To Make good Butter.—The follow

from the Rome Courier. It will do to try.
Take the yolk of 8 eggs, beat as making

then add 2 pounds of batter, churn all
together for five minutes, and you will
have 8 pounds of good butter. Try and

Mr. leogan, street contractor, has
had rather a tough job before him the
past month, in making passable the street
that leads from Tionpe and running by
McKay’w hill. In wet weather tho large
volume of water that passes through what
known as the “old golly,” destroyed
the work done at that point so often that
repairs on it were stopped three or fonr
years ago, and the street remained im
passable until Mr. Logan took the matter
hand. The culvert is built of the
best and heaviest kind of timber, well
put together, and, we think,will stand the
“rush of many waters” a long time to
come. The work is well done, and shows
that our City Fathers have got the “ right

Communicated.
Mr. Editor : I sec in your paper of
toe 9th inst, a communication over the
signatore of “ Wist ” in which he reflects
upon the propriety of Sewing Societies,
&e. Now I think him very nnkind to
say the least of it, to come ont at tho
eleventh hour and condemn the Societies
that have so long since been organized in
onr community. It looks muchly like he
intended venting Ins spleen npontho last
and recent organization ; if so, will he
plesso turn his eye and behold their par
sonage, a standing monument—the off
spring of a once organized Sewing Socie
ty—the industry and energy of a faithful
few! Now, “ Wist” must know that onr
churches and their interests are charitable
institutions, and have to bo supported by
voluntary contributions. While I agree
with him that these Societies are gotten
np by toe wealthier class of the commu
nity, yet I maintain that such organiza
tions are right and good in their aims,
and do not knowingly take one hour's
work from the laboring poor. The work
we do wonld not be given to those whom
Wist’’thinks will suffer for want of it. It
is such work and contributed by such per
sons as would otherwise do it themselves.
Then why discourage the ladies in this
noble work, or attempt to thwart their
good designs and wise purposes ? They
willingly sacrifice many home pleasures
and interests, and tax their strength and
energies to promote good results ; all of
rhich, I will venture to say, is because
they have not liberal hnsbands, fathers
and brothers. I do not mean to say that
they aro not liberal to their own indul
gences, bnt stingy to their wives, sisters
and daughters. I do not think I wonld
hazard anything in saying that if the men
wonld abandon their many extravagant
pleasures and vice* and contribute the
amount thus spent to their families, that
they would no longer feel it was a neces
sity to resort to Sewing Societies to make
money to defray church expenses and be
stow alms upon the indigent and super
animated members of their churchen. If
our men and women, young and old,
were more industrious and economical
churches and missions, at home and
abroad, would not languish as they do
for support.
We need a reform, who will put the ball
motion for this great and good work.

Interesting to Cotton Growers.—A
machine has been invented by Mr. G.
W. Grader, of Memphis, which, if but
half which is claimed for it be realized,
will add greaty to the wealth of the South.
It ia called the " Linter,” and by it the
waste from the cotton gin known as
motes,” and heretofore of no use except
as a fertilizer, undergoes a cleansing pro
cess, by which it is freed from its impur
ities and mado into a good ordinary cot
ton suitable for batting or a coarse arti
cle of goods. The machine now in oper
ation in Memphis is capable of consum
ing one million pounds of motes eachyear
at a trifling cost The Grader Manufac
turing Company propose si once to erect
mills in each of the cotton-producing
States, and tho saving which will annu
ally result from their general use may be
estimated at millions of dollars.
