ROASTED COTTON SEED.

Recent publications in the
Scimitar and Greenville, Miss,
papers, concerning the successful
use of cotton seed as the sole
food for work stock, have at
tracted much attention and COM
ment. They have also stimu-
lated the inventive genius OF
some persons ia attempt means
by which the value Of this prov
ender may be increased. The
Helena World mentions a citi-
zen of Phillips county, Ark, as
the inventor of q device foproast-
ing the cotton seed, by which
process, as he claims, it is made
more wholesome and appetiaing
than it is in the natural state.
The machine consists Of a
metal cylender ten or twelve feet
in length by two feot in diameter,
fitted with an endless screw de-
vice for carrying the seeds
through. Heat is conveyed into
this cylinder through two pipes
leading from q small furnace. A
hopper conveys the seed into the
cylinder at one end and the
roasted seed come out at the
opposite end. The inventor
says that a half cord Of wood will
roast two or threo tons Of seed In
IN incredibly short time, and that
an ordinary field hand can do the
work safely and properly. He
states that horses and cattle
relish tho roasted seed much
more than the raw, and he be-
lieves hogs will fatten on it, TO
satisfy himself on this point he
will roast tSo or three tons of
secd and fo6dil to his own pork.

HOW BERGIT FORGOT HER
j" CHRlsTMlAs- TREE. "

70 have d Christmas tree, and
forgot all about it. Her name
was Bergit, ard she lived in q
far-away land up by the North
Pole, where there is snow and ice
almost all the year round. In
Bergit's country, Norway, the
children do not hang up their
stockings as American children
do, and they kndW nothing about
Santa Claus. But every home
has its gqyly decofSted Chistmasr
tree, whose sparkling candles
are lighted on christmas Eye
Earlyin the afternoon OF q
certain day before Christmas,
Bergit and her little brother ALI
thought theg would go out coast

''Oh! but the coasting is so

the weather couldn't possibly be

"The wev- veF couldn't be had

"Please let US go, mother!" So,
half against her judgment, theiI
mother said eyes," and the
children began to get ready.

to give a good-by kiss to his
grandmother and brother Peter
before he went.
On their way to Giants Hill
Bergit and ALI stopped at a tiny

windows Of which were draped
with crisp White curtains and
decked with blossoming plants
The shutters were fastened back,

From the Bayou comes the re-
port of a very sad causality
which occurred near Union Ridge
school house Wednesday, August
18th. The particulars seem to
be as follows: Several children
on their way home from school
had stopped at the Merriott
spring. While there two boys
engaged in wrestling and in
their struggles fell against a
horse which was hitched near
the spring. The horse kicked
one of the boys on the head, pro-
ducing a wound from which he
died Friday evening. The little
fellow was eight years old and

one that an immense amount of work
has been done. The yard never looked

But great as are the outward improve
ments still more work has been done on
the inside. All the walls, in the first place,
have been whitewashed throughout the
building, from top to bottom. Every
part of the great building has been thor
oughly secured and cleaned The floors
have been painted CHEEKY while the other
doors are oak. Everything looks brand
new. Even the chairs and ALI the other
furniture have been vanished or painted.
1t would indeed be difficult TO plan a
better arrangement of a building for a
young ladies' school than Peace. Institute
now has. An improvement in the plan of
the building which would add in the least
to the convenience of the occupants can
not be easily conceived. The recitation
rooms could not be more admirably To-
Gated and they are provided with all
which will assist the pupils and aid the
teachers. The rooms occupied by the
bOarders are by far neater and more at
tractive than can be found in . most
homes. The infirmary is located SO that
the sick are entirely free from disturb
ance by noise or otherwise, while at the
same time they are easily accessible.

Some additional facts about the session

A colored girl named Upperman was
elected music teacher in Mrs. Pegue.
| (col) place and will receive $50 per
month, while Mrs. Pegues stayed in the
institution with her husband and received
$25. This is an increase of $75. Jim
Young's daughter gets $3.50 a month
more than her predecessor. The place
given Mr.. Thomas Tillinghast is a new
one, and this is an increase of $500 a
year.
But another place was created also and
a funny story is connected with the crea-
ton of this position. When this noble
board, or at least the majority, led by
Jim Young, who controls it, met last June
and turned out and put in right and left,
c. A. Anderson and James Anderson lost
| their jobs. James Anderson had charge
of the broom Shops and Charles Ander-
son was supervisor of the boys. These
men are both Republicans, but they were
employed by the Democratic board be-
cause they were the most competent per-
sons available for the positions. Well,
the new board turned G.. A. Anderson out
and abolished the position held by james
and after the board adjourned they dis
covered that they had decapitated two
good Republicans. This would never do
so when they met Thursday night they
re-established the position formerly held
by James Anderson in the broom shop
and elected Charlese Anderson to the
place. Creating this place again makes
an increase of 5000 each year.
| Jim Young's daughter receives SIC
more per month for teaching music in the
colored institution than the young lady
the white institution.
A gentleman speaking about this board
yesterday said: 81 want to have one
thing explained to me- l understand that
a trustee of an institution is not allowed
to trade with that institution or derive
any pecuniary benefit from it. How is il
then, that members of their family can
| be elected to positions in the institution
Isn't it the same thing?
