But because we have this good Cookery Book
IN nossession, is that sufficient reason for not
having another with varied attractions of its
own? Why shouldn't we have as great va
riety in this line as we have in the line of Tray
els. Novels Memoirs, Histories Therefore, we
saw. make room for the new aspirant-Cholce
Recipes of Georgia Housekeepers. By the La
dies of the Second Presbyterian church of Augus-
ta Ga. The motive for the publication of these
criminal formulas-for they are all such-is of
the very best, and should incline all Presbyte-
rian women to send to their Jealous sisters of
Augusta for copy. To every housekeeper who
has the true esprit de corps, fresh Cookery
Book has the same attraction that the latest
novel has for the indefatigable novel-reader:
and we feel therefore as if the mere announce
ment of the existence of such new book would
be enough to ensure attention. But there is a
better reason in reserve than the mere worth of
the book and that it is erceLLent and most prac-
ticable, and very tittillating to the epicurean
appetite, even, we are ready to avow before all
corners. The reason of the books existence is
simply this: These good ladies want to assist
this Second Presbyterian church of Augusta
and as this sort of scheme has succeeded before.
why not again? That it will succeed we feel
as sure as we are, that every true Presbyterian
church woman and housekeeper ought to send
TO Mrs. G. S. ArndH, augusta Ga, for a copy
thereby adding to her darling stock of recipe
books and helping forward noble cause.

Arkansas Story.

Kansas preachers are said to be very
eccentric, and their mild unnatural
ness has given rise 10 q great many
remarks and & few stories. The fol.
lowing narrative was told us confiden-
TALLY by a slanderer:
A minister o before 4 large au-
dience, took his text and began
preaching. A brisk firing of pistols
began On the outside of the church.
"Brother Deacon" said the minis
ter, II believe those fellows are cast
ing i%nsinuations at me. In fact, l
am nearly convinced" he continued,
as a piece of plastering fell from the
wall close to his head.
81 think, parson, that it refers to
some one else," replied the deacon.
The minister raised a lumber of
water, and was in the act of applying
his lips, when the glass fell, shattered
by q shot.
"Ihis is an iDuendo no longer"
said the minister, wiping the water
from his vest. "This is what I term
an unmistakable thrust. The con-
gregation will please sing while 1 go
out and investigate this matter. Is
there another preacher in the house?"
YES" said a man, throwing down
a stick which he had been whiting,
arising and pulling at the waist of his
pants like a man who had inst

"Unlimber."
The whiting preacher handed over
a large Remington pistol, which the
insuited preacher took and, drawing
one from his belt, started out. After
going out there was an immediate i'm
in the firing business. 1t
was more lifelike, insomuch that the
.eacons sat working their fingers.
After a while the minister returned,
placing an ear and the nostril and
half OF a nose on the pulpit, re-
marked: "He hat hath ears to hear,

A Political Riot in Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, August 22.-From passen-
gers who arrived to-day the following
particulars have been gained of riot
which occurred yesterday a5 Coffeeville,
Miss. A special election is to be held
on next Tuesday to fill vacancy in the
sherif's office, over which there was q
contest at the last general election.
The Democrats and Greenbackers have
each a ticket in the field. Both parties
held ratification meeting at Coffeeville
on Saturday, and each raised a pole.
The Democrats had a brass band from
Grenada, and after the poll raising
marched through the streets. While
passing a corner a difficulty occurred
between negro named Spearman, who
was in the Democratic procession, and
A. V. Pearson, the Greenback candidate
for sheriff, which resulted in Pearson's
shooting Spearman, killing him instantly.
This was the signal for a general melee
and volley of shots was opened on
Pearson, who received the wounds, from
the effects of which he died last night
Two of Pearson's friends, Kelly and Red
dick, were wounded. For time per-
feet pandemonium reigned, the excite.
ment running SO high that The Walthall
Grays, q military company of Grenada,
Miss, were telegraphed for, but the order
was subsequently countermanded. Last
night quiet had been restored.
