The Flower Show.
The very term ii a-r show is suggestive
of som. tiling beautiful, and. knowing I
have a large numb r of t-ad-rs ''.ho are
interested in flowers, I want to t’il them
of the ••flower show,” now being held in
our city.
The w« man’s boad of tnnar- of the
Cotton Stall 1 * and Internal •’:;«! exposition,
to bi 1 held in our city next year, have been
working very h..rd to raise ir ney lor the
woman’s build ng. a very many entertain
ment* having b»s.n given with this end

Th* flower show was deckled on some
months ago. and much inter -t bt - been
taken in it. It opened as« w days ago. and
has been a perfect success. 1 wish all my
reapers had been able to attend. I
can only give y u a faint i 'ea of the Iwau
ties of the exhibit. There were uever&l
prise s offered.

that attracts the rye is one presided over

For The Constitution.
Old winter is upon us—a big white frost
this morning and Brown shivers in the
chimney corner.
Ordinarily Brown would be as frisky as
a three-year-oid on such a morning, but
the death of the czar of Russia, the war
in China, Queen Victoria’s old age, the
price of cotton and the great number of
boy children lately arrived in oir settle
i ment and billed to arrive, puts him in a
droopy mood and nothing can b> done to
cheer him. I got down the old fiddle last
night and ratled off “Sugar in the Gourd,”
“Arkansaw Traveler” and "Come Out the
Wilderness" in a lively way, but not a
smile came to his cheerless countenance.
The little grandchildren got out some wal
nuts and down on the old hearth rock they
cracked and eat and now and then some
little one would offer its grandpa some of
the goodies, but not a one wouid Brown
take and not a smile nor kind word. Noth
ing but forms of conscript officers flit
through his imagination. He fears the
signs o’s the times smack too much of war
and he can’t be kept from associating con
script officers with war, nor can he forget
how they slipped up on him in the late un
pleasantness and nothing can move him to
relax for one moment in fear of another
"slip up.”
Os course Brown Is a crank. If th“re
wer 1 to be a thousand wars no conscript
act would reach hint. I sorter agree with
him on th* signs of the times, especially
on the abundance of babies and too much
talk Inviting war as a relief for the times,
but there have no comets appeared and no
aurora boreal's. Groat people who stay in
their offices and never mingle with c mmon
folks would be surprised if they were to
go out and mix up and listen to common
folks talk. The temper of the t!im s is
growing for war, or anything tli.it promises
a change. As for me and my folks w' 1 are
cheerful anil refuse to agree to any such re
lief as war would bring. We want to re
turn to the simple ways of old times and
thnk that is all that is needed to bring
r lief. The tan trough used to be down on
the spring branch and the old r*d russet
shoes were g >od enough and one pair a
yea:- ws's all (hat was over expected by the
family. Home-made jeans for tiie males
and homespun cheeks for tin- I'emile* kept
the people warm and gave satisfaction. A
little iron, salt and ammunition for a
Christmas hunt was about the
I,eight of a. farmer’s pHrehns* when
h* went to market. Old brother Webb was
laughing yesterday about the farmers growl
ing over 5-cent cotton and told of the
first hale he sent to Augusta after he
moved to where ho now lives. There were
wagoners in those day* in dead of rr.ilroads.
and this bale of cotton he was telling of—
a good .">OO pounder—was turned ov-r to
a wagoner on his way to Augusta with in
structions to sell, buy fifty pounds »f iron
and a sack of salt, pay himself for th*
hauling ami bring what remain.’l to the
owner. Brother Webb received SI.SS upon
th* wagoner's return as th* amount left.
How would farmers now like to take fifty
pound f iron, one sack of su’t and ?4.85
for a 5l»-i>oun<l ba e of cotton? Th farmer
of this day would raise caln with such
results, yet the simplicity of old times
allowed brother W bb to salt down meat
for a year's supply, make plows for his
use, t>;iv bis (axes out of the SI.SS and carry
home from th* cross roads stpre a good
supply of ammunition and a big jug of
“mountain dew" for his Christmas frolic.
Right here in old DoKatn u. those i .ys—in
ten miles of the great city of Atlanta—a
woman dressed in calico wa* ir the iieigiit
of fashion: she was “bunton.” while an old
farmer's gnat st ambition in the matter
of dress was to be a >)•■ to wear
good jeans both sun.mer and
winter—few In that <iay could afford to

suit. Get some of the old-ttmers to tell you
of their start in life- "Germ l.llis live

