Cusseta, April*4.—This ia a hilly and
sandy action and' the heavy rains on
March 26, 27 and 28 came near washing
us away. Nearly every well in our town
and county has caved in and water has
become an object of no little importance
with us. It has unstrung our farmers, as
their corn and fertilizers are washed away,
their lands greatly damaged and fences
gone. The timber has fallen in every di
rection and a general destruction and
waste meet you wherever you go. Why,
some of your correspondent’s see'd corn is
now in Appalachicola Bay.

that we cannot get to market.
Mr. J. W. Williams, of Buena Vista,

Wsynesboko, April 6.—The arrival of
the Macon Telegraph was delayed about
twelve hours a day for a few days last
week by the washouts on the main line of
the Central railroad, and the readers of the
paper were glad indeed when the trouble
was over and the Telegbaph reached
them by our regular afternoon mail sys
tem. The Telegraph is highly appre
ciated here, and by its present political
status, able editorials and general manage
ment has won and is winning friends.
Last evening the ladies of the Baptist

In my last article I referred to an enter

Miss Addie Oliver, one .of our charming
young ladies, and Professor William E
Davis, a handsome, intelligent and worthy
gentleman, were among the stars of the
evening. In fact, had they not aided in
the performance much would have been
wanting.
The County Conrt of Burke convened to
day, Judge H. II. Perrv presiding with

could not be found than Judge Lovett,

as a lawyer and citizen.

Lewis that the negroes had just killed the
biggest aligator that morning that was
ever seen outside of Florida, said gator be
ing more than twenty feet in length and
weighing nearly one thousand pounds.
To say that the passengers marveled at
this story would but poorly express it, and
* ith one accord the coaches were quickly
emptied, and the entire crowd, even to the
news butchers, started across a plowed
field to where the gator was said to be,
some half mile distant. Conductor Lewis
is as fat as he is handsome and popular,
and eouu began to puff and blow as he
plowed along through the hot sun, eager
as was the rest to see the gator, and his
temper was none tlie better when Clay
hallooed from a safe distance that it was
an April fool. The crowd were os re
vengeful as hornets, but the joke was on

A SCIENTIFIC FACT.
“Royal” the only Baking Powder Free from
Lime and Absolutely Pu, r e.
Lime is the serious defect found in most of the cream of
tartar baking powders. As a matter of fact, chemical analysis
has found it in all such powders except the “ Royal.” Its
presence is caused by the use of adulterated cream of tartar in
the effort to reduce their cost of production.
Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts from the strength
of the baking powder. It also renders the food loss wholesome,
giving rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Baking powders
containing liine produce less leavening gas, and therefore in use
are more expensive than a first-class, pure article.
The Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar
that is first specially refined and made chemically pure. No-
tartrate of lime or. other impurity can find its way into the
“Royal,” and to this fact its great superiority in strength, whole
someness and keeping quality is due.
All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing the
Royal Baking Powder, but as all ite ingredients are selected and
prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or
expense, an article is produced that is free from every extraneous,
substance—“absolutely pure.” Nor does it contain any ingredi
ents except those necessary to make a pure, wholesome and per
fect baking powder.
