v.tFTED B'. T 11 EAR I LESS.
A St Louis correspondent of the New
Or leans Times Democrat shews that Mad
rkc Patti-Ni- olini is something of a hyp
ocrite, and that though dowered with the
splendid gift of song, she i« really a heart
less woman. While singing at St. Louis
she said the place was dear to her, and she
loved it, because her brother Carlo was
buried there. Thia bit of sentimentality
led to an exposure not at all creditable to
the prima donna. It appears that Carlo
Patti, in spite of his remarkable musical ac
complishments, did not have the faculty of
making or keeping money. He was unfortu
nate in his marital relations, and possibly
had the failings of weak humanity. At any
rate, he lost health and position—happi
ness had long vanished. His friends helped
him, and he parted with his violin for
S4OO. Finally he was reduced almost *o
starvation. At that j nocture we are told
that “a gentleman of position wrote to
Mme. Patti, who was hen in St. Peters
burg, enjoying luxury and favor. She was
told of the wretched condition of her bro
ther, that he was 1 dying of want and
misery, and hfs children starving.’ The
reply read * that her brother was a good
for-nothing, and that those who aided him
in any way need not look to her for reim
bursement or return of any kind.* There
fore hie debts remain unpaid, and but for
the sympathetic charity of strangers Carlo
Patti would have been buried a pauper in
the Potter’s Field.”
After he was dead his musical friends
gave him a funeral worthy of hie talent, and
one man spent considerable sums in in
suring him a Christian burial according to
the ri’es of his church. And yet, when at
St. Louis, Madame Patti-Nicolini refused
to be presented to this friend of her dead
brother, and positively declined to hear
from bin lips any detail of the last days of
one whose grave she professed to revere !
Carlo was marvellously like his sister Ad
elina in personal appearance, and had
the exceptional gift of his family.
Any one who saw him at New
Orleans in 1859 would never have
imagined that his life was to be
brief, unhappy an 1 full of woe. His sis
ter had the lamp of Aladdin when he had
not a taper to light bis way to the garret
where he suffered, despaired and died.
And yet she refused to help him, when a
single diamond from the multitude she
possessed would have done so. When she
sang at an enormous salary, in this coun
try, Inst winter, the writer was tempted to
spend sundry dollars to see and hear one
of whom he had heard so much. Critics
eaid that the voice of the singing
woman was something miraculous, but
it did not reach the soul or touch the
heart. Hence, there was disappointment
—almost ch agri . that what was expectod
to exalt and delight the nobler feelings
did not even penetrate the surface of real
sentiment and pathos. It seemed a mys
tery then, but is so no longer. God gave
the eister of Carlo Patti a wonderful vocal
organ and a cold intellectual power. But
the heart was made microscopic and the
soul—why, as Andbtsw -ohnson once said
of that animated particle or subtle essence,
it would roam for all eternity in the peri
phery of a mustard seed and never touch
its sides !
SORCERY AND l»rt OIC -
in
fashion and degree from ancient sorcery
and magic. Paul, the Apostle, was filled
with the Holy Spirit, but Elymas, the sor
cerer, was '‘full of all subtility and mis
chief, a child of the devil perverting ths
right way of the Lord.” In all ages there
has been a craving among men to pane
trate the mysteries of the unseen world, !
and the methods adopted for that purpose
are many and singular. A recent setmon
of Mr. Bbfcher’s is full of sense and sug- I
gestion on this topic. Nobody can accuse i
him of being hide-bound orthodoxically,
but even he, with his latitudinarian views,
has felt compelled to denounce and ridi
cule ths mountebanks who make a buck- |
ster of spiritualism, in tho common accep- I
tation of that term. He says:
Experience shows that as a class of men
they probably go back to the old sorcerers, de
ceivers of men, misleaders. As for spiritual
ism itself, I am very free to say that I could i
never account or see that any one else could i
aceonn* for many things that happen at what :
are called seances. I never happened to be
present at one where I got & single idea,
though I have got a shock. No man on earth
could desire more than I to believe in modern
spiritualism; no man on earth could be more
willing, more anxious, more glad to believe it:
but e n lemnly I can’t do it, I can’t do it. In the
first place, I have never heard anything from
the othe- world ths* a boy five years old could
not see in th»a world Stuff ! unutterable stuff;
the greater part of it, I mean. Some people
say they do have com uunications of very
great value.
