RURGLARS AT WORK. The stores of Mr. John B. Wil damson and Messrs. Peacock – Arrington were broken open and robbed last Monday night. The front door of Mr. William son’s store wos broken open with an a::, the money drawer broken with a short piece of buggy spring and the ax and spring were left where they were used. Between live anl six dollars m small change were taken from the drawer and a pair of No. 11 shoes from the shelves i was all thflt could he missed. j The front door of Peacock – j Arrington was broken also with an ax and the ax, which proved to be one taken from Mr. Harry Lindsay's yard, was left where used, The money drawer was broken and a few dollars, how much is .unknown, was carried off and a cheap watch taken from the show case. There were pro* ably other things stolen that cannot be missed. Suspicion points pretty clearly to parties who will proba bly be arrested. The dwelling house of Mr. Harrison XI. Holloway was entered a evv nights be fore and a trunk which sat within arms length of where Mr. Holloway was sleep ing was taken out and robbed of three hundred dollars in greenback bills and twenty dollars in silver. Whether the robberies were committed by the same i persons is yet unknown. It is quite probable however that they have some connection with each other. It is evident that the robbers were not expert burglars, the implements used in Ellaville were picked up about town and the iron safes that conta ned all the mon ey, in the stores robbed, except nickels and dimes, were not touched. MEAT SAVING. Our local farmers have been very much worried this season about their meat not saving weii. This seems queer to a Flor idian. Winters in Florida are always warmer than we have been having here tiiis season, yet we know many farmers there who save meat enough to do them and to sell every winter. Some of them unjoint, but others save the hams whole some pickle their dot k while others save by careful handling without pickle. The Commissioner of Agriculture of j 1 Georgia in response to one hundred let ters lias issued a circular to the farmers advising that meat be pickled, and gives the following recipe which he recom mends as the best. “Balt the meat down heavily while warm and let it stay twelve hours then knock off the salt and pack in water-tight barrels or boxes. To every hundred pounds of pork pour over liquid made as follows: Dissolve eight pounds of salt; one quart of molasses; four ounces of saltpetre; four c unces of soda; four ounces of cheyenne pepper, in eight gallons ot water; boil and skim till no scum and let get cold before using. Weightdown the meat so as to keep it submerged. To those who prefer the ice cure, the Com missioner recommends abundant use of ice till the animal heat is thoroughly ex tracted from the Joints, after which ap ply saltpetre; also salt in such quantities as good judgement dictates, If the ground is sufficiently cold put the meat particularly the joints, in direct commu nication with the ground. The commis sioner further reccommends that the sides be rendered into lard. THE DAVIS MEMORIAL VOLUME. Dr. J, William Jones closed on yester day a contract with B. F.
