Volume 18
In Memory of Mrs. Coleman
Some years ago God smiled
upon the home of Henry Messer,
and Margaret Messer, and lent
them a little girl, Christened,
Emma Messer. This little girl
grew and waxed strong, and fin
ally became the wife of Req.W. C
Coleman; and thay were blessed
with four children, three girls
and one boy. The girls, Janie,
Mae and Leasy, the boy, Robert.
This husband and father and
children loved and honored the
said Emma Coleman and it looked
as if she was destined for a long
and useful life, but God saw that
she had perfortned her mission
here and on the 27th of October,
1930, He spoke to her and called
her home. She just smiled and
told loved ones good-bye and
went to Jesus. Such a beautiful
*and useful life and the sweetest
Y of deaths. In fact, she is not dead,
“she is asleep in Jesus.”
She leaves the children named
herein and a worthy and devou t
husband and minister of the gos
pel in the person of Rev. W.C.
Coleman of this county. She also
leaves her mother, Mrs. Margaret
Messer, who makes her home
with Mrs. W.W. Gilder, near
town;and three sisters,Mrs.W.W
Gilddr, Mrs. Virgil Coleman
and Mrs. Gallie Miller, all of
Wheeler county and among our
best and truest citizens.
This good woman was laid to
rest in the Dorsey cemetery the
day following her death by the
side of her good father and there
will await the coming of all those
near and dear to them till Jesus
■comes to call them all “Up High
er ”, Many friends paid
the last respect to the memory
of this good woman and placed
flowers on her grave and bathed
their faces in heartfelt tears over
her untimely going away. It
see ms hard for such a good wom
en to leave us, really in the midst
of useful lives and when it ap
pears that they are needed the
most, but we must not complain
for "our God is too wise to make
a mistake and too good to be un
kind”. It is hardly understanda
ble, but "Some Day” we will un
derstand it all. God had need of
his precious jewel and he called
her home. We must all so live
^ill we will some day join her in
Heavenly Regions beyond
the sky wh^re the soul doth
never die.
This good woman’s funeral
was preached by Rev. Dan Car
ter Hazlehurst, Georgja amidst a
large crowd of sorrowing friends

Many Places of Business
to Change Locations
There will be several changes
in business locations in Alamo
the first of the year, and having
taken place during the past week.
The Hub store, locating here
this fall, returned to Hazelehurst
last week to again locate in bus
iness. The City Barber shop, lo
cated on the south side of the
railroad for a number of years,
moved last week to the building
on the north side of the railroad,
formerly occupied by the City
Market. O.P. Hartley expects to
move his dry goods to the W.G.
Hu tley store, and his grocery
business will occupy the liltletin
store, next to Peebles Pharmacy.

and relatives and he did his part
well. The life of this dear woman
in a great sermon to all in pure
living, such as was expected of
Caesar’s wife, '.above suspicion”.
She is at rest in the family bury
ing ground near Alamo, and all
who knew her will truly tell, that
she went to Heaven and not to
Hell. Her life and acts in life
were as pure as the drifted snow
and her robes now are just as
her life was. She will never die
in the memory of those who loved
and knew her best. She joined
the Church of the Living God
early in life and remained true
and loyal to its tenents till her
sad going away. Where there
was any good to be done she was
there, and with her accustomed
smile, and a face shining as an
angels, and drew every one to
her way of living all that were so
fortunate to know her in life.
The same can be said of this
pure Christian as was said by
Charles Dickens about beloved
Nell. “A Sweeter Life Never ex
isted” Robert Louis Stevenson
said, “ I know what pleasure is,
for I have done good work”. The
recipe for self confidence is: Do
good work. Emerson says, "Cour
age comes from having done the
things before. "A man who does
good work does not have to ex
plain,’apologize or talk-his work
speaks. Snch is the case with
this Departed Saint, her life
speaks and will speak through
out all time. The life of such a
woman is an honor to her loved
ones and to the county where
she sleeps. Sleeps on, my Sister,
we’ll be with you by and by.

Let the Children Eat
Their^ Way_ to Health

By JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON
Director, Home Economics Dept..
H. J. Heinz Company.
SURPRISING as It may seem to
us here In America, neither
wheat nor corn—but rice—is the
world’s most popular grain. Near
ly three-fourths of the population
on this planet depends principally
upon rice for its cereal food re
quirements. And this healthful,
sustaining item of diet now i;
made available in even more deli
cious form throughout our coun
try.
Toasted In crisp, crunchy flakes,
rice can be served not only with
fresh fruits and rich milk for
breakfast and supper, but also
may be used in many other novel
ways that bring its gentle rough
age and bulk to help establish
regular health habits for the en
tire family—and more partic
ularly among the children.
As an example of the new pos
sibilities in these delicious rice
flakes, just see how greatly they
will add to the flavor of your next
meat loaf. Baked tomatoes, too,
when stuffed with cheese and rice
flakes, are substantial enough to
form the main dish for luncheon
or to replace a vegetable for din
ner.
Below will be found a number
of attractive recipes for making
use of rice flakes. Try them and
see how they will suggest many
other ways for introducing this
delicious healthful food into your
daily meals!
Beef Roaf : To 2 pounds ground
beef and 1 pound ground pork,
add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
Sauce, 1 onion minced finely, and
1 chopped green pepper. Add 2
cups .Rice flakes and 2 slightly
beaten eggs. Season with salt and
pepper, form into a loaf—or two
small loaves —and bake in a well
greased pan in a moderate oven.
During the baking, baste with %
cup of water to which has been
added % cup Tomato Ketchup.
This makes a moist, well flavored
loaf.

