CHAT I Xi«mw came in yesterday and brought a box of pretty things to show some of us how much could be made out of noth ii.g. During the year she has gathered up remnants, some times not more than four inches long .W»d now they are made into beauties. She took a pin book, the sort you buy instead of a paper of pins, and made a little ribbon on each end and tied it in a bow to hang by the dresser. The book flraps in the case like a letter in an en velope and as the pin heads are all the same way there is no trouble in getting a pin. She mude a dozen of them and put a pin book in each one. Then she took some Persian ribbon about four or five, inches wide, lined it with white satin, turned the corners at the top to make It pointed, and put a little rosette or fluffs- bow of baby rib bon with a loop to hang it by. Then got pins with black, blue, brown, pink and white heads and put rows of each till the half yard was tilled. This makes a nice lot of pins to put’ in your guest PDMW. She got six cans of talcum powder and crocheted covers for each one. slipped the powder cans id and tied them around the neck with baby ribbon. She got some handkerchiefs with col ore*! borders, cut off one comer, gath ered that place just a little, put beading along there, slipped ribbon in and 10. there was a dainty apron. She gathered tne corner she had cut off. put some beading on it and used it for the pocket. She got two handkerchiefs and put them together with lace inserting on three sides, lined them with some blue silk and had a dainty case for gloves, ribbons or kerchiefs. She hads? presents ready and they had not cost her half as much as they would If she had bought them made, and she 1 as been spared the worry of hunting for things to "fit her pocketbook.” two or three more times shall we meet this year. Then a new year opens and the book that has been recording our deeds, words, and even our thoughts will be closed until it is opened on that last day. In my daily reading for this daj are these words: •‘And now with a new sense of grati tude. with glad memories of the old year eo soon, to close, and with hopeful confi dence 4n view of the new year that Is approaching we come afresh to Tiiy feet. Oh. God; to Thee who hast crowned the year with Thy goodness; to Thee whose years do not change; to Thee who hast declared that Ihy Son, our Mediator and Redeemer, is the same yesterday, to day and forever. Fulfill Thy blessed word to us in the experiences that are before us. and abide with us even unto the end.” • Faithfully yours. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Oh, Old Time grows tender and mellow. As roving the round earth, the sturdy old fellow. Tear in and year out. keeps coming and ’ going. In winter's wild wrack and in summer's blowing; > Ard he very well knows That wherevdi- he goes, fits as plain to be seen as his frosty old nose.) In each new broken fetter His wish, like a letter. His wish, like a letter. That this jolly round world should grow better and better. —LEWIS J.

Mid if they bap|*en to lie a»K-d any questl ms they lock on their quarterlies to find tbe answer. Not even one half of lite church memtiers attend the Sabbath schools, and how do they expect the non -members tv go?