I Have Been At Seances
and have read Spiritua’ist papers a good
deal, and have seen my father come under
the table, my mother,and my brother George,
and my little children; and there was some
thing in it that was very impressive. I will
not deny that when I was in England my fa
ther appeared to me- It was at a seance in
the house of brother Chablis Dung an bo that
there was no professional trickery; it was as
honest a convention as could possibly be.
There was no thought of guile or deceit My
father came, audit seemed from the way the
table acted as though it was he. It was a ro
bust, strong, energetic action and it was not
until h« came to talk that I saw the table was
» fool (Laughter). Ho said to me “my son,
you are exerting yourself too much; you are
in great danger of breaking low v* I sai d‘l
know that; what shall I do?’ He answered,
'Toumust observe the laws of health.’ ‘Well,’
I sa ; d,‘l didn’t c’lme .3,030 miles to learn
that; I knew that before I left Brooklyn.
My mother cvne and I have
reaeon to suppose it was her method. She
was a meek woman and not demonstrative, of
grave presence and great depth, and the table
acted exact’v as I think she would have done.
But I could get nothing out of my mother.
My little children came and pecked at the
table like littß b : rds, but they had nothing to
say and the whole thing passed away. Yet I
can’t prevail on myaeif to say I knew that thia
did not take place from any collusion; there
was no motive for it, no ground or reaso-? that

nave no doubt there are a great many of my
congregation, I know there are, who believe in
Spiritualism. Some take great comfort in it.
I would not destroy their comfort for one mo
ment, but my own impression is that scientific
men should give more attention to this sub
ject, and common people not instructed in
methods of investigation should give a great
deal less attention to it. I think that people
are hurt by it. Here and there are unhurtable
persons, but in genera! those that follow on to
know the spirit world are a good deal more
hurt than helped by it.
The explanation of much that shocks or
startles in the spirit manifestations, out
side of mere juggling like that of Robert
Howdim, is just as Mr. Beecher states it—
kinship with ancient sorcery and with
Eltmas, whom St. Paul accused of dia
bo'ism. Swedenborg himself declared that,
a? a general proposition, only the wicked
spirits returned through the medium of
grossly sensual or material mediums. And
what an entertainment for healthy minds
to behold the sport of hob-goblins or
hear the wre’ched chatter that purports to
come from the intellectual lords who once
ruled the world of thought!
It is true that some persons profess to
! have been converted to a belief in immor
tality by spiritual manifestations. Bat
how many of these persons had their wits
unsettled by the revelation? SliU the pre
cept holds good that “bles=ed are they who
'do not see and yet believe.” There is no
, harm in philosophic and scientific invasti
gation of the prodigies of spiritualism, but
the chances of learning anything bf the
invisible universe by such experiments
are Blender indeed. For the vast tna
ijority of people the safest plan is to
have faith, act well, and patiently await
the knowledge that must come to all
when the curtain fallen upon the eyes of
this world is raised for the vision of an
other sphere. We apprehend that he or
’ she who attempts to draw that veil aside
■ prematurely will be punished for it. Ex
pecting to behold a smiling angel, a
I grinning demon may be hidden there.

M ■ *
PREHISTORIC man.
Professor N. Joly, cf the Science Facul
; ty of Toulouse, h s contributed to the In
ternational Scientific Series, published by
D. Appleton & Co , a remarkable work en
: titled “Man Before Metals." The author
apologizes to the church initially for dem
i oastrating that, in his opinion, man ex
i isted on this planet many thousands of
years before the reputed arrival of Adam
and Eve. He ako contends that the man
of to-day is supremely superior, men
| tally, morally and physically to the
antediluvian brotherhood. He asserts,
and essays to prove, that he is strong
er, larger and longer-lived. Man’s an
tiquity has been formulated by remains
of stone implements found with human re-
■ mains. Very singular and important dis
covaries have teen made in this connec-
■ tion, giving rise to many theories and
computations. Suspicion may attach to
all such treasure-trove. “Accidental dis
turbances of the soil, occurring at widely
: separated periods, may have mixed the
productions of human industry with bones
of different dates. For instance, in a cave
at Herault, in thA of a .cave bear was
an
How possibly account for
I «, preventdistant race of men,
as to time, coming across ancient remains
and mingling the traces of their rude civi
lization with those which antedated them
selves thousands on thousands of years ?”
