JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1892.
PAY YOUR DEBTS.
Advise From one Who Practices
What He Preaches.
If you are owing anything,
this is the time of year to get out
of debt, because there is more
money in circulation this season
of the year than any other.
Reader, this is to you. You
know you are owing money that
ought to be paid. I know men
who are owing money for house
rent, dry goods, groceries, bor
rowed money, school tuition,
etc., that should and could be
paid at once. You may be in
debt t to some perhaps that live in
a fine house and drive a span ot
bays, but that dont lessen your
debt one mite. “Ah says some
one, “hete I am in a rented
house, at big rent, have had
sickness in my family, had bad
luck with my stock, and lam
not so very stout myself.” Let
me tell you iny friends, some of
you live in rented houses and
some of you do not, but tliere is
a way for most of you to get out
of debt if you only possess tne
right kind of heart and a deter
mination to do so. You need
not expect anything except bad
luck if you continue the course
you are now pursuing. Does
not the Bible teb us to “owe no
man anything but love?” God
will not let you enjoy life and
let your heart be at ease, though
you may be as a green bay tree
for a short while, but soon the
leaves will begin to fall and show'
what the tree is. You may say
say it is impossible for me to pay
my debts now. Let’s see.
Some of you have good land,
cow's horses, hogs, poultry, etc ;
some have not land, but they
have stock, dress nice and live
w*eli every day. Have you made
any sacrifices to *pay your debts.
Sell some of your stock, and if
you have land sell off a few acres
and settle up with your creditors.
If you don’t try every w'ay to pay
your honest debts tile chastning
rod of God will roach you some
way.
Your prospects may be flatter
ing in keeping up appearances
before the eyes of others, with
hired servants around, instead
of you and your wife doing the
work and keeping the money
you pay to servants to pay your
creditors. Perhaps the wives of
some of your creditors do their
work, dress poorly and perhaps
do without many things they
need because you wont pay what
you owe. How can you expect
your life to be crowned with suc
cess when you are using money
tnat rightfully belongs to some
one else. •
There are some that have
failed to pay their school tuition
long past due. How cn you
meet your lellow man face to
face and know that you have
withheld that which is justly due
him. How many promises have
you made and kept none ot
them? And .there is your pas
tor, you have failed to jay
towards his salary, which is as
honest a debt as you can owe.
You we pay him too much.
If you think so, have your name
taken off the church book and
go where you can listen to a fifty
dollar preacher if you like that
kind best. Don’t through sel
fishness or stinginess be a dead
head on God’s grace and the lib
erality of others. Pay your
dobts.
1 can truthfully say I owe no
man anything.—Somebody, in
Marietta Journal.

Sug-gesti'-ms for Pretty and Inex
pensive Christmas Presents.
Handiwork of Loved Ones Tar Prefer
able to Shop Gifts, No Matter How
Costly the Latter May Be— What t(
Make and How to Make It.
Christmas means to many house
holds oniv an interchange of ex
pensive, useless gifts, and not the
loving souvenirs that mean sc
much. Tiie gifts which we make
will bear the stamp of our ability
and talent, and such gifts are prized
more than those we buy T . Shop
gifts, however expensive, cannot
take the place of the handiwork of
a loved one. The trifles described
below are all inexpensive, but use
ful, and w'ill furnish suggestion
tor pretty Christmas gifts:
A PRETTY BLOTTER
has a white linen ground with a
spray of white leaves and grapes
worked in bright yellow silk, the
tendrils being done in gold thread
Avery pretty
CASE FOR POSTAL CARDS
may be made of celluloid. Cut i
piece oxl4 inches and face one end
to a depth of six inches with a
piece of the same width, cutting
tiny slits for the purpose. Turn
the other end to a line five inches
from the top, cutting slits for nar
row ribbon to be passed through.
Tie in small bows. On the pari
turned over paint in gold letters
“Postal Cards,” and decorate the
upper part with pretty design.
Make slits at the upper corners for
ribbon by which the case is sus
pended.
PHOTOGRAPH FRAME.
An octagon-shaped piece of thin
wood may be covered with white
plush or velvet and gold lace.
PRETTY BOOKMARKERS

inch wide, in orange, pink and
blue. Place the three ends together
and sew to a small brass ring.
Turn the other three ends to a
point and finish with -tiny gib
bells.
A UNIQUE MATCH HOLDER

