parents, teachers and for persons of

the teachings of the old school; now it

AN APPEAL.

Our Alliance. No. 1853. of Beaufort
county, n. c., do earnestly petition to
every Sub Alliance in the State to con
tribute something to our highly
esteemed Bro. E. S. Warters, Chaplain
of our Alliance, who, on or about the
goth of October. 1899, lost his barn and
contents by fire, consisting Of 700
bushels of rice. some cotton, cOrn and
other feed stuff, also lot of farming
utensils. A part of the rice was saved
and sold at a reduced price. A few
weeks later he lost a good horse. Bro.
Warters says after deductlng what
was saved from the entire loss he IS
then out of pocket $1,000. Bro. War
terS Is one of our charter members and
regular in attendance. His farm IS
under q mortgage of 81, 600. Had this
loss not occurred he could have been a
free man, out of debt. viii you help
some? We know him to be a working
man. He has a large family, a part
of which are orphan children. The
cause of this petition not being made
is this: he thought by going
into the trucking business that he could
clear himself Of debt without this call,
but his crops failed. Our Alliance was
organized March 4th, 1889. Now, dear
brethren, ever so small a contribution
will be thankfully received. Send to

Economy in a Family.

There is nothing which goes so
far toward placing young people
beyond the reach of poverty as
economy in the management OF
their domestic affairs. 1t matters
not ifnot a man furnish little of
much for his family, if there Is a
continual leakage IN the kitchen
or in the parlor. 1t is the hus-
bands duty to bring into the
house, and it is the duty of the
wife to see that nothing goes
wrongtully out OF lt-not the least
article. however unimportant in
itself, for it establishes precedent
nor under any pretense, for it
opens the door for Ruin to stalk
IN and he seldom leaves an oppor-
tunity unimproved. The hus-
bands interest should be the wlfe's
care, and her greatest ambition
should carry her no farther than
his welfare or happiness, together
with that of her children. This
should be her sole aim, and the
theatre OF her exploits in the bosom
of her family, where she may do as
much toward making a fortune as
he can In the counting-room or in
the workshop. It's not the money
earned that makes a man wealthy
it is what he saves from his
earnings. A good and prudent
husband makes a deposit of the
fruits of his labor with his best
friend, and If that friend be true
to him, what has he to hope? If
be dare not place confidence in
the companion OF his bosom, where
Is be to place it?

but hope to send you a full account soon.
We had a fine rain last evening with q
strong wind, but fortunately no damage was
done. The rain was. badly needed, and was
the best one we have had since April. While
it comes too late to be of much benefit to
crops it will give US chance for fall gar
dens. Some of us have had no gardens 70
speak of this year, it being too dry for cab
bage to head, or anything else to grow and
mature.
We have had two bales of new cotton and
there may be more brought in this week
The cotton crop will be short, and with low
prices, the outlook for business this season
is anything but encouraging. The corn
crop is short also, not near enough to supply
the demand, and the farmers will have to
buy again. Such a state of affairs should
not prevail in Washington county.
The Law and Order League is doing good
work. No more open saloons on Sunday,
and certain parties who have been living in
open violation of the law have been made to
respect the laws of the State, as well as the
laws of common deeency. All honor to our
noble Governor and the faithful officers all
over the State, who are having the laws en-
forced. May the good work go OF until the
cloud that has rested upon our fair State be
lifted, and then may she shine forth as the
brightest star in the constellation.

How to Make Coffee.

There are numberless recipes
for making good cup of coffee,
but perhaps the most delicious
product of the bean can be obtained
in this way: Take of freshly
ground Java and Mocha, in equal
parts, one ounce; pour over it suf-
fic9nt cold water to thoroughly
saturate the coffee; then add the
white of one egg-together with
the shetland mix we'll together.
The paste is now put into the cof-

then placed over the fire, where it
is allowed to boil for about half a
minute, after which 1t is allowed
to rest for FIVE minutes. The cof-
fee is then ready. 1t is clear as
chrystal, and the addition of a
spoonful of thick cream, instead of
hot milk, with sugar to the taste,
makes a cup of coffee fit for the
gods,