A writer in the New York Times shows
tnat brick discoveries in the Nile mud
would imply, by caiculaiion of annual de
posits of the river, that the world was
14.000 years old. Prof. Draper estimates
that it is at least 250,000 years old. “The
old inhabitant of France could walk dry
shod to Britain, the North Sea stood 400
feet higher, and Spain and Africa were
united, Primitive man might have gazed
horror-stricken at the upheaval of the
Alps, or seen the slow, drealful, devastat
ing advance of the glaciers. Said the real
founder of archaeology, “God is eternal,
but nun is old indeed.”
M. Joly estimates that soup could be
made of animal remains which have been
imbedded in the earth for unnumbered
centuries, and this is no: improbable it
we are to believe the report that the relics
ot the mammoth are etill discoverable in
Siberia so preserved that wolves of this
epoch can get a toothsome morsel out of
the car.-ass of a beast that presumably per
ished long before Adam was born.
Mr. Joly contends and apparently
proves that the remoter man, who existed
before the metais, had industries; knew
something of agriculture, navigation, com
merce; was artistic; conveyed ideas by
means cf sign language, and had a relig
ion. This wo»ld seem to relieve him of
the imputation of Col. Ingersoll that he
had “teeth three feet long and a teaspoon
ful of brains in the back of his head.”
Scientists do not agree as to the color or
peculiarities of the primitive man. Some
say he was black, others brown or red.
Some think he was of the Mongolian type.
All material proofs seem to coincide that
he was then, as now, a batterer.
The writer from whom we have inciden
i tally quoted says: “Lately some carious
■ questions have been advanced which the
j students of evdut’on have not yet replied
I to. If man came from the ape, in the
transition period, did the ape ever fashion
a flint instrument? There are some who
believe that the ape did work a stone in
strument of some kind—it might be but a
splinter of flint —and accredited monkey
wrought flint fl skes are placed in coliec-
I tions.”
It would be bard to prove that an ape
ever did any such thing. If so, the mod
; ern ape has seriously degenerated and
evoluted with a double-back-action. M.
Joly has collected nearly all that science
has discovered or pretended to discover on
this subject. It will be found curious and
useful reading. When Red Jacket was
appealed to to become a Christian he ask
ed if all Christians believed in the Bible
the same way. The reply being in the
negative, he said to his missionary friend :
“Go back to your people, and when they
a ree about that Book, come again and I
will confer with you.” Some such reply
is apt to be given to the scientists who,
like the so-called philosophers, are by no
means in accord on the real meaning of
I what speculative theories or data imply.
Senator Riddlebebgeb attempts to prove
that the Democrats did not triumph in the
late election. The Richmond Dispatch con
tinues to rt-j flee, notwithstanding.
A NOVEL SUGGESTION.
The Chronicle was content that the peo
ple of Crawfordville should purchase and
perpetuate memorially the home and
grave of Alexander H. Stephens, and so
primarily suggested. The Chronicle was
also satisfied to suggest that Georgia
should contribute to the Federal Capitol a
marble effigy of that illustrious statesman.
Bat the Petersburg Index Appeal goes a
bow-shot beyond this. It wishes the South
to unite in erecting a monument to Alex
ander H. Stephens, because, in its opin
ion, be far more than any other citizen,
stopped the spread in Southern States of
a false and pernicious “liberalism” which
threatened to produce in every State from
Virginia to Texas a worse condition of af
fairs than existed in the times of recon
struction. Mr. Stephens, it says, declined
a nomination for Governor of Georgia of
fered him by many well meaning men.
attached friends of his, who thought duty
compelled them to act independently of
the Democratic party, and because of his
election as the Democratic nominee “lib
eralism” has now “no hope whatever any
where, and the misguided few who re
main with it for a time will of necessit?
return soon to the Democratic party or
drift into the Republican party.”
We confess that this view is a novel and
striking one. We Georgians may not have
seen it so clearly because the object was too
close upon us, and because we congratulate
ourselves upon being invincible Demo
cratically against any outside or inside as
sault or conspiracy. But Virginia was at a
convenient point of observation and had
the enchantment that distance is said to
lend. At any rate, writhing under the
lash and domination of Mahone and his
so called Liberals, we do not wonder that
staunch Old Dominion Democrats have an
exalted opinion of Mr. Stephens as a giant
vanquisher of Mahoneism.and that, in lieu
of a living exemplar at bom a , they insist
upon doing for him what Richmond has
never done for Lee.
