A SCRAP OP HISTORY.
One of the FIrtt Attractions Americas
Knew—The Old Settlement "Across
the Branch.**
In 1870 there were very fow bouses
“across the branch," os they used to
call Brooklyn Heights—only thirteen all
told—but since that time the population
has steadily Increased until there Is no
portion of tbo town that can boast of
liner or more convenient homes than
those who live there now.
The first house built in this portion of
the city was the Stanford place,; which
was settled by Mr. Hubbard. The next
built was the liouso that Col. J. L. Ad-
dorton now lives in, which was erected
by his father-in-law, Judge Guerry.
Next was the Gibson house, known as
the Patterson place; then Col. Daven
port’s residence lot was cleared up and
settled by John T. McCrary, from whom
Col. Davenport purchased it and built
the residence he cow occupies. Mr,
Robert Hodge then started the Dr. Black
house, from whom the Doctor purchased
it in 1857, and completed the building,
which was then the finest residence in
this portion of the state.
The Doctor, being well blessed with
this world’s goods, wanted something to
occupy bis time, and observing snob a
lovely place formed by nature along the
hillside for a fish-pond, he went to work
and soon had ono of the prettiest ponds
you ever laid eyes on. For thirty years
this was a public resort, and every Sun
day afternoon you would see the people
from town crowding around the place,
watching the hundreds of fish following
the visitors around the edge of the pond
eagerly waiting to he fed.
Later the Doctor built four moro
ponds, and tenderly watched over them
until he waa compelled to break them
by the oily council two yean ago.
Near thla flab pond waa located a still,
owned and operated by Mr. John It.
Worrell who waa well-known In tbla
city. Thousands of gallons of corn and
rye liquor have been made thero, bo-
sides thousands of gallons of poach and
apple brandy, blackberry brandy, and
sorghum whisky by the wholesale.
During the war, Dr. Black wanted to
send something to the soldiers in the
army, and after paoking up several largo
boxes of provisions, ote., the idea oc
curred 10 him to Bond a few gallons of
this sorghum whiskoy. He shipped
about twenty gallons to the membors of
Cntt's batallion. The boys received It
with many thanks, and had a good time
for two weeks, and up till to-day some
of the boys call the Doctor their life pre
server, as they claim his sorghum
whisky saved their lives at a most criti
cal moment.
Another great character “over the
creek’’ was old man Riley Covington,
the fiddler, the barber, the race rider
and last the proacher. Dr. Black gave
old man Riley a home for life time and
embodied in the deed these words, “So
long as be, Riley, behaves himself and
keeps the place of a negro, he shall live
on the aforesaid property until his
death.” Ho kept his place and lived a
peaceable life, and when he died there
wore more white peopld In attendance
upon his funeral than there were ne
groes.
Cunjugal wisdom.
'She who ne'er --.nswers till her husbund
cools.
Or, If she rules him, never shows she rules”—
Is a type of wife happily becoming com
mon in theso days when women may
have good health, cheerful dispositions,
strong nerves and clear minds, simply
through the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, llefore the reputation and
use of this remedy became world-wide,
irritable, cross, nervous, debilitated
women, suffering with displacements,
hysteria, and overy female disease, wero
the rules rather than the exception.
The “Favorite Prescription” has proven
to be the key to a long and happy life—
the key which cffeotually locks out that
old array of uterine disorders, periodical
pains, weak back, prolapsus, inflamma
tion, ulceration, nervous exhaustion and
general debility. See printed guai ntee

FORTY-FIVK THOUSAND.
Is the Figure at Which the Possible Cotton
Receipts are;Estlmated.
A Times-Recordeh reporter inter
viewed Mr. Samuel McGarrah on the
possible cotton receipts of Americus,
the quality of the staple, the causo of
the present depressed prices, and other
subjects pertaining to this most impor
tant of subjects. In tho course of bis
remarks Mr. MeGarrah said,:
“I think a conservative estimate of
the possible receipts would lie 45,000,
and this will allow ample latitude. The
texture of tho staplo is unusually fine
and the season has been very propitious
for the gathering and marketing the
crop. I do not believe that over fifteen
per cent, of the entire crop remains vn
gathered. The reason of the shrinkage
in prices is that the port receipts have
been exceptionally large, over-stocking
the markets and malting the supply ex
ceed the demand. Tho farmers were
prevailed on last year to hold back their
cotton which they, In a good measure
did, and which was crowded In tho mar
ket at the first of this season. In Ameri
cas tho general tone of the cotton mar
ket has been about as steady as else
where and the fluctuations havo not
amounted to anything. Cotton in my
opinion will climb higher in January,
which fact involves the question as to
the advisability of holding back the cot
ton that long.”
Tho cotton receipts in the last few
days are gradually tapering off and they
will before long dwindle down to sub
stantially nothing, owing to the fact
that the crop is nearly exhausted.
Tho head clerk of Smith & McNeil’s
Hotel, New York, Mr. S. Waddell, makes
the following statement—“One bottle of
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup thoroughly cur
ed me of a severe, long-standing cough
and cold. I take pleasuro in recom
mending it to all so afflicted.”
Some people cannot say what they
think. They haven’t got sense enough.
Science In Bread Making.
At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held In
Washington, D. C., tho question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a leav
ening agent in bread, or as used in bak
ing powders, came up for discussion, in
which Prof. Barker, of tho University of
Pennsylvania, and President of the Soci
ety; Dr. Richardson, late of the United
States Department -of Agriculture In
Washington; Dr. William McMurrie, late
Professor of Chemistry in the Universi
ty of Illinois; Dr. E. H. Bartley, late
Chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Board
of Health, and Professor of Chemistry of
the Long Island College, and others,
took part
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia. It was stated as a fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the flour
moro soluble than the original gluten,
and that the bread in which this action
was produced by carbonate of ammonia
must be more digestible and hence more
healthful, and because of the extreme
volatility o( carbonate of ammonia and
Us complete expulsion from the bread in
tbo process of baking, It is one of the
most useful, most healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by
the very elaborate and exhaustive expe
riments mado by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of
the University of Virginia, which show
conclusively that bread made with a
baking powder in which ono per cent,
of carbonate of ammonia Is used, in con
nection with cream of tartar and soda,
is not only of uniformly better color and
texture, but a product more wholesome,
because the ammonia serves to neutra
lize any organio or lactic acids present in
tho flour.
