West Broad street was crowded with vehicles and pedestrians at the time of the runaway and the fact that the driver succeeded in keoping the racing steeds in the middle of the street for about a -mile thereby avoiding collisions speaks well for his horsemanship qualities and his determination to stick to his post of duty. The carriage with its occupants was returning from‘ar funeral at Laurel Grove Cemeteyfy and when it got in the neighborhood of West Broad and-Gwinnet streets the horses became frightened and bolted. The driver attempted to hold them in check, but the fiery steeds bad gottén thé bits between their teeth and were unmanage- able. When the carriage reached West Broad and Gaston streets one of the two white men who along with four women were in the carriage, detected something wrong and af- runnint#; away climbed up on the drivers seat and was assisting him. be two of them pulled on the rei ins of the racing steeds, but their c{ bmbined strength could not stop th fem. In the mean time two of the} women in the carriage at- tempt td to jump out and were seriou ly injured. Hun} dreds of persons who saw the migkd dash of the horses stood dumbiffounded and every moment expecBiied tosee the occupants of the caf}iriage dashed to death. ‘The river qt the foot of West Broad street [f‘loomed up in front of the ruzaygjay team and the question was, “| Who will stop them?” When the ‘ciflrriage reached Broughton street], there were two men stand- ing tgilking. One of them was Dave| Levi, who subsequently proyefd himself the hero of the mornij ng. Ley{i, who was accustomed to breakjing in young horses and there#fore used to their pranks, saw e runaway team coming down {ithe street. He had just time to maf'ke sure that bis eyes were not dd 3ceiving him, when the team dasbefid by in their frenzied race. Atthfis moment Levi made a dash for tifhe team and succeeded in catch¥ing them in lesss than a block#s space. He climbed upon the b)hck springs of the carriage, over || the top to the driver’s seat, wher||o he grabbed the reins from the tyWwo exhausted men. Im{jmediately upon catching the carrijhge Levi yelled, “Throw them]|1 ‘Throw them !’’ but the men could: not doso. Could Levi ac- comp}|lish this?

SOE, SE SS VCR EIS Cae of the bride’s parents, Mr. and ‘Mrs. Jackson J. Sheflield, a few miles from Everett City, Ga., a pretty but quiet wedding was sol- enmized when Miss Alice Agatha Sheflicld and Dr, Charles Felix Hoskins were united in marriage by the Rev. W. 5. Melton. The ‘ceremony was witnessed-by only a feiy friends and close relatives, a party of whom in automobiles and other vehicles, was led .from Brunswick by Dr. Hoskins in his big red forty-horse power car. The bride worea very pretty gown of white messaline satin draped with.silk chiffon trimmed with crystal fringe and rhine stones, a veil of tulle with orange blossoms, and white satin slippers adorned with rhine stone buciles. Around her neck she wore a beau- [tiful layalier of diamonds and pearls, the gift of her father. She carried in her hand a combination prayer book and hymnal duintily bound in white kid. Miss Christine Taylor of Jesup, Ga., was the maid of honor. Her costume was crepe witha sash of white satin, A pompon of lilies of the valley adorned her hair. Dr. R. N. Jack- son was best man. Mrs.R. N. dack- son had very tastefully adorned the home with white flowers and green foliage, ending with a beau- tiful arch where Dr. Hoskins, led there by Dr. Jackson, looked the picture of happiness as he received his bride, leaning on thearm of her father who met her at the foot of the stairs, whence she descended amidst a festoon of flowers and leafy clusters. After the ceremony and showers of congratulations and rice, a sumptuous and much enjoyed din- ner was served. Then the friends and relatives present returned to their respective homes, believing the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Hos- kins destined to be the happiest of unions, especially in consideration of the general equanimity of their respective dispositionsand the rery high} standard of character by which they are justly and popu- larly known. Though an heiress of avery large estate, Mrs, Hos- kins, in keeping with her unusual intelligence and business tact, is always very gentle and unpreten- tious. Dr. Hoskins is fortunate indeed in having for his helpmate one who by her gentle and kindly nature will win friends for him and by her intelligence and busi- ness ability will help forward his splendid dental practice, the won derful success of which has not in the least marred his straightfor- ward manliness, his unassuming ways, nor his jovial nature. Dr. and Mrs. Hoskins arrived in in Branswick on Monday morning, Sept. 22d, and will live at 1410 Wolf street. On Monday night, Dr. and Mrs. R.N. Jackson entertained for the bride and groom ut their well ap- pointed home, 1506 Albany street, Brunswick. Whist, dancing, re- freshments, and bubbling convivi- ality made the hours pass by like seconds. Dr. and Mrs. Hoskins expressed theniselvesas being very happy and Dr. Hoskins very hu- morously but pointedly admonish- ed all delinquent, single men for postponing the assumption of the marriago tie. Those present were: Dr. and Mrs. I.-E. Nash, Mr. and Mrs, S. G. Dent, Dr. and Mrs. William Burroughs, Mr-and Mrs. G. Dobeocle, Mr- and Mrs. Geo. Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dubignon, Mr. and Mrs. James Monroe, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Al- len, Mr, and Mrs. William M.

SAM’L MAYWOOD SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILURE Was on Way to Steamship to Get Clothing Preparatory to Going to Hespital—Had Been In Ill Health for Some Time, About eleven-thirty o’clock on Thursday Mr, morning Sam’! Hay- wood of 625 Garden street, died suddenly ina hack in front of the Union Station. Just a few minutes prior to his death, Mr. Haywood’ had engaged a hackman to carry him to the steamship City of Memphis, on which he was employed as head pantryman, When the hack had gotten op- ‘posite the Union Station the driver heard a faint ery and, turning around, observed that the man sitting in the rear seat had fallen forward with his head resting up- on the back of the front seat. Im- mediately upon noticing the pecu- liar position of the man in the rear, the driver stopped his horse and investigated the trouble. By this time quite a number of people, who iad seen the man’s body inclining in such. a peculiar position ard. thinking him sick, came forward and with the driver sought to find out the trouble. The man hed not uttered a sound since the faint ery which the hack- man heard, and when those gather- ed around the hack attempted te arouse him it was seen that he had expired. * The authorities were then noti- fied and the bedy taken to Sea- brook’s undertaking establishment. It was learned at the autopsy that the man had died from heart fail: ure. Mr. Haywood had been employ: ed on the City of Memphis for some time and upon the last trip dowr from Boston had told his com- panions that he was going thé Ma. rine Hospital as he had been in ill, health forsome time and did not seem to get any better. He was on his way tothe ship to get his clothes preparatory to entering the hospital when he suddenly ex: pired in the hack, He was about tairty-four years old.

