"ere Tue attracttVe features of OUT
social circle during the past week
The weather was Indictment, blu,
did not prove damper to the sp,r.
Its OF those who were present. An
unusual large number attended The
Miller entertainment, and glowing
descriptions of it's pleasures have
been related by more than one OF
the beau participants. amusing
and intellectual games, converse,
ton and refreshments were the
pleasing pastlmes of the evening
The cake drawing resulted in Mr..
w. e. Mcdonald being crowned az
king, and Miss Rosa Brily queen.
One of the boys evinced that he
missed Old Youth on these occa-
sions by asking if he was no longer
on the carpet. Yes, he is still on
the ragged edge of the rag, and
judging from the present outlook,
there he will remain indefinitely.
All that a country editor could
guarantee wife would be: For
pin money-the promises of delin-
quents; for food-printers' "pi.''
What sensible girl would consent
to LUX her fate with such con.

Thanks to our thoughtful con
gresham, Col. T. r. Stockdale, a
large number of our citizens have
received quite a supply of garden
seed. Garden operations are more
active here now than ever known
before, and the seed referred to
Came to hand just in the nick % time.
We will just here remark, that the
seed are Of choice varieties, and
that particular attention should be
paid to then cultivation, and q re-
port made as to the results accord
ing to printed instructions on the
packages. Such Information would
prove of great value to the agri-
cultural department at Washington,
and through it to the people at
large. The subject of tobacco cul-
ture Is also under discussion here
abouts, and we regret that seed for
experiment in that line were not
sent. If any tobacco is planted
in this section this season, we
would be pleased to hear the result
of the experiment.
As "moonshine" (rice) Is rapidly
coming to the front as popular
table dish, house keepers should post
themselves how to serve it in vari.
Gus styles. A lady furnishes the
Delta with the following simple
recipe for cooking this edible:
BOILED RICE.
I have seen many aud elaborate
directions for cooking plain boiled
rice, but ncna Of which are so sat-

out. Never stir it. 1t will be found
done with each grain "standing
alone," that highest ambition OF
this aristocratic dish, its destiny
fulfilled.
