A Good Man Panel
The beautiful gate has swung
ajar, and a beautiful life is ended.
We extend deep r.mpathy to the
sorrowing loved ones of Mr. M. K.
Dunnahoo, who was called home Fri
day night about 10 o’clock. We
understand Mr. Dunnahoo ate his
supper about 5 o’clock, as usual,
and walked out in his back yard. He
stayed a little longer than expected,
so his wife went to see about him,
and found him paralized, speechless.
All that loving hands and the doc
tors can do, was done, but his Father
had need for him in His Heavenly
Home. We are never prepared or
ready to give our loved ones up,
but the shock is not near so great
if we are sick and we can do for
them—and) we become more recon
ciled if we do all we can and still
see them suffer; but this sudden go
ing is so hard to bear. Mr. Dunna
hoo was one of our best men. He
had never had to sow wild oats and
give God the ragged end of his life.
He was always good. We have
never heard any one speak other
than well of him. A model husband,
friend, and neighbor; honest and up
right in all his dealings—done what
he could for his church and com
munity. The devotion between him
and his brothers was always notice
able, and sweet to behold. He
leaves a devoted wife, five sisters
and two brothers, and a host of
others who loved him and are sad
at his passing. His funeral was held
at Maysville Baptist church Sunday
at 2 p. m., and his body was laid to
rest at Oconee church yard at 3.30.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
THE PAST OF GEORGIA
1. Georgia was settled in 1733
by James Edward Oglethorpe.
A. Type of settlers and motives
for settlement:
(1) Poor debtors taken from En
glish prisons as the settlement was
in part a humanitarian project, de
signed to give anew chance to vic
tims of the oppressive debt laws in
existence in England.
(2) Expert military officers, sol
diers and their families as a second
motive for the establishment of the
colony was the creation of a buffer
state which would protect the En
glish colonies along the Atlantic sea
board from danger at the hands of
the Spaniards in Florida.
(3) Religious groups who came
seeking freedom from worships, out
standing among settlers of this de
scription were the Salzburgers.
(4) Adventurous pioneers from
other British settlements who were
lured by the natural wealth and the
mild climate.
(5) Negro slaves who were in
troduced early in the history of the
colony as a means of developing the
plantation system to which the ne
gro u'as better suited than white la
bor.
2. The Battle of Bloody Marsh at
which the English defeated the Span
iards was fought on St. Simon’s Is
land and was the decisive factor in
determining that Georgia (and pos
sibly all America) was to be English
rather than Spanish.
3. Georgia was one of the origin
al thirteen colonies, being the fourth
state to ratify the Constitution.
4. The steamship Savannah,
which sailed from Savannah to Liver
pool, May 20, 1819, was the first
steamship to cross any ocean.
5. Georgia deserves the credit
for the contemporary American prac
tice of providing higher learning at
public expense, having been the first
state to establish a state university.
The University of Georgia was char
tered in 1785 at which time a grant
of land was made for the purpose.
6. Georgia was the first state to
possess a chartered college for wom
en, (Wesleyan founded in Macon in
1839) and the first state to grant a
college degree to a woman (Mrs.
Catherine Brewer.)
7. The first orphanage in Amer
ica was established in Savannah by
George Whitfield, a disciple of John
Wesley, in 1741.
8. A Georgia doctor, Crawford
W. Long, discovered the use of ether
for anesthetic purposes.
9. The Girl Scout Movement of
America was founded in Savnnah by
a Georgia woman, Juliette Low.
10. Georgia was the first state to
plant cotton for commercial use
(laid the basis for the whole econom
ic structure of the south.)
11. The cotton gin was invented
by Eli Whitney in Georgia.
12. The process by which cotton
seed oil could be made from the pre
viously discarded cotton seed was
perfected by Launcelot Johnstone, a
Georgian. -
13. Georgia was the first state to
diversify agriculture scientifically
and won first prize for this at the
St. Louis Exposition.
14. Georgia had the first agricul
tural experiment station at Savannah
in 1735.
15. Georgia was the first to pass
a “Married Woman’s Act” giving
wives the right to own and control
property (1866).
16. The R. F. D. system of the
United States is the evolution of a
plan proposed by a Georgian, Tom
Watson, who was author of the Ru
ral Free Delivery Bill.

