Turkey speaks again.
Frinay. the Sth of July, was a
day of festiyity and mirth to
the good people of this section.
A grand picnic was held at New
Hope Academy by the youth
and beauty of the neighborhood.
Everything was furnished, sid
and done TO render the occasion
one of joy. Plentiful and delic-
iious ice lemonade was enjoyed
by all. aud when called TO din
ner we were reminded Of the
plenteons days Of old. The Ia
BILE was loaded with everything
required to satisfy the delicate
appetite of the most fastideous.
Fun was the order of the day
with tle little folks, and the
neighborhood clown yielded his
bits of drolIery, which were
greeted by peal after peal OF
laughter. The neighborhood
minstrel was there and picked
the binjo and sang. Duplin
flowers were there, among whom
was the ainIable and beautiful
belle of Magnolia. At twilight
the picnic adjourned and as
sembled in smaller parties in
the vicinity and kept up the
merry making until the wee
sma' hours Of the night.
The recent rains have greatly
swollen our streams. Marbles
mill was washed away by the
floods on Saturday night. 1t is
a complete wreck, the entire
structure being swept away, en-
failing a heavy loss upon the
owners and considerable incOn-
veni nee to the vicinity, which
has had its grinding done there.

Crops are very good in this
township, although the extreme
wet weather has greatly dam
aged them, especially corn and
cotton.

Well, Mr.. Editor, our crops
have been looking fine, but the
wet weather is hurting them.
All the little branches and the

Politics is raging over here,
worse than any other disease.
We have some men that are car
ried away with political mat
ters. This Third party that has
BEEN organized is a mystery to
some men in this section. If it
will do our country any good
we are all for it.

A New Industry.

So many people have discovered that
there is big money for a non-capitalist
in collecting empty fruit and fish cans
and burning the solder off them that it
is pretty hard to find a solid can in
north st. Louis, where the industry has
long since been carried on according to
strictly business principles. Some of
the pioneers in this work even found it
profitable this winter to make trip
through smaller cities, where an empty
tin can is looked upon merely as nuis-
ance and not as a possible source Of
revenue. They report that in more
than one place they were treated as
harmless lunatics, while once or twice
they were threatened with arrest as
Migrants; but no one offered any seri-
Gus objection to their extracting the
solder from the joints of the thousands
of discarded cans they found lying
around the alleys and dirt heaps and
they made very liberal wages on the
trip. The singular part of this indus
try is that the solder used on these cans
is necessarily of a high grade and the
product of the work fetches a good
price and finds a ready sale.-St- Louis
Globe-Democrat.

a GIRL OF THE LONG-AGO.

(; An old man sits at eventide when the summers
sun is low,
His thoughts, like birds of beauteous wing, go
back TO the long-ago;
He looks upon golden tress which like SUM-
beam lies
/ In his wrinkled palm, and tears will start IN
hidden to his eyes.
The tress recalls a girlish form. he sees it
through his tears,
| A merry voice rings out from where are grouped
the vanished years:
Yes, from the past Two eyes look forth with love-
light all aglow,
And now before him stands once more girl Of
the long-ago.
You'd smile to see her standing 'mong the
naidens Of to-day,
Her garments Of a quaint old style forever
passed away;
And in the attic, hid away-a secret tbs, you
know
Is an old, old dress. the wedding gown of girl
of long ago.
There are silver buckles on her shoes, dainty
little pair,
The old old man looks down and smiles, as If
they're really there;
He saw them trip the Money Musk when the
harveSrmoon was low
What said he on the homeward ride to that girl
OF the long-ago?
No matter what: the wedding bells rang JOY
ously one morn
When DER the clover came the wind 70 kiss the
silken corn;
And he who Oft with beating heart had played
the boyish beau
Stood up and biushed beside his bride-the girl
OF the long-ago-
That day the silver buckles got a new and
BRIGHTER gleam
And then began, by Heaven blessed, love'slong
ecstatic dream:
He took his bride to where the flow'rs of sum-
mer bloom and blow,
For he had won earths fairest prize, the girl Of
long ago.
And that is why lies In his palm that tress Of
golden hair;
It peoples with thousand scenes the thin and
viewless air;
And at his bidding from the past whose cur
tain hangeth low,
Comes forth in beauty and in youth girl Of the
long-ago.
Methinks that while he sits and rocks, with life
at its decline,
Still for his eyes and his alone her silver buckles
shine;
cannot tell you when she died; this only do
She is his bride to-day as when he won her long
ago.
A little miss steals forth sometimes and climbs
upon his knee,
Her fingers smooth his snowy locks, her eyes
are fair to see;
He kisses her with youthful zest, his own eyes
all aglow,
Because she is the image Of girl of the long
ago.

CANNING FOOD.
How Fruits, Meats and Vegetables May
BE Put Up.

How Fruits, Meats and Vegetables May
BE Put Up.
The destruction of germs, and the ex-
clusion of a5r, are the principles upon
which the canning of food is based. If
these things be properly done, no pre-
servative need be added, except to give
it flavor. Some substances require
long exposure to high temperature
before all the germs are destroyed,
while others need only to be heated to
the boiling point, and then be boiled
for minute or two. Nearly all small
fruits are easily preserved by thor
oughly heating, and then canning.
The larger kinds require longer time
for the heat to penetrate every part.
Some vegetable such as peas. beans,
corn. etc, require long exposure to a
high temperature. Meats are still more
difficult to keep, and it is the practice
10 add chemical to the water in which
the cans stand that the temperatur
may be raised to degree higher than
that of boiling water.
The essential things in canning fruit
arc to have the jars and covers hot. and
the fruit boiling hot The jars, also,
should stand perfectly level Fill them
with fruit and juice, passing a silver
knife between the can and the fruit
that all spaces may be filed with the
juice. Now pour in syrup until it runs
over the top of the jar; seal at once.
When the jars are cold, set them in
cool, dry, dark place. Fruit is always
better favored when sugar is put with
it; the amount is matter of taste

The fading splendors of the evening
shed a glimmering softness upon tie
landscape. Gentle waftings OF spice
laden air famed our cheeks; and the
quiet of the hour lay upon US like the
pressure of a loving hand. Freshened
by the rain flowers burdened the air
with grateful incense. Above US the
birds sang, while from the sedgy pond
far down in the hollow came the re-
sounding drum of frogs.
