ABOUT BOOK BEER.
Some Stories of the Origin of the
Popular Spring Beverage.

From the Tammany Times.
just about now when the brewers are
advertising book" beer, it may be inter-
esting to many of our readers to learn
how it derives its prefix and wherein it
differs from the ordinary article.
According to some authority, theorigin
of book beer dates back hundreds of wears.
AS one story goes, youth in Flanders
made love to beautiful girl, and one
night expressed his affection by serenad-
ing her with fiddle. Why she should
have been offended at his use of fid-
die as an accompaniment i. is not ex-
planned, but at any rate she was
offended and refused to further receive
his attentions He tried one by one other
girls, with the same result, until finally
he was driven from the town and his i'd
die broken over his head. He sat down
by the wayside to brood over his misery.
when he was accosted by a goat, who
afterward turned out to be the devil in
disguise.
Said the goat: "If you will consider
your soul mine at the end of 100 years 7
will snow you how to get square with
your townspeople, who have so shame
fully abused you" The bargain being
struck, the goat impaired to him the
secret OF brewing beer of superior ex-
cellence. AS if by magic a mammoth
brewery arose in the youth S native place,
and with like magic he turned out his
new beer. The people raved over it. and
drank il, to the exclusion of everything
else, So, in appreciation of the giver of
the recipe, the youth christeued his
product book, or goat beer. That he
prospered, with the devil behind him.
goes without saying, as all youths should
do when lucky enough to gain a com
potency he married and became the chief
man ofthe town.
Finally, the hundred years rolled by
and Old Nick came to claim his own.
Now, our youth had not lived a century
for nothing. Age had ripened his facui-
ties, and so with the very beer she devil
had invented he made him drunk. and
when he awoke from his stupor he was so
dumfounded that he left the brewery

But on they rode, and only laughed at
Uncle Reuben's earnest concern about
their welfare. The sun was Just rising,
and as they rode along the banks Of the
Shenandoah-'the Daughter of the Stars
and listened at their hounds trailing
the opossum far up the mountain side, the
lark came forth to welcome them with its
morning song, and once more the people
OF the western continent went forth to the
duties Of newborn day.
OFF LIKE A FLASH
On the horsemen rode. talking of other
days, and for the time had grown entirely
oblivious of their recent warning. But
Just at a bend IN the road ROwena started

and there stood Uncle Reuben, who had
come by shorter way through the noun

as their friend Randolph was not hurt,
they laughed as much as Josh Billings
did when he caught his friend Mark

mucllage. 1t is needless to speak Of the

STRAIGHT OUT DEMOCRATS
Who Talk Straight Democracy in
Their Meetings.

Du Pont, Ca, April G1-The citizens of
Clinch county met mere to-day in mass
meeting, and elected a new democratic
executive committee and delegates to the
congressional convention. r. G. DECKER
son was elected chairman of the execu-
tive committee. Delegates to the con-
gressional convention were chosen as fol-
lows: r, G. Dickerson, George M. Dame,
b. A. Wilmington, j. d. Mattox.
The following resolutions were unAni-
mously passed.
Resolved. that we, the democracy of Clinch
county, indOrse the administration OF Presi-
dent Cleveland, and the record made by Hon
H.G. Turner, our representative in congress,
and that the delegates elected to the Eleventh
congressional convention vote for his renom-
nation. Resolved that we tender our thanks
to Col. @. II. Pendleton, of the Valdosta
Times for his appreciated address made to
Our meeting to-day. Also we tender our
thanks and hearty approval to the Valdosta
Times for its strong and untireing efforts in
behalf Of our party and its principles.
+ Clinch has an excellent executive COM
mittee, democratic TO the core, and they
will roll up large majority over any and
al opposition. The counties of Southeast
Georgia are for the administration and
sound money. They will never be led off
by the bowls of the soreheads, and the
great disgruntles.

without taking the brewer with him.
And he never came back !"
Another story which is given some Gre
dence is that a certain Duke in Bavaria,
who was a brewer in Munich and who
was very Jealous of his reputation as
beer-maker, happened to be entertaining
Duke from Enbeck. who was brewer
also. The host, of course, treated his
guest to the best beer he could make, and
naturally, wanted to know his opinion of
it. To his dismay, the guest said if his
brewmaster couldn't turn out better beer
than that he would send him to the dem
milton bow-Wows.
The host at once brought his brewnias-
ter before him, and asked him what he
meant by brewing a beer that could be
found fault with by rival. This made
the brewmaster very angry, and he chal-
lenged anybody in Enbeck, or elsewhere
for that matter, to do better than he
could. The challenge being accepted by
the visiting Duke, one of the conditions
was that each brewmaster was to do his
utmost with the next brew, and after it
had attained the age of six months the
brewmasters should meet in Munich, and
each drink seven quarts of the others
beer while standing on one foot, and then
thread a needle, and he who could not
perform this feat was to admit that the
others beer was the stronger and cOnse-
quently the best
EiThey met on the 1st of the following
May, in the presence of the MAYOR Of
Munich (whO was the referee) and a
large representation of the most satu-
rated beer gulpers in the kingdom. While
the contestants were in the hight Of the
drinking the master of the-Ceremonies re-
tired to an adjoining room to get the
needles and thread, but, in passing out, he
left the door ajar. when a billy goat, who
was confined there, escaped and made a
dash for liberty.
This was very inopportune for the En-
| beck brewmaster, as following the ac-
complishment of the feat by his rival.
he was just about to thread his needle,
when in his mad dash the goat bucked
| against him, and down he went, all
in heap, and the contest was de-
cided in favor of Munich. The En-
beck duke protested at the decision,
claiming that the book the term for
goat was the cause of the brewmaster's
defeat, and not the Munich beer, but the
referee asserted that the book that did
the business was in the beer, otherwise
the goat couldn't have upset him. So,
from that time on this beer made in the
Munich dukes brewery was called
book" beer.
Book beer is made in the same way
that ordinary beer is, but it differs from
it in strength, as it contains more hops,
and consequently stronger. Being kept
In the storage cellars at least six months
before it is put on the market, its quality
is much enhanced, and therefore proves a
special treat for all lovers Of beer during
Easter-tide.

paid-up capital is $4,000. For many
years this has been the only bank in

remarkable, and additional banking
facilities are now necessary.
There is no town in Georgia the size of
WaycrOss that is better able to patronizc
two banks than this place. The estab-

scarcely detract from the business of the
older bank, and there viii be kindly feel
