Dixie COOKERY, Or how managed my table for twelve
years. practical cook book for Southern housekeep
era By Mrs. Barringer, of North Carolina. Loring,
pubhsher-Boston, 1867.
All good housekeepers who really wish to make
the most Of the limited resources now at the COM
msnd of the heads Of Southern families, should
buy read, and 'inwardly digest this valuable lit
tie book. It is an admirably written and well
printed volume Of 121 pages, with a convenient
index. and evidently got up with IN eye to COM
bination Of good taste and economy-the latter
a very present necessity in these times, end the
former an inherent quality not yet quite extinct in
the South. Exery housekeeper, We repeat, should
have this little book on the pantry shelf. It may
be had for the small sum Of fifty cents at HOLMES
book store, corner Wentworth and King.
L1aHT WANTED.-The Memphis Appeal notices
the arrival in that city Of a Mrs. ]. HADDwN, Of
Charleston, who visits the West to solicit charity
for the destitute families on Johns Island. We
were not aware that the suffering in chose sec
tions was of such nature as to require the servi-
ces Of q travelling agent who would solicit contri-
buttons for their relief. No.appeal has been made
to the Charleston public, and as it is an old saying
that 'charity should begin OF home," We would
like little light upon the subject. Tho appeal
says:
eve have had the pleasure Of q call from Mrs. j.
Haddwin, Of Charleston, 8. O., who has come, re.
commended by citizens Of Charleston, to solicit
families ON Johns Island, st. Andrews Parish,
8. G., eight miles from Charleston. None
Of our people suffered more during the war, or
were more completely impoverished than those OF
the islands on the coast OF the Palmetto State and
none more deserve our sympathy. Those whose
ears are open to these cries may obtain the ad-
dress of Mrs. Haddwin ct the Worsham House."
THE LAuRENsvnLE Herald gives an interesting
account Of freedman's barbecue which occurred
in that village on the examination Of NJ. T. j.
CIABYs school, colored: The day was inaugurated
and closed by procession through the Square
and principal street, as follows: Mr.. CLARY's
school, with white banner bearing these words,
ssIndependent School, Laurensvile, 8. c." school
of Wade Hix (colored), with banner inscribed
knowledge is Power )" then the colored society,"
carrying banner, saThe Laurensville Colored Be-
nevolent Society,"" followed by the colored people
generally.
The examination Of the classes began about
10 O'Clock, and occupied some two hours with the
little speeches and recitations from the scholars,
who all acquitted themselves very creditably. MIR.
C1ARY, q Confederate soldier who lost an arm in
battle, has devoted himself since the surrender to
the education Of the color ed children certainly de-
serves much from the patrons Of his school, for
the rapid manner in which he has advanced his
pupils.
After the examination, the time until dinner was
announced was consumed by speeches from both
colored and white orators. There was everything
on the table usually seen at barbecues and picnics,
in great profusion and abundance.
There were over thousand freed people pres
emit, but under the management Of the efficient
marshal Of the day, Hampton Fletcher, assisted by
his ieutenants, who we're appropriately designated
by blue ribbons and sashes the most perfect order
was preserved. The whole affair was conducted
decently and in order, and as such was commend
ed by all.
