1897 season, placing it at 9,948, ,091 bales,
divided as follows: Alabama, 1,094,625;
Arkansas, 797, ,412; Florida, 64,347; Geor-

Farmers in this section show very
little disposition to market their hold

longer. The German farmers, as a
rule have sold very little cotton, and
are stacking it up believing ultimately
in higher prices. This has caused a

Chicago, Nov. "a special to the Times
Herald from Benton Harbor says:
An English syndicate has purchased
Frank Physicator's gold mine in Alaska

Physicator went up to Alaska in Feb
ruary 1896, and cleaned up $4,000 in 20
days from claim No. 2 on Ell Dorado
creek. Since his return to his home near
this city he has purchased homes for all
his relatives and paid off mortgages for
others, spending about $15 900 in this way.

the denomination that founded it
numbered only few thousand. This
plucky little denomination has twice
endowed the institution, the first
endowment having been largely swept
away by the war. Twice also has the
college been compelled to build. The
present recitation hall is one of the
handsomest buildings in the State,
having been erected at a cost of
$4,000. Of the town of the Seceders
of Due West, Athens and the
Jerusalem combined, we can not say
too much. A few short visits to the
place attached us to the people and its
ways. We feel in love with the
town, it's customs, and its godly liv-
ing. 1t is an ideal town for resi-
dence."
When it is mentioned that Due
West is little country town, with a
population of scarcely 1900, which has
received its distinctive impress from
the institutions of learning there
located, it will be seen how essentially
it is place of classic walk and
academic groves, and hence the fond
ness for it of all who look there for
alma mater and likwise the charm il
has for all who come for the first time
in contact with the culture and
hospitality of is people.

A Slayer.

Colonel J. W. Barnett, in New Orleans,
told story Of an unusually fine bird dog
that he once owned, the best dog, he said,
that ever was in his possession. He had
trained the dog with great care to know o
bird by the feathers it dropped. Did a
partridge drop a feather, the dog would
take the scent and find the birds retreat
One day the colonel hit wild duck, but
only knocked out few wing feathers.
The dog shifted them and started away.
After little his master called him, but
got no response, and at the end Of an e1-
haustive search Of the neighborhood went
home, expecting the dog would come along
later. But the dog didn't come home un-
til q week afterward, when one day he ap-
peared, thin and bedraggled, just able to
trot slowly along the road, but carrying a
dead duck. The colonel had saved the
wing feathers which he saw the dog last
sniff, and upon comparison found that
they had belonged to the duck the faithful
brute brought homo. Apparently the dog
had followed the quarry until he found its
roosting place and nabbed it asleep.

HOW TO COOK A CHICKEN
Some Hints to House Keepers as to
Poultry.

Some Hints to House Keepers AS to
Poultry.
A great mistake made by many
people in cooking fowls too coon after
they are killed. They run out, grab
up chicken, wiring its neck, pick it
and cook it without even as much as
allowing it to become cooled off first;
consequently they are not 80 sweet as
they would be if allowed to ripen.
They are tough, and void of that
delicate flavor that they should possess.
Epicurains prefer that all meats,
especially fowls and game, be kept as
long as possible, without becoming
tainted, before cooking. An Old fowl
we'll ripened and prope--.y cooked, Is q
daintier morsel than the finest chick.
en- Just slain. Just so with all kinds OF
fresh meats.
A fowl should be fed nothing "a
hours before killing, and should be
killed and dressed "a hours before
cooking, during winter and summer
Therefore, we say let them ripen be-
fore cooking. The word "ripen" does
not mean tainted, but "to bring to
perfection"

John disdainfully.

"When he was boy, he was crazy about
gathering postage stamps. He wrote, ad-
yertised, hunted, and would have walked
across the continent for a rarity in his line.
Suddenly he switched to dogs and had ev-
erything from q toy terrier to Great Danes.
He had canine herd that made the neigh
borhood in which he lived positively dan
gerous. The dog craze lasted until he fell
in love. He was just as enthusiastic about
the girl as he had been over the dogs and
postage stamps. The girl married him at
last to have peace.
"When the honeymoon waned, he was
seized with the baseball craze. He never
missed game for a whole summer. He
yelled, jawed, bet, and was noisy bleach
er even in his sleep.
"Then came another turn Of the crank,
and he was an enthusiastic fisherman. he
invented and suggested more things to
lure fish into net or on to hook than he
had fingers and toes, and he made them
all himself in his back yard when the fish.

no more music in him than black bird,
