Death of MISS Minnie AXE.

The many intimate friends and acquaint-
ances Of Miss Minnie Axe, in Colfax and
elsewhere, will be deeply gricved to learn
of her untimely death, which occurred at
Spokane Falls, on Wednesday night. Con-
sumption, that dread and lingering disease,
was the cause. Deceased was an estimable
lady, member of the Baptist church, and
was admired by all who knew her. The
body will be brought to Colfax to night, for
interment in the Colfax cemetery. Funeral
services will probably be held on Saturday.
-COJdr (IVash.) COmmoner. Dec, 9Th.
The subject of the foregoing notice was
the daughter of John AXE, deceased about
fifteen years ago, and niece to the writer.
Her mother, two sisters and brother, also,
preceded her to the unknown land. So far
as is known, but one member of a family of
eight remains. Consumption was the dread
disease in nearly every case. Though their
bodies repose in ground thousands of miles
apart, it is the consolation of the Christian
that their freed spirits form a closer circle
than earth can know.

Ed. Register-Fer the benefit of the low
| ers of corn bread, for the John Bulls who
know nothing of the luxury, you will let me
add nv testimony to what you said in last
weeks issue about the products of Col.
Loves mill. Having been raised in the land
of corn juice aud corn bread, and under the
infi uence of that Southern Institution of
ante belIum days, known among children
as black Hamn.y who presided over the
kitchen, and the destines of the children,
and made for them Ash Cakes, j ohny Cakes,
(Journey Cakes Hoe Cakes, Griddle Cakes,
Batter Cakes, Corn Dodgers, Cracklin
Bread, Egg Bread, Light Bread, and other
preparations of corn meal, all of which were
simple and cheap. L think l ought to be a
pretty fair judge of corn bread at least
(whether | am judge of corn juice or not)
as black Nanny did not give US this. And,
now, let me say that since Col. Lowe rebuilt
his mill, and sent me sack of his meal on
trial we have seldom been without it In
some shape on the table, and do not intend
to be so long as he makes meal. But as
good as we have always found it, that we
last received and made from his Hickory
King Corn, it is by far the best meal / ever
ate. G. b. NALL.
