conducting the city dispensary for this
year and today the committee, headed
by the mayor, installed an entirely differ
ent process of doing business
The city dispenser has for years been
doing all the buying and also all the
selling, handling all the money. The new
arrangement calls for a cashier and tick
cts. The. cashier will sell the customer
ticket and he presents this ticket to
the dispenser in payment for the article

The dispensary committee headed by w.

the liquors and the city clerk will issue
it out and charge it to the dispenser at
the retail price, thereby keeping tab on
all business.

of the county and one of the most pop
ular men in the county, assumed charge
of the store this morning, succeeding John

A sensation was created in Girard, Co.

the mayor of that city, upon being noti-
fled by Mayor Browne of Columbus that

clined to advertise the fact
The Alabama law, which provides pro-
hibition for Girard becomes operative
when Columbus goes dry and when the
mayor of Columbus certifes to that fact
and when the Girard mayor publishes the
fact five days. The chain is complete up
to the last link, but up to this hour the
, Girard mayor has failed to insert the
advertisement. Mayor Browne furnished

1.-The paper furnished me by you lays
upon me no duty to take any action
whatever"

mayors answer. The supposed defect IN

more explicit certificate. Mayor Foster

suit legal advice. Probate Judge Benton

TloN-coURTs MAY DECIDE.

Cullman, January Especial mime
saloons are open in Cullman city and do
ing business today under licenses grant
ed by Judge r. 1. Burke of the probate
court yesterday.
The granting of the licenses followed
a ruling by Judge Burke that the local

ton election held here December were
unconstitutional and void.
1t is understood that the matter will be
carried to the supreme court for final
ruling.
1t will be remembered that AL Richter,

the reopening of saloons. Judge Burke
promptly granted the petition and issued
county and state licenses to 10 saloon

Why Lost
MY Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

IT believe my fate Is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who daily
lose their places for reasons they do
not know, and probably would not be-
lieve When their last pay envelope
comes along, it is usually Your serv-
ices no longer required" If the truth
were known, the reason for their I'M
ceremonous removal would probably be
that their usefulness was destroyed be-
cause of some mental worry, bodily all
ment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost
because of a headache. In this quick
age our minds must be clear, rapid,
active, and free from outside influence
or worry, or else we go down to failure
with the throng of ''foaters" who go
from one place of employment to an
other, giving no satisfaction to others or
to themselves, constantly growing older
and less useful, with no ambition, no will
power and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that Is In him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from all
fretful ndispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full of
troubles. That's why 1 lost my job My
stomach in the first place was always
1t and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. 1
made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That
was the end.
There are thousands like me- going
about with quick lunch" faces, dyspeptic
manners and repulsve atmospheres. No
employer wants such mems services.
Take my advice. A healthy stomach
is half the battle, for it keeps your mind
clear, and your face rosy. 1 have II
healthy stomach now and hold a good
position, and my employer is satisfied
and so am l.
