HOUSEHOLD.

To SOFTEN WATER In the
country can soften water with. WOOD
ashes in the following manner: Take
q pail of water and boil In 1T a half a
peck or so of hard wood ashes. Put
this water and ashes in to a barrel OF
well water. The water vii take on a
clOuded appearance, but soon settles
perfectly clear. If it remains milky,
more ashes and I've must be added, but
be careful to get in only just enough
to make the water perfectly clear. If
too little is in the clothes will turn
yellow.-MGTy.
To PRESERVE HAM THROUGH THE
SUMMER.-Make a number of common
cotton bags, a little larger than your
hams. After the hams have been well
smoked place them In the bags, then
get the very best kind of sweet, well
made hay, cut it with a knife, and
with your hands press it well around
the hams in the bags, tie the bags with
good string and hang them up in the
costs but little, as the bags will last for
years and no flies OF bugs will trouble
the hams if the hay is pressed around
them. The sweating of the hams will
be taken up by the hay and the hay
will impart a fine favor to the hams.
The hams should be treated in this
manner before the warn weather sets
in and the present time is about the
right season In many places.
GOOD COOKING.-Good cooking does
not consist in producing the highest
seasoned dishes, nor such as to foster a
morbid appetite, but in preparing every
dish we'll, however simple or common
it may be. There are, for instance,
families who eat any good bread
from one century to another, and have
no idea of what it consists. Nor are
meats cooked any better within their
precincts. Those little, simple and
healthy ~delicacies, which the good
h~Ouse-keeper knows mtuitively how to
produce, are never seen here. Even a
dish of potatoes cannot get themselves
well boiled. A member of the family
might as well fall among the HOtten-
tots, as far as any proper nursing is
concerned. These things ought not to
be, nor is there any need of their ex-
istence if the wife has any just notions
of her obligations to herself and those
about her.
SODA.-Did you ever try soda as a
substitute for soap in washing dishes,
cleaning sinks, etc? To a person who
uses very cheap or homemade soaps
perhaps this will be no saving in pence,
but | am sure the result will be more
satisfactory. If soda be added to the
dish water instead of soap there will
be no greasy rims around the dishpan,
NJ "suds" on the dishes, and they will
have a clean feel peculiarly pleasing to
the fastidioUs housekeeper.
In cleaning sinks and very greasy
cooking utensils it is invaluable. The
philosophy, or rather chemistry, of it
is apparent at once, the alkali acting
on the grease. If you have a sensitive
skin which will bear only the use of
some fine grade of soap in your com
mon house work, you will find soda
much cheaper and no harder on the
skin.
In fact, it is well known that soda
makes a valuable addition to the water
used in a bath.-GOOd Housekeeping.

mir. S y lie had T. p. Parks the Indiandoc-
tor, employed, and a few days ago he and
the doctor left Dawson for Willacoochee
where they did large business in sell
ling their medicines. People from all
the lower country tlocked there to con
suit with the doctor, and Mr. Slade was
doing a lucrative business.
Last Saturday, about 10 o'clock, Mr.
Slade was suddenly attacked with a Sc
we're spell of collie. DR.. w lcox, a physi-
clan of WillacoOchee, was called to see
Mr.. Slade and did all he could to relieve
him.
Mr.. Slade, under the protest of the
physician, decided to start for Dawson
that night, and when the train that pass
es Willacoochee at II 80 o'clock reached
that place Mr.. Slade was put on board
the car and started home in company
with Ross Slade, his twelve-year-old son
who went TO Willacoochee with him, and
DR.. Parks.
In about 30 minutes after leaving VIII
lacoochee Mr.. Slade had another severe
attack of collie and died while sitting on
seat in the car supported by the CON
ductor.
The corpse was placed on a seat in the
sleeping car and brought on to Dawson,
arriving here at O'CLOCK Sunday morn
ing.
Mr.. SHADES family were in ignorance
of his death until his corpse arrived here
and the news was told them by the little
boy who was on the train when his father
died.
The corpse remained at the deceased
residence in the city until Monday morn
ing, when the remains were taken to
Salem church, in Calhoun county. for
burial. Mr.. Slade had, for long time,
been a consistent member of that church
Mr.. Slade came to Dawson from Calhoun
county three years ago, and has since

Most of the teachers are well-known

will have an ADLER corps of teachers than
Dawson's city schools under the manage
ment of Superintendent +, J. Simmons.
These teachers were all elected sfteI
a most rigid examination, and as there
were about sevety-tive applicants those

cept Miss Waters, and she has received
thorough training as a teacher in the
normal school at Nashville.
Prof Harper has been principal of the
public schools OF Raleigh, n. c., for the
past three years, and comes to Dawson

competent and successful educators in

er. She has been teaching in the city
schools for one year, and has proved to
be most excellent teacher.

able experience in teaching in the public
schools at Newman and other places, and
is young lady of refinement and cult
ure.

in Virgia and North Carolina, and comes
to Dawson with excellent recommends
tions.
Miss Minnie Bloodsworth is a young
lady who has received fine education.
and is well qualified to give able assist
ance in making the city schools all that
could be desired.
The schools viii open on Monday, Sep.
TENDER 18th, and Superintendent Simmons
will be in his Office from the oath inst
until that day for the purpose of issuing