Pearson, Sec’y. ——- Fall Opening at Colored Mili- genre State maaan The grand fall opening of the Colored Millinery store, 464 West Broad street will be held on Mon- day, September 29th. The display of head gear this year will eclipse in beauty any- thing which has yet been shown at this reputable establishment and it is very likely that a continual flow of ladies will be going in and out of this popular store all day long. It will be recalled that the seasons’s openings which this es tablishment has had in past year: have all been very commendabl and no doubt the one on the com: ing Monday will be a matter o: town talk for many months. As is the custom, there will bi music in abundance and other ‘de lightful treats which will greet th patrons as they attend this open ing. - Mrs. Aurelia Allen, the propri tress, has just lately returned fror the north where she selected he fall stock and has many beautife creations of this season’s styles i headgear which she will show ke patrons, Baby Loses Home Ac- count Tainted Blood ADOPTED INFANT WHEN ‘WO WEEKS OLD Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Berry Give Up Child—Would Like Child Sent North for Education— Child’s Mother Unknown _ The suspected taint of Negro blood has forced Thomas Henry Berry, eighteen months old, out ofa white home and fas brought sorrow to Mr, and Mis. T. H. Berry, No. 311 Harris street, who adopted him at the age of two weeks when his white mother said she could uot support him. They had come to love the baby and had expected to bring him up to manhood as their son, but the implacable laws of heredity -inter- vened. The child must spend his life with Negroes. ‘Thomas Henry was born at the Savannah Hospital in March, 1912. His wother gave her name, but that their might be Negro blood in the child did not occur to ‘Mr. and Mrrs. Berry when they took him before Judge Schwarz and formally adopted him. The adoption has not yet passed through the Superior Court, but the child was given the name of Berry. : “We called him Thomas Henry after me,” said Mr. Berry last night. Heisa bright little fel- low. Mrs. Berry and I thought of him just as if he had been our own.” And then the suspicion of color- ed blood fell upon the child. Mr. Berry, who was engaged in the ice business, took the baby with him on an ice wagon one day last summer. He heard one woman remarked to another, ‘Is that a white child?”° That was the first hint that reached him that anyone thought the little one might be tainted. After that other hints reached him and Mrs. Rerry. They took the child to four or five physiciuns. Each of them said the boy show- ed marked evidences of colored antecedents. "So Thomas Henry was turned over to a colored woman, who says she will adopt him. Mrs. Berry has gone to her people at Augusta for a time. __ “IT wish someone could send him North,” said Mr. Berry, ‘He'd have a better chance there. I wish I could prove whether there is Negro blood in him or not, but can’t do it.” ‘The baby’s mother may be able to solve the question if she is ever found. She told several stories about her place of residence when she was in the hospital at the baby’s birth. Sometimesshe said she lived at Augusta, sometimes it was somewhere else. She is thought to have gone toa neigh- boring town when she left Sa- yannah—Morning News Air Dome Closes ‘The patrons of the Air Dome who presented themselves for the nightly performance of this popu- lar picture house Saturday night found the place closed;and in dark- ness. Whether the house will re- open is not known’and as a conse- quence there are many who find themselves minus a place to spend “= evenings. Cann Park Lots Closed Out That the Negroes of the city are taking advantage of opportunities to purchase desirable land in and around the city may be seen from tie fact that the subdivision in the south western portion of the city, known as Cann Park, bas been closed out in a little‘less than eleven months. This subdivision was puton the market by a corpo- ration, with Mr. G. H. Bowen as general agent. ‘he property from the very beginning met with general favor and through the ef- forts of Mr. Bowen sold with much rapidity. The latter seeing tbe desirability of this Jand and an op- portunity to buy in # portion of it, personally bought up the remain. ing 106 unsold lots, aggregating $26,000, and during the Iatter por tion of this week closed a deal fo1 the sale of the last one of thes lots Already several cot tages have been begun o1 this property and in the cours of the next few month many oth ers will be begun. - open Monday Sept. 29th. The four colored Catholic schoo! which are under the managemen of the priests of the African Mis sion society of Lyons, will revper in Savannah on Monday, Septem: ber 29. These schools have dom much good work in the past and need no recommendation as they have won the admiration of both the colored and the white people of thecity. 7 Many substantial improvements are made lately at St. Benedict's school on Gaston and East Broad streets by Rev. G. Obrecht, the manager, to make the school room more comfortable. Four Francis- can Sisters will resume the splen- did work; under their able direct- ion’ this school will certainly con- tinue to be progressing. ? The school of the Pure Heart of Mary on Harden and 36th street has undergone a change in the management as Rev E. Peter has been appointed to take the place of Rev. J. A. Dablent who was lately removed to St. Peter’s church, Macon, Ga. Miss Gertrude Davis, Miss Carrie Elliot and Miss Car- lotta Green, all able teachers, will again form the teaching staff of this school. Rev. J. B. Thuet of St. Antho- ny’s Mission will be in charge of St. Augustine’s school at Spring- "Terrace. Miss Freddie Campbell, a young and intelligent lady, a graduate of St. Benedict’s and Beach school will be the only teacher, as only a limited number of pupils can be admitted. Rey. J- Zimmerman, West End, will have this year for school staff Mrs. Bonnie White Miller aud Miss Annie Foster, both graduates from Rock Castle high school. We expect that our colored children will all return to school with fresh strength and new en- thusiasm after: those Jong and warm summer days. We hope that the parents wiil send their children regularly and thus help the teachers to carry out the grand, noble task of the education of thé dear little ones. At Augusta, Atlaota and Ma- con, the same priests have opened already, September 15, threo large schools with a very big at- tendance. The Atlanta Mission made a great acquisition by the arrival ‘of four Sisters of the Blessed Sacrement (Mother Catherine Drexel’s Convent, Philadelphia) to take up the direction and teuch- ing of the school. Local Railway Mail Clerks Oreanize The colored postal clerks-of the city met Monday afternoon at the residence of Mr. Chas. H.

