 J. Augustus Orr, who has been book keeper at the Anniston yarn mill for number of years, died at the Presbyterian hospital in Atlanta at g am. today, his death being due to a stomach trouble from which he has suffered for num- Der of years.
 Mir Orr was about 65 years old, and served as a bugler in the Tenth Alabama regiment during the civil war. He was brother of c. A. and w. A. Orr of OK ford. and had hosts of friends in all parts of the country.

 The recent city ordinance fixing a tax of s12,0OO a year on clubs having buffet from which refreshments and liquors are served to members, has led the clubs of Anniston to make a change in their methods, and the buffet is abandoned.
 The Elks club closed it's buffet early in April and the Calhoun club has now decided to pursue the same course. The city license ordinance has gone into ef- feet. The state and county license would increase the club license by an additional s250 annually.
 The Calhoun club is at once to install the locker system, each member having a locker in which he may keep such re- treatments as he desires for himself and friends. The clubs rules prohibit the taking or serving of drinks on Sunday, the same as under the license laws.
 As yet the Elks club has taken no steps to introduce the locker or any other sys- tenn to replace the buffet, but will prob ably do so in the near future. The Eagles have also done away with their buffet. At a meeting to be held tonight 1t will be determined whether or not lockers will be put in.
