in the fullest sense reciprocal may result.
Without it the investment OF American cap

COOKING MAIN.
The Mason Depot Party Climb the Spine
of the Jackson, Tenn, Party.

Yesterday a cooking main was held at
Sheppard's tank, near Mason Depot. A
number OF Memphis lovers of the exciting
sport boarded the early train and witnessed
the main. An APPEAL reporter was in
formed by one of those who attended it that
it was marked by very exciting sport. The
contests were all closely fought and the boys
all enjoyed it immensely. The main was
between the Mason Depot party and the
jackson, Tennessee, party. The former were
the favorites and fully justified the conf
dence placed in them. The Mason Depot
cocks won the day, both in the main and the
shakebag. Seven cocks were shown and
matched. Both sides showed fine cocks and
in fine order, and the handling on both sides
was exceptionally good

THE manufacture of table oil promises to
be an industry as fruitful of profit for house
keepers as for those who are embarking their
money in making it. Some figures which we
publish in another column will be found a
very good study for our readers. A CORE

saving of nearly one-half may be effected by
using this oil in preference to lard. 1t is
manufactured and refined here, has already
been pronounced upon by competent judges
and declared to be superior for cooking pur-
poses and free from all taint. 1t should,
therefore, have the preference.

TWO CASES
OF Smallpox la Memphis, which Should
Occasion No Alarm.


A short time ago a negro was sent to the
smallpox hospital with that disease, from
which he has since died. On investigation
it was found that he did not take the disease
here, but had it when he came here on a
steamboat. Since then two more cases
have been reported here to DR.. Thornton.
The first is that of J. Sullivan,
the reel driver of Engine No. 2,
who was taken sick at No. 15 Winchester
street. He was first found to be sick three
or four days ago by DIR. Henning, and then
the case discovered to be one of smallpox
was reported to DIR. Thornton, who immedi-
ately had the house placarded and ordered
it to be isolated About dark the
health officer discovered that negro
child named Fanny Gray, aged eleven years,
living on Broadway and Orleans streets, had
a case of varioloid. The same precaution
was taken there by the health officer. A
short time ago the doctor addressed COM
munication to the County Court concerning
vaccination, which should receive attention
promptly.