taking the place where we belong. Old
“Germ" Ellis is now an independent far
mer and has turned out a worthy family;
there is no desire for war among them;
perhaps some of his progeny may be pres
ident yet; if so, they would tell that old
“Germ” carried his bride's wardrobe home
in a red bandana with as much pride as
ever Harrison referred to his grandfather’s
hat. At last it Is he or her who is strong
enough to live in accord with their means
who eventually arrive at the
top, a monument of good
sense and the envy of the foolish.
But 1 feel cheerful over the times. I wish
that everybody else did. for 1 guess that
means the “restoration of confidence” vve
have heard about. As cheerful as I am. 1
am willing for it to hurry this confidence
with all possible speed—come a bullying and
run over me and Brown rather than lose a
minute, even it we lose an arm or two or
leg or two bv the onslaught, but don’t let
us have any war and do let us change the
trend in war matters. I have my eye on
the good preachers and you know I have
joined the lawyers: in these, together with
good women, lies our hopes. 1 notice that
a judge in New York charged the grand
jury to go for any sort of gaming in the
church lust as they wouid go for it in a
poolroom or poker room. He. the judge,
and the jury have put ihe preacners on no
th e that a game of chance shall not be run
under the guise of a “church fair any
more than under any other name. Ot
course this means that the preachers and
lawyers have combined for good, at least
in New- York, and the sinful congregations
had better look out. I hope ii will spread—
this combination—f< rit used to be th:* boast
and pride of alt this country to hold up
th“ actions of pur judiciary for other lands
to look upon. Associating them with scan
dal is deplorable. They should be like Cae
sar’s wife, and I feel that it will be worked
ba< k to that. .Me and my folks and Brown
and his folks hive a specitil right to feel
kind and hopeful of the futur • of good
preachers, forth re has just ended a happy
revival in the little church mar us. It was
rath*r late for a revival, meeting, bin sick
r.rss In the pastor’s family prevented it at
the regular time ami he thought that it
was better late ’han never and so the meet
ing now. To this good pastor at Ousley
Brown indites the following:
He soars, whatever is his theme.
Too high, too good to ever scold;
He’ll rather grasp a bright sunbeam
And light a darkened soul.
Hir, words -ns soft as gentle dew,
Fall on th* erring heart
To make the sinner feel anew
And of the world a part.
Soft, but earnest—as a friend
He makes one fee! so well.
That dinners hope they may amend
And save themselves from hell.
How better is it thus to treat
The poor degraded man—
Abusing sinners may defeat
A lovely Christian plan.

MADE-OVER DIMIE*.
They Are Not to Be Despised if Non
Know the Maker.
Do not—unless you are living in a hotel
or boarding house —despise the made-over
dish! Made-over dishes have oftentimes a
spicy savor which fresh ones miss alto
gether, and stews are capable of stirring
up praise, and hash may bi- made a thing
of delicacy—delicious! A stew which is
really palatable may be made by cutting
cold meat and potatoes into cubes about
an inch square, adding a little cold toma
to and placing the whole on th* back of
the stove where it can heat slowly for an
hour or so. About half an hour before it
Is to be served it should be moved forward
on th- stove and allowed to cook briskly.
A little parsley or celery seed in a Id.tion
to the pepper and salt gives a delicious
flavor.
Croquets are another “scrap" dish which
gives one an exalted idea of the possibili
ties in scrap*. Chop any sort of cold meat
into line bits, mix with half as indfn boiled
bread milk, n little bu»ter. «alt. f -jper,
and a dash of nutmeg. Shape the croquets,
dip them into beaten egg, then into bread
or i racked crumbs and fry In boiling grease.
Scraps of bread may be utilized in various
ways. The commonest is to powder and
sift them for frying purposes. But they
may be made into bre ikf.-st griddle cakes.
Save all the pieces of white, graham and
brown bread. Scald them with b illing milk
and let them soak twenty minutes. Add a
beaten egg, a piece of butter, a pinch of
salt and just enough flour to nJ ke a bat
ter. Beat until the mixtur is smooth an 1
add a teaspoonful of baking powder. If
you ar* In-redulous, try it for y>ur-elf,
especially that stew. You will be ready to
swear by it. You will want it ut least
once every week.
Bncon tind Beans n la Creole.
Bacon and beans prepared after this style
ar- a favorite dish with little creole chil
dren, and ar* in reality very wholesome an '
palatable. Soak the beans ov r night and
cook exactly as you would po k and beans.
Remember, however, to have the bacon
in a single square piece. When it has
boiled perfectly tender, which will be tie
fore the beans, take it out. Then skim
and set aside until the beans are very
tender. Fia.e the bacon in the center of
a baking dish, drain the beans and put
them around the bacon; fill to the top of
the beaus with liquor in which they were
boiled. Bake one hour and a half or two
hours, until the liquid is nearly all ab
sorbed. Then serve hot.
Green Tonin to Soy.
The materials required are on* peck of
green tomatoes, one quart of sliced onions,
one pint of salt, half a pound of mustard
seed, half a cupful of groun I mustard, one
d zeti pepper corns, one dozen whole all
spice and on 1 quart of vinegar. NV ish the
tomatoes and cut off the sr >:s; then chop
tine. Mix the salt with them, and after
covering th? mixture let it stand in a
cool place for twenty-four hours.
At the end of that time turn it into a
colander and drain well. Now put this
mixture into the preserving kettle with
the ot'.ier ingredients, first, however, mix
ing the ground mustard with one cupful
of cold water. Cook slowly, stirring fre
quently for three hours. Pour the soy into i
pint jars and seal carefully. When cyil
put in a dark, cool place. This pickle will
keep for several months without being
sealed.
