A EsRace Wars

Tucker Bros. store, on South Main
street, was the scene of a general,
free-for-all, ock-down-and drag
out fight last Saturday night. AS
usual on Saturday night, the store
was thronged with negroes, some of
them drinking, and, on this oc-
casion, fighting and cursing. Be-
tween Z and 8 O'Clock, Jim Dodson
and Dick Johnson, both colored,
came to disagreement about a
dime and began cursing and fight
ing. Boyd Andrews, on of the clerks,
asked them to get out of the store,
and received an insulting reply
whereupon he resorted to more
strenuous means and kicked them
out. Later on, Jake Armstrong
another negro, became intoxicated
and endeavored to find a fight
with somebody. He tried one OF
the proprietors, Tom Tucker, who
kicked him out of the house. The
negroes were put under arrest anC
brought before Judge Erwin Mon

cases and were fined So and costa
There were so many negroes present
and such loud talk, that for time

blespoonful of melted butter. Pack
tightly into small earthen cups.
Paste papers over them, lay covers
over the papers and set the cups in a
pan of boiling water. Bake slowly
one hour. Remove the covers, and,
if it is to be kept a length of time,
pour melted fat over the top of meat

The bride remembers her brides

Hyacin,hs for Winter Window Garden.

NlHbeH hluuoN
Hyacinths require very little care
in order to reach perfection in the
winter window garden, but a few
important items must be observed.
The soil in which the bulbs are
planted must be a mixture of garden
loan, woods soil, sand, and a mod
crate quantity of manure two or
three years old, finely pulverized.
They must be set in a dark place un-
til we'll rooted, which will require
from four to eight weeks. The bulb
must never come in contact with
rank manure. Tulips are more SEN
sitive to atmospheric conditions
than hyacinths, and will blight if
the room becomes too warm. All
bulbs adapted to winter window gar
dens may be grown by the same
process. Avoid rank manure in all
cases, and use water only when the
plants are thirsty.

Kitchen Management.
1t is wonderful how much trouble
can be saved by method in the
kitchen. There is no department of
housekeeping that is of such vital in
terest to each member of the family,
and yet many, many housekeepers
try to conduct this department with
out rule, and only such method as
her cook, untidy and dilatory though
she may be, chooses to employ.
Every business has its rules and
regulations. Every kitchen should
have its rules-very few, but very
important-and the housekeeper
should see that they are carried out.
The servants and the employer will
get along with less friction and will
find the work to move on more
smoothly and seem lighter.
The first and most important rule
in every kitchen should be to keep
the vessels absolutely Clean"
sometimes shudder at the filth many
of us are willing to endure, to be
free from the worry of trying to keep
the kitchen clean. True, an inferior
servant is about the most aggrava-
ting thing woman has to contend
with in this life, and it is just as
true that we sometimes have to put
up with that kind; but we should,
under all circumstances, do our very
best to enforce the law of cleanli-
ness. The health and happiness of
a refined family are largely depend
ent upon this.
Punctuality, which is rarely
achieved without good method, is
another improvement on kitchen
rule. If the cook is utterly incapable
of "thinking ahead" and putting in
helpful touches during the spare
moments, and is incapable of being
taught to do this, she can never be a
competent Kitchen queen"

When the WHO is Come Away

When the wife has gone away, they tell
me that seem
Like some one that's a-walkin' an a
talkin' in adream,
/ move so quiet round the house, an
speak so soft and low,
Or sit there by the winder, where her
sweet geraniums grow
Or take the willow rocker beside the

An stare above the mantel, where | see
her pictured face,
For hours and hours together! Pm
strange" the neighb0rs say,
An they don't know how to take me,
when the wife has gone away!
The mockin' bird keeps singing in the
old mulberry tree,
An from the little garden the roses
nod to me.
The mornin' sky is jest as bright-ain't
anything to blame
It's jest my heart amt beatin' right,
jest me that amt the same!
You see, when folks have lived so long
together, through the years,
That sometimes brought 'em gladness
an sometimes signs and tears,
They kinder feel like they was one, an
hard it is to part;
An so, Pm always lonesome when the
wife is gone away;
1t seems Jest like it's winter roun' the

An there amt no Joy in livin' an there
amt no peace of rest,
Till once more we're united, an l fold

Woman And Her Place.
Extracts from IA recent sermon by
, DR.. J. B. HawthOrne.l
my wisest counsellor and my
bravest defender is a woman. Ny
heart is full of admiration and love
for all womanly women. My happi-
ness in life depends very largely
upon preserving peaceful relations
with woman. No atf1iction is more
distressful to my soul than the dis
pleasure of woman. But none Of
these things can blind me to the fact
that there are still few women in
the world who are not absolutely
perfect. 1t requires DO mental or
moral magnifying glass to discover
the fact that even some women in
the churches are still "a little lower
than the angels and that they have
not vet reached that elevated state
of spiritual wisdom, purity and
strength where the Bible and the
counsels of the living ministry are
not needed.
when remember how lovingly
the women of the gospel ministered
to Jesus as he iourneyed from place
to place, and how they honored him
even amid the frightful fury of a
bowling mob; when / contemplate
the answering devotion of the wo-
men who were fellow helpers of
the apostles in land of heather SUI
perstition and fanaticsm; when
consider how bravely women have
stood by the cross in every subse-
quent age and splendored the world
with the brightness of their testi-
monies; when think how loyalty
they have supported the faith once
for all delivered to the saints in
places where men wavered with
doubt, or shook with fear, it not
only surprises but horrifies me to
see, in the present generation of wo-
men, disposition to throw off the
yoke of Christ and join themselves
to teachers whose doctrines are not
only unchristian, but destructive OF
the very foundations of social order
and happiness.
