AT THE SCHOOLS YESTERDAY

Under the auspices of the Glynn
Junior Civic League there was most
interesting and successful chryanthe-
mum show held yesterday in the
Glynn Academy auditorium. Great
care and attention to the plants were
manifest in the wonderful results and
1t was with the utmost pride that the
children brought their well-cultivated
blooms.
After the flowers were arranged
around the room the children went out
on the playground where games of
all kinds were INDUCED in until the
judges, Mrs. J. B. High, Mrs William
Nightengale, Jr., and Miss Winnie Nc
KinnOn, were ready for them Many
of the flowers were so well developed
and perfectly matured that the judges
found difficulty in making their de-
cisions and it was after much thought
and deliberation, in which blossom
and foliage were considered, that the
prizes were awarded as follows:

SALOONS HERE
MAY ALL QUIT
IBEFORE MAY
THEY MAY TAKE OUT L.
CENSE TO OPERATE FOR
ONLY A THIRD OF YEAR
UNDER THE NEW LAW.

Brunswick may not have half a
dozen near-beer saloons after Janu
airy first. In fact there may not be
a single one here, although the state
law will permit them to operate until
May first
While no announcements have vet
been made by any of those now en-.
gagged in the business, most of these
prOprietors have discussed the matter
and it is understood that the opinion
of many of them is to discontinue bus
mess on the first of the year. when
their state and city licenses expire
rather than to continue for -four
months and then be forced out bv
the new law, which now only lacks
the signature of the governor
1t is understood, in fact it has been
announced from Atlanta, that the
state tax, which is now $500 per year
for retail beer dealers, will more than
likely be prorated in order that all OF
the dealers of the state. if they SO
desire, can continue business until the
hCN IcW SOCS llIlO GlItCl. w ME JnG
matter has not yet been discussed
here, it is probable that city council
will take up the matter early next
month to see just what is to be done
in regards to a city license for the
four months that the saloons will be
permitted to operate during the COM
ing year There seems to be but one
thing for council to do, and that will
be the same action as has been sug.
gested in the state, prorate the H.
cense.
At present the annual tax on near.
beer saloons in the city is 5000 per
year, and while nothing definite can
be stated just at present, it is more
than likely that council, when the IL
cense ordinance comes up next month,
will arrive at a plan whereby a license
can be issued for four months, pro
rated probably, which would amount
TO about $6666 for the third of a
year.
There are at present in Brunswick
twelve of these saloons, paying the
city 5000 each, a total of $1,000 per
year, and this "eJ enue will of course
be cut off after May first.

LONDON, Nov 13.-Uneasiness is
being shown by the allied powers
over the attitude of G! eece and this
feeling is not likely to be allayed by
the latest news that a German mill
tary mission has arrived at Athens
by way of Bulgaria and Slloniki.
Official circles in Paris profess to
believe there is no ossibility of
Greece changing her attituGe for one
distinctly favorable to the central
powers, but rumors of s, ne such
step considered became SO | arsistent
that the Greek minister to France
felt called upon to visit the foreign
office with assurance of Greeces ad"

difficult. The Russians, continuing
their attacks between OLAF and the
west of Lake Babit, are reported to
be forcing the Germans into the
