CORRESPONDENCE
Mrs. Fannie Z. Suddarth, Cavanaugh, Ark: 1t is
cause of gratitude and pride to know the and
steady progress the south is making in every respect
and IN no department is she advancing more rapid
ly than in the province of journalism. Hitherto,
the lnsinuation has been made that intellectual
superiority existed in the north. That Mason and
DlXon's line was TIE boundary Of mental ability as
well as of geographical division. If such were true
IN the antebeum times it is quite the reverse since
that eventful period. Since the war the south has
regalned her former prosperity, and with it has
come the development of mind and body. The time
has passed when our southern women were content
simply to enjoy life. They enter the domain
of science, art and journalism and by the reflex in
fuence of their efforts immortalize their own
honored names and elevate their sisterhood 10 an
enviable height. The literature of the south is of
the very best. The men and women who govern
and control the public enterprises of the south
the first among the brave, true spirits who mould
thought and direct action. IT'S the Joy and pride
OF every southerner to know his loved fatherland
sits no longer in the dust of her recent great desoa
ton. She has with fearful eyes and gentle hand
lain aside her weeds of mourning and now wears
the brighter robes OF JOY and peace. While our
sunny south yet signs over the honored dead who
rest embalme1 within her basom, yet he secs the
awakening of grander life in all her borders Her
pulses thrill with the quickening power OF destiny
great and good. From the tombs of her countless
slain there breathes spirit Of valor that shall en-
dow her sons with chivalry and Christian heroism.
From off her many battlcfclds where once famed
the life blood of her bravest and BEST there blooms
the ripening harvest which, as it We're from death
brings forth strength and life. From her halls of
learning comes host of earnest men and women
prepared to lead the young learner to the fronts of
wisdom. From her fields of toll strong men step
forth the defenders of her labor and the deyelopses
of her industrial power. From her Christian homes
arise continually the incense of her PRAYERS while
from off her home and church ATLAS there arises the
Christians love andhope, which mingled with earn
est and faithful endeavor shall descendan blessings
upon her life AS yet no cloud of discomfort or con-
fusion spreads athwart her sky All is bright, all is
peace, untrammeled peace Let the south but
honor God in all her ways and that "peace that
passeth understanding shall be hers" Land ofmy
fathers live on in thy glory. and when other nations
shall arise in other years that shall know the not;
let the historic page CLEAN with thy matchless
deeds, and poety weave thy glory into immortal
song.
Mrs Maud Ellis Melbourne Fla: l have 70.
ceyed great many letters from sisters all over the
south about seeds roots and shells. | was little
late in sending my letter to THE CONSTITUTION, and
my vines have grown so large and are blooming so
freely 90 not think they could be moved with any
success. have large quantity of seed to dispose
of yet To those who wish to know the prices of
shells will say send my shells by mail in boxes of
three sizesone, two and three pints for twenty-five
cents, fifty cents and one dollar The shells are diff
erent sizes and different varieties Some quite rare
and all are pretty. Among them are bleeding-teeth
shells, which are very curious. They look like
little child's teeth bleeding and others too numer-
to take up valuable space in our Kingdom to

are looking very nice now. l am trying to raise
chickens and think l am succeeding pretty well.
My chickens Plymouth Rocks and White eg-
horns l have raised siXty-eight this spring from
twelve cid hens and one rooster. The snakes are
pretty bad them here. A large rattlesnake killed
one of my old hens that had eleven little chicks l
fought him for about hour and half and finally
conquered and now have the Tattlesnake's skin
dried and dressed. After drying his skin it
measured six feet and two inches He had seven

al. IT," Florence, s. c.: am very fond of light
bread made with milk yeast, but have never been
able to make any until this week, when seeing
Lena's recipe in THE CONSTITUTION determined to
try it, and my bread was splendid. 1t is Just the
kind my dear old grandmother used to make when
was a little girl When took the loaves from the
oven its sweet odor carried me back SO forcbly to
the long ago, that could scarcely keep the tears
since passed the river. Miss Ida Duke asks for
q recipe for transparent pies. / send one which /
know to be excellent; Beat eggs until very light;
put in sauce pan with / pound Of sugar and u
pound of butter; set on the fire and stir until It
thickens. Pour the mixture after it cools in duff
paste and bake. Lay few strips of citron cut very
thin in the paste. A little nutmeg makes nice
favoring. If any of the sisters can tell me what
will prevent my teeth from getting loose should
be very glad. They are not decayed but so loose /
can hardly chew on them. l find the Woman's
Kingdom neyer-iailing source of delight. The
tone of the letters published from time to time is
very eleyating think The sister from Texas was
q little hard on r. A. Let us suspend our Judgment
until we know there are no extenuating circum-
stance to excuse her for writing as she did. Per
haps she has made a brave fight to keep the wolf
from the door, and it may be that her heart was
breaking when she turned to us in her direst need
