Musoadine Wine


EDITOR BULLETIN: As this is the season
for making muscadine wine, and several
persons have enquired of me how it is made.
l will give directions through your valuable
paper, hoping that many win be induced to
try it Wash the muscadines and let them
stand two or three days, then press out the
juice; add to each gallon one pound crushed
sugar, and put into clean vessel, which
should be kept full and loosely stopped till
fermentation is done, which will be four to
six weeks; then cork it tight and let it stand
till March or April, when it should be
carefully racked of, bottled and well sealed
While fermenting it will settle down little,
and should be filed up every two or three
days, so as to have as small a surface as
possible exposed to the atmosphere; it
should also be kept in a cellar or some cool
place.
An excellent and, think, better wine
is made in the same way as the wild sum
mer grape. If properly managed, wine
made after the same manner as the summer
grape, when two or three years old, will be
superior to any port wine we can buy in
this country. Any further information viii
be cheerfully given to any one who may call
on me. D. I. Wells.

LOOK Our FOR THErvEs.-Latterly our
community has been greatly annoyed by a
set of thieves, who have thus far eluded de-
lection. Among other depredations they
broke into Messrs. Newbern, Tate & Co. s
store on Sunday night, and succeeded in OBJ
taiaing s. in cash and navy pistol.
On the same night two men rode up to the
pasture Just north of the residence of Jas.
Fentress, Esq, deliberately hitched their
horses to the fence, and "eornered his two
mules Before they had succeeded in bri-
ding the mules, however, the dogs by con
slant barking, alarmed the servants, one OF
when ran out to see the cause Of the dis
turbance. Immediately on his appearance
the rascals broke for their horses, and pu
out at full speed towards the river All this
happened in the corporate limits of Bolivar
The punishment on conviction for horst
theft in the State now, is death by hanging
Ne long to see our county ridden of bur
glars and horse thieves

HATcHIE RrvER-AJ an adjourned meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce Of Shelby
county, held Tuesday, September %, Mr. c.
Ii. Dorion called attention to the question of
the navigation of Big Hatchie. An effort
was made to open that river to Memphis
trade, but the project, though submitted by
the members of the Legislature from Hay
wood, Upton and Fayette counties, was
beaten by the Shelby county members In
consequence the trade between the Browns
vile bridge and Bolivar was lost to Memphis.
The chief obstacle was the Brownsville rail
road bridge, which was once, and should be
again, a drawbridge lie offered resolu
ton, which was laid over until the next reg
ular meeting. A committee Of five, consist
ing Of Messrs. c. II. Dorion, r. Wormeley
CD. Phillips, Napoleon Hill and NJ. E. Coch
ran, was appointed to make proper investi
cations, and report on the feasibility of re
moving the Hatchie bridge

of Capt. johnson.
DR.. BULL-Dear Sir My husband, Dr.
G. S. johnson, was a skillful surgeon, and
physician in Central New York, where he
died, leaving the above G. 2. Johnson to my
care. At thirteen years of age he had a
chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which l
gave him your Sarsaparilla- 1t cured him.
l have for ten years recommended 1t to
many in New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for
scrofula, fever sores, and general debility.
Perfect success has attended it. The cures
effected in some cases of scrofula and fevel
sores were almost miraculous. I am very
anxious for my son to again have recourse
to your Sarsaparilla. He Is fearful of get
ting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it. His wounds were terrible, but l
believe he will recover.