Teachers Assemble Monday Moraing at Bast Broad Strect School—Two Grades at Duffy Strect, Hall Te Go To Haven Home School. ; Fresh from their three months? vacation, the public school pupils will get back in harness on next Wednesday and begin their nine months’ search for knowledge. Already the streets ha ve begun to take on more lifeon account of the appearanceof hundredsof tots with their parents, buying’schoo! books here, a pencil or sponge there and other paraphernalia elsewhere. Cards of admission will be issued on Monday morning at 9 o’clock and ofcourse there will be the usual rush of parents to get their children in school. The’ demand for cards will probably be the largest in the history of theschqols, and as there are practically no in- creaséd accommodations for col- ored children there will be the usual number of disappointments. ‘The use of the two rooms in the Duffy street hall for school pur- poses will be discontinued this year, and two additional rooms at the Haven Home property will be used instead, making six rooms in operation at this school. It is hoped that the new school building which will be erected on this prop- erty will be begun during the year and will be ready for occupancy next October. Text books to be used this year are about the same as last ‘year, and as in former years the rule. concerning vacination, will be rig- idly enforceéd. All of the teachers who have been away on their summer vaca- tion are back in the city and on Monday morning at 11 o’clock the city teachers will meet at the East Broad Street School for their in- struction and the county school teachers will meet at the Chatham Academy at 12 o'clock, Woman’s Home and Foreign Missionary Society Mets ‘The Woman’s Home and For- eign Missionary Society of the Georgia Conference of the A.

Fire damaged the home of Mrs. Rosa Williams, 106 West Charlton street lane, Tuesday morning. While answering an alarm on Tuesday two fire engines collided, doing much damage. The new traffic regulations are now in force. The public is being educated into its workings. alarms about the same time on Monday night. One of the fires destroyed a home on South street, the other slightly damaged a house on Guerard street. Lots in the colored part of Laurel Grove Cemetery will hereafter sell for fifteen dollars. Dry Branch, Ga., Dots. Rev. J. T. Stephens is yet confined to his bed in a most serious condition, and has been so for three months. His doctors have tried to relieve him, but all efforts have failed. Rheumatism, they claim, is his trouble. On Monday morning last while starting out of the gin house of Mrs. Flaggo, Ben Bond was attacked and knocked down by some one who was standing on the outside of the door. No one seems to know who did it. Willie King, a young white man, is the only one that saw the man who struck him. The doctor says he may get over it, while it is serious. He was getting along fairly well. M. F. Aaron Among The Masons. IMPRESSIONS BY THE WAY. One of the great problems which confronts the craft at the present time, is how to interest the large number of dues paying and non-attending Masons. It is a matter of figures that the whole burden of the fraternity at the present time is being carried forward by less than ten per cent. of the total membership. It has been pointed out that much of this apathy is due to the hasty and loose manner in which lodges admit members. The fact that the fraternity has become so large and so universally recognized, as one of great influence, attracts a large number who seek admittance not to be guided by its teachings, but rather to use its supposed influence to further their own personal motives. If investigating committees would satisfy themselves in advance, that the applicant desired to become a better man, and to be of service to his fellow creatures, before recommending him, we would have better Masons and less apathy in our lodges. The curse of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechisms, yet who never read anything Masonic, not even the greet light upon the altar. If asked, as to the meaning of any of the symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the by-laws, the answers to simple questions wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of Law and Usages and a compendium of History, Landmark and Tradition. One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard and receive the plaudits of admiring friends, he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity in its high relationship to human activity. A well informed brother who has been thinking along Masonic lines, has suggested that all applicants for commissions as Grand Lecturers, should be required to pass an examination in the law as well as the ritual of the fraternity. In recent years there has been more or less agitation along this line. It has been pointed out that Grand Lecturers occupy a position in the fraternity, which causes many brethren to seek them for information in law as well as ritual, and that the burdens of the Grand Master would be greatly lessened if the craft were led to believe that the Grand Lecturer were competent to answer questions along this line. The suggestion is one which will doubless claim the attention of our Grand Lodge before many years. The scant courtesy extended to visiting brethren in our lodges is becoming shameful, if not giving a lie to the boasted doctrine of universality. A visitor entering one of our lodges is presented at the altar by the Senior Deacon and listens to some stereotyped remarks from the Master and is given a seat for the evening. It may be that one or two brethren will approach him and speak to him, but as a rule, he contents himself with getting out of the meeting all that he can and at its close passes out into the street. Our installation ceremonies direct that the stewards shall extend to visiting brethren such courtesies as may suggest themselves, but how many stewards do this? As a general thing, the average lodge is fortunate to have stewards at all. A little more attention to visiting brethren will be necessary in the future, if we expect Masonry to retain its hold upon the hearts of men. It is becoming a little exclusive, which is contrary to the theory of universal brotherhood.—Illinois Freemason. ** By reason of our profession of Masonry, we are not as other men. Within the lodge, all distinctions of wealth and class are, and should be, disregarded, and only true manhood and moral worth should prevail. Only by a faithful observance of this rule, and by constant and unceasing vigilance can the high standard of our beloved institution be maintained and its blessings be transmitted to future generations. There is nothing in Masonry that encourages or countenances the use of profane language. On the contrary every precept as to the Fatherhood of God is a protest against the use of the holy name in vain. Of recent years the crusade against profanity has gained strength. There are the Holy name societies of the Catholic church and similar organizations in Protestant churches. But none of these can wield a more powerful influence than the Masonic fraternity with its immense membership, and its strong hold upon the better feelings of man. The great underlying principle of Masonry, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," is as old as the human race, and our Fraternity may justly claim a direct descent from any and all associations of men, guided by this principle, and aspiring to this high ideal. To keep this grand inheritance and transmit it to our posterity unsullied and unspotted from the world, is the duty imposed upon the Masons of this day and generation. To the earnest seeker after Masonic truth, the question of the origin of the Fraternity soon becomes of minor consideration, and as he delves deeper and deeper into the teachings of the Craft, becoming more and more absorbed in its symbolism, his attention is arrested by the fact that its universality and eternal fitness were as applicable and suited for the guidance of men in the time of Abraham as they are today, and will continue to be as long as this world stands. Even to the profane, whose knowledge of Masonry is only that which is patent to all the world, who know nothing of the beauties of our symbolism, and can only guess at the true meaning of our rites; it is evident that the foundation of an institution which has continued for so long a time, and whose reputation has never been successfully assailed; must have been laid, if not indeed, by divine inspiration, certainly by the summit of human wisdom. No society founded on and governed by purely altruistic principles could have withstood the open and pronounced opposition of one of the great religious organizations of the world, the fierce owslaughts made upon it by political demagogues in the last century, the numberless minor perils which have beset its growth and development, and passed calmly and undisturbed along its appointed path, until today it numbers in this country alone more than one million of the best of our citizenship, unless it had, indeed, been founded upon that divine attribute, truth, the greatest of the virtues. From the teachings of our Fraternity, which concern our conduct to our neighbor and the world at large, we learn lessons of inestimable importance. No where, among all its maxims, can be found any guidance for the promotion of selfish aims, and throughout its whole system, from first to last, is taught the vital principle of mutual aid and assistance. Are not the words that are impressed upon our minds from time to time, as we advance through our ceremonies: "Our duty to God, our neighbor, and ourselves, one of the best definitions of Masonry that we can give? To help each other perform these duties is the reason for the existence of our Institution. We teach by precept and example; the precept to our brothers, the example to the profane. For these reasons Masonry will live and increase. Each good deed accomplished adds to our influence and strengthens our hold. It rests with us to see that no unworthy candidate passes our doors. Masonry is not a reformatory institution. The man who has lived down his past errors, and has brought forth fruits meet for repentance, should be welcomed to our midst. but not the man who may use the cover of our great and honored name as a protection for a mode of living which will not bear the strictest investigation. A. L. STANFORD CHAPTER It was a real enjoyable occasion, at the Masonic Temple. Thursday, Sept. 18th, when a new chapter was set up by Special Deputy, Mr. Duncan Pringle, aided by Mrs. H. B. Sales, the Grand Associate Matron, Mrs. J. C. Miller, Mrs. R. Morrison, Mrs. R. S. Taylor, Mrs. Fannie Armstrong and others. The new chapter was set up for A. L. Stanford Lodge, and is therefore named A. L. Stanford Chapter. The outlook for this chapter appears very bright, as a result of the great work of Mrs. Rainey Morrison, assisted by Mr. A. B.

