Momltrie, 6a., August 3d.—(Special.)
—The Jackson Lumber Company, op
erating a big mill near Moultrie, is in
the hands of a receiver. The mill is
owned by H. D. Jackson, of Winder,
tend liisson, W. R -Jackson. The mill
has been operated by them several
years and has been regarded as a fine
property. The petition for a receiver
was filed by the elder Jackson, and it is
understood that he had become dissat
isfied with the management of the prop
erty. The company owes nothing and
has assets anwaantiug to about $10,000.
H. D. Jackson has been made tempora
ry receiver until August 27, when a
hearing of the application' for perma
nent receiver will be had before Judge
Mitchell at ThomasviUe.

cookery book of & century ago, but the
direction to stir “always the same
way” is observed as religiously today
as it was then, and probably will be for
a thousand yean to come.
All cooks of all nations stir not only

There are many peculiar, old fash
ioned superstitions connected with
cooking. /
For instance, in Scotland, when oat
cakes are being baked, it Is still cus
tomary to break off a little piece and
throw it Into 'the fire.
At one time, whenever a baiting was
made—which was perhaps once a
month only—a cake w;as made with
nine knobs on it Each of the company
broke one-off, and. throwing It behind