pi pes and set between them a little
Chinese or Japanese basket, tying
them in place with narrow ribbons.
Fasten ribbons to the under side
of the basket to hang it up by.
Buy a tiny glass and' place Ya in.
basket to hold the matches.
HANDKERCHIEFS
in drawn work are quite elaborate
and very highly prized. Linen
lawn of fine quality can be had for
75 cents a yard, and one yard will
make four handkerchiefs.
A neat and inexpensive
FOOTSTOOL
may be made from a small wooden
box. Nail four square blocks of
wood on the corners next the top
and fasten castors into them. Pad
the top with excelsior covered
with two layers of wadding. Then
cover top and sides with some
pretty furniture goods, of which
you can buy remnants cheap.
Tack furniture cord over all the
seams and edges, letting it form
three tiny loops at the four top cor
ners.
BOOKS
are always acceptable gifts. A
music-roll or new music is an ap
propriate present for a musician.
Something in table linen or fancy
china will be acceptable to a young
housekeeper.
A PRETTY PINCUSHION
to hang beside the bureau or dress
ing-case is made from a strip of
birch bark 2 1-2 inches wide and 8
inches long. Roll together and
fasten firmly. Fill the roll with
cotton, wool or hair, and fasten
small cushions of plush or velvet
in each end. Tie ribbon around
each end and hang by ribbon.
Paint some pretty floral design on
the front of the roll.
A dainty little affair for holding
fancy work is made thus: Cut two
pieces of Cliiua silk (one of dark
blue for the outside and one of
pale yellow for the lining) 18 inches
square. Round one end of each
and sew the two pieces together,
Embroider pink rosebuds on the
round end. Leave a slit nine
inches long on each side at the top
to slip the work in. A wide box
plait, covered with a ribbon bow,
draws the bag together at the top.
A PRETTY AND USEFUL CASE FOB
VAILS
may be made of fine white linen.
Cut two pieces 10 inches long and
seven wide and sew them together
on three sides. Bind the edges
with white silk braid, and across
the top of the case embroider in
blue silk, “See within this dainty
case filmy-vails for thy fair face.”
To one who loves plants, noth
ing can be more appropriate as a
holiday gift than
A HANDSOME PALM.
Most of the species do better in
the window than almost anything
that can be grown, and will be
come larger and more beautiful
every year. Margaret Percy.
The new French vrille or gi’.nlet
bengalines are called Oudine silk.
Hints to Housekeepers.
—As fruit jars and jelly glasses
are emptied see that they and tbeii
tops are thoroughly washed, rinsed,
scalded and dried before they are
put away. Be sure that they are
dried before screwing on the tops.
The rubber bands might as well be
thrown away at once, as it is a
better plan to buy new ones every
year.
--Before seeding raisins pul
them in hot water for a few min
utes and the seeds will come out
easier. Then roll each raisin be
tween the thumb and finger,
pressing the seeds up to and out
of the stem end.
—lnstead of toasting bread foi
pea-soup, try drying it or roasting
it till crisp in the oven, and see
how superior it will be.
—One of the most palatable of
gruels is a combination of cream,
beef tea and barley water.
—A gargle of salt water as hot
as can be used is on of the best,
as it is one of the simplest, home
remedies for sore throat. Thai
persisted in, with a cathartic medi
cine to clear the system, will cure
almost any sore throat that is nol
diphtheritic.
—Bathing the abdomen with
alcohol is an excellent remedy foi
diarrhoea.
—All head vegetables, such as
cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce,
that are to be cooked whole, should
be immersed head downward in
cold water to free them from grit
and insects.
—Never allow meat to be placed
directly on the ice, as the watei
draws out the juices; it is even
worse to lay it there wrapped in
paper. It should always be laid
in a clean porcelain vessel.
To detect chicory in coffee pul
the powder in cold water; chicory
gives a colored infusion in the
water, whereas coffee does not,
and by the depth of the color the
proportion of chicory may be
guessed at. ,
Avery convenient mucilage can
be made of onion juice by any r one
who wishes to use it. A good
sized Spanish onion, after being
boiled a short time, will yield on
being pressed quite a large quan
tity of very adhesive fluid. This
is used quite extensively in various
trades for pasting paper on to tin
or zinc, or even glass, and the ten
acity with which it holds would
surprise any one on making the
first attempt. It is the cheapesl
and best mucilage for such pur
poses, and answers just as well as
many of the more costly and
patent cements.
Some Choice Recipes-
Cocoanut Jumbles.—One cup
of butter, 1 1-2 cups of sugar, one
egg, one teaspoon soda, one cup of
milk, one heaping cup of cocoanut,
a little nutmeg, flour to roll, cut in
square pieces and fold over the
edges, or cut in long, narrow
strips.
Indian Pudding.— Scald one
quart of milk, thicken with one
sup of meal, two eggs, one spoon
ful of flour, one cup of molasses,
salt and ginger to taste. When
Cool add one pint of cold milk; do
not stir it. Bake slowly for two
or three hours.
Plain Cake. —Take two cups
of flour, 1 1-2 of sugar, half
a cup of butter, one of cream, two
eggs,- one teaspoonful baking
powder, mixed with gpur. Put
all these ingredients iflTO a deep
dish and beat until light. It is
not necessary to beat them separ
ately, as in some other cakes.
Bake in a deep form and in a
moderately hot oyen for about half
an hour.
Macaroons. Take half a
pound of almonds, blanched and
skinned, with three or four bitter
ones among them. Pound them
fine in a mortar, with the whites
of three eggs. Add ten ounces of
sugar and stir for a quarter of an
hour. Put in little round or ob
long heaps on a sheet of white
paper, dusted over with flour.
Sprinkle sugar over the macaroons
and bake in a slow oven.
Pot Pie. —Cut veal, beef or
chicken into pieces, and put into
boiling water enough to cover,
with two slices of bacon; cover
closely, and boil an hour and season
to taste; make a batter of two
well-beaten eggs, two cups of
milk, teaspoonful of baking pow
der and flour, drop in separate
spoonfuls while boiling, and cook
five minutes; serve immediately.