St. Paul C. M. E. Church The services last Sunday were very inspiring and those who attended were the recipients of wholesome instructions At 11 o'clock, the pastor preached an eloquent sermon on "Liberal giving, spiritually, financially" and otherwise. He used as a text 2 Cor. 9:6. The service at night was equally inspiring and instructive. Luke 10:27 gave creation to his evening discourse. It was shown that the whole law had been condensed into this one law and to keep this one means the keeping of the whole. No one can afford to miss hearing these profitable sermons. The message on tomorrow night will be "Growing in Grace, Matt. 13:31. This promises to be a very interesting discourse. The captains are very busy with their clubs and doing all they can to make a splendid report on the second Sunday in October if one ask you to punch their cards please do so. Unusual services on tomorrow. A cordial welcome extended to the public. Lesson XIII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 28, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Quarterly Review, Read Neh. ix, 9-21—Golden Text, Neh. ix, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.-The Child Moses Saved From Death, Ex. 1, 22, to il. 10. Golden Text, Matt. xviii, 5, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me." See the great deliverer saved from death and cared for by the daughter of the enemy of God's people. Mark the faith of Jochebed and the part that Mirlam took in the events of that day. When individuals or nations attempt to work against God we cannot but think of Ps. il. 4. LESSON II.-Moses Prepared For His Work, Ex. il. 11-25. Golden Text, Matt. v, 5, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." After forty years' training in the institutions of Egypt and having become learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and mighty in words and in deeds, (Acts vii. 22) he had to spend forty years MEN TAKE NOTICE! IF YOU ARE TIRED of wearing ready made or misfit clothes let us make YOUR NEW CLOTHES WE GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT COOPER AND ODRIZEN THE UP-TO-DATE TAILORS 218 W. BROAD ST. SAVANNAH GEORGIA PETER H. alone with God, far away from all the wisdom of this world, in an occupation that was an abomination to Egyptians. that was an admonition to Egyptians LESSON III.—Moses Called to Deliver Israel, Ex. ill. 1-14. Golden Text, Matt. v, 8. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." An unusual event one day broke in upon the monotony of Moses' shepherd life, for God's time had come to deliver Israel and to call Moses to the work. Out of a bush that burned with fire, but was not consumed, God revealed Himself. LESSON IV.—Moses' Request Refused, Ex. v. 1-14. Golden Text, Matt. v. 4. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." In reply to Moses' demand that Israel be set free to serve their God, Pharaoh expressed ignorance of and contempt for Jehovah and in defiance of Him increased their burdens and refused to let them go. Moses appealed to the Lord, and He said, "Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh" (Ex. vl. 1). LESSON V.—The Plagues of Egypt, Ps. cv. 23-36. Golden Text, Matt. xxiii. 12, "Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted." The mighty hand of Jehovah was shown to Pharaoh and his people by plague after plague until they learned to know something of His great power and were willing to let Israel go. LESSON VI.—The Passover. Ex. xil, 21-31. Golden Text, Matt. xx, 28. "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give His life as ransom for many." While the plagues were being sent upon the Egyptians the Lord put a difference, or redemption, and delivered Israel. But in this last plague the only difference was the blood on the doorposts. LESSON VII.—Crossing the Red Sea, Ex. xiv, 19-31. Golden Text. Isa. iv, 24. "Before they call I will answer." From the time that they left Egypt the most manifest thing about them to other people must have been the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, which He never took from them (Neh. ix, 12, 19). LESSON VIII.—The Bread From Heaven, Ex. xvi, 2-15. Golden Text. John vi, 25. "Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of Life." Singing when they saw deliverance and murmuring when they saw trial was their way and too often is ours. He bore patiently with them, sweetened Marah, brought them to Ellm, gave them quails and angel's food and water from the rock, and He who did it all is Himself the Bread from heaven and the Living Water and the Rock. Lesson IX.—Israel at Mount Sinai, Ex. xix, 1-6, 16-21. Golden Text, "Let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well pleasing to God with reverence and awe" (Heb. xll, 2S). There is much of interest in Jethro's visit, bringing Moses' wife and sons, his worship of Jehovah and advice to Moses. But the most important thing is Jehovah bringing Israel unto Himself, to be His peculiar treasure above all people. LESSON X.-The Ten Commandments. Ex. xx. 1-11. Golden Text, Luke x. 27. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind." These commands were not 'given until they were redeemed. God does not ask an unsaved person to keep his commandments, except to show him his guilt and convince of sin and lead to Christ, who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. LESSON XL—The Ten Commandments (second part), Ex. xx, 12-21. Golden Text, Luke x, 27, same as last lesson, with the addition of "and thy neighbor as thyself." When we have been redeemed and can rejoice that there is no condemnation because we are in Christ Jesus, then by the Spirit we are expected to fulfill the righteousness of the law (Rom. vill. 1-4). The only way is by the appropriation of "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me" (Gal. ii. 20). "Not I, but the grace of God." Lesson XIL—The Golden Calf, Ex. xxxl, 15-20, 30-35. Golden Text. I John v, 21, "My little children, guard yourselves from idols." The sin of the people was very great (verse 30), but greater was the sin of Aaron, who was in Moses' stead for the time and who led the people into gross idolatry, changing their glory into the similitude of an ox that entahts grass (Ps. cvi, 19, 20). Vampires The belief in vampires can be traced back for more than 2,000 years, yet there is not on record a single authenticated instance of a vampire having been seen by a human being, and there are no data available by means of which the origin of the belief can be ascertained with any degree of certainty. These blood sucking apparitions, or "living, mischievous, murderous dead bodies," as one writer quantitely termed them, were common to all countries, whether occidental or oriental.