MORE and more foods are being
“vacuum packed” by ths can
ners, and now it’s corn. The
whole kernels so packed are pro
cessed dry (no liquid in the can),
and the resulting product dupli
cates corn on the cob as to flavor,
tenderness and appearance. It
can be used in all the ways in
which the better known cream
style corn is served, and also com
bined with many other foods. Try,
for instance, this recipe for
Indian Corn: Dice one green
pepper and sautd with two table
spoons butter until golden brown.

one-eighth teaspoon pepper, a can
of vacuum-packed corn, one-half
cup milk, and two eggs, slightly

added if desired.) Pack this filling as
tightly as possible into each tomato.
Place in a casserole with a little water
and bake in a moderate oven until done
■(about 30 minutes).
For Breading Chops, Cro
quettes and Fish : Crumble Rice

or cracker crumbs. The Rico
Flakes give an excellent brown
color and a desirable crispness

’Serve berries, peaches, or ice
cream, meringue shells make a
most attractive and particularly
good dessert. Serve these at your
next party filled with berries, or
berries topped with ice-cream.
Meringue Shells: 4
whites stiffly,
and gently fold In 1 cup granulated
eugar, ‘4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup
P.ler Flakes. Drop by tablespoonfuls on
a sheet of waxed paper In a baking pan,
end bake in a slow oven (about 270 de

h-own and crisp. This will take from
<0 to 50 minutes, depending on the site
of the meringues. When baked, take
from the oven and lift from the paper

dozen shells.
Children always long for sweets
and the type of confection given
them should be carefully chosen.
These Balls of Rice Flakes and
Peanut Butter are healthful as

folks will enjoy them as much as

A Special Recipe
Vacuum-packed corn is delicious

many people claim makes it even
a little belter.
Savory Corn: To two cups of
vacuum-packed corn add two well
beaten eggs, two tablespoons
chopped green pepper or pimiento,
two tablespoons melted butter,
three-fourths cup milk; salt and

amount of grated cheese. Bake
in moderate oven until set and

SKILLET BISCUIT
There are two kinds of camp cook
ing—that which one enjoys simply
because one is ravenous from the
fresh air and exercise, and that which
wins favorite favor on its own merit
and would be just as delectab.t served
in the home. In the latter class un
doubtedly falls skillet biscuit, which

•IO to
ill OP
Girls love to make "skillet biscuits”
with a self-rising flour when out camp
ing. It's fun to “flop” them. It’s also
fun to make them with a prepared
flour which is so easily handled out
of doors.
is so quickly made that the most Im
patient appetite can wait upon It and
so simple that even the amateur camp
cook can achieve success. Another
point In its favor is the fewness of
the ingredients and utensils required.
Here’s all you need: three cupfuls
self-rising flour (soft wheat flour that
has the baking powder and salt al
ready properly added and blended),
three tablespoonfuls of fat and seven
eighthu of a cupful of milk. If dried,
evaporated or condensed milk is used
In place of fresh, dilute according to
the directions on the can until you
have the equivalent of seven-eighths
cupful of whdle milk.
First mix the fat and flour thorough
ly, either by cutting or rubbing. Then
add the milk and mix quickly. Roll
or cut, of if that Is not convenient,
simply drop by the spoonful on a hot,
greased skillet. When brown on one
side, flop the biscuits and brown on
the other. They must cook quickly.
This recipe will make 24 biscuits, so
let your appetites be your judge as to
how many batches you’re going to
need 1
Self-rising flour is the ideal flour
for camping purposes. Time is saved
because the baking powder and salt
are already added in proper propor
tions at the mill.

TjtRESH peaches in mid-winter, to
1 garnish our cereals and for des
sert, sounds like a dream, but for
the first time in history fruit haa
been successfully treated by a
quick-freezing process which makes
it available for the winter tabla in
all its original flavor and freshness.
The peaches that will be enjoyed
this winter promise to be the first
of a long line of new and delicious
food products for the family menu.
Two or three lumps of sugar
added to the vinegar will give a
piquant and appealing flavor to
practically all pickles.
