the house where he did the shoot ting and placed

week, which is supposed to have been the cause
Of the murder. An armed crowd is around the

Pastry without Butter.

The American pie has been sub.
Jected to more unjust abuse from
foreign writers than any other Of
our distinctive products, if we ex-
cept the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And yet We can
Lot say that it has been altogether
undeserved, because of the william
Gus compound, thick, hard and
heavy hard, that's too often made 10
do duty as crust" and which
by courtesy is called pastry"
Light, tender, faky, and digesti-
bic pie-crust and all kinds of pas
try can be made most readily by
the use of Royal Baking Powder
without any butter, or with half
the usual portion, if preferred, or
with a small quantity Of lard or
other shortening as desired. Pie
crust thus made is much more
wholesome and digestibIe, besides
being more economical and easier
prepared. In addition to saving
all the butter if desired, one-third
the -four is also dispensed with, as
the crust is rolled that much thin
ner, the leavening qualities of
Royal Baking Powder swelling it
to the requisite thickness. If drip
pings or lard be used, the Royal
Baking Powder removes any I'M
pleasant taste, rendering the crust
as short. sweet and pleasant as if
made from the finest butter.
Those who know the appetizing
qualities of the genuine home
made American pie will rejoice
that by the aid Of Royal Baking
Powder in the pastry it can be
made quite as digestible as it is
delicious.

Eczema is one of the ugliest and
most troublesome of all blood dis
eases. 1t proceeds from humors
in the blood which are sometimes
very difficult to eradicate. For
five weary years Mr.. J. d. Rode

terribly from this disease. He
writes; Finding no relief in the
many medicines till used Brown S

my neighborhood for any disorder

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Ninety-Seven Years Old and Yet Can
Bounce Ten-Rail Fence.

There is living in the upper
part of Barlow county, an old Ia
dy, Mrs. Carrie Vaughn, whose
history is as remarkable az it is
interesting. She was born in
Habersham county, Ga, in 1883,
making her 81 years old. She
was married at the age of II. Her
husband has been dead forty-one
years. She raised eleven chill
dren, saw. them all married, with
families of their own, except one.
The children are now all dead, but
she has grandchildren, great
grandchildren and great-great
grand children, numbering in all
about 100. She never wore spec
tacles in her life. She could to-
day thread the finest needle, but
for nervousness Of her hands. She
is remarkably active and spry for
her age. Rather than go around
to gate twenty yards ff,she will
bounce a ten-rail fence. When
her children, who are very kind
and attentive-te~all her wants, 90
to the crib to shell up her corn
grist, they find it already shelled
by her own hands. She attends
to her business with great dill
gence. No idle bread is eaten
about her. She has smoked her
pipe of tobacco regularly from
early womanhood. She is all suf-
ficient to herself, asks no outside
aid or help, and has a comfortable
home and farm. She and her
husband were here before the In
dians were removed. She is stout
enough to live many years yet.

The celebrated letter that Rev.
John Wesley wrote to his refrac-
tory and exasperating spouse, min
utely detailing her imperfections
and unworthiness, is a mild sched-
ule OF wrongs compared with re-
cent developments in the case Of
a certain New Yorker named Ed
ward Martin, who petitions for le-
gal release from more than mod
ern } ezabel. Mr.. Martin is a bust
ness man and has accumulated q
considerable estate, but he ap-
pears to have taken lea We Of his
reason when he had attained, what
is usually considered the sober
age of So. He was a widower, with
two children, when, lii an evil
hour, a mature and childless wild
ow, who had been three times di-
Vorced,in mercenary spirit, cross
ed his path and made an infatua-
ted fool of him. Among the pleas
antries and endearments, this rid
lculous old gentleman complains
OF are accusations too revolving to
name, personal violence, throwing
caustic liquid in his face, yelling
in public when driving beside
him, knocking the cigars out of
his mouth, threats Of poisoning
horses, poking hot Goals from the
fire place on his slippered feet,
brandishing carving knives under
his nose, hurting beefsteak about
the table, scalding him with tea,
chasing him around with poke
melting the servants to steal, me-
nacing him with law suits, mutt
lating the house, creating disturb
ances that the police had to quell,
all manner Of lying, Islander, etc,
etc.
Now this sample and phonom-
email alleged virago is a female
physician, with a lucrative prac-
tice and worth, in her own right,

reader, is the presumptivo cause
Of such stated wickedmcss? It

alluring rum pinch, the thrilling

THE LOCAL OPTION BILL.
HOW 1T rs BEING HANDLED IN
THE SENATE-ITS ADVOCATES
ARE DOWN IN THE MOUTH"
Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph goth ult.

Atlahta Cor. Macon Telegraph 29th ult.
The fate Of the local option bill,
IN anything like the shape in
which it passed the House, may
be considered sealed, with a great
seal. The friends Of the bill have
been over jealous and somewhat
intemperate. Their attack in the
Senate of the motives of Senators
who proposed amendments to per-
feet the bill has not been attended
with very good results, and in the
Senate this morning the bitter was
bitten. The motives of the ram
pant advocates of the bill were Sc
verely and cuttingly arraigned by
Senator Maddox, and it is under
stood that he Will repeat and
double the dose when the Senate
meets tomorrow.
The Senate has already amend
ed the House substitute in sever
al important particulars.
l. The provisions requiring each
voter to cast his ballot in his own
militia district has been stricken.
2. The local option law shall not
take effect until after proper pub
lication of notice of the result of
the election.
B. The result, the conduct of the
ordinary and the conduct of man
agers of elections may be review
ed by the Superior Court upon
petition of one-tenth of the quail
fed voUers who voted in the cleo
ton. This amendment was adopt
ed after hard fight.
A fourth amendment is pending
which provides that both sides
Shall have a right to a new cleo
ton at the end of two years. The
g,eat fight will be made on this
amendment. There is a strong
probability that the opponents of
the bill as it came from the House
Will succeed in grating it upon
the measure. The House will be
asked to recede from its position
and concur in these amendments.
1t Is not at all likely that the
House will do SO. 1t is already
anticipated that q committee OF
conference will have to consider
the bill and try to agree upon its
passage In some shape. While a
conference Of both Houses NAV
agree upon the bill with some
qualifications, it is now not un.
likely the measure may fall thro
owing to the disagreement Of the
two Houses. The Senate viii
probably get through with the bill
tomorrow.