A Timely Letter My Dear Miss Tbomaa: I will say just a ! few wot.is concerning t good n djrbbor a.- that subject has been introduced, and I think it one among the best of subjects, for truly a good neighbor Is a gem of sterling worth, one that Is willing to deny himself a pleasure or even comfort in order that another, may be not so fvrtvnate. may be more comfortable. A good neighbor is one that ts willing and even glad to accommodate another. She is one that will look at tbe good in one and look over the short- I coming and weak points tn another. The Plble Bays that a good name is rather to be chosen titan great rlctes. and loving favor than silver or gold. I think the same can be said of a good neighbor. A lot can be said of a g<x>d neighbor and I firmly believe that I snow what constitutes one, even though I have failed to express it. Cecil Bell and Tinle Green, wish I could meet with you and hear you talk. I once visited near where you are. It bas been about IS i rears ago. I bare relatives and friends over I there. I used to get letters from Towns and also from Scotland, but I guess they have all • forgotten me. I I want to give some recipes, they may seem {simple and out of place to some; yet I know there are others, like myself, who will appre- I date and use them, for they are our favorite | dish in bog killing time. ' Kcrapple—Take one bog's head and jole and lone liver, put in a kettle and cover with water, let boil till tbe meat will 1 slip off tbe bones. IT it ts a young hog the liver might be lifted lout before this, for the longer It boils the I harder it will get. From time to time add hot water, so as to have plenty of water when it gets done. When all the meat has been removed from the bones, skim »11 the grease 1 off that can be got. drain the liqnor into an- I other vessel, so that you can get all the pieces of bone from it. When this is done, put tbe THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER li, liquor ha‘k on the fire to boil, pick all the bones from the meat and run through the meat ■ •utter with the same seasoning as for sausage. Pour the ground meat and liver In the boiling l*ot, have a pan of sifted meal ready and stir It in fast. Ise as much as yon can stir In. letting it boil and stirring briskly for ten minutes, then turn out into a bowl to mould. When cold cut In thin slices and fry brown. This scrapple is a favorite dish with us. Another nice way is to make liver pudding: Piepare it about the same way as for scrap ple. except that Instead of putting It hack in the pot vou mix about the same amoulit of ■•old boiled rice or hominy, put tn the mould an<i cold. ’Hit* Amount a .itsh full and it won't keep very long, so you a** you have a chance right here to accoin modste that neighbor who. may be. hasn t killed any hogs yet. You can at least show somebody that you are a good neighbor. I hope thia will helpsonie one Ilke I bar. peen helped by the many good recipes that have been sent in from time to time by our dear little edit toss and tlw* Householders. I have tried msnr of them and find them to be ex cellent. so. ye Householders, try mine and let us know the results. With love and a hearty welcome to nil. tbe ohl as well as the new members. Oh. yes. I got my badge, and tihnk It Is per fectly lovely. I am wearing it and »riln« ,o ixtssess and retain the honor that a badge wearer should. A merry Christmas to all. MRS.

I agree with Busy Bee on tbe prohibition law; •it Is one of the best laws of our countr.?, and tbe fault lies in the cltUens not making It more effective. As long as tbe officers and grni.d jury wink nt III* gal whisky selling tn enemies of good will laugh and say It is a tailu e.

