ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING JANUARY 26, 1892
A cream of tartar baking powder—Highest of
all in leavening strength.—
Zalest V. S. Gov’t Food Tteport.
ABSOLUTELY PURE.
Established by Government Tests the Standard Baking Pow
der. The very Giant of leavening agents. Has a larger use
than all other cream of tartar baking powders combined.
Prof. Haines, of Rush Medical College, Consulting Chemist Chi
cago Board of Health: “ I find the Royal Baking Powder superior
to all the others in every respect.”
Dr. H. A. MOTT, U. S. Government Chemist: “ The Royal is
undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made.”
Prof. Palmer, University of Illinois: “I find Royal Baking
Powder invariably composed of wholesome ingredients, entirely
free from adulteration or impurities of any kind.”
San Francisco Board of Health: “ In our judgment it is
impossible to make a purer or stronger baking powder than the
Royal.”
1 The N. Y. State Analyst : “ The Royal Baking Powder is
superior to any other powder which I have examined.”
The Minnesota State Chemist: “I consider the Royal one
of tne best baking powders made.”
Wisconsin Food Commissioner: “Royal Baking Powder is
of high and uniform strength and quality; its ingredients pure and
wholesome.”
Indiana State Chemist : “ Royal Baking Powder is perfectly
free from any deleterious or injurious substance.”
Avoid all baking powders that require larger
cans than the Royal to hold an equal weight.
This is sure evidence of their adulteration.

ably on Tuesday.
The citizens of Atheus were terrib y
shocked Saturday evening about seven
o’clock to learn of the .sudden death of
an old and esteemed citizen, Mr. Alex
ander M, Scudder.
Saturday morning be attended the
competitive oratorical contest in the
Demosthenian Society of the Uni
versity of Georgia, acting as
one of the judges, and as late as four
o’clock yesterday afternoon was upon
the streets, chatting pleasantly with his
friends as they passed by
About five o’clock he went to his
home and soon after complained of col
ic, and Dr. Gerdine was summoned to
his side. He was soon relieved, and Dr.
Gerdine left him apparently well.
A few minutes befoie seven o’clock
he was sitting in his room with his
wife, when be ielt cold and went to the
grate to punch the fire. He then lay
down on a lounge to rest. A few
minutes later he complained
of the same trouble and
started toward the fire. Before
taking many steps he fell to the floor,
and in a few moments expired.
Death came to him suddenly, hut it
found him ready. It was but the clos
ing scene, the falling curtain in the
great drama of life, in which he had
acted bis part nobly and well.
Mr. Scudder was a graduate of
Princeton college, and before leaving
taught for several years there as a tu
tor. Over forty years ago, he came to
Athens, and for a few years wss a tutor
in the University of Georgia. He then
establised a private academy and since
that time has aotively
engaged in teaching young men, hav
ing a class of boys up to the day of his
death. He was also agent here for the
North western Life Insurance Com
pany
Mr. Sondder was seventy-two years of
age and his life had been one of close
devotion to the Presbyterian church, of
which he had been a member for many
long years. For quite a long time he
had been one of the Elders of the Pres
byterian church of thiB city, and Dr.
Lane says that he attended the meetings
of synods more regularly and Jcnew
more about the rules of the church than
any other member here.
Mr. Scudder leaves a wife and three
children tojmoorn bis death, Mrs. J.
M. Edwards, of Memphis, Mrs. N. Keff
Smith, and Mr. Charles A. Scudder, all
of whom have been telegraphed. Mr.
C. A. Scudder recently married, was
on his bridal trip, but was informed of
his sad bereavement while in Sayannah.
• No definite time has been set for the
funeral, but it will not occur before
Tuesday. In the death of Mr. Scudder
the community loses a valuable and
useful citizen, and bis family a loving

Messrs. Brittain A Shepherd Failed
Yesterday.
They made a manful struggle, but the
bard times brought poor trade, and the
lack of money caused bad collections,
and aB a result they were forced to the
wall.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Wier
went to the store of Messrs. Brittain &
Shepherd, on Clayton street, and in his
hands he carried some papers.
They were to be used in foreclosing
upon the stock of goods, and in a short
while the store was in tbe bands of tbe
receiver.
Tbe mortgage foreclosed was one for
$2,000 in favor of tbe Exchange Bank.
There were other mortgages amounting
to about tbree thousand dollars.
Mr. E. jli. Johnson was appointed re
ceiver, and has taken ebat ge of tbe en
tire stock. He will sell it out as rapid
ly as possible.
The total indebtedness of tbe firm is
about $7,000, while the assets amount
to $8,000 to $9,000.
Tbe reasons assigned for the failure
are poor collections and
poor trade, which made paying out im
possible.
Both Messrs. Brittain and Shepberd
are young men of boundless energy and
sterling merit, and a little backset like
this will not keep them down.
They will simply put on more de'
urination and try it again, and they
will win. They are among our clever
est citizens, and have the best wishes of
all tbe people in their undertakings.

A Thief Tries to Steal a Chicken and

- It’s mighty seldom you find a thief
outwitted in bis game.
But an East Athens thief got left Fri
day night in royal stylo.
Mr. D. M. Aaron runs a store in
East Athens. On Friday night he was
awakened by the noise of bis chickens
beneath his house. He reasoned to
himself that there was a thief under
there at his thievish work.
He arose, seized his pistol and walked
out just as tbe thief, who bad heard
him coming, was receding in the dark
ness.
He fired at the thief 'and was fired at
in return. Several shots were inter
changed when the rogue vanished out
of sight.
Yesterday morning one of Mr. Aa
ron’s little boys was crawling around
under tbe house and fo und a silver dol
lar lying od the ground.
The thief had been very generous,
bad taken no chickens and bad atoned
for the trouble he gave Mr. Aaron by
leaving a dollar behind him.