"I dare say you would," was the reply. "My terms for a comprehensive answer to this modest question are 1,000,000 francs."

Nothing Like Knowing Why. The sweet young thing was being shown through the Baldwin locomotive works. "What is that thing?" she asked, pointing with her dalnty parasol. 6 "That," answered the guide, "is an engine boiler." She was an up to date young lady and at once became interested. "And why do they boil engines?" she inquired again. "To make the engine tender," politely replied the resourceful guide.—Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. Lots of Synonyms.

Fable of the Vegetable Lamb. When cotton first came to Europe to make its principal centre in Lancashire it was the subject of the quaint and wonderful table of the "Vegetable Lamb." The fluffy white fibers of the bursting cotton pod so resembled sheep's wool that travelers reported that in Tartary there grew a shrub the fruit or boll of which contained "withinne a lytle Beaste in Flesche, in Bone and Bloode, as though it were a lytle lambe with outer wool." After the lamb had been eaten the wool was made into cloth, continued this story, which is the earliest European account of the manufacture of cotton.—London Standard. Nollekens, the sculptor, was a man of pretty wit and of neat resource in compliment. He had at one time for a sitter a woman of great beauty, but of an extremely nervous and impatient temperament. During her sittings she would constantly change her position, and with each shift of posture her expression changed. At last the sculptor's patience gave way. "Madam," he cried. "of what avail is your beauty if you will not sit still till I have reflected it in my model?" The sitter smiled with gratified vanity and was as motionless as a lay figure during the remainder of her sittings.—St. Louis Republic. An Effective Scarecrow. A scarecrow used by a farmer in the north of England not only scared every crow that saw it, but one crow was so frightened that he brought back the corn he had carried to his nest three days before.—London Tit-Bits. The Nearest Approach. An English tourist visited Arran and being a keen disciple of Izaak Walton was arranging to have a day's good sport. Being told that the cleg, or horsefly, would suit his purpose admirably for a lure, he addressed himself to Christy, the highland servant girl, "I say, my girl, can you get me some horsefiles?" Christy looked stupid; and he repeated his question. Finding that she did not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed: "Why, girl, did you never see a horsefly?" "Nan, sir," said the girl, "but a wanse saw a coo jump ower a preshipice." Crime and Light. It may seem strange, says a London paper, that murders could possibly increase the dividends of gas companies, but that happened at the time of the notorious "Jack the Ripper" crimes. It would be no exaggeration to say that the whole east end of London went in fear of death. These ghastly murders were all committed in dark spots, like unlit doorways, and the immediate result was that people used much more gas. The sale of candles and paraffin oil, too, went up amazingly all over the east of London. Renovating Delicate Fabrics. This preparation will not fade colors or injure delicate fabrics. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp; add one pint water to one pound potato. Paste this liquor through a fine sieve and cloth.

For dresses and waists dip a sponge in the liquor and apply it until dirt is removed. Rinse in tepid water and iron on wrong side. Opera and party dresses and white cashmere will clean beautifully by this process.-Los Angeles Times. Rainfall and Earthquakes. Professor Omori points out an apparent relationship between the frequency of earthquakes at Tokyo and the amount of rainfall and snowfall in northwestern Japan. Professor Omori does not, however, attempt to explain it. The periods when earthquakes are infrequent (but severe) coincide in a striking manner with those when rainfall is deficient at Nilgata and Akita, while the periods of frequent (but not violent) shocks coincide with excessive rainfall at those places.

The discovery has received many favorable testimonials from all parts of the country from those who have given it a trial.