JERRY WAS TOO SENSITIVE
E. W. (Ed) Howe, “The Sage of
Potato Hill,” told this in his remi
ninscences, “Plain People”:
An Atchison man named Jerry
Shackelford was asked by his wife
to get an armful of oven wood. She
was baking. He delayed going, and
his wife finally spoke to him sharply,
as her bread was ready to bake.
Jerry was very sensitive, and the re
proof made him so made that he
went out of the house, and for fif
teen years nothing was heard of
him. His wife continued living in
the old house.
One cold, blustery night, as Mrs.
Shackelford sat with her feet in the
oven of the cookstove, to keep them
warm, the front door opened, and
Jerry walked in carrying an armful
of oven wood, which he deposited
behind the cookstove. Mrs. Shack
elford was glad to see her husband
and welcomed the chance to make
up, but she thought she should in
some way indicate that his absence
had been unusual and improper, so
she said:
“Well, I will say you have been a
long time about it.”
That made Jerry mad again, he
was so sensitive, so he went out of
the house, and has never been heard
of from that day to this.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
A TOUCH of spice makes many
things nice. And it does more
than that, it makes many things
so palatable that it simplifies the
task of the housewife in introduc
ing that variety into the diet
which all nutritionists recommend.
Such a dish as Baked Pineapple
and Rhubarb, for instance, would
be hard to sell to your family with
out the addition of cinnamon and
cloves. And what would Peach
Rice Pudding or Apple Cup Cus
tards taste like without a touch
of nutmeg? And how could Pear
and Cranberry Salad or Pineapple-
Ginger Mousse get along without
a little ginger?
Decide for Yourself
The only way to answer defi
nitely these rhetorical questions is
to try some of these dishes for
yourself, with and without the
spices. But we recommend that
yon try them first as a good dieti
tian devised them, and then you’ll
J|
never dream of omitting the spice.
The first is
Baked Pineapple and Rhubarb:
Cut six cups rhubarb, unpeeled, in
small pieces. Put in a baking dish
with one cup sugar, ten cloves,
one-eighth teaspoon cinnamon and
one cup pineapple syrup. Cover
and bake till tender at 375 degrees
for about half an hour. Serve
with some simple cake, such
as sponge cake. Serves eight.
Nutmeg Makes All the Difference
Peach Rice Pudding: Mix to
gether one and a half cups boiled
THUMDAY. NOVa, Rr I
rice, one-third cup sugar and one
fourth teaspoon nutmeg. Add the
contents of a 1-pound can sliced
peaches, cut in pieces, and enough
peach syrup to just moisten. Pour
into a buttered baking dish, dot
with one tablespoon butter, and
bake in a moderate oven —350 to
375 degrees—for about twenty-five
minutes. Serve warm or cold with
thin cream flavored with nutmeg.
Serves six.
Apple Cup Custards: Beat three
egg yolks slightly, and add one
fourth cup sugar, one tablespoon
lemon juice, the contents of a No.
2 can apple sauce, three-fourths
cup milk and one-eighth teaspoon
nutmeg. Fold in three stiffly
beaten egg whites, pour into cus
tard cups and sprinkle nutmeg
over top. Set in hot water and
bake in a slow —325 degree—oven
for about forty minutes or until
set. Serve cold. Serves eight.
These Have Ginger
Pear and Cranberry Salad : Re
move peeling; from three ripe
pears, cut in halves and scoop out
the core. Place in lettuce leaves.
Mash one cream cheese and three
tablespoons canned cranberry
sauce, and then cream them to
gether until very smooth. Add a
few grains salt, and pipe this mix
ture around the edge of the pear
halves. Fill the center with Cream
mayonnaise and sprinkle with
chopped preserved ginger. Makes
six.
Pineapple-Ginger Mousse: Soak
one teaspoon gelatin in two table
spoons cold water, then dissolve
in one cup hot crushed pineapple.
Add one-fourth cup sugar and one
fourth cup chopped candied gin
ger, and allow to cool. Fold in two
cups cream, beaten, pour into
ered molds and pack in ice and
salt for four hours. Serves six
to eight.* ®
