AN IDEAL BREAKFAST.

One of the most delicious breakfast
foods that has been placed on the mar
ket is Grape-Nuts, the pre-digested
food that is having such a wide sale.
Four teaspoonfuls of this novelty, with
a little cream, makes an ideal meal to
start the days duties on. There is as
much nourishment in one pound of
Grape-Nuts as in ten of meat.

DEATH OF ALBERT SPENCER.
DEPUTY COUNTY CLERK AND
NOMINEE FOR LEGISLATURE.
He Was a Most Exemplary Young
Man and Is Mourned By Many
Friends-Funeral Today.

Many people in this city and in this
county will be shocked to hear of the
death of Albert Spencer of Taylors-
vile, which took place at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning, Typhoid pneumo-
MIA was the immediate cause of Mr..
Spencer's death. He was taken i'll sew
eral weeks ago with typhoid fever, but
a fatal result was not anticipated un-
til a couple Of days before his death.
He was the picture of health and ro-
bust manly vigor. a young man of abil-
ity, integrity and honor In his own
community he was highly respected
and loved, and he was well and fav
orably known beyond the limits of his
own town. In this city and through
out the county and state, Albert Spen-
Ger had many admirers-numberless
friends. To all of these the tidings of
his death come like bolt of lightning
from the cloudless skies, filling their
hearts with grief.
Mr.. Spencer was more prominently
before the public at the time of his de-
mise than usual, in that he was one Of
the Democratic nominees for the
legislature, having been named at the
convention on Sept Is for the state
house of representatives. His nomina-
ton was generally conceded to have
been a strong one.

Newport News, Va, Oct. Amid the
enthusiastic plaudits Of nearly 10000
intently interested people, the shrill
salutation of steam whistles from many
boats and tugs, and the strains of
THE Star-spangled Banner" the first
class battleship Illinois slid into the
water today. The launch was bril-
liant success in every particular. The
sponsor of the vessel, Miss Daisy Lei
ter of Chicago, was accompanied by
Governor Tanner of Illinois and his
staff, in full uniform, and a crowd of
prominent Chicagoans.
Notable among the vessels in the
harbor was the United States dispatch
boat Dolphin, having on board Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Allen and
a party of Westinghouse.
The approach of the christening
party was greeted with tremendous
cheers, and as Miss Letter and her at
PENDANTS assembled the gaily- decked
platform, and while the Workmen We're
engaged in knocking away the last
keel blocks and the shores, all ewes
were UPON the young lady of Chicago.
Suddenly the painted mass of steel
quivered, then slowly began sliding-to-
ward the water. Just as the motion
fairly began Miss Letter, who had been
standing with the christening bottle
poised in the air, let it swing sharply
against the bow, simultaneously utter
ing the words: Il christen thee Illinois"
The bottle crashed into a thousand
fragments, and the wine streamed
down the side of the nations new de-
fender. AS the great vessel moved
down the ways cheer after cheer went
up from the multitude of spectators,
whose enthusiastic shouts almost
drowned the noisy welcome to the
newcomer sounded by the whistles in
the harbor.
The Illinois struck the water with a
resounding splash and foated majes-
tically out into the stream. The bat
tleshiD was soon picked up by tugs
which were in waiting, and towed to
pier, where she will secure her boilers,
engines and other machinery.
Among the distinguished spectators
were: Governor John r. Tanner of
Illinois; Governor Taylor of Virginia;
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Allen,
Mrs. John A Logan, Naval Constructor
Hichborn, designer of the vessel; As
sistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn.
Captain Paget, British naval attache:
General Mestrago. Russian naval at
tache; Mr.. Kennedy, Italian naval at
tache, and III. Bonfire, French naval
attache.
Among the Chicago party were Mr..
and Mrs. A. Letter. Mr.. Joseph Letter
and Miss Letter.
MOST POWERFUL BATTLESHIP.
The Illinois will be the biggest, most
powerful and probably the most gener-
ally effective battleship in the United
States navy. Larger than the Iowa
and heavier than the Oregon, the Illi-
nois is still so designed that she will be
able to enter any harbor open to the
smaller battleships, while in the matter
of speed she will rank with any of
them. The most striking difference be-
tween the Illinois and the battleships
now in service is the high freeboard of
the former, enabling her to fight her
guns from their great elevation above

THE GEORGIA JOURNALISTS,
SAW THE SIGHTS OF THE CITY
YESTERDAY.
Visited the Lake, Dined at the
Knutsford, the Guests of Land
lord Holmes, and Went Away.

The so Georgia editors who arrived in
the city on Monday afternoon spent
yesterday seeing the sights of the
city. They drove to the leading places
of interest and went to Saltair on a
special train provided by the Saitalr
Beach management.
1t was too cold TO battle, but they
enjoyed the trip, nevertheless.
UTAH FRUIT
The visitors between and 6 o'clock
in the evening called at the hall of rel
les and were delighted with the very
fine mineral exhibit to be seen there.
They also were both surprised and de-
lighted with the fruit exhibit which the
state board of horticulture is making.
The exhibits, however, were only being
unpacked, and were not in Such shape
as to give any adequate idea of what
the display will be when it is COM
plete. The board of horticulture, how
ever, presented each of the visitors
with sack of Utah fruit, which deli
cate attention was thoroughly appre-
ciated.
Thanks are due to Mr.. w. Henderson
for the aid rendered by him to the
board in this matter, as if it had not
been for his substantial contribution,
the board could not have made the pre-
sensations.
While the editors were at the hall of
relics, short speeches were made by
Judge c. c. Goodwin, Judge Colborn
and Secretary of the Board Wright,
who welcomed the newspaper men and
rendered them the freedom of the city,
and several of their number replied in
a felicitous manner.
DINE AT THE KNUTSFORD.
Prompted by a desire to contribute
to the enjoyment of the Georgia editors,
Proprietor Holmes of the Knutsford in
duced them to dine at his popular hos
telry last evening as his guests The
entire party partook of sumptuous
repast under bowers of fragrant flow
ers and amid delightful music. The
visitors showed their appreciation of
Mine Host Holmes courtesy by giving
the Knutsford three cheers and tiger.
Then they hurried to board the 3:40
o. m. train for the north and west,
carrying with them very pleasant
memories of Zion.