Department of Magnolia Remedy Co. long department of the Magnolia Lane, Dr. D. H. Brown, president, are ing the large and increasing business the second floor of a building on best thoroughfares in that city. rented and manufactured, exclusively sale in many parts of this country Subscription Rates: In reply to an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, under the caption "Truth vs Error," in which The Tribune is accused of publishing scurrilous articles concerning the Odd Fellows of Georgia, and in which we are charged with circulating erroneous information concerning the order, we take this opportunity of saying that such is not the case. As a matter of fact we have time after time withheld articles of a damaging nature to the order in question, because we felt that such articles were of no benefit to the public and because we do not allow our columns to be used for tirade of any sort, yet at the same time we refrain in no wise from publishing in an unbiased manner our sincere convictions on matters of public moment. The statement that we maliciously endeavored to mislead the public in a news article in The Tribune concerning the raise in salary of the grand lodge officers of the Odd Fellows and the abolition of deputies' fees is incorrect. It was simply a news item, the information of which we received from two of the leading Odd Fellows of the city, who claimed to have been present at the Executive Board meeting. Our informants were Capt. W. D. Armstrong, deputy of the twelfth division, and Mr. E. A. Fields, grand director. Both of these gentleman in a conversation with our reporter informed him of the raise in salary of the grand lodge officers, and the latter was our source of information concerning the abolition of deputies' fees. In reference to the Odd Fellow articles in Tribune prior to the recent grand lodge in this city, we feel that they need no explanation whatever, as they were plainly marked "advertisement." The Tribune in no wise supported or used its influence for either side in the recent campaign for office of grand lodge officers, but when it became necessary for us to speak our conviction we did so without fear or favor. According to press dispatches, the new postmaster of Atlanta has been inducted into office. It is reported that one of his first acts in office will be the displacing of the Negro letter carriers on the ground that the carrying and delivery of the mails is a position of too great a responsibility for a Negro to hold. While we do not know Postmaster Jones, yet we had supposed that in his appointment and confirmation as the head of the largest and most important postoffice in our state, that he represented the best brain and brawn of his party in the state. To learn now that it will be the policy of the postmaster to regard the color of a man's skin as a bar to his efficiency or employment is indeed a shock to our first thought. But why should we be surprised? It seems that ever since the Democratic party has been in power that its Negro hating, demagogic wing has been in the ascendancy. It appears to us that the good thinking, well meaning, conservative element of the party has long since grown content to leave its workings to its most rabid element. If the good people of the Democratic party hope to have it continue in office, then it must curb the actions of such of its officials as seek to run their offices not by a system of economy and efficiency, but by a system whose foundation is made up of prejudice, race hatred and a longing for the plaudits of the mob. There is no denying the fact that there are many broadminded patriotic members of the Democratic party who champion the application of the chief tenets of our government, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to each and all of us alike. However, it is a question in our mind as to whether or not they pursue the course of their conviction with sufficient force to bring about the desired result. Postmaster Jones may inaugurate his anti-Negro system in the Atlanta postoffice if he so desires, and we do not doubt that he will, according to announced policy. However, we feel that when the smoke of battle is cleared that he will find that he himself and the party which he represents and not the Negro, will be the greatest sufferers therefrom. During the past week, the National Baptist Convention, reported to be the largest gathering of its kind in the world among Negroes, held its annual session in Nashville, the premier city of the state of Tennessee. The information has reached us that the sessions held were both forceful and harmonious to a marked degree. As a result, much legistion of a constructive nature has been acted upon. This is indeed as it should be. Organizations of the power and scope of the National Baptist Convention ought to have as their paramount purpose the devising and carrying out of plans that will result in the improved condition of not only the race or races represented at such conventions but of humanity in general. In calling for and being able to carry out harmonious and constructive sessions at their present convention, the directors or committee of management of the National Baptist Convention deserve much praise. They have indeed set a high mark for all future gatherings of our people of fraternal and religious makeup. It is sincerely hoped that in the future whenever and wherever our people may find themselves'in convention assembled that they will deliberate harmoniously, and collectively on matters pertaining to the welfare and improvement of themselves and humanity and not suffer themselves to waste their time in billingsgate, political antics or jumping at the throats of each other. Among the many problems with which the people of our community are confronted, none seems to be more urgent of solution at the present time than that which is brought about by the congregating of certain of our young men and boys on our thoroughfares and in our public places. A walk down West Broad street at almost any time of day or night will convince the almost unsuspecting among us that the time is at hand for some action to be taken in regard to these street corner hangers on and habitues of our public and private places. That this apparent idleness and aimlessness on the part of many of our young people of promise ought to be a serious question with each and every thoughtful one of us, no one can deny. The Tribune has often asked itself the question why is it that so many of our young men make themselves such persistent loafers in and around our public places and places of business? Surely they must realize that their presence in such large numbers in and around our business establishments is not conducive to the best business interest of the establishments. The proprietors of our business establishments must also realize this fact. To those of our young men who have formed the habit of spending the major portion of their time in and around our business places and on our thoroughfares with no apparent aim whatever within them, we urge that they find some other place to dispense their idle hours. To our business men who have tolerated the presence of these loafers in and around their business places, we urge that they see to it that their places are cleared of such undesirables. The presence of these loafers is indeed a growing menace which should be immediately destroyed. With the cooperation of the business men and the buying public, we have no doubt that the evil will be short lived. Let there be cooperation on the part of all of us and in a short time one of our most menacing local problems will be satisfactorily solved. Report From National Baptist Convention, Woman's Auxiliary The Woman's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention held its thirteenth annual session at Spruce Street, Baptist church, Nashville, Teen., of which Rev. T. L. Ballow is pastor. The opening session of the convention was at the city auditorium in Joint session, which was attended by over ten thousand persons. The welcome addresses and responses were well delivered especially that by the Governor of Tennessee and of the Mayor of Nashville. Devotional exercises were led by two elderly ministers, one minister 93 years old and the other 86 years old. As it was our semi-centennial celebration we sang all jubilee songs from beginning to end. On the afternoon of Wednesday the 17th at the church the woman's department held its opening which grand. Quite a number of women on the rostrum were 85, 90 and 98 years old and along with the officers and fifty voices representing each state in the Union, the exercises were grand. At each session it was very inspiring listening to the excellent speeches and jubilee songs. The National Training School for girls rendered special selections which were fine. On Friday a very large box was placed on the rostrum and Miss N.H. Burroughs had the ladies from each state to come forward and pack the box for Africa, which was creditable to each state. The men wanted to be in line so they contributed $53.85 in money. A committee was appointed to get bolts of goods to finish packing the box. The box will leave New York Saturday for Africa. A very large sum of money was raised for National Training School and for foreign work among the heathens in Africa. The reports from each national and state officer were excellent and the writer wishes to state that Georgia was among the leaders in reports and in every department. Georgia is proud of her queenly S. C. J. Bryant and W. of McKinney and other officers; the exhibits were the best ever. Georgia has 365,453 Baptists. We returned on Tuesday morning much pleased with the creditable report rendered at this National Baptist Convention. State Superintendent for Georgin. Georgia State College Opens Wednesday The Georgia State Industrial College will begin its twenty third yearton next Wednesday and prospects point to the best year in the history of the school. There will be several new subjects taught this year, among them being typewriting, stenography and bookkeeping. The enrollment during last year was very large and an even larger enrollment is expected this year. Swangra School. Swangin School will re-open Wednesday October 1st, at Coles Hall, 616 Waldburg street, west. Special attention is given little children, sewing and fancy work for girls; our boys sew also. Success Club (the saving department) has planned for a great success this term. Terms reasonable. For further information apply to Mrs. E. S. Chance, 616 Waldburg street, west. Sengstacke School On Monday of last week the Sengtacke School opened its doors and the bell rang out loud and long to summon the little people back to their duties from which they had had three months rest. Along with the former pupils came new ones seeking admission. The out-look for this school year seems very bright. The crowded condition of the public school makes this one a necessity to the village and many have taken the advantage of the opportunity to enroll as pupils. Golden Circle Met The first annual session of the S. G. L., G. U. O. of G. O. met at Seabrook's hall, September 10th, 11th and 12th and was largely attended by delegates and visiting sister and brother lodges. After a prayer by the grand chaplain and an anthem "Blest be the tie that binds," the grand past ruler was escorted to his chair by the staff of officers. He was exquisitely adorned in his robe of orange richly trimmed with red, white and blue, and a crown of jewel bedecked his head. The following programme was rendered: Welcome address, Bro. George Heywood; remarks, Sister B. J. Green; papers, Sisters Rosa Bowie, Annie Morgan on "Good of the order," paper, Sister Alice Brown, "The duties of the members of the Willing Workers Circle No. 1." Sister Essie Raysor read a paper on "Faith, Hope and Charity;" Sister Reta Evans one on "Let us go forth," and Sister Pearl Hall another on "Faith, Hope and Charity." Sister Sallie Green spoke on "Congratulation." After singing "Guide me O thou great Jehovah," the meeting adjourned at 8:80 p. m. The following officers had charge of the meeting: John Walthour, G.