We fear that the South loses much of its
reverence for men when they are gone. If
this be harsh judgment, we are willing to
test it by seconding the proposition cf our
Petersburg contemporary, that the South
should contribute a monument to Mr.
Stephens, and erect it where it may stand
as a mighty beacon, warning tbe people
against the encroachment of “Liberalism,”
which is nothing but an old Radical wolf
in a dirty sheep’s clothing.
HARVARD AND BUTLER.
It is the custom of Harvard University
to confer the degree of LL D. upon every
Governor of Massachusetts. By a vote of
13 to 11 this presumptive honor has been
refused to Benjamin F. Buileb by the
overseers, among whom is a broth
er of Senator Hoab. As Harvard had
made Gbant and Hayes Doctors of Law
it is preposterous to say that Butler
did not have the proper intellectual and
scholarly fitness. In such a competition he
would doubly discount either of the distin
guished persons named. The Governor must
have made himself personally odious to the
nabobs of Massachusetts, and so a majori
ty of their representatives at Harvaid
determined to snub him. This will im
mensely strengthen him with the masses,
and he will nut forth all of his resources
11 jW I ar<
’ neve^eFwas human power,
Which could evade, if unforgiven,
The patient search and vigil long
Os him who treasures up a wrong.”
He will, if spared, undoubtedly essay to
turn those verses into practical exemplifi
cation. It is thought by some that But
ler would have refused the degree if offer
ed, thereby mortifying Harvard. So it was
determined to anticipate one suspected
slight by inflicting another deliberate one.
This was Yankee all over—trickery against
trickery—but Butler, in such a game,
has immeasurably the advantage of Har
vard. He will make an adroit use of this
action. He will rouse the masses as they
have never before been roused, and anv
one who has watched current events and
listened to the murmur of discontented
labor at the East may understand what a
weapon of offense Harvard has armed the
Tewksbury uu masker with. If Harvard
did not respect Butler, the individual, it
should at least have respected Butler, the
Chief Magistrate, elected by a majority of
the people. Tho slap in the face was to
that majority, as well as to the man
representing it, and be sure Benjamin
F. Butler will make the aristocracy of
Beacon Hill and its following smart for
their stupendous conceit and folly. Among
those who put this intended indignity up
on the Governor is, as we said, a brother
of the junior Senator from Massachussetts,
whom Mr Ingalls, in a sportively sarcastic
mood, is wont to call the successor of
Charles Sumner. The Hoars appear to
be as anxious to perpetuate hatreds as
Sumneb was eager to obliterate them.
But in an issue of vindication, on that
lower ground, Butler will prove more
than a match, because he cannot
fail to carry popular public opinion along
with him to the ballot-box. Butler’s own
calculation is that this will strengthen him
at least ten thousand votes, and he even
goes so far, it is reported, to expect that,
as the idol of the working men and poorer
classes, he wiil have a considerable boom
for the Presidency itself.
It is fair to say that the venerable Presi
dent of Harvard and several of the bluest of
the bloe-blooded overseers voted to confer
the degree upon the Governor. They were
conservative and diplomatic gentlemen.
They were above petty spites and mean
ness. They had some concern for the ver
dict of the people. They heard and compre
hended the hoarse roar of hungry labor as
it angrily confronts the bloated capital of
the East. They had the sense to wish a
postponement of that issue. But the Hoar
element preferred to sow the wind and de
fy the whirlwind.
The habit of conferring degrees upon
successful men indiscriminately has be
come a nuisance, a laughing stock, what
somebody calls a “ time-honored joke.”
But, in this case, it ceases to be a laughing
matter and may provoke something near
er to tragedy than farce. The line
of conferring degrees ought to have
been drawn long ago at eminent profes
sional merit, but it was a gross blunder to
begin with Butler and not with Grant. In
deed, it is specifically declared that several
Governors of the commonwealth were no
toriously unfit to receive academic dis
tinction, and yet, as they did get the
parchment, no solid ground for refusal
could be found in the case of Butleb, who
happens to know, as he says himself, that
j.:

adds: “I regret ve., -nach this political
“action on the part of the college, be
“ cause I fear it may tend to impair its
“ usefulness, for it is quite possible that
“ the people of the commonwealth may
“ hereafter remember it to the disadvant
“ age of the college, and come to the con
“ elusion to divorce the college and State
“ as our fathers divorced the church and
“ State, and may inquire if there is any
“ reason why the property of that institu
“ tion shall be exempted from the taxa
“ tion which is so burdensome upon us,
“ while they use the alms of the State so
“ bestowed upon them for educational
“ purposes in an endeavor to control the
“ politics of the State.”
