THE SWEET TOOTH.
HOW IT IS KEPT FILLED WITH
DELICIOUS CANDIES.
MESSRS. HAMPTON A WEBB OF ATHENS
MANUFACTURE CONFECTIONERY
FROM PUREST SUGARS.
Recently werisited Hampton <fc
“Webb’s handsome Clayton street
(Athens) store, where the trim de
livery cart was being loaded with
fancy goods.
“Come in," said one of the pro
prietors, hastening to the door.
“We have something to show yon.”
A step carried us to the “inner
walls.” It is a prettilv arranged
store, with its red facings and bright
counters, and its sweet scented, at
tractive interior. Bright sunbeams
platted themselves through the
windows and fell among the sugar
coated show cases and candy jars,
as if to melt the sticks and drops
and draw from them their sweet
ness and color like bees among the
flowers.
The Clayton street doorway was
a bnsy scene, and had we not want
ed to pursue the attractions within
we would have been entertained
all the morning noticing the boxes
tied up, and rolled into the carts
for immediate shipment and deliv-
ery.
“Where is this candy going ?”
The dainty parcels disclosed what
they contained.
“This lot you see was made up
for Gainesville. Yesterday at'noon
this order was received. In the af
ternoon the lot was made up, and
now before noon the candy is on
the way to the depot."
On the right hand side of the
store as we entered, were four well
filled show cases. One was filled
with French candy and three with
various other kinds, manufactured
by the firm. These couuters were
E resided over by Miss Mattie Will
anks, who has charge of the retail
department. The policy of em
ploying ladies in this branch of
work, indeed, in any branch where
they can serve with advantage, is a
wise one. Woman is filling up
many avenues of industry now, and
filling them acceptably to employ
er and herself. A Philadelphia
manufacturer, no less a man than
“Walter G. Wilson, the great baker,
once told the writer that be em
ployed women in his factory and
in his office whenever he could.
He found the tone of bis establish
ment invariably improved and his
work always well done, and Hamp
ton & Webb will bear the same
testimony.
“Here,” said our conductor, “is
the scrap candy counter. This
candy is made up of odds and ends
from the factory. We only send
whole pieces in shipped packages.
Broken candy is put here and sold
at ten cents per pound, and there
is a good demand for it. It is in
fragments, that is all.”
Around on the counters and
shelves were the other fine goods
in the fancy grocery line, just the
stock one would suppose is kept
in sudh a store. There were crack
ers and peanuts, lemons, oranges
and cocoanuts—in fact a full stock
of fancy groceries which is largely
sold in Athens and to their trade.
Messrs. Hampton & Webb next
conducted us to the stock room,
where is kept the material for mak
ing and flavoring candy, and where
the large bins are filled with can
dy, finished, flavored and assorted,
for the city trade, which is kept up
in a steady stream all the time.
The home demand for their goods
is continuous and increasing, prob
ably the best tribute that can be
paid to any maker or dealer.
But the gentleman who was
showing us through noticed our
impatience to get iuto the room
where candy is made. Overlook
ing other important parts there
fore, we were shown iuto a large
department which has an entrance
on Lumpkin street, as also connect
ed with the Clayton street store.
“We found Mr. J. B. Thornton, the
experienced Superintendent, in
charge of the work, and an inter
esting and fascinating one it is to
an outsider.
“Did you ever see candy made?”
“Well, not since the molasses
skeiu iu the old caudy pullings
hung in pulpy lumps from dangled
fingers. We have seen candy
started a hundred times, but can't
say we ever saw it made.”
“Then look this way. See what
strong hands and cool heads and
improved machinery have done."
Then Mr. Thornton conducted
us through the candy making de
partment and entertained us by
demonstrating the various methods
of manufacture and manipulation.
In all candies Messrs. Uauiptou A
Webb employ only pure sugars,
and they invite the public to view
thsir work and see for themselves.
This is a strong merit iu their bus
iiitus, as there are few manufactur
ers who do not eihsust every cheap
substitute for (Hire sugar.
It would take all (the children iu
Clarke count y, day and night, to
eat sandy as fast as it la turned
out from Hampton A Webb'a nan
dy foolMt A* fast M the pfuMMWj
of making is completed, indeed as
fast as the kettle is emptied, it is
refilled with sugar and set to boil
ing again. It siDgs its sweet song
over the furnace all day, and is
never tired of supplying the crystal
stream. The flavoring matter used
is very delicate and fine, and costs
$7 and 18 a pound. A few drops
even will flavor a whole barrel
of candy.
Everything about the entire es
tablishment is clean. Nothing im
pure is allowed in any step of the
process.
A stranger has no idea what a
large business this firtn carries on.
Few residents in Athens realize the
amount of their trade. Mr. W. P.
Yonderau travels for the house and
displays a neat sample case with
the various kinds of candies nicely
packed up in separate cases.
Messrs. Hampton & Webb are
worthy and industrious young men.
They have achieved a great success
in their business of fancy groceries
and candy making and jobbing,
and this interest, as will be seen,
has grown to proportions which
few have supposed. Such manu
factories are great stimulants to
the growth of a city. The whole
town is interested in the success of
a firm which drives so thorough a
business and is composed of men
so enterprising and reliable. The
bouse is responsible in every way,
and in conducting their extensive
trade, neglects no detail of their
business. They rank A No. lin
Athens community and in this State.

Dear Sisters of the Housekeeper.
Our paper is so full of good tilings that
there hardly seems to be room for one
thing more ; I still believe that I am the
possessor of a bit of very useful knowledge
which might be of value to our mother’s
corner. 8o much is said of the care a mother
ought to take of herself and her little one
after the baby’s birth, but oh ! how little
thought is given to the period precedng it.
So much worry and suffering can be done
away with altogether if the mother would
take proper care of herself before. There
is a most excellent preparatory treatment by
Dr. John Stainback Wilson, Atlanta, (ia.,
that I have used with perfect euccess, and
1 have derived so much benefit from it that
I want every sister of our land who bears
children to know of it, and to spread the
blessed knowledge among all . suffering
sister women. My baby is five weeks old,
weighed ten pounds at birtli and lias not
had a sick hour, nor caused us the loss of
a night's rest yet. Ho lias been perfectly
free from all the ailments and annoyances
that very young babies are subject to. My
own health is better than it lias been for
years. I nearly paid with my life for ray
two children, and having tried both - ways .1
advise every prospective mother to send
for Dr. Wilson’s circulars and post herself.
This is not in the way of an advertisement,
as 1 have nothing to gam save the knowl
edge that I have given my sister womens
helpful hint. Mbs. J. 0. Lsiihkttku.

About twenty years ago . .scovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctor* pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before ( had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been had for two or three years—l had a hacking cougn and spit blood contin
ually. I lied a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and 1 grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all bat
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
