Making Apple Butter.

What's the prince of occupations in the
autumn on the farm?
What's the job that sways the scepter mid
the sweet September's charm?
lark! | hear somebody mutter:
why, it's maxim apple butter,
That is reckoned the prince of Jobs in au-
tumn on the farm.
How's the apple butter making done in
autumn's pleasant days,
when the sunshines full of languor and the
air is full of haze?
20 it's easy. mighty easy,
Yet it keeps you mighty busy,
Maxim up the apple butter in the early
autumn days
First you make lot O. cider from the Wine
sap and the pppins;
Squeeze the cider press down solid, SOS
you'll get the latest drippin's,
Then you put it in kettle
And you boil it down little
Till you have the very essence of the Wine
sap and the pippins.
Peel your easy-cookin' apples, quarter
core 'em-wait no longer,
For your elders boiling, boiling, getting
still a little stronger
Then begin your preparations
For that prince of occupations
For the cider doesn't need to boil another
minute longer.
Bring your perforated stirrer and your
stock of patience. too,
And sit down and watch it rolling in an agi-
tated stew
Stir lt-stlr, don't let il stick
Or twill spoil most awful quick,
For it takes lot of labor and a lot of pa
thence, toe.
"Wheu You see the mixture boiling till it
warns You Of splinter.
Then the stirring must be lively, or some
naughty things you'll utter
AS upon your wrist or hand
With a 'splut' the hot drops land
For it's awful stuff, that butter, when it
once starts to splutter."
That's the prince of occupations in the au-
tlimn on the farm
That's the job that yields the scepter mid
the sweet September's charm.
Hush, | hear somebody mutter:
Yes, but eatln' apple butter
/ Is luxury in autumn and in winter on the
farm

Golden=Rod.

| know field, sunny field,
But not in sunny France;
And there is neither CLINT Of shield
Nor CLEAN of pennoned lance;
Nor does the wind toss knghtly plumes,
Nor silken tents unfold,
And yet in autumn it becomes
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
For when the haze of summer days
Has melted from the skies,
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heavens eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In joust with hreezes bold,
And golden rods bright champions make
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for tue tight.
And many lovely lady filings
Her token to her knight.
And so, amid their gorgeous suite,
With pomp and wealth untold,
Summer and autumn royalty meet
On the Field OF the Cloth of Gold.

The New Commander.

Colonel James A. Sexton, the new com
mander of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, has an enviable military record He
rose from the ranks to the command of a
regiment and he wears upon his person
tokens of the enemy's attention, having
been wounded at the battle of Franklin
and Nashville and having his leg broken
by Shell at the capture Of the Spanish
Fort, Mobile. Besides the practical meth
DDS of business man, Colonel Sexton
brings to the service of the Grand Army
experience gained in public life, in which
he has acquitted himself well. The Grand
Army has apparently made most excel
lent selection in the choice OF a com

OBITUARY..

Elizabeth Logan Ferguson. who was
laid to rest at Mcdaniel cemetery on
the 10Th of August, 1855. was born in
Shelby county. Wess Tennessee, April
a5:h. 1853. died August 10Th. 1898;
married VIM. Z. Ferguson. August
l7th, 1870. Eight children were born
To them, seven of whom survive her.
The deceased was a consistent member
of the Baptist church.
Hercareer as far as the affairs of the
world are counted was uneventfuI; to
her family and friends her life and
character was that OF the noblest.
truest type of womanhood. Ever
cheerful, patient and selfsacrilicing,
the memory of her gentle life shall live
in the hearts of all who knew her, as
an example of the ideal wife, mother
and friend.
Though death has robbed this family
and home of her earthly presence. the
sadness aud bitter sorrow of this
eternal separation will be obliterated
in loving thought Of her, whose well
spent life and peaceful death, will
serve AS an incentive TO better, nobler
deeds and prepare their hearts for the
reception of the same messenger who
has called their loved one and found
her ready To journey TO the shore from
which 10 one returns.
We feel that glowing words and
studied phrases would be inadequate
to express or demonstrate the beauty
of her life, and not in keeping with the
simplicity and Observation-Disclosures of
her nature, but only those thoughts
thati5realhe forth the deepest love, rev.
erence and admiration are i'm accord
ance with the life of her we mourn.
+ With tender sympathy for their ire
laya lie loss We commend the family to
the divine care and protection of God,
trusting they may realize that Earth
has no sorrow Heaven cannot heal"
and in this thought find solace and
comfort. Rest and peace 10 that dear
f'isnd who has gone far from us and
may We again greet her within the
portals OF tile house OF God