On the whole, it may be said that But
leb secretly rejoices at the stupidity of
his enemies, and will pose as a martyr of
the people in an inimitable way. That
the people will espouse his cause there is
every reason to believe, and that this
trifling affair may actually initiate a social
and political revolution in Massachusetts
is not beyond the range of the highest
probability.
CHINESE RIOT.
HISTORY OF THE AFFAIR AND SUB
SEQUENT HAPPENINGS.
Some Small Boy the Probable Perpetra
tor of the Great International Out
rage—The Case tn Court Who
the Alleged Rioters Are—Ef
forts of the Counsel to have
Bills Found.
Waynesboro, Jane I.—lt may be truth
fully said that the enlightened and pro
gressive city of Waynesboro was last week
on trial before the world, and that
it has passed through tbe ordeal triumph
antly and without stain, is reason for con
gratulation. On the part ot the State
nothing was left undone that could
have been done to procure true bills
against the persons accused of participat
ing in the alleged attempt Io expel the
Chinese from the city. But as the
Associated Press dispatch, which was
sent from here last week, did not ap
pear in the Chronicle, it is neces
sary perhaps, to a full understanding of tbe
“Chinese riot” that the salient points of
that dispatch should be here repeated: Two
Chinamen openpd a store here early in
January, and it was understood that five
families more would soon arrive from San
Francisco, as it is said those who had come
were trying to negotiate for the renting of a
row of small buildings on a cross street.
In consequence perhaps of these rumors
more than anything else or in a frolic-ome
mood a party of young men entered the
Chinese establishment on February first
and stated to them that it was the wish o f
the citizens of Waynesboro that they should
leave the place. Met with a determined
refusal by the Celestials, some intimida
tion is said to have been used to induce
them to “fold their tents and quietly steal
away.” Rumor says that one of them was
tied with a plow line in the store and the
other to a tree outside the store, and a pis
tol discharged over bis head. But so far
as I could learn they were not injured in
person, nor was any of their goods remov
ed, or any personal property taken from
them. I am confident that not one
of the persons accused of the riot
would have descended so low as to
steal. They are not of the class who com
mit robbery. So any rumor as to this
should be pronounced false. The State

used to accomplish this result. When
Solicitor Wright arose in his place and
moved that the grand jury be purged, sev
eral witnesses had been already examined
by the jury summoned for this session of
the court. Judge Roney entertained the
motion and ruled accordingly. The
jury were then called into the court ro m
and his Honor stated to them that no per
son who was related in the slightest degree
of consanguinity or affinity would ba per
mitted to serve as a ’juror in this case.
Under this strict ruling a juror was
stricken from the list because his grand
mother was a second cousin to the grand
mother of one of tbe defendants and ao- I
other because his wife who had been ten
years in her grave was a cousin to another
of the accused. Certainly under such
ruling as this a legally unbiased jury must
have been secured and after exhausting i
three panels eighteen eligible jurors
were found, who were immediately
sworn and then the inquest began in
earnest. Col. M. P. Carroll had immediate
management of the prosecution, and the
witnesses brought before the grand jury
were examined by him. At this tim*
there was, perhaps, more feeling displayed
by the people of Waynesboro than ever
before. They were anxious as to the re
sult but as determined to fight the cause
strongly and to use every legal remedv
“Fight the devil with fire, is my rule,”
said one citizen, while another remarked
that “this country belongs to the nigger
and the white m-n and no half breed
need apply.” While it was generally
admitted that extreme difficulty would
be experienced in the identification
of the accused, yet that such an
inqueEt was being held was sufficient
causS for anxiety, not only to them, bnt
to almost every family in Waynesboro, es
the eighteen probable defendants were re
lated to many of the best people here. To
name the accused would he proof to any
one acquainted with this city that they
are among the most enlightened, enter
prising and law abiding persons here, and
when this is proved it can be said they are
in all those qualities which denote valu
able citizens, the peers of any men in
Georgia. Who are they ? Here is the
list. At the head is Major W. A Wilkins,
the mayor of the city and the person to
whom above every one else Waynesboro
owes .its importance, and then there
are Messrs. R O. N-ely, Simeon
Bell, H. S. Attaway, R. A Rhodes,
J. K. Evans, Jule Fulcher, Charley
Thomas. John 8. Blount, Asa Blount, P.