Smith} —_ School Notice According to announcement, Mrs- J. H. Patterson will take a limited number of scholars who wish help in arithmetic and gram- mar, on the first Monday in Sep- | tember at her residence, 912 At- |Jantic avenue from 3 to 5 o'clock p.m. , 26 For the Children A Gay Young Bather Playing on the Beach. Photo by American Press Association. This happy young gentleman was tripping along the beach at Asbury Park, N. J., when the camera man happened along and snapped him. During the bathing hours at this famous summer resort hundreds of kiddies may be seen enjoying themselves on the edge of the surf. Of course they are always accompanied by some older person to keep them from venturing too far out, but as a rule the youngsters do not venture into the water by themselves. Playing on the sand, gathering shells and pebbles and just wetting their feet in the water is usually the extent of their bathing. When father or mother plunge them under a breaker they ordinarily set up a great shout of protest. Speculation. The leader in this game provides two packs of cards, one of which is dealt one by one to the company till all the pack is dealt. The other pack he keeps in his hand, drawing one card from it at random, which he conceals in his pocket. The players, being each further provided with a saucer containing fifty beans, the leader rings a small bell and calls out, "Speculate!" Then for a time there is confusion, the players circulating around the room, offering beans in exchange for certain cards which the neighbors display. Each wishes to hold the duplicate of the card concealed by the leader, though no one knows which it is. At a second ringing of the bell the players are again seated, while the leader, turning up one card from the pack in his hand, calls out its name. Whoever holds the duplicate must go forward and lay it upon a table provided for the purpose. After half a dozen or more of the cards have been thus collected the signal to speculate is again given. Of course the interest increases as the number of cards held by the players diminishes, and sometimes a player will give his last bean for a card which may be called in at the next ringing of the bell. After repeated speculations and callings in only one card remains—the duplicate of the one concealed in the pocket of the leader. The fortunate holder of this wins a prize, as also does the possessor of the greatest number of beans. Hopping Circle. Form the boys and girls in separate circles. The children face inward and are about two steps apart. For each circle get rope about twelve feet long with a bean bag tied to the end of it. One of the children stands in the center and swings the rope around in a circle, keeping the bag close to the ground. As the rope approaches each pupil he hops upward and over the swinging bag. Whoever is struck by the bag or rope steps out of the circle. Insist that the bag be swung close to the ground and, with timid children, that it is not swung too rapidly. The Hop Toad. Two puffy hop toads, hippy-bop, Got to hopping so they could not stop Till they found a pool and waded in Into, the water up to their chin. The place was so delightfully cool, This pleasant, limpid, sparkling pool, They whaked and they blinked and sat them down In bathing suit tights of natty brown. 'Twas their resort on a summer day, And they intended awhile to stay, When long came a pig and drank it up- All the water, without bowl or cup. The hop toads were left quite high and dry And hopped away with a little sigh, But they found another, yet, indeed, That answered as well for every need. When pleasures are taken 'way from us It's better to leave-with-a fuss And see if better we cannot do. What's right for toads is right for us too HE WAS CONVINCED. They had a boys' corn growing contest last year, down in Hamblem county, Tenn. Prizes were offered by business men, and fifty-two boys entered the contest. The average yield of the tracts tended by these boys was ninety-one bushels per acre. What these boys did is the more deserving of credit when it is known that the highest average yield in this same county for any year has been twenty-seven bushels per acre, while the average for the state is only twenty-six bushels per acre. In writing of this contest a contributor to Farm and Flireside makes the following interesting reference: "At a meeting of the boys early in the spring I turned to an old gentleman sitting nearby at the conclusion of an address by one of Uncle Sam's demonstration agents and asked, 'What do you think of it?' referring to the expert's explanation of the new method of raising corn. 'Sounds fine, he replied, 'and looks good on paper, but it won't work out on the farm I've been raising corn all my life, and I think I know a thing or two about farming. However, if my boy wants to try it he can have any piece of ground I've got, and I'll help him, for I want him to have a chance at everything good that comes along. If he raises more corn on one acre than I do on five I'll admit that my father, grandfather and I were all wrong and begin farming the boy's way." An interesting sequel to this is the fact that this same boy won third prize in the county contest and won his father over entirely to the new way of raising corn. BANANAS. Notwithstanding the fact that Americans consume more bananas than any other kind of fruit, the majority know very little as to their origin or culture. Three billion, or 1,500,000 tons, of bananas were consumed in the United States last year, and most of this vast quantity was produced on the fertile river bottoms of Central America and in Cuba, Jamaica and other West Indian islands. Originally the 'banana grew wild and possessed seeds and was much smaller than the fruit of a modern plantation. The banana tree, so called, which often grows to a height of thirty to forty feet, is really not a tree at all, but a plant, which dies down to the roots every year. Its nearest relative familiar in America is the canna. Banana plantations usually comprise 3,000 acres or more, and bringing one up to the point of bearing a carload of fruit requires an outlay of from $500,000 to $800,000. When the tract for the banana plantation is cleared of native timber the pieces of banana root, each containing an "eye," are planted from fifteen to twenty feet apart each way. An old plant usually furnishes three eyes. The plant bears in from ten to twelve months after planting. The cutting of the bunches goes on throughout the year, so that the harvesting is a continuous operation. As soon as the fruit is cut it is transported to the coast and put aboard vessels equipped with refrigerators and carried to its destination. NEED MORE LIKE HIM. The writer has in mind a type of farmer of which there are a few in every community. Although he has a large family he does not halt a bit at the expense involved in providing for them every wholesome thing in the way of opportunity for entertainment that comes to hand. A big family car makes it possible for all to come to town and lecture and Chautauqua courses are generously patronized. He takes a liberal attitude toward things that have in view the public welfare, and in an all round way he is an asset in the community. He raises corn and hogs and steers, but he is not so interested in the dollars to be got from these that he forgets that his good wife and his boys and girls have longings and needs which are entitled to attention. Every community has this type, but it is one in which there should be an increase. QUEER BUSINESS It beats all how many supposedly honest and respectable folk fall down wretchedly when it comes to working off on their local groceryman eggs that are added or rotten, or are in all stages of incubation. These same folks would kick up the biggest kind of a fuss if these same merchants sold them sugar that had sand in it or prunes or oatmeal that were wormy and yet they deem it entirely permissible to work off eggs that they know are worthless on these same grocers. The further strange feature about this business is that these same folks, many of whom own farms worth $30,000 to $40,000 and have money in the bank, run the risk of the heavy fines and humiliation before the public, as the marketing of such eggs is prohibited by law in most of the states. LOSSES ON COTTON. It is estimated by those who have made a study of the subject that the cotton growers of America loose $75,000,000 a year through following bad methods of baling and marketing. This is $5 per bale on the annual output of 15,000,000 bales. A systematic effort is being made by the American Cotton Growers' association to stop this loss, particularly along the line on providing the small grower with some means of credit on his warehouse receipts which will enable him to keep his crop in storage beyond the time of the temporary decline in the cotton market which usually accompanies the marketing of a big crop.

