Death of Aged Citizen.
Mr. John Scruggs, of the Ousley
neighborhood, died yesterday after
noon. at the age of OR yenrs. He was
the oldest man In I<owndes county and
wns 111 good health up to n short while
ngo when he suffered a fall which kept
hltn confined to his bed until his denth.
He was liorn nnd reared In Kereven
county, but hnd lived In this county for
the past sixty years. He wns the
father of Messrs. Jesse and Charles
Scruggs, Mrs. Ousley of Texas, Mrs.
W. 11. Rrynnt and Mrs. MeOautey of
this county. He wns able to read
of land In Florida, amounting to about
$22,000 after all of the expenses had
been paid, besides probably $10,000 in
suit This case was In the hands of a
board of arbitrators, who rendered
decision in favor of Harrell. They also
decided that he was entitled to an
equal division of any other profits that
might hereafter accrue from this sale
of Und.
The case was In which Harrell, then
residing In New York, sent a customer
to Hmlth. who was in Florida. Harrell
claimed that he furnished the custom
er and was to get half of the profits.
Smith claimed that he hnd all of the
work to do nnd that he was entitled to
nil of the profls except a commission
of 10 per cent, or such a matter, as was
usual In such cases. The decision of
the hoard of arbitrators was made the
Judgment of the court, and so the mat
ter Is settled.

How to Carve the^Turkey
Insert the carving fork at the small
end of the breastbone, plunging It down
so as to gain good command. First
cut off the leg with the second Joint;
then the wing on the side farthest
from you. Tip the turkey from you
and take off the leg and wing from the
side toward you. Next carve thin
slices fr9m each side of the breasts
then remove the wishbone from the
carcass. Cut through the ribs, first on
one side then on the other. With a
quick turn of the knife divide the
front or breast from the back of tho
carcass. Now remove the fork, which
has not been withdrawn from first ta
last. Divide the second Joint from
the drumsticks, and make two pieces
of each. Then divide the back, lowen
and upper half, at the second rib Joint,
The turkey is now ready for serving.