How did you spend Thanksgiving day? tbe-e wa*n t • any school that 'lay and a good any ■ f us went to Lumber City to a Thanksgiv.ug rally. Ex-Gov. Hoke Smith spoke In the morn ing. after which a basket dinner was served nt the Masonic hall. Mr. McHatten spoke tint afternoon to the fanners and Dr. Ainsworth that night on education. Now. j»ist a word tn Cecil B*lle. I'm sorry that yon a*.o •<• heart-broken. I feel just ilk** you mean the |*ewple In my neighborhood wt.?n you spoke of your neighbor*, for I live on tne route you mentioned. I'ni sure that we don't feel oursepes above any good man or woman. , and would be glad If you would come and join our Sunday school at Spring Hill. Money and fine dressing will not take any body to In aven, ai.d don't think tbnt the dol lor Is all that wo ar» sft< r. for It is nor. Our Sunday school las raised enough money this year teach pupil bringing a penny every Sunday i to support a Sundry school In Japan. Won't it be glorious to have a Sunday school and to get letters all during the year telling us about the opportunities for good that our namesake finds lo do? As they hare nlgut when we have day. you will see tbnt Spring Hilt is working all «*f the twenty -Hur noure. NtIKA AM>r.KSU>. It F. H No. 1 Towns, Ga. Same Good Resolutions I am most through with my winter sewing, i. nd Christmas will soon be here. But the work is no lighter for mother, though I am expecting to enjoy that day at tbe church, hoping to h* ar a good sermon. I guess there will be a lot ot Curlstiuas trees and nice preseuts hung ttiereon- but how much uiore pleasing it wouul be to «*od io nang sometulug on those Curistuias lives as a presem to Cbnui’s blrtuday. aouie thing that would help carry tne message. I M»*e io give presents anu du, bill wneu x feel tjie Lappieti *s wueu 1 give lor God’s work. i*et » see how many ot us whl do all we can to the best of our knowledge to celebrate t nrist s birthday in a better way than the old way. Lets try/to do something for Him that day or night, that we have ue*er done before, i.ud try to cultivate It with good thoughts and keep uoing good all next year. Take tula little verse and try to live it the best wc know how to do so. ”1 will do what you want me to do; dear Lord, I will go where you want me to go.” I love to read tne good letters and in spite of all my drawbacks will write a few lines, though I be like that little girl that wanted to help her mama cook and couldn't do any thing but bring in chips. 1 am just a sample to show people w-gere they make a mistake in not giving their children education. Then they <-oulJ write to their heart's desire. It's a sin for fathers and mothers who are able to give their children education not to do so. I believe any father and mother can educate their children if they both pull together the right way. Serve the good Lord and raise your children for Him. But here ia moat always tbe mistake, ine lather pulls one way and tbe mvtuer anotaer way. Os course we all make mistakes, and peruaps don't know it till lit a too late. It takes all kinds ot people to fill the world. 1 should not grumble so much, and 1 do thank God tor the past mercies, ami 1 Lope thWt 1 may live so as to be a stum bling block to no one. I am going to tell you a yarn I beard and then 1 wlil quit. An American and a Scotchman were discuss ing the cold experienced in winter in the north ot Scotland. I -Why. it's notibng at all compared to the cold we have in the states," said tne American. "1 remember one winter when a sheep jutnping from a hillock Into a field became suddenly froaen on the way, and stuck In the air like a mas* of ice." , “But. mou.” exclaimed the Scotchman, the law of gravity wouldn't allow that.” “I know that.” replied the tale-pitcher. "But the law of gravity was froxen, too." W ith best wishes to all I am as always, MRS. JOLLY. Where Are the Badges? There is only one more leal" on my calendar— onh one half month more of l»0!»! How list the year bas passed away! To some it has bven’ono of sadness and sorrow; to others it bas beeu full of pleasures; to me it bas not brought one real sorrow, for which 1 am thank ful to th*.* Giver of ail good. We missed getting our Journal last Week an*l I did not like it one bit. Don’t know wh<*se fault it was. but hope it will not occur again. 1 would rather have The Journal than all the papers we take. I am certainly pleased with my badge; would not take a small fortune fpr it. X have been in three of the most prominent towns In .our stale this fall, and have not seen a badge ex cept the one that adorns my coat. 1 fully ex pected to meet some of our Household during our state fair, but was disappointed. A young lad) asked me where I got my badge. 1 Vdcl her all about It, and she said she wanted one, | too. I told her to get busy and write four acceptable letters to The Journal, send Ift.l'l to Miss Thomas and. lo! the pin would ue> hers. She is n school teacher \lrom another county and bas more letters to write home than she has time to spend that way. J. 8. F.. you are not brave one bit. That girl expected to eee you at the fair. Why didn't vou come? You have me in a scrap.*, for •he' will marry the widower and six chil dren. Then I know you will be sorry. I think she slighted him for you, and you did not worth a eent. I am reading a very pretty story in a monthly magazine. I know just exactly bow it will end; they will get married and live happi ly tbereafer. as they always do in stories. ' Now. kind readers, don't understand me to In innate tuere is no happiness in real life. I euu't mean that at all. but I do say you don’t come across it every day. Just a few days a<<* a yonng man not many miles from here killed his father for abusing his mother. i don't suppose the poor woman bas bad any pleas ure since ,*he married him. I hope now sin will proceed to enjoy herself, and the son who I protected his mother will not be punished. You i could not get 12 men to convict that boy. b« - j <-ause all men have bad mothers, and It will , be « case of put yourself m his place, and . what man with one spark of manhood would I stand by and see his mother abused? Opal, please accept my congratulations. May , your married life prove to be one of liappl- peas. I ,-a« something this morning that attracted ine very much—five beautiful red birds slttiug on tbe Hc-jpperuong arbor; they certainly were go*id to look at. I have stopped lots of times since I com menced this letter; have bad several to vis!’ me and that brown-eyed baby Is constantly calling on "mammy” to do something for him. | 1 will close, wishing for Mias Thomas, the Hourehcld and every reader of The Journal a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