B Hall, Sol Wetherhahn, C. E Sherer,
Wm. Fulcher, James Cates. Wm McEll
murry, R. F. Hensolt and W. M. Wimber
ly. It was not the fault of the judge, the
solicitor or his able assistant, that the
jury failed to find true bills. Nor can the
grand jury be censured for their action.
Theirs was a legal and and rightful di
cision under the evidence. The fact is
that the State failed to legally identify
any one of the accused as having been
present at the riot. With all the
information the jurv could extract
with Phil Carroll’s efficient corkscrew,
from forty-five State witnesses, which num
ber were interrogated during the two days
continuance of the inquest, they failed to
identify any one of the accused, and were
in consequense compelled to report “no
bill.” Ah Sin, one of the Chinamen, could
not speak a word of English, and hence
Loo Chong was called in to act interpreter,
and thus was presented the novel sight of the
one party chiefly interested in the prosecu
tion being made the mouth-piece of an
other equally interested party. Ah Sin
was, however, relied upon to identify ,
the roiters. Yet it is said that the j
nearest he came to the identification of
any person was when he stated that one of i
the participants in the riot had specks on
his face “likee fly makee on panee of
glassee.” If the oath of an individual who
would swear on “anyee bookee,” as Ah Sin
said he would swear, is evidence, then a
freckled face man, boy or girl may have
been among those who committed this
“ great international outrage.” It is,
however, a happy solution of the
affair as made by the grand jury,
and since the persons accused can
now “laugh over the conquered way,”
they are doubtless glad Judge Roney
ruled so strictly and that the solicitor as
well es Mr. Carroll performed their un
plea‘ant duties so throng jly and us I am
satisfied,Chinaman wiil never again be mo
lested in Waynesboro, it appears to me
that this a good point to discontinue the

FRESH ARRIVAL OF THE
GREAT FOOD FLOUR.
THIS is the fourth shipment of WARREN’S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR, and I am nov pre-
Hpared to fill orders at short notice.

DAVIS, J. W. LEVY & CO. ’
THIS GREAT FOOD FLOUR is the BEST, RICHEST and most scientifi ially milled flour
EVER PRODUCED. Ito substantial nutriment and blood making aliment is more than four
times that of any other flour. It contains all nutritious properties of the best, sound plump
wheat, repairs all the wastes of the system, and builds up bone, muscle, brain and nerve It
contains all elements essential to the most perfect mental andphyaical cohditione and chil
dren as well as adults thrive and develop on it wonderfully. We have but one idea to combat
in the introduction of this Flour, and that is the color of the bread. People use the White
Flour because they are 1 orn into the idea that it must be white to look nice. There is no
principle of physiology which bases the qualities of flour upon a whit! color. Thia preference
for white fl ur comes altogether from habit and false education, for those who eat bread and
other food from this ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR, soon begin to experience a natural craving
for it. which white bread does not and cannot satisfy. The LIGHT BROWN color of the bread
with its Bich Wheat Flavor, is a constant reminder that the life and sustenance is not driven
out of it, while its satisfying and nour:shmg qualities attest that it is the perfection of hale
and healthful food. It is the best of Food for the Laborer, the Office Man and the Student
It is the Food for the Weak, the Debilitated the Worn Out and the Nervous; for the Sick and
the Well; for the Young and the Old.
The above are not idle statements; they a-e established facts, app-eoiatad wherever the
Flour is used; and their verification can be made in any family that will regularly use it for
<he short period of two months. Place the Bread before your children daily. Their tastes
are not vitiated by a habit. They will soon show you, by the way they relish and crave it, that
it is a natural, wholesome and healthful Food. Knead the dough well, and as soft as it can bo
handled, and use good yeast, and follow the same method as with other New Process or Patent
Hours, but do not fill the pans as full of dough. For Light Bread, Biscuits, Gems, Griddle'
Cikes, Crackers, Pies, Cakes, &c., it has no equal, and will make a hundred pounds more
bread to the barrel than any other Flour known to the trade.
Good, active, live, responsible Agents wanted in every town and village of Georgia and
Sou h Carolina to sell this Great Food Flour.
