death had been momentarily expect
ed for several days, and yet it came
as shock to his relatives and
friends. He was carried to Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, some
three or four weeks ago in the hope
that an operation would effect a cure,
but upon making an incision the ply
sicians found that no was suffering
from cancer Of the liver and that an
operation would be useless. AS soon
as he was able to make the trip he
= was brought home, and gradually
grew weaker till the end came.
The deceased was in his SD year
and was the eldest son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clifton II. Miller. About ten
years ago he was united in marriage
to Miss Lillian Simpson. He had
been an employee Of the Oconee Mar
bic and Granite Company for the past
ten years. He was q man OF sterling
worth and a devout Christion. He
was a member OF the Westminster
Baptist church. His death Is deeply
deplored in tho community.
Surviving him are his wife, Mrs.
Lillian Miller, and three children
Henry, Kathryn and Louise the ia

Most of Canada to Be DRY"
kansas City Star. ]

Next year all the Dominion of
Canada from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, from the international boundary
line clear up to the Arctic. with the
single exception of the Province of
Quebec, will be dry as bone" Pro-
hibitior will be in force everywhere,
and it will be enforced, too. for Ca
nadians have a habit of enforcing their
laws. The great provinces of Ontario
and British Columbia adopted pro-
hibition this summer.
AS to how 1t works in some of the
territory already dry the police chief
of Winnipeg says: There is no drunk
enness in Winnipeg to-day. We used
TO have twenty to thirty drunks every
day when saloons were open. Now we
have none"

I'm the Province of Manitoba has been
reduced 5S per cent. since saloons We're
put out. In the three months of
March, April and May last year we
had S31 convictions for drunkenness
in Winnipeg. In the same three
months this year we had only 161."
Such a reduction of criminal costs is
already showing in savings of money

all freckled and wrinkled by wind and
weather, took on an extra pucker. In
deed, 1t did not seem easy to find Sam S
home, for he had no clue but Noting
ham and very ordinary surname.
But by and by, by the good luck
which SO often helps, nurse came in
who had friends in Nottingham, and
she undertook the quest for Sans
mother.
And now the address has come, and
for the whole afternoon Thompson has
been busy with pen and paper. 1t is
against the rules. of course, to allow
ink, because 1t has such a curious way
of getting involved with the sheets, but
this was to be no ordinary letter. and
so Sisters inkpot was >requisitioned.
Just at dusk, when nurse was going
away, Thompson beckoned. "Tha let
ter" he whispered; "A'd like you to
read en-" 1t was written on two sheets
of sermon paper, very carefully, rather
large.
ITO the Dear Relatives and Friends
of My Late Deceased Friend Sam. BY
one of His Dear Chums." There were
grammatical mistakes in 1t and some
spelling faults, too, but nurse stood
reading it for a long time by the win
dow, and when at last she had finished
she put 1t down again rather quickly
by Thompson and went away: it was
not quite easy at the moment to an
swer his contented "It were all right,
nurse, weren't it?" This, with a few
commas added. is what nurse read
Dear Friends have seen in the
papers that Your dear son Sam have
died Of wounds and being as | am his
dere chum now this long while, i'm
and me was always together, l takes
up my pen to write you. And first
dear relatives let me arst you not to
be sure Sam be dead if 1t say so in the
papers. There be many of them re-
ports and so never believe till you
carn't help. But if Sam is dead and
never to come home no more try dear

Sam died because he was tryin' to do
what he could for you all and for Old
England same as all of us, and what
would happen If we didn't and the
Germans come here don't arsk. He
Just tried to do what our Lord did and
die for all. And it do say Greater Love
hath no man than to die for friends.

comforted.
Well I think this is all at present

CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING
JUDGE KUNKEI

having declared that the court
house has outlived its useful
ness. 1t is proper that the Board OF
County Commissioners take up for Sc
rious consideration the erection of a
new building or the remodeling OF
the present antiquated structure.
There is no doubt that the present
design of the facade is dignified and
attractive. 1t might be possible to
reconstruct the building in such a
way as to provide ample quarters for
the city and county and still retain
the imposing front of the present
structure. In any case it is time that
the subject be given careful and full
consideration to the end that what
ever is to be done may be done with
out further delay.
OF course. the ideal arrangement
would be Joint city and county
building. which would have under the
same roof all officials. Too long the
taxpayers and all having business
with those in authority have been put
to great inconvenience in the transac.
tion of official matters.
Inasmuch as the taxpayers OF the
city are also the taxpayers of the
county, there is no reason why econ.
omy should not be exercised in pro.
viding official headquarters which
would house the various officials and