Rather unexpectedly the slopes of Snowdon, a Welsh mountain only 3,560 feet high, have proven one of the wettest regions of the world. The average annual rainfall of the globe is about thirty-six inches, that of tropical Cherrapongee. Assam, is 610 inches, with an extreme of 905 inches in 1801, and that of Maranham, Brazil, 227 inches. Seathwaite, a little village of the English valley of Borrowdale, has claimed the third highest record. The meteorological office, however, has reports from thirteen Welsh stations, of which Lunchfa, at an altitude of 2,500 feet, showed the greatest European rainfall-247 inches—and eleven exceeded the 143 inches of Seathwaite. The Builders. "The Egyptians were the builders," said a contractor enviously. "No wonder their monuments will endure forever. Labor was nothing to them. As you would spend a cent on a newspaper, so would an Egyptian king put 10,000 men to work upon a temple. Labor, you see, cost, nothing. A striking example of the Egyptian prodigality, of labor, lies in this fact: No fewer than 2,000 men were employed for three years in carrying a single stone, a stone of unexamined size, from Elephantine to Slaa." The Troacherous Lioness. "Lionesses are far more dangerous than lions," said jah animal trainer. "Their tempers are more uncertain. They are more treacherous. They are more wily. If a lion is in a bad humor he shows it. He growls and snarls and lashes his sides. You know what is in the wind and prepare accordingly. But a lioness in a bad humor is as affectionate as a girl. She brushes, purring, against your leg, and she minds you with the joyous alacrity of a good fox terrier. Then, as soon as your back is turned, whiz-a yellow streak shoots through the air, and you are on your back, and she is at your throat. With all the cat tribe it is the same." A Lapland Wedding. Mr. F. H. Butler, who has traveled much in Lapland, is of opinion that that country affords a far more interesting experience for holiday makers than Switzerland. "A wedding I saw was the picture of happiness," he says. "The bride was attired in red, with a red silk scarf and tassels, white shoes, fur gaiters and red gloves. The wedding feast consisted of reindeer meat, marrow bones from the legs, reindeer tongues and reindeer cream and coffee. It is the practice for the dogs to attend the ceremonies, and sometimes the proceedings are disturbed by the dogs fighting."—London Opinion. Sweet Peas. The original ancestors of the sweet pea came from Sicily and Ceylon, and the first gardener on record as sending the seed to other growers was an Italian monk, Father Franciscus Cupani, who sent seed to England in 1609. 13. BECA13: The Standard Life Insurance Company's policy values rank A1 among Life Insurance Contracts. The most that can be said of any other contract is that "It is as good as the Standard Life Policy." There is nothing that can be better. When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe? When they are not insured with the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company. Which company pays for all diseases known to medical science? The Pilgrim. Which company carries its members the longest before lapsing their policies? The Pilgrim. Will you explain why the Pilgrim does this? Only to aid its policy holders, that's all.

While dried corn and corn pickled in salt are both appetizing as winter ra- tions, the canning method is preferred by some. In using this the directions given here should be followed: Cut }corn from cob when it is at the proper stage and in filling the cans or glass Jars in which it Is to be preserved put some corn in the bottom, mashing this down with a cob'from which the corn has been cut until the milk comes out well. Put in another layer and mash again, and so on until the jar fs full. The cans should be slightly heaping and the covers then screwed on tight. When the cans are filled and covers on they should be put in the boiler and set ea a crate or frame so that they will not touch the bottom. And they fee be so arranged that they will mot touch cach other. The boiler should then be filled with cold water, brought to a boil and allowed to boil for four hours. Let stand until water fs cool; then remove cans and try cor- ers to see if they are tight. ‘The cans should be kept covered with water while boiling, and this may be done by ‘keeping a kettle of boiling water handy. This method of canning 43 recommended by the department of agriculture as the most satisfactory ‘for preserving corn, beans, peas and ther vegetables. | Fe , ) 2 i AIR LINE __~Errive Effective April 27, 1913+, Depart _ 0 pa | vonmaneneNOrth and East—....—-.{1__25 pm * | 330 am... | North and East 123 5 am 7 25 am............|__-____.

The careful farmer should do this every spring, for, no matter how free from smut his grain may be at harvest time, it is almost sure to be contaminated by being ron through a separator which has handled several lots of smutty grain. Treating the seed each spring in the manner men- tioned is the only sure way, and {t is well worth while in view of the trifling cost and the possible damage if the grain fs not treated. | v Yu will be greatly benefitted by stopping in and getting our free advice on how to take che best care of your shoes -which will cause them to last longer and keep better shape.

Many a strawberry bed would have ylelded twice what it did this year if instead of allowing a mat of vines to sot last year the owner had kept them cut back to a narrow row and this season had kept the soll between rows thoroughly cultivated so as to conserve the soll moisture when that very,hot and dry spell came on early in Jtne. Had the above suggestions been carried out the yield would have been affected little, if any, bythe dry weather. The trouble with most ber- ry growers, and this holds especially of those householders who grow for the table only, is that thoy let the berries set altogether too thick in the bed, with the result that the vined do not have sufficient room for proper de- velopment, while if drought comes they are done for in short order through Jack of moisture. s Fort Valley High o* y ss \ z And Industrial School Offers special advantages to young men and women seeking an education.