HffICER IS HOHLEO FROM SEfiBOARD IRHIN The conductor of the north hound Sea board train Tuesday morning came in • late because he was farced to back his train a distance of several miles to pick up a passenger, who had been hurled from the back platform by a sudden jerk of the train. The passenger was George Cook, a con tractor of Asheville. N. C.. and lies at the Grady hospital. suffering from bruises about the head and serious in ternal injuries. Cook, who was en route from Thomas ville >to Atlanta, went out on the back platform. He was standing near the steps j when a sudden increase in the speed of the train threw him off the platform and down a steep embankment over which I the rails were laid. j Had it not been for a fellow-passenger, ; who saw Cook leave the train, it woulu • have pulled into Atlanta without the un fortunate man.

He was found lying 'n an unconscious condition at the foot of j the embankment. i The Grady hospital was wired about 'the accident and its ambulance met the 'train as it pulled into Atlanta. Cook will I recover from his injuries. The accident accurred about 18 miles out of the city j limits.

The holiday business of the Southern Express company is on in earnest now and is taxing the facilities of this great parcel-carrving organization. In fact, the officials of the express company declare that their business be gan to show big improvement along about the date of the recent horse show and that it has increased in volume wiih each ■ passing day. until the car capacity, storage rooms and teams can hardly cope xfrith the situation. Monday morning Capt. W. W. Hulbert, of the express company, called at the of fice of Mayor Maddox and recured per mits to make deliveries of freight on the Sunday preceding and that succeeding Christmas day. He stated that the bus iness was unprecedented at the Atlanta office and indicated that the country was again prosperous and that Atlanta was steadily growing. Captain Hulbert stated that the outgo ing business wa* equally as heavy as the Incoming. He declared that those who wished to receive prompt attention had better get their packages in the of fice at once. Th** branch of the company which gives exclusive attention to the handling of in coming liquor shipments i« being beseig ed by large crowds who placed their or ders early. This office is stampeded alj most every hour of the day by those who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their "Christmas cheer.” ADVICE TO SHIPPERS. The express company has compiled a list of suggestions for the benefit of the public. These suggestions contain much valuable advice on the subject of ship ping packages. They are: Ship your packages early that they may get to destination and be delivered to the consignee in ample time for Christ mas. Send a. postal card notice to the consignee ad rising the date of shipment of the package. Use wooden boxes for packing—it may cost a few cents more, but the danger of loss or damage Is very much reduced. Write the address in full on the box with ink or crayon—tags are frequently torn off and lost. When packages are sent to a city tlie street and number should always be shown, no matter how prominent or well known the consignee may be. When it is sent to a small town the county should | also be named, so that if there are two towns of the same name in one state no mistake can be made. Do not mark anything witli card marks tacked on—they are easily rubbed off. Insist upon a receipt and see that the amount paid is on the receipt and the value of the package declared thereon. Write your own address in full in the j lower left hand cornet of the package and inclose a card in the package bearing your address that you may be notified in the event of loss of consignee's address. Use strong wrapping paper—not news paper—if not convenient to ship in boxes, and tie with a strong cord. If the package contains anything of a perishable nature write the word "perish , able" in large letters on the box to insure j special attention for its delivery. Memember that glass will not carry without breakage unless properly packed. If you sedid a jar of preserves in a pack ! age of nice dress goods and the jar ; breaks, you will spoil your goods. Do not put any money or valuables whatever In a freight package. The way to ship money is to put it in a by itself and take a money receipt for it. I Otherwise the express companies are not liable. If the above suggestions are observed by all it will greatly assist in assuring prompt delivery of your Christmas pres ents in good condition.
