OLD SOUTHERN RECIPE.
Here is a recipe for the famous ap
ple bread that was served with duck
in the days before the civil war. Rub
through a pound of sifted and warmed
‘bread flour two-thirds of a cup of but
ter and three heaping tablespoonfuls
sugar. Dissolve half a compressed
yeast cake in a cup of milk tnat has
‘been scalded and cooled to lukewarm.
Add to the flour and mix to a stiff
batter. Add again three eggs well
beaten and beat the batter till it
blisters. It needs be very stiff. Cov
er and let rise overnight in a warm
place. In the morning it should be
nearly doubled in bulk.
Divide in two portions and roll out
in cakes about half an inch thick.
Spread one with rather tart apple
sauce, cover with the other and let
rise together about half an hour, then
bake in a moderate over until well
done.
As soon as taken from the oven
spread with more well cooked and
sweetened apple sauce, dredge lightly
with sugar, sprinkle with nutmeg or
cinnamon and set back in the oven
long enough for the sugar to melt,
Serve hot.—Washington Star.

Beavers have been accumulating In
the State to such an extent that they
have destroyed preperty in some
instances and the owners of th},- pro
perty have had to apply to the game
commissioners’ office for permits to
kiil them.
Anthony Sneeve, a wealthy cattle
man, living fifteen miles up Brush
Creek from Gypsum, Col., secured a
permit recently and brought in ten
hides a few days ago. He built a half
mile fence from quaking asps last
fall cn one portion of his ranch, but
wne winter being long the beavers’
supply of food ran out. They sallied
forth and found that fence a tempting
morsel. Every post was cut off close
to the ground and the beavers then
cut the rails into short lengths, stow
ing those in their huts until they
were ready to eat the bark. Then
they carried the wood out and float
ed it down stream.

on her place. She planted a hand

Albany, Ga.—Should the condition
of the cotton market early in the
season not be such as to cause the
farmers of south Georgia to desire
to sell their cotton they will be in
position to hold practically as much
of the crop as they please until mar
ket conditions improve. Never in the
history of this section since the eivil
war has the financial condition of the
farmers been Dbetter than now, and
as a class they are in an exceedingly
optimistic frame of mind. sis
One thing which will have a potent
part in rendering the farmers -com
paratvely independent during the com
ing fall will be the size of food cropk.
Without a doubt, southwest Georgta
is producing this year the greatest
crop of corn in the section’s history.
Not only has the acreage been greatg'
increased over preceding years, -'bg‘t

WITH THE LAWMAKERS,
An interesting fight was waged in
the senate over the hill by Senator
Sellers of the third, which proposed
an amendment to the state constitut
ion permitting the general assembly
to exempt from taxation agricultural
products in the hands of the producer.
The bill received 29 votes, lacking
only a single vote of passing the sen
ate, a two-third majority being re
quired in the case of constitutional
amendments. The president’s favor
able vote would have passed the mea
sure, but as he was opposed to it, he
did not vote.
The senate, after considerable dis
cussion, passed the resolution by Sena
tor Mathews proposing the appoint
ment of a joint committee of three
from the senate and five from the
house to make investigation into the
tax laws of the state and report such
proposed legislation as will bring more
full ard complete returns of proper

The house approved the bill allow

transportation to policemen and fire
men, but extended the provisions of

| The Verdict.
~ “A lawyer from New Orleans told
me abhout a jury trial in a little ob
scure village somewhere in Louisi
ana, OC. course, I don't know Just
how true the story may be, but he
looked to me like a specimen of the
‘ eminently truthful sort. Strange as
it may seem, the jury in this trial
was made up entirely of negroes. It
geems that all the available white
men were either at work or had gone
hunting or fishing. And, anyway, it
being a case of one negro charged
with stealing from another, the in.
terest of the white people of the
plece, of whom there was a conspicu
ous minority, was not sufficlently in
volved for it to make any difference.
“When the evidence was all in and
the prosecuting attorney, a white
man, of course, had submitted the
case without argurflent—the accused
fortunately, had no counsel—the
judge, also a white man, ordered the
jury, which cbuld not agree in the
box, to retire to an adjoining room
and find a verdict.
- *"The jury retired. An hour passed
and still no verdict. At last the judge
could stand it no longer and went in
pe'rson to see what was delaying the
verdict. -He found each of the jury
men crawling around on the floor,
peering under chairg and tables and
also into corners. The court was
- amazed. He di¢ not.know whether
the whole juny had gone crazy or
what was the matter.
* “‘Here!" 'he thundered, ‘What are
you doing? .
. “The foreman arose and making
humble obeisance, answered:
“ ‘Yo' Honoh, taint no use; we jes’
kaint find no vuddict in dis hera
room. TFact is, yo Honah, ' I dean

Farmer's Rat Exterminator. '
Rigdon Johnson, a farmer living
‘near New Harmony, has a rat ex
terminator which he says ‘beats a
whole pack of rat dogs. Mr. John
son’s rat exterminator is a chicken
snake about six feet long, and it has
taken refuge in the barn and gran
aries on the farm. All the year it
wages incessant war on the rats and
mice about the place, and as a re
-sult of the snake’s strict attention
to business Mr. Johnson says he
hasn’t a rat or mouse on his 260
cres of land. He says he never has
~glven instructions to miempers of nis
family not to injure or molest the
snake in any way, and intends to
allow it to make its home or his
farm as long as it cares to remain.
A chicken snake is not a thing of
beauty and appeargs to be a vicious
reptile. It is a black snake with
white spots covering the back.—2Mt,

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important ques
tion of coffee, whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
alls and approaching fixed disease,
one should make a test of 10 days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum,
If relief followsg you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. Of course you can
take it back to your heart again, if
you like to keep sick.
A lady says: ‘‘l had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since I
was a little child, for my people were
always great coffee drinkers and let
us children shave all we wanted. I
got so I thought I could not live
without coffee, but I would not ac
knowledge that it caused my suffer
ing.
“Then I read so many articles
about Postum that I decided to give
it a fair trial. 1 had not used it two
weeks in place of coffee until I began
to feel like a different person. 'The
headaches and nervousness disap
peared, and whereas I used to be gick
two or three days out of a week while
drinking coffee I am now well and
strong and sturdy seven days a week,
thanks to Postum.
“T had been using Postum three
months and had never bheen sick a
day when I thought I would experi
ment and see if it really was coffee
that caused the trouble, so I hegan to
drink coffee again, and inside of a
week I had a sick spell. I was so ill
I was soon convinced *that coffee was
the cause of all my misery, and I
went back to Postum, with the result
that I was soon well and strong again
and determined to stick to Postum
and leave coffee alone in the future.”
