten slowly and well
digested. It generally lasts me until
about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. At
that time the gnawing of hunger be¬
gins to assert itself. This is where
my discovery comes in. 1 always go
provided with several pieces of alum
When I begin to get hungry I place
one of these hits of alum in iny
mouth and allow it to slowly dissolve
The effect is that it contracts tin*
throat and the stomach, and the sen¬
sation of hunger disappears. I repeat
this dose until bedtime, and I fall
asleep like a child. Gentlemen, let
me tell you that eating is nothing
but a habit after all.”
